Follow-up to #10287, whose first half landed in v0.5.1575 via merge train #10297. This is the remaining piece, rebased onto current main and re-verified there.

The bug

The store-plan cache exists so a property store need not re-run the interception vet — the prototype-chain walk, the class-registry lookups and the Object.prototype own-key probe. It refused any receiver carrying a descriptor at all:

const PLAN_BLOCKING_FLAGS: u16 = OBJ_FLAG_NULL_PROTO | OBJ_FLAG_HAS_DESCRIPTORS;

zod's $constructor opens every schema with Object.defineProperty(inst, "_zod", …), so no zod schema object ever held a plan and every one of its stores paid the full vet again. By profile that vet is about 7% of a zod schema-construction workload.

This is the same wholesale-flag shape #10287 was filed for, one layer up: after the store fast paths and plain_data_write_may_intercept, the same flag was still disqualifying receivers here.

Why per-key is sound

Own descriptors were a real disqualifier, not an oversight: a plan hit skips the own-accessor short-circuit, so a receiver with an own accessor on the stored key must not use a plan. But that is a fact about the KEY, not the receiver — a descriptor on _zod cannot intercept a store to parse.

The same path already computes desc_gate_ok (own_descriptors_skip_key), which proves no own descriptor covers this key, so the per-key condition was already available where the decision is made.

Measurements

Instruction counts (perf stat -e instructions:u), same host, stable to ±0.02% on the fixtures:

before after
300 real zod v4 z.object schemas 12.73 B 11.80 B −7.3%
2,000 receivers × (1 descriptor + 40 stores) 1.021 B 0.820 B −19.7%
same, 80 stores 2.233 B 1.825 B −18.3%
same fixtures with no descriptor (control) 0.675 B 0.675 B flat

The control staying flat is the load-bearing row: nothing was traded for this.

Validation

  • 240 shape, 101 descriptor, 31 proxy runtime unit tests
  • 6 native tests in crates/perry/tests/descriptor_store_fast_paths.rs

a_warmed_store_plan_still_dispatches_an_own_accessor is the witness for exactly the risk this change takes: it warms the plan for a class across 300 receivers, then proves an own accessor on a different key still dispatches its setter, that the property stays an accessor, and that a non-writable data descriptor is still respected. It fails if a plan hit ever skips that dispatch. Every expectation was taken from Node 26 first.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Improved object property assignment performance when objects contain property descriptors.
    • Store-plan caching now remains effective for keys that are not affected by existing descriptors.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Ensured accessor setters continue to run correctly after store-plan caching is warmed.
    • Preserved property ordering and assignment behavior, including rejection of writes to non-writable properties.

The store-plan cache refused any receiver carrying OBJ_FLAG_HAS_DESCRIPTORS.
Every zod schema object carries `_zod`, so none ever held a plan and each of
its stores re-ran the whole interception vet.

The flag was there for a real reason - a plan hit skips the own-accessor
short-circuit - but that is a per-KEY fact, and `desc_gate_ok` on the same
path already proves the key uncovered. Vetting per key is worth -7.3% on a
300-schema zod workload and -19.7% on the 2,000-receiver fixture.

The new native test warms the plan for a class across 300 receivers, then
proves an own accessor on a different key still dispatches its setter and a
non-writable data descriptor is still respected; it fails if a plan hit ever
skips that dispatch.

Walkthrough

The runtime now evaluates store-plan eligibility per target key. Receivers with own descriptors can use plans for uncovered keys. New integration coverage verifies accessor dispatch and non-writable descriptor behavior after cache warming.

Changes

Store-plan per-key eligibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-key descriptor eligibility
crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_set_by_name/tail.rs
Store-plan checks allow receivers with own descriptors when the target key is uncovered. Plan recording reuses the same per-key descriptor result.
Descriptor fast-path validation
crates/perry/tests/descriptor_store_fast_paths.rs, changelog.d/10287-store-plan-per-key.md
The test warms plans across 300 receivers and verifies accessor setter dispatch and non-writable descriptors. The changelog documents the behavior and measured instruction reductions.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to dca63

The runtime behavior is covered for uncached descriptor writes, but the new regression test misses cached writes for descriptor-covered keys. Add the key-specific warm-up before merging to protect this change.

Warm the plan for each descriptor-covered key.

Store plans use both the class and interned key. The current loop warms only (C, "plain"), so a.acc and b.ro do not exercise cached plans for their own keys. Descriptor-free warm-up objects can record acc and ro; the later own accessor and non-writable descriptor must then reject those cached plans.

Proposed test change
-for (let i = 0; i < 300; i++) { const w = make(i); w.plain = i; }
+for (let i = 0; i < 300; i++) {
+  const w = new C();
+  w.plain = i;
+  w.acc = i;
+  w.ro = i;
+}
