…ry entry
Three hot paths answered "what does THIS owner have?" by walking every
descriptor in the process and filtering on the owner address:
* js_object_keys' array branch, twice (enumeration.rs) — a full
property_descriptors walk per enumeration, just to decide whether a
per-index enumerable check was needed;
* accessor_descriptor_keys_for_obj, on the own-keys path;
* transfer_descriptor_owner, on every ArrayHeader growth;
* scan_descriptor_roots_mut, on EVERY GC cycle — so since the moving
young-gen scavenge became default (PerryTS#7019) this was a per-collection
tax proportional to the whole program's descriptor count rather than
to what actually moved.
Profiling `claude -p` put 46.6% of main-thread samples in
shapes/descriptors, with a HashMap Keys iteration the single hottest
self-time entry by 4x over anything else.
DescriptorTables now carries attr_keys_by_owner / accessor_keys_by_owner
mirroring the two (owner, key) maps, so each of those becomes a lookup.
The maps stay authoritative; the index is a mirror, and the tests assert
that invariant directly (index == what a full scan would return) across
install, redefine, delete, bulk-clear and owner transfer, because the
failure mode of a mirror is silent drift, not a crash.
Also fixes a pre-existing correctness bug the new tests caught:
transfer_descriptor_owner moved descriptors to the new address but never
carried the per-object Bloom summary. A freshly grown array has a null
meta, for which owner_may_have_descriptor_entries answers false
AUTHORITATIVELY — so after an array grew, Object.keys and
getOwnPropertyDescriptor silently lost every accessor it had. That was
equally true before this change: the gate sat in front of the old scan,
so the scan never ran for the new owner.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Make the duplicate check O(1) instead of scanning the owner's key list.
owner_index_add compares key against every key already recorded for owner. Each install on the same owner therefore costs O(existing keys). mark_all_keys (Line 1089) calls set_property_attrs once per key for up to 65536 keys of one object, so Object.freeze / Object.seal on a large object becomes O(k²) string comparisons. The previous code paid O(1) per install.
The table already knows whether the key is new: HashMap::insert returns the previous value. Push into the index only when the insert reports a new key.
♻️ Proposed fix: derive index insertion from the table insert
-/// Record `key` as owned by `owner` in an owner index. Idempotent: a
-/// `defineProperty` that overwrites an existing descriptor must not push a
-/// duplicate, or the key would be reported twice by `Object.keys`.
-fn owner_index_add(index: &RefCell<FastKeyHashMap<usize, Vec<String>>>, owner: usize, key: &str) {
- let mut idx = index.borrow_mut();
- let keys = idx.entry(owner).or_default();
- if !keys.iter().any(|k| k == key) {
- keys.push(key.to_string());
- }
-}
+/// Record `key` as owned by `owner` in an owner index. Call this only when the
+/// mirrored table reports the key as newly inserted, so a `defineProperty`
+/// that overwrites an existing descriptor cannot push a duplicate — a
+/// duplicate would make `Object.keys` report the key twice.
+fn owner_index_add(index: &RefCell<FastKeyHashMap<usize, Vec<String>>>, owner: usize, key: &str) {
+ index
+ .borrow_mut()
+ .entry(owner)
+ .or_default()
+ .push(key.to_string());
+}Then gate the call on the table insert, for example in set_property_attrs:
- owner_index_add(&st.descriptors.attr_keys_by_owner, obj, &key);
- st.descriptors
- .property_descriptors
- .borrow_mut()
- .insert((obj, key), attrs);
+ let is_new = st
+ .descriptors
+ .property_descriptors
+ .borrow_mut()
+ .insert((obj, key.clone()), attrs)
+ .is_none();
+ if is_new {
+ owner_index_add(&st.descriptors.attr_keys_by_owner, obj, &key);
+ }Apply the same shape to set_accessor_descriptor, set_builtin_accessor_descriptor, and set_builtin_property_attrs. Keep the existing "no duplicate on redefine" test as the regression guard.

Synchronize owner indexes on direct descriptor removal. handle_expando.rs, define_property.rs, and array_object_ops.rs remove descriptor entries without owner_index_remove. accessor_descriptor_keys_for_obj reads the owner index directly, so a deleted accessor can remain visible through the Object.keys and getOwnPropertyNames paths. Use the clear_* helpers or update the matching index.

The `lint` job failed on four gates that the PR's own changes tripped:
- changelog: add the `changelog.d/8872-*` fragment for the crates/ changes.
- file size: `array/indexing.rs` reached 2,024 lines after the resolved-store
work; move the transactional `js_array_numeric_range_add*` kernel (a block
with no raw-handle or address-classification debt, so no per-module ratchet
ceiling moves) into `array/numeric_range.rs`.
- local-binding-type audit: classify the synthetic `arguments.length` marker
read in `property_get.rs::lower` (runtime-validated: the marker type exists
only in direct-call-only clones whose caller materialized the count).
- GC store-site inventory: register `store_array_slot_resolved` as a
chain-verified discharge helper for the three BARRIERED markers that now
lean on it, mark its own resolved slot write, and pin the second `apush`
codegen marker (the unconditional element store inside
`emit_dynamic_pointer_push_store`, barriered by the same stem) with the
self-test tree updated to match.
Every step of the lint job was replayed locally, including the raw-handle and
unrooted-local ratchets against the merge base d354443.

…-mutation Second merge round after the PerryTS#8872/PerryTS#8875/PerryTS#8877 batch landed. Conflicts and their resolutions: - codegen/method.rs: keep this branch's guarded-falsy/index/pshape-arg clone handling and add main's `!arguments_length_clone` exclusions. - expr/property_get.rs: keep both the Symbol-then-named-field IC dispatch (ours) and main's synthetic `arguments.length` fast path. - property_get/generic_dispatch.rs: main's native Map/Set `size` split ahead of the object PIC, with this branch's `is_object_kind` naming. - lower_call/method_override.rs: `direct_call_fn` (main, argument-length clone) is consulted first, then the pshape+index clone (ours); the two are mutually exclusive by construction. - array/element_shape.rs: adopt main's demand-driven proofs (no eager `establish` on the first store) inside this branch's `note_element_store_with_bit` / `_resolved_flags` split; the now-unused `element_identity_of_bits` goes with it, and the renamed `pushes_do_not_create_an_unrequested_element_shape_proof` test replaces the eager-establishment one. - array/header_gc_slots.rs + mod.rs: keep both resolved-head store helpers (`note_array_slot_resolved_flags` ours, `store_array_slot_resolved` main). - array/push_pop.rs: `js_array_push_f64_resolved` now stores through main's `store_array_slot_resolved`. - array/indexing.rs: the strict setter keeps this branch's dense fast path first, then main's resolved-head strict path; main moved the numeric-range helpers into `array/numeric_range.rs` (byte-identical bodies), so the in-file copies and their keepalive anchors are dropped; main's fused strict store in `js_array_set_index_or_string_strict` is ported into `indexing_keyed.rs`. - expr/index_get_claim_tests.rs: union of imports/constants and both test sets (main's canonical-i32 split tier and this branch's `Any`-key tier are complementary arms). - lower_call/property_get/dynamic_dispatch.rs grew past the 2,000-line gate; the tower-of-pshape routing moved to `dynamic_dispatch_tower.rs`. Verified locally: fmt; perry-codegen and perry-runtime lib + test targets build warning-free; both suites green; file-size, GC store-site, addr-class, raw-handle, shape-descriptor census, binding and architecture audits pass.
