Summary

A method call whose name matches a Date/Number/some Array.prototype builtin (getTime, toFixed,
toISOString, toSorted, endsWith, ...) was lowered straight to that builtin's runtime entry point
regardless of what the receiver actually was. A method name was being treated as proof of receiver kind. Any
class, function-constructor prototype, or object literal that defines a same-named method — dayjs's
toISOString/toJSON, decimal.js/bignumber.js's toFixed, a plain Clock.getTime() — had its own method
silently skipped in favor of the builtin, producing NaN, "[object Object]", Invalid Date, or an uncaught
RangeError: Invalid time value instead of ever calling the user's code. A zero-arg call of a user method
sharing a name with a required-arg String builtin (endsWith/includes/startsWith) didn't even compile.

This note was recovered from a session mirror after the build host it was developed on (84.32.71.237,
perrybuilder) was shut down by its owner mid-session; every unpushed clone on it, including this fix's original
commits, was lost. The patch survived as a diff in the session's local scratchpad and was re-applied cleanly to
current main, then fully re-validated from scratch on a new host (crate tests, both gap tests re-run
against Node, the issue's own repro before/after, lint, and a fresh instructions-based perf A/B) — nothing below
is carried over from the lost run without being re-measured.

Root cause

crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get.rs (and the equivalent HIR-side lowering in
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_call/{array_only_methods,local_array_methods,url_date_instance}.rs) dispatched
Date.prototype/Number.prototype/Array.prototype method names unconditionally to their runtime entry points
(js_date_*, js_number_to_*, js_array_*) whenever the method name matched, without checking whether the
receiver was actually a Date, a number, or an array.

Fix

New crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get/builtin_kind_guard.rs (484 lines + 283 lines of unit
tests in builtin_kind_guard_tests.rs):

  • For a receiver the compiler has statically proven to be a Date/number/array, the direct builtin call is
    kept — no behavior or perf change on that path.
  • For any other receiver, the receiver is evaluated once, rooted (it may need to survive an allocating call),
    then a runtime branch on its actual kind selects either the builtin runtime entry point or the universal
    method dispatcher. The dispatcher resolves an own or inherited user method, and — for a receiver that really
    is a Date/number/array at runtime — still reaches the builtin through the prototype chain, so builtin behavior
    on real builtin receivers is unchanged.
  • Receivers with a known class are left to the existing class dispatch tower, unaffected.

Companion changes route the relevant method names through this guard: lower_array_method.rs,
lower_string_method.rs, lower_call/property_get/number_string.rs on the codegen side;
expr_call/{array_only_methods,local_array_methods,url_date_instance}.rs on the HIR side (this is also what
fixes the endsWith()/includes()/startsWith() 0-arg compile failure — those names no longer force-route
through the arg-count-checked String-builtin-only path when the receiver isn't provably a string).

15 files changed, 2122 insertions(+), 209 deletions(-).

Tests added

  • test-files/test_gap_10476_builtin_named_guarded_receivers.ts (608 lines) and
    test-files/test_gap_10476_builtin_named_user_methods.ts (329 lines) — cover the issue's repro plus variants:
    function-constructor prototypes, classes, object literals, renamed/aliased methods, 0-arg calls, and the
    "receiver really is a Date/number/array" control cases that must still hit the builtin.
  • crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get/builtin_kind_guard_tests.rs (283 lines, 10 tests) and
    crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_call/builtin_named_user_methods_tests.rs (154 lines, 4 tests).

Proof the gap tests fail before this fix: run against a clean main build (9df5075fbe), both new gap tests
fail to compile (COMPILE_FAIL, 0/2) — the endsWith() 0-arg case is a hard compile error on main, so the
harness can't even get to a byte-comparison. Against this fix's build, both pass byte-for-byte against Node
26.5.1 (2/2, 100%).

Validation

Crate tests (--profile perry-dev, RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 not needed — these are perry-codegen/perry-hir, not
perry-runtime):

  • perry-codegen --tests: all suites green, 1603+ passed / 0 failed (includes the new 10-test
    builtin_kind_guard_tests module).
  • perry-hir --tests: all suites green, 451+ passed / 0 failed (includes the new 4-test
    builtin_named_user_methods_tests module).

Issue repro, run directly (not through the harness) on both binaries:

  • Baseline (main @ 9df5075fbe) reproduces every symptom in the issue verbatim: NaN for
    Money.prototype.toFixed, [object Object] for getTime, RangeError: Invalid time value for
    toISOString/toJSON, and a hard compile failure (String.endsWith expects 1 or 2 args, got 0) for the
    zero-arg endsWith() case.
  • This fix: output identical to Node 26.5.1 on every line, including the previously-uncompilable endsWith()
    case.

Lint (SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 — this host's compile tier is known-red on Linux, unrelated to this change):
76/77 script gates passed; the one failure is [Public benchmark evidence freshness] (benchmarks/ci_public_baseline_check.py),
which is known-red on main independent of this PR. cargo fmt --all made no changes.
scripts/check_test_registration.py: OK (334 files checked against 4 registries, no gap).

Gap suite: the two new tests only (--filter test_gap_10476), 0/2 → COMPILE_FAIL on baseline, 2/2 → PASS on
this fix, both against the pinned Node 26.5.1 oracle. This change touches property-get/method-call lowering
broadly enough that the 6 CI gap-suite shards are the right backstop for anything beyond these two tests; will
check gh pr checks per the reviewing pass below rather than run the full local suite (host stalls under
auto-optimize).

Performance — a real, deliberate cost on unproven receivers (please read)

For a receiver the compiler can prove is a Date/number/array (typed locals, typed params, literals), this
fix adds a runtime kind check that resolves to a compile-time no-op — those paths are unaffected. Measured
control shapes (date_typed, fixed_typed, fixed_any, ends_typed, sorted_typed, date_any) all sit
within ~2% of baseline instruction counts — noise on this shared host.

For a receiver whose kind is not statically provable and that calls a builtin-named method, the new runtime
branch is real, unavoidable overhead: a probe (dj.toJSON()/dj.valueOf() and m.toFixed() on any-typed
locals, 200k iterations, perf stat -e instructions, 3 runs) gives:

shape baseline instructions baseline output fix instructions fix output fix wall (3 runs) Node wall (3 runs) fix vs Node
dayjs_shape ~44.5M crashes: RangeError: Invalid time value ~4.80B correct, matches Node 651 / 675 / 678 ms 187 / 204 / 240 ms ~3.1–3.3x slower (≈+210–230%)
money_shape ~538M wrong: 600000 (Node/fix: 1000000) ~1.30B correct, matches Node 363 / 417 / 418 ms 102 / 104 / 107 ms ~3.6–4.0x slower (≈+260–300%)

The baseline's instruction counts and wall times for these two shapes are not valid comparators — the
baseline is cheap for dayjs_shape because it throws before doing 200k iterations of real work, and it is cheap
for money_shape because it silently computes the wrong answer (dispatches to a numeric builtin instead of the
user's method). "The old speed was the bug." There is no valid same-work baseline number for these two shapes;
the only honest comparison is fix-vs-Node.

Both shapes land well outside the project's 20%-of-Node floor — this is larger than a one-line "exceeds the
floor" note would suggest, and I'm flagging it explicitly rather than smoothing it over: any hot loop that
repeatedly calls a builtin-named method on a receiver Perry cannot statically prove the type of (typically
any-typed interop with a class library like dayjs/decimal.js) will now pay a real, measurable runtime-dispatch
tax to get the correct answer instead of a wrong one quickly. I did not find a way to shrink this within the
scope of this fix without either reintroducing the bug or a larger redesign of receiver-kind proof upstream
(narrowing more any types before codegen) — flagging for the owner to weigh correctness-vs-speed here rather
than deciding unilaterally to ship or block on it.

What I did not verify

  • The full local gap suite (host stalls under auto-optimize per its known quirks) — relying on CI's 6 shards for
    broader-than-test_gap_10476 fallout; will check per the review-pass step below.
  • perry-runtime is untouched by this change, so its (parallel-unsafe) test suite was not re-run.
  • No package-level re-run against a real npm package (dayjs itself) beyond the issue's own dayjs-shaped repro,
    which is included verbatim in the gap test and passes.

Fixes #10476

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • User-defined methods with names matching built-in Date, Number, Array, or String methods now dispatch correctly on the actual receiver.
    • Fixed incorrect results and runtime errors for methods such as toISOString, getTime, toFixed, and array sorting methods.
    • Zero-argument calls to startsWith, endsWith, and includes now compile and behave correctly.
    • Array methods on unknown receivers now resolve dynamically instead of incorrectly assuming an array.

A call whose method NAME matched a Date/Number/Array builtin (`getTime`,
`toFixed`, `toISOString`, `toSorted`, `endsWith`, ...) lowered straight to
the builtin's runtime entry point regardless of the receiver, because a
method name alone was treated as proof of receiver kind. Any class,
function-constructor prototype, or object literal defining a same-named
method (dayjs's `toISOString`, decimal.js/bignumber.js's `toFixed`, a
`Clock.getTime`, ...) had its own method silently skipped in favor of the
builtin, producing NaN, "[object Object]", Invalid Date or an uncaught
RangeError instead of calling the user's code (#10476). A 0-arg call of a
user method sharing a name with a required-arg String builtin
(`endsWith`/`includes`/`startsWith`) didn't even compile.

Add crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get/builtin_kind_guard.rs:
for a receiver the compiler has proven to be a Date/number/array, keep the
direct builtin call; for any other receiver, evaluate it once (rooted), then
branch at runtime on its actual kind to either the builtin or the universal
method dispatcher, which resolves an own/inherited user method and still
reaches the builtin via the prototype chain for a real Date/number/array.
Known-class receivers are left to the existing class dispatch tower.
Companion changes in lower_array_method.rs, lower_string_method.rs,
number_string.rs and the HIR-side expr_call lowering route the affected
method names through this guard instead of the unconditional builtin path.

Adds test-files/test_gap_10476_builtin_named_guarded_receivers.ts and
test_gap_10476_builtin_named_user_methods.ts (both fail to compile or
mismatch Node on main; both pass byte-for-byte against Node after this
fix), plus unit coverage in builtin_kind_guard_tests.rs and
builtin_named_user_methods_tests.rs.

Known cost: for a receiver whose kind is NOT statically provable (an
`any`-typed or otherwise unproven object calling a builtin-named method),
the new runtime kind check adds real overhead. On a synthetic microbench
exercising 200k iterations of such calls, `dayjs_shape` and `money_shape`
land well outside the usual 20%-of-Node floor (see PR body for numbers);
the prior "fast" baseline numbers for those two shapes were never valid,
since the baseline computed the wrong answer (money_shape) or crashed
(dayjs_shape) instead of doing the work Node does.

The compiler now preserves user-defined methods whose names match Date, Number, Array, or String builtins. Proven receivers still use direct builtin lowering. Other receivers use runtime kind checks and generic method dispatch. Array and zero-argument String lowering were also updated.

Filed the perf cost as #10594 so it survives this merge rather than living only in this PR's body.

To be explicit about the tradeoff for whoever reviews: the guarded path is 3–4x Node on dayjs_shape and
money_shape, which is well outside the 20% floor. It is still the right change to land — today those shapes
crash (RangeError: Invalid time value) or silently return the wrong number (600000 vs 1000000), and a
slow-but-correct dispatch is something the in-flight perf work can attack. #10594 records the measurements, why
there is no valid baseline comparator, and the first place to look (per-call receiver re-evaluation, cf. #10414
where the same shape of defect in Array.prototype.push was worth −74.6%).

receiver_is_unproven so unresolved receivers are routed through property
resolution or universal dispatch before selecting Date, Number, or Array builtin
lowering. Do not apply guarded_call to any receiver whose own or prototype
runtime property may override the builtin; only use the builtin fast path after
lookup confirms no shadowing override, while preserving proven receiver paths.

Resolve unproven receivers before selecting the builtin. receiver_is_unproven only excludes compiled class method names from ctx.methods; it cannot see an own override or a prototype override installed at runtime. For an any result such as the external make() receiver used by builtin_kind_guard_tests.rs, guarded_call sends a genuine Date or Array directly to the builtin arm. The universal js_native_call_method lookup runs only for non-matching kinds, so a runtime Date/Array override can be skipped and the builtin result can be returned instead.

Route unproven receivers through property resolution or universal dispatch before using the builtin fast path. The builtin path must apply only when lookup confirms that no override shadows the builtin.

In `@crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get/builtin_kind_guard.rs`
around lines 129 - 214, Update try_lower_kind_guarded_builtin_method and
receiver_is_unproven so unresolved receivers are routed through property
resolution or universal dispatch before selecting Date, Number, or Array builtin
lowering. Do not apply guarded_call to any receiver whose own or prototype
runtime property may override the builtin; only use the builtin fast path after
lookup confirms no shadowing override, while preserving proven receiver paths.

Maintainer decision: ship this, with the perf cost accepted and tracked separately.

The pre-fix baseline was not a valid comparator — the old code crashed or returned wrong answers on the
inputs this path now handles, so the speed it appeared to have was the defect, not a property worth
preserving. Correctness lands now; the regression is tracked and handed to the performance work already in
flight, rather than being fixed by reverting to wrong behaviour.
