Closes #11414

Problem

A class used as a value (const C = A; f(A); A === x) was an INT32 ClassRef, a number carrying the class id, instead of a function object. So:

Fix

A class used as a value is its function object, built on the every-shape work (#11580, #11581).

  • Statics: class statics, static symbols and the constructor's own [[Prototype]] are properties and records of that object. The static side tables for them are deleted, and so is the class-static-symbol table.
  • Probes: "is this a class constructor" is now a fact of the function's shape. Ordinary receivers pay no class check, and ordinary functions are rejected inline before any class proof.
  • name and length: they are own data of the function object: read-only, non-enumerable and configurable. A static method, accessor or field with that name takes precedence. After delete, C.name reads "" for a base class and the parent's name for a subclass, and C.length reads 0, as in node.
  • Other cases: a class function object works as a dynamic parent, a bind target and a deep-equal operand.

Evidence

A/B against main b66f07b57: 5 interleaved rounds, each arm linking its own runtime, outputs identical to node.

tsc 79.115G 79.061G −0.07%

Census: tsc creates 15 class function objects and never reaches the class read path; Zod creates 40 and reaches it 35 times in the whole run. So in real code this PR is a correctness change and deletes side tables, and the speed gains are on class-heavy code.

Micro-benchmarks (instructions per operation; base was a full release build and head a faster release build, so treat these as approximate):

  • C.name: 4,566 → 856
  • x.constructor.name: 8,459 → 4,795
  • anyC.create read: 1,354 → 1,096

Tests:

  • Runtime suite (--test-threads=1): 4705/0, against main's 4700/0; the +5 are new class-value tests.
  • Codegen suite: 1 failure, index_get_claim_tests::the_number_context_coercion_is_coupled_across_every_arm. It fails identically on main.
  • 44/44 class and function fixtures pass, including the new test_gap_class_name_length_own.ts. The gap suite shows 0 regressions (every delta was rerun individually on both arms).
  • Sabotage: 7/7 targeted breakages go red.
  • GC root dominance on the IR corpus: 0 violations on both arms, 40/40 seeded violations caught.
  • Lint gates: clean apart from the host-only xwin and public-benchmark checks.

Still to do (follow-ups)

  • 3c: per-class keyed shapes and static methods as property-object slots, so a dynamic anyC.m() hits the method site.
  • 3d: static accessors as real accessor properties, deleting static_accessor_attrs.rs.
  • 3f: move CLASS_STATIC_DEFINED_ATTRS and CLASS_DELETED_KEYS into the object.
  • Replace the global "a class object exists" latch with a fact on each class.
  • Stage 4: class expressions become per-evaluation function objects.
  • Stage 5: delete the INT32 ClassRef form.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Class constructors now behave like function objects, with stable identity across comparisons, collections, reflection, and console output.
    • Class properties support more consistent reads, writes, deletion, enumeration, inheritance, and symbol-keyed access.
    • Bound class methods and static members now work more consistently across class and subclass operations.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Constructor name and length properties now follow expected own-property, descriptor, and deletion behavior.
    • Static-field access better respects redefinitions, read-only settings, and changes to a class’s prototype.

…value name"

Stage 0 of making class constructors real function objects (#11414). Every
decoder of a class-constructor value now asks object::class_value
(class_value_id / class_value_id_bits / class_closure_id), which accepts the
legacy INT32 immediate and the class function object form (a GC_TYPE_CLOSURE
whose code pointer is js_class_constructor_called, its [[Call]] that throws,
and whose capture slot 0 holds the class id). class_ref_id and
constructor_class_ref_id are defined through it; the raw `>> 48 == 0x7FFE`
class gates go through legacy_class_value_word / legacy_class_ptr_word, which
keep the old gate's exact INT32 behaviour (the #11414 sites stage 5 narrows)
and also admit the function-object form.

Nothing produces the function-object form yet: no behaviour change.
…11414)

A class value was the INT32 immediate `0x7FFE_0000_0000_0000 | class_id`,
bit-identical to the int32 number equal to its id: `1 === A` was true, a
`switch (1) { case A: }` matched, `[A, 1].indexOf(1)` found the class,
JSON.stringify printed the id and `A instanceof Object` was false.

Each class now has ONE function object per agent (object/class_value.rs): a
GC_TYPE_CLOSURE whose code pointer is js_class_constructor_called (its
[[Call]], which throws) and whose capture slot 0 holds the class id; minted on
first use, born in the old arena and pinned (under a GcSuppressScope, so the
lookup never collects), rooted by a per-agent two-level table.
`js_class_value(cid)` is its C entry; gc_call_effects classifies it
CannotCollect.

Producers: the eleven codegen sites that spelled a class as a value
(Expr::ClassRef, `ns.C`, imported classes, static `this` in methods and field
initializers, the static-field arrow `this` slot, new.target on the inlined
and cross-module constructor paths, the static-dispatch receiver) call it;
the runtime producers (class_constructor_ref_value, getPrototypeOf's parent,
the dynamic parent fallback, static super's target, a class object's
`constructor`) return it. Reflect metadata keys fold a class value onto the
stable id key. Function.prototype.toString / String() render the class
source; util.inspect prints `[class A extends B] { statics }`.

C.prototype keeps its current forms; statics stay in their side tables (the
next stage moves them into the function object's own-property bag).
… class function object

- Each site that names a class as a value caches the pinned function object
  in a zero-initialised per-site global (thread-local when the program starts
  workers): a load and a never-taken branch after the first use, instead of a
  per-agent table lookup (`(i & 1) ? A : B` + compare: 281 -> 34 instr/op;
  base 24.5).
- Strict identity against `Expr::ClassRef` is bit identity (the object is one
  per class and never moves), like proven symbols: no js_jsvalue_equals.
- A static method's prologue resolves `this` with js_static_this_resolve_class
  (cid) instead of materializing the class value on every call.
- `new C()` on a class value decides "class" first (one closure probe) instead
  of after the exotic-constructor arms (dynamic new 11218 -> 6713; base 6545).
- Gates: object/mod.rs back to 2000 lines (the scanner registers in gc::mod;
  callers name object::class_value::* directly), pin through
  pin_user_ptr_non_young and the header read through addr_class, metadata
  tests pinned to the stable key, three class_value unit tests, the latch test
  covers the new pin site, changelog fragment.
…ction object

class_closure_id runs on hot generic paths (bind targets, bound-method
receivers, method values) for every pointer. It proved ownership first
(is_closure_ptr: heap-generation classification and a tracked header read),
which cost Zod +4.2% instructions (is_closure_ptr +2.3%). An exotic-band
ShapeId word followed by a code pointer other than js_class_constructor_called
now rejects before the proof; only a class function object is proven.
…properties

Stage 3a of class constructors as function objects. A class's static data
properties (declared static fields and runtime `C.x = v`) were a cid-keyed
side table (CLASS_DYNAMIC_PROPS + CLASS_DYNAMIC_PROP_ORDER) that only the
class branches consulted. They are now slots of the class function object's
own-property bag (closure::props, D1) — traced as the object's child edge,
barriered, in creation order — and runtime-internal static keys (private
statics, computed-key records, class captures) live in the object's internal
state record, never as properties.

The storage primitives (class_dynamic_prop_root_store,
class_own_static_field_value, class_own_dynamic_prop_names,
class_has_own_dynamic_prop, class_delete_own_dynamic_prop) keep their
signatures over object::class_value::class_static_{get,set,remove,entries};
the seven direct readers use them; both tables, their root scans and the
incremental root-slot variant are deleted. GC tests that seeded a static as a
root slot now seed a class-table root that still is one; the copying test
keeps checking a young static is moved and rewritten (now through the bag).

Because the generic closure paths read the bag, `{...C}`, Object.assign,
Object.entries and for-in see a class's statics (they saw nothing).

A `static { }` block is no longer registered as a static method, so
`__perry_static_init_N` stops leaking into Reflect.ownKeys /
getOwnPropertyNames.
…get and a deep-equal operand

Found by the gap suite on the stage-1/2 build (20 class tests):
- `super()` to a dynamic parent that is a class (mixins, factory heritage,
  `extends ns.C`) tested the INT32 tag and fell through to calling the
  parent's [[Call]] (TypeError "cannot be invoked without 'new'"); it now
  asks class_value_id and runs the class constructor on `this`.
  is_self_heritage_value likewise.
- `C.bind(x).name` fell back to the thunk's function name ("bound ");
  the declared name of a class function object is its class's.
- util.isDeepStrictEqual(ClassA, ClassB) compared renderings, so two classes
  named alike were deep-equal; a class is identity-only, like a promise.
js_function_bind asked class_ref_id (and the legacy word) for every target
before learning it was a closure; value_is_callable asked class_ref_id before
the closure probe. A pointer target is a closure or a native handle (a class
function object is a closure), so only a non-pointer target pays the class
probe now. class_ref_id / class_prototype_ref_id are #[inline]: the method-bind
path calls them per bind with an instance receiver, which the pre-filter
rejects on the ShapeId word.
…d static tables

CLASS_DYNAMIC_PROPS and CLASS_DYNAMIC_PROP_ORDER are gone (statics live in the
class function object's bag); PASS1_MARKED's gc/mod.rs pin is re-audited for
the one added reg_scanner! registration (the class-value table).
…up first

A class held in `any` paid the plain-function walk before the class lookup:
`C.s` went IC miss -> closure_get_dynamic_prop's Function.prototype fallbacks
(allocating builtin-name strings) -> the object tail -> the class branch, and
`C.m()` walked the instance/native/own-override arms of js_native_call_method
first (per op, LTO-off builds: static_get 1608 -> 17229, dyn_static_call
3066 -> 32K).

- The class branch of the generic read is now class_value_get_field; the
  generic read, closure_dynamic_prop_by_key (the IC-miss closure arm) and
  js_native_call_method route a class function object to it / to the class
  arm first (one ShapeId-word pre-filter for every other receiver).
- The per-agent class table is a borrow-free page directory (TLS read, bounds
  check, two loads).
- A static method's prologue caches its class's function object in its own
  zero-initialised global via js_static_this_resolve_class(cid, slot).

Per op now (instr/op, base -> this, LTO-off): static_get 1608 -> 1572,
dyn_static_call 3066 -> 3190, static_call 33 -> 46, dyn_new 8580 -> 8560,
ctor_eq 4391 -> 4487, instanceof 470 -> 472, map_get 1071 -> 1124,
class_value 24.5 -> 33.5.
…s pay no class check

A class function object now carries its own sticky ShapeId
(function_class_shape: dictionary kind, marker proto fact
INTRINSIC_SERIAL_CLASS_CONSTRUCTOR_MARKER so it is not the FunctionDictionary
id). No own-property transition moves it off that shape.

The early class checks a4298db0b put in the generic read and in
js_native_call_method's prologue ran for every receiver, and they changed
inlining in the dispatcher (map.get +104 instr/op). They are gone. A class
receiver is now routed only where a function is already proven and the
ordinary test has already failed:
- method calls: in the function-shape arm, after the Function.prototype
  inherits test declines (function_shape_decline, cold) ->
  class_value_method_call -> class_receiver_arm, which is the class arm split
  out of dispatch_primitive;
- reads: in closure_get_dynamic_prop's non-base branch -> class_static_read.

On those hot paths the class test is the code-pointer compare
(shape::is_class_code). It is equivalent to the class ShapeId, since both are
set at mint and never change, and it needs no thread-local read. The
call/apply gates test the INT32 tag first, because a class function object's
code is its throwing [[Call]] already. class_closure_id's proof is out of
line behind its inline pre-filter. The parent-closure walk no longer answers
`name`/`length` (#6530).

Per op (instr, perrymaster release, base a26c45070 -> this): map.get
2868 -> 2866, fn.call 2346 -> 2343, fn.prop 686 -> 691, bind 2823 -> 2854
(still open). Class ops: static_get 1314 -> 1494, dyn_static_call
2229 -> 2311, static_call 18 -> 31, dyn_new 6545 -> 6777.
It went out of line once its class probe moved; bind reads it twice per call.
…tions rejected inline

A read of a class value that reached closure_get_dynamic_prop's class branch
(class_static_read) allocated a key string on every read: zod's libc
memmove/memcmp share rose by 11.8M instructions. The object tail and the
IC-miss closure arm now pass their key header through
(closure_get_dynamic_prop_keyed / class_closure_read_by_key), so a class
read builds no string. class_closure_id rejects an ordinary function inline:
the code-pointer compare comes before the out-of-line proof.
…he is read in place

Exact uprobe counts on a zod-shaped `new` (a constructor doing six
`this.m = this.m.bind(this)`) showed the same call graph in both arms. The
difference was per-call work: js_class_method_bind asked class_ref_id twice
for every ordinary instance (its constructor-ref check, then
class_id_from_method_receiver), and after stage 0 each ask runs the pointer
pre-filter plus a prototype-ref probe.

- class_ref_id dispatches on the tag: an INT32 word takes the legacy decoders,
  a pointer takes the class-function pre-filter only, anything else is None.
- js_class_method_bind asks once and passes the answer on
  (class_id_from_method_receiver_known).
- function_shape_inherits_from_function_prototype read its per-agent verdict
  cache with Cell::get, which copies the whole 64-entry (512-byte) array on
  every bind/call/apply. It now indexes in place.

zod-shaped `new` with six binds (instr/op, CGU14, base a26c45070 -> this):
36140 -> 36236 (was +449 before this change). bind 2825 -> 2848, fn.call
2341 -> 2314.
…d on its function object

Stage 3b. `Object.setPrototypeOf(C, proto)` / `(C, null)` on a class value
recorded the link in CLASS_STATIC_PROTOTYPES / CLASS_STATIC_PROTOTYPE_NULLED
(cid-keyed, root-scanned). It is now the class function object's recorded
[[Prototype]] in its state record ("p"), the same record every function object
uses — a traced edge, no table, no root scan. A function (including another
class) is now a valid prototype: `Object.setPrototypeOf(Q, P); Q.fromP` read
undefined before (the table refused closures).
…property

A statically lowered `C.x` reads (and `C.x = v` writes) the declared static's
`@perry_static_*` global; the runtime only kept that global in step on plain
writes. After `delete C.x` compiled code kept reading the old value, after
`Object.defineProperty(C, "y", { get })` it kept the data value (the class
kept the data slot beside the new accessor), and an attribute-only
`defineProperty(C, "z", { writable: false })` was dropped, so `C.z = 30`
still wrote.

- class_static_alias_sync runs after every mutation of a class static: the
  global holds the value while the key is a plain writable own data property
  of the class function object, and TAG_HOLE otherwise.
- StaticFieldGet: load + `== TAG_HOLE` -> js_class_static_field_get (generic
  [[Get]] on the class function object). StaticFieldSet on a detached global
  -> js_class_static_field_put (generic [[Set]]: setter, read-only refusal, or
  re-creating a deleted static, which re-attaches the alias).
- Redefining an own static data property as an accessor removes the data slot.
- An attribute-only defineProperty on an existing static keeps the omitted
  attributes (ValidateAndApplyPropertyDescriptor) and records the new ones; a
  strict [[Set]] of a read-only static throws.

test-files/test_gap_class_statics_alias.ts (== node; red on a26c45070).
…the class function object

Stage 3e of class constructors as function objects. A class's static
Symbol-keyed data properties (`static [sym] = v`, `C[sym] = v`,
`Object.defineProperty(C, sym, ...)`) were a class-id-keyed side table,
CLASS_STATIC_SYMBOLS plus CLASS_STATIC_SYMBOL_ORDER, with a GC scanner, a
sliced root slot and a forwarding rewrite of their own. They now live in the
per-object symbol store every object uses (SYMBOL_PROPERTIES, keyed by owner
address), owned by the class's pinned function object, whose address never
changes. Entries keep creation order there. Both tables, their scanner, the
ClassStaticSymbol root slot and its rewrite are deleted.

store_class_static_symbol_root, class_static_symbol_lookup and
class_static_symbol_keys_for_class keep their signatures over that store; the
latch that keeps `instanceof` off the table in symbol-free programs stays.

Behaviour fixed (node-comparison fixture test_gap_class_static_symbols.ts):
- an inherited `Sub[sym]` / `sym in Sub` reads the parent constructor's
  static symbol (class_static_symbol_lookup_in_chain); own-property checks
  stay own;
- `Object.defineProperty(C, sym, { value, enumerable: false })` records the
  attributes (omitted ones false on a new key, retained on an existing one);
- `delete C[sym]` deletes it.
On a26c45070 the fixture failed from the inherited read on and then stopped
at the defineProperty line.
…ts function object

ClassDefinitionEvaluation's SetFunctionLength / SetFunctionName: `length` and
`name` are minted into the class function object's own-property object with
it (in that order, {writable: false, enumerable: false, configurable: true}),
so `C.name` and `x.constructor.name` are one lookup in that object's shape
instead of the class-registry walk plus a fresh string per read. A static
method or accessor of the same name owns the key instead (a registration after
the object exists removes the intrinsic); a static field replaces it with
ordinary attributes; a re-registered name/length updates it.

The class read answers own data from the object first while no per-evaluation
class object exists (CLASS_OBJECT_EVER). A deleted own key now continues on
the class's [[Prototype]] (recorded prototype, parent class, parent function,
Function.prototype): `delete E.name; E.name` is "" and `delete L.length`
reads 0 as in Node (was undefined); getOwnPropertyNames drops a deleted
length/name.

zmicro (instr/op, base aca0fc8 -> this): C.name 4566 -> 856,
x.constructor.name 8459 -> 4795, factory read 1354 -> 1096.
- gc_runtime_root_holders: CLASS_STATIC_PROTOTYPES / CLASS_STATIC_PROTOTYPE_NULLED
  entries deleted (the tables went with the recorded-[[Prototype]] commit);
  PASS1_MARKED's gc/mod.rs pin re-audited and moved: the only change is the
  one class-value reg_scanner! registration (noted in its why).
- thread_exit_address_globals: CLASS_STATIC_SYMBOLS / CLASS_STATIC_SYMBOL_ORDER
  entries deleted (class static symbols are owner-keyed own symbol
  properties; the owner-keyed pass releases them).
- registry_lifetime allowlist: CLASS_STATIC_SYMBOL_ORDER deleted (gone) and
  CLASS_STATIC_DEFINED_ATTRS deleted (it now has a removal path,
  class_static_clear_defined_attrs).
- The class read's own-property probe reads the key through string_data
  (string payload-access ratchet); the intrinsic-name unit test casts its
  fn pointer through *const () (-D warnings on all targets).

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 19cbd

This change moves the class-method binding code and updates one test path, so it adds no new risk. The earlier open concerns about class-value memory growth, garbage-collection safety, and static-field write semantics still need to be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 19cbd

The change affects a broad compiler-to-runtime contract. Targeted checks support class identity, method selection, and garbage-collection behavior, and no exploitable security path was established. End-to-end security and compatibility coverage remains incomplete.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A class-value identity error could propagate through construction, property access and reflection within an agent. The supplied evidence does not establish cross-agent or external-service exposure.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Method-ID resolution fails closed to undefined, and constructor receivers do not enter the canonical instance-method lookup. The inspected binding paths establish no bypass through an attacker-supplied method ID or receiver.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The bound-method builder roots the receiver, optional private brand and new closure across allocations that may collect; class-value roots include static property bags.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Document the trusted callers and agent-ownership assumptions for class-value decoding, and verify registration and mixed-version behavior at the compiler-to-runtime boundary.

Skip static-field registration after a detached write.

If a declared static field is redefined as an accessor, this branch calls js_class_static_field_put and then rejoins the caller before js_class_register_static_field runs. Registration writes the assigned value directly to the class function object's own-property storage. Thus C.x = v can invoke the accessor setter and also replace the property value, so a later C.x read no longer has the expected accessor behavior. Branch directly to the join block after the generic setter, and keep the direct store and registration on the attached branch only. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Synchronize js_class_value with the dominance checker.

js_class_value is classified as CannotCollect, but scripts/gc_root_dominance_check.py does not include it in NONCOLLECTING. The checker states that both lists must agree. Add the missing entry.

Suggested fix
     "js_class_field_get_ic_fast",
     "js_class_field_set_ic_fast",
+    "js_class_value",
     "js_put_value_set_packed_fast",

The deferred-collection concern is not supported. class_value_mint keeps its allocation and intrinsic-property setup inside GcSuppressScope. Its Drop implementation only restores the suppression flag. The cited registry lookups use ordinary read locks, not GcRootRegistryGuard flushes.

Normalize the class ID before storing constructor [[Prototype]] state.

class_recorded_prototype_bits reads the generic-origin closure, but both writers update the closure for the supplied ID. A specialized constructor can therefore lose its Object.setPrototypeOf link during reads and clears.

Bound high class IDs before growing the dense directory.

js_class_value casts its i32 argument to u32 and calls class_value without a range check. A high ID therefore reaches class_value_slot. For an ID near 0x8000_0000, the directory grows to 16,777,216 pointer entries, or 128 MiB on 64-bit targets. Synthetic IDs also start at 0xC000_0000, and each directory regrowth leaks the previous allocation.

Keep the dense directory bounded. Route higher IDs through per-agent sparse storage. Make class_value_cached and scan_class_value_roots_mut consult the sparse storage too.

Bound the dense directory growth in class_value_slot and route class IDs above
that bound through per-agent sparse storage instead. Update class_value_cached
and scan_class_value_roots_mut to read and scan sparse entries as well,
preserving lookup and root-scanning behavior for both storage paths.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The name guard drops writes to a writable static field named name.

The early return now fires when class_static_defined_attrs(class_id, "name") is None. A static field definition clears the recorded attributes: js_class_register_static_field → note_static_field_defined → class_static_clear_defined_attrs. The class_static_clear_defined_attrs doc comment says this happens when a static field replaces the intrinsic name. The property is then an ordinary writable own data property, but its attrs entry is None.

Trigger: class C { static name = "a" }; (C as any).name = "b" or C["name"] = "b". The dynamic write reaches this branch and returns without storing. C.name stays "a". The statically lowered C.name = "b" still works, because it writes the global alias and re-registers the field. The two write paths therefore disagree.

Treat the property as writable when it is an own data property with no recorded attributes. Return only when the attributes say it is non-writable. The non-writable case can also fall through to the read-only check below, which throws the strict-mode TypeError that Node throws.

Proposed fix
                         && super::class_registry::lookup_static_method_in_chain(class_id, &name)
                             .is_none()
-                        && super::class_registry::class_static_defined_attrs(class_id, &name)
-                            .is_none_or(|(writable, _, _)| !writable)
+                        && crate::object::class_value::class_static_get(class_id, &name).is_none()
                     {
                         return;
                     }

With this change, an intrinsic name has own data and recorded non-writable attributes. It then reaches the existing read-only branch at lines 507-518.

Update the static `name` write guard using `class_static_defined_attrs` so
missing attributes do not make an existing own data property unwritable; allow

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

value_field is unrooted across new allocating calls before it is stored.

Line 907 reads value_field from the descriptor as a raw JSValue. The new code at line 909 then calls desc_has_field(descriptor_value, b"value"). That call allocates a field-name string and can run a HasProperty walk. The new code at lines 914-927 also calls class_own_static_field_value, which can mint the class function object. Any of these allocations can start an evacuating collection. value_field is a young heap object in the common case, for example Object.defineProperty(C, "x", { value: {} }). After such a collection, class_dynamic_prop_root_store at line 952 stores a from-space pointer into the class function object's property bag. Later reads then return a dangling reference.

Before this change, no allocation ran between the read and the !value_field.is_undefined() store path. The rest of this function uses scope roots for exactly this reason (#7963). Root the value right after the read, and re-read it at the store. Another option is to compute has_value and existing_static before the js_object_get_field_by_name read.

Proposed fix
                     let value_field =
                         js_object_get_field_by_name(desc_ptr as *const ObjectHeader, value_key);
+                    let value_slot = scope.root_nanbox_u64(value_field.bits());
                     let descriptor_value = desc_handle.get_nanbox_f64();
                     let has_value = desc_has_field(descriptor_value, b"value");
@@
                             if has_value || existing_static.is_none() {
                                 super::super::class_registry::class_dynamic_prop_root_store(
                                     target_cid,
                                     &name,
-                                    f64::from_bits(value_field.bits()),
+                                    f64::from_bits(value_slot.get_nanbox_u64()),
                                 );
                             }

The prototype branch passes value_field.bits() to define_class_prototype_method after descriptor_enumerable allocates. Use value_slot.get_nanbox_u64() there too.

This follows the retrieved learning: callers must root every live NaN-boxed value in a GC handle scope before calling a function that can collect, and must re-derive the value afterward.

…re array from a root

RefreshClassExprCaptures allocated the capture array, then lowered each capture
and pushed it, passing the js_array_alloc register to every js_array_push_f64.
A capture can collect (an IC-miss property read, a getter), so a moving minor
between the allocation and a push handed the push a from-space array.
gc-root-dominance --stale-registers found it on #11609's
test_gap_class_value_reflection.ts (source=alloc -> sink=js_array_push_f64),
the third use against the curated budget of 2.

The array now lives in a temp root (rooting::call_rooted): each push re-reads
it there (Arg::Root), each intermediate push result is rooted in turn, and only
the last push's result becomes a register, after the last capture. The slots
are released with one stack cut on every path out. No new table.

Curated corpus: --stale-registers --moving-only back to 2 (main's two
InOrder.run uses). New codegen test
class_expr_capture_refresh_rereads_its_capture_array_below_each_capture is red
with the old lowering.
crates/perry-codegen/src/gc_call_effects.rs conflicted with #11565 (S1),
which replaced the hand-kept CannotCollect allowlist with generated
per-target tables in crates/perry-codegen/src/gc_effects/*.tsv. Took
main's version wholesale.

This PR's own edit to that file (classifying js_class_value as
CannotCollect) is now obsolete: the symbol is covered by the generated
tables once CI regenerates them against archives that include it.

…alue root

A class function object is born old and PINNED, and marking never queues a
pinned header ("pinned objects are always live"), so no collector ever
enumerated its child slots from its root in CLASS_VALUES. Minors reached the
own-property bag through the remembered set the bag_ensure barrier dirtied,
but a full trace never visited the bag: the shape the bag carries was never
noted as carried, post-trace descriptor retirement dropped it, and every
static of the class read back as absent (the forced-evacuation
class-static-computed-field case of the #6943 suite).

The class-value root scan now visits the `props` edge of each class function
object as a root slot of its own: a full trace marks and traces the bag, and a
moving collection rewrites the edge. No new table.

Regression: class_value::tests::a_full_collection_keeps_the_class_statics_bag
(red without the edge visit).
native_module.rs was 2006 lines, over the 2000-line cap. The class-method
binding block (js_class_method_bind, its snapshot and by-id forms, the
test hooks, and the private-brand-aware builder they share) moves to
native_module/class_method_bind.rs; native_module.rs re-exports it, so every
path is unchanged. The LTO keepalive-anchor test reads the new file for
KEEP_CLASS_METHOD_BIND_BY_ID.
