The method capture +contained 5,879 samples: `invokeWithCallFrame` appeared in 3,347 (56.9%) +inclusive stacks, while direct exclusive samples were distributed across +`MortalList.deferDecrementIfTracked` (3.6%), `enterCall` (2.3%), +`materializeLiteralPad` (1.8%), `isCurrentArgumentAlias` (1.7%), and +`methodArgsWithSelf` (1.0%). The corresponding collapsed CPU artifacts are +`/tmp/perf-handoff-closure-async-cpu.collapsed` +(`8e10250a6484887d6a19bf2e07d9a359a8db3fbddf54545de752eb67f280877b`) +and `/tmp/perf-handoff-method-async-cpu.collapsed` +(`653fb15c515a659f40d64fbf7e8cf2013ff3c7c304ba4ae15653631d41f6b9b7`). + +The follow-up HotSpot compilation/inlining captures used the same forced +60-second warmup/60-second workload shape, with +`-XX:+LogCompilation -XX:+PrintCompilation -XX:+PrintInlining`. Both completed +under their 180-second timeout. `invokeWithCallFrame` (370 bytecodes) and +`invokeCallable` reach C2 level 4 in both captures; the method capture also +reaches C2 level 4 for `methodArgsWithSelf` and `applyCachedMethod`. The shared +boundary is therefore not awaiting JIT promotion. Its large body still rejects +some general setup callees for inlining (`enterCall`, 250 bytecodes, and +`getWarningBitsForCode`, 128 bytecodes), but a forced-inlining tweak would not +by itself meet the measured 10% anchor gate. The raw compilation logs are +`/tmp/perf-handoff-closure-hotspot.xml` (32 MB) and +`/tmp/perf-handoff-method-hotspot.xml` (37 MB); the closure/method logs contain +80/57 process-wide deoptimization records respectively, so no individual +deoptimization is attributed to a candidate without a focused proof. + +This completes the JFR/call-layer, async CPU/allocation-selection, and JIT +activation evidence for the current source, but it does **not** justify a +production change yet: the direct helpers are individually below the 10% +anchor CPU gate. Next derive a non-overlapping Amdahl budget and a conservative +ownership/effect proof for a structural frame reduction; retain the generic +path unless aliasing, caller, dynamic-warning, closure-lifetime, control-flow, +and lvalue ownership are all proven. If no qualifying common case remains, +record the rejection and move to the next independently attributed cost rather +than adding a closure-only shortcut. + +The first independently checked method helper is rejected. The async capture's +3.6% `MortalList.deferDecrementIfTracked` exclusive CPU was reached through +`deferDecrementIfNotCaptured` while the workload creates a fresh blessed method +object. The sampled paths perform real selective-owner release and, in the +largest leaf stack, queue a deferred base release; they are not a redundant +inactive-lifecycle guard. Even a hypothetical complete removal has a maximum +method gain of about 1.037x, far short of the 4.6x gap. Do not weaken +`DESTROY`/weak-reference/refcount cleanup for this workload; continue with a +non-overlapping structural call-frame budget and an ownership proof. + +### Retained: reuse string-concat blessing eligibility (2026-09-11) + +The high-load string CPU capture identified `RuntimeScalarType.blessedId` as +936 of 3,509 exclusive async-profiler samples (26.7%), reached from the +warning-aware string-concatenation overload check. That path had already +obtained each resolved operand's effective blessing identity to decide binary +overload dispatch, then immediately repeated the same two queries solely to +decide whether stringification overload handling was needed. The new narrow +path reuses those two identities in `stringConcatWarnUninitialized`; tied +operands are still fetched first, overloaded operands still dispatch through +`OverloadContext`, and the general helper remains for all other callers. + +`string_concat_bless_id_fastpath.t` passes standard Perl and both PerlOnJava +backends, covering ordinary values, string overload, and a tied scalar whose +`FETCH` must run exactly once. The candidate full immutable `make` gate passed +in 4m07s; the detached exact parent (`aa5d3eb3b`) passed in 3m51s. Seven +alternating fresh-process candidate/parent string pairs under host load +averages initially near 9.81/12.91/11.85 produced ratios of 1.1107x, 1.0579x, +1.1554x, 1.0638x, 1.0784x, 1.0882x, and 1.0688x (median 1.0784x); every +engine warmup stabilized. Raw evidence is +`/tmp/perf-string-parent-candidate-20260911.json` +(`eb5e148fe302d1021a80eadbb4fb7234d5f628c4ba3e9f5cb9eb27a0fea564a4`). +This is a localized A/B retention result, not portfolio acceptance: applied +to the current 0.4300x string baseline it projects only about 0.464x Perl. +Recollect the complete portfolio after integrating several independent +material improvements; do not overstate this as string parity. + +A separate forced-60-second-warmup/60-second candidate capture confirms that +the remaining string-side blessing samples are no longer a reason to repeat +the same change: 429 of 3,503 samples (12.2%) came directly from the retained +two eligibility queries in `stringConcatWarnUninitialized`; the rest of the +aggregate `blessedId` samples are principally unary-minus overload checks. +The next visible costs are dynamically scoped warning/bytes-state lookup via +`PerlRuntime.current()`/`ThreadLocal.get` and ordinary string/substr work. +Do not elide warning or bytes lookup merely from static source appearance: +the runtime deliberately supports lexical-state changes through dynamic +compilation. The raw candidate profile is +`/tmp/perf-handoff-string-post-async-cpu.collapsed` +(`2c2a8ae1a4025ae859b786074e6a8bec037fa50b81a610b35777f05e4ba4f7da`). + +### Retained: lower small negative integer literals (2026-09-11) + +The same post-change string profile attributed 348 samples to generic +`MathOperators.unaryMinusWarnUnpropagated`, primarily for the constant `-24` +substring offset in the workload. A positive small integer literal is a raw +`NumberNode` only when the parser has not rewritten it through +`overload::constant`. The JVM emitter now lowers that narrow case directly to +the already-cached immutable negative integer literal, bypassing unnecessary +unary-overload eligibility and warning machinery. Non-integer, zero, large, +and `overload::constant`-rewritten operands retain the existing generic path. + +The permanent `unary_minus_literal_fastpath.t` covers the workload-shaped +offset, an underscored literal, and value preservation. It passed standard Perl +and both PerlOnJava backends. The candidate's immutable full `make` gate passed +in 3m51s, while an independently built detached immediate parent at +`c5ef17a6d` passed in 4m10s. Seven alternating fresh-JVM string pairs under +load averages 6.45/7.37/8.96 all favored the candidate: 1.1852x, 1.1431x, +1.1258x, 1.1367x, 1.1274x, 1.1147x, and 1.1148x candidate/parent median +throughput (median 1.1274x; geometric mean 1.1352x). Each pair required the +same semantic checksum. Raw evidence is +`/tmp/perf-negative-literal-parent-candidate-20260911.json` +(`ee7c9d5651ddb4b98b6bca693339bcdd765f658565c21b77f680f8b30c34b889`). +This is a localized retention result, not a new portfolio measurement or a +claim of parity. The next profile should rerank the candidate string artifact +before selecting another independent cost; do not extrapolate the paired gain +to every workload. + +### Retained: direct BMP substring-offset scan (2026-09-11) + +The next high-load CPU capture ranked +`PerlUtfString.scanOffsetByPerlCodePoints` among the visible string-workload +leaves. Its former loop constructed a `PerlStep` for every ordinary UTF-16 +code unit while locating `substr` offsets. The new scan advances directly over +code units below the surrogate range, which are each exactly one Perl logical +character. At the first surrogate or internal-marker lead it falls back to the +unchanged general decoder, preserving supplementary scalars, unpaired +surrogates, and product-codec markers. + +`substr_bmp_offset_fastpath.t` passes standard Perl and both PerlOnJava +backends, covering the workload-shaped ASCII negative offset, BMP offsets, and +supplementary-character boundaries. The candidate immutable full `make` gate +passed in 4m07s. The exact immediate-parent source `2a83a47f3` had previously +passed its primary-checkout full gate in 3m51s. Its detached-worktree rebuild +produced the benchmark JAR but failed the path-sensitive existing `unit/cwd.t`; +that environmental failure is not used as integration evidence. Seven +checksum-matched alternating fresh-JVM pairs nevertheless compared the exact +parent and candidate artifacts under load averages 6.31/7.29/8.78 and all +favored the candidate: 1.0809x, 1.0381x, 1.0404x, 1.0569x, 1.0714x, 1.0394x, +and 1.1095x candidate/parent median throughput (median 1.0569x; geometric +mean 1.0621x). Raw evidence is +`/tmp/perf-substr-bmp-parent-candidate-20260911.json` +(`fbe1641849e4d6df1b9023043f1e4356424d316c820ca0abc2b339bb9b7a4d25`). +This remains localized string evidence rather than a portfolio claim. Profile +the rebuilt candidate before choosing another target; do not bypass the +general Unicode decoder outside this proven direct-BMP scan. + +### Post-retained full portfolio under realistic load (2026-09-11) + +After both retained string changes, the default seven-pair, seven-workload +portfolio completed successfully. Every process had a matching semantic +checksum, stabilized warmup, and remained inside its 180-second timeout. The +runner records the source as clean `b6c2ef49f3a24535b866c9ca7bc132d9e7586104`. +The selected JAR SHA-256 was +`accfb817d9543690c3da65a4b7f038598d0bfb012b701f4d22868af54423c057`. +Its embedded generated build metadata predates the source commit, so retain +the artifact hash and source record together; do not describe this as a fresh +source/JAR-provenance acceptance baseline. + +The host deliberately remained under realistic contention (artifact load +averages 5.40/6.67/8.36). Consequently the portfolio marks itself +`protocol_compliant: true` but `conclusive: false`; analyzed with +`--allow-noisy-host`, its quality is `noisy-paired`. It is not authoritative +positive evidence, but it is a decisive negative result: its upper overall +95% bootstrap bound, 0.6032x Perl, remains far below parity. + +| Field | Value | +| --- | --- | +| Command | `timeout 3600 perl dev/bench/run_performance_portfolio.pl --output-dir /tmp/perf-handoff-post-bmp-20260911` | +| Portfolio artifact | `/tmp/perf-handoff-post-bmp-20260911/20260911T111722Z/portfolio.json` | +| Analysis artifact | `/tmp/perf-handoff-post-bmp-20260911/20260911T111722Z/analysis.json` | +| Overall geometric mean | 0.5839x Perl, 95% CI 0.5713–0.6032 | +| Minimum workload median | method, 0.2170x Perl | + +| Workload | Geometric mean ratio | Median ratio | 95% CI | +| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | +| closure | 0.2305x | 0.2293x | 0.2251–0.2360x | +| method | 0.2175x | 0.2170x | 0.2143–0.2207x | +| numeric | 1.2270x | 1.2380x | 1.1991–1.2530x | +| string | 0.5400x | 0.5279x | 0.5145–0.5701x | +| regex | 0.5554x | 0.5566x | 0.5434–0.5675x | +| life | 0.5169x | 0.5124x | 0.5073–0.5294x | +| json | 2.4973x | 2.4949x | 2.4446–2.5482x | + +The string result moves materially above the earlier loaded-host baseline's +0.4300x, consistent with the localized retained changes, but differences in +host state and evidence quality make that an observation rather than a +causal portfolio claim. Method and closure remain the largest deficits. +Return to the recorded call-boundary cost model; do not spend another cycle on +minor string leaves before selecting a structural, independently reversible +call-boundary reduction with an explicit ownership proof. + +### Rejected: empty named-capture map reuse (2026-09-11) + +A post-warmup 121-second JFR capture of the regex workload under load recorded +8,547 execution samples and 35,367 allocation samples. Filtering from sixty +seconds after recording start selected +`RuntimeRegex.updateLastNamedCaptureGroups`: a successful plain regex match +allocated a fresh empty `LinkedHashMap` even though `%+` and `%-` can only +observe an empty map. The narrow candidate replaced that empty state with +`Collections.emptyMap()` while leaving the named-capture construction path +unchanged. Its six-assertion `%+`/`%-` reset regression passed standard Perl, +JVM, and interpreter; the candidate full `make` gate passed in 5m12s. + +The exact parent was `c1c820f70`; its detached-worktree build produced the +parent JAR but failed only the known path-sensitive `unit/cwd.t`, while the +same source had passed the primary-checkout full gate. Seven checksum-matched +fresh-JVM pairs used 10--60 warmup windows and 15 one-second measured windows +for each JAR. All warmups stabilized, but host load averaged 15.43/19.94/21.04 +and the gain was not material: candidate/parent ratios were 1.0304x, 1.0862x, +1.2870x, 1.0119x, 0.9105x, 1.0714x, and 0.9781x (median 1.0304x; geometric +mean 1.0483x). The raw artifact is +`/tmp/perf-regex-empty-named-parent-candidate-20260911.json` +(`7086fef7faceb5e717f6eecd7aa4c36c6a08594125da5c844a07521371719fa1`). + +Revert the candidate: a few percent on a noisy host, including two regressions, +does not meet the structural 10%-anchor selection gate or justify carrying a +micro-fast path. The next regex investigation should quantify the larger +steady-state `JoniRegexPattern.JoniRegexMatcher` wrapper allocation (5,610 +filtered JFR samples) and its ownership constraints; do not alter matcher +pooling merely because that wrapper is frequent. + +### Repeat rejection: immutable empty named-capture map (2026-09-12) + +The fresh current regex JFR capture selected the same allocation site again: +8,402 sampled `JoniRegexPattern$JoniRegexMatcher` wrappers remained the larger +opportunity, while `updateLastNamedCaptureGroups` accounted for 1,730 sampled +empty-map allocations. A deliberately narrow repeat candidate (`bbbbb506d`) +reused `Map.of()` only after a successful match whose named-group metadata was +empty. It retained the named and provisional-capture paths and added a +five-assertion `%+`/`%-` empty-state and named-capture regression. The test +passed system Perl; the exact candidate full `make` gate passed in 4m21s. + +The exact parent was `942bba904`; its isolated full `make` gate passed in +3m34s. Seven checksum-valid (`1024`) fresh-JVM pairs used the standard +10--60-second warmup window and fifteen one-second measured windows. The +parent portfolio recorded host load 8.83/11.79/10.98 and the candidate 6.04/ +7.56/9.12. Candidate/parent ratios were 0.972896x, 0.992059x, 1.056220x, +0.998259x, 0.980033x, 0.998615x, and 0.996910x (median 0.996910x; +geometric mean 0.998980x). Raw portfolios are +`/tmp/perf-regex-empty-named-parent-20260912/20260912T024133Z/portfolio.json` +and +`/tmp/perf-regex-empty-named-candidate-20260912/20260912T024830Z/portfolio.json`. + +Reject and do not repeat this empty-state allocation change again. The +measurements show no throughput benefit despite the allocation removal; resume +only with a materially different, ownership-proven reduction of matcher-wrapper +or regex-state lifecycle cost. + +### Loaded-host Life allocation selection (2026-09-11) + +The rebased PR head was profiled for Life with 60 one-second warmup windows +and 60 measured windows under the same realistic host contention. The +121-second recording at `/tmp/perf-life-post-rebase-20260911.jfr` completed +successfully (171 execution and 34,853 allocation samples); the post-warmup +portion contains 59 execution and 17,712 allocation samples. CPU sampling is +therefore directional only: `ThreadLocalMap.getEntry` has 21 samples and +`RuntimeScalar.getLong` has 10. Allocation selection is decisive: dynamic +integer results account for the leading sites, including 8,255 sampled +`RuntimeScalar` allocations from `RuntimeScalarCache.getScalarInt(long)` and +3,826 in the generated Life body. The full stacks identify numeric bitwise +results (`xor`, `and`, `or`, and shifts), plus range-topic scalars; a further +`Long` boxing sample comes from `RuntimeScalar(long)`. + +These results are not evidence that widening the small-integer cache is safe: +Life's values are dynamic, often outside its range, and must remain writable. +Nor is a general temporary-scalar pool safe: operator results can escape via +assignment, arguments, references, control flow, or `DESTROY`. The next Life +candidate must instead establish a narrow non-escaping generated-expression +representation with an explicit fallback and standard-Perl ownership tests. +Do not claim a timing improvement from this JFR capture. + +### Rejected: fused six-term integer addition chain (2026-09-11) + +A post-warmup closure JFR selected `MathOperators.addWarnUnpropagated` as the +largest remaining body-local CPU site (465 samples), ahead of the generic call +boundary helpers. The candidate evaluated all six source operands in their +ordinary scalar contexts, then fused a left-associated six-term addition only +when every result was an untainted fixed-width integer; wide integers, strings, +taint, overload, and all other inputs replayed the ordinary left-associated +operator chain. Standard Perl, JVM, and interpreter regression coverage passed, +as did the candidate full `make` gate in 4m35s. A candidate JFR confirmed +activation: the former `addWarnUnpropagated` hotspot was absent after warmup. + +The allocation/CPU removal was not a material throughput result. The exact +parent `c7ba4a470` passed a separate full gate in 4m21s. Eight alternating +fresh-JVM parent/candidate pairs used the same closure workload, 15 one-second +measurement windows, and 30 or 60 warmup windows. Excluding one parent and one +candidate run whose warmup did not stabilize, six checksum-matched pairs gave +1.0745x, 1.0020x, 1.0104x, 1.3285x, 1.0516x, and 1.0757x candidate/parent +median throughput (median 1.0631x; geometric mean 1.0854x). The 1.3285x +outlier coincided with visible late-window host contention; it cannot justify +retention. Revert the fused chain and its regression. Future closure work must +reduce a larger, independently proven call-boundary cost rather than a single +arithmetic expression leaf. + +### Closure scalar-result ownership check (2026-09-11) + +The return-list wrapper remained prominent in the post-fusion closure JFR, so +the exact opt-in scalar-result counters were run on the source-matched parent +JAR rather than treating sampled `RuntimeCode.returnList` frames as proof of a +leak. Across a stabilized ten-warmup/ten-window closure diagnostic they record +67,935,259 pool hits and exactly as many successful recycles, with 527,331 +initial pool misses and 526,799 ordinary-list rejections (0.77% of 68,462,058 +scalar extractions); there were no multi-element rejections. The raw report is +`/tmp/closure-scalar-result-diagnostics-20260911.json`. + +Therefore a general result-wrapper pool or recycle widening is not the next +closure target: nearly all eligible wrappers already complete the intended +lifecycle. `returnList` still participates in required scalar/list, lvalue, +copy, and IO-owner boundary handling. A future direct scalar-return ABI needs +an explicit proof for those boundaries and must not be justified merely by this +sampled frame or by the pool-miss count. + +### Rejected: generated-CV warning-bit cache (2026-09-11) + +The call-boundary audit identified the per-call JVM CV warning-bit lookup as a +strictly semantic-preserving candidate only when cached by both the active +compilation state and generated implementation identity; that retains +reset/rebinding and lazy-replacement behavior while avoiding a method-handle +class-name plus registry lookup on a hot call. A focused repeated-callee +warning-scope regression passed standard Perl, JVM, and interpreter execution, +and the candidate's full `make` gate passed under the loaded host in 15m03s. + +Its source-matched parent/candidate closure comparison does not meet the +retention bar. The first 45-second pair had matching checksum `9216` but an +unstable parent warmup, so its apparent 1.60x ratio is excluded. The longer +60-second warmup pair stabilized on both sides with the same checksum and +medians of 3,328,925.584 versus 3,399,103.167 operations/s: 1.0211x +candidate/parent. This is below the 10% anchor gate and is not retained. +The raw logs are `/tmp/perf-warning-bits-cache-{parent,candidate}-{1,2}-20260911.log`. +Future call-boundary work should select a larger independently attributed +structural cost rather than retrying the same registry lookup cache. + +### Candidate: guarded direct leaf integer-addition closure call (2026-09-11) + +The next closure experiment retains the generic `RuntimeCode.apply` path by +default, but marks only generated anonymous closures whose entire body is a +positive-integer addition tree over captured scalar lexicals. A zero-argument +scalar call then uses a direct helper only while every captured scalar remains +an exact, untainted, unblessed integer and the CV is not lvalue-capable or +aggregate-capturing. Every other call falls back to `apply`, including +overloaded/blessed operands and closures that observe `caller` or `@_`. +The permanent regression covers captured-value mutation, overloaded addition, +caller identity, and argument observability; it passed standard Perl, JVM, and +interpreter execution. The exact candidate commit `d7c5a8ea0` also passed a +fresh full `make` gate. + +A source-matched parent/candidate closure comparison established one valid +stable pair with checksum `9216`: 3,343,412.272 versus 6,381,115.538 +operations/s (1.9086x candidate/parent). Two shorter pairs were excluded for +unstable parent or candidate warmup, so this is promising selection evidence, +not a completed localized retention protocol. Call-layer diagnostics confirm +selection: generic anonymous-CV `apply` counts fall to the outer-window calls, +rather than one invocation for each of the inner 128 leaf calls. + +The resulting exact-commit full high-load portfolio completed successfully at +`/tmp/perf-direct-leaf-portfolio-20260911/20260911T144715Z/portfolio.json`. +Its source status was clean at `d7c5a8ea0`, its JAR SHA-256 was +`e82600707d7f5ea76b0a56cc8ee7e8509839243eb0928842c397152707ac7fbc`, and +the host reported load averages 12.80/19.89/34.98. All 49 pairs had matching +semantic checksums and completed inside their 180-second limit. The host +contention correctly left the portfolio `protocol_compliant: true` but +`conclusive: false`; the analyzer labels it `inconclusive`, so it is not an +authoritative acceptance baseline. Its geometric mean was 0.6397x Perl (95% +CI 0.5332--0.6600), with workload medians: closure 0.4759x, method 0.2082x, +numeric 1.2653x, string 0.5292x, regex 0.5598x, Life 0.4880x, and JSON +2.4185x. This is a decisive negative high-load result for the overall goal, +not evidence to claim parity or general portfolio improvement. + +Before retaining this candidate for the PR, collect additional source-matched +parent/candidate closure pairs with stable warmup, then use a quiet or less +contended host for an authoritative complete-portfolio comparison. Do not +weaken the guards or extend the AST contract merely to raise the microbenchmark; +the existing fallback is part of the semantic proof. + +That follow-up ran seven alternating parent/candidate pairs with a fixed 60 +one-second-window warmup and 15 measured windows +(`/tmp/perf-direct-leaf-7pairs-retry-20260911/`). All fourteen processes exited successfully and +every pair retained checksum `9216`, but all parent warmups and six candidate +warmups were unstable under the current host load. Their raw candidate/parent +median ratios were 2.1314x, 1.9962x, 1.9131x, 1.9284x, 2.1089x, 2.7734x, and +2.0499x, respectively. This consistent directional signal does not override +the warmup gate: there are still zero eligible pairs. Preserve the candidate +locally for a quieter rerun; do not push or describe it as retained performance +evidence from this loaded host. + +### Method call-boundary selection refresh (2026-09-11) + +A one-pair method JFR diagnostic at the clean direct-leaf candidate recorded +77 seconds at +`/tmp/perf-method-direct-leaf-profile-20260911/20260911T161210Z/method-pair-01.jfr`. +It has 315 execution and 14,975 allocation samples; timing from this +instrumented one-pair run is not a throughput comparison. Filtering to the +final post-warmup interval ranks `ThreadLocalMap.getEntry` first (15 samples), +then fresh `RuntimeScalar` refcount transport (6), blessing lookup (5), and +`MortalList`/dynamic-variable cleanup (4 each). Full stacks show the +ThreadLocal lookup serves signal delivery, warning-bit scope, current argument +alias checks, `pos`, localization and global-alias state. It is therefore not a +single cacheable operation and must not be bypassed with static generated-CV +metadata. + +The same post-warmup stacks repeatedly cross `RuntimeCode.callCached`, +`applyCachedMethod`, and `invokeWithCallFrame` before fresh method-argument +assignment. Continue by deriving one non-overlapping, semantics-preserving +method frame/argument transport reduction with a generic fallback. Preserve +the cleanup mark, invocation hold, fresh aliased `@_`, caller/warning scope, +signal checks, debugger hooks, non-local return behavior, and `DESTROY` +ownership; no one sampled helper proves any of those can be removed. + +An opt-in, fixed-60-window call-layer run gave the required Amdahl bound. Its +warmup was unstable and its rate is not timing evidence, but its checksum was +`4352` and the high-volume shared-argument anonymous-CV category recorded +72,113,991 calls: 127.7 ns setup versus 1,978.8 ns inclusive cost per call +(722.2 ns exclusive; 416.2 exclusive allocated bytes). Thus eliminating all +currently measured generic frame setup could recover under 7% of this path, +below the 10% anchor gate. Do not implement a one-argument method-frame +micro-fast-path merely because the emitter already passes a single +`RuntimeBase`; the frame's aliased `@_` remains required and the available +budget is too small. Select a body-level or broader transport cost instead. + +Streaming post-warmup allocation attribution from the same 77-second method +recording identifies the broader transport candidate: 539 sampled allocations +weighing 2.32 GB originate in `RuntimeCode.methodArgsWithSelf`, plus 1,264 +`RuntimeScalar` samples weighing 5.42 GB in the generated method body and 710 +weighing 3.04 GB in range iteration. The allocation weights are selection +evidence, not exact byte accounting. A method frame cannot be globally pooled: +Perl requires fresh aliased `@_`, debugger/caller support retains a pristine +frame, and a callee can mutate, capture, return, or re-enter through it. The +only plausible frame-reuse experiment is an explicitly marked JVM method whose +sole `@_` access is immediate copying into fresh lexicals and whose remaining +body cannot observe, mutate, or retain the frame; it must acquire a nested +per-runtime frame, keep the full `RuntimeCode.apply` lifecycle, and fall back +for every unproven case. Establish that AST/effect contract and permanent +standard-Perl tests before implementing it. + +### Candidate: nested reusable immediate-unpack method frame (2026-09-11) + +The allocation evidence above now has one deliberately narrow implementation +candidate. The JVM emitter marks only a CV with exactly one syntactic `@_` +reference when its first statement is `my ($scalar, ...) = @_`; the target +lexicals must be non-empty, distinct scalar names. At cached Perl-method +dispatch, and only for a one-scalar actual argument with debugging disabled, +the runtime borrows a two-slot frame from an execution-runtime-local pool. +The frame remains an aliased `@_` frame and still goes through the normal +`RuntimeCode.apply` push/pop, caller, warning, signal, exception, control-flow +and cleanup lifecycle. Recursive calls cannot share a live frame: `popArgs` +returns it to the pool only after the active argument-frame depth is removed. + +Every nonmatching method, multiple-argument call, debugger invocation, and +CV with another syntactic `@_` observation retains the ordinary fresh-frame +path. The marker is copied through CODE cloning/rebinding. The permanent +`reusable_method_argument_frame.t` regression proves standard-Perl behavior +for repeated calls, nested recursion, and an `$_[1]` mutation fallback; it +passes standard Perl and both PerlOnJava backends. The exact source candidate +also passed `make` under the requested high host load in 5m03s +(`/tmp/make-reusable-method-frame-4-20260911.log`). This is safety and build +evidence only: collect source/JAR-matched alternating method pairs before +claiming allocation reduction or retaining it as a performance result. + +The first bounded 60-window/15-window high-load diagnostic is not eligible: +the candidate at `3487098c6` had matching checksum `4352` but an unstable +PerlOnJava warmup at load 41.38/60.54/47.70, measuring 1.137M operations/s; +the clean parent `c7ba4a470` later stabilized at load 20.82/41.08/41.91 and +measured 1.620M operations/s. Their unlike host states and failed candidate +warmup make the apparent 0.702x candidate/parent direction non-comparable. +Artifacts are `/tmp/perf-reusable-method-frame-{candidate,parent}-20260911/`. +Do not retain, revert, or push this candidate on this pair; repeat alternating +source/JAR-matched runs only when both warmups stabilize. + +A separate exact-candidate JFR diagnostic completed for 76 seconds at +`/tmp/perf-reusable-method-frame-jfr-20260911/20260911T165924Z/method-pair-01.jfr` +(17,073 allocation and 123 execution samples). Its candidate warmup was also +unstable, so it is allocation-selection evidence only. Filtering the final +15-second measurement interval by recording timestamp finds 5,315 sampled +`RuntimeScalar` allocations in generated `anon583.apply` (the hot method), +3,798 in `PerlRangeIntegerIterator.next`, and only 6 `RuntimeArray` +allocations at `methodArgsWithSelf`. The sparse CPU samples lead with +`ThreadLocalMap.getEntry` (10), then lifecycle/identity helpers. This supports +the pool's narrow allocation effect but rules out further method-frame tuning +as the next material candidate: profile and prove a non-escaping generated +method-lexical representation, while retaining normal lexical allocation for +every body that can capture, reference, dynamically inspect, or re-enter it. + +### Full loaded-host portfolio refresh (2026-09-11) + +The exact clean candidate source `38355ffef1d957a694adc840ec85ab51223d8b1e` +completed the complete seven-workload, seven-alternating-pair portfolio at +`/tmp/perf-reusable-method-frame-full-portfolio-20260911/20260911T170458Z/portfolio.json`. +It used the source-matched JAR +`1136c0525ee82e192569d653614bfd4f746d531cef418aa4b34dc42f7786f988`, JDK +24.0.2, 10--60 warmup windows and 15 one-second measurement windows; its +captured Darwin arm64 host load was 4.82/12.45/24.88. The runner exited zero, +all warmups stabilized, semantic checks passed, and the analyzer labels the +result protocol-compliant, conclusive, and stable. + +This authoritative current-baseline result does **not** meet the issue #1196 +acceptance target: its geometric mean is 0.6436x standard Perl (95% CI +0.6286x--0.6572x), and the analyzer rejects it because it is below 1.05x. +The workload median ratios are closure 0.4775x, method 0.2151x, numeric +1.2165x, string 0.5211x, regex 0.5462x, Life 0.5080x, and JSON 2.5299x. +Numeric and JSON are above Perl, but every other scored workload is below the +0.90x floor. This is a full acceptance measurement of the current source, not +an exact-parent A/B experiment; it therefore cannot attribute the shortfall to +the nested method-frame candidate or alone decide whether to revert it. It +does establish that performance parity remains unachieved under a stable, +realistically loaded host. The next implementation selection remains the +generated hot-method `RuntimeScalar` churn identified by the post-warmup JFR, +with a non-escaping ownership proof and focused standard-Perl regressions +before any representation change. + +### Direct immediate-argument binding proof boundary (2026-09-11) + +The follow-up emitter audit rules out a generic lexical-cell pool. A `my` +declaration is emitted as `new RuntimeScalar`, then passed through +`RuntimeCode.resolveLexicalAlias`, which also installs the cell in the active +lexical frame. That frame is observable by lexical aliasing, debugger/eval +paths, and runtime regex source; `my` values also participate in scope-exit +cleanup. Replacing that cell after construction cannot meet the allocation +goal, while pooling it before construction would let a retained reference, +alias, or destructor observe a later invocation. + +The only viable next lowering is therefore direct argument binding, emitted +*instead of* `new RuntimeScalar`, with all of the following proof gates: + +1. The CV has one immediate scalar `my (...) = @_` unpack and no dynamic + source, debugger, lexical alias, capture, reference-taking, reassignment, + or control-flow observation of the selected lexicals. +2. The remaining body is statically callback-free, and runtime guards prove + the actual values take only plain, non-tied, non-overloaded paths. A guard + miss must emit the existing allocation and list-assignment path. +3. The direct cell must still be registered in the active lexical frame; this + preserves the runtime's pad invariant even though the guard proves no + ordinary observation for the selected execution. +4. Permanent standard-Perl tests must cover ordinary copy semantics, + assignment/reference rejection, recursive re-entry, aliases, `DESTROY`, + and debugger/eval fallbacks before a selected path can be retained. + +The current method benchmark has an immediate `($self, $n)` unpack followed +by hash-element mutation. Its existing entries already avoid proxy allocation +and `+=` already mutates small integers in place. It is consequently a useful +validation shape for direct binding, but not a license to specialize the +benchmark: a static and runtime proof must describe a reusable class of +generated methods, not only `PortfolioMethod::add`. + +### String-path allocation selection (2026-09-11) + +A bounded one-pair JFR diagnostic selected the next non-method candidate at +`/tmp/perf-string-selection-jfr-20260911/20260911T175425Z/string-pair-01.jfr`. +The clean documentation-only source was `f245de355` and its source-matched +runtime JAR was +`1136c0525ee82e192569d653614bfd4f746d531cef418aa4b34dc42f7786f988`; the +Darwin arm64 host artifact records load 9.46/9.75/9.73. Both engine warmups +stabilized and the PerlOnJava checksum was `24`, but a JFR-instrumented single +pair is not portfolio-compliant throughput evidence (the analyzer correctly +rejects it for having fewer than two pairs). + +The 26-second recording has 7,591 allocation and 1,270 execution samples. +Recurring generated-body samples identify `PerlUtfString.offsetByPerlCodePoints` +through `Operator.substr`, warning-aware `StringOperators` concatenation, and +`GlobalVariable.aliasForeachGlobalVariable` for the implicit integer-range +topic. This is selection evidence only: the recording includes startup and +must not be used to rank exact byte budgets or claim a timing gain. The string +workload's local string recurrence and rvalue-only `$_` use are a candidate for +a separate non-escaping proof; do not widen generic range-topic reuse or +string operations merely because this benchmark's operands are plain values. + +### Next steps + +1. Read repository `AGENTS.md`, the main design contract, and the profiling + skill before performance work. Apply the mandatory patch plus WIP-commit + preflight if any pre-existing edits are present. Never stash or discard + them. Work on a feature branch; no direct master push. +2. Inventory active Java/build/test processes, their command lines, parents, + worktrees, elapsed time and CPU usage. Age alone is not a reason to kill. + Stop only identified obsolete task-owned processes; do not use broad + Java kill patterns. Keep one heavy gate/benchmark active on the measurement + host. Check long jobs about every 120 seconds, with bounded waits that allow + progress updates. Wrap every `jperl`, `jcpan`, and `prove` invocation in a + timeout and capture full logs. +3. Treat the stable full high-load portfolio at `38355ffef` as the current + authoritative baseline: it decisively misses the portfolio target but does + not isolate any one candidate. Rebuild and collect a new full portfolio + after every runtime-source change; retain host state and quality labels + rather than silently comparing unlike environments. The direct-leaf + candidate's 1.9086x single stable parent/candidate pair is selection evidence + only; first complete its localized pairing protocol. +4. Select and prove a non-escaping generated-method `RuntimeScalar` reduction, + using the JFR allocation budget before changing representation. Preserve the + generic path for every aliasing, capture, dynamic inspection, destructor, + exception, control-flow, or re-entry case. Do not attribute this baseline's + method deficit to the nested immediate-unpack frame or revert it without an + exact-parent A/B experiment. The JIT gate is complete: do not spend the next + iteration on a forced-inlining tweak. Follow the experiment gates below; + update this summary after each decision. + +Example commands from a clean, committed checkout (choose a fresh evidence +directory for each experiment; inspect every exit status before continuing): + +```bash +timeout 1800 make > /tmp/perf-handoff-make.log 2>&1 +timeout 1200 perl dev/bench/run_performance_portfolio.pl --workload closure --workload method --pairs 2 --output-dir /tmp/perf-handoff-triage > /tmp/perf-handoff-triage.log 2>&1 +timeout 14400 perl dev/bench/run_performance_portfolio.pl --output-dir /tmp/perf-handoff-baseline > /tmp/perf-handoff-baseline.log 2>&1 +``` + +The runner prints the timestamped `portfolio.json` path into the log. Pass +that exact path to `perl dev/bench/analyze_performance_portfolio.pl --input +PATH --output REPORT_PATH`, capturing stdout/stderr too. Defaults are seven +alternating fresh-process pairs per workload, 10–60 warmup windows and 15 +one-second measurement windows. Subset/short runs are diagnostic, not acceptance. +No JFR, call counters, fallback tracing or JIT diagnostics in throughput runs. +Use separate immutable parent/candidate worktrees and their own built JARs for +A/B tests; alternate execution on the same host, not concurrent execution. + +### High-risk next idea: topic reuse needs a real proof + +`EmitSubroutine` currently derives `doesNotObserveDynamicTopic` from +`!requiresAllRuntimeLexicals()` and absence of `"$_"` in a variable-name set. +`RuntimeCode` stores it and copies it on clone/adoption. The audit found no +consumer. **Absence of an explicit variable reference is not proof of absence +of observable effects.** Do not use this flag to recycle range scalars or skip +dynamic scope setup without a new, tested conservative analysis. + +The proof must account for implicit-topic builtins/default-subject regexes, +qualified `$main::_`, aliases/typeglobs, nested calls, recursion/re-entry, +`eval`, callbacks, ties/overloading, warning/die hooks and debugger behavior. +Unknown effects must reject the fast path. Primitive-looking arithmetic on a +captured scalar can invoke user overload code; a syntactically leaf closure +is not automatically effect-free. Validate metadata propagation, invalidation +on CV replacement and backend differences, not just initial emission. + +First trace the **actual scored call site** through generated bytecode. The +closure workload builds `$f` by calling a factory that returns a captured +closure, then repeatedly executes `$f->()` inside `for (1..128)`. A same-scope +`my $f = sub {...}` recognizer alone will not select this case. Also distinguish +explicit empty-argument `$f->()` from bare `&$f`, which shares `@_`; do not +optimize the latter emitter and assume it covers the former. + +Diagnostic guard-hit counters or bytecode evidence must demonstrate selection +on the scored workload and rejection of unsafe cases. If proving this needs +interprocedural effects or runtime CV/type identity guards, budget that cost +before implementing it. Keep ordinary range elements distinct when a callee +can retain `\$_` or mutate the topic. If the proof is too broad or guard hit +rate too low, leave topic reuse unchanged and choose another measured target. + +### Experiment plan and decision gates + +| Stage | Deliverable | Advance only when | +| --- | --- | --- | +| Attribute | Selected call-site bytecode; exclusive CPU ns/op, allocated bytes/op, GC/JIT state; guard hit/fallback counts | A measured opportunity explains at least 10% of an anchor or 5% of portfolio time, per the design | +| Prove | Explicit ownership/effect contract, generic fallback, permanent selected/rejected tests | Standard Perl oracle first; failures reproduced on the unfixed parent where applicable; JVM and interpreter pass | +| Implement | One focused reversible change, no benchmark-specific behavior | Full immutable `make` passes; generated code confirms intended path | +| Screen | Alternating exact-parent/candidate fresh-process pairs, raw windows and stable warmups | Material repeatable throughput benefit, not merely fewer sampled allocations | +| Integrate | Complete seven-workload protocol at an exact candidate commit | No regression floor breach, anchor/portfolio gates pass, stronger per-workload parity is reported | + +Build the budget from non-overlapping costs: call target/context resolution, +argument transport, dynamic scope/cleanup, result transport, body arithmetic, +range iteration, and residual runtime/GC. `RuntimeCode.apply` being on a stack +does not mean all time below it is call overhead. For an affected fraction +`f` improved by factor `s`, maximum total gain is `1 / (1 - f + f/s)`; +even eliminating a 10% cost gives only 1.11x, not the roughly 4.6x closure +improvement suggested by the diagnostic. Report uncertainty rather than +inventing a precise fraction from inclusive samples. + +Investigate state/thread-local lookup consolidation and argument/result +transport at the general call boundary first if exclusive attribution supports +them. Preserve bound-runtime switching, stack/cleanup markers, scalar/list/void +and lvalue contexts, tail calls, exceptions and dynamic regex state. Audit the +constant-CV early return against those obligations before widening it. If +generated-body arithmetic dominates, update the design's phase decision with +evidence before primitive specialization; preserve signed/unsigned IV, NV, +BigInt, coercion, magic and overload semantics. Then independently address +Life, string and regex deficits; a JSON surplus cannot satisfy their floors. + +For call/frame/topic candidates, permanent counterexamples must cover retained +`@_` and `\$_`, mutation through aliases, LexAlias replacing a destination before +entry, recursion, exceptions/nonlocal control, caller context, ties, overload, +debugger and CV replacement. Existing tests are starting points, not permission +to change expected results. Add focused tests; never modify/delete an existing +test to accommodate an optimization. Reuse the relevant debugging/parity skill +when a failure is found, and prove whether it predates the change. + +### Profiling corrections and evidence portability + +The historical closure JFR was started at JVM startup, not after warmup. Its +reported 4,297 range-scalar events are sample counts, not 4,297 allocated +objects or a byte budget. Ranking all printed stack frames produces overlapping +inclusive counts, not exclusive CPU attribution. Recollect or filter by actual +measurement timestamps, exclude each thread's initial allocation sample when +appropriate, use event weights/counters, and normalize to completed operations. +Do not drop just one global first sample or compare counts from unequal work. +The runner's `--jfr` likewise starts at launch; window filtering is still needed. +Collect the design-required async-profiler and JIT/inlining/deoptimization +evidence in separate diagnostic runs before accepting an attribution report. + +These files existed at audit time but **will not follow Git to another +computer**. Preserve a compact extracted report and a manifest in durable +project/PR evidence storage before removing raw recordings. Transfer needed +raw evidence securely, respecting the design's bounded-recording/cleanup rule; +if unavailable, mark it unavailable and rerun rather than reconstruct results. + +| Local artifact | SHA-256 | +| --- | --- | +| `/tmp/performance_current_baseline/20260910T213011Z/portfolio.json` | `9e5fd1ce39d9e3bcf39867f6ef5f88af99f64798b832699f747b006c49300174` | +| `/tmp/closure_current_profile.jfr` | `e4bf290d7d53c61f66fcd8f235203c1abf8e1bfccd85c4ed7f4702705595e69f` | +| `/tmp/json_post_hash_rejection.jfr` | `60cbc88a24b6768dd0e9a70f50fd2a89876b9f76aa77594d2c7a9adbfe913bd2` | +| `/tmp/make_dynamic_topic_metadata.log` | `f7035ed9cedf90d3774b101f222f9b5f9dd65d327a6007b312d4175d22c71897` | + +For each new experiment retain: hypothesis and expected budget; exact parent +and candidate source/JAR/launcher hashes; environment/module identities; +commands and exit codes; oracle/regression/full-gate logs; raw per-pair windows; +analyzer report; profile window boundaries and compact attribution; selection +evidence; decision and remaining gaps.

The fixed-slot build reports missing +`binary/in-progress-results-generic.bin` files for shards 0, 1, and 3. +These are concrete investigation targets. Their root causes and relationship +to the candidate are not established; do not label them pre-existing or +harmless host contention without comparison evidence. Local `/tmp` artifacts +are pointers for the next session, not durable CI records. + +The repeated failures therefore do not establish a code regression. They remain +useful operational evidence: an incomplete Gradle shard result is not a test +result and must be rerun from an immutable checkout before classifying code. + +The delayed allocation recording was also recomputed from +`/tmp/method_hot_profile_fixed_slots_2_alloc.txt`, excluding the first +`jdk.ObjectAllocationSample` for each event thread. The recording's initial +main-thread `RuntimeArray` sample alone carried 25 GB; after exclusion, +sampled `RuntimeArray` weight is 1,239.9 MB. The leading retained sampled +classes are `RuntimeScalar` (6,778 MB), `RuntimeScalarReadOnly` (4,957.3 MB), +`WeakReference` (3,692 MB), `Object[]` (3,014.1 MB; 2,918.1 MB on +`methodArgsWithSelf` stacks), and `RuntimeArrayElementList` (1,896 MB; 1,808 +MB on those stacks). This corrects the prior `methodArgsWithSelf` ranking: +sampled weights are an allocation-selection signal, not measured totals, and +this recording lacks a completed-call counter for per-operation normalization. + +A diagnostics-off, three-pair alternating fresh-JVM comparison then used the +validated parent JAR (`d8eb18613`, SHA-256 +`532540c9b605037448050cfd396480d2d58b7db8b3e5a0feee85549e37a65598`) and +candidate JAR (`55f834fca`, source-equivalent to fixed-slot `164d8f19b`, +SHA-256 `09c6862b657de22399cc9ad2d82e3768f990e179ccc09a73fa4e39a50394285b`). +Each process used ten warmup and five one-second method windows; order was +parent/candidate, candidate/parent, parent/candidate. Per-pair median +throughput ratios were 1.0705x (1.50M to 1.61M ops/s), 1.2821x (1.21M to +1.56M), and 1.1118x (1.28M to 1.42M), respectively. Only the first pair had +both warmups stabilized. The median 1.1118x direction is encouraging but is +not retain/broaden evidence on this shared host; raw JSON is +`/tmp/fixed_slots_{parent,candidate}_pair{1,2,3}.json`. + +The required quiet-host follow-up completed seven alternating fresh-JVM pairs +after the LexAlias guard repair. The parent was `d8eb18613` (JAR SHA-256 +`532540c9b605037448050cfd396480d2d58b7db8b3e5a0feee85549e37a65598`); the +candidate was `6b5cdec6c` (JAR SHA-256 +`8ff107b14307ea3988b820bbd481b07da987de5bbaa468d366ab0e4fc7456a7f`). Each +process used ten warmup and ten one-second method windows. Candidate/parent +median ratios were 1.1646, 1.0334, 1.0908, 1.0506, 1.0391, 1.0495, and +1.0111; all seven favor the candidate, with a median 1.0495x and mean +1.0627x. Both warmups stabilized in pairs 3, 4, 6, and 7. This is sufficient +selection evidence to retain the guarded fixed-slot lowering, but is not a +Perl-comparison or portfolio acceptance result. Raw records are +`/tmp/fixed_slots_quiet_{parent,candidate}_pair{1,2,3,4,5,6,7}.json`. + +A fresh clean-host method JFR at `6b5cdec6c` warmed 25 seconds and recorded +30 seconds (`/tmp/method_hot_profile_guarded_slots.jfr`, 8,607 allocation and +38 GC samples). Excluding each thread's first allocation sample, the leading +sampled allocation stacks were generated `anon583.apply` (14,133.9 MB), +`PerlRangeIntegerIterator.next` (7,645.1 MB), and +`RuntimeCode.methodArgsWithSelf` (6,054.2 MB). The method workload's implicit +range topic can be observed by its called Perl method, so it cannot safely +reuse the range cell under the existing non-retention proof. The generated +method body remains the largest budget; do not claim its sampled weight as an +exact total or bypass its result/control-flow ABI without a narrow ownership +proof. + +The fixed-slot safety audit found that `Devel::LexAlias` can replace a lexical +cell before invocation, invalidating the earlier assumption that emitted `my` +slots are necessarily plain and distinct from `@_`. The fixed-arity helpers now +check the destination class/tie state and every RHS identity before direct +stores; any exceptional destination falls back to +`setFromListDiscardResultFreshScalars`. The full gate for that repair, +`/tmp/make_fixed_slots_destination_guard.log`, passed in 5m09s. The existing +`devel_lexalias_padwalker.t` regression passed on JVM and interpreter (12/12 +each). The new focused generated `my ($x) = @_` plus pre-call LexAlias/tied +destination regression `fresh_lexical_argument_unpack_lexalias.t` passes +standard Perl, JVM, and interpreter (3/3 each); its final full gate, +`/tmp/make_fixed_slots_lexalias_regression.log`, passed in 4m40s. + +Immediate next actions, in order: + +1. Verify active processes and their working directories. Let all gates and + children in this checkout finish before edits, builds, or JAR readers. + Use a separate worktree if a gate needs to run alongside development. + A tool observation ending does not prove its child build exited: require + process termination plus the log's final build result and exit code. +2. The immutable candidate and parent `make` gates have now passed. The + fixed-slot helper restores destination-class/tie and identity-alias fallback + guards, and permanent generated `my ($x) = @_` plus pre-call + `Devel::LexAlias`/tied-destination coverage now proves the fallback on + standard Perl and both backends. Retain these guards when evolving the + lowering; a declaration alone is not proof of freshness under lexical + rebinding. +3. The seven-pair quiet-host A/B result retains the guarded fixed-slot lowering + (+4.95% median method throughput). Compare `c336e736e` against `ab58a1c59` + under the same protocol. Keep the fixed-slot guard and test while measuring + subsequent work. +4. Apply the first-sample exclusion rule to all earlier 80/95.8/82.4 GB + attribution claims before using them to rank work. A zero sampled class + does not prove zero allocations. +5. Select the next structural change from the corrected CPU/allocation budget. + The latest method capture ranks generated method-body scalar churn first; + range-topic reuse is rejected unless the body and every reachable call prove + the topic unobservable. Do not revive generic nonempty frame pooling. + Reusable nonempty frames are only a hypothesis. Static use of `@_` solely + in unpacking does not exclude observation through overloaded/tied values, + callbacks, signal/die/warn handlers, debugger or lexical introspection, + shared-argument calls, tail calls, and nested dynamic code. Per-depth leases + address overlapping invocations but not escaping frame identity or the + `copiedFromArgumentFrame` tokens retained by scalar copies. Cover selected + and rejected paths, retained references, recursion, exceptions, and + DESTROY timing before enabling reuse. If the proof is too broad or the + budget too small, choose another measured hotspot; frame pooling is not a + prerequisite to the overall performance goal. +6. After a repeatable material gain and passing correctness gates, run the + complete seven-workload/seven-pair acceptance protocol above. Update both + the main design and this handoff with durable evidence and remaining gaps. + +This update is documentation-only; it does not repair or revalidate the +runtime candidates. The priorities here supersede conflicting success and +allocation-dominance claims in the historical narrative below. + +The authoritative baseline is decisively below target. Its JSON ratio was +0.0102x, which needs an 88.2x speedup merely to reach the 0.90x floor. The +other recorded gaps remain material: closure needs 6.59x to its 1.05x anchor, +Life 2.75x, method 5.41x, regex 4.81x, string 3.09x, and numeric 2.69x to +their stated thresholds. No individual reduction should be described as +progress toward acceptance unless its non-overlapping affected fraction and +measured speedup can materially move one of those budgets. + +The recent one-pair JSON diagnostic is useful only for attribution. Its +shared-argument instance category took about 30.98 microseconds and 28,977 +bytes per call inclusive. The reported 3.74 microseconds / 3,384 bytes +"exclusive" value is **not** generic call-frame cost: it includes all body +work except nested instrumented calls. It cannot justify deprioritizing call +boundary work without a direct setup/dispatch/return measurement. + +## What the opcode capture says + +`BytecodeOpcodeDiagnostics` is an opt-in counter. A bounded JSON run recorded +high counts for branches, byte-string loads, mortal flushes, list creation, +call-site hint/warning setup, aliases, regex matching and state snapshots, +lexical cleanup, hash/array access, and direct calls. These counts cover +startup, warmup, measurement windows, and every interpreter CV in the process. +They establish that interpreter work is substantial, but not which operation +owns elapsed time or allocation. Never optimize by count alone. + +Use it with: + +```text +-Dperlonjava.bytecodeOpcodeDiagnostics=true +-Dperlonjava.bytecodeOpcodeDiagnosticsOutput=/tmp/json-opcodes.json +``` + +The implementation is disabled in ordinary runs. It passed the full `make` +gate in 5m27s, and its instrumentation cost makes it unsuitable for timing. + +Per-CV attribution landed with the current work: counters are thread-confined, +then merged by package/subroutine/source location at shutdown. A bounded JSON +capture on 2026-09-10 (two warmup windows and three measurement windows) found +15,795,675 total dispatches. `JSON::PP::_string` accounted for 12,860,000 +(81.4%), `JSON::PP::string_to_json` for 2,092,740 (13.2%), and +`JSON::PP::PP_encode_json` for 475,894 (3.0%). The short capture did not reach +stable warmup and is not a performance result; it is enough to rule out broad +opcode-count speculation. The next JSON investigation must use JFR CPU and +allocation stacks for `_string` and `string_to_json`, then separate the cost +of their repeated interpreter dispatch, allocation, and scalar/string +operations before changing code. + +### JVM-compilation blocker found and removed + +A JFR-guided inspection found a compile barrier that had hidden the useful +JVM path: `JSON::PP::PP_encode_json` could not be emitted because the generated +class embedded the entire deparse source as one JVM UTF-8 constant. Large source +files exceed the class-file 65,535-byte constant limit, so this forced the +interpreter before any hot-path optimization could matter. The emitter now +registers only oversized deparse sources under the generated class name and +loads them when the code object is constructed; ordinary sources retain the +direct constant path. `LargeDeparseSourceCompilationTest` covers a 70 KB source +and verifies that the named subroutine is JVM compiled. A direct JSON encode +trace now confirms `PP_encode_json` compiles successfully. + +This is enabling work, not a performance result: it removes a hard compile +barrier without changing the execution cost of code that was already compiled. +It must remain allocation-free on the ordinary source path and must not become +an unbounded registry (one entry per generated oversized source is expected for +the lifetime of a loaded generated class). + +The next decode trace narrowed the remaining JSON bottleneck: `JSON::PP::_string` +then fell back with ASM frame merging's `dstFrame` null failure. A fresh per-CV +counter capture after the compile-barrier fix assigned 17,656,000 of 17,656,167 +interpreter dispatches to `_string`. The repair found two linked emitter defects: +duplicate parser-label registration left a dangling ASM target, and dynamic +cleanup-level slots were pre-initialized as references but later used as ints. +The latter is now represented consistently as a boxed `Integer`; focused +standard-Perl, JVM, interpreter, and JVM-compilation tests cover both the +labeled outer-loop case and `JSON::PP::_string`. A direct decode trace now shows +`_string` compiling without either frame or verifier fallback. + +A one-pair, three-warmup/five-window JFR diagnostic from that exact dirty source +state measured about 10,626 PerlOnJava operations/s versus 64,720 Perl +operations/s (about 0.164x). This is roughly three times the earlier +fallback-era diagnostic rate, but its warmup was unstable and the host load was +high; it is activation evidence only, not an acceptance or regression score. +The nine-second recording contains substantial module-load/compiler samples and +only 36 execution samples, so it must not select a steady-state micro-optimization. +The next profile must use a sufficiently warmed compiled JSON process, exclude +startup, and attribute CPU and allocation inside the now-JVM-compiled parser +before changing runtime code. + +A clean-source follow-up at `baa325691c57cc7a68dba3f9209d2a96ed1cbd99` used +ten warmup and fifteen measurement windows. It still did **not** stabilize on a +host with load averages 14.14/15.71/23.14: median window throughput was 9,249 +PerlOnJava operations/s versus 51,160 Perl operations/s (0.181x), with the +PerlOnJava windows spanning 7,203–10,384 operations/s. The 27-second JFR +recording has 79 execution samples, 7,609 allocation samples, and 49 young +GCs, so it remains attribution only rather than a controlled comparison. +Late samples include `RuntimeCode` call lifecycle/return copying, +`JoniRegexPattern` matcher creation and matching, and string/scalar helpers; +they did not by themselves isolate a single compiled-parser body cost. The +post-warmup, per-CV diagnostic below supplies a selection budget; it still +requires a quiet-host confirmation before any throughput claim. + +### Post-warmup JSON attribution (2026-09-10) + +A timeout-bounded dedicated process warmed the exact JSON operation for 25 +seconds before `jcmd JFR.start` recorded the next 40 seconds. The recording is +not a throughput comparison on this contended host, but it excludes module +loading and initial compilation: it contains 98 execution samples, 11,738 +allocation samples, and 56 young collections. The sampled CPU and allocation +stacks retain `RuntimeCode.invokeCallable`/`invokeWithCallFrame`, return +coercion, regex matcher construction, and scalar/list allocation. + +The existing call-layer collector now has the opt-in +`-Dperlonjava.callLayerDiagnosticsByCode=true` mode; ordinary aggregate output +and all normal execution remain unchanged. A 12-second warm diagnostic then +identified the actual hot CVs. Per main operation, `JSON::PP::decode` took +about 146 microseconds and `PP_decode_json` 146 microseconds; `encode` took +about 68 microseconds. Decode called `_string` about five times, for about 57 +microseconds inclusive (34 microseconds exclusive) and 127 KB inclusive +allocation; it called `_next_chr` about 59 times, at about 584 ns and 1,096 B +per call. `_white` is also frequent (about 28 calls at 1.30 microseconds each). +These nested inclusive figures overlap and cannot be added, but `_string`'s +exclusive time alone is roughly 23% of decode and qualifies it for a structural +experiment. + +The attempted direct-leaf lowering was deliberately discarded before commit: +the generated JVM marker was not attached by the compilation path used for its +small regression source, so the candidate was inactive and its assertion could +not establish a sound lowering contract. Do not revive it by widening a marker +without first proving marker ownership on the actual generated JSON CV and +covering selected/rejected behavior on both backends. + +Two small JFR-driven Joni cleanups have now been measured. First, the matcher +warning hook accepted a Joni-specific functional interface, which made the +runtime allocate a forwarding lambda from its already-owned `LongConsumer` for +every affected match. The Joni API now stores that `LongConsumer` directly; a +fresh bounded JSON allocation capture no longer reports the forwarding lambda. +Second, byte-mode input construction had allocated two identity `int[]` maps +per byte-string subject even though ISO-8859-1 Java-character, native-byte, and +Perl-character offsets are identical. It now uses a byte-mode sentinel and +direct offset conversion. A 5-second warmup/15-second JSON allocation capture +on 2026-09-10 exercised this path (68,691 operations); its +`buildByteInputEncoding` samples contain the encoded byte array and +`InputEncoding` wrapper but no identity-map allocation. The full `make` gate +passed in 4m02s. These are verified allocation removals, not material +throughput claims: `JoniRegexMatcher`, `SubjectInputEncodings`, and the encoded +byte array remain prominent and need an Amdahl budget before a cache or API +redesign. + +That budget supported one bounded structural experiment. The Joni bytecode +engine resets its mutable search state at each public match/search entry, but +was being allocated afresh for every simple match. Each compiled pattern now +has a bounded, per-thread idle matcher pool. Only feature-free matches use it: +locale resolution, callbacks, control verbs, deferred properties, warning +callbacks, alarm interruption, and physical named captures retain the fresh +matcher path. Results are copied from a borrowed engine before it is released; +`JoniRegexPatternTest` proves a later pooled match cannot alter an earlier +wrapper's groups or offsets. The initial pool was keyed by the immutable encoded +subject, so it proved ownership safety but could help only repeated matches of +the same byte array. On the bounded 5-second warmup/15-second JSON allocation +protocol, that version completed 83,384 operations and had sampled +`ByteCodeMachine` allocation of about 24.6 KB/operation, down from about +31.7 KB/operation in the immediately preceding 68,691-operation capture +(roughly 22%). + +The pool now rebinds a returned matcher to the next complete byte subject, +rather than retaining a subject-keyed engine. Joni's `Region` is matcher-owned +capture-result storage, not caller-owned bounds; reset clears it along with the +bytecode machine's interrupt, stack, search, and control state. The permanent +pooled-matcher regression uses two distinct subject arrays and proves that the +first wrapper retains its match snapshot after the matcher is rebound. A fresh +5-second warmup/15-second JFR capture on 2026-09-10 completed 42,800 operations +and attributed 129,991,400 sampled bytes to `ByteCodeMachine`, about 3.04 +KB/operation. This is approximately 90% below the pre-pool 31.7 KB/op capture +and 88% below same-subject pooling's 24.6 KB/op. The full `make` gate passed in +7m47s. This is strong allocation evidence, not a throughput or acceptance +result: the capture remains host-contended, and CPU samples are still dominated +by `RuntimeCode` call-frame lifecycle plus `ThreadLocal` lookup. + +The next JFR budget was regex input-encoding cache churn. The old global, +synchronized `WeakHashMap` made a new subject metadata record on each scalar +value change and retained an unbounded set of temporary scalar keys until GC. +In the 42,800-operation rebound-pool capture, Joni stacks attributed 93.8 MB +to `SubjectInputEncodings`, 54.5 MB to `WeakHashMap` entries, and 12.6 MB to +`InputEncoding`: about 3.76 KB/operation for this setup path. It now uses a +bounded per-thread, 512-slot direct identity cache whose mutable slot metadata +is reused on scalar mutation; collisions only rebuild an encoding and cannot +expose another scalar's offsets. Existing `JoniSubjectEncodingCacheTest` +coverage proves unchanged-scalar reuse, mutation invalidation, independent +equal-valued scalars, and byte/unicode separation. The full `make` gate passed +in 3m48s. A fresh 94,282-operation 5-second warmup/15-second JFR capture had +zero sampled `SubjectInputEncodings` and `WeakHashMap` allocation; its remaining +`InputEncoding` samples were 56.1 MB, about 595 B/operation. This is an +approximately 84% reduction for the measured input-cache setup path, but not a +throughput or acceptance result on the contended host. + +One remaining pool guard was itself defeating pooling: all match sites supplied +the `non_unicode` warning callback, although ordinary programs cannot execute a +Unicode-property warning opcode. Joni now publishes a parser metadata fact for +such opcodes, and PerlOnJava supplies the callback only for that fact or a +deferred property (whose warning capability is resolved at match time). The +metadata regression uses a warning-capable resolver, and the existing +`regex_nonunicode_property_warning.t` continues to prove warning behavior. +On a fresh 25-second warmup/40-second JSON allocation capture on 2026-09-10 +(246,515 operations), sampled `ByteCodeMachine` allocation fell from 9.53 GB +in the preceding comparable capture to zero; `JoniRegexMatcher` remained 6.39 +GB because each match still needs its result wrapper. The clean full `make` +gate passed in 6m32s. This removes a dominant allocation source but is still +not a throughput or acceptance claim. + +### Guarded native JSON::PP canonical path (2026-09-10) + +The compiled JSON hot path still spent most of its time crossing Perl call +boundaries for recursive encoding and parsing. `JSON::PP` now optionally loads +a private Java helper through `XSLoader`; it is not a replacement for the +public JSON::PP implementation. Encode selects it only for `canonical` output +with ordinary JSON arrays/hashes/scalars and no formatting, byte/Unicode output +mode, callbacks, custom sorting/booleans, relaxed options, blessed-object +handling, or other observable extension. Decode similarly excludes callbacks, +custom booleans, relaxed/loose syntax, tags, and bignum handling. Every +excluded configuration continues through the pre-existing pure-Perl code. + +The helper preserves canonical key ordering, standard escaping, numeric scalar +types, `JSON::PP::Boolean`, nesting limits, and circular-reference rejection. +`unit/json_pp_native_canonical.t` is standard-Perl validated and covers the +selected shape plus a non-canonical fallback; `unit/json_parse_compat.t` +continues to cover duplicate-key and depth/error compatibility. A clean +`make` gate passed in 6m06s after the implementation and regression test. + +A one-pair diagnostic from the exact dirty source state used the versioned +runner's 10 warmup/15 measurement windows. It is explicitly +`protocol_compliant: false` (one pair) and the host was highly loaded, so it +is not acceptance evidence. Nevertheless both engines stabilized and the +median JSON throughput was 151,902 operations/s for PerlOnJava versus 67,650 +for Perl (2.245x). This is a major workload-local improvement over the prior +rough 0.18x JSON diagnostic. It does **not** establish the portfolio goal, +the no-workload-below-0.90x floor, anchors, or confidence interval. Next +measure a quiet-host seven-pair JSON confirmation, then run the whole +portfolio before claiming progress toward the project target. + +A subsequent one-pair all-workload diagnostic on the same highly loaded host +confirmed the prioritization without becoming acceptance evidence: closure was +0.240x (3.05M versus 12.73M ops/s), method dispatch was 0.217x (1.28M versus +5.88M), numeric was 1.195x (20.95M versus 17.53M), string was 0.427x (8.28M +versus 19.39M), regex was 0.559x (2.52M versus 4.51M), Life was 0.425x (1.77M +versus 4.17M), and JSON was 2.147x (121,933 versus 56,789). Method dispatch +is therefore the next largest scored deficit; use a warmed CPU/allocation +profile of that workload to select a call-boundary optimization. Do not use +the noisy one-pair ratios for an acceptance claim. + +That selection profile is now available: a timeout-bounded method-only JVM +process warmed for 25 seconds, then recorded 40 measurement windows with a +68-second JFR profile. Warmup did not stabilize on the contended host, so the +recording is attribution only. Of 555 execution samples, the leading runtime +frames were `RuntimeCode.invokeCallable` (221), `invokeWithCallFrame` (180), +`RuntimeCode.apply` (89), `callCached` (50), `callCachedInner` (48), and +`applyCachedMethod` (39); `RuntimeScalar` assignment/refcount helpers and +`MortalList` cleanup are also prominent. Method lookup is not the selection +target. Any next experiment must reduce common call-frame work while retaining +caller, warning scope, `@_` aliasing, non-local return, DESTROY/refcount, and +exception cleanup semantics; a method-only shortcut that bypasses those +boundaries is not acceptable. + +A bounded method-`@_` frame-pool experiment was deliberately discarded before +commit. Although `\@_` references can be detected by refcount state, the +ordinary method return boundary is not sufficient ownership proof: tail-call +and internal dispatch paths can still retain the frame. The candidate broke +`json_parse_compat.t`, tail-call behavior, and Mojolicious lifecycle tests. +Do not recycle arbitrary method argument arrays unless a future design proves +ownership across the entire tail-call and non-local-control-flow protocol. + +The first safe follow-up is intentionally smaller: void-context simple scalar +declarations such as `my ($self, $n) = @_` now select a list-assignment path +that avoids allocating a snapshot `RuntimeScalar` for each ordinary RHS value. +It is selected only for fresh `my` scalar lists and dynamically falls back for +identity aliases, ties, special scalar classes, or any other list shape. The +direct store preserves the argument-frame +provenance that the former snapshot constructor recorded, so mortal/refcount +cleanup remains correct. `fresh_lexical_argument_unpack.t` passed standard +Perl, JVM and interpreter execution, and the full `make` gate. A one-pair +method diagnostic on a busy host was 1.12M PerlOnJava versus 5.38M Perl +ops/s (0.208x); it is not a before/after comparison or acceptance evidence. +Measure this exact commit against its parent on a quiet host and retain it only +if the allocation saving produces a material, repeatable method gain. + +The subsequent call-layer diagnostic (one pair, 3 warmup / 5 measurement +windows, therefore selection-only) narrowed the remaining method cost further. +`shared-args-instance-apply` reported about 3,102 allocated bytes and 1,910 ns +inclusive per method call, but only about 870 bytes and 596 ns were exclusive +call-frame work. A current JFR allocation sample also attributes recurring +`RuntimeList` allocation to the generated outer method-call site, with +`methodArgsWithSelf` still visible as a smaller `RuntimeArray` source. Do not +revive frame pooling: its maximum isolated allocation budget is too small and +its ownership proof previously failed. Instead investigate a conservative +scalar-result call lowering that preserves the `RuntimeList` ABI and every +control-flow marker path, while avoiding wrappers only when the caller and +callee are statically proven scalar-only. + +The first implementation of that conservative result handling is deliberately +inside the existing ABI: `RuntimeList.addToScalar` now returns a marked, +private one-scalar wrapper through `scalarAndRecycle`, matching the direct +scalar-call path. Ordinary lists are not cleared, pooled, or otherwise given +different identity semantics. This removes a missed recycle point for compound +assignments such as `$sum += $object->value`, without changing argument-frame +or generic call-frame ownership. The new +`scalar_sub_call_compound_assignment.t` regression passed standard Perl, JVM, +and interpreter execution; the clean full `make` gate passed in 5m36s. Its +one-pair method diagnostic was host-contended and declining (1.38M to 1.10M +PerlOnJava operations/s across five windows), so it is not a keep/revert or +throughput result. Compare this exact commit with its parent using alternating +fresh processes on a quiet host and retain it only if its measured allocation +reduction translates into a repeatable method-workload gain. + +### Post-warmup method allocation selection (2026-09-10) + +A controlled method process warmed for 28 seconds before `jcmd` started its +own 30-second profile recording (the process exited after 28 recorded seconds). +This eliminates startup and initial compilation from allocation selection. The +recording has 8,308 allocation samples and 97 young collections, but only 30 +execution samples, so it is allocation evidence rather than a CPU profile. +JFR's sampled allocation weights estimate 95.8 GB of `RuntimeScalar`, 15.8 GB +of object arrays, 3.62 GB of `RuntimeList`, and 3.57 GB of `RuntimeArray`. +The leading scalar stack (about 91.5 GB) originates in the generated body of +the hot cached method, not generic dispatch. The next identified sources are +the integer range iterator (about 3.59 GB), `methodArgsWithSelf` (about 3.20 +GB), and `RuntimeScalar.getList`/`RuntimeList.acquireScalarResult` at the +return boundary (about 2.93 GB). These sampled categories overlap only by +time, not by allocation site; they demonstrate that generic argument-frame +pooling cannot close the method gap and remains unsafe. + +Do not infer that the marked result-list pool is active merely because a +scalar caller reaches `addToScalar`: the warmed capture still samples its +acquire site. Before another result-path change, add an opt-in exact +acquire/recycle counter (disabled in normal execution) and use it on this +process to establish which scalar-context lowering consumes the wrapper. A +future direct scalar return ABI would have to preserve list, lvalue, tail-call, +non-local-control-flow, rvalue-copy, and `DESTROY` boundaries; it is justified +only if that counter and a quiet-host paired run show that wrapper lifecycle is +a material residual after the generated method body's scalar allocation. + +That counter now identified and closed a direct leak. Two generated scalar +conversion sites (`RuntimeCode.apply()` through `EmitVariable`, and method +dispatch through `Dereference`) had invoked `RuntimeList.scalar()` directly, +so they bypassed the existing private-wrapper recycle helper. They now call +`scalarAndRecycle`; ordinary lists and control-flow markers retain identical +`scalar()` behavior. On the same bounded method protocol, pool misses fell +from 16,524,781 to 226,985 and successful recycles rose from 250,455 to +14,939,916; scalar extractions rose from 500,972 to 15,166,430. This proves +the affected hot path, not just a sampled allocation estimate. The regression +passed standard Perl, JVM, and interpreter execution; a clean full `make` gate +passed in 5m07s. A diagnostics-off one-pair run remained host-contended and +unstable (about 1.22M PerlOnJava vs 5.20M Perl median operations/s), so it is +not a throughput claim. The next measurement must use alternating fresh +processes on a quiet host before quantifying the gain. + +### Scalar-result lifecycle re-audit (2026-09-11) + +The opt-in counters were rerun after the rebase on the current JVM method +workload with 20 forced warmup windows and 10 one-second measured windows. +The process completed with a stable warmup and matching checksum under the +loaded host (`/tmp/scalar-result-method-20260911.log`, exit 0). Its report +(`...method-20260911.json`) records 48,147,429 private-result acquisitions: +47,428,617 pool hits and exactly 47,428,617 recycles. The remaining 718,812 +scalar extractions were ordinary lists; there were no multi-element private +results. Thus the private wrapper lifecycle balances for this workload after +the two known JVM conversion fixes. Do not add another recycle-site shortcut: +the remaining acquisition misses are accounted for by ordinary-list paths, +not an unreturned private wrapper. Resume selection from a distinct generated +method-body scalar operation or a representation change with a complete +ownership proof. + +### Method call boundary: copy-cell proof and high-load remeasurement (2026-09-11) + +`direct_argument_binding_guard.t` now fixes the semantic boundary for any +future `my (...) = @_` lowering. It passes under standard Perl and both +PerlOnJava backends, and covers an ordinary immediate copy, later `$_[0]` +mutation, a retained lexical reference, recursive re-entry, `eval STRING`, +and object lifetime through `DESTROY`. In particular, a lexical may not +borrow the argument scalar: the two are distinct cells even when their initial +values are the same. + +The existing `reusableImmediateMethodArgs` metadata therefore remains only a +physical `@_`-frame cache. It does not remove the fresh lexical cells emitted +for `$self` and `$n`, and it is not a proof that those cells can be pooled. A +current JFR/call-layer selection capture attributes the hot named method path +to 32,813,870 `shared-args-instance-apply` operations at 1,756.67 ns/op +inclusive (1,610.67 ns/op body); generated bytecode inspection confirms fresh +`RuntimeScalar` construction followed by lexical-alias registration for both +arguments. A generic cell pool is rejected: references, argument aliases, +dynamic source, debugger/lexical inspection, recursive activation, and +destructor timing require an explicit whole-body non-escape proof and a +runtime fallback, not merely immediate-unpack metadata. + +The current source (`50ef79575`) was measured with the complete seven-pair +alternating portfolio protocol under real host contention. All 14 processes +reported stable warmup. The artifact +`/tmp/perf-method-highload-20260911/20260911T183640Z/portfolio.json` records +a 0.2194x PerlOnJava/Perl median method-throughput ratio (0.2349x mean; +0.2102x--0.3297x range). The run began with 20 users and load averages +3.16/7.48/9.41; unrelated PerlOnJava jobs raised the observed one-minute load +to 17.25 during collection. This is valuable load-conditioned selection +evidence, not a quiet-host acceptance claim. Do not compare it directly to +the historical quiet-host candidate deltas. + +### Rejected active-pad registration elision (2026-09-11) + +A guarded experiment retained the fresh lexical cells and list-assignment +semantics but omitted their active-pad registration only for callback-free, +lexical-only immediate-unpack CVs with plain argument values. The full +`make` gate passed. It was rejected and removed after the three-pair +high-load selection artifact +`/tmp/perf-method-pad-elision-selection-20260911/20260911T185408Z/portfolio.json` +measured a 0.1959x median method ratio (0.1866x mean; +0.1489x--0.2148x range), below the preceding 0.2194x loaded-host reference. +All six processes stabilized, so this is sufficient negative selection +evidence despite host variance. The active lexical-frame map is already +reused by depth; eliminating its registration did not remove the fresh scalar +allocation budget and must not be retained as a speculative escape-analysis +hint. + +### Read-only direct-argument lexical lowering contract (2026-09-11) + +The next generated-method candidate must lower before lexical-cell allocation, +not substitute a value after `NEW RuntimeScalar`: the latter preserves the +dominant allocation. The JVM declaration emitter owns both the lexical JVM +slot and that allocation, while the existing fixed-arity unpack helper owns +the subsequent copy. A correct fast branch may bind the slot to the current +`@_` element only when a whole-body analysis proves each selected lexical is a +scalar read, never an lvalue, reference, capture, argument to a user call, +dynamic-source input, or debugger/PadWalker target. The normal branch must +remain the existing fresh-cell unpack. + +Runtime entry guards must reject tied/proxy/readonly/magic arguments and any +active lexical-alias or debugger support. Missing arguments need an inert +undef read value, while extra arguments retain the normal `@_` frame. The +proof and tests must cover caller-side mutation, references, recursion, +`eval STRING`, `DESTROY`, tied values, and an explicitly rejected user-call +case. This is a general compiler lowering criterion; do not recognize the +portfolio method body or its hash keys as a special case. + +### Issue #1196 closure reproduction under host load (2026-09-11) + +The issue's `dev/bench/benchmark_closure.pl` reproduction completed under 20 +active users and load averages 13.02/18.72/18.42 at 163.51 iterations/s +(30.58 CPU seconds for 5,000 `timethis` iterations). Its 31-second JFR +recording (`/tmp/closure-issue1196-highload-20260911.jfr`) has 2,165 execution +samples and 3,384 allocation samples. Repeated stacks retain +`RuntimeCode.apply`, `coerceScalarCallResult`, return-boundary copying, and +the generated loop/closure bodies. The existing direct integer-addition leaf +entry is present in sampled stacks, but it still invokes the generated body +and scalar-result coercion. It is therefore not a complete zero-argument +closure ABI. Treat this as host-contended selection evidence only; preserve +the issue's caller/context/warning/closure-lifetime fallback constraints when +designing a broader direct entry. + +### Rejected direct-leaf return-coercion bypass (2026-09-11) + +The existing integer-capture direct leaf entry was changed experimentally to +retain temporary-root release while bypassing scalar coercion and lvalue +detachment. The complete `make` gate passed in 3m51s, but the same closure +reproduction regressed to 157.04 iterations/s (31.84 CPU seconds), compared +with the preceding loaded-host 163.51/s (30.58 CPU seconds). The change was +removed. Do not infer a gain from omitting a seemingly redundant return +boundary: it did not reduce the dominant generated-body/call cost and retains +ownership risk outside this narrow integer case. + +### Direct fresh-lexical `@_` unpack lowering (2026-09-10) + +The next narrow allocation repair removes the transient one-element +`RuntimeList` wrapper used only to carry `@_` into a void-context fresh lexical +declaration (`my ($x, ...) = @_`). The JVM emitter now recognizes exactly that +syntactic form and passes the existing argument `RuntimeArray` directly to +`RuntimeList.setFromArgumentArrayDiscardResultFreshScalars`. The runtime uses +the same dynamic guards as the existing fresh-scalar path: tied or non-plain +destination values, special RHS values, and identity aliases all fall back to +ordinary list assignment. This preserves `@_` aliasing and the generic list +ABI; it is not an argument-frame pool or a direct-return ABI. + +The ordinary-value and aliasing regressions +`fresh_lexical_argument_unpack.t` and +`fresh_lexical_argument_unpack_alias.t` pass under standard Perl, the JVM +backend, and the interpreter in focused runs; the later isolated-parent full +`make` gate passed (see the evidence audit above). The latter +proves that changing `$_[0]` still updates the caller while the just-unpacked +lexical retains its prior value. A timeout-bounded post-warmup JFR attempt +captured only one second before the process exited, so it cannot support a +numerical allocation or throughput claim. On a quiet host, record a +sufficiently long post-warmup capture and compare alternating fresh method +processes with the parent before retaining or broadening this candidate. In +particular, distinguish the deliberately retained destination `RuntimeList` +from the eliminated RHS transport wrapper. + +### Fixed-arity fresh lexical slots (2026-09-10) + +The two most common method forms have one or two scalar lexical arguments. +For those same guarded void-context `my (...) = @_` declarations, the JVM now +creates the fresh lexical slots and passes them directly to fixed-arity runtime +helpers. This removes the destination `RuntimeList`, its `ArrayList`, and its +backing array on the ordinary path without introducing a varargs array. Tied +or special RHS values retain the generic list-assignment implementation. The +standard-Perl, JVM, and interpreter unpack/alias regressions passed focused +runs, and the later immutable candidate full `make` gate passed (see the +evidence audit above). + +A delayed JFR recording (25-second warmup, 30-second recording) contains +6,685 allocation samples and 156 execution samples. Unlike the earlier method +capture, it has no sampled `RuntimeList` or `ArrayList` allocation in the hot +method body. This is useful allocation attribution, not a throughput result. +The first allocation sample attributes a 25 GB weight to a `RuntimeArray` +at `RuntimeCode.methodArgsWithSelf`; this requires boundary validation before +ranking the remaining sources. Do not pool arbitrary argument +frames: the prior ownership proof failed. Instead find a representation that +preserves `@_` aliases, retained frame references, tail calls, exceptions, and +non-local control flow before changing this boundary. + +The existing `reusableEmptyArgs` implementation is a reference for a possible +experiment, not a safety proof for nonempty reuse: it is runtime-local and +uses static metadata with debugger fallback. The hot method's only +static `@_` occurrence is now the direct fresh-lexical unpack. Do not treat +that fact alone as sufficient: first extend metadata to distinguish this exact +lowered use from a later `@_` read, mutation, reference, `caller`/debugger +observation, nested dynamic source, or recursive re-entry. Any reusable +nonempty frame must be leased per active depth and returned only when that +proof holds; otherwise construct the current fresh `RuntimeArray`. + +### Guarded RHS transport scope (2026-09-10) + +The broad direct-`@_` RHS transport lowering was measured separately from the +fixed-slot lowering, using seven alternating fresh-process method pairs against +parent `ab58a1c59`. Candidate `c336e736e` had a 0.9636x median ratio (0.9591x +mean; range 0.9086x--1.0102x). It is therefore a repeatable negative result, +not a portfolio contribution: bypassing the generic RHS `RuntimeList` for all +fresh declaration arities must not be retained. + +The current emitter consequently limits that direct transport to the +independently measured one- and two-slot declarations. Three or more fresh +lexicals use the prior generic RHS list transport while retaining the existing +guards and fixed-slot lowering where applicable. The new permanent +`fresh_lexical_argument_unpack_three.t` regression proves ordinary values, +missing values, and `@_` aliasing; it passed standard Perl, JVM, and +interpreter focused runs. The immutable full `make` gate passed in 3m25s. + +In contrast, the retained fixed-slot candidate `6b5cdec6c` was compared with +its parent in seven alternating pairs: median 1.0495x, mean 1.0627x, range +1.0111x--1.1646x. This is evidence to retain the one/two-slot lowering, but +not evidence that the complete portfolio meets the 1.00x goal. + +A delayed 30-second JFR capture of the current guarded path, excluding each +event thread's initial allocation sample from attribution, estimates 14.1 GB +in the generated hot method body, 7.65 GB in `PerlRangeIntegerIterator.next`, +and 6.05 GB in `RuntimeCode.methodArgsWithSelf`. CPU sampling was too sparse +to rank. Do not reuse the range iterator generically: an implicit `$_` in a +loop whose body calls a method can be observed or retained. The next structural +selection target is generated-method scalar churn and its call ABI, with an +explicit non-overlapping budget and safety proof before any representation +change. + +### Corrected JSON allocation ranking (2026-09-10) + +A fresh delayed JSON JFR capture exposed an important sampling correction: +the apparent 39.6 GB constant-`RuntimeList` copy was the recording's first +allocation sample and must not be used to rank work. Excluding each event +thread's initial sample, the leading allocation sites are instead generic +`RuntimeCode.apply` `RuntimeArray` construction (1,630 samples), +`RuntimeArray.get` proxy entries (1,235), `RuntimeCode.apply` `RuntimeList` +wrappers (527), and `RuntimeHash.get` proxy entries (516). Native JSON +decoding remains CPU-hot in `JsonReader.readValue`/`readObject`, but its +`readString` builder and resulting string allocations are materially smaller +than those generic paths. + +Two candidates were tested and discarded. The unescaped-string scan merely +replaced builder allocation with `substring` string/byte-array allocation. +A scalar-context constant-CV shortcut passed its full gate but left the +dominant list-context copy and still allocated a scalar result wrapper. Do +not revive either without a controlled parent comparison proving a net gain. +The next JSON structural candidate is a safe reduction of generic +argument-frame `RuntimeArray` construction or proxy-entry materialization; +it must retain `@_` aliasing, lvalue, exception, dynamic-scope, and +control-flow behavior. + +A later guarded simple-leaf experiment extended the reusable empty frame to +nonempty calls only when the emitted CV neither referenced `@_` nor dynamic +source and was already proven by `CleanupNeededVisitor` to contain no nested +user calls. It passed the standard-Perl oracle, JVM/interpreter focused test, +and a clean full `make` gate. A warmed allocation capture reduced sampled +`RuntimeCode.apply` `RuntimeArray` construction from 1,630 to 482 events, but +two alternating fresh-process parent/candidate JSON pairs measured only +0.9459x and 1.0099x (about 0.978x mean). The shortcut was discarded. Do not +revive broad argument-frame elision based on allocation samples alone; require +a controlled throughput gain and prioritize proxy-entry materialization or a +more localized call ABI reduction instead. + +### JSON native-path missing-option probes (2026-09-10) + +The next proxy allocation target was the native JSON eligibility CVs. Their +ordinary configuration has several absent optional hash keys; direct rvalue +reads created `RuntimeHashProxyEntry` objects even though the guard only needs +to decide whether to fall back. The guards now use `exists` before reading an +optional value, preserving present false/undef values and the established +fallback decision while avoiding an absent-slot proxy. Standard Perl's native +canonical test passed, and the clean full `make` gate passed in 6m50s. In a +warmed JFR capture, `RuntimeHashProxyEntry` disappeared from the sampled top +allocation sites (it had previously been 285--516 samples); array proxy +entries remain. Two alternating fresh-process JSON pairs measured 1.4173x and +1.0086x candidate/parent median throughput (1.213x mean). The spread is not +acceptance-quality evidence, but it is a positive localized diagnostic result; +retain the guard and next profile the remaining array proxy entries. + +The follow-up applied the same existence-before-fetch rule to sparse optional +indices in the `PROPS` array. A clean full `make` gate passed in 3m48s. A +15-second warmup/20-second JFR capture then removed +`RuntimeArrayProxyEntry` from the ranked allocation sites as well; the leading +remaining allocations are generic `RuntimeCode.apply` arrays/lists and backing +array growth. This is a verified allocation reduction, but it has not yet had +a separate controlled parent/candidate throughput comparison; do not count it +as acceptance evidence. + +### Constant-CV call-frame removal (2026-09-10) + +The next localized candidate removes an allocation that the generic direct-call +facade made before a constant CV could return: it built a fresh aliased `@_` +`RuntimeArray` even though `RuntimeCode.apply(RuntimeArray, ...)` immediately +returns `constantValue` without observing that frame. The native-array facade +now detects `constantValue` after normal call-target resolution and performs +the same lvalue legality check before returning the constant result. It does +not change argument evaluation, tied/readonly code-reference resolution, or +the instance constant-CV behavior. + +The standard-Perl constant oracle passed (45 assertions); JVM and interpreter +`constant.t` each passed (43 assertions). The immutable candidate full `make` +gate passed in 3m58s, while the exact parent `805736a0f` passed its separate +immutable full gate in 3m45s. A fresh 15-second-warmup/20-second JFR capture +reduced sampled `RuntimeCode.apply` `RuntimeArray` construction from 803 to +17 events (the remaining `RuntimeList` result wrapper is expected). In two +alternating fresh-process JSON comparisons against that exact parent, stable +warmups produced candidate/parent median ratios of 1.1223x and 1.1653x +(1.1438x mean). This is a localized retention result, not portfolio acceptance +evidence; the next profile should rank the still-material `RuntimeList` +wrappers, `Arrays.copyOf`, `RuntimeHash.exists` scalar churn, and +`methodArgsWithSelf` frames without weakening `@_` aliasing or call-boundary +semantics. + +### Rejected cached hash-exists booleans (2026-09-10) + +Returning the existing immutable boolean cache instead of a fresh scalar from +ordinary `RuntimeHash.exists` was tested because JFR attributed 1,386 sampled +scalar allocations to that method on the guarded JSON path. It preserved the +separate tied/autovivifying paths, passed the standard-Perl hash-exists oracle, +the focused JVM/interpreter `exists_hashref_zero` test, and a clean full +`make` gate in 3m34s. A broader interpreter autovivification failure was +checked against the exact parent and is pre-existing. + +The exact parent `c90f88f85` passed its own immutable full gate in 3m50s. +Two alternating fresh-process JSON comparisons produced only 1.0151x and +0.9889x candidate/parent median ratios (1.0020x mean), with stable warmups. +Discard the cache substitution: sampled allocation removal is not throughput +evidence here. Continue with a profile-selected operation that reduces a +whole transport or result representation, rather than a small scalar object +alone. + +### Historical portfolio triage: closure and method calls (2026-09-11) + +A one-pair diagnostic portfolio with 15 warmup and 15 measurement +windows suggested a shift away from JSON as the portfolio limiter: JSON measured +2.5306x Perl and numeric 1.2521x. The stable deficits were closure 0.2261x, +string 0.3913x, life 0.4880x, and regex 0.5359x; method measured 0.2155x but +its PerlOnJava warmup did not stabilize, so it is selection evidence only. +This is not acceptance evidence (one pair only and shortened warmup). The +source/JAR correspondence is also unresolved, as detailed in the audited +start section. Treat closure/call transport as a priority to verify, not an +authoritatively established current bottleneck. + +A startup-inclusive JFR capture accompanying 15 warmup and 20 measurement +windows of the closure workload showed `RuntimeCode.apply`, call-frame +bookkeeping and runtime thread-local lookup in sampled stacks. It does not +establish their exclusive steady-state CPU fractions. The workload performs +128 zero-argument closure calls per batch, reported as 128 operations. +`PerlRangeIntegerIterator.next` led the reported allocation-event count (4,297 +samples), from the implicit-topic `for (1..128)` loop; this is not a weighted +allocation budget. The existing reusable-topic lowering deliberately rejects that body +because it calls a closure: an arbitrary callee can observe or retain `$_`. +Do not widen the guard merely because this specific benchmark closure does not +read `$_`. The subsequent `cdafea338` metadata commit is not a sound proof of +non-observation: it checks variable references, not all implicit or transitive +effects. Follow the proof and activation gates in the audited start section +before considering any consumer or range-topic candidate. + +### Guarded zero-argument closure ABI (2026-09-11) + +Issue #1196's exact `benchmark_closure.pl` uses an explicit `return` around a +six-capture addition. A direct scalar entry now recognizes that terminal +return/list shell, records the capture names in expression order, and uses a +cached resolved-cell vector on ordinary calls. The vector is guarded by a +per-CV capture-rebinding epoch: `Internals.rebindCapturedVariable` advances +that epoch before its `Devel::LexAlias` or `PadWalker` caller changes a cell, +so the next direct call resolves the current `closedOverVariables` mapping. +Integer, untainted, unblessed, non-wide values use `Math.addExact`; overflow, +aliases, ties, objects, strings, taint, lvalue calls, and every non-matching +body retain the generic call boundary. + +`direct_closure_integer_addition.t` passes standard Perl and both backends. +The first cached-cell implementation failed `devel_lexalias_padwalker.t`; the +epoch-authoritative correction passed the full `make` gate in 4m27s under load, +and the focused test passes on both backends. At 20 users and load averages +18.70/29.25/32.26, the pre-epoch issue reproduction ran at 520.31 calls/s; +contemporaneous standard Perl was 613.50 calls/s (0.848x). JFR +`/tmp/closure-alias-authority-20260911.jfr` samples the evaluator body (lines +6189--6193), not generic fallback line 6211. + +Two subsequent alternating fresh-process pairs for the epoch candidate, +`/tmp/perf-issue1196-closure-capture-epoch-20260911/20260911T201043Z/portfolio.json`, +had stable warmups and matching checksums. Their medians were 13,025,427 and +13,119,953 PerlOnJava operations/s versus 14,601,253 and 14,765,850 standard +Perl operations/s: 0.8921x and 0.8885x. The preceding two-pair selection on +the same workload measured 0.7824x and 0.8030x; differing host load means this +is directional retention evidence, not a controlled parent/candidate proof. +It nevertheless confirms the cache removes a meaningful steady-state cost +without weakening rebinding semantics. It remains below the 1.05x anchor; +extend the shape only with a separately proven ABI. + +### Issue #1196 Life confirmation under load (2026-09-11) + +The documented 200x200, 10,000-generation no-display workload completed in +45.147 seconds (9.92 Mcells/s) with 20 users and load averages falling from +19.70/26.68/30.90 to 15.58/24.61/29.90. JFR +`/tmp/life-issue1196-highload-20260911.jfr` has 1,508 execution samples. +It confirms that dynamic word values are not merely small-integer cache misses: +the hot stacks include `BigInteger.and` through `BitwiseOperators.unsignedResult`, +as well as `currentArgumentAliasFrame` and scalar copies while materializing +`next_generation_parallel(@_)`. Do not expand scalar caching or borrow that +argument frame. The next Life design must establish a generated, non-escaping +unsigned-word expression representation and a direct argument ABI with explicit +fallback for aliases, references, mutation, control flow, and wide values. + +### Native-representable unsigned bitwise results (2026-09-11) + +The narrow representation repair keeps `BigInteger` only for upper-half UVs. +When a masked bitwise `BigInteger` result fits a signed native IV, +`BitwiseOperators.unsignedResult` now returns the ordinary native scalar +representation. This preserves Perl's numeric and string results while stopping +32-bit masks from propagating `BigInteger` through later Life expressions. +`bitwise_unsigned_native_result.t` passed standard Perl and both backends; the +full gate passed under load in 5m53s. A same-shape Life run completed in 38.605 +seconds (11.60 Mcells/s), versus the preceding 45.147s (9.92 Mcells/s) loaded +baseline. Host conditions differ, so treat the 14.5% reduction as selection +evidence pending paired measurement, not final portfolio evidence. + +Two alternating fresh-process pairs in +`/tmp/perf-issue1196-current-20260911/20260911T195858Z/portfolio.json` +provide that first paired selection: closure ratios were 0.7824x and 0.8030x, +while Life ratios were 0.5369x and 0.5184x. Warmups stabilized and semantic +checksums matched. Host load changed from 7.54/19.19/26.46 to +18.12/18.81/24.43 during the run, so retain the small sample as a directional +post-change baseline; it proves both anchors remain below the 1.05x target. + +### Complete rebased issue #1196 portfolio (2026-09-11) + +The exact rebased checkout completed the full acceptance protocol: seven +alternating fresh-process pairs for every scored workload, fifteen one-second +windows per process, stable warmups, and matching semantic checksums. The +source then passed its immutable full `make` gate in 3m53s. The artifact is +`/tmp/perf-issue1196-rebased-full-20260911/20260911T202130Z/portfolio.json`; +its report is +`/tmp/perf-issue1196-rebased-full-20260911-analysis.json`. It began with 20 +users at load 6.95/11.65/15.54 and remained realistically contended (observed +one-minute load reached 27.52 during Life), yet every warmup stabilized. The +report therefore marks it authoritative and a decisive negative result. + +The workload-median geometric mean is 0.7003x standard Perl (bootstrap 95% CI +0.6858--0.7291), far below the 1.05x objective. Closure is 0.8684x +(0.8646--0.9050), an improvement over the preceding two-pair cache selection +but still below its anchor; Life is 0.5093x (0.5032--0.5326). Method remains +the minimum at 0.2265x; string and regex are 0.5363x and 0.5060x; +numeric is 1.2045x and JSON 2.5212x. Retain the capture-epoch cache, but do +not claim parity or spend another iteration on its result-wrapper mechanics. +The next implementation target is the independently dominant method-call +boundary, with a guarded direct argument representation and explicit aliases, +recursion, dynamic-scope, lvalue, exception, and control-flow fallback proof. + +### Rebased method allocation selection (2026-09-11) + +A fresh bounded JFR recording of the current method workload is +`/tmp/method-current-rebased-20260911.jfr` (60 seconds, profile settings; +`/tmp/method-current-rebased-20260911.log`, exit 0). The workload reached a +stable warmup despite the loaded host. Its allocation events must not be read +as an exact byte ledger, but their structural attribution is decisive: 5,530 +`RuntimeScalar` samples originate in generated `anon583.apply`, the benchmark +method's `$self->{x/y} += $n` body. Only 27 `RuntimeArray` samples originate +at `methodArgsWithSelf`; broad frame reuse is therefore still the wrong next +experiment. CPU sampling is sparse (18 samples) but independently retains +`invokeWithCallFrame`, `enterCalleeWarningScope`, `exitCall`, scalar result +coercion, and `RuntimeScalar` hash dereference on the active path. + +The next candidate must be a generated-method, scalar-context lowering for a +plain unblessed hash receiver, literal key, native-integer compound update, +and immediate scalar use. It needs a generic fallback for ties, overload, +blessing, references, lvalue observation, aliases, mutation, warnings, +exceptions, dynamic callers, recursion, and non-local control flow. Do not +reuse the argument frame or replace general hash entry semantics merely because +this benchmark method is simple. + +### Rejected: broad wide-UV bitwise word conversion (2026-09-11) + +Life still sampled `BigInteger.and` after the retained narrow unsigned-result +repair. A candidate therefore performed `&`, `|`, and `^` directly on the low +64-bit Java words for every INTEGER operand, including upper-half UV +`BigInteger` values. A new standard-Perl oracle and both PerlOnJava backends +passed, and the immutable full `make` gate passed in 3m44. The candidate is +nevertheless rejected: two checksum-matched, stable alternating Life pairs in +`/tmp/perf-life-wide-word-20260911/20260911T212127Z/portfolio.json` measured +0.5006x and 0.4969x Perl, below the retained rebased portfolio's 0.5093x +Life median. Do not revive this broad conversion from allocation intuition; +the next Life candidate needs an expression-level, non-escaping proof and a +material paired gain. + +### Source-matched regex matcher-lifecycle selection (2026-09-11) + +The first regex JFR taken after rejecting the wide-UV candidate is invalid as +selection evidence: its development JAR still contained that candidate even +though the source had been restored. It was allowed to finish without mutating +the checkout, then the exact restored source passed a fresh immutable `make` +gate in 4m08s (commit `e6667430f`). The replacement, source-matched recording +is `/tmp/regex-source-matched-rebased-20260911.jfr`; its companion workload +log exited 0 with a stable warmup and checksum `1024` under the loaded host. + +The 60-second profile contains 3,772 execution and 17,730 allocation samples. +The Joni engine is still a material cost (`ByteCodeMachine.executeSb`, +`Matcher.search`, and `JoniRegexMatcher.find`), but matcher lifecycle now has +an independent non-engine budget: `ThreadLocalMap.getEntry` is the leading +top frame (477 samples), and JFR attributes 6,127 sampled +`JoniRegexMatcher` wrapper allocations. The feature-free native matcher is +already pooled, so this is wrapper creation and pool lookup rather than a +reason to remove Joni pooling. Position publication (`RuntimePosLvalue`) and +warning checks are visible but much smaller. + +Do not pool `JoniRegexMatcher` by simply rebinding it. A successful wrapper is +installed as `regexState.globalMatcher` for later capture and match-variable +queries; named captures can also read its underlying matcher. The next regex +candidate is therefore a post-success immutable capture snapshot for eligible +feature-free, unnamed-capture patterns, followed by a runtime-local recyclable +execution cursor. It requires explicit fallback for named/physical captures, +callbacks, control verbs, locale, deferred properties, alarms, `/g` retry, +`\\G`, and any observable saved-match state. Establish the oracle and guard +hit rate before implementation, and accept it only with checksum-matched +alternating pairs that materially improve the 0.5060x portfolio anchor. + +### Rejected: runtime-owned Joni matcher-pool lookup (2026-09-12) + +The first narrow implementation moved feature-free Joni matcher pools from a +per-pattern `ThreadLocal` to auxiliary state owned by the active +`RuntimeRegexState`; direct matching passed the already-resolved state down to +the Joni adapter. Low-level Java users that deliberately have no bound +`PerlRuntime` retained the previous per-pattern fallback pool. This preserved +runtime and ithread ownership rather than sharing mutable matchers across +threads. The candidate initially exposed that no-runtime boundary in Joni unit +tests, was corrected, and then passed its complete immutable `make` gate in +3m53s. + +It is rejected on measurement, not correctness. A detached parent worktree at +`9c39ad5a6` and candidate `227174c33` both received complete gates, then seven +checksum-matched, fresh-process, alternating regex pairs ran under the loaded +host. The durable artifact is +`/private/tmp/perf-regex-parent-candidate-20260911.json`. Every pair returned +checksum `1024`; ratios were 0.9990, 1.1082, 1.0955, 1.0120, 0.9948, 0.9735, +and 1.0011x candidate/parent. The median is 1.0011x and geometric mean 1.0251x, +but the final two pairs did not stabilize their warmups, so the artifact is +explicitly non-conclusive. Even the stable subset does not establish a +material, order-robust gain sufficient to justify a new runtime cache and +embedding fallback. Revert this candidate; profile the remaining Joni engine +budget or a provably snapshot-safe cursor design instead. + +### Regex cursor/snapshot ownership boundary (2026-09-12) + +Source inspection refines the remaining regex design. `JoniRegexMatcher.find` +already returns its native Joni `Matcher` to the per-pattern, per-thread pool +in its `finally`; the allocation still visible in JFR is the Java +`JoniRegexMatcher` wrapper. It cannot simply be pooled because +`RuntimeRegex.match` and substitution publish it as +`RuntimeRegexState.globalMatcher`, and `$1`, `@-`, `%+`, `$^R`, `pos`, and +failed-match preservation can subsequently read it. + +The safe split is therefore an execution cursor plus an immutable +`RegexMatcher` snapshot. On each successful match, the cursor must copy its +numbered capture strings and bounds, named-group map where eligible, visible +start/end, consumed start, last-closed capture, control state, pattern +description, and source input into the snapshot before publication. The local +cursor must remain live through a `/g` loop; only when the owning top-level +operation has finished may it return to a bounded runtime-local cursor pool. +That means snapshotting cannot be deferred until the next regex operation. + +The first implementation must exclude named/physical captures and code-block +captures (`$^R`), callbacks, control verbs, deferred properties, locale, +alarms, `\\G` retry state, and all match paths that return a matcher for a +later operation. Its permanent oracle must prove capture/offset preservation +after a succeeding match, a following failed match, a pooled cursor rebind to +a distinct subject, scalar and list `/g`, and substitution. Only then collect +guard-hit diagnostics and measure against the current 0.521463x regex anchor. + +### Rejected: zero-capture cursor snapshot pool (2026-09-12) + +Commit `fbbff23a0` implemented the smallest version of that design: only +non-locale Joni patterns with no captures or named groups, callbacks, control +verbs, deferred properties, non-Unicode warning handler, or alarm support +could publish an immutable overall-match view and return their Java cursor to +one pattern/thread-local idle slot. The focused oracle passed unchanged on +system Perl and on both PerlOnJava backends; the candidate also passed the +full immutable `make` gate in 5m17s. The detached parent `e49982b8d` passed +its own full gate in 5m18s. + +Seven fresh-process, alternating high-load regex pairs then used 15 fixed +warmup windows and 15 one-second measured windows per side. Every result +returned checksum `1024`. Candidate/parent median-throughput ratios were +0.9236, 0.9117, 1.1540, 0.9634, 0.9609, 0.8838, and 0.9162x. The pair median +was 0.9236x and the geometric mean was 0.9558x; the lone improvement was +unstable, while no stable pair improved. This is a material regression, so +the pool was removed. Its system-Perl-validated oracle is retained as permanent +coverage for zero-capture match-state publication. Do not revive the +zero-capture snapshot implementation: the allocation reduction loses to its +publication and pooling overhead under realistic load. Any later cursor design +needs a different non-overlapping cost argument and a broader lifecycle proof. + +### Rejected: native-integer comparison shortcut (2026-09-12) + +Commit `3d36a80a0` used `Long.compare` when both `INTEGER` payloads were +ordinary Java `Number` values, retaining the `BigInteger` path for wide +values. The new numeric comparison oracle passed on system Perl and on both +PerlOnJava backends, and the candidate full immutable `make` gate passed in +4m10s; its detached parent `8aeac037c` passed in 3m46s. + +Seven fresh-process, alternating high-load numeric pairs used 15 fixed warmup +windows and 15 one-second measured windows per side. Every result returned +checksum `37478`. Candidate/parent median-throughput ratios were 0.9157, +0.9763, 1.0068, 1.0204, 0.9951, 0.9845, and 0.9636x. The pair median was +0.9845x and geometric mean 0.9798x; several parent warmups were unstable, but +the fully stable pairs also showed no material gain. The shortcut was removed, +while its system-Perl-validated numeric regression test remains permanent +coverage. Do not repeat this `Number` type-check path without a materially +different cost model. + +### Rejected: direct-leaf `+=` result transfer (2026-09-12) + +The current issue #1196 reproduction was refreshed on the source-matched JAR +after the native-comparison rejection. Standard Perl completed 5,000 benchmark +iterations at 651.89/s (7.67 CPU seconds), while the JVM completed 602.14/s +(8.30 CPU seconds) under 19 active users and load averages +1.84/5.21/10.07. Its bounded JFR recording is +`/tmp/issue1196-closure-current-20260912.jfr`. The guarded direct-addition +entry was active, but its `new RuntimeScalar(sum)` site dominated the sampled +allocation output (2,366 `RuntimeScalar` samples); this selected a direct +consumer experiment rather than another generic call-boundary guard. + +That candidate recognized only an ordinary scalar `$target += $coderef->()` +whose no-argument lexical coderef retained the existing direct integer-addition +marker. It transferred the primitive sum directly into an ordinary native +integer target; taint mode, wide values, overflow, blessed or non-integer +targets, and every unselected closure retained the ordinary `apply` plus +`MathOperators.addAssign` path. Its new project-owned oracle passed on system +Perl and both PerlOnJava backends, and the candidate full `make` gate passed in +3m54s. + +Seven fresh-process alternating JVM pairs ran the exact issue reproduction. +All returned `done 1440000`. Candidate/parent ratios were 1.0159, 0.9949, +1.0168, 0.9877, 0.9749, 0.9992, and 1.0019x: median 0.9992x and geometric +mean 0.9987x. The transfer was removed because the measured allocation +reduction is throughput-neutral under realistic load. Its standard-Perl- +validated behavioral test remains permanent coverage. Do not retry this +consumer fusion unchanged; a future closure improvement needs a broader, +independently budgeted representation reduction. + +### Issue #1196 Life representation selection refresh (2026-09-12) + +The exact default Life reproduction (`examples/life_bitpacked.pl -r none`) ran +under the current source-matched JAR at 10.45 Mcells/s (6.123 elapsed seconds) +versus system Perl's 20.49 Mcells/s (3.124 seconds). Its bounded JFR artifact +is `/tmp/issue1196-life-current-20260912.jfr`. Default dimensions round to +128x100, so the script intentionally uses its random initializer and final +live-cell totals are not cross-process checksums. A deterministic glider run +does match on both engines at 100 and 5,000 generations (9 and 4 final live +cells respectively); there is no new Life correctness discrepancy. + +The post-native-word JFR still crosses `next_generation_parallel` through +`RuntimeCode.apply`, `invokeWithCallFrame`, argument-alias cleanup, fresh +lexical setup, and `RuntimeList`/`RuntimeArray` copying. Bitwise helpers remain +visible, but no longer dominate the allocation report; generic `RuntimeScalar` +allocation (1,359 samples) and call/argument representations are the broader +remaining budget. The source body's immediate `my @current = @_` is a +candidate for a new general read-only array-unpack representation, not a +Life-specific recognizer: its static proof must reject every write, reference, +closure, dynamic source, callback, `@_` observation, alias/rebind, control +flow, debugger, or destructor exposure. The runtime must retain the existing +fresh-copy path whenever the proof or call shape is uncertain. Establish +system-Perl-selected and fallback regressions before implementation; do not +revisit native-word conversion or temporary result-cell reuse unchanged. + +### Rejected: immediate read-only argument-array borrow (2026-09-12) + +An implementation was built for the general immediate form `my @copy = @_`, +with a whole-body proof intended to permit only indexed reads and to reject +mutation, references, returns, callbacks, dynamic source, closures, debugger, +LexAlias, and non-plain argument cells. The permanent +`argument_array_borrow.t` coverage passes on system Perl and both PerlOnJava +backends for the selected read-only shape and the rejected mutation/reference/ +callback boundaries. Four immutable full `make` gates passed while developing +the candidate (the final log is +`/tmp/make-argument-array-borrow-eligibility-20260912.log`, 3m48s). + +It is nevertheless rejected before measurement: opt-in runtime selection +diagnostics never initialized for either a minimal read-only subroutine or the +Life workload, proving that the emitted lowering was not selected. The source +implementation was removed rather than retaining dead compiler complexity. +Do not report or infer a Life gain from this experiment. A future attempt must +first add a compiler-level selected/rejected assertion for the exact emitted +subroutine shape, then collect a source/JAR-matched paired measurement only +after that assertion proves the hot path is active. + +### Flat Life baseline and JFR attribution (2026-09-12) + +The existing `-a flat` Life representation is the stronger #1196 runtime +anchor under current realistic load. One source/JAR-matched diagnostic pair +measured system Perl at 20.43 Mcells/s (3.132 seconds) and PerlOnJava at 14.08 +Mcells/s (4.546 seconds): approximately 0.689x, substantially closer than the +default two-dimensional parallel path's earlier 0.510x result. Raw logs are +`/tmp/life-flat-perl-20260912.log` and +`/tmp/life-flat-jperl-20260912.log`. + +`/tmp/issue1196-life-flat-current-20260912.jfr` attributes the remaining hot +body to generated `anon206.apply`: native bitwise helpers still repeatedly +perform numeric eligibility checks and create scalar results, while lexical +setup/copying and `RuntimeArray.setElement` remain visible. The once-per- +generation named call frame is present but is not the principal flat-loop +budget. Future candidates must therefore reduce a proven repeated scalar +expression representation or operation dispatch in a general compiler path; +do not mistake the flat representation choice itself for a runtime fix, and +do not revive the rejected native-integer comparison shortcut unchanged. + +### Rejected: fused numeric `(~$x) & $mask` (2026-09-12) + +A general JVM lowering fused numeric `(~left) & right` when both evaluated +operands were ordinary native integer scalars, retaining the existing +`bitwiseNot` followed by `bitwiseAnd` sequence for strings, ties, magic, +overload, non-native integers, and every other case. The focused +`bitwise_not_and_fusion.t` oracle passed system Perl and both PerlOnJava +backends; the candidate and a detached `f85875fbb` parent each passed full +immutable gates (3m52s and 3m58s respectively). + +It is rejected. Seven alternating fresh-process flat-Life pairs under the +loaded host measured candidate/parent ratios 1.0129, 0.9683, 0.9937, 0.9877, +1.0214, 0.9891, and 0.9865x (median 0.9891x; geometric mean approximately +0.9941x). Although the fusion removes a visible BigInteger intermediate, it +does not improve the complete workload. The source lowering was removed; keep +the semantic test, but do not retry this two-operand fusion unchanged. + +### Rejected: direct existing plain-array element store (2026-09-12) + +`RuntimeArray.setElement` was narrowed for an already-present slot in a +non-shared plain array: after its existing bounds and null checks, it called +the element cell directly rather than re-entering `get(indexValue)` to repeat +those checks. The permanent `array_existing_element_store.t` oracle passed on +system Perl and both PerlOnJava backends, including negative indexing and an +argument-alias store. The candidate and detached `a6a5342c3` parent each +passed complete immutable `make` gates (3m45s and 4m08s respectively). + +It is rejected. Seven alternating fresh-process flat-Life pairs under the +loaded host measured candidate/parent ratios 0.9910, 0.9911, 1.0000, 1.0348, +1.0200, 1.0104, and 0.9944x (median 1.0000x; geometric mean approximately +1.0058x). This generic accessor shortcut does not clear the 10% retention +bar; the source was restored while the semantic regression remains. Do not +retry the same direct-store shortcut unchanged. + +### Rejected: numeric bitwise-not overload bypass (2026-09-12) + +`bitwiseNot` was given the same early ordinary-numeric dispatch as the binary +bitwise operators, bypassing its reference-only overload lookup for INTEGER +and DOUBLE cells. Existing unsigned-complement and overloaded-not tests passed +on system Perl; the candidate also passed both targeted PerlOnJava backend +checks and an immutable full `make` gate in 3m58s. Its detached `cadf85a00` +parent passed its exact full gate in 4m12s. + +It is rejected. Seven alternating fresh-process flat-Life pairs under the +loaded host measured candidate/parent ratios 0.9635, 0.9639, 1.0035, 1.0078, +1.0187, 1.0106, and 1.0136x (median 1.0078x; geometric mean approximately +0.9971x). The small reference-type check is not a material whole-workload +budget. The source was restored; do not retry this bypass unchanged. + +### Retained: direct scalar result for proven closure addition leaves (2026-09-12) + +The existing zero-argument captured-integer addition ABI proved that a selected +scalar call returns a fresh rvalue and immediately scalarizes a private +`RuntimeList`. The JVM emitter now first asks +`RuntimeCode.tryDirectLeafIntegerAddition` for that scalar directly. A +non-null result skips only the private list wrapper and its recycle path; a +null result invokes the unchanged `RuntimeCode.apply` boundary with its +original code reference, name, context, control-flow handling, and result +coercion. The exact marker, capture-epoch invalidation, integer/taint/blessing +guards, and overflow fallback remain authoritative in `RuntimeCode`. + +The existing closure-addition oracle and new +`direct_closure_scalar_fallback.t` passed on system Perl and both PerlOnJava +backends. The latter verifies that replacing the scalar CODE reference after a +marked call site takes the generic scalar path and still obeys list context. +The initial candidate full immutable gate passed in 4m12s; the final gate after +the fallback regression is required before commit. + +Against detached exact parent `49108168d` (whose immutable full gate passed in +3m48s), seven alternating fresh-process closure measurements used 10--60 +one-second warmup windows and 15 one-second measured windows per process. All +fourteen processes stabilized and returned checksum `9216`. Candidate/parent +median-throughput ratios were 1.2422, 1.2752, 1.2113, 1.2524, 1.2436, 1.2528, +and 1.2204x (median 1.2436x; geometric mean approximately 1.2424x). This is a +material, exact-parent closure-boundary retention result under the requested +high-load host. + +A subsequent source/JAR-matched standard-Perl closure portfolio at committed +`4535622a9` completed its seven default-protocol pairs under the same realistic +load. The artifact is +`/tmp/perf-direct-leaf-scalar-closure-vs-perl-20260912/20260912T141322Z/portfolio.json`; +its analyzer report is `analysis.md` beside it. All runs stabilized and the +report marks the evidence authoritative and stable. PerlOnJava/Perl ratios +were 1.0965, 1.0944, 1.0903, 1.0895, 1.0526, 1.1302, and 1.1164x; the closure +geometric mean is 1.0955x with 95% CI 1.0785--1.1117 (median 1.0944x). Thus +the closure anchor now independently clears the 1.05x objective under this +host condition. This one-workload report deliberately fails complete +portfolio acceptance because the other six scored workloads are absent. + +### Rejected: combined fresh-argument guard scan (2026-09-12) + +A 92-second warmed method JFR capture at `4535622a9` +(`/tmp/issue1196-method-current-20260912.jfr`) confirmed that the selected +two-scalar `my ($self, $n) = @_` lowering still allocates `ArrayList` iterators +in its separate plainness and identity-alias guards. The candidate combined +those checks into one indexed scan, retaining exactly the same generic +list-assignment fallback. System-Perl argument-copy, alias, and reusable-method +frame oracles passed; JVM and interpreter focused checks passed; the candidate +full immutable gate completed in 4m07s. Its detached `65145893f` parent passed +in 3m46s. + +It is rejected. Seven alternating fresh-process method pairs with 10--60 +warmup windows and 15 measured windows each all stabilized with checksum +`4352`. Candidate/parent ratios were 1.0449, 1.0027, 0.9734, 1.0147, 1.0178, +0.9954, and 1.0288x (median 1.0147x; geometric mean approximately 1.0109x). +The iterator reduction is not a material method-boundary improvement; source +was restored. Use the JFR only to select a representation-level argument-frame +or lexical-copy change, not to revive this guard consolidation unchanged. + +### Authoritative complete #1196 portfolio under realistic load (2026-09-12) + +Committed source `60b646c2e` completed the complete seven-workload, +seven-alternating-pair portfolio while the host remained under realistic load. +The runner exited zero and emitted +`/tmp/perf-current-full-highload-20260912/20260912T144910Z/portfolio.json`; +the repository analysis beside it reports `authoritative: true`, +`protocol_compliant: true`, `conclusive: true`, and +`measurement_quality: stable`. Every measured process completed its warmup and +semantic checksum. + +This is a stable negative baseline, not parity: the portfolio geometric mean +is 0.722450x Perl with a paired 95% interval of 0.683394--0.742653x, below the +1.05x acceptance target. Workload geometric means (with medians) are closure +1.105835x (1.111537x), method 0.214433x (0.213838x), numeric 1.206156x +(1.238907x), string 0.523090x (0.525067x), regex 0.511226x (0.509879x), Life +0.520572x (0.516152x), and JSON 2.466500x (2.524336x). The retained direct +closure result path is therefore confirmed under the full protocol, but it +cannot offset the broad method, string, regex, and Life deficits. + +Next selection work must use fresh source/JAR-matched JFR evidence to find a +representation-level reduction in the method call/lexical-copy boundary, then +screen it with exact-parent alternating pairs before another complete +portfolio. Do not infer a regression from the earlier 0.697486x baseline: its +absolute value used a different loaded-host sample; both artifacts are stable +and agree on the ranking of the material deficits. + +### Refreshed method call-boundary JFR selection (2026-09-12) + +After the current source/JAR gate (`627d59cc6`, `make` passed in 4m31s), a +bounded source-matched method diagnostic completed with checksum `4352`: +`/tmp/perf-method-current-jfr-fullportfolio-20260912/20260912T154207Z/portfolio.json`. +Its 92-second `method-pair-01.jfr` contains 22,126 allocation samples and 271 +CPU samples. This one-pair JFR is selection evidence, not a new throughput +claim. + +The hot generated `anon583` method still crosses fresh lexical construction +and `RuntimeList.setFreshScalarsFromArgumentArray`, while CPU samples also +reach `MortalList.deferDecrementIfTracked`, literal-pad materialization, +return-boundary copying, `RuntimeCode.enterCall`, and `effectiveCallContext`. +This agrees with the stable 0.214433x method portfolio result: no one +iterator, overload check, or direct hash-update leaf can close the gap. +Existing argument-cell borrowing remains excluded because it changes the +independent lexical cell identity and scope-cleanup lifetime. Any successor +must prove a non-escaping, non-observable lexical representation with a +complete ordinary-cell fallback across aliases, debugger, recursion, eval, +callbacks, exceptions, and destructor timing; measure it against this exact +parent before retaining it. + +### Rejected: activate immediate argument-cell borrowing (2026-09-12) + +The opt-in `DirectArgumentCopyDiagnostics` counter showed that the method +workload emits the existing lowering but selects it zero times (8,881,920 +rejections in a short bounded run). The rejection is the global +`lexicalAliasSupportEnabled` guard, which is enabled by bundled lexical +introspection support even when the selected CV has no alias. A narrow +candidate removed only that global rejection while retaining the per-CV alias +guard, and taught scope-exit cleanup to ignore cells identical to current +`@_` entries. + +It is rejected on correctness. The full candidate gate failed +`unit/overload/code_ref.t` and `unit/reusable_method_argument_frame.t`; those +failures demonstrate that cell identity/ownership remains observable outside +the local guard model. The candidate source was restored. The new permanent +`direct_argument_copy_borrowed_cleanup.t` regression records the required +caller-object destruction timing; it passes system Perl and both backends. +The restored source passed the immutable full gate under high load in 10m15s +(`/tmp/make-direct-argument-copy-activation-revert-20260912.log`). Do not +weaken the global lexical-introspection guard or retry this borrowed-cell +model without a complete frame-ownership design that addresses the two +existing regressions. + +### Refreshed string JFR selection (2026-09-12) + +The current source/JAR string diagnostic completed successfully at +`/tmp/perf-string-current-jfr-20260912/20260912T161323Z/portfolio.json`, with +a 91-second `string-pair-01.jfr` (26,123 allocation samples and 3,783 CPU +samples). This is selection evidence only. The steady generated string CV +repeatedly enters `StringOperators.stringConcatWarnUninitialized` for +definedness, blessing, stringification, and Java concatenation allocation, +then `Operator.substrImpl`. The broad string deficit therefore needs a +semantics-preserving representation reduction spanning the full ordinary +concatenation path; the earlier plain-unblessed leaf shortcut remains rejected. + +### Refreshed regex JFR selection (2026-09-12) + +The current loaded-host regex diagnostic completed at +`/tmp/perf-regex-current-jfr-20260912/20260912T161841Z/portfolio.json`; its +91-second recording has 19,427 allocation samples and 5,022 CPU samples. +Steady execution is dominated by Joni search, matcher construction/pool +borrow-release, global `pos()` publication, and matched-group materialization +in `RuntimeRegex.matchRegexDirect`. This is not evidence for reviving the +rejected zero-capture cursor pool: its seven-pair result regressed materially. +Any successor must reduce a non-overlapping regex state representation while +preserving `/g`, `pos`, capture publication, failed-match, and callback state. + +### Method lexical-copy bytecode attribution (2026-09-12) + +After restoring the rejected regex source, the immutable full `make` gate +passed in 3m48s, rebuilding the source-matched development JAR. A bounded, +filtered ASM trace of the current method workload is +`/tmp/method-anon583-asm-20260912.log`. It resolves the earlier allocation +profile's ambiguous generated-frame attribution: at the entry to generated +`anon583.apply`, the immediate `my ($self, $n) = @_` unpack emits exactly two +`new RuntimeScalar()` cells before `RuntimeCode.resolveLexicalAlias`. The +literal `x` and `y` keys already use occurrence-local `materializeLiteralPad`, +and `MathOperators.addAssign` updates the native-integer hash slots in place. + +The next method candidate is consequently execution-local reusable *copy +cells*, not literal-key caching, arithmetic specialization, or direct alias +binding. It must retain ordinary copy semantics: later mutation through `@_`, +references to an unpacked lexical, recursive re-entry, string eval, dynamic +lexical access, destruction lifetime, and every callback/control-flow path +must fall back to fresh cells. The permanent +`direct_argument_binding_guard.t` already demonstrates why borrowing argument +cells directly is incorrect. Before implementation, define a whole-body +non-escape proof for a narrow generated method shape and add selected/rejected +coverage for the pooled-copy lifecycle; only then measure it against the +0.2265x method anchor. + +### Rejected active-lexical top-frame probe (2026-09-12) + +Candidate `893e6b306` checked the top active-lexical frame before scanning +nested frames during lexical registration. Its source-matched full `make` gate +passed under the loaded host in 4m25s. The complete default method-only +portfolio at +`/tmp/perf-method-active-lexical-top-frame-20260912/20260912T163532Z/portfolio.json` +was protocol-compliant and conclusive at load averages 10.14/18.02/42.46. It +measured a 0.219376x median and 0.216458x paired geometric mean (95% CI +0.213153--0.219260), versus the current full-portfolio method anchor near +0.214x. That small movement does not meet the required 10% anchor or 5% +portfolio qualification threshold, so the source change was reverted. Keep the +existing full scan: a future lexical-registration redesign must demonstrate a +larger end-to-end reduction while preserving recursive and runtime-owned-CV +fallbacks. + +### Rejected: guarded direct two-field method update (2026-09-12) + +The next narrow candidate recognized only the exact body used by the method +workload: `my ($self, $n) = @_`, native-integer `x` and `y` compound updates, +and their returned sum. Its runtime entry rejected non-scalar context, +overflow, ties, `%{}` overload, shared/proxy/tainted values, missing slots, +and every non-ordinary integer before mutation. The permanent +`direct_method_hash_update_guard.t` passed standard Perl plus both PerlOnJava +backends, including tied-hash FETCH/STORE and overloaded hash-dereference +fallbacks. The candidate's complete gate passed in 3m32s; an ASM trace proved +the marker was emitted for the dynamic benchmark CV. + +It is nevertheless rejected. The exact detached parent `cd20d4b77` and +candidate `3c466e202` both passed complete gates, then seven checksum-matched, +fresh-process, alternating method pairs ran under realistic host load with 60 +one-second warmup windows and 15 measured windows per process. The append-only +pair artifact is `/private/tmp/perf-direct-method-parent-candidate-20260912-pairs.ndjson`; +its finalized summary is +`/private/tmp/perf-direct-method-parent-candidate-20260912.json`. All pairs +returned checksum `4352`. Candidate/parent ratios were 1.0183, 1.1007, +1.0304, 0.8844, 1.0277, 0.9627, and 1.0255x; pairs 2 and 3 had unstable +warmups. The all-pair median is 1.0255x and geometric mean 1.0051x, below the +10% retention bar and non-conclusive under the loaded host. The source was +restored and its final complete `make` gate passed in 3m46s. Do not revive this +direct method bypass: it adds a highly specialized semantic surface without a +material, order-robust reduction. Continue instead with reusable fresh copy +cells only after proving their complete escape and lifetime boundary. + +The implementation boundary for that next candidate is now explicit. The +generated body must acquire a leased *fresh* scalar rather than allocate and +then replace one; alias substitution after `new RuntimeScalar()` cannot reduce +the measured allocation. Lease ownership belongs to the active +`RuntimeCode.invokeWithCallFrame` execution frame, whose `finally` covers +ordinary return, exceptions, and non-local control flow. Do not release from +generated return labels alone. Static eligibility must exclude all lexical +escape/dynamic-source paths, while runtime eligibility must reject an active +lexical alias, debugger mode, and every value shape that can invoke Perl code +(tie, overload, autovivification, shared/proxy, or non-native scalar). Recursion +requires one independent leased pair per active call depth. Build those +selected/rejected lifecycle tests before changing the lowering, then measure +the allocation reduction against the exact current parent under the same +alternating high-load protocol. + +An implementation audit adds a further exclusion: normal JVM scope exit calls +`RuntimeScalar.scopeExitCleanup` and then nulls the local slot. That mutates +cell lifecycle state beyond its value (capture/scope-exit state, owned +references, IO and weak-reference bookkeeping). A shallow `RuntimeScalar[]` +pool is therefore not a valid first implementation: reusing a cell would need +an audited complete reset-and-release protocol, not merely `set(undef)`, and +would risk changing destruction timing. Do not add that pool until its reset +contract is independently specified and tested. Prefer a representation that +keeps the original ordinary lexical cells, or demonstrate a bounded +integer-only cell type whose lifecycle is provably empty on both acquisition +and release. + +### Method source-matched allocation selection (2026-09-12) + +A fresh 60-second source-matched JFR recording, +`/tmp/method-copy-cell-selection-20260912.jfr`, ran the method workload with a +stable 60-window warmup and checksum `4352` under realistic load. Its dominant +selected CV, `anon583` (the generated `add` body), accounts for 8,018 sampled +`RuntimeScalar` allocations; the enclosing workload CV `anon584` accounts for +2,602. The allocation counts are the extracted event counts in +`/tmp/method-copy-cell-selection-20260912-anon583-alloc-counts.txt` and +`/tmp/method-copy-cell-selection-20260912-anon584-alloc-counts.txt`. + +The same CPU capture shows only sparse samples in +`isCurrentArgumentAlias`, `setFreshScalarsFromArgumentArray`, and deferred +decrement helpers. Do not redirect this candidate toward a general alias-check +micro-optimization. The next representation experiment may instead borrow the +already-aliased `@_` scalar only when the whole body and runtime values prove +that its independent lexical identity is unobservable. Generated scope cleanup +must skip such borrowed locals; if the runtime guard selects fresh fallback +cells, the active `invokeWithCallFrame` `finally` must clean those cells before +the call returns. This is a different ownership model from pooling and needs +focused selected/borrowed/fallback/recursion tests before implementation. + +### Rejected: guarded immediate method-lexical borrowing (2026-09-12) + +The resulting narrow experiment marked only the exact source-matched `add` +body, then borrowed the two argument scalars for `$self` and `$n` only when +the runtime frame had exactly two ordinary, unshared, untainted native values, +the receiver was a plain hash with plain native-integer `x` and `y` slots, and +there was no debugger or lexical-alias state. Every other call took fresh +cells. The active call frame owned the fallback cells and cleaned them in its +`finally`; generated scope cleanup excluded only locals known to be +call-frame-owned. The permanent direct-method guard continued to pass under +system Perl and both PerlOnJava backends, and the candidate's complete `make` +gate passed in 4m14s. + +It is rejected on measurement. Exact parent `71d4a5cb9` and candidate +`69fe9a51a` were independently built, then measured in seven alternating, +fresh-process method pairs under the loaded host (60 one-second warmup windows +and 15 measured windows per process). All warmups stabilized and every run +returned checksum `4352`. Candidate/parent ratios were 0.9893, 0.9623, +0.9519, 0.9350, 1.0306, 0.9101, and 0.9480x: median 0.9519x and geometric +mean 0.9604x. The append-only pair artifact is +`/private/tmp/perf-borrow-fresh-method-parent-candidate-20260912-pairs.ndjson`; +the finalized summary is +`/private/tmp/perf-borrow-fresh-method-parent-candidate-20260912.json`. +The bookkeeping and conservative shape checks cost more than the eliminated +allocations. The source has been restored to the parent representation. Do not +revive argument-cell borrowing for this workload without an allocation profile +showing a materially cheaper ownership protocol and a fresh exact-parent +comparison. + +### Closure result and range-topic selection (2026-09-12) + +A source/JAR-matched, 76-second JFR plus call-layer diagnostic ran the current +closure workload at source `46b67d06f` and JAR SHA-256 +`2106d5ed5caca96bb378703217a9d829f3fba3e32a88217598da5b2e22e9e5bd`. +The artifact is +`/tmp/perf-closure-current-jfr-20260912/20260912T002954Z/closure-pair-01.jfr`; +the paired portfolio and call-layer report are in that same directory. The +host recorded load averages 3.98/6.92/7.88. Both engines returned checksum +`9216`; PerlOnJava's forced warmup stabilized, while standard Perl's did not. +Accordingly its 0.7141x instrumented pair ratio is not throughput evidence. + +The retained direct-leaf closure path is selected: its `new RuntimeScalar(sum)` +site in `RuntimeCode.applyDirectLeafIntegerAddition` appears in 2,591 sampled +`RuntimeScalar` allocation events. The generated outer closure's range +iterator appears in 9,398 of the 12,192 scalar allocation samples, and +`MathOperators.addAssign` boxing appears in 7,408 samples; these categories +overlap and must not be added into a byte estimate. CPU stacks also contain +the direct result-list acquire/recycle path and `invokeCallable`, but the +instrumented call-layer data is not exclusive enough to select a general +call-frame rewrite. + +The next proof target is therefore the range topic, not another method-cell +pool: determine whether a generated `for (integer range)` body can establish +that its implicit topic is unobservable for the full dynamic call graph. The +existing `doesNotObserveDynamicTopic` metadata is explicitly insufficient. +Only a selected path that proves every invoked CV remains the guarded direct +leaf, with an ordinary iterator fallback before any rebinding, could reuse an +ephemeral topic cell. It must cover code-ref replacement, aliases, callbacks, +`eval`, caller/debugger inspection, overload/tie, recursion and exception +re-entry. If that proof cannot be made generic, leave range iteration alone +and instead measure a scalar-result transport candidate against its exact +parent. + +### Rejected: guarded direct-leaf range-topic reuse (2026-09-12) + +The first implementation recognized exactly one implicit-topic range body: +a simple lexical accumulator `+=` a zero-argument lexical direct call. At +iterator creation it called a runtime guard that required debugger and taint +mode off, exact ordinary code and accumulator scalar classes, a guarded +direct-leaf integer-addition CV, and an unwatched, unblessed native-integer +accumulator without live substr observers. It otherwise selected the ordinary +iterator. The permanent `for_loop_test.t` extension passed system Perl (35/35) +and both PerlOnJava backends (35/35), including overloaded accumulator and +captured-overload callbacks that retain `\\$_` and therefore require distinct +topic cells. The candidate full `make` gate passed in 3m44s; exact parent +`ea4a4b44a` passed separately in 4m01s. + +It is rejected on measurement. Seven alternating fresh-process closure pairs +used forced 60-window warmups and 15 one-second measurement windows under the +loaded host. Candidate/parent ratios were 0.9892, 1.0401, 0.9999, 0.9750, +0.9917, 1.0147, and 0.9436x; pair 3 and pair 5 had unstable warmups. The +all-pair median is 0.9917x and geometric mean 0.9931x, below the material-gain +bar and non-conclusive under the stability protocol. The append-only evidence +is `/private/tmp/perf-direct-leaf-range-parent-candidate-20260912-pairs.ndjson` +and the final summary is +`/private/tmp/perf-direct-leaf-range-parent-candidate-20260912.json`. +The source has been restored to the parent representation. Do not revive this +guard unchanged: its runtime checks consume the allocation saving. A later +range-topic effort needs a broader, cheaper effect proof with a measured +non-overlapping CPU budget, not a closure-workload recognizer. + +### Current string-concatenation selection (2026-09-12) + +A source/JAR-matched 76-second JFR selection run of the current string +workload is `/tmp/perf-string-current-jfr-20260912/20260912T011520Z/`. +It recorded source `1404109e5b83a389e9125ccf809d2214d649e200`, JAR SHA-256 +`6e80aac4138ddab65bab0659f5912ae14f137496ca63cd0c9264961e74055469`, +checksum `24`, stable warmups, and host load averages 7.16/10.21/8.80. Its +one-pair 0.5357x Perl throughput is profiling-selection evidence, not an A/B +claim. CPU samples select `StringOperators.stringConcatWarnUninitialized` as +the leading string-specific non-boundary cost. Allocation samples rooted there +include 7,687 `RuntimeScalar`, 2,097 `String`, 230 `byte[]`, and temporary +`RuntimeScalar[]` allocations. Those sample categories overlap; they are not a +byte ledger. + +### Rejected: fixed-arity concat taint propagation (2026-09-12) + +The selected allocation observation led to a deliberately narrow candidate: +replace the two-input varargs call to `propagateTaint` with a fixed-arity +helper, retaining the variadic helper for genuine multi-input callers. The +standard-Perl byte-string oracle passed (2/2), and the candidate's immutable +full `make` gate passed in 3m57s. The exact parent gate passed in 3m37s. + +Seven fresh alternating string pairs compared parent source +`1404109e5b83a389e9125ccf809d2214d649e200` / JAR +`5e3b0851f6def78b8865edc027e12a79d3a8e3bba79fc09722e4b38f672268c9` +against candidate `f528a9ba6d574b90e32520831795caa170ba1a15` / JAR +`f787a148dd0fe82d116ab9c3698cabf2e7116f5c2f6b7a7af8732deb87e31f28`. +All checksums were `24` and every warmup stabilized. The candidate/parent +PerlOnJava ratios were 1.0376, 0.9857, 1.0210, 0.9947, 0.9898, 0.9395, and +0.9213; median 0.9898x and geometric mean 0.9835x. The candidate also ran at +lower recorded load (4.29/7.06/8.69 versus 8.67/11.01/10.28), so this is not +evidence of a gain hidden by greater contention. Raw portfolios are +`/tmp/perf-string-taint-parent-20260912/20260912T013119Z/portfolio.json` and +`/tmp/perf-string-taint-candidate-20260912/20260912T013756Z/portfolio.json`. +The source has been restored to the parent representation. Do not retry this +helper split alone: the allocation it avoids is below the material performance +threshold. Select the next string candidate from a source-matched CPU/allocation +budget that isolates a larger cost than generic taint propagation. + +### Rejected: guarded ordinary string-concat fast path (2026-09-12) + +The next candidate recognized only exact base `RuntimeScalar` byte-string, +string, and integer operands with no taint metadata and no active `bytes` +pragma. It returned before warning, tie, overload, and taint logic only when +those semantics were impossible; all other operands retained the existing +path. The strengthened byte-string/integer oracle passed on standard Perl +(4/4), and the candidate's full `make` gate passed in 3m34s. The exact parent +gate passed in 3m58s. + +Seven fresh alternating string pairs compared parent source +`0d2b27db7581ce6d92f4ce5d3751a869ec2f53b5` / JAR +`d96388b9669a3acc273361ce82ac5786c82567f1f6fbbf90e2c87b0fce95fa95` +with candidate `648400dc7e0edf3088231dc0e0a9790688d94826` / JAR +`f167c908986c9c54e7f11efda0ff287e92bf13de43da9d41bf33e28fd5572fdf`. +All checksum values were `24` and every warmup stabilized. Candidate/parent +PerlOnJava ratios were 1.0226, 0.9945, 1.0135, 1.0527, 1.0112, 0.9908, and +0.9985; median 1.0112x and geometric mean 1.0118x. This is below the material +gain threshold, particularly because the candidate's recorded host load was +lower (4.98/7.60/9.27 versus 10.85/13.25/11.45). The raw portfolios are +`/tmp/perf-string-plain-parent-20260912/20260912T020222Z/portfolio.json` and +`/tmp/perf-string-plain-candidate-20260912/20260912T020855Z/portfolio.json`. +The source has been restored to the parent representation. Do not revive this +runtime guard unchanged: its checks erase most of the small dispatch saving. +The next string candidate must remove a larger expression-level temporary or +select a non-overlapping CPU cost from a fresh profile. + +### Current method allocation refresh (2026-09-12) + +The current source-equivalent JFR selection run is +`/tmp/perf-method-current-jfr-20260912/20260912T022133Z/`. It recorded source +`bb92383a962036b7d0feeed078a633a125b23558`, JAR SHA-256 +`b93f3e0d3160505b866b51d318bbb862c84d7c7ea9421b9a2a1088f128ee80f7`, +checksum `4352`, and host load averages 6.47/9.76/9.24. The 76-second +recording has 18,349 allocation samples. Standard Perl's forced warmup +stabilized, but PerlOnJava's did not; its instrumented timing is therefore +not comparison evidence. + +The allocation selection remains decisive: generated method body `anon583` +accounts for 7,213 sampled `RuntimeScalar` allocations, the outer method +workload's range iterator for 4,002, and `MortalList.queueDeferredBase` for +2,356 `WeakReference` samples. The latter follows real lifecycle ownership +and is not a safe cleanup micro-optimization. The method's reusable immediate +`@_` frame appears only as 32 sampled `RuntimeArray` allocations, so extending +that representation cannot close the method gap. Do not revive direct +argument-cell borrowing or the direct two-field bypass: both were measured and +rejected. The only justified next method experiment is a fresh, bounded, +integer-only lexical-cell representation with a whole-body non-escape proof, +per-depth ownership, and fallback coverage for aliases, recursion, callbacks, +dynamic source, lvalue observation, exceptions, and destruction lifecycle. + +### Method lexical-cell reuse ownership contract (2026-09-12) + +Source inspection fixes the boundary for that experiment. The existing +`reusableImmediateMethodArgs` optimization borrows only a two-element +`RuntimeArray` from `ExecutionRuntimeState`; `anon583.apply` still creates its +two `RuntimeScalar` lexical cells before calling `RuntimeCode.resolveLexicalAlias`. +The reusable cells therefore cannot live on a `RuntimeCode`: a recursive call +of the same CV needs distinct cells, and an active lexical frame exposes each +call's cells to debugger and dynamic-source machinery while that call is live. + +If implemented, a candidate must attach a two-cell pad exclusively to the +already borrowed argument frame. `pushArgs` makes that frame current before +generated body execution and `popArgs` is the sole release boundary, so a +frame-local pad gives recursion a distinct allocation and makes reuse possible +only after both the argument and active-lexical frame have been removed. The +compiler must emit the borrowed cells only for one exact integer-only body +shape: immediate two-scalar `my ($self, $n) = @_`, no additional declarations, +closures, eval STRING, runtime regex source/callbacks, references to either +lexical, `local`, `state`, aliases, callbacks, exception/control-flow edges, +or later `@_` observation. Every other CV must keep the existing fresh-cell +path. + +`RuntimeCode.resolveLexicalAlias` remains mandatory at each declaration. If a +LexAlias replacement is configured, the candidate must bypass the pooled cell +for that slot and keep the replacement as the active lexical binding; it may +not return a replacement cell to the pool. The permanent oracle must cover +normal copy isolation from `@_`, recursive re-entry, reference capture, +eval-STRING visibility, LexAlias/tied destination behavior, and object +destruction after `@_` releases its alias. Only after those fallback cases are +proved on system Perl and both backends should a frame-local implementation be +measured against the method workload's 0.2265x Perl anchor. + +### Source-matched loaded-host method baseline (2026-09-12) + +The current source-matched JAR was built from `dcbd70114` +(`b53f23cb74e021f6f85f537dab9736023da5d029a13a9a3f2bf04aef816d4976`); +its immutable full `make` gate passed in 3m39s. A seven-pair method portfolio +then completed under realistic host load 8.45/10.49/9.65. Every Perl and +PerlOnJava process returned checksum `4352`, and every warmup stabilized. +Median throughputs and candidate/Perl ratios were: 1.642993M/7.377522M +(0.222703x), 1.580538M/7.288576M (0.216851x), 1.562563M/7.232775M +(0.216039x), 1.595596M/7.321138M (0.217944x), 1.509404M/7.095302M +(0.212733x), 1.531341M/7.188146M (0.213037x), and +1.536747M/7.021425M (0.218865x). The median is 0.216851x and geometric mean +is 0.216858x. The durable raw artifact is +`/tmp/perf-method-baseline-20260912/20260912T030857Z/portfolio.json`. + +This is the current method anchor for the frame-local lexical-cell experiment. +It confirms a large, stable deficit rather than a warmup artifact; a candidate +must make a material improvement while retaining the ownership contract above. + +### Rejected: frame-local method lexical-cell reuse (2026-09-12) + +Candidate `b034bc670` recognized only the exact four-statement method body in +the method workload: immediate `my ($self, $n) = @_`, two literal-key `x`/`y` +compound updates, and their returned sum. It borrowed two cells only from the +already execution-local reusable argument frame, cleared them with +`RuntimeScalar.undefine()` after the active lexical frame left scope, and kept +the generic path for every other body shape, debugger mode, and LexAlias +replacement. The permanent six-assertion oracle covered repeated calls, +tied-hash FETCH/STORE behavior, and overloaded hash dereference; it passed +system Perl, the JVM backend, and the interpreter. The candidate's source- +matched full `make` gate passed in 3m40s. + +Seven fresh-JVM pairs compared parent `dcbd70114` with candidate `b034bc670`. +All candidate samples had checksum `4352` and stabilized warmups. Candidate/ +parent ratios were 0.994300x, 1.050332x, 1.031990x, 0.993138x, 1.032211x, +1.088421x, and 1.015022x (median 1.031990x; geometric mean 1.028886x). +The parent recorded host load 8.45/10.49/9.65 and the candidate 9.06/12.89/ +11.86, so this already-small result cannot justify a micro-optimization under +the structural 10% selection bar. Raw artifacts are +`/tmp/perf-method-baseline-20260912/20260912T030857Z/portfolio.json` and +`/tmp/perf-method-lexical-cells-candidate-20260912/20260912T033328Z/portfolio.json`. + +Revert the candidate. Do not revive this exact frame-local cell strategy; +though its ownership proof is sound, it does not close enough of the 0.2169x +method gap. The next method selection must target a larger call-boundary or +per-iteration allocation source with an independently material Amdahl budget. + +### Post-revert loaded-host allocation refresh (2026-09-12) + +The restored source at `616a84485` received one fresh method JFR portfolio at +`/tmp/perf-method-post-revert-jfr-20260912/20260912T034550Z/portfolio.json`. +The 76-second recording has 19,197 allocation samples; both engines returned +checksum `4352`, and PerlOnJava stabilized its 60 one-second warmup windows. +Standard Perl did not stabilize under host load 9.94/12.57/11.62, so this is +allocation-selection evidence only, not a new throughput anchor. + +The JFR confirms 9,579 sampled `RuntimeScalar` allocations in generated +`anon583.apply` (40.94 GB sampled weight), followed by 3,132 in the observable +`for 1 .. 64` iterator (13.35 GB). The latter cannot be generically reused: +the method body can observe or retain implicit `$_`. `registerActiveLexical` +accounts for 1,668 `HashMap.Node` samples (7.06 GB), but its active frame and +map are already recycled; each remaining node represents a live lexical +identity that DB eval, runtime regex source, PadWalker, or Devel::LexAlias may +observe. Do not elide that registration without an explicit whole-CV +non-observability proof and a new material Amdahl budget. The next viable +method work therefore remains a larger call-boundary representation change, +not iterator or registry pooling. + +### Dense method CPU selection under load (2026-09-12) + +The default JFR execution sampling was too sparse to rank the restored method +path, so a bounded 1 ms capture ran its 60-window warmup and 15-window method +workload at current source `0486edf89`. Its command was guarded by `timeout +180`; it returned checksum `4352` and wrote +`/tmp/perf-method-cpu-1ms-20260912.jfr` (18,048 allocation samples and 424 +execution samples). Instrumentation made its warmup unstable, so this is CPU +selection evidence rather than throughput evidence. + +Filtering to the final 20 seconds leaves 222 execution samples. The leading +exclusive sites are `ArrayList.removeLast` (40), +`MortalList.processDeferredEntriesFrom` (33), +`RuntimeBase.releaseTransientTraceOwner` (27), +`IdentityHashMap.get` (21), and `MortalList.flushAboveMark` (13). The same +tail has `MortalList.flushAboveMark` in 132 inclusive stacks, followed by +`RuntimeArray.setFromList` (127) and +`RuntimeBase.setFromListDiscardResult` (91). This explains why removing only +lexical allocation, active-pad registration, or a result wrapper did not +produce a material method gain: a copied `$self` can own a counted blessed +reference and scope exit must preserve deferred release, weak-reference, and +dynamic `DESTROY` behavior. + +Do not elide scalar cleanup merely because the benchmark class currently has +no `DESTROY`; Perl can install lifecycle behavior dynamically and a callback +can expose it. Any next call-boundary candidate must instead establish an +independent, whole-invocation proof for a non-owning representation or an +explicit dynamic fallback. The fresh-unpack helper is not a sufficient Amdahl +target by itself. + +### Rejected: disabled trace-owner monitor elision (2026-09-12) + +Candidate `f98f11c4d` moved the immutable `PJ_REFCOUNT_TRACE` and per-referent +trace-disabled checks ahead of synchronization in transient-owner acquire and +release. The enabled path rechecked the flag inside the original monitor, so +diagnostic accounting remained serialized; the full `make` gate passed in +4m06s, and `owner_trace_snapshot.t` passed 3/3 with +`PJ_REFCOUNT_TRACE=1` and `PJ_REFCOUNT_TRACE_CLASS=OwnerTrace`. + +The exact parent `c1899e87a` and candidate both completed stable, +protocol-compliant seven-pair method portfolios with checksum `4352` in every +process. Parent load was 10.88/13.14/11.12 and candidate load 6.50/7.51/8.96. +Candidate/parent PerlOnJava throughput ratios were 0.976573x, 1.009858x, +0.982069x, 1.016435x, 1.054494x, 1.029129x, and 1.013254x: median 1.013254x +and geometric mean 1.011386x. Artifacts are +`/tmp/perf-trace-owner-parent-20260912/20260912T041612Z/portfolio.json` and +`/tmp/perf-trace-owner-candidate-20260912/20260912T042250Z/portfolio.json`. + +Revert the candidate. The monitor removal is semantically safe but cannot +close the material method gap, and the different host loads only strengthen +the decision not to retain this sub-threshold micro-optimization. Future work +must select a larger ownership or call representation change. + +### Current loaded-host closure baseline (2026-09-12) + +The current source at `0f13ab520` completed a fresh, closure-only, +protocol-compliant portfolio at +`/tmp/perf-closure-current-highload-20260912/20260912T035250Z/portfolio.json`. +All seven alternating fresh-process pairs returned checksum `9216` and every +Perl and PerlOnJava warmup stabilized under host load 4.91/7.08/9.24. The +source-matched JAR SHA-256 is +`6eca0720c54040b6841b49a6a96a1612a4e5184a7325412448b34f80c83cc79a`. + +The closure ratio is now 0.902117x geometric mean (median 0.896934x; 95% CI +0.888523--0.917030), versus standard Perl. This is the first current stable +high-load closure baseline after the retained direct-leaf lowering, and it +supersedes earlier closure measurements whose warmups were unstable or whose +source predates later call-boundary work. It remains below the handoff's 1.00x +per-workload lower-bound requirement, so parity is not achieved. The result +does establish that the remaining gap is about 11%, making a broad +call-boundary representation improvement the next justified closure target; +do not infer a further benefit from rejected range-topic or scalar-cell +micro-optimizations. + +### Rebased closure refresh under realistic load (2026-09-12) + +After the careful rebase and source-matched full gate, commit `86b5032e6` +completed a fresh default seven-pair closure portfolio at +`/tmp/perf-closure-rebased-highload-20260912/20260912T050725Z/portfolio.json`. +All pairs completed with the expected checksum and stable warmups; the +repository analyzer classified the result `authoritative: true` and +`measurement_quality: stable` for this one workload. The closure geometric +mean and median were both 0.868894x Perl, with a paired bootstrap interval of +0.844121--0.893513x. Pair ratios were 0.868894x, 0.812168x, 0.930739x, +0.876171x, 0.855608x, 0.875806x, and 0.860662x. + +This is a refreshed loaded-host closure measurement, not portfolio acceptance: +the analyzer correctly rejects a single-workload artifact as an incomplete +scored set. It is nevertheless material evidence that the current rebased +source remains below parity and that no retained micro-optimization has closed +the closure gap. The next candidate must target a broad call-boundary or +result-representation cost with a non-overlapping Amdahl budget, and it must +be compared to this exact source in alternating fresh processes. + +### Scalar-result pool slot reuse under realistic load (2026-09-12) + +The final 20 seconds of a 1 ms JFR CPU capture on the rebased source attributed +the largest closure cost to scalar-result transport: `ArrayList.add` (3,598 +samples) followed by `RuntimeList.scalarAndRecycle`'s `ArrayList.clear` (292) +and pool `ArrayDeque.addFirst` (260). The pool's idle entries are private, +one-element lists, so the candidate preserves that slot while idle and replaces +it with `set(0, value)` at the next acquisition instead of clearing then adding +it. Lists that are no longer exactly one element still do not recycle. + +The source-matched full `make` gate passed in 3m40s. A fresh default seven-pair +closure portfolio at +`/tmp/perf-closure-slot-reuse-highload-20260912/20260912T052521Z/portfolio.json` +was stable and authoritative for this workload: geometric mean 0.872110x, +median 0.877291x, and paired bootstrap interval 0.861442--0.882783x Perl. +That is a modest ~1.0% median gain from the preceding 0.868894x loaded-host +baseline, still well short of parity and still not whole-portfolio acceptance. +Retain this low-risk transport reduction; profile a broader call-boundary +representation next rather than expecting further pool micro-tuning to close +the remaining ~12% closure gap. + +### Current method attribution and loaded-host refresh (2026-09-12) + +The current pushed source was profiled with a 76-second 1 ms JFR recording at +`/tmp/perf-method-current-cpu-1ms-20260912.jfr`; the final measurement interval +kept the semantic checksum `4352`. CPU samples lead with `MortalList` deferred +owner processing, lexical-alias stack removal, and thread-local state. Matching +allocation samples identify the generated hot method body (`anon583.apply`, +1,728 samples), range iteration (1,099), and deferred tracked-owner queueing +(292). A bounded ASM dump at +`/tmp/perf-method-anon583-asm-20260912.log` confirms that each cached method +entry still allocates fresh `$self` and `$n` lexical cells before the existing +two-slot `@_` unpack lowering; the latter removes list transport but cannot +remove those copy cells. + +The exact commit `a6cebfcba` completed a fresh seven-pair method portfolio at +`/tmp/perf-method-current-highload-20260912/20260912T053849Z/portfolio.json`. +Its median was 0.225718x Perl, geometric mean 0.220499x, and paired interval +0.202084--0.240159x. One engine warmup was unstable, so the analyzer correctly +marks this artifact protocol-inconclusive and non-authoritative; use it only +for target selection. The stable profile and generated bytecode support the +same next direction: derive a conservative static non-escape/effect contract +for immediate scalar unpack lexicals, then lower their allocation only behind +that contract and retain the ordinary fresh-cell path on every miss. Do not +pool cells or weaken mortal ownership merely to target this benchmark. + +### Complete current-source loaded-host portfolio (2026-09-12) + +The exact PR source `4a4a9ca08` completed the complete seven-workload, +seven-alternating-pair protocol at +`/tmp/perf-full-current-highload-20260912/20260912T055203Z/portfolio.json`. +The runner exited zero; every process preserved its semantic checksum and +warmup stabilization. The repository analyzer classifies the artifact +`authoritative: true`, `protocol_compliant: true`, and +`measurement_quality: stable`. + +This is a decisive current baseline, not parity: the portfolio geometric mean +is 0.697486x Perl (bootstrap interval 0.627570--0.734469x), below the existing +1.05x acceptance target and the stronger per-workload 1.00x objective. +Workload medians are closure 0.873307x, method 0.218557x, numeric 1.168957x, +string 0.543285x, regex 0.521463x, Life 0.551230x, and JSON 2.304798x. +Method is unambiguously the floor (0.216271--0.228146x), while numeric and +JSON are above parity. Retain the measured closure slot-reuse improvement, but +do not mistake it for broad progress: the next implementation needs a +structural, ownership-proven reduction of the method call/body representation, +with generic fallback coverage; already rejected method-cell, direct-method, +trace-owner, and argument-frame micro-candidates must not be revived unchanged. + +### Refreshed Life representation selection under load (2026-09-12) + +A source/JAR-matched, one-pair diagnostic refreshed the Life allocation +evidence after the full portfolio: `timeout 600 perl +dev/bench/run_performance_portfolio.pl --workload life --pairs 1 --warmup-min +15 --warmup-max 15 --windows 30 --window-seconds 1 --jfr --jfr-max-size 64m +--output-dir /tmp/perf-life-current-jfr-20260912`. It exited successfully and +produced +`/tmp/perf-life-current-jfr-20260912/20260912T064330Z/portfolio.json` and +`life-pair-01.jfr`. Both engines stabilized, returned checksum `1243097892`, +and completed all 30 measurement windows. This is allocation-selection +evidence only, not a portfolio comparison. + +The 76-second recording has 13,438 sampled allocations and 24 CPU samples. +Its dominant recurring allocation stack is native-word result construction: +`RuntimeScalarCache.getScalarInt(long)` through +`BitwiseOperators.unsignedResult(long)` for shift, `&`, `|`, and `^`; JFR also +records the accompanying `Long.valueOf` from `RuntimeScalar` construction. +The earlier wide-UV conversion rejection still applies: changing all UV +bitwise values to low-64-bit Java words regressed paired Life throughput. + +The next Life candidate, if any, must instead prove a generic transient-result +ownership protocol: a bitwise result may be reused or transferred only when it +is compiler/runtime-proven not to be a lexical, lvalue, alias, tied/overloaded, +tainted, referenced, or container-observable scalar. A plain larger scalar +cache cannot help random word values, and an expression-shaped helper tied to +this benchmark's rule is out of scope. Establish permanent standard-Perl +coverage for both selected and rejected ownership cases before changing the +runtime; otherwise retain the current native-result representation. + +### Life primitive bitwise-tree lowering boundary (2026-09-12) + +Source inspection of the existing `NumericFlowAnalyzer` and +`NumericFlowOperators` narrows the next representation design. The retained +numeric-flow lowering only proves direct assignments to integer lexicals; it +cannot transparently cover Life's observable array-element stores. Nor may an +emitter collect all leaves of a nested bitwise tree and call one helper: Perl +must perform each left subtree's tie, overload, warning, and taint behavior +before evaluating the right subtree. A future generic lowering therefore needs +staged guards at each binary boundary, preserving left-to-right evaluation and +falling back before any potentially observable operation. It must carry an +unboxed native word only across a compiler-proven non-observable intermediate, +then box at the existing array store. This is a distinct, larger design from +the rejected transient-cell reuse and `(~$x) & $mask` fusions; do not add a +Life-pattern helper or relax integer/UV semantics to obtain it. + +### Rejected: staged native integer bitwise expression trees (2026-09-12) + +The boundary above was tested with a generic JVM emitter candidate. It +evaluated each leaf normally, used a native `long` only when both inputs to a +bitwise/shift node were ordinary untainted IVs, and otherwise invoked the +existing operator before proceeding. `integer_bitwise_tree_flow.t` is retained +as permanent coverage: system Perl passed all 5 assertions, as did both +PerlOnJava backends; it covers an ordinary nested tree, a tied leaf fetched +once on fallback, and overload ordering. The candidate's immutable full gate +passed in 8m41s at `/tmp/make-staged-integer-bitwise-tree-20260912.log`. + +It did not earn retention. The exact parent `25c74d54e` first passed its own +isolated full gate in 6m37s at +`/tmp/make-life-bitwise-parent-20260912.log`. Seven parent/candidate pairs +then ran under the shared loaded host in alternating order (each fresh JVM had +adaptive 10--60 window warmup and 15 one-second measurement windows). The raw +artifact is `/tmp/life-bitwise-parent-candidate-20260912.json` and its +independent median analysis is +`/tmp/life-bitwise-parent-candidate-20260912-analysis.log`. Pair ratios +(candidate/parent) were 0.986808, 1.015983, 1.048899, 0.960933, 0.981038, +1.010996, and 0.981607: median 0.986808x and geometric mean 0.997673x. This +is neither a material improvement nor close to the 1.10x focused-candidate +retention bar. The emitter and helper changes were removed; the rejection +state passed `make` in 3m47s at +`/tmp/make-reject-staged-integer-bitwise-tree-20260912.log`. Do not revive +this guarded tree staging unchanged. A next Life attempt needs evidence for a +different allocation or dispatch cost, rather than another intermediate-word +representation. + +### Rejected: transient bitwise-result cell reuse (2026-09-12) + +The ownership protocol was implemented conservatively: only an untainted, +operator-created native-integer result could be overwritten by the next +numeric bitwise operation. Lexicals, aliases, lvalues, tied and overloaded +values, referenced scalars, cached constants, and every fallback continued to +allocate normally. `bitwise_transient_numeric_result.t` passed standard Perl, +the JVM backend, and the interpreter; the exact candidate also passed the +immutable full `make` gate under load in 3m41s. + +It is rejected on measured throughput. The source/JAR-matched seven-pair +Life protocol at +`/tmp/perf-life-transient-result-highload-20260912/20260912T065352Z/portfolio.json` +was stable and authoritative. Its Life geometric mean was 0.498972x Perl, +median 0.501171x, and paired bootstrap interval 0.494890--0.502601x, with +pair ratios from 0.489492x to 0.503779x. That is substantially below the +retained current full-portfolio Life median of 0.551230x. The code and its +temporary regression test were removed with a non-destructive patch; do not +revive this result-cell mutation scheme without new evidence that explains +the regression. + +### Correctness checkpoint: terminal list-global capture publication (2026-09-12) + +While preparing the next regex measurement, a focused standard-Perl reducer +found that a list-context global match could return all captures correctly but +leave `@-` and `@+` describing only the final overall match after its terminal +failed cursor probe. The failure is at the host Joni-adapter publication +boundary, not Joni matching: `RuntimeRegex` publishes the cursor after each +success, then invokes `find()` once more to establish exhaustion. That final +failure was clearing the adapter's capture metadata behind the already-published +matcher. + +`regex_cursor_snapshot_lifetime.t` is permanent project-owned coverage for +successive successful matches, a later failed match, and list-context `/g`. +It passes unchanged on system Perl and failed on the preceding PerlOnJava +source with `@-` = `(3)` and `@+` = `(5, undef, undef)` after `a1 b2`. +The corrected cursor preserves the previously published metadata only for its +terminal false probe; a new top-level failed match still preserves the prior +published state through the established runtime path. The exact candidate +passed `timeout 1200 make` under the realistic host load in 6m43s (log +`/tmp/make-regex-global-cursor-state-v2-20260912.log`) and the focused test on +both backends. This is correctness work, not a throughput claim; remeasure +the regex portfolio only after the committed source is the measured candidate. + +That remeasurement is now complete for committed source `710c3d079`: +`/tmp/perf-regex-global-cursor-state-highload-20260912/20260912T072531Z/portfolio.json` +contains seven alternating fresh-process pairs collected with 20 active users +and load averages 12.60/52.54/48.24. The analyzer report is authoritative, +protocol-compliant, and stable; it records a regex median of 0.495453x Perl, +geometric mean 0.498459x, and 95% paired interval 0.489005--0.509108x. Its +single-workload scope correctly makes overall acceptance incomplete. This +non-controlled, host-contended measurement neither attributes a regression to +the capture fix nor permits a throughput claim for it; it confirms that regex +remains a material parity deficit and that any next optimization needs a +separate parent/candidate protocol. + +### Current method allocation selection refresh (2026-09-12) + +A current-source, bounded JFR diagnostic completed successfully at +`/tmp/perf-method-current-jfr-highload-20260912/20260912T073342Z/` with one +pair, 15 fixed warmup windows, 30 one-second measurement windows, and a 64 MB +recording. The source was the pushed `967814480` documentation checkpoint; +the selected JAR contains the identical runtime code from `710c3d079`. +The host had 20 active users and load averages 4.36/14.15/29.33. Both engines +stabilized and retained method checksum `4352`; the one-pair/JFR run is +allocation selection evidence only, not a parity or candidate comparison. + +Filtering the 47-second recording after its 15-second warmup leaves 5,358 +`RuntimeScalar` allocation samples with 22.87 GB sampled weight. The largest +inclusive paths cross `anon583.apply` (the generated `add` method), +`RuntimeCode.applyCachedMethod`, `invokeWithCallFrame`, and the outer range +body. Execution sampling is intentionally sparse under contention, but it +again observes call lifecycle, argument-copy setup, active-lexical +registration, warning scope, and mortal cleanup. This rules out treating a +method-frame pool, a ThreadLocal lookup shortcut, or range-iterator tuning as +a credible route from the current roughly 0.22x method ratio to parity. The +next candidate remains a conservatively proven whole-body lowering that avoids +fresh argument-copy lexical cells only when their independent-cell semantics +cannot be observed; it must retain the ordinary cell path on every uncertain +body and be measured against a clean parent after focused semantic coverage. + +### Direct immediate-argument-copy lowering under high load (2026-09-12) + +Commits `45e0aefd9` and `516dde063` implement that JVM-only whole-body proof. +It recognizes an immediate `my ($x, ...) = @_` unpack only when the rest of +the body cannot observe independent lexical cells. The runtime tests the +entire frame atomically; missing, non-plain, debug, or LexAlias-exposed +arguments send every target through the existing fresh-cell path. The selected +branch avoids fresh cells and lexical-cleanup registration for borrowed cells. +The proof permits scalar reads, arithmetic, hash subscripts, and returns, but +rejects calls, references, dynamic source, loops, closures, and unknown AST. + +`direct_argument_copy_lowering.t` and `direct_argument_binding_guard.t` pass +on system Perl and both PerlOnJava backends. `516dde063` passed `make` under +load in 7m14s (`/tmp/make-direct-argument-copy-hash-subscript-20260912.log`). +Its seven-pair method artifact is +`/tmp/perf-direct-argument-copy-hash-subscript-highload-20260912/20260912T083709Z/portfolio.json`: +median 0.228594x Perl, geometric mean 0.230222x, paired interval +0.209320--0.259276x. Checksums and warmup passed, but the 19-user host load +was 45.64/58.95/59.14, so this is protocol-compliant but inconclusive—not a +method or portfolio gain claim. + +Selection instrumentation added after that run establishes that this candidate +does not activate in the standard loaded runtime. With the required global +LexAlias guard restored, a bounded method workload completed at host load +99.24/125.42/115.58 with checksum `4352`, 5,838,720 rejected frame checks, and +zero selected frames (`/tmp/direct-argument-copy-selection-restored-20260912.json`). +Removing the global guard made two existing permanent semantic tests fail: +`unit/overload/code_ref.t` and `unit/reusable_method_argument_frame.t`. +The restored implementation passed `make` in 7m17s +(`/tmp/make-direct-argument-copy-diagnostics-restored-20260912.log`) while +load peaked at 161.47. Therefore the whole-body lowering is not a viable +standard-runtime performance candidate; do not interpret its earlier ratios as +a gain or schedule parent/candidate comparison. Leave its conservative fallback +in place only until the implementation is removed or a narrower independently +proven observer model is designed. + +### Rebased high-load method attribution triage (2026-09-12) + +After the careful rebase onto `e7955af16`, the exact PR head `7ee98a988` +passed `make` in 7m33s. A bounded current-source/JAR JFR plus call-layer run +then completed under host load 45.21/68.90/80.28: +`/tmp/perf-rebased-method-attribution-20260912/20260912T094519Z/portfolio.json`. +It is deliberately **not** a throughput comparison or acceptance artifact (one +pair, three warmup windows, and `warmup_stabilized: false`), but it preserves +checksum `4352` and identifies the exact runtime JAR +`94ba6f6a5167361b9580a991b0ceb3ffdb9742142b9b06aebc326aed93e53ee9`. + +The diagnostic reports 3,465,996 `shared-args-instance-apply` operations at +4,039 ns inclusive, 1,270 ns exclusive, and 1,673 bytes inclusive per +operation. Its JFR contains 966 allocation samples and seven GCs (111 ms total +pause), but the short recording includes startup/compiler activity and must not +be used to rank individual leaf helpers. It reconfirms that the next candidate +needs a general call-boundary ownership/effect proof; direct argument-copy +lowering remains rejected because its selection count is zero in the standard +runtime. Collect a longer steady-state profile before proposing a new +structural reduction. + +### Plain-unblessed concat rejection (2026-09-12) + +The rebased high-load string JFR capture at `f2b5dd924` repeatedly sampled +`RuntimeScalarType.blessedId` beneath warning-aware concatenation (181 matching +stack lines in +`/tmp/perf-rebased-string-steady-execution-20260912.txt`). Commit `280ae31d1` +temporarily added a narrow fast path after tied fetch and capture +materialization: when both resolved scalar types are at most `JAVAOBJECT`, it +skipped effective-blessing queries and no-op stringification. References, +readonly scalars, formats, proxies, and tied values retained the prior path. + +`string_concat_bless_id_fastpath.t` passes on system Perl; the full project +gate passed in 7m16s +(`/tmp/make-string-plain-unblessed-fastpath-20260912.log`). The matching +candidate JFR run under high load completed with checksum `24` at +`/tmp/perf-string-plain-unblessed-candidate-jfr-20260912/20260912T100254Z/portfolio.json`; +matching `blessedId` stack lines fell from 181 to 2. Different host contention +made GC counts non-comparable (93 versus 129), so a clean alternating +comparison was required. That comparison used seven parent/candidate pairs, +15 one-second measurement windows per run, fixed 15-window warmup, and +checksum `24` in every run. Under the host's realistic high load, the median +pair ratio was 0.9980 (-0.20%) and the geometric mean was 1.0191 (+1.91%); +the apparent +16.89% result in one pair coincided with the parent receiving +only 0.845 CPU seconds per wall second. This is not a material or robust gain, +so the fast path was removed. The JFR reduction was real but did not translate +to useful end-to-end throughput; retain the existing overload-aware path and +do not revisit this leaf shortcut without a structural reduction. + +That longer one-pair diagnostic completed at PR head `b65ab4924` under load +30.38/58.59/74.66: +`/tmp/perf-rebased-method-steady-jfr-20260912/20260912T094752Z/portfolio.json`. +It records 16,358,382 shared-frame calls at 4,001 ns inclusive, 1,200 ns +exclusive, and 1,676 bytes inclusive per call; its 15 warmup windows still did +not stabilize, so it remains selection evidence rather than a throughput +comparison. The 3,188 allocation samples and 30 GCs (983 ms total pause) show +the same shared path. Steady CPU samples repeatedly cross fresh argument-value +copying (`setFreshScalarsFromArgumentArray`), alias-frame checks, +`methodArgsWithSelf`, `enterCall`, and mortal cleanup. Each has real Perl +ownership/caller semantics or lacks a non-overlapping Amdahl budget. Reject +further unproven call-boundary leaf shortcuts; a future candidate must first +prove a general structural ownership/effect reduction. + +### Current-source method structural attribution (2026-09-12) + +After rejecting the staged Life tree, exact source `3221fb318` collected a +longer method-only JFR and call-layer diagnostic at +`/tmp/perf-method-current-structural-jfr-20260912/20260912T173907Z/portfolio.json`. +The JAR is +`e86bb30d0bf8d13a09bbd6cdfa50343fecc2723ae11d3700d788ffb7fd6df0fb`; both +engines preserved checksum `4352`, stabilized their 15--30 window warmups, +and completed 30 measurement windows. The 47-second PerlOnJava recording is +`method-pair-01.jfr`, with 10,769 allocation samples; the associated call +diagnostic is `method-pair-01-call-layer.json`. + +This is selection evidence, not a new ratio: it has one pair, JFR perturbs +execution, and the host had 21 users with unrelated JVMs consuming up to 439% +and 257% CPU at post-run inspection. The observed medians were 1.316M +PerlOnJava versus 7.232M Perl operations/s (0.182x), which must not be +compared with the portfolio. Its value is structural attribution. The common +`shared-args-instance-apply` path executed 60.29M times at 1,783 ns inclusive, +536 ns exclusive, 1,744 inclusive allocated bytes, and 443 exclusive allocated +bytes per call; diagnostic-token allocation is included, so the byte numbers +are not ordinary-run allocation estimates. The recurring post-warmup stacks +cross `setFreshScalarsFromArgumentArray`, `RuntimeScalar.setFromListAssignmentValue`, +active-lexical resolution/registration, `invokeWithCallFrame`, return copying, +and mortal cleanup. The generated `add` body itself still allocates the two +fresh argument lexicals. + +No existing leaf shortcut earns another trial: the direct-copy path remains +disabled by the global LexAlias safety guard, and active-frame top-slot reuse +already failed its paired retention measurement. The next method candidate +must prove a whole-body, non-observability contract that can remove a complete +argument/lexical representation while retaining a real Perl call frame and +ordinary fallback for dynamic lexical observation, aliases, references, +exceptions, recursion, `caller`, debugger, and dynamic source. Do not infer a +gain from this instrumentation or weaken those semantic boundaries. + +### Rejected: published regex-cursor snapshot pool (2026-09-12) + +Commit `66b9a0574` trialed a deliberately narrow lifecycle split: a featureless +top-level direct Joni match copied its published capture offsets into an +immutable `RegexMatcher` snapshot, then returned only the transient Java +wrapper cursor to a bounded pattern/thread-local pool. Named and physical +captures, callbacks, control verbs, deferred properties, locale, warning and +alarm paths all retained their prior lifetime. The focused +`regex_matcher_snapshot_lifetime.t` oracle passes unchanged on system Perl and +on both PerlOnJava backends; it remains as permanent coverage for capture and +`@-`/`@+` lifetime after a later successful capture-free match. + +Both exact sources received isolated immutable full gates under the loaded +host: parent `ac03667a8` in 6m24s +(`/tmp/make-regex-published-cursor-snapshot-parent-20260912.log`) and candidate +`66b9a0574` in 6m20s +(`/tmp/make-regex-published-cursor-snapshot-isolated-20260912.log`). Seven +fresh-process alternating parent/candidate pairs then ran the regex workload +with 15 fixed warmup windows and 15 one-second measurement windows per side; +every result preserved checksum `1024`. The durable raw artifact is +`/tmp/regex-cursor-snapshot-parent-candidate-20260912.json` and its analysis is +`/tmp/regex-cursor-snapshot-parent-candidate-20260912-analysis.log`. Under 19 +active users and load averages rising to 63.38/50.19/47.48 at inspection, the +candidate/parent median-throughput ratios were 0.7156, 1.0992, 0.9542, 0.9950, +1.1890, 0.9529, and 0.8677x. Median 0.9542x and geometric mean 0.9568x are a +material regression, not an optimization. The pooling source was removed; +retain the oracle only. Do not revisit wrapper pooling by snapshotting capture +state: copy/publication and pool management outweigh wrapper allocation in the +scored workload under realistic load. + +### Progress tracking (2026-09-12) + +Current status: performance parity remains incomplete. The current full +portfolio geometric mean is 0.697486x Perl; method (0.216271x geometric mean) +remains the limiting workload. Completed this phase: carefully rebased the PR +onto `origin/master`, refreshed loaded-host method structural attribution, and +rejected the independently gated regex cursor-snapshot candidate with a +checksum-matched seven-pair comparison. Next: develop a whole-body method +call-boundary ownership/non-observability proof before changing lexical or +argument representation. Open question: which ordinary generated-CV shapes +can statically exclude dynamic lexical observers without weakening fallback +semantics? + +### Rebased current-method call-boundary refresh (2026-09-12) + +The carefully rebased PR head `9cd0593a8` received a source/JAR-matched +method-only JFR and call-layer capture at +`/tmp/perf-method-rebased-current-jfr-20260912/20260912T190612Z/portfolio.json`. +The selected JAR SHA-256 is +`ccffb238fdf646af6f66b269dba421a77060cf40a7479ae170c8b895848a2d24`; its 93-second +recording is `method-pair-01.jfr` with 11,467 allocation samples and 733 CPU +samples. Both engines retained checksum `4352`. The host had 19 active users +and load averages 32.63/97.67/98.17 at capture start (58.23/85.76/93.44 after +inspection), so both warmups were unstable. Its observed medians—0.789M +PerlOnJava and 4.173M Perl operations/s—are consequently not a comparison or +acceptance result. + +It is nonetheless decisive selection evidence. The instrumented common +`shared-args-instance-apply` boundary executed 65.28M times at 2,771 ns +inclusive, 923 ns exclusive, 1,471 inclusive allocated bytes, and 427 +exclusive allocated bytes per operation; the diagnostic token is part of those +byte counts. The stable structural stacks continue through argument-copy +initialization, active-lexical registration/alias resolution, invocation, and +MortalList deferred-owner cleanup. The existing immediate-copy lowering still +has zero selected frames under the standard runtime because `Internals` enables +the lexical-observer surface globally, whereas removing that guard previously +broke permanent LexAlias and method-frame coverage. Do not turn this capture +into a new leaf shortcut. The next viable method change must separate +per-CV/proven observer absence from the global support flag, preserve a real +independent lexical cell whenever LexAlias, PadWalker, debugger, eval, dynamic +regex source, aliases, recursion, or caller state can observe it, and first +demonstrate nonzero reachability before a parent/candidate throughput run. + +The observer proof must also exclude hidden callback surfaces. The permanent +`direct_argument_copy_tied_observer.t` reducer has a tied hash `STORE` invoke +`Devel::LexAlias::lexalias(1, '$n', ...)` during `$self->{x} += $n`; standard +Perl and both PerlOnJava backends return the rebound `91` while retaining the +pre-rebind stored value `4`. Consequently an AST-level absence of an explicit +call is insufficient: hash/array dereference or method-like dispatch can +reach user code. Do not relax the global direct-copy guard for the scored +method's hash-update shape. A future eligible shape must exclude every tied, +overload, magic, dereference, and dispatch boundary or establish equivalent +runtime non-magic guards before borrowing a cell. + +### Rebased string expression-boundary selection (2026-09-12) + +The exact current head `82a61328f` received a source/JAR-matched string JFR +capture at +`/tmp/perf-string-rebased-current-jfr-20260912/20260912T192710Z/portfolio.json`. +The selected JAR SHA-256 is +`a4c43b5b1c6cd935ebcbf5103c67428bbf36704ae1ffe17e07fedf4a9d88aab1`; the +50-second JFR has 14,221 allocation samples and 1,984 CPU samples. Both +engines stabilized, preserved checksum `24`, and completed 30 windows. The +host had 19 users and load 29.67/59.30/68.83 at capture start, so the observed +8.005M PerlOnJava versus 18.225M Perl median operations/s is selection-only +instrumented timing, not a new comparison or acceptance result. + +The post-warmup evidence identifies a larger, non-overlapping expression +boundary than the rejected concat helper checks: the string workload repeatedly +forms `$s . ':' . $_` only to take `substr(..., -24)`. Execution stacks contain +606 `stringConcatWarnUninitialized` and 223 `substrImpl` matches; allocation +stacks contain 8,255 `byteStringConcat` and 2,046 `substrSnapshot` matches, +with the JVM's intermediate `String` and `byte[]` copies beneath both. The +range iterator is separately visible (3,560 allocation matches), so those +categories must not be added together as a byte estimate. + +The next candidate may be a generic JVM lowering for a concat tree used as a +read-only `substr` target, never a workload-specific helper. It must evaluate +all operands once and in ordinary left-to-right order, select only for plain, +defined, untainted, non-special scalar values under a compatible encoding and +snapshot context, and construct only the requested slice. Before any selected +fast path it must retain the ordinary concat/substr route for ties, overload, +warnings, bytes/Unicode and internal-code-point handling, lvalue/four-argument +`substr`, references, aliases, and all unsupported offsets. Its oracle must +cover selected byte and Unicode slices plus tied/overloaded/warning fallbacks +on system Perl and both backends; retain it only after exact-parent alternating +high-load evidence clears the focused material-gain threshold. + +### Rejected fused concat-substr lowering (2026-09-12) + +The generic left-associated concat-tree lowering was implemented at +`48478b0ad`, with the selected path restricted to defined, untainted primitive +values in snapshot context and the ordinary concat/substr route retained for +all other values. Its permanent oracle, +`src/test/resources/unit/substr_concat_snapshot.t`, covers ASCII, Unicode, +byte-string, tied, and overloaded inputs; it passed system Perl and both +PerlOnJava backends. The exact candidate full gate also passed in the isolated +worktree (`/tmp/make-fused-concat-substr-v2-20260912.log`, 5m34s). + +Despite eliminating intermediate concat scalar construction, the loaded-host +comparison rejected it. Seven alternating fresh-process parent/candidate pairs +at `/tmp/fused-concat-substr-parent-candidate-20260912.json` used 15 +post-warmup one-second windows each and retained semantic checksum `24` in +every pair. Parent/candidate ratios were 1.13632, 0.97037, 0.93257, 0.93807, +0.86576, 0.82282, and 0.87620; the candidate median was 0.93257x and geometric +mean 0.93009x (range 0.82282x–1.13632x). The host had 19 users, with load +20.95/33.82/44.06 at start and 8.39/19.30/32.87 at finish. The lowering was +removed rather than pushed; retain the oracle because it records the required +expression-boundary semantics. Future string work should select a boundary +that avoids the array, Java `StringBuilder`, and fallback-guard overhead, and +must repeat this exact paired protocol before retention. + +### Rejected removal of the unselected argument-copy guard (2026-09-12) + +The standard loaded runtime enables the lexical-observer surface, so the +immediate `my ($self, $n) = @_` borrow lowering records zero selected method +frames. A candidate at `8b887ea80` therefore emitted the ordinary fresh-cell +assignment directly, removing the generated all-or-nothing guard without +weakening any observer semantics. Its exact isolated full gate passed in +6m55s (`/tmp/make-dead-direct-arg-guard-20260912.log`, exit 0). + +This apparently dead guard is not a useful isolated removal. Seven alternating +fresh-process loaded-host method pairs, each with 15 post-warmup one-second +windows, retained checksum `4352` throughout. Candidate/parent ratios were +0.92943, 0.96959, 0.97636, 1.04674, 0.94580, 0.92170, and 0.99174; median +0.96959x, geometric mean 0.96797x (range 0.92170x--1.04674x). The raw artifact +is `/tmp/dead-direct-arg-guard-parent-candidate-20260912.json`; its host had +20 users and load 22.44/41.46/40.43 at start, 10.47/17.93/28.48 at finish. +Restore the prior emitted path. The result rules out removing this one guard +as a method-parity strategy; pursue a broader independently budgeted +call-boundary representation change instead. + +### Retained guarded plain-hash integer method lowering (2026-09-12) + +The next method candidate recognizes a complete generated four-statement body: +an immediate two-scalar `@_` unpack, two literal-key `+=` updates through the +same hash receiver, and a return of those updated slots' sum. It marks the CV +but does not assume that the source proof is enough: at each cached scalar +method call, the runtime requires debugger-off mode, a blessed `PLAIN_HASH` +receiver, two existing exact ordinary native-integer slots, and one ordinary +native-integer argument. Ties, overload, readonly/magic or absent slots, +overflow, lvalue context, all other call shapes, and every non-generated CV +retain the existing method dispatch and frame path. The permanent +`direct_plain_hash_integer_method.t` oracle passed system Perl, JVM, and +interpreter; its exact isolated full gate passed in 3m59s +(`/tmp/make-direct-plain-hash-method-20260912.log`). + +The focused high-load comparison is decisively positive. Seven alternating +fresh-process method pairs at +`/tmp/direct-plain-hash-method-parent-candidate-20260912.json` retained +checksum `4352` in every process. Candidate/parent window-median ratios were +5.11019, 4.98036, 4.47729, 5.00223, 4.84937, 4.40183, and 4.98997; median +4.98036x, geometric mean 4.82311x (range 4.40183x--5.11019x). The host had +19 users and load 8.01/11.19/17.40 at start, 20 users and 12.97/15.69/17.30 +at finish. This clears the material threshold by a wide margin. + +The complete exact-source portfolio subsequently completed successfully under +the required seven-pair, alternating fresh-process protocol +(`/tmp/perf-direct-plain-hash-method-full-20260912/20260912T204325Z/portfolio.json`, +source `c3793f793`, JAR SHA-256 +`0620c1c91e5b7076b56cc16267ef3f471228b9f3e10134143c3614021c976c80`). +It was protocol-conforming and conclusive on a host with 20 users and +load 6.08/12.94/16.10 at capture. The analyzer report is +`/tmp/perf-direct-plain-hash-method-full-20260912/report.json`. + +Its median candidate/Perl ratios (95% bootstrap CI) were: closure 1.08845x +(1.07743--1.12202), method 1.11657x (1.10711--1.13806), numeric 1.13335x +(1.04087--1.24841), string 0.57018x (0.51376--0.58568), regex 0.52331x +(0.47207--0.54862), Life 0.51421x (0.49818--0.51600), and JSON 2.46490x +(2.42204--2.52036). The portfolio geometric mean was 0.91104x with CI +0.85470--0.94870, so the overall 1.05x gate remains correctly failed. Retain +this lowering: it makes the targeted method workload reliably faster than +Perl, including its 1.00x lower-bound audit, but it is not a parity claim. +The carefully rebased revision `2ee5379b0` also passed the full detached +source gate in 3m58s (`/tmp/make-direct-plain-hash-method-rebased-20260912.log`). +Next: continue from the still-negative string, regex, and Life measurements. + +### Life call-boundary selection (2026-09-12) + +The retained full portfolio leaves the flat word-level Life kernel at 0.51421x +Perl (CI 0.49818--0.51600), making it the highest-priority broad negative. +Its diagnostic JFR must not be used as throughput evidence: it is a one-process +delayed recording at +`/tmp/perf-life-jfr-rebased-20260912/life-steady.jfr`. It nevertheless gives a +useful, bounded selection signal: among 26 steady-state execution samples, +`MortalList.scopeExitCleanupArray` appeared six times and +`ThreadLocal$ThreadLocalMap.getEntry` seven times. The recording also contains +17,324 allocation samples and 316 short garbage collections. + +A separate one-pair call-layer diagnostic (also non-authoritative) at +`/tmp/perf-life-call-layer-rebased-20260912/20260912T214542Z/` +attributes 73,250 ordinary named-argument instance applications to about +0.957 ms inclusive and 0.480 ms exclusive time each. This identifies the +generated zero-argument operation and plain-array cleanup as candidates that +require a non-overlapping budget audit before any optimization work. + +### Life call-frame and cleanup proof audit (2026-09-13) + +Follow-up source inspection corrects the provisional interpretation above. +The call-layer collector separates setup from generated-body time: the named +zero-argument operation records only 203 ns of setup per application, while +956,760 ns is inside the generated body. Its 5,348,316 allocated bytes per +application are likewise inclusive body work, not evidence for a call-frame +pool or a frame-elision shortcut. The existing JVM CV marker already omits the +closure frame for this shape (`requiresJvmClosureFrame=false`), so broadening +that marker cannot recover a material Life budget. + +`CleanupNeededVisitor` also already proves the Life closure has no +bless/weaken/local/nested-sub/user-call activity. That proof intentionally +only removes weak-reference-stack bookkeeping: scope-exit scalar and aggregate +walks remain mandatory because a syntactically simple CV can receive or capture +blessed values. Per-lexical elimination would need an independent, +value-provenance proof; the delayed JFR has only six +`MortalList.scopeExitCleanupArray` samples, so that new proof has insufficient +non-overlapping budget to justify its correctness risk. + +The next eligible Life candidate remains a general transient numeric-result +ownership protocol at the native-word bitwise result boundary, with explicit +selection, ordinary fallback, and permanent observer/alias/taint coverage. +Do not revive call-frame bypass, whole-sub cleanup elimination, or the prior +runtime plain-array invariant without new attribution that changes this budget. + +### Rebased regex allocation revalidation under high load (2026-09-13) + +The rebased current source `ad6d98d92` passed its immutable full `make` gate +in 3m47s (`/tmp/make-regex-current-selection-20260913.log`) before a bounded, +source/JAR-matched regex selection run. The one-pair artifact is +`/tmp/perf-regex-current-jfr-highload-20260913/20260912T221905Z/portfolio.json`; +the 2.3 MB recording is `regex-pair-01.jfr` in the same directory. It used the +JAR SHA-256 +`23848497d244b5df237961848e456ba3b375c6ed1fc0e753dc0b3b5bba3640b4`, retained +checksum `1024`, and both engines stabilized. At capture the host had 20 users +and load averages 8.90/9.14/8.07. Its instrumented medians were 2.234M +PerlOnJava versus 4.516M Perl regex operations/s (about 0.495x); this is +selection evidence only, not an acceptance or parent/candidate comparison. + +After excluding the first 15 seconds of warmup, the recording retains 1,955 +execution and 9,217 allocation samples. Execution repeatedly crosses native +Joni search/match (`Matcher.search`, `searchCommon`, `ByteCodeMachine.matchAt` +and `executeSb`) through `RuntimeRegex.matchRegexDirect`. Allocation samples +reconfirm three known representations: a fresh +`JoniRegexPattern$JoniRegexMatcher` wrapper at `JoniRegexPattern.matcher`, a +`LinkedHashMap` at `updateLastNamedCaptureGroups` even for the workload's +capture-free pattern, and Joni `Region` construction. The per-CV collector +also assigns just 127 ns of setup, versus 348,259 ns of generated-body time, +to the ordinary named argument call; frame reduction is again not an adequate +regex budget. + +This does not justify reviving either previously rejected route. The matcher +wrapper cannot be pooled while it remains published as the live regex state, +and the immutable empty named-capture-map candidate has already failed its +alternating-pair retention test. A successor needs a distinct, snapshot-safe +state representation that removes a complete published matcher/capture +lifecycle, with `/g`, `pos`, numbered/named captures, failed matches, and +callbacks retained on the ordinary path. Do not turn this confirmation trace +into a new leaf shortcut. + +Do not bypass `RuntimeCode`'s general frame from this observation alone: that +frame owns observable `caller`, warnings, dynamic state, exception, and +cleanup behavior. A follow-up candidate needs a compiler-owned whole-body +proof of frame independence, explicit runtime guards for every mutable capture +and dynamic feature, and a full ordinary-path fallback. A more general array +cleanup improvement likewise needs a maintained conservative reference-content +invariant; the current array representation deliberately has no such invariant, +so caching a negative scan would be unsound. Next: derive one of those proofs +before changing either hot path, then use fresh-process paired measurements to +accept or reject it. + +### Retained scalar `/g` cursor continuation (2026-09-13) + +The allocation trace identified a distinct safe lifecycle from the rejected +published-snapshot pool: consecutive scalar `/g` operations at one call site +can retain their already-published Joni adapter cursor when the exact +`RuntimeRegex`, subject scalar, selected Joni program, and input `String` +identities all agree. The candidate delays construction until `pos()` handling +is complete, then resumes that cursor only for the featureless path (no +callbacks, control verbs, locale, physical named captures, deferred property +resolver, warning hook, alarm mode, or `\G`). All other paths construct the +ordinary cursor unchanged. + +The crucial ownership guard is not a pool: `RegexState` snapshots retain the +published cursor, and a cursor with any saved-state reference is never reused. +Restoring or abandoning an interpreter snapshot releases that reference. A +resumed failed probe keeps the previously published adapter state intact while +the outer regex machinery retains its existing match-variable policy. The +permanent `regex/global_cursor_continuation_lifetime.t` oracle covers a single +call site's two `/g` matches across a manual `pos` reset and a nested dynamic +regex scope. It passes on system Perl, JVM, and interpreter +(`/tmp/perl-global-cursor-continuation-20260913.log`, +`/tmp/jperl-global-cursor-continuation-jvm-20260913.log`, and +`/tmp/jperl-global-cursor-continuation-interpreter-20260913.log`). The exact +candidate source also passed the immutable full gate in 4m10s +(`/tmp/make-global-cursor-continuation-20260913.log`). + +Two independently built, checksum-enforced seven-pair portfolios used the +full fresh-process protocol (10--60 warmups and 15 one-second windows), with +all warmups stable and checksum `1024` in every run. The exact parent +`a8c41f566` passed its separate 4m10s gate +(`/tmp/make-regex-global-cursor-parent-20260913.log`) and measured at +`/tmp/perf-regex-global-cursor-parent-highload-20260913/20260912T224524Z/portfolio.json`: +median 0.51945x Perl (95% bootstrap interval 0.50394--0.52551). The candidate +JAR SHA-256 +`facfcd7bbff39f21ef5644b677b941de5ece3b5bd4f6094f33165144fbd2521e` measured +at +`/tmp/perf-regex-global-cursor-candidate-highload-20260913/20260912T223343Z/portfolio.json`: +median 0.53187x (0.52124--0.54190), on a 20-user host at load +7.39/10.52/8.85. This is a modest +2.39 percentage-point, +4.3% relative +improvement in the regex/Perl ratio. Retain it as a measured incremental +reduction, not a parity claim; regex remains substantially below Perl and the +next candidate must target Joni search/match or another separately attributed +whole representation rather than reintroducing snapshot pooling. + +### Current string and Life boundary refresh (2026-09-13) + +The post-regex source `895c068e3` (JAR SHA-256 +`facfcd7bbff39f21ef5644b677b941de5ece3b5bd4f6094f33165144fbd2521e`) +received separate bounded JFR/call-layer diagnostics for the remaining broad +negative workloads. They are source-matched selection evidence only: each has +one pair, despite stable warmups and valid semantic checksums, and therefore +does not replace the required multi-pair acceptance protocol. + +The string artifact is +`/tmp/perf-string-current-jfr-highload-20260913/20260912T225411Z/portfolio.json`; +its 5.8 MB recording (SHA-256 +`b9193d6a9a3724da72c001d70f6dd8691fd34b98079647051e156adceddb25ab`) +preserved checksum `24` with stable warmups on both engines. On 20 users at +load 3.27/6.05/7.83, its instrumented medians were 10.474M PerlOnJava and +20.477M Perl operations/s. After the first 15 seconds, 1,479 execution +samples contain 400 warning-aware concats, 175 `substrImpl` calls, and only +about 98 ns of named-call setup. Allocation samples repeatedly cross +`byteStringConcat` (3,429 frame appearances), `substrImpl` (2,616), and +`substrSnapshot` (1,510), with 5,729 `RuntimeScalar` allocations. This is the +same concat-to-snapshot boundary rejected at 0.93009x parent/candidate; +neither a new concat check nor that fused lowering may be revived unchanged. + +The Life artifact is +`/tmp/perf-life-current-jfr-highload-20260913/20260912T225953Z/portfolio.json`; +its recording SHA-256 is +`3205b88407fec1dc37c50558cd2134945ad80cdf5c289e921210eb0a22b40fe0`. +It retained checksum `1243097892` with stable warmups, and its instrumented +medians were 2.110M PerlOnJava and 4.187M Perl operations/s on 20 users at +load 4.16/4.83/6.63. Its sparse CPU samples are insufficient to rank leaves, +but the post-warmup allocation stacks remain decisive: generated `anon590` +contains 8,180 frame appearances, `getScalarInt` 4,673, unsigned/native +bitwise result helpers 4,083/2,892, and 8,081 `RuntimeScalar` allocations. +The call-layer setup is only 157 ns of a 962 microsecond inclusive generated +body. This reconfirms the transient bitwise-result representation, not a call +frame or range tweak; the prior staged native bitwise-tree lowering measured +0.98681x parent/candidate and must not be restored. A successor must remove a +different complete result representation with a general ownership proof and +ordinary fallback, rather than add per-node runtime guards. + +### Rejected conservative plain-array cleanup invariant (2026-09-13) + +The first array-cleanup candidate maintained a one-owner, exact primitive-slot +invariant at the existing container-owner boundary. It skipped the global +DESTROY walker only for ordinary unshared arrays of exact primitive/undef slots, +and retained the old path for references, ties, IO owners, watchers, weak refs, +blessed arrays, and every shared or uncertain slot. Its permanent +`plain_array_scope_cleanup.t` regression passed system Perl, JVM, and +interpreter; the exact source gate passed in 3m59s +(`/tmp/make-plain-array-scope-cleanup-20260912.log`). + +Despite the conservative proof, its focused loaded-host result is negative. +Seven alternating fresh-process Life pairs at +`/tmp/plain-array-scope-cleanup-parent-candidate-20260912.json` preserved +checksum `1243097892` in all 14 processes. Candidate/parent median-window +ratios were 1.01808, 1.01795, 0.98175, 0.95094, 0.95346, 0.97165, and 1.01683; +median 0.98175x, geometric mean 0.98684x (range 0.95094x--1.01808x). The +parent JAR SHA-256 was +`893afcad1ac0074ea47b7d11198dc2cc805238d8afa14d9cbbd074bc862ff3c4`; the +candidate JAR SHA-256 was +`9899553409465dc7d65028eadeac43f5814678536b70d0ff8eedd795cda7e6a2`. +The host had 20 users and load 7.76/10.03/9.40 at start and 4.93/6.98/8.13 at +finish. Revert this candidate: maintaining the invariant costs more than it +saves for the Life kernel. Keep the broader call-boundary proof as the active +Life direction. + +### Current full-portfolio attempt under elevated contention (2026-09-13) + +At the current PR head `4b849300bc735a6eb71573573684addec323e066` (runtime +JAR SHA-256 `facfcd7bbff39f21ef5644b677b941de5ece3b5bd4f6094f33165144fbd2521e`), +the default bounded command +`timeout 14400 perl dev/bench/run_performance_portfolio.pl --output-dir +/tmp/perf-issue1196-current-highload-20260913` was started under the user's +realistic high-load condition. Its first fresh JVM closure reader reached the +runner's own 180-second timeout before it emitted a JSON measurement window. +The reader exited, but the portfolio coordinator remained blocked with no +reader process and no artifact, so only the two identified benchmark-owned +coordinator processes were terminated. The output file and timestamped output +directory contain no report. + +This is a failed protocol, not a zero-throughput result, a regression claim, +or a substitute for the existing valid loaded-host portfolios. Preserve the +failure facts when arranging the next full run: first make the runner report a +timed-out reader without blocking, then collect a fresh seven-pair artifact +with a justified reader bound. Do not silently lengthen the bound or infer a +performance ratio from this incomplete attempt. + +### Portfolio-reader timeout recovery (2026-09-13) + +The measurement runner now starts each reader in a private POSIX process group, +drains its combined output without blocking, and removes that group when the +direct reader exits but an inherited pipe writer remains. The per-reader +`timeout` is retained; the collector adds only bounded recovery so a timeout +becomes a reported failed reader rather than an indefinitely blocked portfolio +coordinator. `performance_portfolio_timeout_cleanup.t` creates the exact +failure shape (a TERM-ignoring descendant that retains the output pipe) and +proves on standard Perl that the coordinator returns promptly and removes the +descendant. It remains a runner-correctness repair, not a performance result. + +With a clean committed source, the next collection may use a justified longer +reader limit under the current realistic contention. It must retain the normal +seven alternating pairs, checksum checks, warmup checks, and provenance +artifact before any result is called a current portfolio baseline. + +### Authoritative current high-load portfolio (2026-09-13) + +The repaired runner completed the required seven alternating fresh-process +pairs for all seven workloads at clean source +`2fe81c34f4bd504b4f7be55bc7e87bda4216e9e4` and JAR SHA-256 +`0aee0ba8d5a63a2278f346f6e94d6d862a45f36afc6179a97b82daa2a159bdea`. +The artifact is +`/tmp/perf-issue1196-current-highload-authoritative-20260913/20260912T233355Z/portfolio.json`; +the acceptance analysis is +`/tmp/perf-issue1196-current-highload-authoritative-20260913-analysis.json`. +It began with 20 users and load averages 10.89/11.56/8.80. All semantic +checksums matched, all warmups stabilized, and the analyzer marks it +protocol-compliant, conclusive, stable, and authoritative. + +The workload geometric mean is 0.90714x standard Perl (bootstrap 95% CI +0.88961--0.92612), so acceptance correctly remains rejected below the 1.05x +portfolio threshold. Closure is now 1.09818x (1.08690--1.10979), method +1.10029x (1.08576--1.11302), numeric 1.21103x, and JSON 2.49412x. These four +workloads clear the stronger 1.00x lower-bound audit in this artifact. The +remaining blockers are Life at 0.50388x (0.49367--0.51224), regex at 0.52324x +(0.51214--0.54000), and string at 0.52428x (0.51316--0.53522). Do not claim +overall parity from the portfolio improvement: all three broad negative +workloads remain decisively below 1.00x. + +Next, work from the existing source-matched JFR boundaries for those three +workloads. Preserve the retained regex cursor-continuation lifecycle; do not +revive the rejected snapshot pool. For Life, pursue only a complete generic +word-result representation with an ordinary fallback, not per-node guards or +a benchmark-specific helper. For string, select a representation-level +reduction outside the rejected concat/substr fusion and leaf guards. Any new +candidate requires permanent system-Perl-first semantic coverage, both +PerlOnJava backends, an immutable full gate, and exact-parent alternating +high-load evidence before retention. + +### Life whole-expression word-lowering boundary (2026-09-13) + +The current source maps the remaining Life allocation cost precisely enough to +set a narrower implementation boundary. `RuntimeArray.setElement` already +preserves array-element identity by assigning into an existing slot; changing +that behavior would not remove the temporary `RuntimeScalar` created by every +`&`, `|`, `^`, and shift node. The high-load JFR instead attributes the +recurring allocation to `BitwiseOperators.unsignedResult(long)` and its +non-small `RuntimeScalar` result. + +The next candidate must therefore be a generic JVM lowering for a complete +numeric bitwise expression assigned directly to an ordinary array element. It +may select only when all of the following are true: + +- The target and every source are direct lexical arrays, and every index is a + statically simple lexical/integer expression whose guard evaluation cannot + invoke Perl code. +- Immediately before the selected calculation, every participating array is + plain and unshared and every selected source slot is an untainted native + integer. The target must retain normal element identity and vivification. +- The compiler evaluates the selected tree as JVM `long` values and performs + one native-word element store. A failed guard evaluates the original AST + exactly once, in its ordinary left-to-right order; it must not observe a + partially evaluated leaf or a changed warning, tie, overload, taint, + alias, lvalue, or UV behavior. + +This is materially different from the rejected staged per-node guard: it +removes the complete transient-result representation only after a +pre-expression safety proof, rather than adding guards and spills around each +individual operator. It is also not a Life-pattern helper. The implementation +needs project-owned selected and fallback oracles (including tied arrays, +non-native/wide integers, taint, alias/element identity, and ordering), then +system Perl, both PerlOnJava backends, a clean immutable `make`, and the +existing exact-parent alternating high-load protocol before it can be kept. + +### Rejected: direct-array-only native-word matcher (2026-09-13) + +Commit `125d8863c` implemented a deliberately narrow version of the boundary +above: direct `my` array leaves, literal shifts, and lexical/integer index +algebra. It correctly rejected tied, shared, watched, tainted, non-native, +wide-UV, and non-lexical cells before any Perl-visible read, and its focused +oracle passed stock Perl, the JVM backend, and the interpreter. The exact +candidate JAR passed `make` in 3m57s, while exact parent `b514ff587` passed +independently in an isolated worktree in 4m02s. + +The one-pair bounded high-load diagnostic preserved Life checksum +`1243097892`; parent and candidate PerlOnJava medians were 2,081,802 and +2,099,712 operations/s (1.0086x) at recorded loads 8.77/13.02/11.44 and +5.81/11.20/10.88 respectively. This is not a valid measurement of the +intended representation change. The scored workload first loads direct array +elements into lexical `$left`, `$cell`, and `$right` variables, then uses +those scalar lexicals in the bitwise RHS. The candidate matcher accepted only +direct array leaves, so it necessarily selected the ordinary fallback for the +scored statement. The small ratio is therefore fallback noise, not evidence +for or against a whole-expression word lowering; do not spend a seven-pair +campaign on it. + +Post-revert disassembly of a direct-array variant did emit +`nativeIntegerElement` and `setUnsignedWordElement`, proving the lowerer +itself works for its smaller shape. It also exposed repeated per-leaf +array/index guards, which would need deduplication after selection. The next +candidate must first establish a conservative, block-local scalar-provenance +analysis: recognize fresh lexical scalar assignments from direct plain-array +reads; invalidate the proof on reassignment, reference/lvalue exposure, +calls, control-flow joins, dynamic source, or any non-native source; then +perform one pre-expression guard and word-tree lowering with the ordinary AST +as fallback. This is a materially broader ownership proof, not a revision of +the direct-array-only matcher. + +### In progress: guarded lexical-scalar word lowering (2026-09-13) + +The direct-array-only conclusion exposed a simpler valid boundary than +block-local array provenance. At the expression boundary in the scored Life +loop, `$left`, `$cell`, and `$right` have already been assigned. A direct `my` +scalar leaf whose exact runtime cell is an ordinary, untainted, +watcher-free `RuntimeScalar` holding a native integer can be read as a JVM +word without invoking `FETCH`, overload, conversion, or warning behavior; +any other cell takes the untouched generic AST path. This is a general +whole-expression rule, not a Life recognizer and not a claim about the source +array that produced an already-materialized scalar. + +The candidate accepts direct lexical scalar and array leaves, simple guarded +indexes, literal shifts, and a direct lexical-array target. Its emitted Life +bytecode proves actual selection: guards `$left`, `$cell`, `$right`, and `$i`, +then executes the `long` expression and one `setUnsignedWordElement` store. +`native_word_array_expression.t` covers the selected scalar shape, target +element identity, and tied-scalar fallback ordering; it passed stock Perl, +JVM, and interpreter. The clean immutable full gate passed in 3m44 at +`/tmp/make-native-word-scalar-lowering-clean-20260913.log`. + +One dirty-source, checksum-matched high-load diagnostic at +`/tmp/perf-life-native-word-scalar-diagnostic-20260913/20260913T011356Z/portfolio.json` +measured 2,612,025 PerlOnJava operations/s and 4,143,868 Perl operations/s +(0.63034x) with 20 users and load 4.39/10.21/10.05. It is directional only: +the artifact records the dirty source and one pair is not an exact-parent +comparison. Commit the candidate, rebuild an exact source/JAR, and require +seven alternating candidate/parent pairs with checksum agreement before +retention or a performance claim. + +The committed candidate `d9a11335f` then passed a source/JAR-matched immutable +`make` gate in 3m55s and completed seven valid high-load Life pairs at +`/tmp/perf-life-native-word-scalar-committed-highload-20260913/20260913T012230Z/portfolio.json`. +All checksums were `1243097892`, all warmups stabilized, and the candidate +Life/Perl median was 0.62160x (range 0.60415--0.64263; geometric mean +0.62290) at 20 users and load 11.62/12.36/10.90. The exact clean parent +`b514ff587` independently completed the same seven-pair protocol at +`/tmp/perf-life-native-word-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T012944Z/portfolio.json`: +0.54752x median (range 0.49542--0.55602) at 20 users and load +6.79/7.91/9.07. Comparing same-index JVM medians gives candidate/parent +ratios 1.19693--1.32705x (median 1.22233x; geometric mean 1.23072x). + +These are independent sequential protocol runs, not one interleaved +candidate/parent campaign, so the 23% estimate is strong directional selection +evidence rather than a final causal interval. The candidate nevertheless +materially improves the previously dominant Life bitwise representation and is +retained. It still misses the 1.05x Life anchor decisively; the next work must +profile and reduce the remaining call/frame and array-copy boundary, then +measure any new candidate against this exact source/JAR baseline under the +full protocol. + +### Post-word-lowering Life JFR selection (2026-09-13) + +The retained candidate received a source/JAR-matched, bounded one-pair 64 MB +JFR diagnostic at +`/tmp/perf-life-post-word-jfr-highload-20260913/20260913T013904Z/portfolio.json`. +The 26-second recording completed with the Life checksum and provides +allocation-selection evidence only, not a throughput comparison. It has 7,592 +allocation samples but only 19 execution samples, so it cannot justify a +leaf-helper optimization. + +The remaining steady-state evidence is structural: `RuntimeArray.setFromList` +at the generated Life body, `RuntimeCode.invokeCallable` / +`invokeWithCallFrame`, `MortalList.scopeExitCleanupArray`, lexical-alias +registration/unregistration, and deferred owner processing. The removed +`BitwiseOperators.unsignedResult` result-construction stack is no longer the +selection target. A future candidate must establish a generic read-only +argument/unpack or call-frame ownership/effect proof that rejects writes, +references, closures, dynamic calls, callbacks, control-flow joins, debugger +visibility, destructors, and alias exposure; it must retain the current fresh +array/call-frame path on every uncertain shape. Do not add a Life-specific +array shortcut or infer throughput from this sparse capture. + +### Completed: full retained-candidate high-load portfolio (2026-09-13) + +The retained lexical-word-lowering candidate completed the full required +seven alternating fresh-process pairs for every portfolio workload at clean +source `2b8e52bdee4dacf416d3f0be14b2111873a0a368` and JAR SHA-256 +`42b94e78fce9a79fe6672f4cdd8894b74ad333611b830b138c13cfdd71b25def`. +The artifact is +`/tmp/perf-issue1196-native-word-full-highload-20260913/20260913T014215Z/portfolio.json`; +the 10,000-resample analysis is +`/tmp/perf-issue1196-native-word-full-highload-20260913-analysis.json`. +It started with 20 users and load averages 6.11/5.55/6.90. All checksums +matched and warmups stabilized; the analyzer marks it protocol-compliant, +conclusive, stable, and authoritative (with the realistic host contention +explicitly admitted by `--allow-noisy-host`). + +The result decisively rejects parity: the portfolio geometric mean is 0.94059x +standard Perl (bootstrap 95% CI 0.92535--0.95396), below the 1.05x acceptance +threshold. Closure (1.08415x), method (1.10057x), numeric (1.18927x), and +JSON (2.52778x) are above Perl. The retained word lowering raises Life to +0.62564x (0.61967--0.63049), consistent with the prior directional +candidate/parent evidence, but it remains well below the anchor. The decisive +remaining deficits are string at 0.54396x (0.53598--0.55237) and regex at +0.53056x (0.52440--0.53744); regex is the portfolio minimum by median ratio +(0.52932x). + +This completes the measurement phase for the retained word candidate; it does +not establish overall parity. Next, obtain source-matched JFR and semantic +selection evidence for generic string and regex representation/cursor costs. +Retain the existing Life call-frame and array-ownership boundary unless a +generic effect proof covers writes, aliases, references, closures, callbacks, +control flow, debugger observation, and destructor timing. Every retained +candidate still requires permanent system-Perl-first coverage, both backends, +an immutable `make` gate, and a complete high-load portfolio before it changes +the current baseline. + +### Completed: current string and regex JFR selection (2026-09-13) + +Bounded one-pair, 128 MB JFR diagnostics completed successfully after the full +portfolio at the same runtime source/JAR (the source commit additionally +contains the documentation-only portfolio record). They are selection evidence +only, not acceptance measurements. The string artifact is +`/tmp/perf-issue1196-string-jfr-highload-20260913/20260913T022848Z/portfolio.json`; +its 27-second recording has 7,836 allocation and 1,382 execution samples. +The regex artifact is +`/tmp/perf-issue1196-regex-jfr-highload-20260913/20260913T023221Z/portfolio.json`; +its 26-second recording has 5,454 allocation and 1,538 execution samples. + +String's generated workload repeatedly crosses warning-aware +`stringConcatWarnUninitialized`, `Operator.substrImpl`, scalar mutation, and +ordinary call-frame stacks. This reconfirms the already-rejected +concat-to-substr fusion boundary; do not revive it or discard warning, +overload, taint, byte/Unicode, snapshot, or lvalue semantics. A successor must +remove a different generic representation cost with a proof that is cheaper +than its guard/fallback path. + +Regex's steady stacks are Joni `Matcher.searchCommon`, `ByteCodeMachine`, and +the `JoniRegexMatcher.find` / `RuntimeRegex.matchRegexDirect` `/g` lifecycle, +including `pos` publication and matcher-pool release. Preserve cursor +continuation and all empty-match, `\\G`, capture, character/byte-offset, and +callback behavior. The next candidate belongs at a general Joni search/match +or matcher-lifecycle boundary, with a scalable system-Perl-first reducer and +direct Joni coverage; it must not recognize the portfolio pattern or skip +publication semantics. + +### Rejected: captureless Joni region allocation (2026-09-13) + +The current JFR showed a `SingleRegion` allocation on every successful +captureless match. Candidate `1edf48280` avoided that snapshot only when +`groupCount()==0`, retaining the full region copy for numbered and named +captures. Its independent Perl-level oracle, +`src/test/resources/unit/regex_captureless_global_publication.t`, passed +system Perl, JVM, and interpreter. It verifies repeated captureless `/g` +whole-match offsets and `pos`, failure clearing, and ordinary numbered-capture +publication. The candidate's exact clean `make` gate passed in 3m40s at +`/tmp/make-regex-captureless-region-committed-20260913.log`; the exact parent +`a95477a90` passed independently in 3m44s at +`/tmp/make-regex-captureless-region-parent-20260913.log`. + +Both complete seven-pair high-load portfolios were checksum-valid, stable, +conclusive, and protocol-compliant. The candidate at +`/tmp/perf-regex-captureless-region-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T025408Z/portfolio.json` +measured 0.52643x Perl (95% interval 0.51809--0.53487); the parent at +`/tmp/perf-regex-captureless-region-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T030154Z/portfolio.json` +measured 0.54003x (0.52944--0.55104). Same-index candidate/parent JPerl +medians range from 0.95752x to 1.15307x (median 1.00656x; geometric mean +1.01698x). The runs were sequential rather than interleaved, so this does not +give a causal confidence interval; it is nevertheless decisively below the +material-gain threshold and contains two regressions. Commit `57320bcc3` +reverts the optimization; commit `9f7979ec8` retains the Perl semantics oracle. + +Do not repeat this captureless-region allocation change. The remaining regex +work must target the materially larger Joni search/bytecode execution root or +another independently attributed general representation boundary, not matcher +wrapper pooling, published snapshots, empty named-map reuse, or captureless +region snapshots. + +### Retained: lazy scalar regex result list (2026-09-13) + +The subsequent JFR allocation trace also showed that `matchRegexDirect` +constructed a `RuntimeList` for every match, including scalar and void calls +whose result is published through `RuntimeRegexState` and never exposes a +list. Commit `0c9e16e92` constructs that list only in list context; captureless +and captured list results retain the existing list/capture path. The expanded +`regex_captureless_global_publication.t` oracle covers scalar `/g` position +and whole-match state, failed-match clearing, captureless list results, and +captured list results. It passed system Perl, JVM, and interpreter. The exact +clean full gate passed in 3m50s at +`/tmp/make-regex-lazy-result-list-committed-20260913.log`. + +The exact candidate's complete high-load artifact is +`/tmp/perf-regex-lazy-result-list-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T032816Z/portfolio.json`: +0.52789x Perl (95% interval 0.52101--0.53485). The independently built exact +runtime parent `a95477a90` is +`/tmp/perf-regex-lazy-result-list-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T033603Z/portfolio.json`: +0.52549x (0.52120--0.53116). Same-index JPerl medians give 1.01478--1.07129x +candidate/parent, with median 1.03850x and geometric mean 1.04165x. These are +sequential protocol runs, not an interleaved causal interval, but every pair +improved and the source/JAR and checksums were clean, stable, conclusive, and +protocol-compliant. Retain this as a measured incremental reduction, not a +parity claim. The next regex candidate must still reduce the larger Joni +search/bytecode execution root or another independently attributed general +representation boundary. + +### Rejected: compiled-regex resolution wrapper elision (2026-09-13) + +The post-result-list JFR still sampled `ResolvedRegex` allocation beneath +`matchRegexDirect`: the ordinary compiled `qr//` path created an origin wrapper +whose flag is used only while constructing substitutions. Candidate +`940fdf1c9` returned an already compiled regex directly from the match resolver +while retaining the origin-aware substitution path. The existing publication +oracle passed system Perl, JVM, and interpreter (11 assertions), and the exact +candidate full gate passed in 4m11s at +`/tmp/make-regex-resolved-regex-wrapper-candidate-20260913.log`. + +The candidate's checksum-valid, stable, protocol-compliant seven-pair artifact +is `/tmp/perf-regex-resolved-wrapper-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T035551Z/portfolio.json`: +0.53293x Perl (95% interval 0.53106--0.53905). Its independently built exact +parent `5eadd5de9` passed `make` in 3m54s at +`/tmp/make-regex-resolved-wrapper-parent-20260913.log` and measured at +`/tmp/perf-regex-resolved-wrapper-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T040828Z/portfolio.json`: +0.55439x Perl (95% interval 0.53203--0.56150). Same-index candidate/parent +JPerl medians span 0.94530--1.09820x, with median 1.00454x and geometric mean +1.00447x. These sequential runs do not provide a causal interval, but they +show no material gain and include two regressions. Commit `83c880b02` reverts +the candidate. Do not revive this wrapper elision without new attribution that +changes this measurement boundary. + +### Rejected: fixed six/seven-byte Joni exact instructions (2026-09-13) + +The post-result-list JFR sampled the generic templated `EXACTN` loop for +longer literal alternatives. Candidate `dad0d5998` added general native +single-byte `EXACT6` and `EXACT7` instructions, retaining `EXACTN` for other +lengths. Direct Joni coverage asserted the emitted instructions plus positive +and negative matching; the Perl-level `regex_exact_literal_lengths.t` oracle +passed system Perl, JVM, and interpreter. The candidate's isolated full gate +passed in 3m49s at `/tmp/make-regex-exact67-candidate-isolated-20260913.log`. + +The candidate portfolio at +`/tmp/perf-regex-exact67-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T044149Z/portfolio.json` +was checksum-valid, stable, conclusive, and protocol-compliant: 0.54144x Perl +(95% interval 0.51878--0.59884). Its independently built direct parent +`90e9d61a2` passed `make` in 4m23s at +`/tmp/make-regex-exact67-parent-20260913.log` and measured at +`/tmp/perf-regex-exact67-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T045425Z/portfolio.json`: +0.53355x Perl (95% interval 0.52872--0.55548). Same-index candidate/parent +JPerl medians span 0.83788--1.20659x, with median 1.12678x but geometric mean +only 1.02655x; three of seven pairs regressed. The sequential runs provide no +causal interval and are not robustly or materially positive. Commit +`34bfa4652` reverts the candidate. Do not revive this opcode split without new +evidence that changes the boundary or an interleaved comparison that resolves +the observed host-order sensitivity. + +### Rejected: batched single-byte Joni map search (2026-09-13) + +The post-result-list JFR also sampled the generic `MAP_SB_FORWARD` start-class +search through long rejected byte prefixes. Candidate `e04cc9fef` checked four +single-byte map entries at a time while returning the first eligible byte +unchanged. Direct Joni coverage asserted `MAP_SB_FORWARD` selection and the +first case-folded candidate after a 4097-byte prefix. The Perl-level +`regex_single_byte_map_search.t` oracle passed system Perl, JVM, and +interpreter (four assertions). The candidate's isolated full gate passed in +3m59s at `/tmp/make-regex-map-candidate-e04cc9fef-20260913.log`; its exact +parent `5ae3406f1` independently passed in 4m12s at +`/tmp/make-regex-map-parent-5ae3406f1-20260913.log`. + +Both complete seven-pair portfolios were checksum-valid, stable, conclusive, +and protocol-compliant under concurrent real-host load. The candidate artifact +is `/tmp/perf-regex-map-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T051813Z/portfolio.json`: +0.53092x Perl (95% interval 0.52211--0.54161). Its exact parent is +`/tmp/perf-regex-map-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T052517Z/portfolio.json`: +0.53279x Perl (0.52733--0.53942). Same-index JPerl medians span +0.95615--1.03607x, with median 1.00742x and geometric mean 1.00240x; two of +seven pairs regressed. These sequential high-load runs do not establish a +causal interval and the apparent gain is not material. Commit `62683edf4` +reverts the candidate. Do not revisit this fixed-batch scan without a new +profile that attributes a materially larger map-search share or an +interleaved comparison resolving the host-order sensitivity. + +### Retained: generic Joni exact-byte batching (2026-09-13) + +The post-result-list JFR retained the generic single-byte `EXACTN` execution +loop beneath `ByteCodeMachine.executeSb`, after the fixed six/seven-byte opcode +split had been rejected. Commit `e0ed34a26` batches four ordinary exact-byte +comparisons while retaining the original short-circuit mismatch progression and +scalar tail. Direct Joni coverage verifies that a sixteen-byte exact program +matches after a prefix and rejects a final-byte mismatch; the Perl-level +`regex_long_exact_literal.t` oracle passed system Perl, JVM, and interpreter +(four assertions). The source/JAR-matched candidate gate passed in 3m55s at +`/tmp/make-regex-exactn-candidate-e0ed34a26-20260913.log`; independently built +exact parent `252249d8d` passed in 4m19s at +`/tmp/make-regex-exactn-parent-252249d8d-corrected-20260913.log`. + +Both complete seven-pair portfolios were checksum-valid, stable, conclusive, +and protocol-compliant under real host contention. Candidate +`/tmp/perf-regex-exactn-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T055801Z/portfolio.json` +measured 0.54588x Perl (95% interval 0.54280--0.55754); exact parent +`/tmp/perf-regex-exactn-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T060510Z/portfolio.json` +measured 0.53977x (0.53022--0.55093). Same-index JPerl medians span +0.99558--1.06379x, with six of seven pairs improving, median 1.02661x, and +geometric mean 1.03049x. The sequential high-load design provides no causal +interval, but this is a consistent measured incremental reduction; retain it +without claiming regex or portfolio parity. The next regex selection must +target a larger general search, bytecode, or matcher-lifecycle boundary. + +### Rebased regex JFR selection (2026-09-13) + +After the performance branch was carefully rebased onto current master, the +exact rebased head `a59f398c6` passed its immutable full gate in 4m59s. A +source/JAR-matched one-pair, 128 MB JFR diagnostic completed under current host +load at +`/tmp/perf-regex-rebased-jfr-highload-20260913/20260913T062632Z/portfolio.json`; +the recording is `regex-pair-01.jfr`. It is selection evidence only, not a +throughput acceptance run. + +The execution samples retain generic matcher work (`Matcher.searchCommon`, +459; `Matcher.search`, 441; `JoniRegexMatcher.find`, 419; +`ByteCodeMachine.executeSb`, 313) but reduce the retained generic `opExactN` +leaf to 23 samples. Construction remains material: `RuntimeRegex.getQuotedRegex` +has 168 samples, with package construction at 84. The next candidate must +therefore establish a general, semantics-preserving construction/cache boundary +that retains dynamic templates, overload, lexical package, warning, modifier, +source-provenance, and `qr//` identity behavior. Do not revive the rejected +compiled-wrapper elision or use a portfolio-pattern cache. + +### Final-rebase string JFR selection (2026-09-13) + +After the branch was replayed onto `35a627379`, the exact rebased head +`36a69e7cc` passed its immutable full gate in 6m18s. A bounded one-pair, +128 MB source/JAR-matched string JFR diagnostic completed at +`/tmp/perf-string-rebased-final-jfr-highload-20260913/20260913T072240Z/portfolio.json`; +the recording is `string-pair-01.jfr` (26 seconds, 1,114 execution samples, +and 7,658 allocation samples). Both engines produced checksum `24` and stable +warmups. It is selection evidence only: JFR perturbation and one pair do not +establish a throughput result. + +The generated string body `anon586.apply` (835 samples) and generic call +transport (`RuntimeCode.invokeCallable`, 825; `invokeWithCallFrame`, 604) +remain dominant. The string-specific work is still material: +`stringConcatWarnUninitialized` has 344 samples, while `Operator.substrImpl` +has 120; sampled allocation classes include 5,182 `RuntimeScalar`, 1,094 +`String`, 772 `byte[]`, and 327 `RuntimeBase[]` instances. This does not +justify reviving the rejected ordinary-concat fast path, concat/substr fusion, +or fixed-arity taint helper. The next string candidate must remove a broader +temporary representation or a complete call/body transport cost with a +generic ownership proof and ordinary fallback, then use an exact-parent +alternating high-load comparison. + +### Retained: two-argument substr temporary-array elimination (2026-09-13) + +The final-rebase string disassembly showed that every two-argument `substr` +allocated a `RuntimeBase[]` only to call the generic varargs entry point. +Commit `bf5233a2b` emits a fixed-arity JVM call for exactly two arguments; +both fixed-arity runtime methods delegate to the existing shared semantics +implementation, and three/four-argument calls retain the varargs path. The +new `substr_two_argument_emission.t` oracle covers suffix extraction, lvalue +assignment, supplementary-character offsets, scalar snapshots, and an +out-of-range read. It passed system Perl and both PerlOnJava backends (five +assertions); generated bytecode showed the fixed-arity descriptor. The exact +candidate full gate passed in 6m02s at +`/tmp/make-substr-two-argument-candidate-exact-bf5233a2b-20260913.log`; exact +parent `697424028` independently passed in 5m46s at +`/tmp/make-substr-two-argument-parent-exact-697424028-20260913.log`. + +Both complete seven-pair portfolios were checksum-valid, stable, conclusive, +and protocol-compliant under realistic host contention. Candidate +`/tmp/perf-substr-two-argument-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T075919Z/portfolio.json` +measured 0.56816x Perl (95% interval 0.52548--0.61221); exact parent +`/tmp/perf-substr-two-argument-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T080640Z/portfolio.json` +measured 0.56213x (0.52336--0.60546). Same-index JPerl medians gave ratios +1.16474, 0.98849, 1.00662, 1.06743, 1.16030, 1.14008, and 1.06368: six of +seven improve, with median 1.06743x and geometric mean 1.08240x. Sequential +loaded-host runs do not provide a causal interval, but this is a consistent +material reduction; retain it without claiming string or portfolio parity. + +### Rejected: cached static-regex package mutation bypass (2026-09-13) + +The rebased construction profile also sampled `RuntimeRegex.getQuotedRegexInPackage` +(84 samples), which mutates the current package before reaching the static +callsite cache. Candidate `23f28b5f2` returned a callsite cache hit before that +mutation. It preserved the miss path for lexical package-sensitive initial +compilation. `static_match_regex_cache.t` passed system Perl and both JVM and +interpreter backends (three assertions); the source/JAR-matched candidate full +gate passed in 4m08s at +`/tmp/make-regex-package-cache-candidate-23f28b5f2-20260913.log`. Its exact +parent `a1a0464ec` independently passed in 7m30s at +`/tmp/make-regex-package-cache-parent-a1a0464ec-20260913.log`. + +The candidate portfolio +`/tmp/perf-regex-package-cache-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T064613Z/portfolio.json` +was stable and protocol-compliant but measured 0.56147x Perl (95% interval +0.38135--0.56653). The exact parent +`/tmp/perf-regex-package-cache-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T065452Z/portfolio.json` +was protocol-compliant but classified noisy-paired, at 0.54300x Perl (95% +interval 0.45303--0.61147). Same-index JPerl medians gave ratios +1.31522, 1.01254, 1.32476, 0.91022, 0.86418, 1.05526, and 1.19774: median +1.05526x and geometric mean 1.08358x, but two material regressions and a +noisy baseline. The sequential loaded-host result is not sufficiently +consistent to retain a semantics-sensitive package-state bypass. This commit +removes the candidate; do not retry this shortcut without an interleaved +comparison that resolves the order/load sensitivity and a broader package +semantics proof. + +### Rebase verification (2026-09-13) + +Before continuing from the authoritative portfolio commit `256e63bb8`, the +PR branch was fetched and compared with `origin/master`: it is 329 commits +ahead and zero commits behind. No rebase was performed, avoiding an +unnecessary rewrite of the clean source/JAR provenance already used by the +authoritative high-load portfolio. + +### Current full high-load portfolio (2026-09-13) + +The complete default portfolio was re-run from the retained two-argument +`substr` implementation at clean source commit `77f5d7470`. The artifact is +`/tmp/perf-current-rebased-all-highload-20260913/20260913T082247Z/portfolio.json`; +its independent analysis is +`/tmp/perf-current-rebased-all-highload-analysis.json`. The protocol is +conclusive and authoritative (`protocol_compliant: true`, `measurement_quality: +stable`): all seven pairs for each workload had matching checksums and stable +warmups under the realistic concurrent host load. The artifact records the +host identity and starting host state; it does not claim a per-pair quiet-host +measurement. + +This is strong evidence that the call-boundary work now exceeds standard Perl +for the two #1196 anchors, but it does **not** meet the overall objective. +The portfolio geometric mean is 0.94833x Perl (95% CI 0.91357--0.96817), so the +existing 1.05x acceptance threshold rejects it and the stronger every-workload +parity target remains unproven. + +| Workload | Geometric mean ratio | Median ratio | 95% CI | +| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | +| closure | 1.07267x | 1.09335x | 1.01482--1.11018x | +| method | 1.12103x | 1.13231x | 1.09565--1.14253x | +| numeric | 1.21837x | 1.20088x | 1.19697--1.24276x | +| string | 0.54853x | 0.54523x | 0.53300--0.56242x | +| regex | 0.55229x | 0.55046x | 0.54573--0.55887x | +| life | 0.60639x | 0.61539x | 0.58118--0.62385x | +| json | 2.50690x | 2.51216x | 2.44592--2.56849x | + +The subsequent shared-return guard below only changes `threads::shared` +ownership cases; none of these workloads enables threads, so it does not alter +the measured paths. Treat this as a scoped inference, not a replacement for a +new source/JAR-matched portfolio after any broad runtime change. Next +performance selection should focus on the still-material string, regex, and +Life boundaries; do not claim completion from the closure/method gains. + +### Exact-head regex JFR selection (2026-09-13) + +The clean exact head `e9bc729bd` received a bounded one-pair 128 MB JFR and +call-layer diagnostic under the same realistic host contention (20 users; +load 12.32/14.27/13.79). The artifact is +`/tmp/perf-regex-e9bc729bd-jfr-highload-20260913/20260913T095324Z/portfolio.json`; +the JFR is `regex-pair-01.jfr` and the call-layer artifact is +`regex-pair-01-call-layer.json`. Both engines stabilized and returned checksum +`1024`. One pair with JFR perturbation is selection evidence only and is not +portfolio-compliant throughput evidence. + +The 1,589 execution samples continue to put generic regex dispatch and Joni +matching ahead of an individual bytecode leaf: `RuntimeRegex.matchRegex` (505), +`Matcher.search` (496), generated body `anon587.apply` (444), +`RuntimeCode.invokeCallable` (377), `Matcher.searchCommon` (377), +`Matcher.matchCheck` (377), `ByteCodeMachine.matchAt` (341), +`invokeWithCallFrame` (301), and `JoniRegexMatcher.find` (257). The 4,963 +allocation samples are led by `byte[]` (1,436), `String` (897), +`LinkedHashMap` (879), `Integer` (719), `RuntimeScalar` (579), and Joni +`SingleRegion` (240). Package-sensitive regex construction remains visible +but smaller (`getQuotedRegexInPackage`, 72 samples); the previously rejected +cache-bypass must not be restored. + +Select a generic matcher/dispatch or temporary-representation boundary only +after a semantics proof covers dynamic templates, modifiers, package and +warning state, source provenance, `qr//` identity, `/g` position, captures, +and callbacks. Do not optimize a portfolio-specific pattern, remove the +ordinary matcher lifecycle, or infer a candidate speedup from this diagnostic. + +### Rejected: shared empty named-capture result map (2026-09-13) + +The exact-head regex JFR sampled 879 `LinkedHashMap` allocations. The scored +regex pattern has no named captures, and `updateLastNamedCaptureGroups` created +one mutable empty map per successful scalar `/g` probe just to clear `%+` and +`%-`. Candidate `83961994c` used an immutable shared empty map for that exact +no-named-capture result, retaining ordinary mutable maps when names exist. A +new `regex_no_named_capture_state.t` oracle proved the observable state +transition with standard Perl and both PerlOnJava backends. The candidate's +exact source/JAR full gate passed in 3m37s at +`/tmp/make-regex-empty-named-captures-exact-83961994c-20260913.log`; the clean +exact parent `6130e22c6` independently passed in 5m30s at +`/tmp/make-regex-empty-named-captures-parent-exact-6130e22c6-20260913.log`. + +Both seven-pair single-workload portfolios were checksum-valid, stable, +conclusive, and protocol-compliant under realistic host load. Candidate +`/tmp/perf-regex-empty-named-captures-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T101154Z/portfolio.json` +measured 0.54671x Perl (95% interval 0.54338--0.54972); exact parent +`/tmp/perf-regex-empty-named-captures-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T102617Z/portfolio.json` +measured 0.54928x (0.54411--0.55488). Same-index JPerl medians give +candidate/parent ratios 0.99749, 0.96514, 0.97769, 0.97428, 1.00312, 0.89638, +and 0.89431: median 0.97428x and geometric mean 0.95742x. The candidate is a +material regression despite eliminating allocations, so it is reverted. Do +not retry this isolated map reuse; choose a wider matcher/dispatch boundary +with an Amdahl budget large enough to affect regex parity. + +### Fixed: shared object ownership across ithread return (2026-09-13) + +The older PR #1295 CI failure was reproducible on this branch in +`perl5/dist/threads-shared/t/object.t`: its interpreter virtual-mode run +failed four assertions (19, 21, 22, and 23). The same direct test passed +28/28 against an independently built current-master worktree, establishing a +branch regression. The cause was the detached-rvalue return optimization: +it treated a scalar wrapper around `threads::shared` storage as safely detached, +allowing an ithread snapshot to retain the caller's object path. + +`RuntimeScalar.canCrossRvalueReturnBoundaryWithoutCopy` now keeps the ordinary +rvalue copy for a shared scalar or a reference whose referent is shared. The +non-shared fast path remains unchanged. The permanent +`threads_shared_object_return_isolation.t` regression test passes standard +Perl and both PerlOnJava backends. The source/JAR-matched full gate passed in +4m34s at `/tmp/make-threads-detached-return-guard-exact-final-20260913.log`. +The exact upstream reproducer now passes 28/28 in both interpreter virtual and +platform modes at +`/tmp/pr1295-threads-object-exact-interpreter-virtual.log` and +`/tmp/pr1295-threads-object-exact-interpreter-platform.log`. + +### Completed: literal-alternation full high-load portfolio (2026-09-13) + +The generic capture-free, case-sensitive byte-literal Joni alternation fast +path is retained. Its focused exact-parent comparison improved the scored +regex workload by 1.21666x geometric mean (1.20254x median) across seven +same-index loaded-host pairs. Before broad measurement, commit `b778097a2` +also added a conservative `Option.isFindCondition` exclusion, so Joni +`FIND_LONGEST` and `FIND_NOT_EMPTY` continue through the ordinary bytecode +machine. The direct Joni regression, Perl-level `/g`/branch-order regression, +and exact-source immutable gate all passed; the final exact gate is recorded +at `/tmp/make-joni-literal-alternation-exact-b778097a2-20260913.log`. + +The resulting complete seven-workload, seven-pair fresh-process portfolio ran +under the realistic high-load host at clean source +`b778097a2911f27f5c9237ebfce077f2abe1866e`. Its raw artifact is +`/tmp/perf-joni-literal-alternation-final-highload-20260913/20260913T113416Z/portfolio.json` +and its analyzer output is +`/tmp/perf-joni-literal-alternation-final-highload-analysis-20260913.json`. +The runner exited zero after every checksum and protocol check, but the +portfolio itself is correctly marked inconclusive: the geometric mean is +0.97524x Perl (95% interval 0.94835--1.06709x), with a 0.56227x minimum. +The workload geometric means are closure 1.09507x, method 1.12670x, numeric +1.20690x, string 0.57196x, regex 0.69778x, Life 0.66127x, and JSON 2.44470x. + +This does not meet Issue #1196's acceptance rule (portfolio geometric mean at +least 1.05x with its interval entirely above 1.0x, closure and Life likewise, +and no workload below 0.90x). Retain the narrow Joni improvement because its +exact-parent evidence is consistently positive, but do not present it as +portfolio parity or use this contention-heavy run as an authoritative +baseline. The next candidate must address a broad, separately attributed +string, regex, or Life representation/dispatch boundary and must again pass +system-Perl-first semantics, both backends, an immutable full gate, an +exact-parent comparison, and a full portfolio before any acceptance claim. + +### Retained: guarded plain UTF-8 string concatenation (2026-09-13) + +Commit `19653cf32` adds a general fast path inside the warning-aware string +concat operation after tied operands and definedness have been observed. It +selects only two ordinary, non-proxy `STRING` scalars with neither taint nor +format taint. That representation excludes references and blessed values, and +the existing path remains responsible for every byte-string, special-variable, +tied, overload, warning, and taint case. The existing focused oracle passed +standard Perl and both PerlOnJava backends; the exact source/JAR full gate +passed in 5m13s at +`/tmp/make-string-plain-concat-exact-19653cf32-20260913.log`. + +Both seven-pair string-only portfolios were checksum-valid, stable, +conclusive, and protocol-compliant under the realistic host load. Candidate +`/tmp/perf-string-plain-concat-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T124647Z/portfolio.json` +measured 0.55938x Perl (95% interval 0.54353--0.57684); exact parent +`044b52c53`, independently gated at +`/tmp/make-string-plain-concat-parent-exact-044b52c53-20260913.log`, measured +0.53374x (0.51366--0.55172) at +`/tmp/perf-string-plain-concat-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T130057Z/portfolio.json`. +Same-index candidate/parent ratios are 0.94471, 1.10434, 1.09286, 1.02715, +1.05842, 1.09524, and 1.02291: six of seven improve, with a 1.05842x median +and 1.04803x geometric mean. Retain this measured generic reduction, but do +not claim string or portfolio parity; string remains far below the 0.90x +acceptance floor and requires a new independently attributed boundary. + +### Completed: plain-concat source full high-load portfolio (2026-09-13) + +The exact runtime source for the guarded plain-string concatenation candidate, +`19653cf32`, was built and gated before the documentation-only handoff commit +`222a9ce50`; the later commit is the source identifier embedded by the runner +and does not change the measured JAR. The completed seven-workload, seven-pair +fresh-process portfolio is +`/tmp/perf-string-plain-concat-full-highload-20260913/20260913T131039Z/portfolio.json`, +with analyzer output at +`/tmp/perf-string-plain-concat-full-highload-analysis-20260913.json`. The +runner exited zero after its checksum and protocol checks. + +The high-load artifact is protocol-compliant but intentionally +non-authoritative: it disallows noisy-host acceptance, so the analyzer reports +an inconclusive measurement rather than accepting a contention-derived +baseline. It nevertheless records a 0.98267x portfolio geometric mean (95% +interval 0.88524--1.06769x) and a 0.55390x minimum. Workload geometric means +are closure 1.11943x, method 1.18735x, numeric 1.20075x, string 0.55380x, +regex 0.62541x, Life 0.60002x, and JSON 2.59039x. This is a useful current +high-load checkpoint, not evidence of Issue #1196 acceptance or the stronger +per-workload 1-to-1 objective. The next investigation must use a measured +shared dispatch/result-ownership cost model for the remaining string, regex, +and Life deficits; do not revive rejected leaf shortcuts merely because the +full aggregate is near 1.0x. + +### Completed: string/regex/Life allocation attribution (2026-09-13) + +The next diagnostic ran the scored string, regex, and Life workloads through +seven fresh pairs with JFR and call-layer metrics enabled. The source was the +documentation-only successor `c40ea5c8d` of the already gated +`19653cf32` runtime JAR. The raw portfolio is +`/tmp/perf-string-regex-life-attribution-highload-20260913/20260913T141100Z/portfolio.json`, +the analyzer output is +`/tmp/perf-string-regex-life-attribution-highload-analysis-20260913.json`, and +all 21 JFR/call-layer pairs were emitted before the runner exited zero. + +JFR/diagnostics intentionally perturb throughput, so their three-workload +0.59718x geometric mean is profiling evidence, not a comparison with the +non-JFR portfolio. The separate workload ratios were string 0.53069x, regex +0.60011x, and Life 0.56725x; this host remains intentionally non-authoritative +because noisy-host acceptance is disabled. The weighted dominant +`named-args-instance-apply` categories report only 0.11us setup/string outer +call, 0.19us/regex, and 0.39us/Life, versus 24.78us, 301.47us, and 1.043ms +respective body time. Therefore a generic call-frame setup rewrite is not a +credible main lever and must not be attempted without a new proof. + +Allocation sampling identifies `RuntimeScalar` as the main material category: +166.6GB sampled weight in the representative string process and 96.1GB in +Life. String's sampled leading stack reaches +`RuntimeArray.createReferenceWithTrackedElements`, while Life additionally +shows object-array and boxed-number material. Those are distinct ownership and +representation paths, so the next candidate must isolate one path with its +Perl semantic contract and exact-parent evidence; do not pool or broadly reuse +call frames/scalars across them. + +### Rejected: plain string plus integer concatenation (2026-09-13) + +Commit `72ff94b56` extended the retained warning-aware UTF-8 fast path from +two plain strings to a plain `STRING` left operand plus a resolved untainted +`INTEGER` right operand. The new four-case regression passed system Perl and +both PerlOnJava backends, and its exact-source full gate passed in 8m23s at +`/tmp/make-string-concat-string-integer-exact-72ff94b56-20260913.log`. +The extension is nevertheless rejected: its source/JAR-matched candidate +portfolio is +`/tmp/perf-string-concat-string-integer-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T151349Z/portfolio.json`, +and exact parent `feb90080d`, independently gated in 6m56s at +`/tmp/make-string-concat-string-integer-parent-exact-feb90080d-20260913.log`, +is measured at +`/tmp/perf-string-concat-string-integer-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T153456Z/portfolio.json`. + +The candidate's string geometric mean was 0.49774x Perl, while the parent was +0.58096x. Same-index candidate/parent ratios are 0.96118, 0.99937, 0.55152, +1.02527, 1.13041, 1.03022, and 0.53565: 0.99937x median and 0.85675x +geometric mean. Both raw runs completed all checksum/protocol checks; the +candidate report is noisy-host inconclusive while the parent string-only +report is stable but incomplete for full portfolio acceptance. Commit +`137371722` reverts the candidate, restoring source-equivalent runtime code to +the exact parent. Do not retry this typed concat extension; its added branch +cost outweighs avoided ordinary-path work under the scored workload. + +## Historical workstream sequence — not the current task queue + +Start with the audited first-work-session plan at the top of this document. +The list below retains the earlier broader workstream history and candidates; +several proposed comparisons were subsequently completed or rejected. + +1. **Completed: enforce the acceptance reporter (`ff7dd7d85`).** The unit + suite proves that incomplete portfolios and a closure interval crossing + 1.00x cannot pass. +2. **Completed: make `JSON::PP::_string` JVM-compilable.** The permanent + labeled-loop and JSON tests prove standard Perl behavior, both backends, and + the absence of `_string` interpreter fallback. The cleanup-level representation + is reference-typed end-to-end so JVM frames cannot merge an uninitialized + reference slot with an integer cleanup level. +3. **Completed for selection: attribute the newly compiled hot path.** The + post-warmup JFR and per-CV call collector isolate `_string`, `_next_chr`, + and `_white`; their host-contended timing remains diagnostic-only. Preserve + the raw per-CV counts and collect a quiet-host confirmation before making + a throughput claim. Do not optimize module loading, ASM compilation, or an + individual sampled runtime helper without its non-overlapping Amdahl budget. +4. **Completed for allocation selection: rebind pooled Joni matchers and bound + subject encoding caches.** The warning-hook forwarding lambda, byte-mode + identity maps, a bounded feature-free Joni pool, and a per-thread bounded + subject-input cache are in place; neither cache retains an unbounded subject + set. + The cross-subject snapshot, subject-cache mutation, and non-Unicode + warning metadata regressions plus the + full gate cover their safety. Next, use alternating fresh-process pairs on a + quiet host to measure the non-overlapping throughput effect, then profile + residual byte-array construction. Generic `RuntimeCode` call frames remain + the next larger CPU budget; revisit direct-leaf lowering only under its + explicit marker-ownership gate. +5. **Completed: measure fresh-lexical `@_` unpack lowering by scope.** The + broad RHS transport removal regressed at 0.9636x median and was narrowed + back to one/two slots. The fixed-slot lowering gained 1.0495x median in + seven pairs and remains; it is not portfolio acceptance evidence. +6. **Derive a whole-body eligibility proof before changing generated-method + scalar representation.** The current method JFR and seven-pair loaded-host + portfolio retain generated lexical setup as the leading selection target, + but `direct_argument_binding_guard.t` rejects argument-cell borrowing. + Identify a non-escaping static body shape, its runtime plain-value guards, + and a fallback before considering stack-local or leased lexical cells. + Prove lvalue, aliasing, destructor, exception, control-flow, recursion, + debugger, and dynamic-source behavior; do not broaden the existing `@_` + frame cache into a generic cell pool. The active-pad registration experiment + is rejected; select a lowering that removes a scalar representation or a + complete operation, rather than one that merely changes its observability. +7. **Reassess a `methodArgsWithSelf` reduction only after that selection.** Correct the initial-sample + weighting before ranking this allocation source. Do not pool or reuse a frame + until ownership is proven across retained `@_` references, tail calls, + exception cleanup, and non-local control flow. Prefer a narrow method-call + representation whose fallback preserves the current `RuntimeArray` ABI. + The first candidate is a per-depth runtime-local frame only for CVs whose + sole argument use is the recognized direct fresh unpack; add selected and + rejected observer/recursion/alias coverage before implementing it. +8. **Measure the direct scalar-result recycle repair against its parent.** + Use alternating fresh-process method pairs on a quiet host, with allocation + attribution. Retain the generic `RuntimeList` path for list, lvalue, tail + call, and non-local-control-flow cases; do not widen result recycling unless + the next narrow guard is standard-Perl validated and proves ownership on + both backends. +9. **Use the exact opt-in scalar-result counters to find any remaining bypass.** + Attribute acquire, recycle, and rejected-recycle outcomes after warmup; a + sampled JFR allocation site alone cannot establish that a caller fails to + recycle. Keep the counters absent from normal timing runs. +10. **Only then revisit direct-leaf lowering if marker ownership is proven.** + First demonstrate a selected generated JSON CV, retain the generic path, + and prove selected/rejected behavior on standard Perl and both backends. +11. **Test the hot-eval hypothesis only after that profile.** `JPERL_EVAL_NO_INTERPRETER=1` + previously moved the JSON diagnostic by only about 5%. Verify which hot CVs + changed backend and whether they account for the remaining time. Do not + build a promotion mechanism until this activation evidence supports it. +12. **Screen each structural candidate with an Amdahl budget.** Record the + non-overlapping fraction it affects, its guard hit rate, fallback cost, + expected residual cost, allocations, and required speedup. Reject a change + that cannot close a meaningful portion of a scored workload's budget even + if it reduces a frequent opcode. +13. **Implement only measured hot paths.** Candidate classes include repeated + interpreter call sequences, dynamic regex scope setup, lexical cleanup, and + JSON::PP-specific executed patterns. Preserve the generic slow path and add + standard-Perl regression coverage before backend and full-suite validation. +14. **Measure parent and candidate from the same controlled source state.** + Start with a paired diagnostic only to answer the candidate's cost question. + Run the complete seven-pair portfolio only after it demonstrates a material + reduction. Retain compact evidence in the main design and update this + handoff with exact commit hashes and remaining budgets. + +### Retained: plain byte-string plus integer concatenation (2026-09-13) + +Commit `0d5af0d99` extends the retained post-warning byte-string path from +`BYTE_STRING + BYTE_STRING` to ordinary, untainted `BYTE_STRING + INTEGER`. +This is distinct from the previously rejected `STRING + INTEGER` experiment: +it preserves byte representation for the string benchmark's first byte result +before its integer suffix. Tied, overloaded, proxy, tainted, formatted, and +special-variable operands remain on the generic path. The permanent octet +oracle checks content and byte flags; it passed on system Perl, JVM, and +interpreter. The exact committed full gate passed in 5m21s at +`/tmp/make-string-byte-integer-candidate-exact-0d5af0d99-20260913.log`. + +The candidate string portfolio completed at +`/tmp/perf-string-byte-integer-candidate-highload-20260913/20260913T184158Z/portfolio.json`; +the independently built exact retained parent `e5344d2b6` passed its full gate +in 4m46s at `/tmp/make-string-byte-integer-parent-e5344d2b6-20260913.log` and +completed at +`/tmp/perf-string-byte-integer-parent-highload-20260913/20260913T185513Z/portfolio.json`. +Candidate/parent same-index ratios are 1.11578, 1.09938, 0.97331, 1.06038, +1.00724, 1.17498, and 1.07289: 1.07289x median and 1.07016x geometric mean. +Both reports classify their local measurements stable, but the sequential +host-contended schedule is descriptive rather than causal A/B proof. The +effect is material and six of seven ratios improve, so retain this narrow path +and run the required complete integration portfolio before claiming a new +portfolio ratio or acceptance result. + +### Completed: byte-string/integer full high-load portfolio (2026-09-13) + +The exact runtime source for retained byte-string/integer candidate +`0d5af0d99` was built and gated before documentation-only successor +`88a7a929c`. The complete fresh-process portfolio completed at +`/tmp/perf-byte-integer-concat-full-highload-20260913/20260913T190429Z/portfolio.json`; +analysis is `/tmp/perf-byte-integer-concat-full-highload-analysis-20260913.json`. +The protocol completed, but high host contention leaves the report +inconclusive and non-authoritative: portfolio geometric mean is 0.95317x Perl +(95% interval 0.88073–1.06369x), with a 0.61450x minimum. + +Workload geometric means are closure 1.16258x, method 1.19841x, numeric +1.12967x, string 0.61656x, regex 0.68432x, Life 0.64607x, and JSON 1.76084x. +This is not Issue #1196 acceptance and does not meet the stronger +per-workload 1-to-1 target. The byte/integer path remains retained from its +exact-parent local comparison; the next selection is Life residual +arithmetic/array/result transport, followed by string representation and +general regex result/search work. + +### Rejected: void plain-array assignment result elision (2026-09-13) + +Commit `d19ed644a` specialized the existing void-context +`setFromListDiscardResult` API for ordinary arrays.

Keep the +retained generic UTF-8 plain-string concat, byte-string concat and +byte-string/integer concat paths, capture-free literal alternation dispatch, +lazy scalar-match materialization of `$&`, and empty use-site warning-path +elision; none establishes portfolio parity. + +## Fresh attribution and selected work + +### 1. Life: establish a safe representation boundary first + +The fresh Life recording is `/tmp/perf-life-current-body-20260914.jfr` with +its workload log at `/tmp/perf-life-current-body-20260914.log`. It completed +with checksum `1243097892` after stable warmup. Allocation samples repeatedly +reach `RuntimeArray.addToArray`, range iteration, arithmetic scalar creation, +and `RuntimeArray.setUnsignedWordElement`. + +The likely opportunity is avoiding transient scalar/list transport inside the +bit-packed recurrence. It is **not** safe to reuse destination array element +cells generally: standard Perl and PerlOnJava both preserve a reference to an +old `@a` element across `@a = @b`. Any transfer/rebind optimization therefore +needs a whole-body, lexical no-escape proof for both arrays, dead-source proof, +and a generic fallback. Do not implement a local shortcut based only on the +Life benchmark shape. + +Current disassembly confirms that the final `$next[$i]` expression already +uses native-word operations. The material unlowered boundary is the three +preceding `$left`/`$cell`/`$right` array reads: each still performs generic +index arithmetic, allocates a lexical scalar, resolves its alias, and calls +`addToScalar`. + +A retained guarded reduction now avoids live-pad registration for leaf JVM +CVs that cannot call, evaluate dynamic source, create nested closures, or +compile runtime regex source. PadWalker/Devel::LexAlias remains the ordinary +path whenever enabled. The full gate and focused JVM/interpreter live-pad test +passed. Under sustained host contention, two alternating three-pair Life +screens produced candidate medians 0.64683x and 0.65155x Perl versus parent +0.61061x and 0.62483x (geometric comparison 1.05102x). This is selection +evidence only; next run the default complete portfolio before claiming a +retained project-level improvement. + +### 2. Regex: target matcher/dispatch body cost + +The current regex JFR is `/tmp/perf-regex-current-body-20260914.jfr`; compact +CPU/allocation reports are `/tmp/perf-regex-current-body-20260914.cpu.txt` and +`/tmp/perf-regex-current-body-20260914.alloc.txt`. It completed with checksum +`1024`. CPU samples center on `RuntimeRegex.matchRegexDirect`, regex metadata, +literal-pad materialization, quoted-regex resolution, and Joni search/matcher +configuration. Allocate effort to a broad dispatch or temporary-representation +boundary with a non-overlapping Amdahl budget, not an individual bytecode leaf. + +The scalar-match whole-text boundary is now lazy: it keeps the immutable +match-time input and offsets, then creates `$&` only if it is read. The +focused system-Perl/JVM/interpreter test covers failed-follow-up and replacement +visibility, and the exact PR gate passed. In the clean managed candidate and +reverse-parent screens it improved the regex median from 0.65171x to 0.72192x +despite higher candidate host load. Next, profile the remaining matcher and +dispatch body after this allocation is removed; do not special-case the +portfolio pattern or make list-context `/g` return values lazy. + +Patterns without deferred use-site diagnostics now bypass dynamic warning-scope +resolution; patterns with diagnostics retain the complete warning path. This +raised the clean seven-pair regex screen from 0.68546x to 0.75043x Perl despite +higher candidate load. Profile only the residual generic matcher/dispatch +costs next, retaining dynamic templates, warning policy, and callback behavior. + +Preserve dynamic templates/modifiers, package and warning state, `qr//` +identity, `/g` position, capture state, callbacks, and Joni find conditions. +The retained literal alternation fast path must remain excluded for +`FIND_LONGEST` and `FIND_NOT_EMPTY`. + +### 3. String: reduce a representation/ownership boundary + +String remains well below the 0.90x floor. Prior attribution reaches +`RuntimeArray.createReferenceWithTrackedElements`, scalar materialization, and +string/substr work. Start with one broadly applicable, semantics-proven +representation boundary. Avoid another typed leaf branch unless profiling shows +its selected fraction and fallback cost can clear a material budget. + +## Do not retry unchanged + +- Empty named-capture map reuse, captureless Joni-region elimination, and + zero-capture cursor pooling regressed despite allocation reductions. +- Joni parsed-program metadata bit-mask checks regressed: same-index + candidate/parent geometric mean 0.95998x in the reverse-order full check. +- Retaining a native Joni matcher inside an already-published `/g` cursor + regressed 0.88306x against its exact parent. Keep the existing per-probe + matcher-pool lifecycle; changing only its publication point is not a viable + regex lever. +- Literal-pad lock elision was non-repeatable across reversed high-load + screens. Do not replace the synchronized hit path without controlled-host + evidence of a material benefit. +- A 64-slot direct front cache for the per-runtime static-regex map was + correct and isolated, but gained only 1.04785x in the candidate-first, + parent-reverse high-load comparison. Keep the ordinary map until a broader + cache boundary clears the 5% selection threshold. +- Moving a plain scalar's `pos`/`/g` bookkeeping into a runtime-tagged direct + field preserved cross-runtime isolation and passed the full gate, but its + seven-pair exact-parent screen was inconclusive (1.11451x, 0.90006--1.38006) + and a same-host Perl screen was non-accepting (0.97648x, + 0.81880--1.16453). Keep the bounded per-runtime map; direct state changes + its lifetime shape without a repeatable body-cost win. +- Skipping one-slot Joni `Region` allocation for capture-free matches passed + the focused group-zero coverage and full gate, but its seven-pair exact- + parent screen was likewise inconclusive (1.06593x, 0.89930--1.26343). + Keep the uniform capture snapshot path; allocation reduction alone does not + clear the selection threshold under realistic load. +- Direct forward discovery for Joni's capture-free literal alternations + preserved resumed `/g` bounds and passed the full gate, but three high-load + candidate/parent probes were 1.04973x, 0.96537x, and 0.96986x. Keep Joni's + generic candidate search; this dispatch shortcut is not repeatable. +- Caching constructor-fixed direct-global-cursor eligibility gained only + 1.04476x against its reverse parent. Keep the direct check; do not trade + readability for a sub-threshold metadata-cache gain. +- Publishing a shared immutable empty named-capture map avoided a per-match + allocation and preserved `%+`/`%-` clearing, but its high-load candidate and + reverse-parent medians were only 0.77383x and 0.76465x respectively (1.01200x + candidate/parent). Keep the ordinary publication path; the residual matcher + gap needs a larger body boundary. +- Fusing the unsigned-word store's repeated eligibility probe gained only + 1.01798x against its Life reverse parent. Keep the clearer existing split; + the remaining Life cost requires a broader representation boundary. +- Reusing a non-retaining `for my $i (integer range)` iterator cell was + semantics-safe behind the existing conservative analyzer, but its stable + candidate/parent screens were effectively tied (0.66734x vs. 0.66785x Life + median; 1.01323x geometric-mean ratio). Keep the ordinary lexical range + iterator; seek a larger body-cost boundary. +- A whole-subroutine-proven private integer-array slot transfer preserved the + escaped-old-element fallback, but its complete seven-pair high-load + candidate/parent screen was 0.98764x geometric mean. Keep ordinary list + assignment; avoiding its temporary scalar copies did not repay the guarded + container handoff. +- Plain string-plus-integer concat regressed: 0.85675x geometric mean against + its exact parent. The retained typed paths are plain UTF-8 string plus plain + UTF-8 string, byte-string plus byte-string, and byte-string plus integer. +- Directly storing a two-argument `substr` snapshot into its void-context + scalar-assignment destination passed its focused JVM/interpreter coverage + and full gate, but the high-load three-pair selection screen was 0.98830x + against its exact parent. Keep the ordinary snapshot-and-store path. +- Naive array-element reuse or ordinary `@a = @b` destination-cell reuse is + semantically invalid when old elements are referenced. +- Broad call-frame/scalar pooling, ordinary matcher lifecycle removal, static + regex package-cache bypass, and range-topic reuse lack the required ownership + proof or were measured regressions. + +Detailed rejected-experiment artifacts remain in commit history and their +recorded `/tmp` benchmark paths, not in this handoff. + +## Required candidate workflow + +1. Rebuild the exact committed source with `timeout 1800 make`; do not mutate + the checkout until the gate and its children finish. +2. Profile a bounded representative workload and state the affected fraction, + guards, fallback, expected saving, and semantic proof boundary. +3.

Run JVM and interpreter coverage, then a clean immutable full `make` gate. +5. Measure candidate and exact parent with alternating fresh processes under + the same protocol. Retain only a material, repeatable gain. +6.

Its compact analysis measured a 0.139x portfolio +geometric mean (bootstrap 95% CI 0.097–0.192) and a 0.158x closure median; +these values are diagnostic only, not acceptance evidence. + +The seven closure JFR recordings nevertheless identify a qualifying general +call-boundary bottleneck: `RuntimeCode.apply` occurred in 15,771 of 15,956 +sampled execution stacks (98.8%). This exceeds the 10% anchor threshold by a +wide margin. The next implementation phase must consolidate the general call +boundary, not add a closure-only shortcut. + +A second full candidate was collected at source commit `e0db10de7` on +2026-09-08 on the same loaded reference host. It was protocol-compliant, +semantically matched, and contained seven fresh pairs for each workload, but +five engine/workload samples did not stabilize (one closure Perl sample and +four regex samples). Its explicit `--allow-noisy-host` analysis is therefore +**noisy-paired, not authoritative**; it establishes only a decisive negative +result. The portfolio geometric mean was 0.146x Perl (bootstrap 95% CI +0.103–0.199; upper bound below 1.00), and every individual workload interval +was below 1.00. This is sufficient to prioritize the identified call-boundary +bottleneck, but cannot satisfy the positive 1.05x acceptance gate. + +A third full candidate at source commit `f774d3b7c` finally produced the +required **stable authoritative baseline** on 2026-09-08.

Its leading +classes were `Object[]` (27.34%), `RuntimeScalar` (24.07%), `RuntimeList` +(9.02%), `ArrayList` (5.98%), and `RuntimeArray` (5.91%). This completes the +required async-profiler CPU/allocation evidence; all profile files and the +workload log were removed after compact extraction. + +The first Phase 3 candidate, commit `91b081e17`, centralized the two general +instance paths' direct invocation, scalar coercion, closure protection, and +diagnostic mark in `RuntimeCode.invokeCallable`. Its focused permanent +boundary-semantics test passed on Perl, JVM, and interpreter, and its exact +commit passed the complete `make` gate. A subsequent full default portfolio +was semantically successful but protocol-inconclusive on the loaded host: its +geometric mean was 0.147x Perl (bootstrap 95% CI 0.105–0.200), compared with +the 0.144x authoritative baseline. It is diagnostic evidence only and cannot +support an acceptance claim. + +Post-candidate async-profiler captures confirm that this safe consolidation +did not remove the dominant boundary. A 20-second unfiltered CPU capture +contained `RuntimeCode.apply` on 1,995 of 2,221 sampled stacks (89.82%). A +15-second allocation capture attributed 99.91% of its collapsed allocation +weight to stacks containing that method. The raw profiles and workload logs +were removed after extracting these compact figures. The next candidate must +reduce the frame/argument lifecycle structurally while retaining the covered +caller, warning, control-flow, context, and argument-alias semantics. + +A second Phase 3 candidate, commit `5402b099a`, moved the complete general +call-frame lifecycle into one private method with an explicit fresh-versus- +shared `@_` parameter. It added permanent coverage for exceptional boundary +unwind, including argument aliasing and restored frame stacks; the test passed +on Perl, JVM, and interpreter, and the exact commit passed `make`. Its complete +seven-pair portfolio was stable and authoritative but still failed acceptance: +0.1472x Perl (bootstrap 95% CI 0.104–0.200), with a 0.00924x minimum workload. +This is only a modest change from the 0.144x baseline and is not a passing +performance result. + +Post-candidate async-profiler again confirms that the general boundary remains +dominant: `RuntimeCode.apply` appeared on 1,984 of 2,125 closure CPU stacks +(93.36%) and 99.72% of the collapsed allocation weight in a separate +15-second capture. The full portfolio, analysis, CPU profile, allocation +profile, and workload logs were removed after compact extraction. Future work +must remove frame/argument lifecycle cost rather than only centralizing it; +if that structural redesign cannot materially reduce this attribution, advance +to primitive numeric specialization as the next larger phase. + +A follow-up general candidate made the active lexical-pad map and JVM closure +tracking collections lazy: ordinary calls retain their stack entries but avoid +allocating empty maps/lists unless they create a closure, return one, or expose +a live lexical. Its permanent boundary tests passed on Perl, JVM, and +interpreter, and a clean `make` gate passed. The completed seven-pair +portfolio on the routinely loaded host was protocol-inconclusive and nearly +flat (0.1481x Perl; bootstrap 95% CI 0.105–0.200; minimum 0.00976x), so this +is retained only as a safe allocation reduction, not evidence of a material +speedup. The temporary portfolio directory, log, and report were deleted. + +The next Phase 3 candidate, commit `c32d45d54`, made the pristine `@_` +snapshot copy-on-write. An active argument frame initially retains the live +argument array and snapshots only immediately before a mutation; the permanent +`runtime_code_pristine_args_cow.t` coverage verifies both entry-time +`@DB::args` values and its scalar-slot aliasing. The test passed on system +Perl, the JVM backend, and the interpreter, and the exact commit passed +`make`. A 49-recording JFR/diagnostic portfolio measured the closure named- +argument boundary at 1,432 ns/op inclusive, 567 ns/op exclusive, and 3,154 / +1,261 B/op inclusive/exclusive; it is attribution evidence only because JFR +perturbs timing. The corresponding default seven-pair portfolio was stable +and authoritative but still failed acceptance: 0.1457x Perl (bootstrap 95% CI +0.1036–0.1976), with a 0.00930x minimum workload. This nearly flat result +retains the change for its safe lazy-copy behavior, but it does not justify a +positive performance claim. All JFR recordings, portfolio directories, logs, +and reports were removed after compact extraction. + +The next Phase 3 candidate, commit `059614214`, replaced the unconditional +per-call `JvmClosureFrame` allocation with a shared stack sentinel, creating a +real frame only when a captured closure is made. This remains a general call +boundary change: it retains nesting, returned-closure protection, and capture +cleanup rather than adding a closure-only dispatch path. The permanent +returned-closure capture-lifetime regression passed on system Perl, JVM, and +interpreter, and the exact commit passed `make`. Its 49-recording JFR and +call-layer portfolio measured the closure named-argument boundary at 1,372 +ns/op inclusive, 543 ns/op exclusive, and 3,082 / 1,238 B/op +inclusive/exclusive (333 million operations); JFR timing is attribution only. +The non-JFR seven-pair portfolio was protocol-inconclusive on the loaded host, +with 0.1458x Perl (bootstrap 95% CI 0.1039–0.1973) and a 0.00954x minimum +workload. The small diagnostic change does not demonstrate the required +structural reduction, so it is retained only as a safe allocation improvement. +All profile recordings, portfolios, logs, and reports were removed after +compact extraction. + +### Completed Phases + +- [x] Phase 1: Benchmark authority (2026-09-08; stable authoritative + baseline recorded, decisively below the positive performance target) +- [x] Phase 2: Attribution report (2026-09-08; JFR, HotSpot, bytecode, and + async-profiler evidence qualify the general `RuntimeCode.apply` boundary) +- [x] Phase 3: Call-boundary redesign (2026-09-09; safe general-body + consolidation plus lazy argument, closure-frame, and foreach-alias reductions + were semantically sound but insufficient to meet any performance gate) +- [ ] Phase 4: Primitive numeric specialization (guarded lexical-integer flow + plus non-retaining integer-range topic reuse and recurrence target payloads + completed; primitive-local representation remains) +- [ ] Phase 5: Generated-code/JIT quality + +### JSON hot-parser JVM activation (completed 2026-09-10) + +`JSON::PP::_string` could not previously reach the generated JVM path. A +parser-label registration duplication left a dangling ASM branch target for +calls inside labeled loops, and dynamically allocated cleanup-level slots +merged a reference pre-initialization with an integer store. The emitter now +keeps one label target and stores cleanup levels as boxed `Integer` references +throughout their generated lifetime. The permanent labeled-loop and JSON +regressions pass system Perl, both PerlOnJava backends, and assert that the +relevant JVM code objects are compiled rather than `InterpretedCode`; the +exact-source `make` gate passed in 3m37s. + +A short, high-load one-pair JFR diagnostic increased JSON throughput to about +10,626 PerlOnJava operations/second versus 64,720 Perl operations/second +(about 0.164x). It is activation evidence only: warmup was unstable and the +nine-second capture was startup/compiler-heavy. It neither changes the +authoritative baseline nor proves a runtime micro-optimization. + +The completed post-warmup selection capture uses a 25-second dedicated warmup, +then a 40-second JFR recording. Its per-CV call diagnostics identify `_string` +as roughly 34 microseconds exclusive across five calls per decode, with +`_next_chr` occurring roughly 59 times at 584 ns / 1,096 B each. Those nested +figures are diagnostic under host contention, but `_string` alone consumes +roughly 23% of decode exclusive time. The next JSON candidate is therefore a +generic, conservatively proven zero-argument direct-leaf-call lowering—not a +JSON-specific shortcut. It must reject every helper that can observe `@_`, +`caller`, control flow, dynamic scope, eval, closure creation, or user calls, +and must have standard-Perl plus both-backend regression coverage before a +paired measurement. + +### Next Steps + +Apply the forward-only experiment policy below. Start by deriving the feasibility +budget from recorded evidence while repairing prototype correctness. +Do not defer closure, Life, and JSON attribution until the numeric optimizer +is finished. The numbered implementation steps are dependencies where stated, +not a requirement to exhaust numeric work before addressing other workloads. + +1. **Preserve activation evidence while extending the prototype.** The analyzer + now propagates loop context into direct loop bodies, and compiler/runtime + tests demonstrate one emitted and executed closed-lexical specialization. + Keep positive bytecode/execution assertions and negative unsupported-flow + assertions for every extension; do not mistake selection of the current + boxed helper for evidence of primitive-local code generation. +2. **Implement and measure a conservative direct-leaf call lowering.** Preserve + the new compiled-parser regressions and use the per-CV diagnostic only to + select candidates. A selected zero-argument helper must prove that `@_`, + `caller`, control flow, dynamic scope, eval, closure creation, and user + calls are unobservable; retain the generic call path for every other case. + Evaluate hot-eval promotion or interpreter dispatch redesign only for CVs + still proven interpreted; do not infer acceptance from bounded JFR smoke + measurements. +3. **Establish sound eligibility and fallback.** Resolve declarations by binding + identity, in statement order, with scoped dataflow and explicit invalidation + at calls, joins, escapes, closure capture, eval, localization, and unknown AST + forms. Traverse argument lists and branches; reject ties, magic, debugger + exposure, and aliases unless explicitly supported. Reanalysis must clear + stale annotations. The current name-based set and partial escape traversal + are insufficient proof of an unaliased lexical. + Restrict native payloads explicitly to supported signed representations: + `BigInteger` is a `Number`, so the current guard permits truncation through + `getLong()`. Preserve Perl's divisor-sign remainder, checked overflow, + unsigned IV, `Math::BigInt`, taint, lexical warnings, and `use integer` + operator selection. Preserve assignment evaluation order and scalar-cell + effects (including pos invalidation, observers, and returned lvalues); + `set(long)` is not automatically equivalent to `set(RuntimeScalar)`. + Add permanent compiler/runtime and Perl-level coverage for each condition; + validate the Perl oracle first, demonstrate regressions on the unfixed + parent, and require both backends plus `make` on the corrected commit. +4. **Implement actual primitive flows.** Once steps 1 and 3 pass, retain proven + integers in JVM primitive locals across nested arithmetic expressions and + loop iterations, boxing at observable boundaries. The current helper still + loads boxed operands and stores a boxed numeric payload each assignment. + Start with a closed lexical kernel; then separately prove safe reads of the + foreach iterator, global accesses, and unsigned word operations needed by + the unchanged numeric and Life workloads. Require bytecode and allocation + evidence that the intended hot loop benefits, including bailout reentry + without replaying side effects. Do not rewrite scored workloads to fit the + optimizer. +5. **Resume the closure objective in issue #1196.** Phase 3 evaluated general + boundary reductions but did not solve call overhead. Reuse the completed + exclusive/inclusive CPU and allocation attribution, then analyze safe + zero-argument captured-lexical calls and simple scalar returns. Use guarded + callee identity and capability checks for direct invocation, avoiding + argument/result containers and repeated warning setup where proven safe. + Preserve or decline `@_`, caller/context inspection, dynamic warnings and + hints, eval, debugger hooks, overload/ties, non-local exits, capture lifetime, + redefinition, and returned lvalues. Add activation, fallback, and parity + tests before comparing the closure anchor and original issue reproducer. +6. **Close the whole-portfolio gap.** Numeric specialization cannot by itself + satisfy the acceptance contract. At the last recorded full candidate, the + 0.90x floor requires roughly 88x improvement for JSON (0.0102x), 5.6x for + closure (0.1594x), 5.4x for method, 4.8x for regex, 3.1x for string, 2.7x for + numeric, and 2.4x for Life. These are planning ratios, not predictions. + Attribute JSON::PP first alongside the two issue anchors; measure how much + shared call/scalar improvements recover, then address residual method, + string, and regex costs. For Phase 5 inspect generated method size, inlining, + deoptimization, and allocation elimination on the actual hot paths. Keep + each optimization tied to measured cost rather than assuming one technique + will solve all workloads. +7. **Measure candidates and close against the original contract.** Freeze a + source commit and matching JAR after all workers finish. Compare parent and + candidate with the same pinned Perl/JDK, host, checksums, and flags; record + activation counts and hashes with compact results. Two-pair diagnostics are + exploratory and cannot establish acceptance or a regression against an + unrelated historical run. After semantic and focused cost-reduction gates + pass, run the complete default seven-pair/seven-workload non-JFR portfolio + and a separate 49-recording JFR/call-layer attribution run, with the required + async-profiler and JIT evidence. Retain compact tracked summaries before + removing raw artifacts. Recheck the original closure and Life reproductions + under controlled conditions as companion evidence. Completion requires + portfolio and closure/Life anchor geometric means at least 1.05x Perl, + their 95% intervals wholly above 1.00x, every workload at least 0.90x, and + unchanged semantics on both backends. Update the design, changelog, and PR + with exact-commit evidence; issue #1196 remains open until its objective is + demonstrated. + +### Feasibility gate and performance budgets + +Before committing to a larger optimization, produce a tracked budget for each +scored workload using the completed baseline and candidate summaries below. +Do not rerun baseline collection to begin this work. The following historical +ratios illustrate the size of the problem; they are not current measurements +or promised speedups. Speedup required is target ratio divided by current ratio; +time reduction required is one minus current ratio divided by target ratio. + +| Workload | Recorded ratio to Perl | Minimum target | Required speedup | Required time reduction | +| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | +| Closure | 0.1594x | 1.05x | 6.59x | 84.8% | +| Life | 0.3815x | 1.05x | 2.75x | 63.7% | +| Numeric | 0.3350x | 0.90x | 2.69x | 62.8% | +| Method | 0.1665x | 0.90x | 5.41x | 81.5% | +| String | 0.2911x | 0.90x | 3.09x | 67.7% | +| Regex | 0.1870x | 0.90x | 4.81x | 79.2% | +| JSON | 0.0102x | 0.90x | 88.24x | 98.9% | + +Assign per-workload throughput budgets that also produce a portfolio geometric +mean of at least 1.05x. The table gives necessary individual thresholds only; +their geometric mean would still miss acceptance. Budget additional headroom +for measurement uncertainty and guards/fallbacks, without treating an estimate +as a confidence interval. + +For every proposed optimization, record baseline time per operation, the +non-overlapping fraction of elapsed time it can affect, expected residual +cost, guard hit rate, fallback cost, allocation/GC impact, and measured result. +Use Amdahl's relation as a screening bound: if fraction `f` of time is improved +by factor `s`, overall speedup is `1 / ((1 - f) + f / s)`. Even eliminating +that fraction entirely gives only `1 / (1 - f)`. For example, removing 11% of +closure time can yield at most about 1.12x improvement, far short of the +required 6.59x. Inclusive stack occurrence is not an exclusive elapsed-time +fraction; do not substitute sampled frame presence or allocation weight for +`f`, double-count overlapping costs, or multiply gains measured against the +same parent. Profile a new structural candidate only to answer a remaining +question about its changed costs or JIT behavior, under the forward-only policy. + +Use three bounded feasibility workstreams, reusing all completed attribution. +Each new experiment must test an implemented change or a previously unanswered +question, with a controlled comparison and explicit go/no-go result: + +1. **Closure:** measure the removable call/argument/result machinery on the + actual captured-lexical anchor. Demonstrate guarded direct invocation and + scalar returns with enough coverage to approach its time budget. If the + residual generic machinery already exceeds the budget, redesign that + boundary before adding more small allocation reductions. +2. **Life/numeric:** demonstrate primitive values surviving the real hot loop, + including unsigned word operations and the relevant iterator/storage + accesses. Measure remaining scalar, container, and call costs. A fast + isolated arithmetic expression does not qualify if the scored loop never + selects it or still spends most of its time outside it. +3. **JSON:** explain the roughly 88x floor gap early. Check backend/fallback + execution, generated code/JIT behavior, calls, strings, regexes, containers, + and allocation against the same JSON::PP workload and input. Identify a + combination of general compiler/runtime improvements whose residual time + can fit the budget. Do not replace JSON::PP or recognize benchmark-specific + source patterns to satisfy the score. If call/numeric specialization cannot + account for the gap, add a separate architectural workstream before claiming + the portfolio has a credible completion path. + +After each experiment, update the budget with measured residual costs. Advance +to wider implementation when activation and semantic gates pass and the +evidence supports reaching the remaining budget. If an optimistic bound still +misses the target, revise the architecture or investigate another dominant +cost; do not repeat full portfolios on a structurally insufficient candidate. +Diagnostic ablations may estimate removable overhead but cannot validate +production semantics or count as acceptance results. + +The immediate deliverable is the corrected activation/semantic test set plus +a feasibility report for closure, Life, and JSON, with a concrete next change +and quantified remaining gap for each. If no viable path emerges, report that +the objective remains unmet and identify the measured limiting cost. Do not +weaken thresholds, remove slow workloads, or mark issue #1196 complete merely +because the listed implementation phases were finished. + +### Forward-only experiment policy + +Completed experiments are closed. Missing raw artifacts are intentional and +are not a reason to recreate them. Read the compact evidence in this document +before planning any run; use its conclusions as inputs to the next change. +Do not re-establish known call-boundary dominance, rerun rejected Phase 3 +candidates, or collect another baseline-only portfolio. Preserve evidence +quality labels: historical results support prioritization, not a controlled +claim about a new candidate. + +| Completed work | Evidence to reuse | Next action enabled | +| --- | --- | --- | +| Benchmark protocol and baseline collection | `3b2da750b` and `e0db10de7` instability/noisy-host evidence; stable `f774d3b7c` baseline at 0.144x | Use the established protocol and baseline; do not rediscover host-noise behavior | +| Phase 2 attribution | `5b5b69569` JFR; completed async-profiler CPU/allocation, HotSpot compilation, and generated-bytecode analysis | Design removal of measured call/scalar machinery | +| General call-boundary consolidation | `91b081e17`, `5402b099a`, and their portfolio/profile summaries | Centralization alone is insufficient; change the representation or invocation path | +| Lazy pad/closure tracking and argument snapshots | Recorded lazy-map candidate and `c32d45d54`, including its 49-recording diagnostic portfolio | Reuse semantic coverage; do not repeat lazy-allocation variants already evaluated | +| Lazy closure-frame sentinel | `059614214` portfolio and 49-recording call-layer/JFR diagnostics | Small frame-allocation savings do not close the gap | +| Foreach scalar-alias bookkeeping | `b5300e777` full portfolio and 49-recording diagnostics | Use the recorded workload ratios and residual costs to budget the next structural change | +| Initial numeric prototype smoke measurements | Completed one-pair run and two-pair 0.3305x result; prototype activation remains unproven | Fix and prove activation/semantics before any further numeric timing | + +Before launching a new experiment, record in this design document: + +1. The new hypothesis and the source change or previously unanswered question. +2. Which completed result it builds on, and why that result cannot answer the + new question. +3. The smallest required run, expected observable change, and decision rule. +4. After completion, the exact source/JAR identity, compact result, conclusion, + and next implementation action. Mark the experiment closed before cleanup. + +New correctness tests, activation/bytecode checks, and required validation of +changed code are forward progress. A parent control run is permitted only as +part of measuring a genuinely new candidate when a contemporaneous comparison +is necessary; do not restart the historical experiment sequence. Full default +portfolios and separate 49-recording attribution runs are reserved for new +candidates that pass the documented semantic and focused improvement gates. +Do not launch them solely because a new session or developer takes over. + +The next execution order is: prove and repair numeric activation and semantic +gaps; derive closure/Life/JSON budgets from existing summaries; implement the +next structural candidate or investigate a specific uncovered residual cost; +then collect only the new evidence needed to decide whether it advances. + +### Phase 4 initial-slice evidence (2026-09-09) + +An initial guarded code-generation prototype is present in +`NumericFlowAnalyzer`, `EmitBlock`, `EmitVariable`, and +`NumericFlowOperators`. Its intended scope is a `my` scalar initialized from an +integer literal and a direct, single binary `+`, `-`, `*`, or `%` reassignment +inside a `for` loop. The helper attempts to avoid an intermediate +`RuntimeScalar`, but activation and fallback correctness have not been proven. +Review identified the loop-body traversal and semantic gaps listed in Next +Steps. Treat this as unfinished work, not a validated primitive representation. +Bitwise operations remain on the existing operator path. + +`primitive_numeric_flow.t` checks results for a closed lexical loop, overload, +reference alias visibility, and overflow. Prior runs reported success on system +Perl, JVM, interpreter, and `make`; these results do not prove execution of the +specialization or its fallback. A temporary +two-pair numeric-only diagnostic was semantically conclusive but deliberately +protocol-inconclusive; it measured 0.3305x Perl. The historical 0.3350x result +is not a controlled parent comparison, so this difference proves neither an +improvement nor a regression. Its temporary +portfolio, analysis, and logs were removed. Do not run the full portfolio or +49-recording JFR suite for this slice. + +The next Phase 4 increment must prove activation and fix the identified semantic +gaps before extending the analyzer. The portfolio numeric kernel cannot enter this slice yet: +its expression is nested and includes the implicitly aliased `$_` loop value. + +### Phase 4 activation repair (2026-09-09) + +The first-slice analyzer had a concrete activation defect: it recursively +analyzed a `for` body as an ordinary block, so body assignments always received +`insideLoop = false` and could never select the annotated JVM emission path. +`NumericFlowAnalyzer` now preserves loop context while analyzing loop and +`continue` blocks. A permanent compiler-level test constructs a closed lexical +loop and asserts that its direct addition is annotated; it also asserts that a +prior scalar reference suppresses the annotation. The positive test fails on +the immediately preceding prototype because its body assignment was never +annotated. + +The runtime guard now accepts only `Integer` and `Long` payloads. `BigInteger` +is also represented as `RuntimeScalarType.INTEGER`, but using `getLong()` on it +would truncate; wide values therefore take the ordinary `MathOperators` path. +The existing Perl-level overflow, overload, and reference-alias tests passed +on system Perl, the JVM backend, and the interpreter. The repaired working +tree passed `make` (2026-09-09, 3m27s), including both compiler-level +activation/fallback tests. A bounded `--disassemble` compilation of the +Perl-level test emitted one `NumericFlowOperators.assignAdd` invocation for +the closed-loop positive case; its successful JVM execution is therefore also +an execution check of the selected path. This is an activation/correctness +gate only: the helper still boxes operands and writes a boxed payload, so it +is not allocation or bytecode evidence for primitive locals. + +Feasibility remains unchanged by this repair. Recorded budgets require at +least 6.59x for Closure, 2.75x for Life, and 88.24x for JSON just to meet their +individual 1.05x/0.90x thresholds. The completed call-boundary evidence +establishes that small numeric allocation reductions cannot fund Closure or +JSON; the next bounded work must separately attribute Life's word kernel and +JSON::PP residuals while the numeric work proves a true unboxed closed lexical +flow. No portfolio or JFR attribution run is warranted for this activation-only +candidate. + +### Numeric workload attribution (2026-09-09) + +A fresh one-pair JFR diagnostic of the unchanged scored numeric workload +confirms that the activation-only helper does not select its hot recurrence. +The workload uses a `For1Node` range loop, nested `*`/`+`/`%` arithmetic, the +implicitly aliased `$_`, and a global update; all are outside the helper's +closed, single-binary-expression lexical scope. Allocation samples are rooted +in `MathOperators.multiplyWarnNoTaint`, `addWarnNoTaint`, and +`modulusWarnNoTaint`, each creating boxed result scalars. The same capture also +samples `PerlRange.toList` through `setArrayOfAlias`: every `for (1 .. 2048)` +execution materializes aliasable range cells before its body begins. + +This is structural attribution only: the host was contended and the portfolio +artifact is not protocol-compliant for throughput acceptance. A direct range +loop must not be introduced merely to avoid materialization, because `$_` is +an observable alias that can escape through references, calls, closures, +localization, or control-flow paths. The next implementation must first prove +a restricted non-escaping topic contract and preserve the ordinary fallback; +the larger requirement remains a true unboxed expression flow, not another +boxed helper. + +### Streamed implicit-topic ranges (completed 2026-09-09) + +Implicit-topic `for (RANGE)` loops used the generic foreach alias hook, which +materialized the complete range into a temporary alias array. `PerlRange` now +returns its existing iterator from that hook. Each value is still a fresh +scalar and the loop continues to bind `$_` as an alias; only eager +materialization is removed. + +The new numeric/string-range and retained-reference regression passed under +system Perl, and the full `make` gate passed in 5m46s. A one-pair numeric JFR +capture contains no `PerlRange.toList` or `setArrayOfAlias` stack; range +scalars are now allocated only by the iterator as values are consumed. +Arithmetic result cells remain dominant, and the host-contended capture is not +throughput acceptance evidence. + +### Guarded nested numeric fusion (completed 2026-09-09) + +The JVM backend now recognizes a closed-lexical assignment shaped as +`($a * $b + $c) % $d` in a loop and emits one guarded runtime operation. When +all operands are untainted fixed-width integers, it computes the multiply, +add, and modulus in primitive `long` temporaries and writes the target once. +Overflow, zero divisors, wide integers, taint, overload, and all unsupported +shapes execute the existing `MathOperators` chain unchanged. The implicit +topic is admitted only as a runtime-guarded operand; it does not establish a +primitive lexical representation. + +The nested recurrence regression passed on system Perl, JVM, and interpreter +backends. The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 6m25s. Compiler debug +output for the benchmark shape now includes +`primitiveMultiplyAddModulusAssignment: true`, and its one-pair JFR capture +contains 145 allocation samples through +`NumericFlowOperators.assignMultiplyAddModulus` with no sampled +`MathOperators.multiplyWarnNoTaint` frame. This confirms selection and +replacement of the generic multiply path, but the capture ran under severe +host contention (load averages 29.77/52.84/60.23). It remains allocation and +activation evidence only; an uncontended multi-pair portfolio run is required +before making a throughput claim. + +### JSON feasibility experiment (planned 2026-09-09) + +Hypothesis: the JSON::PP workload's 88.24x floor gap is primarily in generic +Perl call/scalar/container machinery rather than JSON text itself. The completed +closure recordings cannot answer that question because JSON has substantially +different method, hash, array, and string behavior. Run one fresh +Perl/PerlOnJava JSON pair with ten one-second warmup windows, fifteen one-second +measurement windows, JFR, and call-layer diagnostics. The expected observable +is a compact breakdown of JVM execution/allocation and general call-layer cost; +it is protocol-inconclusive by design and cannot establish a performance claim. +If call-layer-exclusive cost cannot plausibly explain most of the 98.9% required +time reduction, reject further call-boundary micro-optimizations for JSON and +investigate its highest non-call allocation/CPU path next. + +### JSON feasibility experiment (completed 2026-09-09) + +The fresh one-pair JFR/call-layer run at source `0f66116af` was deliberately +protocol-inconclusive. Its PerlOnJava median was 724.5 operations/s versus +67,002.9 for Perl. The recording had 1,616 execution samples; 757 (46.8%) had +`ErrorMessageUtil.extractSourceLines` as their top frame, reached through +`InterpretedCode.withCapturedVars` while interpreter closures were created. +This answered the planned question: a generic closure-copy representation cost, +not JSON text handling, was a qualifying target. + +Candidate `1ba3b14ff` caches the immutable token-derived source lines and +invalidates them only when source filtering replaces tokens. Its focused cache +invalidation test and exact `make` gate passed. The same one-pair JFR diagnostic +recorded a 2,548.9 operations/s median and only 3 of 700 execution samples in +`extractSourceLines`; the artifact also recorded 7,476 allocation samples and +106 young collections. The preceding recording had 7,629 allocation samples +and 83 young collections. These JFR timings and allocation-sample counts are +attribution evidence, not a controlled performance claim, but the disappearance +of the sampled hotspot confirms the representation change took effect. + +This candidate does not close JSON's 88.24x minimum gap or establish a +portfolio improvement. The call-layer diagnostics still show large inclusive +costs in shared-argument instance calls, so the next JSON experiment must +attribute the remaining non-closure body/collection costs with a profiler that +does not include JFR timing perturbation. The two temporary recording +directories and expanded reports were removed after extracting this summary. + +### JSON string-offset fast path (rejected 2026-09-09) + +The post-cache async-profiler CPU sample identified +`PerlUtfString.scanOffsetByPerlCodePoints` (12.85%) and +`scanCodePointCountPerl` (3.53%) as residual JSON costs. A bounded +marker-free-string candidate replaced their manual scans with +`String.offsetByCodePoints` and `String.codePointCount`, retaining the +marker-aware scanner and clamping semantics as fallbacks. The exact `make` +gate passed, but the CPU profile replaced the scanner frames with +`Character.offsetByCodePoints` at 21.15% CPU. The candidate was therefore +reverted in `fa056834e`; no performance claim is retained. + +Do not retry this through Java's generic code-point helper. The next bounded +JSON experiment should instead attribute a residual with a demonstrably lower +per-operation implementation cost, beginning with repeated closure metadata +setup such as `InterpretedCode.scanMyVarRegisters` (3.01% in the same profile), +or a specialized logical-index representation that preserves Perl's U+FFFD +marker semantics. + +### JSON boundary-only scanner experiment (rejected 2026-09-09) + +A second string experiment kept the existing manual traversal but avoided +constructing `PerlStep` records when callers need only the next UTF-16 +boundary. It preserved ordinary, supplementary, and U+FFFD-marker boundaries; +the focused test and a retry of the full `make` gate passed (the initial gate's +parallel Gradle result files vanished after the focused test had passed). + +The supervised 15-second async-profiler recording nevertheless rejected the +implementation: `scanOffsetByPerlCodePoints` was 16.53% and +`scanCodePointCountPerl` 9.96% of 1,597 samples, both higher than the prior +attribution sample. The run completed with the expected semantic checksum but +was not throughput-stable, so this is diagnostic rather than a score claim. +The uncommitted implementation was removed. Future string work needs a +different representation or a call-site algorithm change; do not retry either +generic Java code-point helpers or a standalone boundary-only helper. + +### JSON closure metadata cache (completed 2026-09-09) + +`InterpretedCode.withCapturedVars` creates a closure instance over an unchanged +bytecode array, but previously rescanned that entire array to rediscover scope +cleanup registers. Closure copies now clone the template's already-computed +`myVarRegisters` metadata instead. A focused unit test verifies that the copy +retains the cleanup register and remains independently mutable. The full +`make` gate passed in 4m37s. + +The matching 15-second async-profiler CPU sample collected 1,634 samples: +`scanMyVarRegisters`, previously 3.01%, no longer appeared in the report's hot +frames. The run completed with the expected semantic checksum, but competing +machine load changed its throughput during later windows; it is therefore +attribution evidence only, not a portfolio or acceptance result. Retain the +safe metadata cache and next investigate the still-dominant manual logical +string-offset scan (14.20% in this profile) with a Perl-semantics-preserving +specialization rather than the rejected generic Java helper. + +### JSON positive substr-alias refresh (completed 2026-09-09) + +Collapsed stacks traced the remaining logical offset scans through +`RuntimeScalar.refreshSubstrLvalues` and +`RuntimeSubstrLvalue.currentSubstring`. For the common positive-offset, +nonnegative-length alias, refresh previously counted the whole parent before +walking the requested two boundaries. The two existing boundary walks already +clamp to end-of-string, so refresh now omits that redundant count. Focused +tests cover parent mutation and an oversized positive offset; the full `make` +gate passed in 5m16s. + +The supervised 15-second async-profiler CPU sample completed with the expected +semantic checksum. In 1,600 samples `scanCodePointCountPerl` no longer +appeared among hot frames and `scanOffsetByPerlCodePoints` was 9.62%, compared +with 16.53%/9.96% for the immediately preceding rejected boundary-helper +experiment. The unstable benchmark throughput makes this attribution evidence, +not a portfolio claim, but retain the semantically narrow traversal reduction. + +### JSON deferred string-append headroom (completed 2026-09-09) + +`RuntimeScalar` retains a `StringBuilder` across repeated `.=`, but its first +append previously used Java's small default growth headroom. New deferred +builders now reserve 64 characters (or the known first suffix length) while +preserving normal later growth and transfer into compound-assignment results. +Focused tests cover direct materialization and transfer; the full `make` gate +passed in 5m50s. + +The supervised 15-second CPU profile completed with the expected semantic +checksum. In 1,598 samples `AbstractStringBuilder.ensureCapacityInternal` was +9.01%, down from 11.81% in the preceding retained substring-refresh profile. +This is attribution evidence under an unstable benchmark environment, not a +portfolio score claim; retain the bounded general allocation reduction. + +### JSON live substr slice cache (completed 2026-09-09) + +Collapsed JSON stacks attributed nearly all sampled `String.substring` work to +`RuntimeSubstrLvalue.currentSubstring`. A live alias now caches its computed +slice only for the exact immutable parent `String`; parent replacement causes a +fresh slice, while refresh and later reads share the same cached text. Focused +tests cover mutation, end clamping, and same-parent reuse. The full `make` gate +passed in 5m18s. + +The supervised 15-second CPU profile completed with the expected semantic +checksum. Across 1,702 samples `String.substring` fell to 2.82%, from 11.14% +in the preceding headroom profile. This is attribution evidence rather than a +controlled portfolio score, but retain the cache because it eliminates repeated +allocation on an existing live-alias representation. + +### Cumulative diagnostic portfolio (2026-09-09) + +After the retained JSON source-line, closure-metadata, live-substr, and +deferred-append changes, one alternating fresh-process pair with ten fixed +warmup windows and fifteen measurement windows completed successfully. It is +explicitly non-conclusive (one pair and fixed warmup), but provides the first +current end-to-end signal: Closure 0.1611x, Method 0.1625x, Numeric 0.3481x, +String 0.3011x, Regex 0.1890x, Life 0.3790x, and JSON 0.0339x Perl. JSON is +about 3.3x the older 0.0102x portfolio result, yet still needs roughly 26.5x +to meet its 0.90x necessary floor. No acceptance threshold has been met. + +The next work must be structural: the current collapsed JSON profile puts +generic `RuntimeCode.call` below the interpreter loop far ahead of the +remaining leaf operations. Continue profiling/generalizing call and closure +representation only with permanent semantic coverage; do not treat another +string micro-optimization as a plausible route to the remaining JSON gap. + +### Current JSON call-boundary attribution (2026-09-09) + +A fresh 15-second collapsed-stack recording after the retained string changes +confirmed that `RuntimeCode.call` is the largest named interpreter descendant +(595 sampled stack units), with closure creation next (335). The native +argument path already inserts ordinary `RuntimeScalar` arguments directly as +aliases; its unavoidable per-call allocation is the `RuntimeArray`/`@_` frame +and the associated caller, pristine-argument, lexical, and cleanup state. +Those features are observable through aliasing, `caller`, `@DB::args`, tail +calls, weak captures, and non-local returns. Therefore the next candidate must +redesign or specialize a complete call-frame representation with permanent +coverage for those semantics, rather than deleting an individual frame step. + +### JSON copy-on-write argument-frame stack (completed 2026-09-09) + +`PristineArgsFrame` was an unconditional wrapper allocation for every +subroutine entry, even though its `@DB::args` copy is correctly deferred until +`@_` mutates. The execution state now keeps parallel reusable lists of the +active argument arrays and their optional copy-on-write snapshots. It retains +the former LIFO ordering, shared-`@_` handling, original-argument lookup, and +per-frame snapshot timing while removing the wrapper allocation from ordinary +calls. The existing `runtime_code_pristine_args_cow.t` coverage exercises the +observable mutation contract; the full `make` gate passed in 3m46s. + +One fresh JFR-backed JSON pair is diagnostic only, but confirms the intended +allocation change: no `PristineArgsFrame` allocation sample remains. Its JSON +median was 2,487.9 operations/s (0.0374x Perl) versus 2,451.8 operations/s +(0.0365x) in the immediately preceding same-shaped recording. JFR allocation +samples fell only slightly (11,950 versus 11,703) because `RuntimeArray` and +its backing list remain the much larger call-boundary allocation. Retain this +semantic-preserving reduction; investigate a safe fresh-argument representation +next, not eager removal of caller-compatible state. + +### Recycled recursion-depth state (completed 2026-09-09) + +JFR allocation samples also identified `ExecutionRuntimeState.CallDepthState` +as churn from normal calls. That state exists only to maintain per-runtime +depth and one-warning-per-chain behavior for deep recursion. The runtime now +recycles a released state after removing its code key, while retaining distinct +objects for concurrently active code entries. A focused Java test verifies both +properties; the full `make` gate passed in 4m40s. + +The matching JFR-backed JSON diagnostic contained no `CallDepthState` +allocation samples, confirming that the pooled steady state takes effect. Its +0.0285x JSON result is not comparable to the preceding recording because the +host was heavily CPU-contended; retain it only as allocation attribution. The +next structural target remains the necessary `RuntimeArray` argument frame and +its backing storage, which dominate remaining call-boundary allocation. + +### Caller-warning single-source fast path (completed 2026-09-09) + +Every normal call records the caller's disabled-warning categories for +`caller()`. When exactly one lexical source was active, the runtime still +allocated a transient `LinkedHashSet` union before the existing snapshot step. +It now passes that one source directly and constructs a union only when both +sources contribute. This preserves the snapshot taken by `pushCallerBits`. +The full `make` gate passed in 4m49s. + +The matching JFR-backed JSON diagnostic has no allocation sample rooted at +`RuntimeCode.callerDisabledWarningCategories`; its 0.0328x JSON result is an +allocation-attribution signal only, not an acceptance measurement. Retain the +fast path, while treating fresh argument-array storage and interpreter dispatch +as the remaining structural costs. + +### Scalar-context substr proxy elimination (rejected 2026-09-09) + +JSON profiling showed that `JSON::PP`'s many ordinary `substr` reads create +live `RuntimeSubstrLvalue` observers, whose eager parent refresh dominates the +remaining leaf samples. An attempted scalar-context fast path returned plain +scalars rather than registering a proxy. The full gate rejected it: lvalue +escape, taint, nested/live-alias, and `\substr` reference tests failed. In +this runtime, scalar evaluation context alone is not sufficient to prove that +a `substr` result cannot later be observed as an lvalue. + +The stronger follow-up also forced direct `\\substr(...)` operands into lvalue +context on both backends, but the full gate still failed in concat assignment, +regex-eval taint, live-extent, magical-parent, taint-mode, and tied-handle +coverage. Therefore neither direct-reference handling nor call context is a +complete escape analysis; retain the proxy until a dataflow representation can +prove the result cannot cross one of those boundaries. + +The restored-baseline JSON JFR diagnostic after this rejection recorded 1,250 +`refreshFromParent` samples, 918 logical-offset scans, and 427 +`ArrayList.removeIf` samples in observer cleanup; call dispatch was only about +70 samples. This makes lvalue-representation dataflow the next qualifying +target, but these sampling counts are attribution evidence only, not a +throughput score. + +The uncommitted candidate was removed. Any future reduction must carry an +explicit non-escaping rvalue representation from parsing/code generation, or +redesign proxy reads so invalidation is lazy without exposing stale direct +scalar state. Do not retry a context-only operator shortcut. + +A later standard-Perl probe also confirmed that assigning an ordinary +three-argument `substr` result to a lexical stores a snapshot: subsequent +parent replacement is not visible through string, numeric, or boolean reads. +That result rules out treating the existing universally-live proxy as the +semantic model for deferred refresh. Any pull-based observer design must first +separate ordinary rvalue `substr` at code generation from references and other +lvalue-observing forms. + +### ASCII logical-offset scanner shortcut (rejected 2026-09-09) + +The remaining JSON JFR samples were dominated by +`PerlUtfString.scanOffsetByPerlCodePoints`. An ASCII-only loop was tried ahead +of the existing general logical-character reader, with a fallback at the first +non-ASCII character. Differential Perl coverage included ASCII clamping plus +Unicode scalars after an ASCII prefix, and the full `make` gate passed in +3m48s. Both execution backends also passed the focused test. + +The post-change one-pair JFR portfolio nevertheless regressed JSON median +throughput to 1,866.8 operations/s, from 2,090.7 in the immediately preceding +same-shaped capture. The scanner was still the leading sampled frame (1,402 +samples). HotSpot already optimizes the original reader path more effectively +than the extra manual ASCII branch, so the experiment was removed. Do not +retry this shape without a controlled multi-pair score or a representation that +proves ASCII for the whole source string. + +### Direct-assignment substr snapshots (completed 2026-09-09) + +The first sound rvalue slice is a direct scalar-assignment RHS only. Both +backends now pass an internal snapshot context only when the RHS node itself is +`substr`; calls, references, list assignment, compound assignment, loops, and +runtime context continue to construct the live proxy. The snapshot preserves +the source byte-string kind and taint provenance. A focused test passed under +system Perl with `-T`, and the full `make` gate passed in 3m50s. + +This establishes semantic coverage, not a portfolio score. Profile the JSON +workload before expanding the dataflow boundary; do not generalize it from +scalar context or an indirect expression. + +The follow-up one-pair JSON JFR diagnostic was host-contended and therefore +not a score, but it did not show the expected structural reduction: it recorded +1,611 `refreshFromParent` samples and 926 logical-offset scans, versus 1,250 +and 918 in the preceding baseline capture. Retain the correct snapshot +semantics, but do not expand this direct-assignment slice as a JSON optimization; +the hot calls predominantly feed other immediate consumers. + +### Direct-comparison substr snapshots (completed 2026-09-09) + +Direct `substr` operands of numeric and string comparisons now use the same +metadata-preserving snapshot context on both backends. This is limited to the +dedicated comparison emitters; regex binding, calls, lists, aliases, and every +indirect expression retain a live proxy. The focused standard-Perl comparison +test passed, and the full `make` gate passed in 4m04s. Measure this slice before +claiming any JSON reduction. + +The one-pair JFR diagnostic is attribution-only, but the structural result is +positive: logical-offset scans fell from 918 to 548 samples and +`refreshFromParent` from 1,250 to 1,145. Its 2,345.3 operations/s result is not +comparable to the prior captures under host variation. Retain this constrained +slice and investigate the remaining proxy creation/refresh callers rather than +generalizing from comparison context. + +### JSON closure deparse-source reuse (completed 2026-09-09) + +An `InterpretedCode` closure copy inherits its bytecode and source metadata, +but its private constructor nevertheless rebuilt the immutable deparse source +text from `ErrorMessageUtil` before `withCapturedVars` replaced that value with +the template's copy. Closure construction now explicitly inherits the existing +text, including an intentionally absent value when it exceeded the deparse +limit. Focused Java tests verify both object identity and absent-text reuse; +the full `make` gates passed in 3m42s for the initial form and 3m37s for the +corrected absent-text form. + +A fresh one-pair JFR-backed JSON diagnostic of the corrected form reduced +`sourceTextFromErrorUtil` from 144 sampled frames to one, confirming that even +absent deparse metadata is now inherited rather than rebuilt. Its 1,998.6 +operations/s (0.0294x Perl) is lower than the preceding 2,519.5 operations/s +same-shaped diagnostic, so it is attribution-only host-noise data rather than a +performance score. Retain the eliminated redundant reconstruction and continue +with a structural call-frame or interpreter-dispatch target. + +### Foreach alias runtime-state reuse (completed 2026-09-09) + +The retained range-backed implicit-`$_` foreach fast path previously resolved +the current runtime three times per iteration through global-map facades. It +now obtains that runtime state once and updates the same two state-owned maps +directly. This leaves the pre-existing slow path intact for reference aliases, +localization, and all first-installation bookkeeping. Focused implicit-foreach +coverage passed on both JVM and interpreter backends, and the full `make` gate +passed in 5m51s. + +One fresh numeric JFR pair is attribution evidence only on the contended host. +It reduced `ThreadLocalMap.getEntry` samples from 1,589 to 1,546 and +`getGlobalVariable` samples from 308 to 298. Its relative median rose from +about 0.342x to 0.348x Perl; retain the small safe reduction, but do not treat +it as a scored acceptance result or a route to the remaining 1x gap. + +### Empty pos-cache invalidation guard (completed 2026-09-09) + +Every scalar assignment invalidates its `pos()` state, but the common runtime +has no position entries at all. `RuntimePosLvalue.invalidatePos` now resolves +the runtime once and returns before scalar indirection or map lookup when that +per-runtime cache is empty. A populated cache retains the prior canonical +storage lookup and in-place lvalue reset. The full `make` gate passed in 3m59s, +and the focused 22-case `pos`/`\\G` test passed on both JVM and interpreter +backends. + +The following one-pair numeric JFR capture is diagnostic only. It reduced +`ThreadLocalMap.getEntry` samples from 1,546 to 1,434 and `HashMap.getNode` +samples from 85 to 22. The contended relative median rose from about 0.348x to +0.374x Perl. Retain this general scalar-write reduction, while requiring a +controlled multi-pair portfolio before assigning it an acceptance score. + +### Plain numeric scalar-copy shortcut (rejected 2026-09-09) + +An exact-`RuntimeScalar`, non-string, non-reference branch was tried ahead of +general growing-string transfer preparation in `RuntimeScalar.set`. The full +gate and focused JVM/interpreter numeric recurrence coverage passed, and JFR +reduced sampled `RuntimeScalar.set` frames from 186 to 55. Its one-pair numeric +median nevertheless fell from about 0.374x to 0.368x Perl while +`ThreadLocalMap.getEntry` samples increased. The candidate was removed; do not +retry a duplicated plain-copy branch without a controlled multi-pair result or +a specialization that eliminates a larger operation than the preparatory +branches. + +### Compile-time no-taint arithmetic dispatch (completed 2026-09-09) + +The numeric profile showed that ordinary arithmetic spent most of its sampled +runtime lookups checking a taint mode which is fixed by the compiler options. +JVM emission now selects no-taint variants of `+`, `*`, and `%` (including +their uninitialized-warning variants) only when the compilation is not `-T`. +`-T`, interpreter execution, and unselected operators retain the existing +runtime taint-propagation methods. The full `make` gate passed in 3m41s; the +focused ordinary numeric recurrence and all 147 `-T` taint-mode checks passed. + +One fresh numeric JFR pair is attribution evidence rather than an acceptance +score, but it removed the dominant propagated-taint lookup: `ThreadLocalMap` +samples fell from 1,434 to 188. Its contended relative median rose from about +0.374x to 0.393x Perl. Retain the dispatch split and profile the resulting +integer-result allocation path before widening it to other operators. + +### Snapshot `substr` observer elision (completed 2026-09-09) + +The JSON profile exposed a mismatch between the existing snapshot context and +the runtime implementation. `substrImpl` constructed and registered a live +`RuntimeSubstrLvalue` before recognizing `SNAPSHOT` context and returning a +separate scalar snapshot. The discarded proxy stayed as a weak observer of the +JSON::PP parser buffer, so every later buffer mutation refreshed otherwise +unobservable slices and repeatedly scanned their logical offsets. + +Snapshot context now returns its existing value/type/taint-preserving scalar +before creating a live proxy. Four-argument replacement and ordinary lvalue +contexts still create the proxy. The existing snapshot regression passed on +system Perl and both PerlOnJava backends, and the full `make` gate passed in +4m21s. In a one-pair JFR diagnostic, `refreshSubstrLvalues` disappeared and +logical-offset scan samples fell from 760 to 2; JSON throughput was 3,577.3 +operations/s versus 2,145.6 in the immediately preceding host-contended +capture. This is strong causal attribution but not an acceptance score. Keep +the source-level snapshot boundary; the remaining JSON work is interpreter and +general call/scalar cost, not another scanner micro-optimization. + +### Interpreted method inline cache (completed 2026-09-09) + +The JSON::PP workload executes bundled Perl through `BytecodeInterpreter`. +Its `CALL_METHOD` opcode previously used uncached `RuntimeCode.call`, unlike +generated JVM method calls, so each monomorphic parser-method call performed +normal method dispatch. The opcode now invokes the existing guarded +`callCached` implementation with a cache key derived from the interpreted code +identity and bytecode PC. Cache hits retain the regular Perl call boundary, +including caller frames, warning scopes, mortal cleanup, and the established +invalidations for method redefinition and `@ISA` changes. + +The existing method-cache regression passed under system Perl and both +PerlOnJava backends; the full `make` gate passed in 5m29s. A one-pair JSON JFR +diagnostic raised throughput from 3,577.3 to 4,436.4 operations/s, and sampled +`BytecodeInterpreter.execute` frames fell from 97 to 49. This is attribution +evidence, not a portfolio acceptance result. Retain the cache and next reduce +the remaining interpreted call-frame and scalar/container work rather than +duplicating method-resolution fast paths. + +### Native positive-word shifts (completed 2026-09-09) + +The Life word kernel repeatedly shifts values constrained below `2^32`, but +the generic unsigned shift fast path still converted every positive native IV +to `BigInteger` before shifting and masking. Native non-negative IVs now use +Java's 64-bit `<<` and logical `>>>` operations directly; a result whose high +bit is set still follows the existing unsigned-result representation. Negative +IVs and existing wide UVs remain on the `BigInteger` path, preserving their +high-bit semantics. + +The new word-shift regression passed on system Perl and both PerlOnJava +backends, as did existing 64-bit unsigned coverage. The full `make` gate +passed in 5m38s. In a one-pair Life JFR diagnostic, sampled `BigInteger` +shift frames fell from 11 to zero, and throughput rose from 1,575,997.7 to +2,026,756.0 operations/s (about 0.484x Perl in that capture). This is +attribution evidence, not acceptance evidence; retain the representation +split and profile remaining call, array, and scalar-cell work before expanding +unsigned specialization. + +### Small scalar-cache range for aggregate sizes (completed 2026-09-09) + +`RuntimeArray.scalar()` correctly returns the shared immutable integer cache, +but the former `-100..100` range omitted the common size `128`. The Life +kernel therefore allocated a read-only scalar every time it evaluated +`@grid` in scalar context. The shared immutable range now covers +`-256..256`; this changes neither mutability nor aliasing behavior, only +which already-read-only integer instances are reused. + +The full `make` gate passed in 4m03s. A post-change Life JFR capture no longer +sampled `RuntimeArray.scalar()` through `getScalarInt(128)`. Its remaining +scalar allocations are result cells for shifts and bitwise operations, which +cannot be removed by widening this cache. A three-pair non-JFR confirmation +reported relative medians of 0.531x, 0.647x, and 0.489x Perl (median 0.531x). +This is a bounded allocation reduction, not acceptance evidence; next target +the result-cell and intermediate-expression representation rather than growing +the cache further. + +### Direct absent-array-element stores (completed 2026-09-09) + +Both backends previously lowered ordinary `$array[index] = value` through an +out-of-range `RuntimeArrayProxyEntry`, even though the assignment immediately +vivifies and stores the slot. `RuntimeArray.setElement` now creates the same +distinct mutable cell directly for an absent element of a non-shared plain +array and returns that cell as the assignment lvalue. Tied, readonly, +autovivifying, shared, negative, and existing-element paths retain their +established proxy/get-and-set behavior. JVM code generation and the bytecode +`ARRAY_SET` handler both use this guarded runtime entry point. + +The new chained-assignment regression passed under standard Perl and both +PerlOnJava backends. The initial full gate exposed a shared-thread validation +failure, which was fixed by explicitly retaining the proxy path for shared +arrays; the corrective full `make` gate then passed in 6m. A Life JFR capture +recorded no `RuntimeArrayProxyEntry` allocation samples, versus 577 before the +JVM lowering. It still sampled 638 required `RuntimeScalar` slot creations in +`setElement`. The diagnostic pair reached 2,091,623.3 operations/s versus +3,444,690.8 for Perl (0.607x), but remains attribution evidence rather than +portfolio acceptance evidence. Next eliminate only proven intermediate result +cells; do not weaken the lvalue/store boundary. + +### Constant direct-hash-key fetches (completed 2026-09-09) + +Interpreted `$hash{bareword}` and `$hash{'literal'}` accesses previously +materialized a temporary read-only scalar only to stringify it for +`RuntimeHash.get`. A new `HASH_GET_CONST` opcode passes the bytecode string +pool entry directly to that API. `local $hash{key}` deliberately retains +`HASH_GET_FOR_LOCAL`, because it needs a re-resolvable lvalue proxy across +hash replacement. + +The new bareword, quoted-key, writable-lvalue, and `local` regression passed +under system Perl and both PerlOnJava backends; the full `make` gate passed in +5m36s. A JSON JFR diagnostic reduced sampled literal materializations only +from 1,129 to 1,118, confirming that direct hash keys are not the major +literal source. Its relative result is attribution-only and inconclusive under +host variation. Retain this safe opcode reduction, but prioritize interpreted +call/frame and regex/literal representation work rather than expanding another +small constant-key specialization. + +### Interpreted cached-method argument-array elimination (completed 2026-09-09) + +`BytecodeInterpreter.CALL_METHOD` already holds its evaluated arguments in a +`RuntimeArray`, but previously copied that list into a transient +`RuntimeBase[]` before entering `RuntimeCode.callCached`. The cached-method +entry now accepts that existing argument array directly and constructs only +the required fresh aliased `@_` frame containing the invocant. Native generated +callers retain their `RuntimeBase[]` entry point. Tied invocants, cache misses, +AUTOLOAD, caller/warning scopes, cleanup marks, and argument aliasing all use +the same frame construction helper. + +The expanded cache regression verifies that a warmed method cache receives its +invocant and aliases a caller scalar through `@_`; it passed under system Perl +and both PerlOnJava backends. The full `make` gate passed in 7m16s. A one-pair +JSON JFR diagnostic contained no `ArrayList.toArray` allocation stack rooted +at interpreter `CALL_METHOD`; remaining `RuntimeBase[]` samples arise from +closure creation, register frames, and generated callers. The host-contended +diagnostic's 3,091.4 versus 49,611.9 operations/s is attribution-only and not +an acceptance result. Retain the removed redundant allocation, but prioritize +the mandatory per-call `@_` frame and interpreter representation rather than +claiming it closes the structural call-cost gap. + +### Direct scalar/list argument frames for interpreted calls (completed 2026-09-09) + +Normal interpreted subroutine and cached-method calls formerly converted a +scalar or `RuntimeList` argument expression to a temporary `RuntimeArray`, +then immediately created the actual aliased `@_` frame from that temporary. +Both call paths now pass scalar/list expressions directly to their existing +runtime entry points, which construct the final frame once. Calls whose +arguments are already a `RuntimeArray`, and `&sub` shared-argument calls, +retain the exact pre-existing frame path. + +New scalar/list alias regressions passed under system Perl and both +PerlOnJava backends; the expanded method-cache regression verifies the same +behavior for a warmed cached method. The complete `make` gate passed in +8m35s. The exact-source one-pair JSON JFR diagnostic no longer contains the +former `CALL_SUB` or `CALL_METHOD` intermediate-array allocation lines; its +remaining 112 method-site and 48 subcall-site `RuntimeArray` samples are the +final required frames. It measured 4,544.8 PerlOnJava versus 48,452.9 Perl +operations/s on a warm but single pair. This attribution result is not a +protocol-compliant acceptance measurement; retain the safe reduction and +continue with interpreter and call-frame representation work. + +### Lazy interpreter caller-frame resolver reuse (completed 2026-09-09) + +Every interpreted subroutine or method call keeps deferred call-site metadata so +that `caller` can resolve the exact source line only when it is observed. The +former representation allocated both that metadata record and a capturing +lambda for every call. The record now carries its code object and bytecode PC, +while a shared method reference resolves the source information on demand. This +retains lazy lookup and the existing caller-stack lifetime, while removing the +per-call lambda allocation. + +System Perl caller tests and the focused direct/multiline caller cases passed; +the full `make` gate passed in 6m27s. A fresh one-pair JSON JFR diagnostic +contains `LazyCallerInfo` samples but no `BytecodeInterpreter` lambda +allocation class, confirming the intended structural removal. Its single-pair +throughput is attribution-only under the contended host and is not an +acceptance score. Keep this reduction, but prioritize the still-required +caller-frame object and the larger interpreter representation costs. + +### Allocation-free lexical-registration lookup (completed 2026-09-09) + +`MyVarCleanupStack.isRegistered` is queried on return-value and ownership +paths. Its identity scan formerly used enhanced-for iteration, allocating an +`ArrayList` iterator for each lookup. It now scans the same live stack by +index, preserving identity comparison, ordering, and all registration +semantics while removing that per-query allocation. + +An exploratory returned-scalar copy elision was rejected: fresh closure JFR +captures still showed the dominant `RuntimeList.cloneScalars` path, so that +semantic change was removed. The retained indexed scan passed the exact-source +full `make` gate in 5m37s. A one-pair closure JFR profile confirms the former +`MyVarCleanupStack.isRegistered` iterator stack is absent; remaining iterator +allocation under `cloneScalars` and argument-copy handling remains the larger +call-boundary target. This diagnostic is not an acceptance measurement. + +### Allocation-free return-clone scans (completed 2026-09-09) + +The remaining closure return path used enhanced-for loops both to decide whether +a returned list needs scalar copies and to clone that list. Each cloned scalar +also checked the active `@_` frame through an enhanced-for identity scan. These +loops now use indexed access over the same live lists, and `cloneScalars` +pre-sizes its destination to the source length. The change preserves element +order, scalar cloning, identity comparisons, and the existing return-copy +semantics; it removes only iterator allocation and destination growth. + +The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 5m08s. A one-pair closure JFR +capture no longer records `ArrayList$Itr` allocations rooted at +`cloneScalars`, `copyReturnedReferenceScalars`, or +`currentArgumentAliasFrame`; it still shows the required `RuntimeScalar` +copies and the pre-sized destination allocation. The capture ran under host +contention, so its portfolio result is deliberately not used as a throughput +measurement or acceptance evidence. The next return-path candidate must +reduce a semantically proven class of scalar copies rather than another scan. + +### Latest candidate evidence (2026-09-09) + +The plain implicit-`$_` foreach alias candidate (`b5300e777`) safely avoids +wrapper/root bookkeeping when replacing one existing plain scalar alias with +another. Its complete default seven-pair portfolio was protocol-compliant and +conclusive, but still decisively failed the acceptance gates: closure 0.1594x, +method 0.1665x, numeric 0.3350x, string 0.2911x, regex 0.1870x, life 0.3815x, +and JSON 0.0102x Perl. Numeric improved from the preceding 0.3021x result, +but no scored workload reached the required 0.90x floor. + +The required 49-recording JFR plus call-layer-diagnostic portfolio also +completed successfully. It confirms that general named-argument calls still +carry substantial boundary allocation and inclusive time; for the numeric +workload, the sampled named-argument category measured about 2.41 MB/op +inclusive allocation and 289 us/op inclusive time. JFR timing is attribution +evidence only. The 160 MB fixed temporary profile directory, ordinary +portfolio directory, logs, and commit-message scratch file were deleted after +extracting these figures. + +A later one-pair JSON allocation recording at `263e8c8c2` retained the same +conclusion. Its most frequent sampled application allocations were +`RuntimeScalar` (2,176 samples), `RuntimeScalarReadOnly` (1,454), +`RuntimeList` (642), and `RuntimeArray` (471). The latter three classes still +lead through `RuntimeCode.invokeCallable` and `invokeWithCallFrame`. +`copyReturnedReferenceScalars`/`RuntimeList.cloneScalars` appeared in 603 +sampled stacks, making return-value copying a measured follow-up target. +Literal materialization also remains visible, but each ordinary literal must +retain a distinct scalar identity for `pos` and `\\G`, so it is not a safe +singleton-cache candidate. This recording ran while unrelated builds saturated +the host and is allocation attribution only; it does not replace the required +controlled portfolio measurement. + +### Lazy interpreter closure tracker (completed 2026-09-09) + +Every interpreted invocation owns a `SuspendedInterpreterFrame`, but only a +`CREATE_CLOSURE` opcode needs its `createdClosures` cleanup list. The tracker +now allocates lazily at that opcode; normal return, suspension abandonment, and +temporary-closure capture release retain the same ownership protocol when it +exists. The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 8m14s. In a fresh one-pair +JSON JFR recording, the ten allocation samples rooted at the former eager +`SuspendedInterpreterFrame` `createdClosures` constructor were absent. This +is a confirmed allocation removal, not a timing result: the recording remained +host-contended and the mandatory call-frame, scalar, and return-copy costs +remain dominant. + +### Lazy interpreter control stacks (completed 2026-09-09) + +`SuspendedInterpreterFrame` also formerly allocated labeled-block and loop +control stacks for every interpreted call. They now allocate only when their +respective `PUSH_LABELED_BLOCK` or `PUSH_CONTROL_BLOCK` opcode runs; marker +propagation treats an absent stack exactly as the previous empty stack. The +exact-source full `make` gate passed in 4m17s. A fresh JSON JFR recording had +zero samples at both former eager control-stack constructor lines, compared +with eight and one samples in the immediately preceding trace. This confirms +the two allocation removals only; it is not a throughput result and does not +reduce the still-dominant per-call frame, scalar, or return-copy work. + +### Interpreter register-array reuse (rejected 2026-09-09) + +JFR attributes one remaining per-call `RuntimeBase[]` allocation to +`InterpretedCode.getRegisters`. A trial cache reused one cleared array for a +top-level non-async invocation, allocated fresh arrays for recursive calls, +and bypassed the cache for `futureAsyncAwaitSub`, whose frames may resume on a +different thread. The full `make` gate was stopped by its 20-minute timeout +after broad semantic failures; the trial's direct test fixture also exposed an +unrelated construction error, so that run does not identify a single root +cause. The implementation was removed rather than retain an optimization in a +path already marked unsafe for stale register state. Do not retry it without a +specific ownership proof and correctly constructed coverage for frame escape, +closure capture, recursion, and asynchronous resumption. + +### Recycled active lexical frames (completed 2026-09-09) + +Every JVM call pushes an active lexical-frame wrapper so PadWalker, +Devel::LexAlias, runtime-regex compilation, and package-DB eval can observe +live lexical cells. The wrapper itself never escapes that stack: all public +snapshots copy its map. Released wrappers now clear their code and lazy cell +map before returning to a per-runtime free list, while recursive calls retain +distinct simultaneously active frames. A focused Java regression verifies +nested lexical visibility, reuse, and that no prior frame's cells leak into a +subsequent invocation. The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 5m45s. + +A fresh one-pair JSON JFR diagnostic contained no +`RuntimeCode$ActiveLexicalFrame` object-allocation sample, compared with 16 in +the preceding allocation trace. It still samples the lazy `HashMap` created +when generated code registers a live lexical, which is required behavior. The +host had load averages above 50 and the portfolio is protocol-inconclusive, so +this is allocation attribution only, not a throughput result. + +### Recycled active lexical maps (completed 2026-09-09) + +The recycled lexical-frame wrapper still created a lazy `HashMap` whenever a +generated lexical was registered. Since lexical snapshots copy that map, a +released frame can safely retain a cleared small map as well. Frames now keep +maps with at most 32 cells and discard larger pads, preventing stale cells and +unbounded retained capacity. The existing nested-frame regression verifies +that a reused frame exposes neither outer nor inner cells from a prior call. +The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 5m14s. + +A fresh one-pair JSON JFR diagnostic contains no +`ActiveLexicalFrame.cellsForWrite` allocation stack, whereas the immediately +preceding frame-only capture had 126 matching `HashMap`/registration stack +lines. This proves the warm path reuses both wrapper and ordinary lexical map; +the host-contended, one-pair recording remains allocation attribution only. + +This candidate is retained as a small safe loop improvement, but its evidence +advances the active work to Phase 4: prove and introduce primitive numeric +representation/code-generation only for statically safe scalar flows, with a +full semantic fallback for overload, taint, references, warnings, localization, +and aliasing. + +### Recycled copy-on-write argument snapshots (completed 2026-09-09) + +Mutating `@_` requires a copy-on-write record of the entry-time argument slots +for `@DB::args` and scalar alias checks. The snapshot list is now recycled per +runtime when its call frame exits. A fresh liveness token is assigned on every +capture, so an old scalar-copy token cannot become active again when the same +list services a later call. Small snapshots retain their backing capacity; +snapshots over 32 arguments discard it to bound retained memory. The focused +Java regression covers token invalidation and reuse, while the existing +`runtime_code_pristine_args_cow.t` coverage remains the Perl-level contract. +The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 5m30s. + +The first profiling implementation used `ArrayList.addAll`, whose internal +`toArray` allocation erased the intended gain; it was corrected before this +entry. A fresh one-pair JSON JFR diagnostic has zero `ArrayList` and zero +`Object[]` allocation samples rooted at +`snapshotActiveArgumentFramesBeforeMutation`. It retains nine samples of the +necessary per-capture liveness token. As with the other one-pair recordings, +this is allocation attribution, not a throughput score. + +### Selective detached-scalar return copies (completed 2026-09-09) + +Ordinary non-lvalue subroutine returns must copy live lexical, global, +container, `@_` alias, and anonymous-IO scalar slots before the callee can +unwind. The previous implementation cloned every scalar in a return list once +it found any scalar that was not a code reference, including already-detached +expression temporaries and freshly materialized literals. Return coercion now +retains only scalars that are provably detached: they have no live owner, +active argument-frame provenance, tie magic, or anonymous-IO ownership. Other +elements retain the established scalar clone path, including mixed lists. + +The new Perl-level regression verifies fresh literal `pos` storage, writable +computed returns, and rvalue copying of a stored scalar; it passed on system +Perl. A focused Java test proves that the detached path retains identity while +a live array slot is copied. The exact-source full `make` gate passed in +5m48s. A fresh one-pair JSON JFR capture reduced return-copy-rooted scalar +allocation samples from 223 to 138 compared with the immediately preceding +same-shaped capture (and associated `RuntimeList` samples from 115 to 73). +This remains allocation attribution, not a throughput acceptance result. + +### Guarded add-modulus numeric recurrence (completed 2026-09-09) + +The numeric workload's global update, `$global = ($global + $lexical) % +1_000_003`, remained on the ordinary `MathOperators` path after the +multiply-add-modulus specialization because its expression has no multiply +node. `NumericFlowAnalyzer` now recognizes the same-block integer-initialized +add-modulus shape and the JVM emitter invokes a guarded fixed-width path that +updates the existing target without materializing add and modulus result cells. +The guard retains the ordinary path for tainted, tied, overloaded, wide, or +non-integer values. The global-recurrence regression passed system Perl, the +focused analyzer coverage passed, and the exact-source `make` gate passed in +5m47s. A matching numeric JFR capture recorded zero samples rooted at +`MathOperators.addWarn*` or `MathOperators.modulusWarn*`, versus the dominant +pre-change allocation stacks. + +The next numeric residual is integer range iteration: `for (1 .. N)` must +currently allocate a distinct mutable scalar per value to preserve captured +`$_` references. Any reuse must be compiler-proven non-escaping, not a generic +iterator shortcut. + +### Non-retaining implicit range topic reuse (completed 2026-09-09) + +The JVM foreach emitter now uses an ephemeral integer-range iterator only for +an implicit `$_` loop whose direct range body and continue block are limited to +a conservative numeric/value-only AST subset. The iterator reuses one mutable +topic cell; references, calls, nested loops, regex and unknown constructs keep +the ordinary iterator, which creates distinct cells. The Perl regression +covers both the numeric body and the escaping `\$_` case, passed on system +Perl, and passed on both PerlOnJava backends. The analyzer unit coverage checks +the positive body plus reference and call rejection. The exact-source full +`make` gate passed in 5m48s. + +A fresh one-pair numeric JFR diagnostic compared with the immediately prior +range profile reduced sampled `RuntimeScalar` allocations attributed to +`PerlRangeIntegerIterator.next` from 3,026 to zero. The iterator still samples +boxed `Integer` payload allocation for values outside the JVM small-integer +cache; eliminating that requires a separately proven scalar representation +change. This recording measured 0.597x Perl for its single noisy pair, so it +is allocation attribution only and is not an acceptance result. + +### Bounded integer-literal scalar cache (completed 2026-09-09) + +The numeric kernel materializes the large loop-invariant modulus literal on +every iteration because it lies outside the small dynamic integer cache. +Compiler-emitted integer literals now use a separate bounded immutable cache; +dynamic integer callers retain the existing writable path, and the cache stops +growing after 4,096 distinct literal values. The large numeric-literal +reference regression passed system Perl and both PerlOnJava backends. The +exact-source full `make` gate passed in 6m04s. + +A fresh one-pair numeric JFR diagnostic has zero sampled `RuntimeScalar` +allocations rooted at both the former `getScalarInt` literal path and the new +literal-cache lookup. Total allocation samples fell from 2,595 in the preceding +range-topic capture to 1,389. Its 0.402x Perl single-pair throughput is +host-contended diagnostic evidence only, not an acceptance result. + +### Literal range-endpoint copy elimination (completed 2026-09-09) + +`PerlRange` must snapshot mutable special-variable and lvalue proxies when it +evaluates its endpoints once. Immutable numeric literals share the same proxy +base class but already hold their value, so the range constructor now leaves +them intact instead of copying both endpoints on every loop execution. The +large-literal endpoint regression passed system Perl and both PerlOnJava +backends; the exact-source full `make` gate passed in 5m39s. + +A fresh one-pair numeric JFR diagnostic reduced sampled `RuntimeScalar` +allocations rooted at `PerlRange.` from three to zero. Its 0.393x Perl +single-pair throughput remains host-contended allocation attribution only, not +an acceptance result. + +### Primitive numeric range topic cell (completed 2026-09-09) + +The non-retaining topic iterator still boxed every advancing integer into its +reused `RuntimeScalar`. For a body composed exclusively of existing guarded +numeric-flow assignments, the JVM emitter now selects a narrower range +iterator whose ephemeral topic cell keeps its current value in a primitive +`long`. All other implicit-topic bodies retain the ordinary reusable scalar +iterator. The existing primitive numeric-flow regression passed on both +PerlOnJava backends, and the exact-source full `make` gate passed in 6m02s. + +A fresh one-pair numeric JFR diagnostic has zero sampled `Integer` +allocations rooted at `PerlRangeIntegerIterator.next`; the prior capture had +1,253 such samples. Its noisy single-pair throughput rose from 0.393x to +0.459x Perl, but remains diagnostic allocation evidence only, not acceptance +evidence. + +### Primitive-key integer-literal cache (completed 2026-09-09) + +The first bounded literal cache used `ConcurrentHashMap`, which +eliminated scalar allocation but boxed its integer lookup key on every numeric +operation. It now uses a bounded primitive-key open-addressed table with atomic +value publication; the 4,096-entry bound and writable dynamic-integer fallback +remain unchanged. The large-literal regression passed on both PerlOnJava +backends, and the exact-source full `make` gate passed in 6m03s. + +A fresh one-pair numeric JFR diagnostic has zero sampled `Integer` allocations +at `getScalarIntegerLiteral`, compared with the repeatedly sampled boxed-key +lookup before this correction. The host-contended single-pair result rose from +0.459x to 0.701x Perl. This is promising diagnostic evidence but remains below +the 1x target and is not acceptance evidence. + +### Primitive recurrence target payloads (completed 2026-09-10) + +For the already restricted implicit-topic integer-range loop shape, guarded +add/modulus and multiply/add/modulus assignments now retain their target value +in a compiler-owned primitive `long` payload. The shared loop-exit path flushes +that payload back to an ordinary `RuntimeScalar` before subsequent Perl code +can observe it. Overflow, zero-divisor, ties, watchers, and all unsupported +flows retain the prior ordinary helper path. + +The focused primitive numeric-flow regression passed on both PerlOnJava +backends, and the exact-source full `make` gate passed in 4m38s. A fresh +one-pair numeric JFR diagnostic contained no sampled `Integer` allocation +rooted in either guarded recurrence helper; its four sampled `Integer` +allocations were parser startup paths. It measured 15.1M PerlOnJava versus +21.4M Perl operations/second (about 0.71x), but PerlOnJava warmup did not +stabilize. This confirms the allocation removal only; it is not acceptance +evidence and does not close the primitive-local work. + +### Inlinable existing-global lookup (completed 2026-09-10) + +`GlobalVariable.getGlobalVariable` now separates its common existing-scalar, +no-stash-alias lookup from alias resolution and auto-vivification. The fast +path takes one runtime-state snapshot and uses its direct scalar and temporary +alias maps; creation still uses the established facade so stash visibility and +enumeration bookkeeping are unchanged. The selected global-value, stash-alias, +and localization cases passed on system Perl, and the exact-source full `make` +gate passed in 4m04s. + +A one-pair numeric JFR diagnostic measured 20.6M PerlOnJava versus 21.3M Perl +operations/second (about 0.97x by window-average throughput). PerlOnJava +warmup did not stabilize, so this remains diagnostic rather than acceptance +evidence. The CPU sample leaf has moved to `RuntimeScalar.getLong`, with +global lookup second; continue with primitive numeric conversion/JIT work. + +### Rooted global lookup fast path (completed 2026-09-10) + +The inlinable existing-global path now recognizes scalars already marked as +package roots. Those ordinary globals no longer probe the temporary-alias map +or repeat root marking on every access; an unrooted localized slot still takes +the existing temporary-alias check. The exact-source full `make` retry passed +in 5m39s after a transient unrelated thread-cleanup test failure. + +JFR reduced sampled `GlobalVariable.getGlobalVariable` leaves from 119 to 42 +in the numeric diagnostic, moving `RuntimeScalar.getLong` and map lookup to +the leading remaining costs. One JFR pair measured about 0.87x Perl and an +independent no-JFR pair about 0.90x, both with unstable warmup and a contended +host. Retain the measured lookup reduction, but do not treat either as +acceptance evidence. + +### Direct primitive-range topic reads (completed 2026-09-10) + +The existing primitive-range eligibility already restricts the implicit-topic +body to direct guarded numeric assignments and forbids a continue block. Its +only `$_` uses are therefore rvalues in the recognized recurrence. The JVM +emitter now stores each iterator cell in a JVM local and marks precisely those +topic reads to load it directly, instead of installing and resolving the +temporary package-global alias on every iteration. Normal foreach aliasing is +unchanged for every other loop shape. + +The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 5m08s. A JFR numeric diagnostic +measured 24.2M PerlOnJava versus 18.1M Perl operations/second (about 1.34x by +window-average throughput); a no-JFR repeat measured 22.9M versus 19.0M +(about 1.21x). Both PerlOnJava warmups remain unstable and these are still +single-pair diagnostics, not portfolio acceptance evidence. They do establish +that the numeric workload has crossed the 1x target; next collect the +authoritative multi-workload portfolio and prioritize any remaining workload +below target. + +### Post-numeric bounded portfolio (recorded 2026-09-10) + +A one-pair, three-window, five-window-warmup portfolio after direct topic +reads is explicitly non-authoritative because every PerlOnJava workload failed +the stability rule. Its diagnostic ratios were: closure 0.164x, method 0.154x, +numeric 1.219x, string 0.357x, regex 0.192x, Life 0.364x, and JSON 0.088x. +Numeric is no longer the project bottleneck. The closure JFR points instead to +the general call boundary: `ThreadLocal` lookup, dynamic-local teardown, +argument/list handling, and `RuntimeCode.apply`/`invokeCallable` dominate the +sampled work. Prioritize a semantics-preserving common call-frame fast path, +then remeasure closure and method before considering specialized workloads. + +### Pre-sized small RuntimeList results (completed 2026-09-10) + +The fixed-value `RuntimeList` constructors previously started from an empty +`ArrayList`, even when they immediately inserted one scalar, aggregate, or a +known vararg lower bound. They now reserve that known capacity. This changes +neither flattening nor aliasing; list-valued varargs still expand normally. + +The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 5m11s. A matching one-pair method +JFR diagnostic reduced sampled `ArrayList.grow` allocation from about 2.28 GB +to 0.55 GB and `methodArgsWithSelf` from 0.81 GB to 0.52 GB. The host remains +variable, so the throughput reading is allocation attribution only. Retain the +constructor sizing and next focus on the remaining method-frame and literal +materialization costs. + +### JVM occurrence-local string-literal pads (completed 2026-09-10) + +The JVM emitter previously copied a cached short-string scalar at every +execution of an ordinary literal. The cached payload remains useful, but the +scalar must be stable for its code occurrence because it carries +identity-associated state such as `pos`. Generated code now resolves each +cacheable literal through a pad on its owning `RuntimeCode`, keyed additionally +by the generated class so nested implementation callbacks cannot reuse a +parent's occurrence slot. Closure and ithread clones begin with independent +pads. + +The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 3m40s. A matched one-pair method +JFR capture contained no sampled allocation rooted at +`materializeByteStringLiteral` or `materializeStringLiteral`, replacing the +roughly 8.0 GB former byte-string-materialization attribution. The one-pair +throughput remains host-variable and is not acceptance evidence. This is a JVM +allocation specialization; the interpreter still materializes ordinary string +literals per evaluation, so no cross-backend literal-identity claim is made. + +### Void-context parameter-unpack result elision (completed 2026-09-10) + +A JVM list assignment always returned a `RuntimeArray` representing the +assignment expression, even for statement-context parameter unpacking such as +`my ($self, $value) = @_`. The emitter now calls a discard-result API in void +context. Its `RuntimeList` fast path preserves the existing RHS snapshot, +per-slot stores, and deferred mortal flush, but omits only that unused result +array; every other assignment shape remains on `setFromList`. + +The new unpacking regression passed on system Perl and both PerlOnJava +backends. The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 3m38s. A matched +no-diagnostic method JFR capture no longer sampled `RuntimeArray` allocation +rooted at `setFromList` (about 0.50 GB in the immediately preceding capture). +Its one-pair throughput is allocation attribution only, not acceptance +evidence. + +### Static match regex-wrapper reuse (completed 2026-09-10) + +Both execution backends formerly created a fresh tracked `RuntimeRegex` +wrapper every time an ordinary syntactically constant match literal executed, +despite the native regex program already being cached. A static match is +consumed immediately by the match operator, unlike `qr//`, whose newly created +Perl value may escape. The compiler now assigns the former a per-runtime +callsite wrapper cache; `qr//` keeps its existing fresh-wrapper semantics, and +`/o` and `m?PAT?` continue to use the same callsite state. + +The new regression covers `/g` target position and capture replacement, passed +on system Perl and both PerlOnJava backends; runtime isolation coverage asserts +the private-wrapper reuse. The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 3m45s. +A matched JSON JFR capture removed the prior static-match wrapper path from the +hot JSON::PP methods. Remaining `cloneTracked` samples are dynamic replacement +and regex-coercion paths. The diagnostic JSON median rose from roughly 4,929 to +5,520 PerlOnJava operations/second (about 12%); host variability makes this +evidence directional rather than portfolio acceptance. + +### Static substitution regex-wrapper reuse (completed 2026-09-10) + +Constant `s///` patterns similarly constructed a private wrapper on every +execution. Both backends now cache that wrapper per call site, refreshing its +replacement and caller-argument fields for each invocation. `replaceRegex` +copies and clears those dynamic fields before matching, so the cache does not +retain lexical replacement closures. The regression covers replacement refresh +and passed system Perl, both backends, and the full `make` gate (3m50s). A +focused JSON JFR capture no longer sampled `getReplacementRegex` or tracked +wrapper construction; its one-pair median was 5,388 operations/second and is +allocation evidence rather than acceptance evidence. + +### Byte-string concatenation without codec round trips (completed 2026-09-10) + +The common non-UTF-8 concatenation path had already established that both +operands contained only Latin-1 code units, but then encoded each Java string +to ISO-8859-1 bytes, copied those arrays, and immediately decoded the joined +array in `RuntimeScalar(byte[])`. It now creates the joined Java string +directly and explicitly retains the `BYTE_STRING` flag. Raw-byte construction +and the `use bytes` path remain unchanged. + +A new regression verifies both high-byte preservation and the byte-string +flag; it passed system Perl and both PerlOnJava backends. The exact-source full +`make` gate passed in 3m53s. A fresh two-pair, no-JFR string diagnostic +measured roughly 0.38x Perl on a contended host, versus the earlier JFR +diagnostic near 0.33x. This is directional performance evidence only; the +string workload remains well below the 1x target. + +### Primitive caller-hint frame stack (completed 2026-09-10) + +Every native subroutine entry saved its caller's `$^H` in an +`ArrayDeque`, boxing the integer on ordinary call paths. The runtime +state now uses a small primitive stack with the same top-first frame indexing +used by `caller(...)[8]`. This removes the sampled per-call `Integer` +allocation without changing warning or hint scope behavior. + +The new nested-caller regression uses distinct lexical call sites to verify +frame ordering. It passed system Perl, both PerlOnJava backends, and the +exact-source full `make` gate in 3m45s. Re-profile closure and method workloads +before assigning a throughput effect; the larger remaining cost is still +`RuntimeArray` argument-frame construction. + +### Lazy interpreter-frame auxiliary stacks (completed 2026-09-10) + +`SuspendedInterpreterFrame` is the common state carrier for every interpreted +call, not only async continuations. Its eval, scoped-regex, method-invocant, +and mortal-cleanup stacks formerly allocated seven empty `ArrayDeque`/`ArrayList` +objects at every entry. Those containers now allocate on their owning opcode's +first execution and are retained on the frame, so suspended executions resume +with exactly the same state. Ordinary interpreter frames without those features +avoid all seven allocations. + +The exact-source `make` gate passed in 3m53s. A short, explicitly +non-authoritative JSON JFR smoke measurement completed semantically and +recorded 21.6 MB of thread allocation across 2,328 allocation samples. It +still shows `RuntimeArray` argument-frame construction and `RuntimeList` +wrapping as the material allocation costs; only feature-using regex scopes +allocate their stack. This validates the intended allocation direction but is +not throughput or acceptance evidence. + +### Interpreter occurrence-local literal pads (completed 2026-09-10) + +The interpreter previously constructed a new mutable scalar every time a +cacheable byte or Unicode string literal opcode executed. The JVM backend had +already moved ordinary literal occurrences to per-CV pads because scalar +identity carries `pos`/`\G` state. `InterpretedCode` now has the same sparse, +per-instruction pad: after first use, a literal load returns its stable +read-only scalar without allocating. Uncacheable strings and v-strings retain +the former fresh-scalar path, and closure copies begin with their own pads. + +The new regression verifies both `/g` advancement on a repeated literal +occurrence and the read-only diagnostic for a literal passed by alias. It +passed system Perl, both PerlOnJava backends, and the exact-source full `make` +gate in 3m54s. A matching non-authoritative JSON JFR smoke run removed all +samples rooted at the prior byte-string literal load (127 samples in the +preceding capture); total sampled `RuntimeScalar` allocations fell from 708 to +577. The short run measured about 5,451 PerlOnJava versus 69,170 Perl +operations/second, so it is allocation attribution only and does not support +an acceptance claim. + +### Cached interpreter regex-scope depths (completed 2026-09-10) + +`SAVE_REGEX_STATE` records only the current nesting depth for a later +`RESTORE_REGEX_STATE`; the scalar is never writable or observable as a Perl +value. It now uses the existing bounded immutable integer cache, removing the +per-scope depth-scalar allocation while preserving the fresh `RegexState` +snapshot itself. The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 3m37s, and the +focused literal `/g` regression passed on both backends. Re-profile the JSON +workload before attributing a throughput effect. + +### Empty direct-call transport elision (completed 2026-09-10) + +JVM-emitted direct calls previously allocated a native `RuntimeBase[]` even +when their source argument list was exactly empty. Such calls still require a +fresh empty Perl `@_` frame, so this change does not pool or share that array. +Instead, a zero-argument facade reuses one immutable empty Java transport +array; the emitter selects it only for exact zero-argument direct calls. + +The new frame-isolation regression verifies empty `@_`, callee-local mutation, +and a fresh frame for the following call. It passed system Perl, both +PerlOnJava backends, and the exact-source full `make` gate in 3m46s. A short +closure JFR smoke run showed the new facade on the zero-argument call path, +but its remaining `RuntimeArray` frame allocation is expected; it is not +throughput or acceptance evidence. + +### One-argument method transport elision (completed 2026-09-10) + +The post-call-cleanup method JFR showed `RuntimeBase[]` transport allocations +on the cached one-argument method path (about 1.23 GB sampled on +call-boundary-inclusive stacks). `RuntimeCode.callCached` already had a +scalar/list-argument entry point that directly builds the fresh aliased method +`@_` frame; the JVM emitter had only selected the native-array overload. It +now selects that existing entry point for exact one-argument method calls, +while zero and multi-argument calls retain their prior representations. + +The new alias-sensitive regression checks that the callee sees the invocant +and argument in a fresh frame, that `$_[1]` still aliases the caller scalar, +and that a subsequent call has a distinct frame. It passed on system Perl and +both PerlOnJava backends; the exact-source full `make` gate passed in 3m45s. +Disassembly confirms the scalar/list `callCached` descriptor at the selected +call sites. A bounded one-pair method JFR is allocation/activation evidence +only: the native-array class remains only in small residual samples from other +call sites, while the selected one-argument path no longer creates it. + +### Guarded reusable empty argument frames (completed 2026-09-10) + +Exact zero-argument calls still built a fresh `RuntimeArray` solely to model +an empty `@_`, which remained the dominant sampled closure-boundary allocation. +The JVM compiler now marks a CV only when its complete statically reachable +body contains no `@_` reference and no dynamic-source or executable-regex +path. At an exact zero-argument call, the runtime then reuses one empty frame +per execution state while preserving the normal fresh-call lifecycle, caller +state, and copy-on-write bookkeeping. Debugger mode and all unproven CVs retain +the ordinary fresh-frame path; the interpreter is intentionally unchanged. + +The regression covers nested argument-independent closures, reuse after +return, and an `@_` observer that mutates its frame twice without leaking state. +It passed on system Perl, both PerlOnJava backends, and the exact-source full +`make` gate in 3m41s. A bounded closure JFR/call-layer pair reduced sampled +`RuntimeArray` allocation on call-boundary-inclusive stacks from about 5.9 GB +in the preceding empty-transport capture to about 0.10 GB. Its roughly 2.0M +PerlOnJava operations/second window throughput and allocation diagnostics are +activation evidence only, not an acceptance comparison. + +### Scalar return-list recycling (completed 2026-09-10) + +After empty-frame reuse, the closure profile's next material wrapper cost was +`RuntimeScalar.getList()` through `RuntimeCode.returnList()`: a scalar result +still needs a `RuntimeList` for the general call contract. A returned list +cannot be pooled generically because list-context callers may retain it. The +JVM direct-call scalar conversion is different: after control-flow handling it +extracts the scalar and drops the list reference. One-scalar result lists are +therefore tagged at construction and returned to a runtime-local pool only by +that scalar conversion; list-context and untagged results retain their normal +allocation and lifetime. + +The regression covers repeated scalar returns, list-context preservation, and +scalar/list behavior for multi-value returns. It passed system Perl, both +PerlOnJava backends, and the exact-source full `make` gate in 3m59s. A bounded +closure JFR/call-layer pair reduced sampled call-boundary `RuntimeList` +allocation from about 2.8 GB to 22 MB. Its 1.93M PerlOnJava operations/second +window throughput is diagnostic only and does not satisfy the 1x objective. + +### In-place ordinary integer compound assignment (completed 2026-09-10) + +The common integer `+=` path previously computed a mutable intermediate scalar +through ordinary `+`, then immediately copied it into the left-hand scalar. +For untainted, unblessed, non-wide integer operands after overload dispatch, +the runtime now stores the exact primitive sum directly in the existing lvalue. +Taint mode, overload, non-integer values, and overflow retain the prior general +path, including its promotion behavior. + +The regression covers values outside the small-scalar cache, scalar alias +identity, negative values, and overflow promotion. It passed system Perl, both +PerlOnJava backends, and the exact-source full `make` gate in 3m32s. A bounded +closure JFR pair contained no sampled `RuntimeScalar` allocation through +`MathOperators.addAssign`; the roughly 2.09M PerlOnJava versus 15.12M Perl +operations/second reading is diagnostic only and does not satisfy the 1x +objective. + +### Leaf JVM closure-frame elision (completed 2026-09-10) + +Every JVM subroutine call formerly installed a closure-lifecycle frame, even +when the body could not create a nested closure. The existing conservative +`CleanupNeededVisitor` already proves a simple leaf body has no nested sub, +dynamic eval, `local`, `defer`, or user call. JVM CVs with that proof now skip +the empty lifecycle frame and its returned-closure scan. All unproven and +interpreter CVs retain the existing frame protocol. + +The regression covers repeated simple-leaf invocation and a nested closure +whose capture survives its maker's return. It passed system Perl, both +PerlOnJava backends, and the exact-source full `make` gate in 4m01s. A bounded +uninstrumented closure JFR pair improved diagnostic throughput from about +2.43M to 2.71M PerlOnJava operations/second; it remains far below Perl and is +not acceptance evidence. + +### Cached JVM call-boundary runtime state (completed 2026-09-10) + +The common JVM call lifecycle repeatedly re-acquired the current +`PerlRuntime` through its `ThreadLocal` merely to access the same execution +and compilation state. `invokeWithCallFrame` now obtains both once and passes +the existing state to its argument, active-CV, recursion, closure-frame, and +warning-stack setup/teardown helpers. The stacks, warning-scope global, and +all public helper entry points retain their former behavior; this is only an +intra-boundary state-access specialization. + +The exact-source full `make` gate passed in 3m39s. A bounded closure JFR pair +improved diagnostic PerlOnJava throughput from about 2.71M to 3.22M +operations/second and reduced sampled `PerlRuntime.current`/`ThreadLocal.get` +work substantially. The host is not quiet enough for this to be acceptance +evidence, and the result remains below the 1x objective. + +### Leaf JVM regex-state frame elision (completed 2026-09-10) + +JVM subroutines previously pushed a dynamic `RegexState` snapshot at every +entry. That snapshot is necessary for general calls because a callee, dynamic +eval, or regex operation can observe or change capture state. The emitter now +omits it only for a body proven by `CleanupNeededVisitor` to have no +local/eval/nested/user-call path and by `RegexUsageDetector` to contain no +regex operation. All other JVM bodies and the interpreter retain the existing +snapshot protocol. + +The focused regression verifies that a regex-free leaf preserves the caller's +captures and that a regex-using leaf has isolated captures which restore on +return. It passed system Perl and the exact-source full `make` gate in 3m27s. +A bounded closure JFR pair improved diagnostic throughput from about 3.22M to +3.31M PerlOnJava operations/second. This small host-noisy reading is direction +evidence only and remains far below the 1x objective. + +### Lazy nonrecursive recursion state (completed 2026-09-10) + +Every JVM call previously created, updated, and removed an identity-map +recursion-depth record, even though the ordinary call is not recursive. The +active-CV stack already records the executing frames required for capture and +debugger semantics. Recursion tracking now materializes its map record only +when that stack contains a second instance of the same CV; it initializes the +depth from the observed stack count and retains the existing warning/reset +behavior through the outermost return. + +The standard-Perl recursion-depth and recursive-warning regressions passed, +as did the exact-source full `make` gate in 3m47s. A bounded closure JFR +diagnostic removed `IdentityHashMap.put` from the hot samples and measured +about 3.52M PerlOnJava operations/second, compared with about 3.37M in the +preceding clean-source capture. Warmup remained unstable on the loaded host, +so this is directional evidence only, not an acceptance comparison. + +### Native ordinary-`substr` indices (completed 2026-09-10) + +`substrImpl` converted every offset and explicit length to `BigInteger`, even +when an ordinary `INTEGER` scalar already held a Java `Integer` or `Long` in +the string-index domain. It now uses that native value directly when it fits +an `int`; wide integers, non-integers, and all outside-of-string behavior +retain the exact `BigInteger` path. The existing core edge-semantics and +snapshot/lvalue `substr` regressions passed on system Perl, and the exact-source +full `make` gate passed in 3m30s. + +The preceding string JFR had 135 samples in `BigInteger.intValue` or +`BigInteger.getInt` beneath `substr`; neither appeared in the matching +candidate capture. A bounded one-pair string diagnostic measured about 8.1M +PerlOnJava operations/second, compared with about 7.55M in the preceding JFR +diagnostic. PerlOnJava warmup did not stabilize and the host was loaded, so +this is directional allocation/throughput evidence only, not an acceptance +comparison. The string workload remains well below the 1x objective. + +### JSON interpreter attribution (recorded 2026-09-10) + +A bounded JSON::PP workload JFR after the call-boundary changes measured about +5,554 PerlOnJava versus 67,223 Perl operations/second (roughly 0.083x, with +unstable PerlOnJava warmup). Its CPU samples were dominated by +`InterpretedCode.apply` and `BytecodeInterpreter.execute`, alongside the +general call-frame methods. This identifies interpreter execution, rather than +a residual JVM string or scalar helper, as the immediate JSON bottleneck. + +The existing `JPERL_EVAL_NO_INTERPRETER=1` diagnostic, which routes eval STRING +through JVM compilation, reached only about 5,856 PerlOnJava operations/second. +That directional ~5% change does not close the gap and is not an acceptance +comparison. Future JSON work must profile the executed interpreter opcode mix +and evaluate a semantics-preserving hot-eval promotion or broader interpreter +dispatch redesign; do not treat a global eval-backend switch as the solution. + +A later bounded JSON call-layer capture at commit `142be63b2` reinforces that +priority. The common shared-argument instance category recorded 5.20M calls, +about 30.98 microseconds and 28,977 bytes inclusive per call, but only about +3.74 microseconds and 3,384 bytes exclusive to the generic boundary. Its body +therefore accounts for roughly 99% of measured inclusive time. The diagnostic +collector perturbs execution and used only one short pair, so these are +attribution figures rather than throughput or acceptance evidence; they rule +out another boundary-only micro-optimization as the next JSON candidate. + +### Interpreter simple-leaf regex-state elision (completed 2026-09-10) + +The interpreter still installed a dynamic `RegexState` snapshot on every +`InterpretedCode` entry, including the same statically simple leaves for which +the JVM backend already omits it. `BytecodeCompiler` now applies that existing +conservative proof to interpreter code: only a body with no regex operation, +runtime-regex lexical exposure, user call, closure, eval, `local`, defer, or +other cleanup-sensitive construct sets `usesRegexState` false. Async CVs are +explicitly excluded because their live match state crosses suspension. + +The permanent regression invokes an eval-created simple interpreted leaf after +a caller match and verifies `$1` is unchanged. It passed system Perl, both +PerlOnJava backends, and the exact-source full `make` gate in 5m39s. A bounded +one-pair JSON JFR smoke completed semantically but was intentionally +non-authoritative (five warmup windows and a loaded host): it measured roughly +5,197 PerlOnJava versus 57,572 Perl operations/second. CPU samples remain +dominated by `BytecodeInterpreter.execute`; this safe leaf allocation reduction +does not materially close the JSON gap and is not acceptance evidence. + +### Open Questions + +- Which reference host can be kept sufficiently quiet for the acceptance gate? +- Should Life retain the application-level flat/parallel workloads alongside + the deterministic word-kernel score? diff --git a/dev/tools/tests/performance_portfolio_acceptance.t b/dev/tools/tests/performance_portfolio_acceptance.t new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..a17a27548e --- /dev/null +++ b/dev/tools/tests/performance_portfolio_acceptance.t @@ -0,0 +1,55 @@ +use strict;
