Summary

Object.prototype had no own __proto__ accessor property, so every reflection API disagreed with Node about it: hasOwnProperty.call(Object.prototype, "__proto__"), Object.hasOwn, Object.getOwnPropertyNames, Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor, Reflect.ownKeys, and "__proto__" in {} all reported it missing. That let a hasOwnProperty.call(Object.prototype, key) prototype-pollution guard (the idiom qs and similar libraries use) treat "__proto__" as an ordinary, unguarded key.

Root cause

crates/perry-runtime/src/object/descriptor_state.rs:454 (object_proto_may_intercept_key) and crates/perry-runtime/src/proxy.rs (ordinary_set_with_receiver, the #6828 special case) already implement __proto__ behaviorally — reads and writes reparent correctly — but purely as magic-key special-casing in the [[Set]]/interception-check paths, never as a materialized descriptor in Object.prototype's own descriptor tables. Every reflection API reads those tables directly, so none of them ever saw it.

Fixing that exposed a second, previously-unobservable bug: crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set/accessors.rs's primitive_builtin_prototype_property (the fallback used when a primitive's dynamic property read misses its own builtin prototype, e.g. Number.prototype) recurses into js_object_get_field_by_name(proto_ptr, key) to walk further up the chain, but did not preserve the original receiver across that recursive call. Once Object.prototype.__proto__ became a real, inherited accessor, that recursive call found and invoked it — bound to the intermediate prototype object (Number.prototype) instead of the original primitive — so (5).__proto__ answered Object.getPrototypeOf(Number.prototype) (Object.prototype) instead of Object.getPrototypeOf(5) (Number.prototype). This was unreachable before this PR because nothing on Object.prototype's chain was ever a real accessor.

The fix

  • crates/perry-runtime/src/object/global_this/proto_methods.rs: installs Object.prototype.__proto__ as a real { get, set, enumerable: false, configurable: true } accessor descriptor via set_builtin_accessor_descriptor — the same gate-neutral mechanism already used for %TypedArray%.prototype.length and the Symbol.toStringTag install in fix(runtime): add Symbol.toStringTag to Web/runtime built-ins #10632, which deliberately does not flip the process-wide GLOBAL_DESCRIPTORS_IN_USE/ACCESSORS_IN_USE hot-path gates. __proto__ was already treated as unconditionally interceptable by object_proto_may_intercept_key/plain_custom_prototype_may_intercept before this change, so installing a real descriptor for it changes no hot-path gate this key didn't already trip — only what reflection sees. A placeholder field write precedes the descriptor install (mirroring perf_hooks::install_perf_getter) so the key also lands in Object.prototype's own keys array — required for getOwnPropertyNames/hasOwnProperty/Reflect.ownKeys/Object.keys to see it at all, since the descriptor tables alone aren't consulted by enumeration.
    • The getter delegates to the existing, already-correct js_object_get_prototype_of (ToObject-style wrapper resolution for primitives, Proxy/Temporal/handle receivers, throws on null/undefined).
    • The setter delegates to proxy::legacy_dunder_proto_set, a new pub(crate) function extracted from the #6828 special case in proxy.rs's ordinary_set_with_receiver (previously inlined there) — both the real accessor's setter and that inlined fallback now call the one implementation, so they can't drift apart. own_set_descriptor finds the new real descriptor before the walk reaches the inlined fallback, so that fallback is now a defensive dead branch for Object.prototype itself (kept, since it is not provably unreachable for every path).
  • crates/perry-runtime/src/proxy.rs: the extraction above; no behavior change to the write path.
  • crates/perry-runtime/src/object/field_get_set/accessors.rs: primitive_builtin_prototype_property wraps its recursive js_object_get_field_by_name(proto_ptr, key) call with accessor_receiver_override_begin/_end — the same thread-local override resolve_inherited_field_from_prototype already uses for the identical one-level-up problem — so an accessor found further up the chain runs with the original primitive receiver, not the intermediate prototype object.

Surgical diff: 3 files, no other crates touched.

Tests

New gap test test-files/test_gap_10482_object_prototype_dunder_proto.ts, oracle Node 26.5.1. Covers:

  • Descriptor shape (get/set are functions, enumerable: false, configurable: true, no value).
  • hasOwnProperty/Object.hasOwn/getOwnPropertyNames/Reflect.ownKeys/"__proto__" in {} agreement.
  • Enumerability: Object.keys/Object.entries/propertyIsEnumerable/for-in all correctly exclude it (accessor is non-enumerable).
  • The issue's own qs-style guard idiom (keys.filter(k => !has.call(Object.prototype, k))).
  • Behavioral read/write: a plain object, an Object.create(null) object (own-data-property fallback, no legacy setter on the chain), an own __proto__ data descriptor shadowing the inherited accessor, a non-object RHS silently ignored (Annex B, no throw), a declared class instance (CLASS_DECL_PROTOTYPE_OBJECTS), a plain-function-constructor instance (CLASS_PROTOTYPE_OBJECTS), an Object.create(proto) synthetic object, and Number/String primitives (the receiver-binding fix above).
  • The object-literal special form: { __proto__: x } still sets the prototype without creating an own key, while a computed { [k]: x } with k === "__proto__" is still an ordinary own data property (unaffected — object-literal lowering is untouched by this PR; verified separately in crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_object.rs).

Before/after: on the pristine baseline (parent commit, before this PR) the test completes (no crash) and diverges from Node on 11 of its 23 output lines — every reflection API, the qs guard, and the plain-object/class-instance/primitive .­__proto__ reads (writes already worked via the pre-existing #6828 special case; only reads were broken, contradicting nothing this PR promises to preserve). On this branch, output is byte-identical to Node. Harness: PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 ./run_parity_tests.sh --filter test_gap_10482 → PARITY_FAIL on the parent commit, PASS on this branch (confirmed via the harness itself, not just a manual diff).

python3 scripts/check_test_registration.py: OK (338 files checked; this test needs no registry entry).

Validation

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check: clean.

  • cargo test --release -p perry-runtime --tests (RUST_TEST_THREADS=1): 4022 passed, 2 failed, 4 ignored. Both failures (gc::tests::copy_slot_decode::sabotaged_remembering_arm_is_refused_by_the_coverage_cross_check, gc::tests::heap_generation::a_free_or_move_outside_every_scope_is_caught_in_debug_builds) are pre-existing on the parent commit — confirmed directly (reverted this PR's 3 files to the parent commit, rebuilt, same two failures, same messages, none of this PR's code present) and independently corroborated: PR fix(runtime): add Symbol.toStringTag to Web/runtime built-ins #10632 (merged just before this one) hit and documented the identical two failures as pre-existing, unrelated to either PR (GC copy-slot/heap-generation internals; neither PR touches gc/).

  • ./scripts/run_lint_gates.sh (SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1): 76/77 passed; the one red (Public benchmark evidence freshness) is the pre-existing, repo-wide red every PR carries.

  • Gap suite: PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 ./run_parity_tests.sh --filter test_gap_10482 → 1/1 pass (this PR's new test). Full local suite not run (the change is gate-neutral and additive — one new descriptor entry plus a receiver-override fix on a primitive-property-miss fallback — not a hot lowering/runtime path used by most programs); left to CI's gap-suite shards.

  • Performance (perf stat -e instructions,task-clock, release binaries at CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_CODEGEN_UNITS=16, 3 runs each, parent commit vs this branch; Object.prototype is on every lookup chain, so both a directly-affected and an unrelated-path probe are measured):

    program parent instructions (avg of 3) fixed instructions (avg of 3) delta Node wall (context)
    2M-iteration plain-object property get/set loop (unrelated keys — control) 97.16M 97.08M −0.09% (noise) 0.048s
    2M-iteration hasOwnProperty.call(Object.prototype, k) loop over 5 keys incl. __proto__ (directly affected — the issue's own repro, scaled) 107.01B 107.32B +0.29% (noise; within the ±1% floor) 0.121s

    No regression beyond noise on either probe. The directly-affected probe's own printed count changed from 4000000 (pristine: __proto__ and b both report "not own") to 2000000 (fixed: only b does, matching Node) — the same behavioral fix the gap test asserts, visible in the perf probe's own output.

  • Package check: not applicable — the issue's repro is a synthetic reflection sweep plus a qs-shaped guard idiom, not a single package repro (qs itself needs a separate fix, tracked in Calls with more than 16 arguments: closure-value calls fail to compile ("closure call with 18 args (max 16)"), dynamic calls get 0 for params 17+ #10420).

What I did not verify

  • The full (non-filtered) gap suite and the 8-shard auto-optimize mode — left to CI's gap-suite shards.
  • Boolean/BigInt primitives' .__proto__ dynamic-property read: new bug noticed, not fixed here (out of scope — unrelated code path, unaffected by this PR either way). Repro: const b: any = true; console.log(b.__proto__); prints undefined on both the parent commit and this branch (Node: Boolean.prototype). Unlike Number/String, Boolean/BigInt dynamic property misses never reach Object.prototype's accessor table at all — there is no is_bool()/is_bigint() branch anywhere in object/field_get_set/get_field_by_name.rs analogous to the is_primitive_number one this PR's accessors.rs fix improves, so the value is unchanged (still wrong, just not newly wrong) before and after this PR.
  • Whether qs itself now round-trips through the guard correctly end-to-end (it has its own separate, tracked blocker, Calls with more than 16 arguments: closure-value calls fail to compile ("closure call with 18 args (max 16)"), dynamic calls get 0 for params 17+ #10420).

Fixes #10482

Object.prototype had no own __proto__ accessor, so hasOwnProperty,

Install a real { get, set, enumerable: false, configurable: true }
accessor descriptor on Object.prototype (gate-neutral, so no dynamic
property read/write fast path is affected), backed by the existing
js_object_get_prototype_of / Annex B legacy setPrototypeOf logic.

primitive_builtin_prototype_property's inherited-property fallback,
exposed by the new accessor: an accessor inherited transitively from
Object.prototype through a primitive's builtin wrapper prototype (e.g.
Number.prototype) was invoked with this bound to the intermediate
prototype object instead of the original primitive receiver.

Root the displaced accessor override during the recursive lookup.

accessor_receiver_override_begin returns the existing outer receiver from the thread-local override cell. That receiver can be a GC-managed pointer. js_object_get_field_by_name can invoke a getter, which can trigger moving collection. The GC updates the rooted cell, but not the raw prev_override local. Restoring that local can publish a stale pointer.

Root the accessor installation state across allocations.

js_closure_alloc can move the existing getter while allocating setter. The placeholder field insertion reaches ensure_key_in_keys_array, which allocates and can move proto_obj. The later descriptor installation then uses raw pointers and closure bits that may be stale.

Create a RuntimeHandleScope before the first closure allocation. Root proto_obj before that allocation, root getter before allocating setter, and root setter after its allocation. Re-read the handles before each metadata and field operation. Compute get_bits and set_bits only after the placeholder insertion returns.

Throw for null and undefined reflected setter receivers.

The direct reflected setter path passes an explicitly supplied null or undefined receiver to legacy_dunder_proto_set. reflect_value_is_object(receiver) then skips the prototype update and returns normally. The setter must throw TypeError for both receivers. Ordinary object prototype assignment is not affected.

Add the null and undefined receiver check before valid_proto, and add parity tests for both receivers.

perry_thread_local! swap was red (run 35374727647), same commit
otherwise. That settles causation directly, superseding the local
repro attempts (macOS both arms, qemu Linux) which all came back
clean and were inconclusive on their own -- including a qemu-VM A/B
whose two SIGKILLs were momentarily misread as a reproduced crash
before being traced to an operator pkill -f self-match, not a fault.

Also resolves why cargo-test stayed green on #10644/#10647/#10650/
#10651 against the same base: none of them touch shadow_stack.rs, and
this PR was never merged to main, so their runs never contained the
change at all.

The internal mechanism inside tls_hot.rs's resolution path is still
not understood; #10709 tracks that open half. This commit only updates
the code comment and changelog to say plainly what is now confirmed

Landed in merge train 222 (#10732), released as v0.5.1601 — main is now 7c5d04d0ea.

Closing rather than merging is how trains work here: the eight PRs were cherry-picked onto one tree, validated together, and landed under the train's own commit, so GitHub cannot mark this one merged even though your change is on main. git log origin/main will show your commits.

Close-keywords in a source PR body never fire under this scheme, so the issues this train resolved were closed from the train's body instead.

The tree passed: all nine cheap gates, cargo check --workspace --all-targets under -D warnings, the release build of all five pinned artifacts, every unit suite, both derived integration suites, and a 14-area gap sweep with zero unexplained regressions and every area asserted to have run a non-zero number of tests. lint completed its full 6-of-6 compile tier with no failure outside the known-red public-baseline step.
