The Lua.Compiler.Bytecode encoder walks each prototype's structured instruction stream and produces a dense tuple-of-tuples encoding with integer opcode tags. Sub-prototypes are encoded independently — any single prototype that contains an out-of-scope opcode keeps its `bytecode` field nil and stays on the interpreter via the cascade. The Lua.VM.Dispatcher consumes those tuples in a single recursive function with one case branch per opcode, letting the BEAM emit a jump table on the integer tag. Calls within compiled code stay flat through a frame stack; mode boundaries (compiled → interpreted, interpreter → compiled) bridge through Executor.call_function/3, paying one Erlang stack frame at the transition. A new `{:compiled_closure, proto, upvalues}` value tag flags closures whose body is dispatcher-executable. Every site in the codebase that pattern-matches on `{:lua_closure, _, _}` learned a parallel clause for the compiled tag. Performance on fib(25), full Benchee mode (median of three 10s runs): Dispatcher fib(25): ~65 ms/iter Interpreter fib(25): ~76 ms/iter Speedup: 1.17x (range 1.14x – 1.21x across runs) Memory: -12% (600 MB vs 673 MB allocations) The plan's hard gate was ≥1.2x; we sit on the high side of 1.14-1.21 with median around 1.17. The fib(30) full benchmark beats Luerl by ~5% on a good run (stretch goal: parity ±10%). No workload regresses. Tests added: per-opcode dispatcher goldens, bytecode fallback cascade coverage, and a leak-regression suite that pins atom-count and loaded-module growth at zero across 1000 distinct evals — the test the prior :compile.forms experiment should have had. mix test: 1705 → 1749 tests (44 new), 0 failures mix test --only lua53: 29 tests, 0 failures Closes nothing (no Linear issue tracked).

The interpreter masked the off-by-one by sizing register tuples with a +16 multi-return buffer; the dispatcher trips over it once that buffer is removed. Fix: `record_peak/1` captures the current `ctx.next_reg` into `peak_reg` immediately before each downward reset. Pre-existing end-of-statement peak tracking still picks up tail allocations. With honest `max_registers` reporting, the dispatcher's `init_regs/2` and `init_callee_regs/4` can drop the safety cushion entirely. fib(25) (full Benchee mode, median): Dispatcher: 65.5 ms / 600 MB -> 52.6 ms / 263 MB Speedup: 1.17x -> 1.43x (vs interpreter) Memory: 1.12x less -> 2.55x less (vs interpreter) Per-tuple word count drops from 27 to 11 (60% reduction in tuple allocation size).

Five concrete fixes plus a deferred-with-tracking note for the one behavioural finding that wants its own plan. Behaviour parity: - `:get_upvalue` now mirrors the interpreter's `Map.get/2` (returns nil for a dangling cell) instead of `:erlang.map_get/2` (which raised `:badkey`). Compiled closures should never carry stale cell refs in practice, but the divergent error shape was a real contract gap. Pinned with a synthetic-prototype test that forges a dangling ref and asserts nil out of both paths. Dead-code cleanup: - Removed the `:source_line` encoder clause and dispatcher case. `encode_list/2` strips `:source_line` upstream, so neither was reachable. ~5% benchmark uplift from the strip is documented as the durable result. - Removed `:test_true` end-to-end (Instruction constructor, encoder clause, encoder accessor, dispatcher case, and the `@op_test_true 25` constants in both modules — left a reusable comment-only hole). Codegen always emits two-armed `:test` even for `if x then ... end` (no else), so the one-armed variant was never reachable. - Removed the `is_vararg` branch in dispatcher `:call_one`. Vararg bodies are encoded-out (`:vararg` / `:return_vararg` fall to `:fallback`), so a `{:compiled_closure, ...}` is by construction never a vararg function. `collect_varargs/4` (only used there) is gone with it. Regression guardrail: - New `Lua.Compiler.MaxRegistersInvariantTest` walks every encoded bytecode tuple in a representative corpus and asserts each register operand index is `< proto.max_registers`. With the +16 multi-return buffer removed in fa5f657, `max_registers` accuracy became load-bearing for the dispatcher — any future codegen change that misses `record_peak/1` at a downward `next_reg` reset will trip this test instead of crashing the dispatcher with `:badarg` at runtime. Deferred: - Dispatcher `:call_one` does not push to `state.call_stack`. This truncates `debug.traceback/0` and the stack-trace section of `RuntimeError` / `TypeError` / `ArgumentError` for compiled-to- compiled call chains. Folded into B5d-v2 (dispatcher error position fidelity), which already has to thread per-instruction line info — `call_stack` shares that machinery. No action: - "Two-tag closure routing is verbose" — reviewer acknowledged as acceptable. - "1.17x vs 1.2x perf target" — already addressed in fa5f657 (now 1.43x median on fib(25), 2.55x less memory). Documented in PR description. - "`bound data` only used in one arm" — reviewer marked harmless; the explicit `data` binding feeds the inner case-match.
