Per untyped `obj.prop`, `lower_generic_property_get` expanded 33 basic blocks, 191 pre-RS4GC IR instructions and SIX runtime call sites: an SSO arm, an INT32 class-ref arm, a nullish-throw arm, a non-object-receiver arm, an overflow-slot load, a deleted-slot miss, two Array-subclass named-prefix ladders, and the miss+prime. Every call is a statepoint, so `.text` and `.perry_gcmap` both scale with call sites x live GC values -- on @babel/parser that tower was 29% of all emitted IR across 6,487 sites. The hit is worth its bytes; the arms around it are not. What stays inline is what it was: the receiver-tag test, the small-handle test, the packed header kind/descriptor word, the packed-MRU compare, the overflow-bit test, the inline field load with its hole check, the polymorphic ways (PerryTS#7753), and the `.length`/`.size` short-circuits. Everything else branches to one of two new runtime entries that reproduce the arms in the same ORDER and with the same cache-priming decisions: js_object_get_field_ic_nonptr(obj_bits, key, site_id) the receiver-tag ladder -- SSO, INT32 class ref, nullish TypeError, and the by-name fallback for every other tag. Takes no cache: none of these arms can prime one. js_object_get_field_ic_slow(obj_handle, key, cache_slot, packed) the heap-pointer arms -- the overflow slot (including its fallback to the THREE-argument miss entry, i.e. WITHOUT republishing the packed word, which is what the old helper did), the deleted-slot miss, the Array-subclass named-prefix proof, and the priming `get_field_ic_miss_impl`. Per site: 33 -> 14 tower blocks, 191 -> 106 IR instructions, 6 -> 2 calls. @babel/parser .text -14.4%, .perry_gcmap -11.7%, O0-fallback units unchanged. TWO exits and not one, measured. With the receiver-tag test and the small-handle test failing to the SAME block, SimplifyCFG folds them into one flat predicate -- `cmp; sete; cmp; setae; test; je` where the chain was `cmp; jne; cmp; ja` -- and every property-read HIT pays +4.00 instructions on a 10M-read monomorphic loop. That is PerryTS#7883's flat-predicate cost arriving from the optimiser instead of from codegen. Distinct callees keep the chain branchy and let the unmasked receiver bits die in the entry block instead of living across the whole hit path. Three further shapes were needed to finish paying for the hit, each measured on the same 10M-read loop (instructions retired, mine vs base): * the field address is a typed `gep double` rather than `shl 3` + `add`. With an explicit shift the slot is the packed word's last use, so InstCombine folds `(packed >> 32) << 3` into `(packed >> 29) & mask` and isel pays a 10-byte `movabs` plus an `and`; as a GEP index there is no shift to fold and the scaled addressing mode survives. +3.00 -> +1.00 per hit. * the spill-buffer read moved into a `#[cold] #[inline(never)]` `overflow_arm`. Inlined, its `overflow_get` call forced the entry to save callee-saved registers, which gave it a frame and stopped the miss handler from being a sibling call. +49 -> +31 -> +20 per megamorphic miss (the first step was the exit split). * the named-prefix conjunction asks `ObjectMeta` first: that is one load from the header line the entry has already touched, against two dependent loads through the site's cache slot, and an object with no metadata record cannot carry the token. +20 -> +17 per miss. Final micro numbers, instructions retired per read vs base: monomorphic hit +1.00 (one `jmp`, because the hit's and the way's hole checks become congruent after their empty successors fold and SimplifyCFG tail-merges them -- fixing it needs `!prof` branch weights the IR builder cannot emit today), 4-shape polymorphic (the inline ways) -1.24, megamorphic miss +17.02. Registries updated with the new symbols: runtime declarations, the `cold` placement hint, the eh_mode throwing-callee assertion, gc_call_effects' allocating-helper list, and POLL_CAPABLE_RUNTIME in scripts/gc_root_dominance_check.py (both directions of its property-GET self-test fixture now run against both entries -- omitting them would silently re-open the PerryTS#7154 GET hole, since the calls they replaced no longer appear at those sites). `test-files/test_gap_generic_get_one_exit_arms.ts` is the behavioural witness: every arm that moved out of line, checked against node's own output. PERRY_IC_DIAG counters are identical between the two toolchains on a deterministic fixture (41,216 misses over 5 sites, same per-reason split, same 20,216 primes, same fresh/armed/megamorphic distribution), and the gap-suite subset (10 filters, 290 tests) has byte-identical verdicts.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Deoptimize before js_object_get_field_ic_nonptr.
Versioned callback bodies accept Type::Any property receivers and route non-pointer values through js_object_get_field_ic_nonptr. This path does not call emit_versioned_loop_callback_deopt, so the specialized loop can remain active while the fallback executes. Add the callback deopt before every path that reaches js_object_get_field_ic_nonptr. Keep the existing deopt before js_object_get_field_ic_slow.

Correct the emitted property-GET exit descriptions.
The generic tower emits both js_object_get_field_ic_slow and js_object_get_field_ic_nonptr. These comments incorrectly identify one exit or the retired packed entry as the complete current set.

Require Unknown for the getter-capable exits.
js_object_get_field_ic_slow reaches get_field_ic_miss_impl, which can reach the getter-capable by-name path. js_object_get_field_ic_nonptr calls that path directly. Because AllocNoReentry excludes getters and callbacks, both helpers must remain GcCallEffect::Unknown. The safepoint-only consumer can otherwise omit their safepoints.

lower_generic_property_get(expr/property_get/generic_dispatch.rs) emits, per untypedobj.propsite, a 33-block diamond with 6 runtime call sites: the SSO arm, the INT32 class-ref arm, the nullish throw, the non-object by-name fallback, the overflow-slot load, both Array-subclass named-prefix arms (plain and descriptor-bearing), the four polymorphic ways and the miss. Every call is a statepoint, so code and.perry_gcmapscale with call sites × live GC values. On @babel/parser that tower is 29 % of all pre-RS4GC IR (6,487 sites, 191 instructions each).Change
Per site, keep inline and unchanged: the tag test, the small-handle test, the packed header kind/descriptor test, the packed-MRU compare, the overflow-bit test, the inline field load and hole check, and the four polymorphic ways (they stay inline in this cut; moving them behind the call is a separate measurement). Everything else goes through two runtime entries in the new
object/field_get_set/ic_miss/ic_slow.rs:js_object_get_field_ic_nonptr(bits, key, site_id)— SSO / INT32 class-ref / nullish throw / other primitive, the routingjs_object_get_field_icalready had;js_object_get_field_ic_slow(handle, key, slot, packed)— for a pointer receiver that failed a guard: re-establishes kind/descriptor/stamp, serves the overflow slot (out-of-line#[cold]arm) and both named-prefix proofs, and otherwise runs the unchangedget_field_ic_miss_implwith the same priming, so cache decisions are identical.Why two exits and not one: with the receiver-tag test and the small-handle test failing to the same block, SimplifyCFG folds them into a flat predicate (
cmp; sete; cmp; setae; test; je), the #7883 cost arriving from the optimiser — measured +4.00 instructions on every hit. A distinct callee for the non-pointer arm keeps the guard chain branchy.Per site: 33 → 14 tower blocks, 191 → 106 IR instructions, 6 → 2 call sites.

jmp: after the empty successors fold, the hit's and the way's hole checks tail-merge; the fix needs!profbranch weights, which the IR builder cannot emit yet), 4-shape polymorphic −1.24, megamorphic +17.02 (the entry re-derives the guards because a failed guard does not say which one failed; base was +49 in the first cut). The field address is emitted as a typedgepso isel keeps the scaled addressing mode (shl+addlet InstCombine fold(packed>>32)<<3into a 10-bytemovabs+and).Registrations: both symbols in

Seven tests that named the retired symbols were retargeted, not relaxed (pic.missnow asserted to have exactly one predecessor; the PodView negative assertion had become vacuous and now names the live symbols); a new ratchet pins the exact call set and block set of the tower. New gap testtest-files/test_gap_generic_get_one_exit_arms.tsexercises every moved arm (SSO, heap string, class ref, primitives, Map/Set, array length, delete-hole, overflow and its delete, prototype chain, accessor, both nullish TypeErrors, the ways) against Node; PASS on base and on this branch.Evidence (x86-64, perrymaster, base = b5a82cf)
