Assignments such as O = new BlockList() and O = source, where source is a known native instance, still recorded O in the module-wide name table. In a bundled module, an unrelated binding with the same spelling could therefore lower ordinary calls such as O.codePointAt(0) as native BlockList or child_process methods.

These assignment paths now register the resolved LocalId, matching #9847's direct native-call assignment fix. Module-level bindings keep cross-function tracking because every reference resolves to the same ID, while genuinely unresolved assignment targets retain the existing name-keyed fallback.

Regression coverage exercises both remaining forms, verifies that the assigned handle still uses native dispatch, and verifies that a same-named binding in another function stays an ordinary property call.

Validation:

  • Pre-fix focused suite: 4 passed, 2 targeted regressions failed
  • Final native_instance_binding_scope: 6 passed
  • Complete perry-hir test suite: passed, including all integration targets and doc tests
  • scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: all 64 gates passed; 2 CI-only expressions skipped locally
  • No version bump

Fixes #9858

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed native-instance assignment tracking so dispatch applies to the resolved binding rather than matching identifier names across a module.
    • Prevented unrelated same-named bindings in other functions from incorrectly using native methods.
    • Preserved existing behavior for module-level handles and unresolved global fallbacks.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for constructor assignments and propagated native assignments.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Native-instance assignment lowering now resolves targets to local bindings before registration. Constructor and propagated assignments retain native dispatch without tagging unrelated same-named bindings. Regression tests cover both paths.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Assignment registration by resolved binding
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_assign.rs, crates/perry-hir/src/lower/context.rs, changelog.d/9904-native-instance-assignment-scope.md
A shared helper registers resolved targets by LocalId. It preserves module-wide and selected name-keyed fallbacks for unresolved targets. Native module calls, constructors, and variable propagation use the helper.
Homonym scope regression coverage
crates/perry-hir/tests/native_instance_binding_scope.rs
Tests verify native dispatch for constructor and propagated assignments, while unrelated same-named string bindings use ordinary property calls.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f2a0f

The scoping fix can incorrectly lower native method calls when an unresolved fallback precedes a same-named local native assignment. This correctness issue should be fixed and covered by a regression test before merge.

Explanation

The PR addresses resolved LocalId registration, native dispatch preservation, and same-name binding isolation for the linked issue [#9858]. However, the summary states that two assignment paths pass register_scoped_fallback = false, so they do not retain the name-keyed fallback for unresolved targets, which conflicts with the issue objective to retain that fallback when no binding resolves.

Resolution

Ensure every unresolved assignment path that previously relied on name-keyed fallback retains that behavior, especially the native module method-call and variable-propagation paths, or provide explicit evidence that those paths had no such prior fallback. Add regression coverage for unresolved targets if behavior changes are intentional.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the new LocalId tag when a prior fallback created a tombstone.

A prior unresolved assignment can register O by name. A later let O; O = new NativeClass() first adds a tombstone, then Line 176 stores the new tag only in local_id_native_instances. lookup_native_instance returns None at that tombstone before it checks the LocalId map. The later O.nativeMethod() then loses native dispatch.

Make the tombstone branch return the resolved binding's local_id_native_instances entry when it exists. Keep the tombstone result as None only when that binding has no LocalId tag. Add a regression case for unresolved fallback followed by a same-named local native assignment.

Proposed fix
 if module.is_empty() {
-    return None;
+    return self.lookup_local(name).and_then(|id| {
+        self.local_id_native_instances
+            .get(&id)
+            .filter(|(module, class)| !exposes_plain_object_fields(module, class))
+            .map(|(module, class)| (module.as_str(), class.as_str()))
+    });
