Fixes the node-suite/module/methods/sync-builtin-exports row in #9202.

Perry used the same property getter for named ESM imports and the mutable CommonJS/default namespace. A write such as require("node:fs").readFile = replacement therefore changed the named readFile binding immediately, before syncBuiltinESMExports() ran. Direct named calls also bypassed the binding through native dispatch after synchronization.

Give named imports a separate snapshot-backed getter, initialize their export cells during module instantiation, and refresh those cells only from syncBuiltinESMExports(). Modules that import the sync API route direct named calls through the ESM cell, while default and namespace imports keep observing CommonJS writes immediately.

Validation:

  • full perry-runtime suite: 3,256 passed, 4 ignored; doc tests 8 ignored
  • full perry-hir suite, plus rebased focused HIR regression
  • exact strengthened parity row: 1/1 passed
  • complete node-suite/module/methods: 6/6 passed
  • prior perf(codegen): unboxed reduce accumulators in packed fast clones #9091 native-member patch regression: 1/1 passed
  • scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: all 66 gates passed; 2 CI-only commands skipped
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check and git diff --check

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Named imports from Node.js built-in modules now retain their ESM export values until syncBuiltinESMExports() is called.
    • Updated synchronization behavior ensures CommonJS namespace changes propagate correctly to ESM named imports.
    • Added coverage confirming synchronized imports invoke updated built-in exports as expected.
  • Tests

    • Expanded validation for named imports, default imports, and export synchronization behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Named imports from Node builtins now use snapshot-backed ESM export cells. CommonJS namespace reads retain write-observing behavior. Named calls use the ESM binding path, and tests verify synchronization through syncBuiltinESMExports().

Changes

Builtin export synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime export resolution
crates/perry-codegen/src/runtime_decls/objects.rs, crates/perry-runtime/src/object/native_module.rs
The runtime declares and implements a separate named ESM export resolver. Mutable namespace reads continue to observe CommonJS writes.
Named import cell initialization
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/lower_expr/helpers.rs, crates/perry-hir/src/lower/module_decl.rs, crates/perry-hir/src/lower/module_decl/static_import_bindings.rs
Named Node builtin imports initialize ESM export cells and read them through js_native_module_named_esm_export_value. Default imports retain property access behavior.
Named import call dispatch
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_call/native_module.rs, crates/perry-hir/src/lower/expr_call/mod.rs
Direct calls to eligible named Node builtin imports use the ESM binding instead of native-module dispatch.
Synchronization validation
crates/perry-hir/src/lower/tests.rs, crates/perry-hir/src/lower/tests/native_module_sync.rs, test-parity/node-suite/module/methods/sync-builtin-exports.ts, changelog.d/9944-module-sync-builtin-exports.md
HIR and parity tests validate named export lookup and propagation after syncBuiltinESMExports(). The changelog records the behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bf874

Named imports such as fs.promises and util.types can remain stale after syncBuiltinESMExports(), leaving a Node compatibility gap that should be fixed before merge.

Initialize routed named object exports through an ESM cell.

Line 16 excludes named imports whose routed native_method is None. This includes import { promises } from "node:fs" and import { types } from "node:util".

Those bindings are lowered as NativeModuleRef values. They never enter NATIVE_ESM_EXPORT_VALUES, so syncBuiltinESMExports() cannot refresh them after a CommonJS property replacement. Preserve the original named-export identity and lower these imports through the snapshot-backed getter while retaining submodule member dispatch.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the exact ESM-cell arguments and order.

dump.matches(...) >= 2 only checks the helper count. A wrong module/property pair can pass. The existing exact HIR test covers only path.relative, and the parity test does not observe the discarded cell initialization for syncBuiltinESMExports. Match the Expr::Call nodes and assert both argument pairs and that initialization occurs before readFile(). This test runs under CI's cargo test -p perry-hir target, so this is required regression coverage.

Review of bf874497ebc3b73221a19f3e2dd8196cd7db1bc9 (2026-09-07).

Blocking correctness gap: named_import_call_needs_esm_binding only enables the binding-based call when the current lowering context contains a named import of syncBuiltinESMExports. Synchronization affects builtin ESM bindings across modules. A module that exports function read() { return readFile(...); } and only imports readFile still emits the native call even when its caller patches fs and synchronizes. The same gap occurs with import * as module from "node:module"; module.syncBuiltinESMExports(), since method is None. Please remove the local named-import heuristic or replace it with a sound whole-program proof, and add a two-source-module regression plus namespace/default/require spellings of the sync API. The new single-module fixture only exercises the heuristic's positive case.

Validation scope: source/diff inspection; I have not run this PR's build or test suite locally.
