gc: js_headers_for_each/keys/values/entries hold heap pointers across allocations and a JS callback #8217

Found by code-reading crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/headers.rs while answering an ownership question during the #8163 residual hunt. Reachability on the Next App Route path is NOT proven — filing because the shape is unambiguous and it is the #7154 family, not because it is known to fire. Four sites, all in that one file:

1. js_headers_for_each — a raw closure pointer live across user JS

let cb_ptr = (cb_bits & 0x0000_FFFF_FFFF_FFFF) as i64;
let closure = cb_ptr as *const perry_runtime::ClosureHeader;
for (k, v) in entries {
    let v_ptr = js_string_from_bytes(...);   // allocates
    let k_ptr = js_string_from_bytes(...);   // allocates
    let v_nan = JSValue::string_ptr(v_ptr).bits();   // <-- v_ptr may have MOVED
    ...
    perry_runtime::js_closure_call2(closure, ...);   // <-- runs user JS; `closure` may have MOVED
}

Two defects in one loop:

• closure is a bare *const ClosureHeader in a Rust local, reused on every iteration, and js_closure_call2 runs user JS — so a collection during iteration n leaves every later iteration calling a pre-move address. A headers.forEach whose callback allocates is the trigger.
• v_ptr is allocated, then k_ptr is allocated (a second collection point), and only afterwards is v_ptr read into v_nan. A collection inside the k_ptr allocation moves the value string, and the callback receives a dangling one.

2–4. js_headers_keys / js_headers_values / js_headers_entries — the array is live across allocations

let mut arr = perry_runtime::js_array_alloc(entries.len() as u32);
for (k, _) in entries {
    let k_ptr = js_string_from_bytes(...);        // allocates -> can move `arr`
    arr = perry_runtime::js_array_push_f64(arr, ...);  // stale `arr`
}

arr is held across js_string_from_bytes. The arr = push(arr, …) idiom handles the array growing, not the collector moving it. js_headers_entries is the worst of the three: k_ptr is live across the v_ptr allocation, pair is live across two js_array_push_f64 calls (which allocate), and arr is live across the whole pair construction.

Why the existing instruments miss it

• scripts/gc_root_dominance_check.py reads emitted LLVM IR and is structurally blind — these are Rust runtime locals.
• scripts/gc_runtime_root_holders.py enumerates static declarations; these are stack locals, not declarations.
• The Next App Route fixture's cold-start loop runs zero copying minors in normal mode (measured, test(next): add the warm-process soak arm #8163's residual needs #8215), so it could not surface this even if the path were hot.

Fix shape

The same one #8131/#8211 applied elsewhere: RuntimeHandleScope + across_* around each allocation and each js_closure_call*, re-reading the closure pointer and the string/array pointers after every call that can collect. Note raw_handle_debt.py distinguishes reload shape (across_*) from argument position (with_*_ptr).

Coordination

crates/perry-stdlib/src/fetch/** was excluded from the #8163 residual hunt at my request; I have released it. If the hunt's own headers.rs change turns out to be a candidate fix that covers some of these, it should absorb them; if it is a throwaway instrument, these four still want fixing and I will take them.
