…ated) blocks (PerryTS#8583) When a sub-expression provably diverges — a throwing operand (e.g. a captured TDZ access or const-reassignment) emits `js_throw_error_with_code` + `unreachable` — the current block is terminated. `LlBlock` silently drops any instruction emitted after a terminator (block.rs), so the setup instructions for the surrounding operation are discarded; but block-creating lowerings still emit fresh blocks that reference those dropped `%rN` registers, which the dialect builder rejects with "register %rN used but never defined" (dialect/mod.rs). The whole surrounding operation is unreachable on that path, so the fix is to emit nothing once the block is terminated. Two sites hit this in the Claude Code 2.1.112 bundle (both dead code after a proven-throwing operand): `lower_index_set_fast` (`a[i] = v`, closure `__44845`) and `emit_persistent_shadow_root_barrier` (a pointer root store, closure `__44449`). Each now returns early when `ctx.block().is_terminated()`. Also adds a `PERRY_DIALECT_DUMP=<dir>` diagnostic: on a dialect construction failure, `render_units_from_frozen` names the offending function and writes its full IR (typed insts rendered via `render_into`) — the failing unit never parses, so the normal `PERRY_SAVE_LL` post-parse dump cannot capture it. This is how the two sites above were located. Validated end-to-end: with these guards, the cli.js bundle codegens ALL 84 units with zero "used but never defined" errors (it previously failed at unit 25); the remaining blocker to a final binary is unrelated (host disk).

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR prevents invalid generated IR after diverging expressions and addresses the reported code-generation failure. It is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up because one failure path omits diagnostic IR output, which could slow investigation of future codegen errors without affecting normal builds. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Route FnStream::begin errors through dump_dialect_failure.
FnStream::begin is a dialect construction step. Line 255 returns its error without calling dump_dialect_failure. If the function header fails and PERRY_DIALECT_DUMP is set, the diagnostic does not write the function IR.
Use map_err(|e| dump_dialect_failure(f, e)) for the FnStream::begin result.

Problem
With the #8583 fan-out fix (#8633) in place, the Claude Code 2.1.112 bundle codegens past the old
@main/__33499hang but then fails at unit 25 with:This is a pre-existing codegen soundness bug, previously masked because the compile never got past the unit-4 hang.
Root cause
When a sub-expression provably diverges — a throwing operand (a captured TDZ access / const-reassignment) emits
js_throw_error_with_code+unreachable— the current block is terminated.LlBlocksilently drops any instruction emitted after a terminator (block.rs), so the setup registers for the surrounding operation are discarded. But block-creating lowerings still emit fresh blocks that reference those dropped%rNregisters, and the dialect builder rejects the module ("register %rN used but never defined", dialect/mod.rsfinish()). The surrounding operation is unreachable on that path, so the correct behavior is to emit nothing once the block is terminated.Two sites hit this in the bundle (both dead code after a proven-throwing operand):
lower_index_set_fast(a[i] = v, closure__44845, undefined%r142/%r144/%r145)emit_persistent_shadow_root_barrier(a pointer root store, closure__44449, undefined%r102)Fix
Each site returns early when
ctx.block().is_terminated()— the sound, minimal guard (no poison-masking, which would hide genuine miscompiles). Also adds an env-gatedPERRY_DIALECT_DUMP=<dir>diagnostic: on a dialect construction failure,render_units_from_frozennames the offending function and dumps its full IR (typed insts viarender_into). The failing unit never parses, soPERRY_SAVE_LL(post-parse) can't capture it — this diagnostic is how the two sites were found, and it makes the whole class diagnosable in future. Zero cost when the env var is unset.Validation
End-to-end: with these guards the cli.js bundle codegens all 84 units with zero "used but never defined" errors (it previously failed at unit 25). The only remaining blocker to a final binary is unrelated host disk pressure (a shared-machine ENOSPC), not codegen. A unit repro of the exact diverged-operand shape is bundle-specific; happy to add one if preferred.
cargo test -p perry-codegenpending-CI (local runs are disk-constrained by concurrent builds).Stacks conceptually on #8633 (both under #8583) but touches disjoint files.
