📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe copying-minor collector now uses remembered logs for shape keys and box roots. It validates log completeness in debug and test builds, preserves full-table scans, adds lifecycle tests, and reports total pause and scanner timings. ChangesMinor GC young-root logging
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Async captured values can become unrooted during minor GC after a full collection, risking assertion failures or invalid reclaimed references. This should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Keep minor remembered sets for boxed roots and the shape table's carrier mutations. Compact both sets after each minor while retaining authoritative full-table walks for major collection. Report whole copied-minor pause time and its scanner share together.
Record the scanner map, sabotage-able test coverage, disk-gated validation, predictions, and the exact perrymaster follow-up request.

Keep drained boxes in BOX_YOUNG_ROOTS after a full trace.
publish_async_activation_cells can leave a drained box in ASYNC_PENDING_RELEASES while its capture count is nonzero. scan_box_roots_mut skips that box before adding it to kept, then replaces BOX_YOUNG_ROOTS with kept. The next minor scans only this log, while relevant_box_roots still expects the box. The debug assertion can fail, and a minor can miss the box's young payload.

Runtime-only, on main
616a2cb84. Written by codex from the campaign's per-minor scanner profile; not yet compiled (the authoring host had no disk) — perrymaster's gate ladder and rows will be appended here. GC-adjacent: needsrun-extended-tests.Why
On cc (4-turn 3300-char replies,
[gc-scanner-profile] copying_minor), a steady-state copying minor's scanner time is 7–20 ms, and a minor whose young live set is 0 MB still pays 7.4–7.8 ms. Two scanners own ~70 % of it at every nursery size:object::shapes::scan_shape_table_rekey_mut(4.8–7.3 ms median, 42–48 %) andr#box::scan_box_roots_mut(3.3–3.7 ms, 22–29 %). Their cost is a function of table size, not of how many young entries exist — the term the young-entry logs of #9755 removed for the other side tables. Steady survival per minor on cc is 0–9 %, and a run has 8–13 minors, so the bound is ≈ 10 ms × minors (≈ 3 % of turn CPU at 3300, more at 400 where minors are a larger share), at every nursery size.What changes
young_keyslog, but its keep predicate kept every long-lived keys array in the log forever. The minor walk now re-derives actual minor work: nursery addresses stay for relocation, malloc roots stay while carrier-owned, and a long-lived carrier stays only while its property-key payload contains a collectible leaf. Carrier notes are received without re-borrowing the table; the structural-publication funnel re-arms a same-address mutation; scanner-internal rekeys do not enqueue duplicate visits.scan_box_roots_mutwalked every address inBOX_REGISTRY(malloc cells whose only GC edge is theBox::valueNaN-box). A box remembered set is armed on both allocation arms and both mutation ABIs, including the trusted setter used by generated boxed-local stores (the enforced-funnel rule). Release paths only clear; scanner rewrites compact their own entries.debug_assertionsand in lib tests every minor scan re-derives the relevant set from the whole table and asserts the log is complete.[gc-copy-minor] rannow printspause_us=(sampled as the last action before the mutator resumes) andscan_us=, so a steady minor's whole cost becomes a number for the first time.PERRY_GC_DIAGonly.Tests (named, sabotage stated in the campaign report; not yet executed)
shape_table_minor_walk_visits_exactly_k_young_entries,shape_table_rederivation_rejects_a_suppressed_logging_site,shape_mutation_to_new_young_key_rearms_minor_log,box_roots_minor_walk_visits_exactly_k_young_entries,box_root_rederivation_rejects_a_suppressed_mutation_hook,box_mutation_to_new_young_object_is_visited,promoted_shape_entry_leaves_young_log_and_remains_in_major_walk,promoted_box_root_leaves_log_and_is_found_by_full_walk; the existing scanner-completeness and moving-witness suites unchanged.Predictions (falsifiers on the cc diag run)
On a zero-live steady minor both scanners fall from ~2 ms to ≤ 0.2 ms; a steady minor's scanner total from 7–8 ms to ≤ 3 ms;
pause_usandscan_uson every completed minor; paired turn CPU vs the best bundle ≈ −3 % at 3300, more at 400; RSS unchanged (small retained log capacities only).Measured — MS2 (perrymaster, control = main
504e180d0+c81ea9043(the young-log rollback fix this PR's hunks depend on) vs the same + this commit, both relinked on main's cache; gate ladder green; quiet box, stamped rows)The predicted bound (≈ −3 % at 3300, more at 400 where minors are a larger share) held; the small RSS increase is the retained young-entry log capacity, inside the campaign's +1–10 % rule. Per-scanner and
pause_usnumbers from the same run are appended below once read.Per-minor numbers from the same run (this PR's runtime, 4-turn 3300 run, 27 minors)
[gc-copy-minor] ran pause_us= scan_us=now exists: startup minors 57–164 ms whole (13–25 MB copied or promoted each); steady minors 32–59 ms whole, of which 11–18 ms is scanner time (median scanner total 15.4 ms over 16 steady minors; whole-minor mean 57.6 ms including startup).scan_box_roots_mutno longer appears among the top scanners of any steady minor.scan_shape_table_rekey_mutdropped from the first place on every minor to 3–5 ms on some steady minors and absent from the top four on the rest, so the "≤ 0.2 ms on a zero-live minor" prediction is only partly met and the remaining long-lived carriers are the next thing to look at. The scanners that now lead a steady minor:scan_descriptor_roots_mut3–6 ms,scan_closure_dynamic_props_roots_mut1–6 ms,scan_builtin_closure_metadata_roots_mut2–3 ms,scan_template_raw_roots_mut1–3 ms, the symbol side table 1–2 ms — the same table-size shape this PR removed for shapes and boxes. The larger number the new counter exposes is the non-scanner part of a steady minor, 20–45 ms, which the diag cannot yet attribute.Control vs this PR, same-time pairs (MS2c: 4-turn 3300 runs, two rounds alternating, 27 minors each side)
Steady-minor scanner medians, control → this PR:
scan_shape_table_rekey_mut3.9 / 3.3 ms → 0,scan_box_roots_mut3.4 / 3.4 → 0.06 ms; every other scanner identical on both sides (scan_descriptor_roots_mut4.1 / 4.2 vs 4.1, closure dynamic props 3.4 vs 3.6, template raw roots 1.8 / 1.9 vs 1.8, symbol side table 1.7 / 1.9 vs 1.7, builtin closure metadata 1.5 vs 1.6). Steady scanner total 22.4 / 20.6 → 15.3 ms. Whole run:minor_us1.750 / 1.723 s → 1.570 s (−10 %), GC share 40 / 38 → 35 ‰, mean whole-minor cost 64.8 / 63.8 → 58.1 ms — the ~7 ms scanner saving shows up one-for-one in the minor. Steadypause_uson this PR's runtime: median ≈ 46 ms (30–76), so the profiled scanners are about a third of a steady minor and the rest is the next instrument's job. The five scanners left are the same table-size shape on this bundle and the next candidates.Summary by CodeRabbit
