perf(codegen): specialize imported object literal methods

[proggeramlug]

Summary

Specialize stable imported object-literal method calls across ESM boundaries with producer-authored provenance and guarded direct calls to the defining closure body. Preserve JavaScript semantics with receiver identity, exact shape, own-slot, and live function-identity guards plus the universal method-dispatch fallback.

Changes

• seed eligible statically keyed method-bearing object literals with stable anonymous shapes while preserving source-order property initialization
• harvest immutable exported object/method capabilities, resolve them through barrels and aliases, and include them in consumer cache keys
• emit direct producer-closure calls only for exact-arity proven methods; retain js_native_call_method_by_id for every guard failure and unsupported dynamic case
• report provenance, selected method identity, guards, and fallback in --explain-lowering
• add Node/Perry parity coverage for the 400000 checksum, forced moving GC, replacement, deletion/recreation, accessors, function-valued properties, extraction/rebinding, proxies, prototype mutation, descriptor flags, and key order
• register the compiler-output workload and direct-arm IR assertions

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The compiler now collects capabilities for eligible exported object literals, resolves them across ESM imports and aliases, and lowers stable own-method calls through guarded direct closure calls. Dynamic receiver or method changes use the existing generic dispatcher. New fixtures and tests validate runtime parity and emitted lowering.

Changes

Imported object-literal specialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Producer capability collection crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_object.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/collectors/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/lib.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/mod.rs	Eligible method-bearing object literals receive stable anonymous shape seeds. Codegen collects immutable exported methods and exposes their capability metadata.
Cross-module capability resolution crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/opts.rs, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/run_pipeline.rs, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/object_cache.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/codegen/*, crates/perry-codegen/src/expr/mod.rs	The pipeline resolves producer capabilities through imports, aliases, and re-exports. Imported-class metadata, function contexts, external globals, and cache keys carry the object-literal information.
Immutable alias tracking crates/perry-codegen/src/stmt/*	Statement lowering records imported-object provenance for immutable, non-reassigned aliases and removes unsupported alias facts.
Guarded direct method lowering crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get.rs, crates/perry-codegen/src/lower_call/property_get/imported_object.rs	Property access checks receiver identity, shape, own method storage, and closure identity before making a direct call. Failed checks use js_native_call_method_by_id.
Fixture and regression validation test-files/fixtures/issue_8775_imported_object/*, crates/perry/tests/issue_8775_imported_object_specialization.rs, benchmarks/compiler_output/workloads.toml, changelog.d/8785-imported-object-method-specialization.md, scripts/shape_descriptor_census_baseline.json	The fixture and tests cover stable calls, mutations, aliases, accessors, proxies, prototype changes, and barrel imports. Workload checks validate runtime output, LLVM lowering, fallback dispatch, native records, and shape-descriptor census data.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9730b

The PR adds cross-module specialization for imported object methods, but aliasing the same imported capability may still produce duplicate or non-deterministically ordered generated declarations, affecting build reproducibility and potentially generated-code correctness. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to canonicalize declaration identity and emission order.

2166-2185: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use deterministic ordering for external global declarations.

LlModule::add_external_global does not guard against duplicates. Duplicate external declarations are harmless. Iterate over a producer-identity BTreeSet to remove redundant declarations and make IR output deterministic.

- Around line 58-62: Add a foreign-receiver case for the extracted imported
method near <code>extracted</code>: define a receiver whose
<code>store.create</code> returns a distinct value, then invoke
<code>extracted.call(foreignReceiver, id)</code> and assert the resulting ID.
Preserve the existing <code>adapter</code> call so the fixture covers rebinding
without testing direct imported-object specialization.

Addressed the review feedback (rebased equivalent: cd175db): external producer globals are deduplicated and deterministically ordered through a BTreeSet keyed by (source_prefix, source_global_id), and the semantics fixture covers Function.prototype.call with a foreign receiver. The shape-descriptor census baseline is also updated. After main advanced, rebased onto 726f6e9 and added 28cf11b so directly exported method literals retain the stable producer shape required by #8775 while ordinary local literals keep main's new direct-object lowering. Validation: formatting/diff checks, shape census, test registration, HIR path tests, codegen build, Node/Perry parity in normal + forced moving-GC modes, five guarded direct closure calls, five generic fallback arms, and lowering records with all four guards.

Landed on main via the #8803 batch.
