Coop's Next.js App Route fixture died at module init on every main since
0.5.1519 with `ReferenceError: Must call super constructor in derived class
before accessing 'this' or returning from derived constructor`, thrown from
`AppRouteRouteModule`'s standalone constructor on `new w.AppRouteRouteModule({…})`.
`synthesize_class_captures` stashes every captured outer local onto the
instance (`this.__perry_cap_<id> = param`) right after `super()`, so a method
the constructor calls can read it (#5437). It located `super()` only as a
top-level `Stmt::Expr(SuperCall)`. The minifier folds the call into a comma
sequence — `super({…}), this.workUnitAsyncStorage = …, …` — so the search
missed, and the early stashes fell back to constructor ENTRY, before
`super()`. That was a silent write onto the pre-allocated receiver until
905017b (#8643, class semantics tail) added the spec derived-`this` TDZ
check (`DERIVED_SUPER_BINDING_STACK`, `check_derived_this_initialized`),
after which every construction throws. 0.5.1516 loads the fixture; every
build from #8643 on fails, masked between #8643 and #8892 by the nameless
`ReferenceError: identifier is not defined` (#8882) that killed init earlier.
The per-image class registries (#8893) and the TRE budget (#8894) are not
involved: the failure reproduces in a single-image native executable and in
a ten-line program on `77b994f6b`+#8892.
The early stash now goes after the statement that completes `super()`,
whatever shape the call takes: a `super();` statement (as before); a comma
sequence that starts with `super(…)`, which is split so the stash sits
between the call and the remaining operands (sound: a statement discards
the sequence's value and the operands still run in order); or, for a call
nested anywhere else (`if (super(), …)`, `try { super() }`, `_this =
super()`), after that whole statement. A derived body with no direct
`super()` at all gets no early stash — `this` is never known to be bound —
and keeps the end-of-body / before-`return` stashes.
Tests: `perry-hir` unit tests lower the comma-sequence and `if`-test shapes
with a captured outer and assert the first `this.__perry_cap_*` stash follows
the `SuperCall` (both fail before the fix); a native e2e test constructs the
Next shape through the runtime `new ns.Class(…)` path, the p-queue `if`
shape, and the plain-statement shape (early stash still feeds a method
called from the constructor).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Place the early stash at the nested super() execution point.
early_capture_stash_slot returns the position after the enclosing top-level statement. For if (flag) { super(); this.value = this.read(); }, read() runs after super() but before the stash. Its capture field is unset, so it can read the stale declaration snapshot instead of the constructor's live capture parameter. return super() also remains invalid because the before-return stash accesses this before the return expression evaluates super().

Do not use an enclosing-statement boundary for this case.crates/perry-hir/src/lower_decl/class_captures.rs#L681-L681: excludereturn super()from this insertion path, or transform it sosuper()completes before any generatedthisaccess.crates/perry-hir/src/lower/tests.rs#L1707-L1744: assert recursive ordering for a branch that invokes a captured instance method immediately aftersuper().crates/perry/tests/derived_ctor_capture_stash_after_super.rs#L95-L121: add an end-to-end fixture where a nested branch calls such a method aftersuper()and after the captured outer value changes.

Regression
Coop's Next.js App Route fixture (a
next build --webpackbundle compiled by Perry and loaded by Coop's daemon) fails at module init on everymainsince 0.5.1519 — for a single application, so this is not the multi-image bug of #8546:Native backtrace (fixture compiled to an executable with symbols kept): the throw is in
app-route.runtime.prod.js::rW_constructor—AppRouteRouteModule's standalone constructor — reached fromroute.jsmodule init throughjs_new_function_construct → construct_registered_class_ref → replay_registered_class_constructor(new w.AppRouteRouteModule({…})). The firstthisTDZ check in that constructor fires: athis.__perry_cap_* = paramfield write is emitted at constructor entry, beforesuper({…}).Regressing commit and mechanism
905017b (#8643, class semantics tail) — inside 0.5.1516..0.5.1519 — added the spec derived-
thisTDZ (DERIVED_SUPER_BINDING_STACK,check_derived_this_initialized). It exposed a latent bug insynthesize_class_captures(crates/perry-hir/src/lower_decl/class_captures.rs): the early capture stash (this.__perry_cap_<id> = param, needed so a method called from the constructor can read a captured outer, #5437) is placed aftersuper()only when the call is its own top-levelStmt::Expr(SuperCall). The minifier writessuper({…}), this.workUnitAsyncStorage = …, …(one comma-sequence statement), so the search missed and the stash landed at constructor entry. Before #8643 that was a silent write onto the pre-allocated receiver; after it, every construction of such a class throws.Why it looked like a

The early stash now goes after the statement that completes
super(), whatever shape the call takes (early_capture_stash_slot):super(…);as its own statement — right after it (unchanged);super(…)— the sequence is split so the call becomes its own statement and the stash sits between the call and the remaining operands (sound: a statement discards the sequence's value and the operands still run in order);super(…)(if (super(), …)— p-queue's shape in the same bundle —try { super() },_this = super()) — right after that whole statement;super()at all (closure-called super / value-bearingreturn) gets no early stash, sincethisis never known to be bound; the end-of-body and before-returnstashes are untouched.Base classes keep the entry stash exactly as before.
