fix(transform): give an exported dynamic-heritage class factory real per-evaluation identity - #10622

…per-evaluation identity
A class expression returned from a function (a mixin/factory —
function withCommands(Base) { return class extends Base {}; }) had no
per-evaluation identity when the function lived in a non-entry module:
every call returned the SAME shared-template class object, re-parented
to the most recently passed Base. specialize_captured_class_factories
already fixes this for same-module callers by cloning a distinct class
per call site, but it only ever sees call sites in the SAME module as
the factory -- a caller in another module reaches the factory through
an ordinary cross-module call that pass never visits, so an exported
factory's own template stayed shared and got silently re-parented on
each call.
Give an exported factory real per-evaluation identity directly: when
its body is nothing but the single-statement
return class extends <expr> {} shape, upgrade the class's own
ClassRef to ClassExprFresh, exactly what the same class expression
would already lower to had it needed per-evaluation statics/captures/a
private brand. This closes the gap for every caller, local or
cross-module, without touching the existing same-module
specialization (a locally-cloned call site never calls the factory at
runtime at all, so it is unaffected).
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe inline transform now gives exported class factories fresh class identity on each evaluation when they directly return a dynamic-heritage class expression. New tests cover entry-module, cross-module, and repeated-call behavior. ChangesDynamic Heritage Factory Identity

Document the lowered-shape restriction.
fresh_export_dynamic_heritage_factories matches an exported function whose return is a two-part sequence: RegisterClassParentDynamic followed by the matching ClassRef. Non-computed, non-private instance members that add no captured values still produce this sequence. Replace {}; and “no other members” with a description of the required lowered sequence.

Summary
A class expression returned from a function (a mixin/factory —
function withCommands(Base) { return class extends Base {}; }) had noper-evaluation identity when the function was declared in a non-entry
module: every call returned the SAME class object, re-parented to the
most recently passed
Base. Declared in the entry module, the same shapealready worked correctly. redis's
commander.jsattachConfig(Class = class extends BaseClass {}), called once withBaseClass: RedisClientandagain with
BaseClass: RedisClientMultiCommand, hits exactly this:new Client(options)ran the wrong parent constructor andcreateClient()returned an object that wasn't
instanceof RedisClient.Root cause
Two existing, correct mechanisms cover this pattern today, and the bug is
the gap between them:
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/lower_expr/arm_class.rs)routes a class expression to a fresh-per-evaluation heap object
(
Expr::ClassExprFresh) only when it has per-evaluation statics,computed keys, captures, a static block, private elements, or a
self-binding. A class expression that's only dynamically-parented
(
class extends Base {}, no body) has none of those, so it takes thecheaper shared-template path:
Expr::Sequence([RegisterClassParentDynamic, ClassRef(name)]). Every evaluation re-registers the SAME sharedtemplate's dynamic parent — correct if there's only ever one live
evaluation, wrong the moment two evaluations' results are both still in
use.
specialize_captured_class_factories(
crates/perry-transform/src/inline/factory_specialize.rs) existsprecisely to close that gap: for each
Let { init: Call(factory_fn, args) }call site, it clones the factory's returned class into adistinct, per-call-site class definition, so
localWithCommands(A)andlocalWithCommands(B)end up as two entirely separate classes with noshared state. This is why the entry-module case in the issue already
worked.
The gap:
specialize_captured_class_factoriesruns per module and onlywalks
Let/call-site shapes inside the module the factoryCalltextuallyappears in. A caller in a different module reaches the factory through an
ordinary cross-module function call — the pass never sees that call site
(it isn't a local
Let{init: Call(fn_id,..)}inside the factory's ownmodule), so no specialization happens, and the factory keeps returning the
one shared, mutable template.
The fix
Rather than extending the per-module call-site pass to reach across module
boundaries (a much bigger, more architecturally invasive change — cross-module
factory-target propagation and cross-module class cloning), give the
factory itself real per-evaluation identity when it's reachable from
outside its module. New pass
fresh_export_dynamic_heritage_factories(
crates/perry-transform/src/inline/factory_specialize.rs, called rightafter
specialize_captured_class_factoriesininline/mod.rs): for everyexported function whose body is exactly the single-statement shape
Sequence([RegisterClassParentDynamic { class_name, .. }, ClassRef(class_name)])— i.e.
return class extends <expr> {};with nothing else — upgrade thetrailing
ClassReftoClassExprFreshwith all fields empty. That'sexactly what the same class expression would already have lowered to had
it needed per-evaluation statics/captures/a private brand — every one of
those is guaranteed empty here by construction (any of them would already
have forced the
ClassExprFreshroute at lowering time, so a class thatstill presents as a bare
ClassRefnever had them).This is deliberately narrow:
keeps going through the existing, cheaper same-module specialization
unchanged, exactly as before.
repro pattern). A
Let-bound intermediate variable(
function ViaConst(B) { const K = class extends B {}; return K; }),computed-name evaluations, or Effect's object-literal wrapper shape are
untouched and still rely on same-module specialization only — they don't
yet get cross-module correctness. Noting this as a known remaining gap
rather than expanding scope;
specialize_captured_class_factories's ownfile has ~1000 lines of care around these variants, and extending it to a
true cross-module pass looked like it would exceed a surgical fix.
specialize_captured_class_factories, so same-module callsites that already got cloned by that pass are unaffected — a locally
specialized call site never actually calls the factory function at
runtime at all (the
Callis replaced outright with the clone'sClassRef), so mutating the factory's own body afterward is moot forthose callers.
Tests
New gap test

test-files/gap_10455_class_expr_factory_identity_helper.ts. Covers: aclass expression returned from a function in the entry module (control,

that the two results are distinct objects, that
instanceofand inheritedmethods resolve against the right parent), and three sequential calls at
the same cross-module call site inside a loop (pairwise distinct, each
instance matches its own parent). Node oracle (26.5.1) is the byte-for-byte
target; on the pristine
mainbaseline (0058babd83) this branch's binarydiverges (identity collapses to
false, wrong constructor runs, loopdistinctness is
false); on this branch it's byte-identical to Node.PERRY_SKIP_BUILD=1 ./run_parity_tests.sh --filter test_gap_10455_class_expr_factory_identityreports PASS. Also re-ran thetwo existing tests in this exact neighborhood,
test_gap_5952_mixin_factory_bindingandtest_gap_6356_dynamic_parent_mixin_chain(same-module specialization,untouched by this change) — both still PASS.
While building the test I found one adjacent, pre-existing gap I
deliberately left out of the committed test: re-constructing an EARLIER
evaluation's stored class value (
new ClientA(), called again) after aLATER evaluation of the same exported factory has already run elsewhere
still constructs correctly (runs the right parent's constructor — this
part is fixed), but a subsequent
instanceofcheck against the earlierevaluation's own parent can still read the shared template's current
(most-recently-registered) dynamic parent rather than that instance's own.
Repro:
const Alias = 0; /* pseudo */ const C1 = fresh(A); const inst1 = new C1(); const C2 = fresh(B); const again = new C1(); again instanceof Bprints
trueon this branch (should befalse) even thoughagain'sconstructor genuinely ran
A. This looks like the same family of issuethat PR #10614/#10592 (native-base subclass prototype identity, the
class-chain walk for
instanceof) are working on —instanceof'sclass-chain walk (
class_chain_reaches/js_get_dynamic_parent_value,crates/perry-runtime/src/object/instanceof.rs) appears to resolve adynamic parent by class id (shared per template), not per the specific
ClassExprFreshinstance, whilesuper()construction itself alreadycorrectly uses per-evaluation data. I did not chase this further — it's a
different code path (
instanceof, not construction) and a different rootcause than #10455's identity bug; the issue's own repro and this PR's test
don't exercise that ordering (checking
instanceofonly ever immediatelyafter each evaluation's own construction, never after a later
evaluation's construction has already run), so I believe this PR closes
#10455 as filed.
