main's own latest commit was red on lint and cargo-test, unrelated to any in-flight PR — three checkers went stale after recent perf PRs landed correct code. This updates the checkers/classifiers to match.

What was wrong and why
  • scripts/shape_descriptor_census.py still asserted the old select(I1, &is_stamp, I64, &id_token, "0") fail-closed shape in the generic property-read PIC. #8665 legitimately replaced it with icmp_ne(I32, &pcid, "0") (a documented six-instruction perf win) but never updated the assertion. The checked-in call-site baseline was also missing two new, legitimate object_header_size_bytes(...) sites #8680 added in inline_dyn_typed_array.rs.
  • scripts/addr_class_inventory.py's lone-valid-obj-ptr rule reimplemented its own narrower lookahead (1 code line) instead of reusing the already-tested band_predicate_near helper (6 code lines, comment/blank-aware) that the handle-floor rule uses. That gap flagged a correctly-paired is_valid_obj_ptr + try_read_gc_header guard #8680 added in array/subclass.rs as a false positive. Fixing the rule to call the shared helper also cleared several other pre-existing false positives across the tree, so the ratchet baseline is refreshed to the now-accurate counts.
  • codegen_env_vars_are_build_cache_inputs failed because two new codegen env vars were never classified: PERRY_CONST_ARRAY_DESCRIPTOR (#8583's array-literal const-descriptor gate — changes emitted IR, added to BUILD_CACHE_ENV_VARS) and PERRY_DIALECT_DUMP (only read on an already-fatal dialect-construction failure, so it can't affect a successful build's bytes — added to BUILD_CACHE_ENV_EXCLUSIONS).

Test plan

  • python3 scripts/shape_descriptor_census.py passes locally
  • python3 scripts/addr_class_inventory.py --self-test && python3 scripts/addr_class_inventory.py passes locally
  • cargo test -p perry --bin perry commands::compile::build_cache::tests:: passes locally (4/4)
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check, workspace_architecture.py, check_file_size.sh, local_binding_type_audit.py, binding_pins.mjs --check, binding_governance.py --check, gc_runtime_root_holders.py all pass locally

…et assertions, unclassified codegen env vars)

Three separate pre-existing failures on main's own latest commit, none
caused by an in-flight PR: shape_descriptor_census.py asserted a
select()-based fail-closed token shape that PR PerryTS#8665 legitimately
replaced with icmp_ne, and was missing two legitimate call sites PR
PerryTS#8680 added; addr_class_inventory.py's lone-valid-obj-ptr rule used a
narrower ad hoc lookahead than the shared band_predicate_near helper,
flagging a correctly-paired guard PR PerryTS#8680 added as a false positive;
and codegen_env_vars_are_build_cache_inputs failed because
PERRY_CONST_ARRAY_DESCRIPTOR and PERRY_DIALECT_DUMP were never
classified into BUILD_CACHE_ENV_VARS/BUILD_CACHE_ENV_EXCLUSIONS.

Gate alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release metadata
CLAUDE.md, Cargo.toml, changelog.d/8684-fix-main-red-lint-cargo-test.md
The documented and workspace versions move to 0.5.1520. The changelog records the gate fixes.
Build-cache environment classification
crates/perry/src/commands/compile/build_cache.rs
PERRY_CONST_ARRAY_DESCRIPTOR becomes a cache-key input. PERRY_DIALECT_DUMP remains excluded for test-only diagnostics.
Address inventory detection and baseline
scripts/addr_class_inventory.py, scripts/addr_class_ratchet_baseline.txt
Brace-aware predicate detection handles nested and else if guards. The ratchet baseline updates current sites and counts. Self-tests cover sibling and nested predicates.
Shape-descriptor census validation
scripts/shape_descriptor_census.py, scripts/shape_descriptor_census_baseline.json
Generic read PIC validation requires an explicit invalid-pcid comparison. A sabotage test validates rejection of an incorrect comparison. The baseline adds two call sites and raises the count from 34 to 36.
Runtime thread-local declaration
crates/perry-runtime/src/node_submodules/test_runner.rs
The test runner uses crate::perry_thread_local! instead of Rust’s standard thread_local! macro.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8d9cd

The address-classification checker can incorrectly treat an unsafe dereference as guarded when a sibling else-if follows a closing brace, which could let invalid code pass the repository’s safety checks. Merge should wait for the brace-handling fix and its self-test.

…ts own statement

band_predicate_near's generic 6-line forward scan is right for
handle-floor (PerryTS#6321's fix shape deliberately spans two separate `if`
statements), but it let lone-valid-obj-ptr clear a real dereference
finding using a band predicate from a wholly disconnected LATER
sibling conditional -- caught by CodeRabbit on PR PerryTS#8685. Give
lone-valid-obj-ptr its own scoped variant that stops the forward scan
at the next sibling if/while/for/match, which still accepts the real
guard-then-early-return-then-predicate shape (array/subclass.rs) while
closing the false negative.

…ed guards

Stopping the forward scan at any later if/while/for/match (6bf6be3)
was too blunt: it also stopped on a band predicate NESTED inside the
same guard's block, e.g. `if is_valid_obj_ptr(ptr) { if
is_above_handle_band(...) { deref } }` -- caught by a second CodeRabbit
pass on PR PerryTS#8685. Track brace depth relative to the guard's own line
and only treat a later conditional as the disconnected-sibling
boundary once depth has returned to zero, i.e. the guard's block (and
anything nested inside it) has actually closed.

…count

A net per-line count (open-count minus close-count) gets an '} else if is_valid_obj_ptr(ptr) {' guard line wrong: net zero reads as unchanged depth, but the leading close belongs to the ENCLOSING branch and the trailing open starts the guard's OWN block, so depth should end one level deeper. Process each line's braces in source order with a floor at zero instead, so a leading close belonging to a block this scan does not track can't push depth negative and mask the following open. Added the else-if-guard shape CodeRabbit flagged to run_self_tests.
- addr_class_inventory.py: a per-line net brace count
  (count("{") - count("}")) gets `} else if COND {` wrong -- the
  leading close belongs to the prior branch, the trailing open starts
  the guard's OWN block, so a net-zero line was read as "unchanged
  depth" when it should end one level deeper. Process braces
  character-by-character instead (apply_brace_deltas), floored at
  zero so an outer close we don't track can't go negative. Regression
  test added for `} else if is_valid_obj_ptr(ptr) { if
  is_above_handle_band(...) { deref } }`.
- shape_descriptor_census.py: added a sabotage self-test for the
  generic-read-PIC fail-closed-token assertion touched in this PR
  (icmp_ne(I32, &pcid, "0")), planting a mutated comparand and
  confirming assert_authority_surfaces rejects it -- proven
  non-vacuous by manually reverting the production check and
  confirming the census fails, then restoring it.

258-262: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Handle the closing brace before classifying a later conditional.

At Line 258, the code checks depth before applying the braces on code. For this input:

if is_valid_obj_ptr(ptr) {
    (*ptr).class_id
} else if is_above_handle_band(ptr as usize) {
    other_work();
}

depth is still 1 when the } else if ... line is examined. The line is included, and is_above_handle_band clears the lone-valid-obj-ptr finding. That predicate belongs to the alternate branch and does not guard the dereference in the first branch.

Process leading closing braces before the sibling check, or otherwise treat } else if as a sibling when it closes the current guard. Add this inverse else if case to run_self_tests.

Also applies to: 539-554

Lands #8685. main was red on `lint` and `cargo-test` independently of any
in-flight PR: three checkers went stale after correct code landed.

- `shape_descriptor_census.py` still asserted the pre-#8665 fail-closed
  shape in the generic property-read PIC, and its callsite baseline was
  missing two legitimate `object_header_size_bytes(...)` sites that #8680
  added in `inline_dyn_typed_array.rs`.
- `addr_class_inventory.py`'s `lone-valid-obj-ptr` rule reimplemented a
  1-line lookahead instead of reusing the comment/blank-aware
  `band_predicate_near` helper the `handle-floor` rule already uses. That
  flagged two correctly-paired `is_valid_obj_ptr` + `try_read_gc_header`
  guards in `array/subclass.rs` as false positives.
- `codegen_env_vars_are_build_cache_inputs` failed on two unclassified
  env vars: `PERRY_CONST_ARRAY_DESCRIPTOR` (changes emitted IR, so a
  build-cache input) and `PERRY_DIALECT_DUMP` (read only on an already
  fatal dialect-construction failure, so excluded).

The addr-class ratchet baseline was regenerated from the merged tree
rather than hand-merged through its conflict. Every change is in the
strict direction: four entries removed outright and
`class_registry/construct.rs` 5 -> 3, nothing loosened. The rule still
detects real violations (`--self-test` passes).

Version bump stripped per maintainer policy; the changelog fragment was
renamed to its own PR number.

Landed on main via #8695 (squash 10d9ca56e) — main's full lint set is green again.

I verified the red before landing rather than taking the title on faith, and checked the two array/subclass.rs sites your rule change unflags: both are correctly-paired is_valid_obj_ptr guards followed three lines later by try_read_gc_header, which the 1-line lookahead structurally couldn't see past. Genuine false positives.

Since a rule change that reduces hits fails green if it under-counts, I checked the direction two ways: --self-test still passes, and I regenerated the ratchet baseline from the merged tree rather than hand-merging its conflict — every change came out strict (four entries removed, class_registry/construct.rs 5 → 3, nothing loosened).

Two adjustments: the version bump was stripped per maintainer policy, and the fragment was renamed 8684-8685- to match its own PR number.

Worth saying plainly: two of the three stale checkers were tripped by #8680, which I merged, and neither was in the local gate subset I'd been running. I've regenerated my gate set from test.yml so all 30 run from here on. Thanks for catching it.
