fix(codegen): keep imported class shapes canonical

[proggeramlug]

Summary

• keep imported class stubs on the canonical structural ShapeId instead of inferring a typed identity from a missing constructor body
• validate the typed GC layout after the defining module's real constructor returns
• preserve at-allocation layout declarations for a real local class that shadows same-named import metadata

Root cause

An imported HIR stub carries field names and types, but deliberately has no defining constructor body. Codegen treated that absent body as enough evidence to declare a typed layout before construction.

That could give one runtime class two exact identities: the producer initialized js_object_shape_id_for_keys, while a consumer allocating the imported class initialized js_gc_typed_shape_id_for_keys. Exact method guards emitted in the producer then rejected every consumer-created instance even though the class id and keys agreed. In the ECS reproducer, the expected ShapeId was 0x80000ac4 and the consumer instance carried 0x80000ad3.

The conservative fix does not export or guess new proof. Imported stubs use the structural identity and retain the existing post-constructor js_gc_init_typed_shape_layout validation. A future zero-overhead path can export producer-authored constructor/layout proof explicitly.

Tests

• cargo test --release -p perry-codegen --lib — 1,125 passed
• cargo test --release -p perry-codegen --test typed_shape_declared_at_allocation — 9 passed
• focused typed-shape bake tests — 5 passed, including imported-stub and local-shadow negative controls
• cargo fmt --all -- --check
• complete upstream ECS functional corpus with the accepted prototype stack — 35/37 files and 461/463 cases, matching the established Perry baseline (only the known singleton shorthand and Symbol.dispose mismatches)

The final formatting-only commit repairs the PIC test formatting already carried by #8573; current main fails cargo fmt --all -- --check without it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved handling of imported classes to ensure their runtime layouts are validated using the producer’s canonical structural information.
  • Prevented incorrect or premature layout declarations for imported, pointer-bearing classes.
  • Preserved existing layout behavior for locally defined classes, including cases where local definitions share names with imported metadata.

• Tests

  • Added regression coverage for imported-class layout handling and local-class shadowing scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Imported class stubs now avoid consumer-derived typed layouts. Local classes retain allocation-time layout derivation. Imported layouts use canonical structural ShapeIds and validate after construction. Regression tests cover local shadowing and cross-module pointer-bearing classes.

Changes

Imported typed-layout ownership

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Handle imported layout identity crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/mod.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/typed_shape_init.rs	Header-image generation assigns InlineTypedLayout::None to imported class stubs. Allocation-time initialization routes imported classes without constructor metadata to post-construction validation.
Validate cross-module layout behavior crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/typed_shape_bake_tests.rs	Regression tests verify local-class shadowing and canonical structural ShapeId reuse for imported pointer-bearing classes. The tests also verify that consumer-local typed ShapeId values and early per-instance declarations are absent.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 251d3

The change keeps imported class allocations on canonical structural identities and validates typed layouts after construction; supplied checks pass, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains. The remaining follow-up is limited to strengthening one ordering assertion.

Assert constructor-to-validation order.

The test checks that both calls exist. It does not prove that js_gc_init_typed_shape_layout runs after the producer_ts__Remote_constructor call. A validation call before the constructor returns would pass this test and violate the imported-layout contract. Assert the emitted constructor invocation precedes the layout-init invocation.

Merging as a validated batch of three, stacked on current main.

check	result
cargo check --workspace --all-targets	exit 0
check_file_size · workspace_architecture · raw_handle_debt	0 · 0 · 0
check_gc_scanner_latches · gc_runtime_root_holders · check_test_registration	0 · 0 · 0
cargo fmt --all -- --check	0

Ratchets re-run against the current baseline immediately before merging, and fmt included — I broke main on both of those this session by validating one dimension and missing an orthogonal one.

#8577 and #8578 are worth reading together. Both are ShapeId-identity fixes surfaced by the same ECS reproducer, and both concern the exact method guards that #8505 (canonical-shape dispatch) and #8560 (PIC descriptor gate) introduced or narrowed. Each has a concrete failing identity rather than a hand-wave — 0x80000ac4 expected against 0x80000ad3 observed for the imported-class case, and a prototype spill training a live width of 33 for an eight-field class in the other. Two different routes to the same symptom: an instance born with a ShapeId the compiler-published guard can never match, so the guard silently never fires.

That is the failure mode those guards are most exposed to, and it argues for treating exact-ShapeId guards as a class that needs adversarial fixtures rather than per-bug fixes.

Mechanical fixes applied while staging (fork PRs, so they could not be pushed to the branches): dropped #8576's version bump — the maintainer bumps at merge time — and wrote the missing changelog fragments for #8577 and #8578.
