gc_pin_sites (#7645 custody) -- REAL. shared_sab.rs originated a pin with a raw `gc_flags = GC_FLAG_PINNED | GC_FLAG_TENURED` write. The block is a process-global alloc_zeroed with no GC_FLAG_ARENA, so it is malloc space and the young-pin latch must stay disarmed for it: that is exactly `gc::pin_object_non_young`, which the write now routes through. Its doc requires a case in `pin_object_non_young_call_sites_are_never_young` for every caller, so one is added, allocating a real SAB and asserting the block is never young. The header-survival assertion moves to masking reads (the gate's rule A) and GC_FLAG_PINNED leaves the import list, since a bare mention of the token reads as a pin creation. shape_descriptor_census -- a legitimate NEW callsite. #10936's region_guard.rs asks `target_layout::object_header_size_bytes(ctx.target_triple)`, the same canonical helper as the other 42 sites, rather than baking a literal. Baseline refreshed: exactly one entry added, summary 42 -> 43, nothing removed. global_sink_isolation x2 -- both FALSE, same scanner defect. It resolves identifiers by name across the crate with no scope or comment awareness: #10941's comment ended "those two words are THE NEXT CELL" and `CELL` resolved to a real `static CELL` in pointer_event.rs; #10938's test-local `const DETERMINISTIC` resolved to `stub_diag.rs`'s `static DETERMINISTIC`. Neither file touches a process-global. Reworded the comment and renamed the const to DETERMINISTIC_BIT; the scanner defect is filed rather than patched here, because a first attempt at fixing it dropped five identifiers the audit had always counted, invalidated a live allowlist entry, and could not be shown still able to fire.
#10936/#10946 added PERRY_REGION_READS and PERRY_REGION_DIAG without keying either, so codegen_env_vars_are_build_cache_inputs failed (#6394's rule). PERRY_REGION_READS is a kill switch: =0 makes both region slices decline and every guarded run lowers as individual reads instead of one shape compare plus a slot load. Emitted code differs, so it is a cache INPUT. PERRY_REGION_DIAG runs statement_run_census over the HIR and prints the counts from ModuleDiag::drop. The census result is read in exactly one place -- that eprintln! -- and nothing in lowering consults it, so the object is byte-identical with the report on and off: an EXCLUSION, with the reason. The kill switch is keyed into the OBJECT cache as well. Keying one of the two caches is exactly what #10929 got wrong one train ago, and the gate only checks the build cache, so the same gap was sitting here unreported.
Slice 1 of the CFG-defined region: a single-entry run of accesses over which one receiver's (pointer, ShapeId) pair is held, entered through ONE shape compare, whose failure leaves for a generic copy and never rejoins. This slice forms the runs that already sit inside one + tree, where leaves are already collected; the same program spelled across statements is the next slice. [R1] guard tag test + unmask + ONE ShapeId compare [R2] load every key's slot, from one atomic region word [R3] verify every leaf is a primitive Number [R4] use fold the tree with fadd The region does not compute the right answer when an operand is unfriendly; it declines before computing one. Hoisting every leaf above the additions is what #10904 did wrong; it is legal here because R3 proves no addition can reach ToPrimitive, and a failed check discards the loaded values and lowers the tree afresh, in source order, in the generic copy. That re-evaluation is only legal because every admitted leaf is effect-free: a read of the guarded receiver, a local, or a numeric literal. Supplier (b): the expected id and every key's slot live in ONE atomic word, primed on a miss by js_region_guard_pack (bounded to 8 attempts per region), so a concurrent prime can never pair one shape's id with another's slots. The slot comes from js_shape_ordinary_inline_slot_for_key, which already exists and already backs the element-shape preheader. Every failure edge lands in the generic copy, the post-#10921 lowering of the same tree, so a mispredicted region costs a few compares, never a cliff. PERRY_REGION_READS=0 disables; PERRY_REGION_DIAG=1 reports regions formed and the statement-level runs this slice does not reach.

to include getter bodies from c.getters, setter bodies from c.setters, and
computed member functions from c.computed_members, alongside methods,
static_methods, and constructor. Ensure census_stmts processes every class

Preserve source-order abrupt completion.
plan admits every Expr::LocalGet as Leaf::Other, including TDZ-capable boxed locals. The loop evaluates these leaves before it evaluates the region receiver.
For o.a + x + o.b, a nullish o must make o.a throw a TypeError before x is read. The current lowering can read TDZ x first and throw a ReferenceError.
Move the receiver guard to the first region-read position, or admit only leaves whose lowering cannot throw.

Include all class function bodies in the statement census.
The HIR stores getter and setter bodies in getters and setters, and computed methods and accessors in computed_members. The current traversal skips these bodies, so eligible runs in them are missing from the diagnostic totals.

Checked for the barrier gap I filed on #10946, and this PR does not have it. Two independent reasons. Source. ctx.block().store(I32, &next_tries, &tries_g); // the per-site miss counterAn IR.
So the difference between the two slices is structural, not incidental: slice 1's fast arm produces VALUES, slice 2's fast arm produces BINDINGS. Only the second one writes into a root, and only the second one owed a barrier. |

A region is defined by the CFG, not by an expression form: a single-entry run of accesses over which one receiver's
(unmasked pointer, ShapeId)pair is held, entered through one shape compare, whose failure leaves for a generic copy of the whole run and never rejoins it (design doc §L7.1–L7.3).This PR forms slice 1 of that: the runs that already sit inside one

The region does not compute the right answer when an operand is unfriendly; it declines before computing one. Hoisting every leaf above the additions is exactly what #10904 did wrong. It is legal here because R3 proves every leaf is a Number before any addition runs, so no addition can reach
ToPrimitiveand no user code can run between a leaf's source position and where it was read. The ordering — load → check → use, with both bail edges before any effect — is the argument, and it is kept in the module doc next to the code.Discarding the loaded values on a failed check is legal only because every leaf slice 1 admits is effect-free to evaluate: a read of the guarded receiver (the shape proves an own data property, so no getter), a local, or a numeric literal. That is precisely what #10921 could not assume for an arbitrary tree.
Supplier
The expected ShapeId is learned (supplier (b), §L14.18.4): a per-region atomic word primed on a miss by
js_region_guard_pack. The id and every key's slot live in one word, so a concurrent prime can never pair one shape's id with another's slots. A link-time constant (step 4, #10884) would replace the word load and nothing else. Priming is bounded to 8 attempts per region for the life of the process, so a polymorphic site stops paying for it.The miss side is today's code
Every failure edge lands in the generic copy, which is the post-#10921 lowering of the same tree, re-lowered in source order. A mispredicted region costs a few compares on top of what the tree costs without regions — never a cliff.
Does a region re-pay the tag test? No — it hoists the WHOLE guard
Lane 13 asked whether reads 2..n inside a region pay the 7-instruction tag test and unmask again, or whether the unmasked pointer is kept. Kept, in a register, for the whole region. R1 runs once at region entry; every later slot load addresses that same register. From
k4's disassembly (x86-64):So the claim is "a region saves the whole guard", not "a region saves a shape compare". Against lane 13's 16-instruction standalone read, stage 1's measured marginal for an additional read in a region is 2.33 instructions.
The one-word layout made LLVM vectorize R2 and R3
Unplanned, and it is why
k4beat the prediction. Every key's slot index is a 6-bit field of one word and every slot load ishandle + header + 8*slot, so LLVM emits:vpbroadcastqthe word,vpsrlvq/vpandqfor all four slot indices, onevgatherqpdfor all four slot loads (R2), onevpcmpgtq+kortestbfor all four Number checks (R3), thenvhaddpd+ twovaddsd. Four reads and four type checks cost one gather and one mask test. That is a property of the layout, not of the tree, so it should survive into slice 2 and into the link-time-constant supplier.Counts first, against the committed prediction
Predicted before building:
k4≈ 62–77 (from 126), marginal ≈ 5–10 per read (from 27.67).k4, instructions/iterationk4k4The counts landed exactly; the cost came in below the band. The vectorization above is the reason, and it is visible in the disassembly rather than inferred.

It still improves (−69) and does not cliff — every failure edge lands in the generic copy, and priming retires after 8 attempts.Real program: the tsc compile

PERRY_REGION_DIAG=1, emitted by the compiler, not estimated):Slice 1 reaches 56 reads; slice 2 is sitting on 205 in the same program — 3.7× what this PR covers.
The instruction delta on a tsc run is NOT MEASURABLE, and the control is why I can say so
Three arms, all
instructions:u, 3 iterations, each value already a min of 3 runs:PERRY_REGION_READS=0The same binary re-measured moves by up to 2.7%; two builds of the same program differ by ~1.2%. Stage 1 and its kill-switch control overlap completely inside that. The first pairing I ran (stage 1 against the #10921 build, −4.36%) was build-and-run variance, and the kill-switch arm — same compiler, same runtime, feature off, verified by the census printing 0 regions — is what showed it.
That is the expected answer, not a disappointment: 56 covered reads cannot move a 1,565 G run. Even at a generous 10 instructions saved per covered read, resolving it against a ±2.7% floor (±42 G) would need those reads to execute ~4×10⁸ times. The honest real-program result for slice 1 is the census, not a cost delta — and the census is the argument for slice 2, which is where the other 205 reads are.
The mechanism itself is measured where it can be resolved: the fixtures above (
k4213 → 54, and−159is 35× the fixture noise), plus the disassembly.What this does not cover, and what it costs
ks4/ws4measure that gap as a negative control and it is flat, as required.k1, unchanged): one read already pays one guard, so there is nothing to share.+trees. A run spanning a-, a comparison or a call is slice 2's problem, not slice 1's.Lane 13's matrix, and the 5 regressed cells accounted for

ocreatereceivers, +2–4.8% (15–48 instructions). That is the miss price, and my design under-priced it by an order of magnitude (it said a miss costs "a few compares", ~3: a failed compare and a branch). Measured with the kill switch, so the only difference is the feature:ocr2—Object.createreceiver, 2 readsocr4—Object.createreceiver, 4 readslit4— identical source, object-literal receiverlit4isocr4with the receiver's birth changed and nothing else, so the pair isolates hit (−163) from miss (+20).Why those cells miss every time, by construction.
js_shape_ordinary_inline_slot_for_keyreturns −1 unlesslive_inline_slot_count == logical_key_count. AnObject.createreceiver is born with 2 inline slots, so its later fields spill, so no word can ever be packed for it:js_region_guard_primepublishes nothing, the compare never matches, and after 8 bounded attempts the site is a permanent miss.Where the ~19 go (counted in the disassembly, x86-64):
bzhiunmask, handle-band test, load the learned word, load the ShapeId at +4, compare, branch.movthe attempt counter,cmp $0x7,ja. Every miss pays this forever, including after priming has retired.The "+3" estimate counted only the last compare and branch of that list and ignored both the prologue that produces its operands and the bookkeeping after it. On a hit those same 17 are amortised across the whole run (that is the −163); on a permanent miss they buy nothing.
Two cheap reductions exist and are deliberately not in this PR, so the miss price is a known number rather than a moving one: retire into the word itself with a sentinel the compare cannot match (removes the 3-instruction counter check from the steady-state miss), and note that the generic copy re-classifies a receiver the region has already unmasked (the prologue is duplicated on a miss).
The
ocreatefloor itself is not a region problem and is fixed elsewhere. Those cells sit at 726–998 instructions because a spilled read is ~100 and a spilled store ~219 (#10905); that is birth-sizing work (lane 8), not slice 2's. Slice 2 remains statement-level runs, which the census puts at 3.7× slice 1 in the same program.Tests
