The #8034 fixture and gate, as real checked-in files

#8037 asks for the Next App Route ALS work to be proven against the real
AppRouteRouteModule.handle path, and names #8034's pinned app and 21-request
verifier as the thing to prove it with — "do not invent a new context test."
That fixture only existed as a generator script in an issue body. This PR
materializes it, plus the two harnesses that run it.

No crates/** changes. The compiler-side fix that this gate needs is
already in flight as #8146 and is deliberately not duplicated here.

What lands

tests/fixtures/next-app-route/ The pinned app: Next.js 16.3.0 / React 19.2.4 with a committed lockfile, verify.mjs, the provider workspace + host, and perry-host.js.
tests/test_next_app_route_node_oracle.sh Node oracle: asserts the pinned versions, npm ci && next build --webpack, asserts the generated bundle really exports routeModule.handle for /api/benchmark, then runs the verifier against next start.
tests/test_next_app_route_dylib.sh The Perry half: compiles the unmodified production route to an app-only dylib, links it against separately built runtime and stdlib/HTTP providers, and drives 10 cold starts x 10 verifier passes.
.github/workflows/next-app-route.yml workflow_dispatch + nightly. Not a per-PR required gate — see below.

The bypass guard, and why the gate greps a log

#8037's acceptance criteria include "contains no direct-handler compatibility
path". perry-host.js therefore wraps routeModule.handle, records the request
id that passes through it, and fails any request whose id never arrived — a
generated handler that calls the userland GET directly cannot pass.

That guard is only worth having if it can fire. Sabotage-tested here by removing
the wrapper install (node perry-host.js, Node 26.5.1, both arms):

arm verify.mjs generated handler bypassed in host log
guard armed (as committed) PASS: 21 …, exit 0 0
wrapper install removed PASS: 21 …, exit 0 22

The verifier's exit code cannot carry this signal. The assertion throws
inside a .then() that runs after the response is already sent, so it is caught
and logged, and the process still exits 0. A gate that only checked exit status
would be theatre. test_next_app_route_dylib.sh greps the host log
(forbidden_diagnostics) instead, and that regex was checked against both logs
above: silent on the armed arm, failing on the sabotaged one.

Why this is not a per-PR gate yet

Three of CLAUDE.md's "four ways a gate can be unable to fail" are about gates
that are green for the wrong reason; the fourth risk here is the opposite — a
gate that is red on arrival:

So it runs on demand and nightly. Promoting it to a required context is a
separate, deliberate step once it is green on main — the same "run it once,
then promote" sequence CLAUDE.md asks for.

The concurrency block drops cancel-in-progress, and keys the group on
github.run_id so every scheduled run is its own group. A constant group
across scheduled runs lets GitHub keep one pending run and cancel the rest with
zero jobs — #7205, relapsed as #7966. I got this wrong first (github.ref) and
scripts/gc_gate_wiring_check.py caught it; that check now covers 33
workflows rather than 32, so this one is genuinely being adjudicated.

Validation

CI status

cargo-test and lint are green. One failure was genuinely mine and is
fixed in this branch: the provider workspace declared panic = "abort" only
under [profile.provider] and had no [profile.release], so release took
cargo's unwind default — #7302's bug class, caught by #8147's newly
repo-wide every_runtime_building_workspace_is_panic_abort.

Every remaining red reproduces off this branch and this PR changes no Rust:

check cause evidence it is not this PR
windows-build 2 gc::tests::handle_bound_method_name TextDecoder/TextEncoder cases same 2 tests fail on unrelated PR fix/8040-class-method-arguments; introduced by #8177 today
conformance-smoke 2/3/4/6/7/8 3 builtin-construct regressions + a wave of node_fail -> parity_fail shard-2 output is identical on fix/8040-class-method-arguments
gc-root-dominance-statepoints Emit the dependency-scale NATIVE (statepoint) IR corpus red on main: latest run + 6 of last 8
compiler-output-regression Gate native-region proof compiler output red on main 4 consecutive nightlies

Two of those are worth their own issues, and neither is fixed here:

  1. gc-root-dominance-statepoints cannot pass. Its job runs the
    dependency-scale corpus step but, unlike the sibling gc-root-dominance
    job, has no setup-node / npm ci — so
    scripts/gc_root_dominance_dep_corpus.sh refuses on a missing
    node_modules/zod. A required GC gate has been red on main since at
    least Aug 14.
  2. Three builtin-construct gap regressions landed on main today:
    test_gap_dynamic_builtin_construct_dispatch,
    test_gap_new_globalthis_builtin_6726, and
    test_gap_builtin_alias_construct_7524 — all pass -> parity_fail.
    Separately, at least eight tests moved node_fail -> parity_fail, i.e.
    they were silently absent from the gate while the Node oracle could not
    run them and are only now surfacing (the runtime: DisposableStack / Symbol.dispose surface incomplete (.disposed returns undefined) #6364 hazard).

No version bump.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a pinned Next.js App Route fixture with Node and Perry validation. The change includes provider dylib loading, ABI checks, repeated cold starts, route-handler interception checks, and a manual/nightly GitHub Actions workflow.

Changes

Next App Route parity fixture

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fixture route and build contract
tests/fixtures/next-app-route/*
Adds the pinned Next.js application, dynamic GET and POST handlers, checksum workload, standalone build configuration, TypeScript settings, and fixture documentation.
Node oracle and request validation
tests/fixtures/next-app-route/verify.mjs, tests/fixtures/next-app-route/perry-host.js, tests/test_next_app_route_node_oracle.sh
Validates concurrent GET requests and a POST request against the production route. The Perry host records calls to routeModule.handle and reports bypasses.
Provider dylib runtime and linker
tests/fixtures/next-app-route/provider/*, tests/fixtures/next-app-route/provider-host.rs, tests/fixtures/next-app-route/provider-linker.sh
Adds provider compilation, runtime archive substitution, ABI export generation, dynamic loading, symbol checks, runtime initialization, and event-loop processing.
Dylib gate and scheduled workflow
tests/test_next_app_route_dylib.sh, .github/workflows/next-app-route.yml, changelog.d/8161-next-app-route-fixture.md
Builds the application and provider dylibs, checks symbols, runs repeated cold starts, and invokes the gate from manual and nightly CI jobs. The workflow also runs focused continuation-parity tests.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 093c0

The test harnesses may accept a stale process after a port collision and report a false-green validation result. The change is otherwise mergeable, with explicit owner follow-up needed to verify the launched process remains alive before readiness checks.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Check the started process before accepting readiness.

If another process already owns the configured port, the new process can exit with EADDRINUSE. The current curl check can then accept the stale process and report a false pass.
