Three small runtime mechanisms from the ECS round-4 chain, cut from current main (23a211383). Suites on the isolated perrymaster gate: set:: (54, serial) + runtime (2752). Paired measurement on the codehz/ecs "5k entities: 3 commands each + sync" row (idle Mac mini, alternating pairs) follows in a comment.

  • closure_is_arrow answers from the dispatch cache. It probed the arrow registry — a thread-local hash lookup — on every receiver rebind, i.e. on every this.handler(a, b) call through a closure-typed field (CommandBuffer.execute's this.executeEntityCommands(entityId, commands), 5k/frame: closure_is_arrow 0.8% + the rebind helper 0.9%), while the DispatchStrategy the call resolves right after already carries is_arrow, memoised per body in the recent-bodies cache and kept coherent by js_register_closure_arrow_function's invalidation (methods inherited via Object.setPrototypeOf(obj, proto) run with this=undefined — effect Pipeable/Tag statics return the wrong pipe stage (blocks web.ts, 'Not a valid effect: undefined') #6475). Answer from that cache instead. (Stamping such facts into the closure header at allocation was considered and rejected: late registration during cyclic module init purges the strategy caches, and a stamped header cannot be purged.)
  • js_readonly_set_has is a leaf. It inlined its structural fallback (a handle scope and the generic method dispatch), so the genuine-Set arm — componentTypeSet.has(type) on every command, 1.4% self — paid the fallback's frame. The fallback is outlined and cold.
  • js_set_clear exits on an already-empty set before the side-table probe (the table mirrors the elements, so there is nothing to reset) — half of a change set's per-entity adds.clear(); removes.clear(); the small-Set lane test now also pins clear-on-empty and clear-then-reuse.

…onlySet.has is a leaf; Set.clear exits on an empty set

closure_is_arrow probed the arrow registry — a thread-local hash lookup —
on every receiver rebind, i.e. on every `this.handler(a, b)` call through a
closure-typed field, while the dispatch strategy the call resolves right
after already carries the same answer, memoised per body and kept coherent
by js_register_closure_arrow_function's invalidation. Answer from the
recent-bodies cache instead.

js_readonly_set_has inlined its structural fallback (a handle scope and the
generic method dispatch), so the genuine-Set arm — `componentTypeSet.has`
on every command — paid the fallback's frame. The fallback is outlined and
cold; the fast arm is a leaf.

js_set_clear on an already-empty set has nothing to reset (the side-table
mirrors the elements) and now returns before the table probe — half of a
change set's per-entity `adds.clear(); removes.clear()`.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now uses cached closure dispatch results, outlines the structural ReadonlySet.has fallback, and skips side-table clearing for empty sets. Tests cover empty-set clearing, populated-set clearing, and member re-addition. A changelog entry documents these optimizations.

Changes

Runtime optimizations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cached closure arrow detection
crates/perry-runtime/src/closure/registry.rs
closure_is_arrow now reads arrow status from the memoised dispatch strategy result instead of probing the arrow registry again.
Set fast paths and validation
crates/perry-runtime/src/set.rs, changelog.d/8952-closure-arrow-set-leaf.md
ReadonlySet.has moves structural fallback logic to a cold, non-inlined function. Set.clear() returns immediately for empty sets. Tests cover clearing and reusing set members, and the changelog records the changes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9eb19

The runtime changes are localized and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains; only a minor changelog spelling correction is noted.

Gate on the isolated perrymaster clone for 9eb19e996 (base 23a211383): runtime suite 2752/2752, codegen lib 1337, native_proof_regressions 280, transform lib 119 — all green; merge-base ratchets flat (576/967). The lint file-size step reports crates/perry-codegen/src/gc_map.rs at 2047 lines — that file is untouched here and is already over the cap on the base commit, so it is a pre-existing red from another change, not this PR. The Darwin set:: suite passes on the Mac (54/54); paired measurement follows.

Merged. All three are faithful substitutions rather than new decisions, which is what I checked:

closure_is_arrow from the dispatch cache is the one that could have gone wrong, since arrow-ness decides this binding. It is equivalent on every path: resolve_strategy's slow path computes is_arrow: is_registered_arrow_function(func_ptr) — literally the call this replaces — and the only two early returns that hardcode is_arrow: false are the BOUND_METHOD_FUNC_PTR / BOUND_FUNCTION_FUNC_PTR sentinels, which are not real function bodies and would have answered false from the registry too. So a cache miss cannot produce a different answer, only a slower one.

The note about rejecting a header stamp is worth keeping in the record — late registration during cyclic module init purges the strategy caches, and a stamped header cannot be purged.

Validation — runtime 2773/0, codegen 1337/0 (RUST_TEST_THREADS=1); scripts/run_lint_gates.sh 57 of 58 including the compile tier, re-run after #8957 repaired main's file-size gate — the remaining one is the pre-existing \${{ }} substitution artifact (#8929).
