Applications can opt into Solid JSX with perry.jsx: "solid" in package.json or [perry] jsx = "solid" in perry.toml. Perry lowers native tags and components to the universal renderer, with reactive property getters and children, keyed lists, conditional widget identity, spreads, references, and fragments. The existing JSX mode stays the default, and .tsx also works with the shorthand compile command.

This extends the native renderer in #9825 with JSX types, an application example, and executable fixtures. The same fixture runs through Solid's pinned official Babel universal transform in Node and Perry's own transform, with assertions for widget identity, component execution counts, callback replacement, ref tracking, spread precedence, and disposal.

Validation: five compiler configuration integration tests pass, together with the renderer TypeScript check, renderer unit test, and pinned official Babel oracle. Perry-generated and Babel-generated native JSX each pass normally and with forced collection schedules (4644, 1), (1, 0.25), and (42, 0.1) under from-space protection and evacuation verification. Both perry-solid release fixtures pass. All 64 local repository gates pass, with the two CI-expression commands skipped by the local runner.

Stacked on #9825. Runtime GC verification also uses #9822 and the enumeration callback correction in #9864. Executed native UI coverage is macOS. No version bump or package publication. Refs #4644.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an opt-in Solid JSX compiler mode and a perry-solid native renderer. Updates macOS and Windows child ordering, adds renderer and compiler tests, native smoke coverage, release fixtures, examples, documentation, and changelog entries.

Changes

Solid JSX compilation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Solid JSX lowering and compiler configuration
crates/perry-hir/..., crates/perry/src/commands/compile/..., crates/perry/src/main.rs
Adds Solid JSX AST lowering, perry.jsx mode parsing, compiler-context state, lowered-module integration, and direct .tsx invocation support.
Compiler configuration tests
crates/perry/tests/solid_jsx_config.rs
Tests mode selection, configuration precedence, cache isolation, invalid values, .tsx invocation, and JSX without renderer imports.

Native renderer and platform integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Native renderer package
packages/perry-solid/src/..., packages/perry-solid/package.json, packages/perry-solid/tsconfig.json
Adds the Solid renderer, Perry native driver, JSX types, package exports, property mapping, tree operations, keyed lists, refs, components, and disposal.
Examples and documentation
packages/perry-solid/README.md, packages/perry-solid/examples/*
Adds renderer documentation and TypeScript and TSX counter examples.
Platform child ordering
crates/perry-ui-macos/..., crates/perry-ui-windows/..., crates/perry-dispatch/src/ui_table/part_a.rs
Updates macOS stack operations and parent-index metadata. Implements Windows child reordering and passes reorder indices as floating-point ABI arguments.

Validation and release support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Renderer and native validation
packages/perry-solid/test/..., crates/perry-ui-macos/tests/native_widget_order.rs
Tests reactive properties, keyed identity, reparenting, refs, disposal, native ordering, screenshots, and smoke-test interactions.
Release fixtures and changelogs
tests/release/packages/perry-solid/..., changelog.d/*solid*.md
Adds renderer and JSX release flows, expected output, fixture setup, and changelog entries.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 87d6e

Release notes can misstate the shipped JSX feature, and JSX property typos can fail during rendering. These are localized fixes with bounded release risk.

- Add `perry-solid`, a Solid universal-renderer bridge for native stacks, text, buttons, spacers, and dividers, with hyperscript authoring, reactive properties, keyed widget moves, and owner disposal. Add a counter/list example, a Node/native release fixture, and a macOS Geisterhand smoke test. Correct macOS indexed stack insertion and retained layout metadata, match the compiler's reorder arguments to the native floating-point ABI, and implement Windows child reordering. Solid JSX compilation remains a separate stage of #4644.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the stale Solid JSX scope statement.

This entry says that Solid JSX compilation remains a separate stage of #4644, while changelog.d/9865-solid-jsx.md says this release adds Solid JSX compilation. Keep the release notes consistent with the shipped feature by removing or rewriting that sentence.

Based on learnings: changelog fragments must describe the final shipped behavior as one coherent release-note entry.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restrict intrinsic JSX property names.

NativeProps extends Props inherits Props's string index signature, so <text typo="value" /> passes TypeScript checking. The native renderer forwards typo to driver.setProperty, whose default branch throws Unsupported Perry Solid property: typo. Define NativeProps without extending Props.
