Follow-up to #11225. Related: #11240 (see "#11240" below). Gives lane D's general-statics issue its fix.

Root cause

With PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1, importing node:http makes the no-auto driver rebuild the stdlib with external-http-client-pump. That rebuild (optimized_libs/no_auto.rs, build_http_client_pump_stdlib) selected only perry-runtime, perry-stdlib-static and perry-ext-http. Two kinds of archive stayed prebuilt, from a different cargo invocation with a different feature unification:

  • the runtime archive;
  • every other wrapper the program links (perry-ext-net, perry-ext-events, ...).

So the binary carried two perry-ffi builds (different crate hashes), each with its own statics:

Moving individual statics into perry-runtime cannot fix this:

  • HANDLES payloads are looked up by TypeId, and a type from two builds has two TypeIds.
  • The duplicated ext-net would remain.

Fix

One cargo invocation now produces every archive that bundles perry-ffi or perry-runtime. The HTTP rebuild adds -p perry-runtime-static and -p <crate> for every well-known wrapper the program links (linked_ext_crates, deduplicated by archive). It then replaces the prebuilt runtime and every prebuilt wrapper with the rebuilt ones. Nothing prebuilt that carries perry-ffi or perry-runtime is mixed in any more.

The id-claim approach I prototyped earlier (runtime-owned id band) is not needed; I dropped it and deleted its wip branch.

Proof

All on perrymaster (perry-dev, Node 26.5.1), PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1, nm on PERRY_KEEP_SYMBOLS=1 binaries. "main" is pristine origin/main built with the same package set.

probe main this PR
#11225 gap test + import * as http hangs at once(client,'connect'); 2 perry-ffi REGISTRATIONS, 2 ext-net matches Node; 1 / 1
net socket keeps receiving after an http exchange hangs (no output); 2 / 2 matches Node; 1 / 1
lane D's agent.createConnection probe error agent.createConnection requires node:net (not linked); 2 / 2 200 Via Your Socket /cc body for GET = Node; 1 / 1
#11240 m3.ts (import http + "abc".match(/b/)) matches Node (already fixed on main by #11226) matches Node; runtime now from the same graph

Lane D: I also merged lane D's 9cfd966ed, the parent of cf0679723 and therefore without the raw_net_slot move, into this fix. probe_cc and the three other probes all match Node, with one perry-ffi. So once this lands, the raw_net_slot move is not needed for split archives.

Integration test: no_auto_http_rebuild_builds_every_linked_archive_in_one_graph mirrors #11226's miniature-workspace test and runs the real cargo command.

  • Its ext-net refuses to compile unless perry-ffi was unified with the stdlib's pump feature, which only holds inside the shared graph.
  • Decoy prebuilt libperry_ext_net.a / libperry_ext_http.a on PERRY_LIB_DIR must not be linked.
  • Fails on the pre-fix no_auto.rs (the runtime archive must come from the rebuilt graph, not the prebuilt one) and passes with the fix.

The #11174 miniature test gained a perry-runtime-static crate, because the command now selects it; it still passes. no_auto_http_client_import_rebuilds_pump_stdlib_with_ext_http (real workspace build) passes.

Checks: cargo fmt --check OK. check_file_size.sh OK. SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 run_lint_gates.sh: 88 of 90 script gates pass, compile tier not run. The 2 failures are cargo xwin not being installed on the host and the known-red public benchmark freshness step.

#11240

m3.ts already passes on current main; #11226 fixed it by adding perry-runtime to the invocation. This PR goes further and also takes the runtime archive from the same graph, but it is not the change that fixed #11240. So this PR does not say Fixes #11240; the issue can be closed as fixed by #11226.

Not run

  • The full cargo test -p perry suite; only the optimized_libs::tests::no_auto_http* tests were run.
  • A gap sweep, macOS, Windows, cross targets. The cross-target env handling in the rebuild is unchanged.
  • The Windows wasm/native-addon path. That path still builds its own runtime+stdlib graph, and when it applies, its runtime takes precedence.

Trade-off: the first no-auto HTTP compile now also rebuilds the linked wrappers into target/perry-no-auto-http-pump. Repeat compiles are incremental no-ops.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Builds that import node:http now rebuild the runtime and linked extension libraries together, preventing incompatible prebuilt archives from being mixed into the same build.
    • When both HTTP and network extensions are used, their rebuilt libraries now come from the same build.
  • Tests

    • Added integration coverage for shared rebuilds and verification that the expected libraries are available.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The no-auto HTTP-pump rebuild now builds the runtime, stdlib, HTTP extension, and linked wrappers in one Cargo invocation. It replaces matching prebuilt wrapper archives and validates the rebuilt archives. Integration tests cover archive selection and shared build output.

Changes

HTTP pump archive coherence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Linked wrapper selection
crates/perry/src/commands/compile/optimized_libs/no_auto.rs
The HTTP-pump rebuild receives the linked wrapper crates and archive names. It replaces matching prebuilt wrapper archives and uses the rebuilt runtime only when no runtime was already resolved.
Coherent build and validation
crates/perry/src/commands/compile/optimized_libs/no_auto.rs, crates/perry/src/commands/compile/optimized_libs/tests.rs, changelog.d/11263-no-auto-coherent-ext-build.md
The Cargo invocation builds the runtime, stdlib, HTTP extension, and linked wrappers. The build validates the expected archives. Integration tests check archive existence, shared output directories, and exclusion of prebuilt decoys. The changelog describes the rebuild and test.

Ready to merge once CI is clean (follow-up to #11225). No-auto http builds now build perry-runtime, stdlib and every linked ext library in a single cargo invocation, so the binary gets exactly one perry-ffi and one ext-net (checked with nm). Fixes on no-auto builds: handle-id collisions (the #11225 gap test with an http import), net sockets that stop receiving after an http exchange, and agent.createConnection. The new integration test runs the real cargo command; it fails on the old no_auto.rs and passes on the branch.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The rebuilt runtime is dropped when the wasm or native-addon runtime rebuild already ran.

build_optional_runtime returns (Some(runtime), None) on non-Windows targets. This happens when ctx.needs_wasm_runtime is true or ctx.native_addons is non-empty. If the program also imports http or https, stdlib is None, so the pump rebuild runs. runtime is already Some, so Lines 118-120 keep the archive from target/perry-optional-runtime. The pump stdlib bundles a runtime from target/perry-no-auto-http-pump. The linked libperry_runtime.a therefore comes from a different Cargo graph than the runtime inside libperry_stdlib.a and the rebuilt wrappers.

The comment at Lines 95-103 describes this runtime split as the cause of the #11240 mi_free crash. This change does not fix that split for wasm or native-addon programs that import HTTP.

Forward the optional runtime features into build_http_client_pump_stdlib. Then use built.runtime in every case.

🐛 Proposed fix
-        if runtime.is_none() {
-            runtime = Some(built.runtime);
-        }
+        // The pump graph built its runtime with the same optional features,
+        // so its archive always replaces an earlier optional-runtime build.
+        runtime = Some(built.runtime);

In build_http_client_pump_stdlib, add a runtime_features: &[&str] parameter. Append those features to the --features argument, for example perry-runtime/wasm-host and perry-runtime/node-api-host. Build the list from ctx.needs_wasm_runtime and ctx.native_addons in the same way as build_optional_runtime.

A/B for the mongodb 7.5.0 mi_free ← well_known_symbol ← String.prototype.match SIGSEGV that #11267's PR body reported.

Tree: wip/remove-mongodb-binding @7422bc38eb, plus #11235, #11243 and #11267. I cherry-picked this PR onto it together with its prerequisite c025870 (#11174). no_auto.rs is byte-identical to this PR's head. I ran test_gap_mongodb_from_source.ts with mongodb@7.5.0, PERRY_NO_AUTO_OPTIMIZE=1, deleting the ext archives and the target/perry-optional-runtime dir before each arm. Only the compiler's optimized_libs/ differs between arms:

compiler pump path taken result (3 runs)
before c025870 (#11174) rebuilding stdlib (external-http-client-pump) + perry-ext-http together SIGSEGV 3/3
c025870, without this PR same no crash 3/3
c025870 + this PR rebuilding runtime + stdlib … + every linked wrapper together no crash 3/3
auto-optimize (PERRY_WORKSPACE_ROOT set), with this PR n/a no crash 3/3

So for this workload the crash was fixed by #11174 (already on main): before it, the stdlib was rebuilt with the runtime's default features off, which left out the regex engine. This PR does not change the outcome here. It isn't needed to fix this crash, and it doesn't regress it. All crash-free arms stop at the same next failure, MongoServerSelectionError: value is not a function, which is a separate compiler bug (#11275).
