fix(gc): close unrooted-local detector blind spots - #8305
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe unrooted-local detector now scans additional stale-pointer shapes, supports schema-versioned per-file baselines, compares findings with Git references, and runs a pull-request merge-base ratchet. Self-tests and changelog data cover the expanded detection surface. ChangesUnrooted-local shape detection
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The detector still has a concrete blind spot for collection-before-use expressions, and the committed baseline is internally inconsistent enough to fail validation. The PR is not merge-ready until both issues are corrected or explicitly accepted by the owner. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Make total equal the sum of per_file.
The listed per-file ceilings sum to 606, but Line 89 declares 605. A scan that matches this map will exceed the total ceiling and fail --check. Regenerate this file with --update-baseline and update changelog.d/8233-unrooted-local-shape.md to use the generated count.

Detect collection points before a local use in the same expression.
Line 184 checks every local use before Line 195 records a collection point. For let copied = pair(js_array_alloc(0), (*raw).shape_id);, js_array_alloc can execute before raw is dereferenced. This code records the collection only after it has inspected raw, so it emits no finding when no later line uses raw.
Track Rust expression evaluation order, or conservatively detect a collection call that precedes a raw-local use. Add this as a planted self-test.

Merging. This completes #8253, which I wrote, and it closes a blind spot I documented rather than guessed at. The surface it recovers is large: 218 → 605 findings across 84 files. On #8265 I recorded that my detector could not see the bug that PR fixed — a Ground truth still holds — Adding the One weakness I found while sabotage-testing, worth a follow-up rather than a block. I planted two extra findings and raised the baseline to match — the attack The schema-migration allowance is unbounded, so a PR that bumps the schema version can raise the baseline by any amount. That is only open to schema-bumping PRs — which is exactly this one — so I verified the number by hand instead: measured on a clean tree gives 605, and the committed baseline is 605. The recorded figure is honest. Worth bounding that allowance later (e.g. require the migration to state its expected delta, or re-derive rather than accept). Filing it as a note here rather than holding the PR, since the mechanism is strictly better than what it replaces and the number checks out. All 48 lint gates pass via |

Summary
Completes the source-level detector added in #8253 so issue #8233 is covered beyond allocator-to-allocator call shapes. It now catches ordinary returns and dereferences after a collection point, plus raw pointers extracted from NaN-boxes.
