Addresses PerryTS#8619 for the typed-array PARAMETER case. A function that folds a spec-ABI-proven typed-array parameter into an accumulator (`let x = arr[i] + 1.0; s = s + x`) kept its numeric locals `x` and `s` as NaN-boxed GC roots with a per-write `js_write_barrier_root_nanbox`, and lowered `s`'s update to the opaque `js_dynamic_string_or_number_add` instead of an inline `fadd` — even though every value is a genuine Number. Root cause: the `number_by_construction` fixpoint's `numeric_view_value_or_undefined` (collectors/ptr_shape_numeric.rs) recognised a typed-array element read as "Number-or-undefined, never a pointer" only for a LOCAL view with a compiler-visible `TypedArrayNew` init — not for a spec-proven `TaPtr` parameter. So the fresh, read-derived `x` failed the numeric proof, which cascaded to the loop-carried accumulator `s = s + x`. Fix: the fixpoint now also treats a read off a `spec_ta_lens` binding as Number-or-undefined. `spec_ta_lens` is keyed exactly by `SpecParamRep::TaPtr` parameters, and `collectors::spec_abi_sites` admits a `TaPtr` only for `spec_ta_kind_is_numeric` kinds (the BigInt typed arrays are never `TaPtr`), so `arr[numeric_index]` off one is provably a Number in-bounds and `undefined` out of range, which `+` launders into a genuine Number (NaN at worst). The `rec(index)` guard is retained: a non-numeric key reads a property, which can be a pointer. Soundness rests on the entry contract, not the erased annotation, so a reassigned or unproven receiver is untouched. Measured on a 200000x4096 Float64Array reduction passed by parameter: the accumulator's per-iteration dynamic add + root barrier become a single `fadd` in a raw double slot — ~5x faster (5.1-7.3s -> ~1.0s), byte-identical output to the rooted build under every moving-GC configuration and to Node. Tests: unit (perry-codegen) `spec_ta_param_view_admits_read_derived_number_locals` and `ta_read_without_spec_proof_stays_dynamic` prove the fix is load-bearing; integration (perry) `gc_ta_view_accumulator_unroot_8619` is a rooted-vs-fix differential across the moving-GC matrix, covering Float64Array/Int32Array kinds and OOB/negative indices. Not covered: the issue's module-global reproducer — on main that read is still a runtime call (module-global read inlining, PerryTS#8617, is unmerged), so its rooting is a secondary cost; extending the same proof to `module_global_proven_types` is the follow-up once the read inlines.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Clear PERRY_GEN_GC_EVACUATE before each collector arm.
An inherited PERRY_GEN_GC_EVACUATE value can disable or alter evacuation for every child process. The test can then pass without exercising the relocation-sensitive condition that this regression test must cover.

… GC fixture (#8628) * perf(codegen): raise root-spill default to the measured fan-out cliff (#8620) `DEFAULT_ROOT_SPILL_RELOCATIONS` was 4,000,000, low enough to spill moderate-fan-out functions whose native RS4GC statepoints would have optimized fine. On an ~8M-relocation entry function, spilling to the shadow frame was *slower* than the fan-out it replaced (#8620), so the default paid shadow-frame overhead for nothing. Measured the RS4GC fan-out cliff with synthetic entry functions compiled at -Os with spilling OFF (`PERRY_ROOT_SPILL_RELOCATIONS=0`), timing the `@main` codegen unit: 8.0M -> ~325 s (finished) 16.0M -> ~235 s (finished) 32.0M -> ~511 s / 8.5 min (finished) 40.0M -> did not finish in 20 min 48.0M -> did not finish in 20 min Fan-out finishes in bounded time up to 32M and does not past 40M, so the default is raised to 32,000,000 — the largest estimate whose fan-out still finished. Below it fan-out is the cheaper lowering; above it fan-out risks not finishing and the shadow frame wins. The change is compile-time only (spilled `main` is run-once init) and is backstopped by the post-RS4GC instruction-budget assertion (#8586), which fails loudly rather than hanging if a function this estimate misses still fans out. Pins the new default in a unit test.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HHAsEkP5A9Y5rGx6kprJ9j * fix(compile): --report-size duplicate-body false positives + overclaimed size Two accuracy fixes to the report enrichment from #8579, both found by testing against a live compiled binary rather than trusting the code: - Duplicate function/static-data body detection keyed on an FNV-1a hash + size check. CodeRabbit correctly flagged that a hash collision at the same size could fabricate a false duplicate. Fixed properly rather than reworded: key directly on the exact byte slice (&[u8] is Ord) instead of hashing it, which is exact by construction and no more expensive to implement. - The "duplicate crate instance" finding's first draft claimed its total_bytes were recoverable shipped-binary size. Verified directly (md5 + objdump on the extracted archive members from a real compiled program) that perry-runtime and perry-stdlib DO redundantly compile some shared dependencies (gimli, confirmed byte-identical across their two separate .a archives) -- but a successful link only pulls ONE physical copy per symbol (a linker errors on true duplicate- symbol inclusion), so every byte attributed is real, in-use code in the shipped binary, not a duplicate sitting in it twice. Renamed duplicate_crate_versions -> duplicate_crate_instances in the JSON schema (unreleased, so free to fix) and set estimated_bytes to 0 for this finding so it can't misrank against suggestions that genuinely shrink the shipped binary. The report and suggestion text now say this is a compile-time/archive-size finding explicitly, instead of overclaiming a shipped-binary-size win that isn't there. * chore(merge): PR-key #8625's changelog fragment; drop #8627's version bump Fragments are PR-keyed so in-flight PRs never collide; 8619 is the issue. The version bump is the maintainer's at merge time. Stacks #8623, #8625, #8627. * test(gc): make the #8619 differential fixture actually relocate The fixture measured copied_objects=0 with a single GC cycle: `keep` pushed unboxed numbers, so the nursery never filled and the collector never moved anything. The differential still compared arithmetic, but as a GC test it could not fail for the reason it exists. Push a fresh object per iteration instead (~100 copied objects per cycle over ~600 cycles), and assert the two arms lower differently so a fixpoint that stops firing cannot make the comparison vacuous. Verified on a #8625-bearing release build: 14 runs across default, SCAVENGE_NURSERY_MB=1/2/4, GEN_GC=0, FORCE_EVACUATE=1 and VERIFY_EVACUATION=1 all agree at acc:34378500, matching the node oracle. --------- Co-authored-by: Ralph Küpper <ralph@skelpo.com> Co-authored-by: John-David Dalton <jdalton@socket.dev>

Summary
Addresses #8619 for the typed-array parameter case. A function that folds a spec-ABI-proven typed-array parameter into an accumulator —
function reduce(arr: Float64Array) { let s = 0.0; for (…) { let x = arr[i] + 1.0; s = s + x; } }— kept its numeric localsxandsas NaN-boxed GC roots with a per-writejs_write_barrier_root_nanbox, and lowereds's update to the opaquejs_dynamic_string_or_number_addinstead of an inlinefadd— even though every value is a genuine Number.Root cause
The
number_by_constructionfixpoint'snumeric_view_value_or_undefined(collectors/ptr_shape_numeric.rs) recognised a typed-array element read as "a Number orundefined, never a pointer" only for a LOCAL view with a compiler-visibleTypedArrayNewinitializer — not for a spec-provenTaPtrparameter. So the fresh, read-derivedxfailed the numeric proof, which cascaded to the loop-carried accumulators = s + x. Both then kept a shadow root slot (retyped toalloca ptr addrspace(1)), ands's add stayed the dynamic helper.Fix
The fixpoint now also treats a read off a
spec_ta_lensbinding as Number-or-undefined.spec_ta_lensis keyed exactly bySpecParamRep::TaPtrparameters, andcollectors::spec_abi_sitesadmits aTaPtronly forspec_ta_kind_is_numerickinds (the BigInt typed arrays — whose elements are BigInt pointers — are neverTaPtr), soarr[numeric_index]off one is provably a Number in-bounds andundefinedout of range, which+launders into a genuine Number (NaNat worst). Therec(index)guard is retained — a non-numeric key would read a property, which can be a pointer.Soundness
TaPtrparams — the entry contract binds the raw header of a proven numeric, non-view, never-reassigned typed array. Never trusts the erasedFloat64Arrayannotation.spec_ta_kind_is_numeric).rec(index).PERRY_NUMBER_BY_CONSTRUCTION=0) under every moving-GC configuration (PERRY_GC_SCAVENGE_NURSERY_MB=1/2/4,PERRY_GEN_GC=0, default) and vs Node.Measured
