fix(runtime): GC-rooting, class-construction, and sandbox-capability corrections across the stack - #1200
Merged

Conversation
Addresses the 22 live CodeRabbit findings from the first review round in one layer, per the freeze discipline: newTarget bracketing and the missing-super() ReferenceError on every construction route, an AST-instance-elements hook so compiled subclasses of evaluator-built bases run base fields (a confirmed mode-parity break), a production guard where assertions compile out, prototype-name display without constructor displacement, GC rooting for rest-pattern allocation, the embedded node_modules audit event, Windows-aware absolute-path classification, snapshot-runner receiver semantics, and the documented comment/docs corrections. One finding declined with oracle data (the setPrototypeOf construct-guard widening would move interpreted mode away from Node).

Runtime correctness and lifecycle handling
Documentation and suite alignment
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR changes class initialization and module path authorization, but class field initializers can still run with incorrect strictness and linked paths may escape the permitted node_modules boundary; the snapshot regression test also has a GC-related nondeterminism risk. These concrete correctness and security issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

3720-3742: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsolidate the duplicated derived-constructor "must call super()" check.
RequireDerivedConstructorThisInitializedcorrectly extracts the ES2026 §10.2.2 step 13.c rule. The same rule still exists inline inInstantiateClass(around theHasDerivedConstructorReturnRestriction and IsUndefinedConstructedValue(ConstructedValue) and not AClassValue.ConstructorMethod.LastSuperConstructorCalledcheck), which was not refactored to call this new helper. Three call sites now express the same rule; two use the helper and one does not. A future change to the rule must be applied in two places to stay correct.Replace the inline check in
InstantiateClasswith a call toRequireDerivedConstructorThisInitialized.♻️ Proposed refactor in `InstantiateClass`
if Assigned(AClassValue.ConstructorMethod) then begin ConstructedValue := AClassValue.ConstructorMethod.CallWithThisValue( AArguments, Instance, ConstructorThisValue, EffectiveNewTarget); ApplyOwnConstructorResult(ConstructedValue, ConstructorThisValue); RequireDerivedConstructorThisInitialized(AClassValue, ConstructedValue); end🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Inline comments:
In `@source/units/Goccia.Engine.Realm.Test.pas`:
- Around line 500-503: Update the snapshot setup around DeriveAsyncContext and
SetCurrentAsyncContext so Key and Store are held by TGocciaTempRoot values until
OuterContext is installed as the current async context, preventing either value
from being reclaimed during intermediate allocations.
In `@source/units/Goccia.Evaluator.pas`:
- Around line 11515-11541: Update BuildClassDefinitionContext so class
instance-element evaluation always uses strict mode by setting NonStrictMode and
CompatibilityNonStrictMode to False, matching ClassStrictContext, rather than
inheriting the surrounding scope’s EffectiveNonStrictMode.
Apply the same fix in `@source/units/Goccia.Evaluator.pas` around lines 11649 -
11684: This function uses BuildClassDefinitionContext, so the same strictness
defect applies here.
In `@source/units/Goccia.Modules.NodeResolution.pas`:
- Around line 138-143: Harden IsPathInsideDirectory and the node_modules
resolution flow so containment is based on physical canonical paths rather than
ExpandFileName’s lexical normalization, preventing symlink or Windows junction
traversal outside the package. Canonicalize the candidate and package directory
or reject links before accepting a path, while preserving the existing strict
“beneath, not equal” behavior; add POSIX symlink and Windows junction escape
coverage.

Summary
super()ReferenceError (ES2026 §10.2.2 step 13.a — previously a documented gap): fixing it only at the flagged VM site would have introduced a parity break, so the check now guards every construction route in both engines, oracle-matched against Node.newTargetsave/restore bracketing inTryConstructOnReceiver; the replacement-receiver initializer replay guarded by the applied marker; a production-mode guard whereAssertcompiles out ({$C-}); Windows-aware absolute-path classification whose misjudgment could move the--allow-node-modulesceiling; the embeddedAllowNodeModulesgrant now emits its capability-audit event;AsyncLocalStorage.snapshotrunners no longer forward their holder asthis(Node-probed); engine destruction restores the enclosing engine's async context via a scoped bracket instead of a thread-global reset (nested engines are real: ShadowRealm); prototype-assignedname: "Error"no longer displaced by the constructor name in rejection rendering.ClassChainReachesNativeConstructionto followGetConstructorPrototype. Probed against Node v24 and bun: the proposed widening would move interpreted mode away from the correct answer forObject.setPrototypeOf(Sub, WithMap)shapes; the underlyingsetPrototypeOf-vs-[[Construct]]deviation (both modes affected, bytecode worse) is filed as a follow-up with both repros.Testing
