Adopt Wasmlight's benchmark-gated optimization wave process for GocciaScript bytecode work against QuickJS. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Capture the 0.062x QuickJS AWFY geomean, local probe medians, and profile facts before isolated optimization lanes start. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Record write-IC, counted-for, and the rejected-retry list so later lanes do not revive ADR 0088/0081/0089 work. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
A sparse hot case plus nested cold helper was flat on the dispatch floor and several times slower on mixed-opcode probes. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Skip the extra LOAD_INT and ADD_FLOAT dispatches on i+K loops while keeping generic + semantics for unproven and non-numeric operands. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Proven-numeric identifier self-increment assignment now reuses the ++ opcode, cutting GET_LOCAL/LOAD_INT/ADD_FLOAT/SET_LOCAL dispatch on loop-heavy probes without changing string concatenation. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Accepted isolated lane on optimize/add-num-imm. Probe A/B beat noise on loop-dispatch-floor and generic-plus-scalars; nbody and fib stayed flat.
Monomorphic OP_SET_PROP_CONST sites now hit a shape-keyed write IC for ordinary own writable data, skipping the name hash on the hot store path used by Richards, Bounce, and Storage. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Combined re-measure stayed faster than the wave baseline; next free opcode is 231 so later format bumps do not collide. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Accepted isolated lane on optimize/inc-assign. Assignment matching stays ahead of OP_ADD_NUM_IMM so i = i + 1 remains a single increment.
Combined re-measure still beats the ADD_NUM_IMM head on the dispatch floor; assignment matching keeps the increment ahead of add-immediate. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Accepted isolated lane on optimize/write-ic with AWFY transfer on Richards, Bounce, and Storage. Read-side PIC is unchanged.
Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Combined AWFY still transfers on Richards, Bounce, and Storage against the inc-assign head; the dispatch-floor guard stayed flat. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Accepted isolated lane on optimize/counted-for-assign. For-loop matching can emit OP_ADD_INT for i = i + 1 updates that previously missed the counted-for path.
Combined remaining win on the dispatch floor is smaller than the isolated lane because increment assignment already landed first. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
nbody-minimal spends about 11% of pairs on GET_LOCAL then GET_PROP_CONST. One opcode removes that extra dispatch while reusing the existing shape-lite IC. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Accepted isolated lane on optimize/get-local-prop. Format bump is v79 because v78 already belongs to OP_ADD_NUM_IMM. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Format is v79 so it does not collide with OP_ADD_NUM_IMM; combined nbody stayed faster and propaccess transferred. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
The lane never produced a patch or A/B; counted-for already covers i = i + 1 as OP_ADD_INT, so a retry should aim at OP_LT_INT. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
Next lanes start from the stacked head; accepted ones will be combined, gated, and submitted as a native GitHub stack. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds a benchmark-gated runtime optimization workflow and documents its execution. It adds numeric-immediate arithmetic, fused local-property reads, expanded counted-loop fast paths, and guarded property-write inline caches with compiler, VM, bytecode, and test coverage. ChangesRuntime optimization workflow
Bytecode fast paths and runtime caches
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The optimization changes can alter program behavior for counted loops whose limits are mutated indirectly and for self-increment expressions involving const locals, while one regression test is currently invalid because it does not initialize the local slot it reads. The PR is not merge-ready until these correctness and test issues are fixed. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

15695-15776: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winConsider extracting the repeated literal-fast-path fallback.
The block

Inline comments:
In @.agent/HANDOFF.md:
- Line 131: Update the counted-for entry in HANDOFF.md to state that ascending
loops emit OP_ADD_INT while descending loops emit OP_SUB_INT, preserving the
existing details about loop matching and standalone assignments.
In `@AGENTS.md`:
- Line 67: Update the “Runtime optimization waves” entry in AGENTS.md to add a
brief usage pattern, such as when the optimize-runtime skill should be invoked
or an example request that triggers it, while preserving its existing purpose
and capability description.
In `@source/units/Goccia.Compiler.Expressions.pas`:
- Around line 2558-2580: Exclude Local.IsConst from the self-increment
specialization before its early exit or error handling, so const locals use the
generic expression-compilation path. Preserve the existing optimized path for
mutable locals and ensure const expressions evaluate AExpr.Value before applying
const-assignment behavior.
In `@source/units/Goccia.Compiler.Statements.pas`:
- Around line 3307-3325: The TryMatchCountedForLimit validation currently
permits global-backed limit bindings to use the snapshot-based counted path. Add
an early guard on LimitLocal.IsGlobalBacked before the existing IsConst check,
exiting the fast path so the loop test is reevaluated for those bindings.
In `@source/units/Goccia.VM.Test.pas`:
- Around line 416-421: Update the test setup around the fused
GET_LOCAL_PROP_CONST instruction to store the newly created object in local slot
0 before reading its property. Preserve the existing property assignment and
return-value assertions so the test verifies that the fused read returns 42.
