Summary

  • keep the dense Array.prototype.shift memmove fast path for ordinary arrays while routing observable indexed properties through live HasProperty / Get / Set / Delete operations
  • translate the runtime's internal hole sentinel to JavaScript undefined on the dense return path
  • root the receiver and carried values across accessors, then revalidate frozen and non-writable-length state before the final length update
  • add end-to-end regression coverage for inherited indices, holes, freezing getters, and getters that make length non-writable

Test262 impact

Pinned test262: 4249661388e5d3f92a85186213da140a6481490f

  • built-ins/Array/prototype/shift: 15 pass / 4 runtime-fail before, 19 pass / 0 fail after
  • full built-ins/Array: 2,510 pass / 17 known runtime-fail / 0 compile-fail after; failure-set comparison found no additions
  • the aggregate full-slice count also stopped reproducing one unrelated flaky huge-length allocation failure; this PR claims only the four shift fixes

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Array.prototype.shift now distinguishes ordinary and exotic indexed behavior. The spec path preserves holes, handles inherited properties and side effects, roots values across observable operations, and validates frozen or non-writable length state.

Changes

Array shift behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dense shift dispatch
crates/perry-runtime/src/array/push_pop.rs
The dense path detects exotic indexed behavior. Ordinary arrays access index 0 through the array API so holes become undefined.
Spec-compliant operations and regression coverage
crates/perry-runtime/src/array/push_pop.rs, crates/perry/tests/issue_5898_array_shift_exotic.rs
The spec path performs HasProperty, Get, Set, and Delete operations. It preserves holes, roots values across observable operations, rechecks length state, and validates inherited properties, getters, frozen arrays, non-writable lengths, exceptions, and getter counts.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 13962

The change can silently skip inherited setters or non-writable properties during Array.shift instead of throwing as required, potentially leaving the array in an incorrect state; merge should wait for the write path to be corrected.

Use a throwing, prototype-aware Set helper for shift writes.

js_array_set_f64_extend checks only own descriptors. It does not invoke inherited setters and silently returns for missing setters or non-writable own properties. shift requires Set(O, key, value, true), so these failures must throw before the loop continues.

Not landable yet — the two red gap-suite shards are four real parity regressions, not flakes. Here's everything I found, including the easy half.

The lint failure is trivial

##[error]This PR changes crates/ but adds no changelog.d/ fragment.

That's it. Add changelog.d/8761-<slug>.md (or the skip-changelog label) and lint goes green. I have a fragment written if you'd like it, but it's a one-file add.

Worth noting for my own part: my local run of the repo's lint checkers passed, because this particular check is an inline shell step in the workflow rather than one of the scripts/*.py gates I mirror locally. So "all local gates green" was never going to catch it.

The gap failures are the blocker

gap-suite (5) and (6) each report regressions against the committed test-parity/gap_snapshot.json — i.e. tests the snapshot says should pass:

shard 5

- test_gap_generic_class_constructor_name_7632: pass -> parity_fail

shard 6

- test_gap_4100_primitive_proto_brand_check: pass -> parity_fail
- test_gap_6320_proxy_closure_probes: pass -> parity_fail
- test_gap_array_iterator_next: pass -> parity_fail

test_gap_array_iterator_next is the one you'd expect from a shift change. The other three — a primitive-prototype brand check, proxy closure probes, and a generic class constructor name — are not obviously related, and that breadth is what makes me think this is worth a careful look rather than a quick patch. If routing indexed access through live HasProperty/Get/Set/Delete touched a shared helper, the blast radius could be wider than Array.prototype.shift.

I checked the obvious alternative explanation and it doesn't hold: your base is only one commit behind main, and that commit (#8762) is release-workflow YAML and publish scripts, which cannot move runtime parity.

One thing I'd ask you not to do

The harness helpfully prints:

Fix the regressions, then accept the rest with:
  UPDATE_SNAPSHOT=1 ./scripts/run_gap_tests.sh

Please fix the four rather than re-baselining them — parity_fail means Perry's output no longer matches Node byte-for-byte, so accepting the snapshot would bake in whatever divergence this introduced. If any one of them turns out to be a case where Perry was previously wrong and now matches Node, that's a legitimate snapshot update, but it's worth saying so explicitly with Node's actual output for that case.

The Rust side looks good otherwise: it merges cleanly onto current main, all the script-based lint gates pass, and the rooting is done properly — RuntimeHandleScope with across_mut + with_mut_ptr around the accessor calls, which is the right #7341 shape for values carried across user code.

Ping me once the four are green and I'll re-run the full gate set and land it.

proggeramlug added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 25, 2026
* fix(runtime): honor exotic indices in Array shift

* docs(changelog): add the #8761 Array.shift fragment

The `lint` job requires a `changelog.d/<PR>-<slug>.md` fragment for any PR
that touches `crates/`; #8761 had none, which was the only lint failure on
that PR.

Landed on main via #8824.

Correcting my earlier block on this PR: I held it on four gap-suite regressions it did not cause. Its CI ran against a main that was carrying class-instance prototype-chain breakage — sibling PRs #8771 and #8776 on the same window show the identical failure set, and main was fixed within hours by #8766, #8778 and #8780/#8781. A full 580-test A/B against clean main shows zero divergences on either arm. The only real blocker was the missing changelog fragment, now added. Sorry for the delay.
