perf(map): repair ordered-delete indexes in place

[proggeramlug]

What changed

• compact ordered Map entries with one overlap-safe move instead of two barriered stores per surviving entry
• mark the moved external-slot span once for old-to-young GC tracking
• remove only the deleted key and decrement later offsets in the numeric, string, and pointer side indexes instead of clearing and rehashing every survivor
• preserve insertion order, SameValueZero lookup behavior, delete-then-readd append order, and moving-GC pointer-index rebuilding
• add a mixed numeric/string/pointer regression that verifies lookup, side-index membership, iteration order, and re-add ordering

The existing external-span helper is renamed to the barrier convention used by the GC claim verifier; no audit allowlist or exception is added.

Verification

• cargo fmt --all -- --check
• git diff --check
• python3 scripts/gc_store_site_inventory.py --gate (1,578 files; 97 runtime barrier claims verified)
• focused map tests: 3 passed
• full serial debug runtime suite: 2,687 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored
• full serial release runtime suite on the exact submitted code: 2,687 passed, 0 failed, 4 ignored

One earlier parallel debug run had the existing allocator-residue sensitivity test fail; it then passed three isolated reruns and the complete serial debug and release suites.

Mac mini benchmark evidence

Interleaved five-pair Perry/Perry A/B runs used the same precompiled ECS benchmark source, with this change stacked on #8807. All 50/50 process-level semantic oracles passed.

• migration: 50.5% lower median paired time
• spawn: 44.8% lower
• mixed workload: 36.2% lower
• relation flip: 88.3% lower
• 15k commands: neutral (-0.05%)

A separate three-run Node/Perry cohort showed the expected direction on the affected rows, including migration 2.05x, spawn 1.74x, mixed 1.46x, and relation flip 8.41x faster than the #8807 control. This is development evidence, not a parity claim: the remaining ECS rows are still roughly 22-60x behind Node and are being profiled separately.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Performance

  • Improved deletion of entries from ordered maps, reducing unnecessary work when compacting stored entries.
  • Set and map updates now handle relocated entries more efficiently.

• Bug Fixes

  • Preserved map insertion order after deletions and subsequent re-additions.
  • Maintained correct lookups across numeric, string, and object keys.
  • Ensured garbage collection continues to track moved map and set entries correctly.
  • Added coverage for mixed-key map deletion scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change renames the external-slot span barrier and updates map and set callers. Ordered map deletion now compacts entries with one overlap-safe move and repairs numeric, string, and pointer side indexes in place. A mixed-key test validates order, deletion, and re-addition behavior.

Changes

Collection barrier updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
External-slot write-barrier wiring crates/perry-runtime/src/gc/barrier/mod.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/map.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/set.rs	The external-slot span barrier is renamed to runtime_write_barrier_external_slot_span. Map and set growth paths use the renamed function.
Ordered map deletion and validation crates/perry-runtime/src/map.rs, changelog.d/8813-map-ordered-delete.md	Ordered deletion uses overlap-safe compaction and repairs all side indexes in place. The mixed-key test validates survivor lookup, insertion order, and delete-then-readd behavior. The changelog documents the implementation.
