Closes #10890.

Effect's tagged-error factory sets Base.prototype.name on a fresh class evaluation. Perry could instead read a shared template prototype, and nested constructor replay could replace the instance's class pin with a deeper Error ancestor. The result was a generated class name or Error instead of the tag.

This change keeps runtime heritage for function-local classes, uses the evaluated parent prototype, preserves the first constructor pin, and resolves inherited fields through that pinned evaluation. A parity fixture covers separate tags, String(error), and Effect's nested Data.Error shape.

Validation:

The existing test_gap_9440_error_name_ownership inspection mismatch also reproduces with the baseline compiler; this patch does not change it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed inherited name resolution for errors created through factory-generated and nested class inheritance patterns.
    • Preserved the evaluated superclass and most-derived class identity during construction.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Perry now preserves evaluated factory-created class heritage and the first constructing-class pin. Runtime property lookup checks the evaluated prototype chain before the shared class registry. New tests cover tagged error name, instanceof, fields, and String() output.

Preserve evaluated class heritage
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/lower_expr/arm_class.rs, crates/perry-hir/src/lower_decl/class_decl/from_ast.rs
Class lowering keeps runtime heritage for eligible function-scoped class expressions. Classes without static methods use fresh class objects; static classes retain the shared-template path.

Runtime code preserves the first constructing-class pin, searches the evaluated prototype chain, prioritizes dynamic parent prototypes, and roots prototype bits during lookup.
Validate tagged error scenarios

Tests cover direct, factory-created, wrapped, nested, and Effect-style tagged errors. The changelog records the corrected inherited name behavior and parity coverage.

Route dynamic-heritage classes through ClassExprFresh.

When parent_expr.is_some() and has_static_methods is true, arm_class.rs:313 uses the shared ClassRef path. Its dynamic parent is stored by template class ID, so a later factory evaluation can replace the parent used by an earlier class. Inherited fields such as Base.prototype.name can then come from the wrong parent.

ClassExprFresh already preserves static-method dispatch through the template class ID and binds the actual fresh object as this. Remove the static-method exclusion. Do not add a second static-method installation path.

Suggested fix
-    let has_static_methods = !class.static_methods.is_empty();
     ctx.pending_classes.push(class);
@@
-            // The shared path remains for class
-            // expressions with static methods until those methods can be
-            // installed on fresh class objects.
-            || (parent_expr.is_some() && !has_static_methods))

Pass the instance address to proxy prototype lookup.

resolve_inherited_field_from_prototype uses its first argument as the receiver for Proxy traps. This branch passes decl_proto as usize, so the trap receives the declaration prototype instead of the instance.

Use the canonical heap-address predicate.

A reachable prototype value can pass is_above_handle_band without being a valid heap object. The traversal then passes that value to try_read_gc_header before validating it as a heap address. Use is_plausible_heap_addr for this classification.

Exercise the nested Effect-specific fields.

The nested path does not read the inherited ast, static _tag, or String() output. Add these checks for both nested errors. This fixture does not declare providerID, so that check does not apply here.

Holding this out of the merge trains: one gap regression on this head (8cd106ec42, run 35757712681, shard 1, Crashed: 0):

REGRESSIONS — these were expected to pass:
  - test_gap_9440_error_name_ownership: pass -> parity_fail

That test is about who owns Error#name, which is close enough to "preserve Effect tagged error names across class evaluations" that it reads as this PR's own change rather than fallout — most likely the tagged name is now installed somewhere that makes it an own property where the test expects it inherited (or the reverse). Reproduce with:

./scripts/run_gap_tests.sh --filter test_gap_9440_error_name_ownership

Separately, for the record: the four other regressions I had been bisecting across this group are all #11012's, not yours — see #11012. Once this one test is back to pass I'll take this PR in the next train.

Landed on main in merge train 268 (#11119), released as v0.5.1651 at 36892b7194.

Four of this train's seven PRs — including this one, if it is #11055, #11023, #11012 or #11014 — were repaired here because they were stuck: the fixes were cherry-picked from fix/<PR>-ci branches built in this session, which is also how fork-hosted heads get landed without their authors. CI on the assembled tree was 22/22 green, all 6 gap-suite shards.

A train rebase gives the commits new SHAs, so GitHub cannot auto-close the source PR; closing by hand. Nothing needed from you.
