A let/var a closure captures and something reassigns lives in a malloc-side box cell, and every registered cell is a strong GC root (scan_box_roots_mut). Only the async-to-generator transform's terminal Stmt::ReleaseBoxes ever released one (#7933/#8208/#8303); an ordinary function, method, arrow, generator, or an async function with no await leaked one registered root per boxed binding per call, plus everything that binding last pointed at. Codegen registers every entry slot holding a cell this frame minted (stmt/boxed_frame_release.rs, new) and the existing return-site rewrite that already injects js_shadow_frame_pop now also emits js_box_scope_release before every ret; a declaration inside a loop releases the previous iteration's cell before minting the next. Runtime (box/scope_release.rs, new): a cell no closure captured publishes immediately; a captured cell is marked frame-released in its capture-edge record and published only when its last capture edge dies via the existing dead-owner pruning -- the same escape contract #8303 built for async activations. Two holders the runtime cannot count keep their cells instead of double-releasing: a sloppy-mode mapped arguments object, and a plain-async step closure's own activation cells; a step closure's capture of an enclosing frame's cell is now counted, since the activation token never covered it. Fixes a latent GC hole shared with #8303 in the same commit: a full trace that stops rooting a released cell must still keep it in BOX_YOUNG_ROOTS while young, because a minor walks only that log -- dropping it left the next minor with no root for a payload a live closure still reads.

withdrawn-slot behavior, and ensure cleanup occurs before js_throw/unreachable
without affecting ordinary return cleanup.

releases_before_each_ret to inspect each `@js_box_scope_release` slot operand,
requiring the unmapped parameter b and OUTER slot rather than mapped parameter a
or activation-owned OWN; retain the existing per-return release coverage while
asserting these exact identities.

Release frame-owned box cells on exceptional exits. mint_frame_cell registers each cell for cleanup before ret, but Stmt::Throw emits js_throw followed by unreachable. An uncaught throw therefore unwinds without calling js_*box_scope_release. Registered cells are strong GC roots, so repeated calls can retain each cell and its object graph. Add an exceptional cleanup path before propagating the throw, while preserving captured-cell deferral and withdrawn-slot behavior.

Assert release identity instead of release count.
releases_before_each_ret counts @js_box_scope_release calls but ignores each call's slot operand. A release loaded from a or OWN therefore still satisfies the one-release assertion.
Assert that the release uses the slot for unmapped parameter b, not mapped parameter a, and the slot for OUTER, not activation-owned OWN. No other exact mapped-arguments or plain-async release test checks this identity.

Summary
A
let/varthat a closure captures and something reassigns lives in a malloc-side box cell, and every registered cell is a strong GC root (scan_box_roots_mut). Only the async-to-generator transform ever released one (Stmt::ReleaseBoxes, #7933/#8208/#8303), so an ordinary function, method, arrow, generator, or anasyncfunction with noawaitleaked one registered root per boxed binding per call, together with everything that binding last pointed at.PERRY_GC_DIAG=1reportedreleases=0for every non-async workload.This PR gives an ordinary frame the same lifetime contract the async activation already had.
This recovers and re-validates a fix originally developed on a now-destroyed build host (perrybuilder, shut down mid-session). The code was recovered byte-exact from the editing checkout that was in sync with it; every validation number below was re-run from scratch on a fresh host (
perrymaster.skelpo.net), not carried over from the lost session.Root cause
crates/perry-runtime/src/box.rs:691(js_box_alloc_bits) registers each cell inBOX_REGISTRYfor the life of the process;scan_box_roots_mutmarks the JSValue inside every registered cell on every collection.crates/perry-transform/src/generator/box_release.rs:50, called from the async step lowering. No pass emitted one for ordinary functions.payloadmode, 100k calls): 601 MB RSS vs 69 MB for an equal-allocation control,allocs=100000 releases=0 registry_len=100000.The fix
Codegen — name the cells the frame can no longer reach (
crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/boxed_frame_release.rs, new): every entry-alloca slot holding a cell this frame minted is registered, and the existing return-site rewrite that already injectsjs_shadow_frame_popnow also emitsjs_box_scope_releasebefore everyret. A declaration inside a loop releases the previous iteration's cell before minting the next. Two holders the runtime cannot count withdraw their slot: a sloppy-mode mappedargumentsobject, and a plain-async step closure's own activation cells; a step closure's capture of an enclosing frame's cell is now counted, since the activation token never covered it.Runtime — publish or defer (
crates/perry-runtime/src/box/scope_release.rs, new): a cell with no capture edge publishes immediately; a captured cell is marked frame-released in its capture-edge record and published only when its last capture edge dies via the existing dead-owner pruning — the same escape contract #8303 built for async activations (ephemeron discipline: reachable exactly as long as a live closure reaches it).A latent GC hole found and fixed in the same commit (
box.rs,scan_box_roots_mut): a full trace that stops rooting a released cell must still keep it inBOX_YOUNG_ROOTSwhile young, because a minor collection walks only that log. Dropping it left the next minor with no root for a payload a live closure still reads — a stale from-space read. A new unit test,a_full_trace_keeps_a_released_cell_in_the_minor_remembered_set, pins the rule.Tests
test-files/test_gap_10464_box_cell_release.ts(305 lines) — the issue repro plus escape coverage: returned counters, closures in aMap, per-iteration loop bindings, nested closures created after the outer frame returned, a self-referencing payload (box -> closure -> same box), generators driven across GCs, class frames storing closures on the instance, early return/throw/finally, recursion, captured-and-reassigned parameters,asyncwithoutawait, and anawaiting async closure that resumes after its enclosing synchronous frame returned.origin/mainbefore this fix,9df5075fb):PARITY_FAIL—payload growth bounded by control: false.PASS— byte-identical to Node.Plus Rust unit tests in
box/scope_release.rs(publish-exactly-once, idempotence, unminted-slot/foreign-pointer no-ops, escaped closure keeps its cell until GC death, the young-log rule, per-kind i32/bool registries) andstmt/boxed_frame_release_tests.rs.GC-rooting validation (this fix is GC-sensitive by nature)
Per project policy, a box-release fix needs to be validated under the rooting instruments, not just the test suite — a wrong release is a use-after-free that surfaces cycles later as
TypeError: value is not a function.PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_SEED=<1,2> PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_RATE=1 PERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1 PERRY_GC_DIAG=1on the compiled gap-test binary printed[gc-fromspace-protect] mode=ProtectPages retired_set=#0 blocks=1 sets_held=1/4 bytes_protected=1048576 ...(141,635 times over the run) — proving copying minors actually ran and the from-space quarantine was live, not a vacuous pass.PERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_RATE=1(collect at every handled safepoint) withPERRY_GC_PROTECT_FROMSPACE=1— every deterministic output line (counter cells, returned counters, per-iteration map closures, nested closures, self-cycles, generators, class frames, exits, recursion, params, async cases) matched Node byte-for-byte on all 7 seeds. No segfault, no SIGSEGV from the quarantine on any seed.PERRY_GC_FORCE_EVACUATE=1 PERRY_GC_VERIFY_EVACUATION=1(panics on any mutable live slot still pointing at a forwarded nursery object) — clean, exit 0, deterministic output matched Node.payload growth bounded by controlflipstrue→falseunderPERRY_GC_SCHEDULE_RATE=1specifically (collecting at literally every safepoint). This is the test's own coarse RSS-delta heuristic (payloadGrowth < controlGrowth + 96MB); at maximum collection density the RSS measurement itself becomes noisy (allocator/page-level effects from constant collection), independent of this fix's correctness — every other line in the same run, including all logic/identity assertions, matched Node exactly. Not run under normal (non-RATE=1) scheduling, where the gap test's ownPASSalready covers this line at default cadence.Validation
