In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/tests/dead_owner_side_tables.rs`:
- Around line 689-756: Update the test’s owner handling around the
key-allocation loops to root both movable receivers with
RuntimeHandleScope::root_raw_mut_ptr. After each js_string_from_bytes
allocation, refresh the raw owner pointer from its handle before field access or
subsequent use, including the post-GC new_owner path; preserve the existing
assertions while ensuring no stale owner pointer is dereferenced.
In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/object/mod.rs`:
- Around line 1667-1672: Move dictionary::latch_object_to_dictionary out of
set_object_keys_array_with_live’s publication tail so it cannot allocate while
callers retain a raw obj pointer; otherwise make it the final operation in
field_set_by_name/tail.rs and field_set_by_name/fast_paths.rs after re-reading
the receiver through its handle. Preserve key-count threshold behavior while
ensuring no stale obj is used after latching.
In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/object/native_call_method.rs`:
- Around line 2183-2187: Update js_native_call_method to preserve dictionary
dispatch: derive keys with object_keys_array(obj) for dictionary receivers
instead of returning the null stub, while retaining descriptor.keys for other
objects. Use keys_array_len_capped_to_capacity(keys) as the own-key scan bound
for dictionaries, keep inherited-field and class-vtable resolution reachable,
and preserve the existing null-stub fall-through for genuine real-object misses.

Root each movable owner across key allocation.
js_string_from_bytes allocates through string_storage_alloc, which can collect and evacuate objects. The raw owner and new_owner locals are used after that allocation without being refreshed. The following field access can therefore dereference retired storage and corrupt or crash the test.
Keep each owner in a RuntimeHandleScope with root_raw_mut_ptr. Re-read the raw pointer from the handle after every key allocation and before later uses.

Do not allocate while callers retain obj.
When the dictionary latch is armed, set_object_keys_array_with_live calls dictionary::latch_object_to_dictionary(obj) after publication. The latch roots and refreshes only its local obj; its js_array_alloc_pointer_elements and object_meta_ensure allocations can move the receiver. The raw obj locals in field_set_by_name/tail.rs and field_set_by_name/fast_paths.rs remain stale and are used immediately after the call.
Move the latch out of the publication tail, or make it the final operation in each caller after re-reading the receiver through its handle.

Preserve dictionary method dispatch instead of returning the null stub.
For a dictionary receiver that reaches js_native_call_method, this return skips the own-key scan, inherited-field resolution, and class-vtable lookup. The null stub becomes the method-call result directly. A genuine real-object miss still uses the existing null-stub fall-through; it does not throw m is not a function.
Use object_keys_array(obj) for dictionary receivers and use that array’s length for the own-key scan.

Boundary vs lane 8's Stage 1a (

| lane 8 | the shape FACT: the Dictionary kind, the record layout, facts_key |
| this PR | the STORAGE and the mode: ObjectMeta::dictionary_keys + its GC edge, the latch and its instrument, the branch at object_keys_array / set_object_keys_array_with_live, the six fast-path declines, the tests |
One mechanism of mine is superseded and should be deleted, not merged. I could not add a kind to lane 8's enum, so the dictionary shape is currently made distinct by a third semantic_generation namespace (bit 62 set, bit 63 clear), with dictionary_generation_namespaces_are_disjoint asserting it. With ShapeObjectKind::Dictionary in the record that workaround is dead weight: the dictionary shape should simply carry object_kind = Dictionary, and the namespace plus its test should go.
That is also better than what I built. object_is_regular answers false for a non-Ordinary kind, so several of the object_is_regular-gated fast lanes I had to decline by hand start declining on their own — which is the class fix argued for in #10942.
§L8.3.15f applies to this PR. The latch is stubbed and off by default, but it is armable from the environment (PERRY_OBJECT_DICTIONARY_MIN_KEYS, PERRY_OBJECT_DICTIONARY_LAYOUT_ID_BUDGET), so it is a trigger by that rule's wording and should not land ahead of the kind.
Proposed sequencing — not acted on, for the coordinator to set: lane 8's Stage 1a lands first; this PR then rebases onto it, drops the generation namespace in favour of object_kind = Dictionary, and re-runs its semantics and GC pins. I have not rebased, retargeted, or touched either of lane 8's files beyond the nine debug-only lines already here.

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.
…tput #10938 prints it from gc/schedule.rs beside the [gc-schedule] lines, so it appears under every fixture declaring parity-env PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_SEED -- 13 of them. The normaliser stripped only the [gc-schedule] prefix, so those fixtures diffed on instrument noise. test_gap_dynamic_import_alias_binding surfaced it, and misleadingly: the harness's truncated view showed identical first lines for Node and Perry because the difference was four lines down (#796). Reproduced outside the harness, the program output is byte-identical and the whole delta is the instrument rows.

PERRY_COMPILE_TIMEOUT defaults to 300 (run_parity_tests.sh:70), and a non-zero compile exit is reported as FAIL … (compile error) with no way to tell a timeout from a real compile error — which is lane 17's point on #10859.
The harness's own comment at :64 says 300 s is "generous enough to absorb a legitimate cold-cache auto-optimize runtime/stdlib rebuild … a from-scratch full-tier run can on its first test". The assumption is that one test pays it. It is one test per feature set, and http / net / crypto / wasm each route to a different perry-ext-* wrapper. First-hand: compiling a trivial fixture with this branch's binary prints auto-optimize: rebuilding runtime+stdlib (panic=abort, features=async-runtime) — the rebuild is triggered by the feature set, not by the fixture.
Stated as inference, not measurement: I did not run these twelve against main. The evidence is the width, the harness's own comment, and lane 17's prior root-cause. The one reading that would make it ours is "this PR slowed compilation", and 300.1 s is a runtime+stdlib rebuild, not codegen.
But the sharper point for the #10859 decision: any PR that changes runtime source invalidates the auto-optimize cache, so the first fixture of every feature set pays the rebuild inside a budget that does not account for it. This is not a dictionary-mode problem — it will redden twelve shards on every runtime-touching PR until #10859 lands. That is a second PR blocked by it, on the critical path for step 2.5.

…keys (#10868 step 2.5 stage 1) Default off. The predicate is stubbed and can only answer `true` when explicitly armed; lane 8 wires the triggers when the content key lands. Step 2.5 interns shape records, and an interned record is SHARED — it cannot be retired by ownership the way the 97.8% that die with their object are today. A workload with unboundedly many distinct key lists would accumulate shapes for the life of the process, and under one canonical keys array per layout its appends would cost O(k²). Dictionary mode bounds both. A dictionary receiver's ShapeId describes NO keys; its ordered key list is a private GC_TYPE_ARRAY in a new `ObjectMeta::dictionary_keys`. Values do not move — the key at position i still reads inline slot i below the live bound and spill at or above it — which is what lets the existing read, write, delete and enumeration code run on one unmodified. `object_keys_array` is the sole derivation of a receiver's key list, so one branch there carries every enumeration walk, `in`/`hasOwn`, `delete` and `JSON.stringify`. Two latch triggers: unbounded key growth (policy) and layout-id exhaustion (correctness — an object the interning allocator cannot give an id to has nowhere else to go). The budget is a published, injectable number precisely so the exhaustion arm is reachable by a test. Identity: one ShapeId per dictionary receiver, drawn once, from a third generation namespace disjoint by construction from the SHAPE_SEMANTIC_NEXT counter (bit 63 clear) and from deterministic_semantic_generation (bit 63 set) — dictionary draws set bit 62. Two dictionary receivers must never share an id because a compiled IC compares ShapeIds and nothing else. GC: `dictionary_keys` is a traced, rewritten child edge like `spill` (#6812) — one `visit` in the single enumerator that mark, evacuation, whole-heap rewrite and the dirty-slot rescan all drive. Sabotage-verified: remove it and `test_object_meta_dictionary_keys_survive_copied_minor_move` reddens on the "must itself move" assertion, because the list is never evacuated. Six fast paths read `keys.is_null()` as "no own properties"; two of them (ic_miss's inherited-read primer, native_call_method's own-field shadowing scan) would have produced WRONG VALUES rather than slow ones. They now decline. Measured (perf stat -e instructions:u, min of 3, fitted 500k->5M, no `| 0`): a spilled read is 163/read with the latch off and 3,292/read with it on, both byte-identical to node. That REFUTES the <=145 prediction and is reported as such: per L8.3.8 the latch tightens rather than the mode getting cheaper, and the cost is dominated by declining fast paths plus a per-site `is_dictionary` probe that a `ShapeObjectKind::Dictionary` discriminator would collapse. `ObjectMeta` moved to `object/meta_record.rs` with its offset pins: the sixteenth word took object/mod.rs past the 2,000-line gate. mod.rs lands at 1,813 — 148 below where it started — and the record and the transition cache, the two regions owned by different lanes, are now in different files. Verified locally (CI here is unreliable): 7/7 unit tests including the GC survival pin; test_parity_dictionary_mode_order.ts byte-identical to node with the latch off; check_file_size, raw_handle_debt, gc_store_site_inventory, addr_class_inventory, shape_descriptor_census and gc_runtime_root_holders all rc=0; no new warnings under the crate's default deny set.
…the compared stream Clears eight of this PR's gap-shard regressions. They are not a rooting bug. The failing set is EXACTLY the eight gap fixtures carrying a `// parity-env: ... PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_SEED=...` header - all eight, no misses and no false positives. That header is the only thing that makes a fixture reach `gc::schedule::report_exit_summary`, and this PR appends one line to it (`schedule.rs:686`). The harness merges stderr into the compared stream and strips the instrument noise, but the rule is a LITERAL, `sed -E "/^\[gc-schedule\]/d"`, which does not match `[object-dictionary]`. One unstripped trailing line, eight parity failures. Six of those fixtures are named `gc_*_rooting`, so it presents as a rooting cluster in whatever those fixtures happen to test. The shared property is the HEADER, not the subject. The comment now says so, because the next instrument added to `report_exit_summary` will do this again. Fixed in the rule that already exists for exactly this, rather than by making the counters conditional: a diagnostic that disappears when its counters are zero cannot be told apart from one that never ran, which is the false-zero trap this repo has hit repeatedly. "Always printed, zeros included" stays. Verified with the real harness (`PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 ./run_parity_tests.sh --filter ...`): the fixture fails before this change and passes after, and all eight pass with it - 0 parity fail, 0 compile fail. The other twelve gap regressions in run 35671819448 are NOT this PR's and are not fixed here: every one is `PERRY_COMPILE_TIMEOUT` expiring, measured widths 300.10-301.69 s against a 300 s budget. That is lane 17's class on #10859.
…alue() (#10924) Adopted verbatim from merge train 255 (#10950, `train255r`), which found this in its merged tree and fixed it there. The fix was never pushed back to this branch, so the branch stayed broken and the same break was rediscovered from CI. The comment is the train's. #10924 (train 254) replaced the header-less `NullObjectBytes` static with a real GC object and migrated every call site. #10938 was written before that landed and ADDED a new site in the old idiom - the shadowing-scan hand guard at site 3, the one `ShapeObjectKind::Dictionary` does not reach and which was therefore deliberately kept. Main migrated what existed; this branch introduced one more. The merge of the two is textually clean and semantically broken: `main`'s `object/mod.rs` no longer exports `NULL_OBJECT_BYTES`, while this branch's `native_call_method.rs` still spells it. Since CI builds the PR merged with main, every build job failed and all six gap shards were skipped. It was not only a compile break. Had it compiled, a dictionary-mode receiver would have got #10917 back - brand probes reading the `.rodata` bytes in front of a header-less value - which is precisely what #10924 removed. Rebased onto `a022cf2e4` (was train 253, `0fa391529`) in the same push, so the stack restacks once.

The fix is the train's, not mine
Train 255 (#10950, train255r) already found and fixed this in its merged tree and wrote it up in the train body — it just never came back to the branch, which is why the branch stayed broken and why I rediscovered it from CI. I took its code and its comment verbatim; the site is byte-identical to train255r's. Credit where it belongs.
Its point is the one that matters for review, and it is not the compile error:
Had it compiled, dictionary-mode receivers would have got the #10917 bug back — brand probes reading the
.rodatabytes in front of a header-less value.
#10924 replaced the header-less NullObjectBytes static with a real GC object and migrated every site that existed. This PR added one in the old idiom: the shadowing-scan hand guard at site 3 — the one ShapeObjectKind::Dictionary does not reach, and which was therefore deliberately kept when the other guards were deleted. So the same site that was right to keep needed the migration too.
Worth noting how it hid: the rebase applied with no conflicts. Textually clean, semantically broken — main's object/mod.rs stopped exporting the symbol while this branch's native_call_method.rs kept spelling it, and nothing in git's view connects the two.

One thing that changed for the better and is worth recording: the object::inherited_read_cache::tests::a_second_receiver_of_the_same_shape_shares_the_entry red I reported earlier is absent here. That is consistent with the attribution rather than a contradiction — it came from lane 8's feat/canonical-shape-identity commits, which are not on this branch; I saw it because the measurement tree was lane 8's base with this PR rebased on top.

#10938's new dictionary-mode early return still spelled the header-less `NullObjectBytes` static that #10924 replaced with a real GC object, so the branch did not compile and, had it, would have given dictionary-mode receivers the #10917 bug back: brand probes reading the .rodata bytes in front of a header-less value. It returns `null_stub_value()` now, like every other site. #10932's cross-thread test wrapped `buffer::buffer_data` in `unsafe` -- a safe fn on main and unchanged by this train -- which is an `unused_unsafe` warning and therefore a failure under CI's `warnings` gate (--all-targets -D warnings). Also: #10931 added `proto_serial` to the inline `ObjectMeta` while #10938 moved that struct into object/meta_record.rs. The field is ported to the moved module, placed after `dictionary_keys` rather than immediately before `native_state` -- the inline version sat between native_state's doc block and its declaration, which reattached that whole doc ("LAST FIELD ON PURPOSE") to proto_serial and left native_state undocumented.

The inline/overflow boundary is `max(object_live_slot_count(obj), INLINE_SLOT_FLOOR)` and the floor is 2, so the first two keys written to a zero-slot fixture store into inline slots 0 and 1 of an object that has none.

It returns `null_stub_value()` now, like every other site. #10932's cross-thread test wrapped `buffer::buffer_data` in `unsafe` -- a safe fn on main and unchanged by this train -- which is an `unused_unsafe` warning and therefore a failure under CI's `warnings` gate (--all-targets -D warnings). Also: #10931 added `proto_serial` to the inline `ObjectMeta` while #10938 moved that struct into object/meta_record.rs. The field is ported to the moved module, placed after `dictionary_keys` rather than immediately before `native_state` -- the inline version sat between native_state's doc block and its declaration, which reattached that whole doc ("LAST FIELD ON PURPOSE") to proto_serial and left native_state undocumented.
…fixes #10941) `alloc_{nursery,old}_test_object(0)` allocated exactly an `ObjectHeader` and left the receiver unstamped, on the reasoning recorded above it that "a zero-slot fixture needs no descriptor at all - the derived bound is 0 either way". A named-property write does not respect that bound. The inline/overflow boundary is `max(object_live_slot_count(obj), INLINE_SLOT_FLOOR)` and the floor is 2, so the first two keys written to a zero-slot fixture store into inline slots 0 and 1 of an object that has none. Those two words are the next cell. Every caller before PR #10938 only ever set a `[[Prototype]]` on one, so nothing had written a named property and the hazard was invisible; it presents as a wrong read now and a SIGSEGV somewhere unrelated later. Both fixtures now allocate `max(field_count, INLINE_SLOT_FLOOR)` slots while PUBLISHING the bound as `field_count`, so the collector still traces exactly `field_count` slots and the descriptor-count accounting the original comment protects is unchanged. Witness: `gc::tests::zero_slot_fixture` asserts the ALLOCATION, for both the nursery and the old-generation fixture, and reddens by name when the change is reverted. An end-to-end pin - six named writes, read back - was written and deliberately dropped: without the fix it does not fail, it dumps core, which under `--test-threads=1` takes the other ~4,200 results with it. That is recorded in the module doc. Suite: 4218 passed / 0 failed / 6 ignored, `--test-threads=1`, both arms.
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.
…tput #10938 prints it from gc/schedule.rs beside the [gc-schedule] lines, so it appears under every fixture declaring parity-env PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_SEED -- 13 of them. The normaliser stripped only the [gc-schedule] prefix, so those fixtures diffed on instrument noise. test_gap_dynamic_import_alias_binding surfaced it, and misleadingly: the harness's truncated view showed identical first lines for Node and Perry because the difference was four lines down (#796). Reproduced outside the harness, the program output is byte-identical and the whole delta is the instrument rows.

…t, so the ADDRESS is the content identity (#10868 step 2.5 stage 1b) `facts_key` folds six identity facts and one of them is the keys array's ADDRESS, so two objects with byte-identical ordered key lists in separately allocated arrays mint two ShapeIds for one layout. On a real `ts.transpileModule` that was 32,246 of 42,097 mints (`key_count` 19,923 plus `fresh_keys_known_list` 12,323) against a process that ABORTS on id exhaustion. `facts_key` is not changed at all. The address is made to tell the truth instead: every keys array now comes from `object/canonical_keys.rs`, exactly one exists per distinct ordered list, and folding the pointer IS folding the content. The probe path is byte-for-byte what it was. THE STRUCTURE IS A TRIE, so the O(N) L8.3.15 warned about never happens. Canonical arrays form a tree -- each is (canonical parent, one appended slot) -- so the table is an EDGE map, not a content map. `extend` is one hash probe plus an exact check of the single appended slot, and no list content is ever walked on the grow path. `canonicalize`, for a producer handing over a whole list, is a fold of `extend`: the same one path N times, not a second path. Edges are keyed by NODE ID, which the collector cannot move, so a minor visits one contiguous `Vec` instead of rekeying an address-keyed map. WHAT THIS DELETES, rather than guards. The growth sites used to clone the shared array with `+ 4` slack, PUBLISH the clone, push, and publish again -- two ShapeIds per grow where the layout changed once. The clone, the `keys_shared` ownership test, the slack and the intermediate publish are all gone, and with them `shape_keys_grown`'s owned-array index migration: no keys array is owned any more, so the arm does not exist rather than being guarded (L8.3.15c). `retire_owned_shape_siblings` and `fast_paths.rs`'s in-place append decline BY CONSTRUCTION for the same reason -- both already gate on the absence of `GC_FLAG_SHAPE_SHARED`, and every canonical array is shared from birth. Polarity verified from source rather than assumed, as in stage 1a. WEAK, EXACTLY LIKE THE TRANSITION CACHE, and that is what bounds it. #6759 phase 3 made `next_keys` weak after strong rooting pinned 16,384 keys arrays and 786k descriptors against under 400 live objects; this table is weak through the same two mechanisms. That answers L8.3.15c's retention worry, which assumed the intern table would hold its arrays: it holds none, so retention is proportional to LIVE layouts and this stage introduces NO latch trigger. `ShapeObjectKind::Dictionary` is in this branch anyway (stage 1a, b858fe900), so L8.3.15f is satisfied for #10938 when it rebases on top. Dropping a node whose array died orphans its children: a later walk from the root rebuilds the chain and mints one duplicate layout. That is a mint, never a wrong answer, and `fresh_keys_known_list` in the mint census is its witness -- which is why the census, not a perf gate, is this stage's instrument. The census also prints a named verdict, `FUNNEL OK` / `FUNNEL BROKEN: N keys ADDRESSES for M distinct key-NAME lists`, because the inequality can only be violated by a producer allocating around the funnel and nothing else in the process would notice.

Hoisting those three guards would fix three sites and leave the fourth to whoever adds it next; nobody holds the membership of this class in their head, including the author of the rule.

The in-place arm is copied from 34183f4 rather than reconstructed, because a dictionary array carries no GC_FLAG_SHAPE_SHARED and the parents owned arm is already exactly right.

…t, so the ADDRESS is the content identity (#10868 step 2.5 stage 1b) `facts_key` folds six identity facts and one of them is the keys array's ADDRESS, so two objects with byte-identical ordered key lists in separately allocated arrays mint two ShapeIds for one layout. On a real `ts.transpileModule` that was 32,246 of 42,097 mints (`key_count` 19,923 plus `fresh_keys_known_list` 12,323) against a process that ABORTS on id exhaustion. `facts_key` is not changed at all. The address is made to tell the truth instead: every keys array now comes from `object/canonical_keys.rs`, exactly one exists per distinct ordered list, and folding the pointer IS folding the content. The probe path is byte-for-byte what it was. THE STRUCTURE IS A TRIE, so the O(N) L8.3.15 warned about never happens. Canonical arrays form a tree -- each is (canonical parent, one appended slot) -- so the table is an EDGE map, not a content map. `extend` is one hash probe plus an exact check of the single appended slot, and no list content is ever walked on the grow path. `canonicalize`, for a producer handing over a whole list, is a fold of `extend`: the same one path N times, not a second path. Edges are keyed by NODE ID, which the collector cannot move, so a minor visits one contiguous `Vec` instead of rekeying an address-keyed map. WHAT THIS DELETES, rather than guards. The growth sites used to clone the shared array with `+ 4` slack, PUBLISH the clone, push, and publish again -- two ShapeIds per grow where the layout changed once. The clone, the `keys_shared` ownership test, the slack and the intermediate publish are all gone, and with them `shape_keys_grown`'s owned-array index migration: no keys array is owned any more, so the arm does not exist rather than being guarded (L8.3.15c). `retire_owned_shape_siblings` and `fast_paths.rs`'s in-place append decline BY CONSTRUCTION for the same reason -- both already gate on the absence of `GC_FLAG_SHAPE_SHARED`, and every canonical array is shared from birth.

Stage 1 of #10868 step 2.5 (canonical shape identity): an object can carry its
own ordered key list instead of interning a layout. Default off — the
predicate is stubbed and can only answer
truewhen explicitly armed.Why this lands before the content key
Step 2.5 interns shape records, and an interned record is shared, so it
cannot be retired by ownership the way the 97.8% of records that die with their
object are today. A workload producing unboundedly many distinct key lists — a
Map-like object built by name, a per-request object keyed by user input —would then accumulate shapes for the life of the process. There is a cost half
too: under one canonical keys array per layout an append can no longer mutate
in place, so an object whose key list is unique to it pays a copy of length k
per append, O(k²) over k appends. Dictionary mode bounds both, and it is the
only piece of that work that touches none of the content key's files.
The representation
A dictionary-mode receiver's ShapeId describes no keys at all —
keys = NULL,logical_key_count = 0, the live inline bound frozen at the latch, asemantic_generationfrom a third namespace — and its real ordered key list isa private
GC_TYPE_ARRAYin a newObjectMeta::dictionary_keys.Values do not move. The key at position i still reads inline slot i
below the live bound and the object-owned spill buffer at or above it. The mode
relocates names, never values, which is what lets the existing read, write,
delete and enumeration code run on a dictionary object unmodified.
A shape that claimed a key list the object no longer matched would be a silent
wrong value in every consumer that trusted it. A shape that claims nothing is
merely incomplete, so an unbranched consumer produces a missing property, which
a differential test against node catches on its first row. That asymmetry is
why the shape goes keyless rather than stale.
The branch is one function.
object_keys_arrayis the sole runtimederivation of a receiver's ordered key list, so branching there gives every
enumeration walk,
in/hasOwn,delete,JSON.stringify, spread andObject.assignnode-identical behaviour with no second implementation of keyorder, hole skipping or integer-key ordering. It costs nothing on an ordinary
receiver: a nonzero
keysword returns before the branch.Six fast paths had to be taught, and five are the same defect
keys.is_null()was being read as "this receiver has no own properties". Ona dictionary object that is false. Two of the five would have produced a
wrong value, not a slow one:
ic_miss.rsprimes the inherited-read cache on that claim — an ownproperty answered from the prototype chain;
native_call_method.rs's own-field shadowing scan becomes vacuously true —a vtable method winning over an own field (
obj.toString = …).The others (
inherited_read_cacheon a prototype hop,fast_paths' store lanewhich takes its bound from the descriptor and its keys from
object_keys_array,reserved_floor's restamp) now decline, which is alwayscorrect because the generic path reaches the same list through
object_keys_array. Rows 11 and 12 of the parity file are those two wrongvalues, written as tests.
Identity, and why not one shared dictionary shape
One ShapeId per dictionary object, drawn once at the latch — O(1) per object
against today's O(k). Appends mint nothing: the array's address is not a
fact of a shape whose
keysword is NULL, and an append moves no value, so acache primed on the receiver stays correct. A republication that swaps the
array (a compacting delete, which shifts values) draws a fresh generation,
which is what invalidates those caches.
Two dictionary objects must never share an id — a compiled IC compares
ShapeIds and nothing else — so the draw comes from a third generation
namespace, disjoint by construction from the
SHAPE_SEMANTIC_NEXTcounter(bit 63 clear, aborts far below 2⁶²) and from
deterministic_semantic_generation(bit 63 set): dictionary draws set bit 62and clear bit 63.

Measured, and one prediction refuted
perf stat -x, -e instructions:u, min of 3, fitted 500k → 5M, fixture carriesno
| 0(#10897),PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1. The fixture is thediffshape:one object grown to 64 keys by name, then
o.k47— a spill-located key — readin a loop. Output
48000in both arms and under node.The 163 is the useful control: it reproduces lane 13's 145 anchor on a
different tree and a different fixture, which is what makes the second row
believable.
P3 predicted ≤ 145 and is REFUTED, by 20×. Reporting it as measured rather
than reframing it. Per L8.3.8 the consequence is stated in advance: "if it
lands materially above 145, dictionary mode is #10503's kind of cliff and the
entry latch has to be tighter, not the mode cheaper." The cost is not the key
probe — it is that a dictionary receiver DECLINES every fast path (six of
them) and then re-answers
is_dictionaryat each site, and that predicatecosts a
try_read_gc_headerplus a ShapeId slab probe every time.Both arms are the same binary, because the knob is read by the runtime, not
baked at compile time. That is normally the shape of a broken A/B, so the arm
is asserted by behaviour rather than assumed: the two arms differ by 20× and
the latch-on arm changes observable enumeration order (below), which no
same-arm run can do.
The frontier, stated rather than left to be found
The latch-OFF arm of
test_parity_dictionary_mode_order.tsis byte-identicalto node (72 rows). The latch-ON arm is not, on three rows, and they are one
root cause: a keyless shape reads as "this receiver has no own properties" to
a long tail of consumers. Six were found by audit before the first build; the
force-latch run found three more. Reproducible in six lines:
The delete holes the VALUE slot and leaves the key in the list. The third row
is the same class from the read side: an own property answered from the
prototype chain.
Whack-a-mole is the wrong fix and I stopped. The architectural answer is
the one the descriptor-consumer audit reached independently: the shape must say
"dictionary", not "empty" — i.e.
ShapeObjectKind::Dictionary, whichis already one of the six components of
facts_key. With it, everykeys.is_null()/logical_key_count == 0consumer keeps its meaning on realobjects,
object_is_regularreturns false for a dictionary receiver so theobject_is_regular-gated fast lanes fall through on their own, andis_dictionarybecomes one field of a descriptor the caller already loadedinstead of a header read plus a slab probe — which is also most of the 3,292.
That enum lives in
shapes.rs, which step 2.5 owns exclusively and is activelyrewriting, so this PR does not add it. It is the next change, and it is
lane 8's to make or to hand back. Until then the latch is inert on main and
nothing here can fire.
