Fixes #10743. Stacked on #10746 (base 2b2b89063), which is stacked on #10731.

a[i] += 1 and a[i] = a[i] + 1 are the same operation. perry compiled them 11.3× apart, and the slow one was the idiomatic spelling.

Measured

Per element, fitted N=10,000→50,000, three interleaved rounds per arm.

row base fix node
a[i] += 1 277.05 25.46 16.9
a[i] -= 1 208.05 27.45 16.9
a[i] += b[i] 347.05 35.86 25.8
a[i] *= 1 206.05 25.45 15.1
a[i] |= 0 236.05 52.46 12.7
a[i] = a[i] + 1 24.45 24.46
a[i] = a[i] + b[i] 35.86 35.86
Array read / write 13.48 / 17.45 13.48 / 17.45
Float64Array read / write, bare loop 6.03 / 8.03 / 4.03 unchanged

a[i] += b[i] now costs exactly what a[i] = a[i] + b[i] costs — 35.86 against 35.86.

The flat rows are flat by construction, not by measurement: each fixture was compiled with both compilers and the emitted LLVM IR is byte-identical for all seven. Only the five compound fixtures differ.

The fix is in the matcher, not the lowering

The temporaries cannot be removed. The specification requires the base and key to be evaluated once, and a getter or call in the right-hand side can reassign the bindings they came from:

let i = 0; const a = [10, 20];
a[i] += (() => { i = 1; return 5; })();   // must store at index 0

So packed_f64_range_loop_compound_alias_fold recognises the HIR shape [Let __cmpd_*, Let __cmpd_*, store] and retries the existing classic walk on the folded statement. PackedF64RangeLoop gains a fast_body; the guarded clones lower it, and the slow clone always lowers the statements as written.

The fold is exact inside the matched subset because packed_f64_range_loop_pure_expr_collect is a whitelist that admits no call, closure, await, update or assignment — so nothing inside the matched body can write the locals the aliases read. The HIR shape was verified with --print-hir before building on it.

This needs none of #10741's mid-iteration side-exit discipline, because the aliases perform no stores.

sim does not move, and neither do the other four

Stated plainly because it is the point of the exercise. Per-op across three interleaved rounds, sim is 534915 / 534916 / 534916 on base against 534916 / 534915 / 534916 on fix. That is zero, not noise.

The compiler's own trace says why: sim still reports 3× body_not_admissible. Its inner loop is five statements with two ifs. This change admits a body whose extra statements are aliases; it does not admit one whose extra statements do things. That remains #10741.

I nearly reported the opposite. A first pass showed tok −2.9%, graph −4.0%, records −2.6% — on an arm where zero folds fired, because the base arm had been served a stale object out of node_modules/.cache/perry. Interleaved rounds with PERRY_NO_CACHE=1 made all five deltas vanish.

A new diagnostic, which closes a real gap

PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1 now prints admitted: compound_assign_alias_fold. The existing traces only reported declines, so there was no way to show that a fixture had reached a guarded path — which is precisely the gap behind #10746's GC stress passing 60 runs while proving nothing about the guard it appeared to cover.

Correctness

25 differential fixtures pass on both arms with byte-identical results files. 20 of them actually exercise the fold; the five that do not are the evaluation-order tests, and their folds=0 is the result — a call in the RHS is rejected before the fold is tried.

sabotage effect
S5 — remove #10746's per-store value check 27 SIGABRTs / 0 unsabotaged, from-space scan naming a survivor-space array holding an un-evacuated nursery pointer through a never-dirtied slot. Numeric-only control aborts 0/7. The compound path does not bypass the write barrier.
S6 — neuter the loop-entry guard 4 fixtures red, all through the fold: own accessor, non-writable index, frozen/sealed, frozen + strict
S0 — disable the fold end-to-end test red — the fails-without-the-change witness
S1 red at both unit and IR level

Three guards are unwitnessed, and one of them matters

The __cmpd_ name test (S2) and the initialiser grammar (S3) are scoping restrictions with unit-test witnesses only.

S4 is the one to look at: lowering the folded body in the slow clone as well turns nothing red. Keeping the spec-ordered statements there rests on the argument alone, not on a test. It is also the arm that would recover the remaining 1-instruction residue on a[i] += 1 (25.46 against the expanded form's 24.46) — deliberately not taken.

The sabotage matrix also caught a defect in the new test itself: a fill loop beside the compound loop satisfied the assertion regardless of the fold, so the no-fold arm went green. Fixed — the module now holds one loop and counts guard calls rather than block labels.

Gates

Node identity 92 / 1 / 0 on both arms with byte-identical results, the one diff being realsuite/nest (#10733, pre-existing). perry-codegen lib 1650/0 including the barrier stem census and its four sabotage twins — green with no probe change needed, unlike #10746. perry-hir 765/0. perry-runtime 4078/0. Clippy 470 = 470 with identical per-category counts. cargo fmt, check_file_size.sh, gc_runtime_root_holders.py and local_binding_type_audit.py clean and identical on both arms. GC stress 35 runs per arm, 34 with a real evacuating scan, 0 failures. Peak RSS worst case +0.60%.

Note for anyone reproducing: perry pairs a compiler with its runtime archive by source hash, so the two arms need separate trees — a shared one makes each arm break the other's linking.

… every element access (PerryTS#10718)

An indexed read on an ordinary `Array` cost 87 instructions per element,
against 6 for the identical arithmetic on a `Float64Array` and 16 for node.
None of it was a runtime call: callgrind attributes 88.3 instructions per
element to straight-line code in `main`, of which **56 are loop-invariant
receiver revalidation** re-executed every iteration — the NaN-box tag and
handle-band test, the forwarding-flag follow, and a six-load live-head guard
that re-reads gc_type, gc_flags, obj_flags, a volatile invalidation flag,
length and capacity.

perry already has tiers that hoist exactly this proof into the loop
preheader and version the loop. They were declining at a single gate in
`stmt/loops.rs` — `array_static_type_excluded` — a **declared static type**
test sitting in front of a tier that is otherwise fully runtime-guarded.
`const a: number[] = new Array(400)` reached it and measured 13.4; plain
`new Array(400)` infers `Array<any>` and did not, so ordinary JavaScript
never got the tier it already had.

Separately, and larger: `a[i] += 1` cost 948 instructions per element, 3.7x
the identical `a[i] = a[i] + 1`, and a type annotation did not help.
`lower/expr_assign.rs` minted the compound-assignment spill temporaries as
`Type::Any`, erasing the receiver's array-ness and the index's
integer-ness before codegen could see the statement — which is why no
annotation could recover it. The temporaries now carry the operand types.

  Array read          87.0 -> 13.5   (node 16.3 — perry now wins 1.21x)
  a[i] += 1            948 ->  273
  a[i] += b[i]        1025 ->  347
  bare loop            4.0 ->  4.0   unchanged to the instruction
  Float64Array r/w   6.0/8.0 -> 6.0/8.0   unchanged to the instruction

A particle simulation over four numeric arrays spends 60.9% fewer
instructions (41.21 G -> 16.12 G) and 59% less peak RSS.

The widened tier initially regressed a numeric window inside an otherwise
non-numeric array by 33%, because the array-wide layout walk runs per loop
entry. A window-scoped layout proof is used as a second chance after that
walk declines; both shapes are now 12-13% wins, and arrays that are
non-numeric from slot 0 are unchanged to the instruction.

…ent stores (PerryTS#10718)

An indexed write cost 105 instructions per element with zero runtime calls;
51 of them were loop-invariant receiver revalidation and 42 was a write-barrier
decision provable away from the value type. This widens the store admission the
way PerryTS#10731 widened reads.

a[i] = k + i 105 -> 17.4, a[i] = a[i] + 1 256 -> 24.5, a[i] = a[i] + b[i]
333 -> 35.9. The bare loop, both Float64Array paths and the indexed read are
unchanged to the instruction.

The barrier-stem census probe for idxset.recv_global gains a second statement:
the widened tier made its loop qualify, which would have left that stem with no
live witness. A future multi-statement store tier must re-shape the probe, not
delete it.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01YaNfLEjMRdhCLtk3SB5MdJ
…already had (PerryTS#10743)

Fixes PerryTS#10743. Stacked on PerryTS#10746 (`2b2b89063`), which contains PerryTS#10731.

`a[i] += 1` and `a[i] = a[i] + 1` are the same operation and node compiles both
to the same cost. perry compiled them 11x apart -- 277 instructions per element
against 24 -- and the slow one was the idiomatic spelling.

HIR's `hoist_compound_member_assign` lowers a compound member assignment into two
immutable alias `Let`s plus the store, so the base and the key are each evaluated
exactly once and before the right-hand side. `packed_f64_range_loop_body_collect`
admits exactly ONE statement, so the lowering guaranteed the statement could
never reach the tier that makes the expanded form fast. Annotating the array
changed nothing: the obstacle is the statement count, not type information.

The temporaries stay. They are load-bearing -- an RHS call can reassign the
bindings they were read from, and the store must still land at the index
evaluated before it ran (`a[i] += (() => { i = 2; return 5; })()`). So the fold
is in the MATCHER, and it applies only to the guarded fast clones: the slow clone
lowers the statements as written, so a failed guard and every side exit still
execute the specified evaluation order.

Inside the matched subset the fold is exact, because
`packed_f64_range_loop_pure_expr_collect` is a whitelist that admits no call,
closure, `await`, update or assignment anywhere in the statement -- nothing can
write the locals the aliases read. This needs none of PerryTS#10741's mid-iteration
side-exit discipline: the folded-away statements perform no stores, so there is
nothing to un-do when a guard fails partway.

Per element, fitted across N=10,000 -> 50,000, three interleaved rounds per arm:

  a[i] += 1      277.05 -> 25.46   (node 16.9)
  a[i] -= 1      208.05 -> 27.45   (node 16.9)
  a[i] += b[i]   347.05 -> 35.86   (node 25.8) -- now exactly a[i] = a[i] + b[i]
  a[i] *= 1      206.05 -> 25.45   (node 15.1)
  a[i] |= 0      236.05 -> 52.46   (node 12.7)

The bare loop, both `Float64Array` rows, the indexed read and write and both
expanded spellings are unchanged -- their emitted LLVM IR is byte-identical
between arms, which is a stronger witness than a flat fitted number.

It moves none of the five real programs in PerryTS#10695, and the compiler's own trace
says why: `sim` still reports 3 x `body_not_admissible`, because its inner loop
is five statements containing two `if`s. This admits a body whose extra
statements are compound-assign ALIASES, not a body whose extra statements do
things. That remains PerryTS#10741.

New diagnostic: `PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1` prints
`[range-loop] admitted: compound_assign_alias_fold`. The existing traces report
only DECLINES, so there was no way to show that a fixture claiming to exercise a
guarded path actually reached it -- the exact gap that let PerryTS#10746 ship a GC
stress whose fixtures were all declined before the guard under test ran.

Correctness: 25 differential fixtures (evaluation order with a side-effecting
RHS, getters and setters on the array / on `Array.prototype` / on the index, a
prototype getter that truncates, deletes from or freezes the array mid-loop,
frozen and sealed in sloppy and strict mode, a non-writable index, holes, out of
bounds, past `length`, non-number elements, string `+=`, heap-reference stores,
offset and affine indices, module-global receivers, typed arrays, and all
fifteen compound operators) pass on both arms with byte-identical results.

Guard sabotage: removing the per-store numeric-bits value check produces 27
SIGABRTs across seven heap-limit seeds under `PERRY_GC_FROMSPACE_SCAN_ABORT=1`
(0 unsabotaged), with the from-space scan naming a survivor-space array holding
an un-evacuated nursery pointer through a slot that was never marked dirty -- so
this path does not bypass PerryTS#10746's write barrier, it is the same check on the
same store. Neutering the loop-entry guard turns four fixtures red, all of them
through the fold. The `mutable: false` condition is witnessed by a unit test and
an IR test; the `__cmpd_` name test and the initialiser grammar are scoping
restrictions with unit-test witnesses only, and lowering the folded body in the
slow clone as well turns nothing red -- all three are stated as unwitnessed in
the report rather than claimed.

Gates: node identity 92 identical / 1 diff / 0 compile-fail on both arms with
byte-identical results files (the diff is the pre-existing PerryTS#10733 `nest`
defect); `perry-codegen` lib 1650 pass including the barrier stem census and its
four sabotage twins, with NO census probe change needed; `perry-hir` green;
clippy 470 = 470 with identical per-category counts; `cargo fmt`,
`check_file_size.sh`, `gc_runtime_root_holders.py` and
`local_binding_type_audit.py` clean and identical on both arms; peak RSS worst
case +0.60%.

Separately, `a[i] += 1` cost **948** instructions per element, 3.7× the identical `a[i] = a[i] + 1`, and no annotation helped: the compound-assignment spill temporaries were minted as `Type::Any`, erasing the receiver's array-ness and the index's integer-ness before codegen saw the statement.

Array read **87 → 13.5** (node 16.3), `a[i] += 1` **948 → 273**, `a[i] += b[i]` **1025 → 347**. A particle simulation over four numeric arrays spends **60.9% fewer instructions** and **59% less peak RSS**. The bare loop and both `Float64Array` paths are unchanged to the instruction.

Remove the stale compound-assignment claims from the 10718 fragments.

The release script concatenates every numeric changelog.d/ fragment present at the release SHA. The 10718 fragments therefore publish intermediate compound-assignment behavior alongside 10743. Remove the compound-assignment paragraph and metrics from 10718-array-index-hoist.md, and remove the sentence stating that a[i] += 1 is unaffected from 10718-array-store-hoist.md. Keep the indexed-read and store-hoisting claims.

Emit the folded-candidate trace only after successful construction.

The folded-body check can succeed, but later access-set, binding, window, affine, store, and static-type gates can still return None. With PERRY_PACKED_LOOP_TRACE=1, the current code can therefore print admitted: compound_assign_alias_fold for a candidate that the matcher rejects. Preserve the fold state, for example with fast_body.is_some(), and emit this trace immediately before the final Some(PackedF64RangeLoop { ... }). The existing range_loop_reject calls retain diagnostics for each failed gate.

Avoid the repeated full-array rebuild before the window proof.

For a mixed array without a numeric layout flag, rebuild_array_numeric_raw_f64_allow_holes scans the full array and clears the layout flag when it finds a non-numeric slot. The fallback then scans the requested window. Each later loop entry repeats both scans because the failed rebuild leaves no failed-proof state.

For an array with a string at index 399 and a loop over [0, 399), this performs about 799 slot reads per entry instead of a window-only scan. Cache a failed whole-array proof, or dispatch from maintained representation state, so later guards validate only the loop window. Invalidate that state when element writes can make the full array numeric again.

In `@crates/perry-runtime/src/typed_feedback.rs` around lines 1483 - 1485, Update
the typed-feedback guard around rebuild_array_numeric_raw_f64_allow_holes so a
failed whole-array numeric proof is cached or represented in maintained state,
allowing subsequent loop entries to validate only the requested window instead
of rescanning the full array; invalidate the cached failure when element writes
could make the array fully numeric again.

Landed via merge train 232 (#10780) as v0.5.1611dd00a00305.

This PR's commits are on main unmodified (the train rebases, so the SHAs changed; the trees did not). Closing because a train lands content rather than merging the source branch. Your stack landed whole — #10731, #10746 and #10752 together, since they cannot land apart.

Your CI reds were stale, not real. For the record, since they'd otherwise sit on this PR looking like your problem:

Both runs date from 2026-09-19 against a main that has moved four times since.

Validated on the assembled tree: nine cheap gates, cargo check --workspace --all-targets under -D warnings, all five pinned artifacts byte-identical before and after the sweep, six unit suites, and a nine-area gap sweep aimed at this stack's own subject — array 99, index 25, loop 17, numeric 15, typed_ 12, for_ 8, push 6, packed 2, compound 2 — zero unexplained regressions.

One pre-existing red is disclosed in the train body rather than buried: perry-hir's remedy_is_scoped_to_bundled_npm_shims is stale since train 231 removed the dayjs binding. It fails identically on main and has nothing to do with your change. Fix is in flight.

perf: a[i] += 1 costs 11.5x a[i] = a[i] + 1 — the compound lowering emits alias Lets that the one-statement loop matcher can never admit
