feat: SSO string slots + consuming concat in-place append - #145

Conversation
ensure_heap promoted inline strings in a scratch slot whose triple never reached the owner's free path, so the promoted heap buffer leaked (Valgrind: 16 bytes definitely lost in the slice/bytes fixtures). Named bindings now spill, call, reload, and def_var back into their FatLocals (the str_push write-back shape); field bases promote in place at the field address so the struct drop frees the buffer; anonymous temporaries re-cache the promoted triple their scheduled Free reads; static .rodata bases skip the call entirely. Field slices also registered their projection on the field-access instruction instead of the struct, so the struct could drop (or its field be reassigned) while the view was still live — masked by the leak above. projection_root now resolves a str/bytes field base to the struct root owner, and FieldAssign checks the target root's live projections before freeing the old field buffer. Slicing a borrowed param whose argument is inline still leaks the unowned promotion buffer — tracked as I-176.
The FieldAssign target freeze keyed on the struct root, so a sibling- field reassign (v = p.a[0:1]; p.b = "z") was wrongly rejected as SourceProjected even though it frees a buffer the view never pointed into. Field projections still register on the struct root — whole- struct drop/move/reassign threatens every field's buffer — but now also record their field-index path (projection_fields, monotone like root_owner; Var copies and reslices inherit the aliased view's path). The FieldAssign check fires only when a live projection's path starts with the assigned field's path, which also covers reassigning a struct-typed parent field (p.inner = ... drops inner's old fields recursively). Also pins a comment on the promote-on-view write-back fall-through (the borrowed-param leak class and why the free can't just be added) and fixes a stale file pointer in ISSUES.md.
emit_ensure_heap_for_view_base now branches on the runtime inline tag (cap word top byte 0x80|len) instead of always spilling and calling the family ensure_heap: inline bases take the spill/promote/reload/ write-back path unchanged, heap and static bases pass their (ptr, len) straight to the merge block. The merge carries the full triple so an anonymous temporary's cached repr dominates both paths for its scheduled free. The compile-time static-skip (iconst-0 cap) stays as an early return. string_slicing: 5.7 -> 5.1 ms (baseline before promote-on-view: 4.9).
Resolves I-171, I-175. Also ignores the .pyscn tool cache in struct_records, following the suite .gitignore's existing __pycache__/ pattern.

In `@benchmarks/doubling_concat/README.md`:
- Line 29: Update the measurement note so every candidate’s timing and “vs
fastest” comparison comes from the same execution protocol and conditions;
either rerun all candidates consistently or publish the complete batch results.
Remove or revise the unsupported “still the fastest arm” claim, and retain the
RSS value only if measured under that same protocol.
In `@benchmarks/string_slicing/README.md`:
- Line 46: Update the measurement note near the checkpoint table to report
separate uncertainty values for Ryo AOT and Ryo JIT, matching the table’s 5.1 ms
± 0.2 and 7.4 ms ± 0.7 entries, or explicitly define the abbreviated uncertainty
notation so it is unambiguous.
In `@benchmarks/struct_records_inout/README.md`:
- Line 22: The README’s claim that inout beats keep-original “by exactly the
clone it avoids” is overstated because the compared benchmarks perform different
post-update scoring work. Revise the comparison in the struct_records_inout
discussion to compare equal score calls, or remove the “by exactly the clone it
avoids” wording while preserving the surrounding performance summary.
In `@ryo-backend/src/codegen/expr.rs`:
- Around line 858-874: Allocate a fresh scratch stack slot for every extraction
that may survive nested evaluation instead of reusing cached operand slots.
Update emit_fat_bytes_ptr_len, eval_str_or_view_parts, and eval_str_or_view_len
and their call sites to remove the operand selector, remove inline_scratch and
its FunctionContext storage, and eliminate the now-unused ctx parameter while
preserving StrConcat, StrCmpEq/StrCmpNe, BytesConcat, and emit_bytes_eq
behavior.
In `@ryo-backend/src/codegen/views.rs`:
- Around line 1-218: Update emit_ensure_heap_for_view_base to track buffers
promoted from borrowed inline str/bytes parameters as callee-owned temporaries,
rather than relying on the parameter’s normal Free scheduling. Release each
tracked promotion at the view’s last use, while preserving the existing behavior
for caller-owned heap buffers so they are never freed by the callee.
In `@ryo-frontend/src/ownership/tests/structs.rs`:
- Around line 248-250: Update the allowed-program assertions in
ryo-frontend/src/ownership/tests/structs.rs at lines 248-250 and 276-278 to
reject any diagnostic with Severity::Error, while preserving the existing

Track and release promotions for borrowed view bases.
When a borrowed inline str or bytes parameter reaches emit_ensure_heap_for_view_base through Slice or ToView, the function calls __ryo_str_ensure_heap or __ryo_bytes_ensure_heap on a callee-local stack slot. The promoted triple is written to FatLocals, but borrowed parameters do not receive a scheduled Free. The allocated buffer therefore remains unreachable after the call. Repeated calls leak one promotion buffer per inline argument. Track the promotion as a callee-owned temporary and release it at the view's last use without freeing caller-owned heap buffers.

CodSpeed flagged two regressions on the string-runtime rework; both are the intended space-for-time trade landing on each benchmark's worst case, not defects: - string_slicing: +48.8% peak allocated with an unchanged allocation count — growth_cap's next-power-of-two rounding makes each doubling concat buffer 64*2^i instead of 43*2^i bytes (64/43 = 1.488 exactly). Headroom can never be reused by a doubling pattern, so it is pure cost here; it does not reach process RSS. - eager_destruction: instrumented wall time -31% under CodSpeed's memory mode, but bare-metal hyperfine shows Ryo AOT as the fastest arm (2.0 ms, 1.50-1.57x over both Rust arms). RSS grew 2.86 -> 5.11 MB because address-taken inline slots enlarge each of the 50k live recursion frames ~45 B; the memory lead over scope-based Rust narrows from 2.90x to 1.62x. eager_destruction gains a re-measured checkpoint table and corrected takeaways; string_slicing keeps its existing table and gets the tradeoff note only.
Reproduced the 'Observing the Crash' claim on the current build: - Rust (both arms) survives 74,556 but aborts at 74,600 with a clean stack-overflow diagnostic — the README claimed a crash at 74,556. - Ryo now segfaults at ~210k frames, not the claimed 260k — SSO's larger address-taken frames lowered the ceiling from 3.5x to 2.8x deeper than Rust. - New finding: Ryo hits the guard page blind (SIGSEGV, no message) where Rust aborts cleanly; filed as I-177.
Disassembling recursive() showed an 80 B/frame layout driving the first-touch cache misses CodSpeed flagged: tail-position calls are plain calls (I-178: emit return_call for O(1) stack), slot-out results are copied into a second slot (I-179: write into the binding's slot directly), and provably-inline producers still pay slot-out plus a no-op tagged free (I-180: max-output-length annotation, return by value, elide the free).
Disassembly of string_slicing's count_fox showed two ~9-instruction funnel-shift sequences per scan iteration to unpack (ptr, len) halves that already sit in separate registers — ~12.6M wasted instructions over the 700k-iteration scan. Inlining the slice/eq bodies won't remove it while values flow as packed i128.
u128 and a repr(C) two-u64 struct return in the same register pair on aarch64/x86-64 SysV, so the runtime signatures can be un-packed at no boundary cost; the legalization noise comes from the i128 type, not the ABI. Resolution updated to end-to-end removal with a Windows x64 struct-return caveat.
…d nested operands The per-function two-slot inline-extraction cache (operand 0/1) let a nested evaluation overwrite a spill whose pointer was still live: a + (b + c) with all-inline (SSO) operands computed "223" instead of "123", and x == (y + z) miscompared when the rhs held a nested concat — the inner extraction re-spilled the outer operand's slot before the outer call read through it. emit_fat_bytes_ptr_len now allocates a fresh 24-byte slot per extraction; the operand selector and the inline_scratch cache are gone from FunctionContext and all 21 call sites. Adds an end-to-end regression test (nested inline concat + eq) and re-baselines the two CLIF slot-discipline pins (string 5 -> 8, bytes 6 -> 9 slots) with comments matching the new per-site discipline.
…tions - doubling_concat: re-publish the checkpoint from a single-protocol full-suite run (AOT 3.7 ms ties Rust 3.7 ms) instead of mixing a quiet AOT re-run with loaded-batch numbers for the other arms. - string_slicing: spell out per-arm uncertainties (AOT/JIT) in the measurement note. - struct_records_inout: drop the 'exactly the clone it avoids' claim — the reuse suite also scores twice per round and keeps both records alive. - ownership tests: the two allowed-program assertions now reject any Severity::Error diagnostic, not just SourceProjected, matching the idiom used elsewhere in the file.
The AOT pipeline writes <name>.obj on Windows and <name>.o elsewhere (pipeline.rs get_output_filenames); the shared relink helper hardcoded .o, so every integration_sso test failed to link on Windows CI with FileNotFound. The helper's other users (ASan/Valgrind smoke tests) are Linux-only, which is why the mismatch went unnoticed.

…destruction
The README claimed TCO ('Infinite Stack-Safety', 'allowing the compiler
to optimize the stack frames', 'true tail position') but codegen emits
a normal call + return and materializes every frame — the finite ~208k
depth ceiling proves it. Reword both spots: SSO's contribution is that
short strings never touch the heap (nothing to free), which puts the
call in tail position; tail-call lowering is tracked separately.

Summary
Coordinated string-runtime redesign landing small-string optimization and in-place string building:
str/bytesslots: top byte of the cap word distinguishes inline (≤23B, data lives in the slot), heap (with growth headroom), and static (.rodata literal,cap==0). The tag is written byte-23-only — offsets 16–22 are data for len 17–23.from_view, and concat write results into caller-provided slots, producing inline strings directly; concat allocates with next-pow2 headroom when heap is needed.ensure_heap, with the promoted triple written back to owner storage); a codegen tag branch lets heap/static bases bypass the extern call entirely.s = s + suffixis the last use ofs(Valid owner, no live views, rhs not aliasing), codegen appends in place via__ryo_str_pushand skips the reassign free.s = s + sstays on the allocating path.Benchmarks (2026-09-14 checkpoints)
