Perry is a native TypeScript compiler written in Rust that compiles TypeScript source code directly to native executables. It uses SWC for TypeScript parsing and LLVM for code generation.

- **Async-to-generator transform, body locals.** It boxes every body local into a shared mutable cell typed `Any`. Two consequences seen in the wild: per-iteration `let`/`const` bindings collapse for closures created in a loop, and computed numeric-key calls (`arr[i](x)`) lose their type proof and silently resolve by *method name*, evaporating the call.
- **Native base-class subclassing.** A native base's surface is installed at `super()` time and its parent edge lives in the class registry; keying any of that on a literal `extends` name loses it for fieldless classes, indirect subclasses, and class expressions.
- **Two prototype-resolution paths.** `CLASS_PROTOTYPE_OBJECTS` (synthetic: `Object.create`, plain-function ctors) vs `CLASS_DECL_PROTOTYPE_OBJECTS` (declared classes). `in`/`for…in` and `getPrototypeOf` have disagreed about the same chain.
- **Root-store dominance in codegen.** *A GC-managed value's root store must **dominate** every subsequent site that can collect.* Three ways it has broken, all shipped: the store's slot index fell outside the pushed shadow frame so `js_shadow_slot_bind` bounds-checked it into a silent no-op (#7184); the store was emitted in-frame but **after** a call that allocates (#7192); and the value lives in a plain `alloca_entry` that is neither a shadow slot nor a temp root, so the collector never rewrites it (`lower_call/new.rs`'s inline-ctor `this_slot`, closed by #7207; `--unrooted-allocas` is the detector for that shape, and its remaining hits are #7210's). All three present identically — a *rooted* slot holding a dangling pointer, surfacing cycles later as `TypeError: value is not a function` — and **none is visible to any runtime GC probe**, because at the moment of the collection there is nothing for the collector to find. That is why #7154's from-space scan only ever saw offenders whose targets had already died. The instrument is static: `scripts/gc_root_dominance_check.py` over `--trace llvm` output (`--self-test` proves it can still fail). Only bites under `PERRY_GC_MOVING_LOOP_POLLS=1`, off by default since #7161 — so a green default run says nothing about this class. **Full writeup, every known shape and how to check your work: `docs/src/internals/gc-rooting-invariant.md`.** The CI gate is `gc-root-dominance.yml` over `scripts/gc_root_dominance_corpus.sh`; known-remaining hits are named one-per-entry in `scripts/gc_root_dominance_allowlist.json` (an entry that matches nothing FAILS, so a fix must delete its entry), and that list is currently **empty** — every new hit is a red build.

The instrument is static: `scripts/gc_root_dominance_check.py` over `--trace llvm` output (`--self-test` proves it can still fail). Only bites where a back-edge poll is emitted, which is again the default (`PERRY_GC_MOVING_LOOP_POLLS`, kill switch `=0`) in every loop that can allocate — so a green default run does say something about this class, and `=0` is what makes it dark. **Full writeup, every known shape and how to check your work: `docs/src/internals/gc-rooting-invariant.md`.** The CI gate is `gc-root-dominance.yml` over `scripts/gc_root_dominance_corpus.sh`; known-remaining hits are named one-per-entry in `scripts/gc_root_dominance_allowlist.json` (an entry that matches nothing FAILS, so a fix must delete its entry), and that list is currently **empty** — every new hit is a red build.
- **A runtime-side cache of a raw heap pointer is a GC root, and the static checker cannot see it.** `scripts/gc_root_dominance_check.py` reads emitted LLVM IR, so a thread-local or side table holding a `*mut` into the heap is structurally invisible to it — the runtime instruments above are the only detector, and they go at the workload *before* you grind the static checker's tail. Two tells. An unrooted *register* goes bad only when a collection lands in its window, so it is intermittent; an unrooted *cache* goes bad at collection #0 and stays bad, so **a perfectly reproducible GC bug means a table, not a register**. And the registry is `gc_register_mutable_root_scanner` in `gc/mod.rs` (~55 entries): when you add a cache of a heap pointer, add it there in the same commit. Worked examples: `changelog.d/7219-registry-gc-unrooted-caches.md`, `changelog.d/7239-gc-unrooted-runtime-caches.md`.
