feat(runtime): tombstone object deletes default-on (populated delete 6.5x) - #9038
Conversation
The mechanism shipped flag-gated in PerryTS#9029 with its default-on prerequisites already done: the 57-file walker audit (four flag-on bugs found and fixed, including a JSON shape-template SIGSEGV and the hole-count accounting reset), the churn-bound test pinning the 2x-live-size memory guarantee, and six fixtures byte-identical to node in both flag states. This flips the default and keeps PERRY_OBJECT_TOMBSTONES=0 as the kill switch, the same rollout pattern as the moving scavenge (PERRY_GC_MOVING_LOOP_POLLS=0). bench_populated_delete: 2030 -> ~315 ms (6.5x main, ~15x node); combined overwrite and realistic-name read unchanged; ordinary deletes keep the complete-index absence win from PerryTS#9029 either way.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughTombstone deletes are enabled by default. Shape publication preserves hole counts through object growth and re-add operations. JSON, V8, thread, and diagnostic paths skip tombstoned keys. Tests cover serialization safety, transfer guards, and compaction bounds. ChangesObject Tombstone Delete Behavior
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Default-on tombstone deletion improves populated deletes while retaining a kill switch, but the current change still has a shape-accounting path that can let repeated delete/re-add churn grow object metadata beyond the intended bound, and cross-thread transfer may omit a live overflow property after an interior delete. These are concrete correctness and resource risks, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

…ole accounting Full-surface audit of every fn touching keys arrays (57 files), the default-on prerequisite. Three flag-on walker bugs and one accounting bug, each with a pinning test or a coupled fix: - JSON shape-prefix template dereferenced a hole's bits as a StringHeader: SIGSEGV on JSON.stringify of an array of holed class_id-0 objects. The differentials could not see it — their objects carried __AnonShape class ids or cache-shared keys, so the template never engaged. Holed shapes now bail to the hole-aware slow path. - The worker-thread serializer pairs keys and fields positionally; a hole became a phantom empty-string key on the worker. The serializer now skips the pair, matching node's postMessage of an object with deleted keys. - diagnostics_channel's error-prop walk stringified the canonicalized hole into a phantom "undefined" prop; undefined is never a legal key. - The two lineage-carrying shape publishes hardcoded hole_count 0, so a re-add append RESET the squeeze accounting: delete/re-add churn never squeezed and grew the keys array without bound — a pure memory leak the timing gates cannot see. They now carry lineage.hole_count; only the squeeze itself publishes 0. Pinned by a 60-cycle churn test asserting the 2x-live-size bound, plus a structured-clone round-trip and a template survival test. The tests opt in via a thread-local flag override because the env OnceLock latches at the suite's first unrelated delete. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ay8VyLkKbm8Hkc1xmvTEsP
- shapes.rs: the census pins the parity asserts and the mint-then-stamp sabotage fixture to this file — return them, retarget the fixture at the _with_holes mint, and move the two cfg(test) keys-slot helpers to shapes_slot_list instead (keys_slot re-export split: owns_keys_slot is production code, descriptor_keys_slot is test-only). - thread.rs: inline transfer_guard_tests module extracted to thread_transfer_guard_tests.rs (same #[path] pattern as its sibling). - object/tests.rs: the three tombstone pins split into object/tombstone_tests.rs. No behavior change; 2807 tests, fmt/census/class-id/file-size green. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Ay8VyLkKbm8Hkc1xmvTEsP

Heads-up on a merge race, now recovered on this branch. #9029 was squash-merged from the branch state before my second-round push, so main is missing the walker-audit round: the JSON shape-template SIGSEGV fix, the worker-thread phantom- Those three commits are now cherry-picked onto this branch ( If you'd rather land the audit fixes separately from the flip, say so and I'll split them out — but note the SIGSEGV fix is live-relevant even flag-off-by-default today, since |

Merged. Flipping a default that changes object-delete semantics globally is the highest-stakes thing in this series, so I checked the readiness claim rather than the mechanism (which I audited in #9029). One correction to the description. It says "the default-on prerequisites shipped inside #9029 itself — the 57-file walker audit (four flag-on-only bugs found and fixed…)". They did not: the JSON shape-template fix, the Verified independently rather than taking the audit's word for it:
Byte-identical to node in BOTH directions — default-on and The The strongest signal is that the full runtime suite now runs with tombstones live — 2807 passed / 0 failed, so every delete-touching test exercises the new path rather than the flag-off one. Renumbered the fragment

…top corrupting state (#9019) (#9066) * fix(runtime): reserve iterator raw-field floor so own next patches stop corrupting state (#9019) A by-name property write on a builtin collection iterator object derived its field index from the (empty) keys array, so the first user property landed at field 0 and overwrote the backing-collection pointer. it.foo = 1 made iteration report done immediately; it.next = fn made the next builtin advance dereference the closure as a SetHeader and SIGSEGV under for...of. Storage: the first by-name append to a reserved-layout receiver (array/ map/set/string/buffer/regexp iterators, iterator helpers) now seeds the keys array with floor leading tombstones (the #9038 hole marker every lookup/enumeration/delete path already skips), so user keys append past the raw internal fields; the hole-squeeze compaction preserves the reserved prefix. Dispatch: the class-id iterator dispatchers honor an own next before the builtin advance (non-callable own values throw per IteratorNext), while the canonical prototype thunks keep running the builtin algorithm so a patch delegating to its bound original cannot re-enter itself. The fused for...of arms validate the iterator result, and the stored-closure drain paths bind this to the iterator per Call(next, iterator). * docs: changelog fragment for #9066 * refactor(runtime): keep the reserved-floor seed out of the raw-handle ledger NaN-boxed handles in ensure_reserved_floor_keys and the existing refresh_roots_after_alloc macro (moved above the seed hook) in the by-name tail, so scripts/raw_handle_debt.py stays within its ceilings. * fix(runtime): close the defineProperty and entry-lane append surfaces for reserved floors (#9019) ensure_key_in_keys_array (the accessor-define keys claim) seeds the reserved floor before its keys-null create arm, and the entry-lane transition cache declines reserved-layout class ids so an unseeded iterator can never receive a foreign sub-floor slot from an edge minted by another keyless family sharing its birth ShapeId. * fix(runtime): restore the regex-engine cfg the new export took Inserting `pub(crate) use match_all::dispatch_regexp_string_iterator_method_builtin` between the existing `#[cfg(feature = "regex-engine")]` and the `pub use` below it moved the attribute onto the NEW line, leaving the original export ungated. With the feature off, `perry-runtime` then names a module that does not exist: error[E0432]: unresolved import `match_all` It passes `cargo test -p perry-runtime --lib` (default features on) and fails `cargo check -p perry`, which is why it was invisible to the crate-level run. Same attribute-stealing shape as the doc comments repaired in #9013 and #9030 — an inserted line silently inherits the attribute or doc block above it. --------- Co-authored-by: Ralph Küpper <ralph@skelpo.com>

Flips #9029's flag to ON;
PERRY_OBJECT_TOMBSTONES=0becomes the kill switch (the moving-scavenge rollout pattern). No mechanism changes — this PR is the flip, the changelog, and the validation ladder.Why it's ready: the default-on prerequisites shipped inside #9029 itself — the 57-file walker audit (four flag-on-only bugs found and fixed: JSON shape-template SIGSEGV, phantom worker-thread
""keys, phantom diagnostics"undefined"prop, and the hole-count accounting reset that let delete/re-add churn dodge the squeeze bound), the 60-cycle churn test pinning the 2x-live-size memory bound, and the differential battery byte-identical to node in both flag states.Numbers (shared Linux box, interleaved min-of-7 vs exact main tip): populated delete 2030 → ~315 ms (6.5x; ~15x node from ~96x pre-campaign); combined overwrite 27 → 27; realistic-name read 17 → 17. Flag-off deletes keep #9029's −11%.
Validation on this branch: full runtime suite (2805) runs with the new default, so every delete-touching test now exercises tombstones; fmt/census/class-id/file-size green; server re-run of all six fixtures in BOTH directions (default-on and kill-switch) vs node refs posted below.
