runtime: build-time init snapshot census (instr-only): Supabase check differ=0, D 1,643 (93.9%), production bytes = main - #13935
Head e69fb22 (main 46c8e60 merged; the one conflict, the module initializer catch in module_require.rs, keeps the census enter/exit pair around main's catch_thrown). Re-verified on the merged tip: 34 fixtures as before plus a thrown-initializer fixture (closed exactly once, red when the exit is skipped on Err); fastify differ=0; callgrind Ir delta 0 on all six witnesses vs 46c8e60 with .text and stripped sizes equal; Supabase census check imaged same=1,159 differ=0, ab fixpoint pass 2, D 1,644 incl. entry body.
Previous head 9e2f5c2 (main 20e656b): Head 9e2f5c2 (main 20e656b merged). Supabase census check: imaged same=1,159 differ=0, checkfail 0. Production code is byte-identical to main: callgrind Ir delta 0 on all six startup witnesses, .text and stripped sizes equal.
What this is
The startup-snapshot census, in instrumented builds only (cfg(perry_gc_instruments), the _instr runtime) and off by default. A census run (PERRY_SNAP_CENSUS=<out> on a binary compiled against the _instr runtime) computes D: the module inits that a startup image could not hold and that must still run at startup. Every other init is imaged. The check run skips D, poisons D's bindings and compares the imaged inits' digests against the census run.
How it works: page protection over the GC reservation, the binary's writable image and the program's thread-local slots, with collection held until the boundary (the first import() or gc()). Faults single-step and re-protect, so execution is unchanged, and each 8-byte word access is attributed to the running init. Rules 1-4 (design SNAP_DESIGN §2.10) decide D.
Rules (one line each)
TLS program-slot isolation (§2.10.14): census compiles link two anchor objects around the program objects, so the program's TLS slots sit on whole pages of their own; the runner protects exactly the program's TLS data and bss.
Duplicate registration (§2.10.15): a slot registered twice is one location.
R1 representation decides ordering, not ownership (§2.10.16); R2 shared immutable cells by content; R3 derived state (WeakStorage) by its sorted entry set.
Prototype serials by birth name + derived leaves (§2.10.17); key names by what they are and symbol identity (§2.10.18); the persistent symbol space by range + stride, named by kind + description (§2.10.19).
Slack is learned allocation state; first use of a static-data cache is the runtime's (§2.10.20).
M1 check order: the check run replays deferred children in the census run's order (.dkids, knob PERRY_SNAP_DKIDS).
M2: a JSON.parse shape-keys cache miss is the runtime's first use, not the asking init's.
M3: a module slot written by a D member is D state (.wd, knob PERRY_SNAP_WDSLOT).
M4: a key-list backing is named by its first key (knob PERRY_SNAP_BACKING), from @ark/schema's {...opts, $: this, kind, def, prefix}.
Rule A: a module evaluation owns its once guard; the check replays D through js_run_module_init_guarded (third .dkids column).
Rule B: a string shape key is named by its bytes (js_string_key_bytes). Pointer identity is never required: js_string_equals compares bytes after the pointer check fails.
All census code is under cfg(perry_gc_instruments). The census-only items are placed below the line-labelled production items, so production line labels and .rodata strings do not move.
Fixtures (34; on = all rules; off = the fixture's knob off; counts are imaged modules same / differ in the check run)
Compile against the _instr runtime: 956 s, 28.0 GB peak RSS, 384 MB binary. memory.events of the job's slice: oom 16 before and after (no OOM during the chain).

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Instrumented builds can now generate an optional startup census report by setting PERRY_SNAP_CENSUS to an output path. The report captures startup activity, including module initialization, environment access, and globalThis locations.
PERRY_SNAP_FACTS can write a per-unit report of binding, layout, and cell activity.
Census instrumentation is off by default; production builds remain unchanged.
…tic text imports
Found compiling the Supabase CLI (pnpm 12 workspace, global virtual store)
from source.
- Node-API: a package's prebuilt `.node` for another platform is not part of
this target's graph. napi-rs loaders `require` every platform's binary in
turn; Node throws at runtime for the wrong one and the loader catches it.
The edge is now left unresolved (so it throws the same way) instead of
failing the compile as "not approved" / "no addon matching target".
- Node-API: a platform payload is approved through the allowlisted wrapper
copy the walk entered, resolving the declared dependency from the
wrapper's side. pnpm's isolated store keeps the wrapper outside every
directory above the payload, so listing `@napi-rs/keyring` never covered
`@napi-rs/keyring-darwin-arm64`.
- Static `import s from "./Dockerfile" with { type: "text" }` reads any file
as a text module (Bun's text loader); only recognized extensions did.
- `compilePackages` wildcard enumerates pnpm's `.pnpm` store (hidden hoist
and per-package entries) as it does bun's `.bun`. Without it a direct
dependency compiled from TypeScript source while its transitive dependency
stayed on published JS lacking source-only exports (`tldts` importing the
const enum `FLAG` from `tldts-core`).
A CommonJS module whose `module.exports = ...` value its source does not
spell out (a UMD `factory(...)`, an identifier, a `require`) exports every
name the program's static importers ask of it, as a snapshot of that
`module.exports` property: Bun and bundlers bind these imports, Node
rejects them. Perry already resolves packages' `module` entries the way
bundlers do, and those entries are written for this interop
(`@libpg-query/parser/wasm/index.js` imports `pg_query` from its UMD
`proto.js`).
The names are a program-wide fact: after the first walk, the named-export
check's edges give the names missing on opaque targets
(`CompilationContext::cjs_demanded_exports`), and the existing second walk
wraps those modules with them (`export const X = _cjs.X`, the binding the
wrap already emits for the names it reads). Only modules whose demand
changed are prepared again. Modules whose exports are fully visible
(`exports.X = ...`, `module.exports = { ... }`) keep the static error.
…ta in the native reader
Both failed oxfmt's bundled parsers in the Supabase CLI compile.
- A layout key list named a key's image string record by spelling the
atom's hex, but the record names strings over 256 bytes by length and
SHA-256: a long key (a TypeScript diagnostic message used as an object
key) referenced an undefined `@perry_image_literal_0_...`. The key list
now uses the record's own rule (`string_pool::image_record_symbol_of`).
- The native IR reader took only `!{!"NAME"}` metadata operands. The
indexed-owner loop declares its alias scopes inline: a nested scope list
in `llvm.experimental.noalias.scope.decl` and `!alias.scope`/`!noalias`
on its loads and stores. The reader parses inline metadata (quote-aware,
LLVM `\XX` escapes) and keeps the two attachments, which it dropped.
… they are self-contained
A package's sources stand in for its published JavaScript only when every
value import reachable from the sources its manifest's JavaScript targets
map to resolves: relatively, to a package installed beside it, or to a
built-in. Otherwise the whole package stays on its JavaScript, which is
what Node runs. Sources written against their monorepo left imports
unbound and the link failed on symbols named after the bindings:
`@posthog/core`'s `tsconfig` alias `@/utils`, and `@supabase/supabase-js`'s
unpublished `@supabase/tracing` (bundled into its `dist`). Type-only
statements are erased and not counted.
…stanceof
A callable class instance is a function object given a class prototype
(`Object.setPrototypeOf(fn.bind(this), new.target.prototype)`, ArkType's
`Callable`). Two reads on it disagreed with JavaScript:
- An inherited getter two or more levels up its prototype chain ran with
the first prototype as `this`: the static-prototype walk read the rest of
the chain with that prototype as receiver. It now uses the prototype's
[[Get]] with the original function as receiver (`js_reflect_get`).
ArkType's `BaseRoot.rawIn` (`super.rawIn`) returned `BaseRoot.prototype`
and `new UnionNode` threw reading `$.parseDefinition`.
- `instanceof` a user class was always false: only ordinary objects'
class shapes were consulted. A function object now has its prototype
chain walked for the class's prototype object (OrdinaryHasInstance).
test_gap_callable_class_inherited_getter_receiver matches Node.
An arrow passed directly to `super(...)` reads the derived constructor's
`this` binding, which `super()` initializes when it returns, to the
object the parent constructor returned when it returned one. Closures
capture `this` when created, so the arrow ran on the discarded allocation:
ArkType's `GenericRoot` (`super((...args) => .. this.names ..)` to
`Callable`) threw reading `this.paramDefs`.
Such a `super(...)` statement now declares a cell, the arrows read `this`
as `cell.t`, and `cell.t = this` follows the call
(`lower_decl::super_arrow_this`; `substitute_lexical_this_in_expr`
captures the local a property replacement reads). An arrow run before
`super()` returns reads undefined where the binding would throw.
test_gap_super_argument_arrow_this_binding matches Node.
A result named by no contract (`ret: None`) and one whose only member is
⊤ (`Some([])`, `ret_unknown`, every primitive kind) mean the same to every
reader (`Gen::fill_described`: ⊤ and every kind; `gen.rs` and the join
treat them alike), but digest differently, and which one a solve publishes
depended on the order its escapes ran (`ret_top`). Readers embed the
contract in what they publish, so its owner was solved again and published
the other spelling: oxfmt's esbuild `__commonJS` inner closure alternated
between the two every round. Both are now published as `ret: None`,
`ret_unknown`, every kind (as `fn_named` describes one). No fact changes.
The shared writes only grow (D16): last round's set already holds every
other unit's writes, so joining the units a round solved gives the same
set. Every round cloned every unit's writes into it instead: on the
Supabase CLI 86.8M stored writes into a ~3k-element set, minutes per
round. Only writes the set lacks are cloned. The set is unchanged.
Past 64 rounds (and again at 128, 256, ...) the driver prints the units
the round solved and, for each, the contracts it added, dropped or
changed, with the changed fields read from their derived Debug form.
Computed only on those rounds.
A unit's cell write is its last write joined with its latest one
(DECISIONS 197): the report read the latest alone and named every cell
the solve did not write again.
Replaying a contract's result transfer through a key (ret_reach_keys,
reach) loaded the parameter into a node outside the stand-in's run, so
the caller's own argument came back as a marker of no run: the caller's
result read it as another call's value and escaped. A recursive function
reading its own contract (babel's fe in oxfmt) then published the
transfer and the escape in turn and per-unit facts had no fixpoint. The
intermediate nodes are of the run of the node they feed.
…this
The rule covered only arrows passed directly to super(...). An arrow
created in a statement before super(...), the constructor's own default
parameters included, captured the receiver super() discards just the
same. Every arrow created before a super(...) statement returns now reads
the binding cell; arrows created after it read this as before, and a
constructor with no such arrow is unchanged. The gap test carries the
cases of #13543's test (arguments, default parameters, nested arrows, an
arrow before super(), a base returning nothing, per-instance identity).
… fixpoint terminates
Several units of a module can forward copies of a literal shape no unit
there births (effect cli/internal/parser.js: three units forward the
{onNone, onSome} shape). The forward branch replaced the entry, so the last
forwarder of a round won; a reader solved before it recorded an earlier
copy, saw it changed at the round end, and was solved again every round
(the Supabase CLI facts pass never ended). The copies now join, ascending
from the last round entry, as several owners of one literal shape do
(DECISIONS 112).
It compared contracts, own functions, values, cells and shared writes,
so a unit whose forwarded layout changed every round read as changed
nothing (#13579). Layouts, argument, store, write, receiver, method and
constructor-run contracts, defined functions, method runs, forwarded
layouts and reports are compared too.
effect cli/internal/parser.ts reduced to one module: the parse state
mode holds { _tag } literals that several units forward. Before #13579
the per-unit rounds never end (the test times out at 60 s); with the
join they end after 5 rounds.
…asks for it
Since main no longer seeds globalThis.AsyncLocalStorage from the entry of a
program with a dynamic import() (9890c0b), the realm global is born
inside the first module init that reads it, not at startup. Its birth now
runs under the realm rule scope (snap_census::realm_build, init 0;
PERRY_SNAP_REALM=0 leaves it the asking init's), like its population.
Census builds only; production bytes unchanged.
ensure_object_intrinsics and ensure_object_prototype_shape build lazily
inside whichever init first reads them; the build is the runtime's under
the realm rule scope. Census builds only.
The generator and async towers, the iterator prototypes and %TypedArray%
are built on first use like %Object%; their builds run under the same realm
rule scope. Census builds only.
Move census helpers after thread-local declarations and retain existing declaration lines where event hooks must remain at their events. Production TLS names include the declaration line.

Add PERRY_SNAP_CENSUS to the shared compiler cache key.
With caches enabled, compiling without census and then enabling it can reuse a binary or objects without census hooks. The compiler environment audit also rejects the unregistered read. Add the variable to COMPILE_ENV_VARS so both caches distinguish these builds.

setting it only at runtime omits entry-body and TLS tracking hooks and can
produce an incomplete census.
Review comments at @crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/entry.rs:
- Around line 195-197: Update the PERRY_SNAP_CENSUS handling in the codegen
entry flow so census-generated js_snap_* calls are paired with an instrumented
runtime when no instrument is selected. Use the established runtime-selection
mechanism; if it cannot select an instrumented runtime for this configuration,
reject it before emitting the js_snap_entry_body and js_snap_tls_program
declarations.
- Around line 198-199: Update the TLS model passed to `add_external_tls_global`
in the `SNAP_TLS_ANCHORS` loop to one compatible with dynamically loaded shared
libraries, while preserving the existing anchor registration and type.
Review comments at @crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/snap_env_site.rs:
- Around line 55-60: Update the expression census match so StaticFieldSet and
PutValueSet mark their stored operand with the same environment-read tracking
used for the existing store nodes. Apply this in every relevant lowering path,
including paths that clone the operand, so direct environment reads in imaged
initializers are recognized as startup-filled cells.

- Around line 380-386: In the literal-require initialization path around the
`init_fn` call, clear the census require marker on exceptional exit as well as
normal return. Preserve the initialization failure’s existing propagation
behavior and ensure a caller that catches it cannot leave the marker set for a

Review comments at @crates/perry-runtime/src/arena/region/reservation.rs:
- Around line 451-461: Update for_each_mapped to coordinate its walk with region

and preserve the current mapped-region filtering and iteration behavior.
Review comments at @crates/perry-runtime/src/builtins/globals.rs:
- Around line 643-644: Limit microtask-pump recovery to the pump that owns it:
update the flow around `crate::snap_census::job_enter(context.snap_init)` so a
nested pump’s throwing promise reaction cannot restore the outer tick while its
initializer is active. Ensure the corresponding `job_exit` balances the
`job_enter` frame, and preserve correct initializer attribution for subsequent
work.
Review comments at @crates/perry-runtime/src/fs/validate.rs:
- Line 203: Move the fs effect recording in the path-validation flow so it
occurs only after validation succeeds; invalid paths must not be counted as
filesystem access, while valid calls must retain fs effect tracking.
Review comments at @crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/policy.rs:

when an unsafe zone blocks collection, the pending live census is marked
unavailable and cannot be filled with heap counts from a later `gc()`. Preserve
the existing behavior for boundary collections that actually run.
Review comments at @crates/perry-runtime/src/intl/time_zone.rs:
- Line 17: Update the timezone resolution path around the host_read effect so it

Review comments at @crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_registry/state.rs:
- Line 1760: Update the dynamic superclass prototype getter path around the
runtime_scope census guard to preserve attribution to the requesting

census-scope behavior.
Review comments at @crates/perry-runtime/src/object/global_this/populate.rs:

Instrumented builds gain the startup-snapshot census (`PERRY_SNAP_CENSUS=<out>` on a binary compiled against the instr runtime): it reports which module inits a startup image could hold, with env cells, one environment guard, the entry body, key-granular globalThis locations and a check run. It is off by default and absent from production builds, whose code and startup cost are unchanged.
Set PERRY_SNAP_CENSUS to a nonempty value during compilation as well as when running the binary. Setting it only at runtime can produce an incomplete census: the entry-body and TLS tracking hooks are missing.

nonempty value both during compilation and when running the binary; setting it
only at runtime omits entry-body and TLS tracking hooks and can produce an
incomplete census.

Synchronize the initial mapped-region walk.
If another thread remaps a region during the walk, base and end can come from different incarnations. The census can then leave part of a mapped region untracked and miss accesses there. Coordinate the walk with region lifecycle updates so the census receives consistent ranges.

Limit recovery to the current microtask pump.
If a nextTick callback starts an initializer that runs a nested pump, a throwing promise reaction can make recovery restore the outer tick while the initializer is active. job_exit then leaves the Job frame behind, so later work can be attributed to the wrong initializer.

Limit microtask-pump recovery to the pump that owns it: update the flow around
`crate::snap_census::job_enter(context.snap_init)` so a nested pump’s throwing
promise reaction cannot restore the outer tick while its initializer is active.
Ensure the corresponding `job_exit` balances the `job_enter` frame, and preserve
correct initializer attribution for subsequent work.

Attribute superclass getters to the requesting initialization.
If a dynamic superclass has a prototype getter, the getter runs inside runtime census scopes. A host read in the getter can therefore leave the initialization outside D, even though its prototype depends on host state. Preserve initialization attribution across the getter, including the enclosing class-mint scope.

Keep the global key active for fallback shape reads.
When a global accessor makes the data lookup decline, the generic fallback reads the global shape after the key guard drops. An earlier D initialization that added a different global key can therefore cause a false D classification. Preserve key attribution during fallback shape checks.

The startup-snapshot census, in instrumented builds only (
cfg(perry_gc_instruments), the_instrruntime) and off by default. A census run (PERRY_SNAP_CENSUS=<out>on a binary compiled against the_instrruntime) computes D: the module inits that a startup image could not hold and that must still run at startup. Every other init is imaged. The check run skips D, poisons D's bindings and compares the imaged inits' digests against the census run.How it works: page protection over the GC reservation, the binary's writable image and the program's thread-local slots, with collection held until the boundary (the first
import()orgc()). Faults single-step and re-protect, so execution is unchanged, and each 8-byte word access is attributed to the running init. Rules 1-4 (designSNAP_DESIGN§2.10) decide D.Rules (one line each)
