📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds collectible-only young-root logs for shapes, boxes, descriptors, dynamic properties, and built-in closure metadata. It instruments copying-minor GC phases and scanner time. It adds completeness tests, diagnostic output, performance reports, and a changelog entry. ChangesCopying-minor GC instrumentation

Keep minor remembered sets for boxed roots and the shape table's carrier mutations. Compact both sets after each minor while retaining authoritative full-table walks for major collection. Report whole copied-minor pause time and its scanner share together.
Record the scanner map, sabotage-able test coverage, disk-gated validation, predictions, and the exact perrymaster follow-up request.
Account for the successful copying-minor path with diagnostic-only wall-time buckets that partition the same interval as pause_us. Include per-table from-space finalization and dead-owner prune detail so the remaining fixed minor cost can be localized from one complete ran line.
Make descriptor, closure metadata, template, array named-property, and symbol side-table minor scans proportional to entries that can still move, die, or expose a young strong edge. Keep full scans authoritative and use test-only re-derivation sabotage checks to enforce every write funnel. Narrow descriptor and closure owner retention to collectible metadata keys; long-lived values remain logged only where their transitive edges require it.
Record the phase instrument, young-log mappings and sabotage coverage, shape residual analysis, validation results, performance predictions, and the exact perrymaster relink and measurement request.

Restore the dense full-table walkers for template roots and symbol side tables after MP measurements showed that their keyed young paths cost more. Remove the associated publication upkeep and rederivation tests while leaving the three measured wins and descriptor narrowing intact. Move the built-in closure young log onto hot TLS and update the thread-local and rekey policy inventories for the callable-exports module split.

Make the -j4 request executable.
The request says to run the gates at -j4, but none of the listed Cargo commands includes -j4. Add the flag to each command or state exactly where the wrapper supplies it. This avoids uncontrolled build concurrency during the detached run.

Retain minor-relevant drained async boxes during full-trace compaction.
scan_box_roots_mut skips these boxes before rebuilding BOX_YOUNG_ROOTS, but relevant_box_roots still includes them. A minor-relevant payload then fails debug_assert_logged in debug builds and is omitted from scan_box_young_roots_mut in release builds. Retain the skipped address when its payload is minor-relevant.

Filter BUILTIN_CLOSURE_YOUNG when pruning dead owners.
The metadata maps are pruned after the young-log scan, but the log still contains the dead addresses. Later minor scans revisit and retain each address while it remains nursery, survivor, or PromotedYoung. A full scan or a non-collectible transition is then required to remove it. Filter the drained log with is_dead_owner before re-extending it.

…minor A minor can only remove nursery owners, so walk the per-object layout tables' young-entry log rather than every standing key. Full collections retain the whole-table prune and rebuild the log from survivors. Replay 19a6cd2 on the #9957 phase-instrument tree. Its runtime hunks are unchanged; the young-log test file keeps both the newer fixed-cost scanner tests and the replayed layout-prune tests.

Runtime-only, stacked on #9950 (
e2eee113d). Written by codex from the campaign's per-minor numbers on cc; the release lib suite passed on the authoring host (3,273 passed, 4 ignored; one PTY-sensitive non-TTY test failed only because the detached run allocated a PTY), the two build gates were not run there (disk). Perrymaster's ladder and rows will be appended. GC-adjacent: needsrun-extended-tests.Why
With #9950's
pause_us=a steady copying minor on cc costs 32–59 ms (median ≈ 46), of which the profiled scanners are 11–18 ms. The remaining 20–45 ms per minor — about 5 % of turn CPU — could not be attributed by the diag. And the five scanners that still lead a steady minor (scan_descriptor_roots_mut4 ms,scan_closure_dynamic_props_roots_mut3,scan_template_raw_roots_mut2,scan_symbol_side_table_roots_mut2,scan_builtin_closure_metadata_roots_mut1.5) walk their tables whole, the same table-size shape #9950 removed for shapes and boxes.What changes
[gc-copy-minor] ranline carriesphases:with non-overlapping spans on the same clock aspause_us—root_scan,copy_evacuation,remembered_set_young_logs,promotion,dead_owner_side_table_pruning(each dead-owner registry table clocked and named separately),from_space_finalization,forwarding_fixups,block_reset_flip— an exactotherresidual andphase_sum_usequal topause_uswithin truncation, with counts where the collector owns them. No accumulator, no clocks and no strings whenPERRY_GC_DIAGis off. A sabotage unit fails if the partition is widened or a bucket omitted.Predictions (falsifiers on the cc 4-turn diag run vs #9950's runtime)
The phase table names which phase owns the unattributed 30–35 ms of a steady minor; each of the five scanners ≤ 0.3 ms on a zero-live steady minor; steady scanner total ≤ 5 ms; paired turn CPU not worse than #9950's runtime (the scanner saving ≈ 7–10 ms per minor); RSS unchanged.
MP measurement (perrymaster, 2026-09-07) and the follow-up commit
The phase instrument is free (paired 3300 rows median 0.0 %, RSS flat). Scanner medians over 16 steady minors showed three of the five new young logs paying (closure_dynamic_props −0.7 ms, builtin_closure_metadata −0.5, shape_cache −0.4) and two costing MORE than the dense walks they replaced (template_raw_roots 1.83 → 2.76 ms, symbol_side_table 1.74 → 2.47): their entries live in HashMaps that relocate on rekey/growth, so the logged path pays a lookup per entry the dense walk never pays. 151680f reverts those two logs (and their rederivation tests), keeps the three that pay, and fixes the thread-local inventory for the callable_exports.rs split. Re-measure falsifier: template_raw ≤ 1.83 ms, symbol ≤ 1.74 ms, total scanners ≤ 14 ms.
Local gates on 151680f (macOS arm64, 2026-09-08): runtime lib suite one thread 3,271 passed / 0 failed / 4 ignored;
cargo build --release -p perry-runtime --features wasm-hostok; thread-local policy and rekey inventories clean.Re-measured (perrymaster MP2, 2026-09-08, this head on the MP tree; one 4-turn 3300 diag run)
Steady-minor scanner medians 15.5 ms (control) → 12.8 ms (this head);
template_raw_roots1.86 ms andsymbol_side_table1.68 ms, i.e. back at their full-walk cost (the logged versions were 2.76 / 2.47); the three kept logs unchanged (closure_dynamic_props 2.86, builtin_closure_metadata 0.80, shape_cache 0.27). Steady minor pause 46.3 → 42.5 ms. Paired single-turn CPU neutral (2.68 vs 2.69 s), as expected for a −2.5 ms-per-minor change; runtime lib suite 3243/0 on the box, 3271/0 on macOS.https://claude.ai/code/session_011dhBmdn4vGgNibjo3oZqTo
