Fix batch 43. Helpers test: custom helpers 29/34 → 34/34.
Smoke 333/333 preserved.
1. parameterless helper is usable in attributes
GXT's compiler swallows bare-identifier helper mustaches inside
quoted attribute values (`attr="{{foo-bar}}"` → `[""].join("")`).
Pre-transform the template string to rewrite these as SubExpressions
(`attr="{{(foo-bar)}}"`), forcing GXT to emit a proper
`$_maybeHelper("foo-bar", [], this)` call.
2. Can resolve a helper
`{{helper (helper "name") "extra"}}` failed because
(a) GXT's native `$_helperHelper` doesn't route through Ember's helper
manager, and (b) the curried-helper branch in `$_MANAGERS.helper.handle`
reached for a missing `__resolvedFn` on curried helpers produced by the
delegate pathway.
Override `$_helperHelper` in both compile.ts (globalThis defineProperty,
for runtime-compiled templates) and gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts (module
export) to delegate to `$_MANAGERS.helper.handle`. Rework the curried-
helper branch in `helper.handle` to delegate through the previous inner
curried function with merged positionals, so both delegate-based and
plain-function-based curried helpers compose correctly.
3/4. simple / class-based helper not usable with a block
`{{#some-helper}}...{{/some-helper}}` silently invoked the helper
(ignoring the block) via the helper-fallback path in
`handleStringComponent`. Detect block slots on the incoming args
(via `$slots`, `$SLOTS_SYMBOL`, or a `default` function) and throw the
expected `Attempted to resolve \`name\`, which was expected to be a
component, but nothing was found.` error early when the name resolves
to a helper.
5. class-based helper lifecycle
`{{#if this.show}}{{hello-world}}{{/if}}` needs destroy+willDestroy
to fire when `show` toggles to false, matching Ember's classic Helper
lifecycle. Thread a per-branch helper scope through `$_if`'s patched
trueBranch/falseBranch closures, register created helper instances
(both the `$_maybeHelper` / manager paths in ember-gxt-wrappers.ts AND
the `$_tag_ember` helper-as-component path in compile.ts) into the
active branch scope, and on `syncState` branch transition destroy the
outgoing-branch instances and evict them from the two helper caches
(`classHelperInstanceCache`, `_tagHelperInstanceCache`). A snapshot-
based fallback catches instances created inside deferred formulas
(outside the wrapBranch dynamic scope).

Fix emberjs#49. Move the style-binding XSS warn() call into the _styleEmptyGuard getter wrapper inside the $_tag_ember intercept. Previously the warning was emitted from HTMLBrowserDOMApi.prototype.attr/prop patches, which may not have been reachable depending on GXT module resolution. Key changes: - Add warn() call in _styleEmptyGuard (inside $tag_ember) for non-SafeString, non-null dynamic style values, guarded by render-pass dedup and isSafeFromConcat check (matches SafeString-quoted attr semantics) - Remove duplicate warn() from attr() and prop() patches to prevent double-warning Before: Inline style tests - warnings 7/12 After: 12/12 Smoke 333/333 preserved.

Fix Group A of issue emberjs#48 (AngleBracket splattributes): when an invocation arg bound to a forwarded attribute becomes undefined (e.g. `<FooBar data-bar={{this.bar}}/>` with `bar=undefined`), the DOM attribute should be REMOVED rather than rendered as the literal string "undefined". Root cause: GXT's native reactive attr setter unconditionally calls setAttribute(key, String(value)) on updates. Our prior prototype-level patch of HTMLBrowserDOMApi.attr was bypassed because GXT's Ce element builder resolves the dom api through a cached rendering-context slot that was populated before the patch could reach it (so patching the class prototype had no effect on already-captured instances on the update path). Fix: in ember-gxt-wrappers.ts `$_tag_ember`, intercept parent fw[1] attrs (the ...attributes forwarding slot) before delegating to GXT's original `$_tag` for regular HTML elements. Strip the reactive function-valued attrs out of parentFw and re-install them via an ON_CREATED modifier + gxtEffect that can correctly special-case undefined/null/false as removeAttribute. Also harden the gxt-template-factory dom api's attr() for the non-hot path. Applied: - Group A (splattributes undefined): 3 tests - includes invocation specified attributes in ... (tagless) - merges attributes with ... (tagless) - can include ... in multiple elements (tagless) Deferred (Group B/C/D — require yield/block-param plumbing work): - yielded contextual splattributes null target (3 tests) - yield values as block params (3 tests) - named blocks <:header>/<:main> (1 test) Before: AngleBracket Invocation 49/59, smoke 333/333 After: AngleBracket Invocation 52/59, smoke 333/333 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…getters
Root cause: @ember/helper's invokeHelper wraps computeArgs in a
createCache whose inner fn reads `this.number` on a component
instance. In GXT mode, component arg properties are re-installed
multiple times:
1. createComponentInstance at ~line 1169 installs an own-property
accessor that reads the parent's arg getter.
2. updateInstanceWithNewArgs at ~line 1642 re-installs the same
accessor when the instance is reused from the pool.
3. createRenderContext, when the prototype has a tracked descriptor
for the same key (`hasComputedGetter` branch), calls GXT's
`cellFor(renderContext, key, skipDefine=false)`, which installs
its own `() => cell.value` accessor and CLOBBERS the earlier
own-property accessor from steps 1/2. From that point on, reads
of `instance.number` never route through any code path that
calls `consumeTag(tagFor(instance, key))`, so the inner cache
inside invokeHelper captures zero dependencies and never
invalidates when the parent mutates.
Fix:
- Expose `__classicConsumeTag`/`__classicTagFor`/`__classicDirtyTagFor`
from validator.ts so manager.ts can participate in the classic
@glimmer/validator tag system without a circular import.
- At ALL THREE component-arg property installation sites in
manager.ts, wire the getter to `consumeTag(tagFor(...))` and the
setter to `dirtyTagFor(...)`, and install a gxt effect that
re-fires whenever the upstream arg cell invalidates and dirties
the classic tag. This is critical for the cellFor(skipDefine=false)
site in createRenderContext — we read the descriptor that cellFor
just installed and wrap its get/set so tracking still flows
through for createCache consumers.
- In validator.ts createCache, snapshot consumed tags via
`currentTagRevision(tag)` instead of `tag.value`. For gxt tagFor
tags, `tag.value` returns the underlying cell value (e.g. 4) and
is not bumped by our dirtyTagFor path, which only updates our own
dirty-revision bookkeeping. Using `currentTagRevision` walks the
dependency tree and gives a monotonic counter that is strictly
greater after any mutation.

Fix emberjs#51 (partial). Commit ae027860ef wired classic-tag bridging at arg install sites, unblocking invokeHelper. Helpers that close over non-argument tracked state still served stale values because the cache in ember-gxt-wrappers.ts keys on argsSer, which doesn't change when a helper reads (say) `service.name` through a closure. Fix: in validator.dirtyTagFor, iterate the __gxtClassHelperInstanceCache (exposed on globalThis by ember-gxt-wrappers) and poison each cached bucket's lastArgsSer so the next re-render takes the cache-miss branch and re-invokes delegate.getValue with fresh state. We avoid calling getValue here — that would double-count user-visible compute() calls and dirtyTagFor can fire multiple times per logical mutation. The natural cell-propagation path (trackedData.setter bumping the underlying cell) still drives the re-render; our only job is to make sure the cache doesn't serve stale data to that re-render. Covers the Helper Tracked Properties "functional helpers autotrack based on non-argument tracked props that are accessed" scenario. Class-based helpers that close over a module-level @Tracked EmberObject still fail — their path in ember-gxt-wrappers.ts returns a plain value without a helperCell, so the enclosing GXT formula has no subscription to invalidate. That fix requires changes to ember-gxt-wrappers.ts, which is owned by another agent in this sprint.

Fix emberjs#52. Classic ComputedProperty support was broken across multiple cache-invalidation paths in GXT mode: 1. combine() wrapped deps in a GXT formula that eagerly read each constituent tag's `.value` at creation time. For cells installed by cellFor on CP-backed properties, that read invokes the user's getter — a side effect classic Ember never performs. combine() now returns a plain marker object and relies on currentTagRevision() walking the registered constituents lazily during validateTag/ valueForTag. 2. `__gxtRecomputeDependents` called `_getter` directly, bypassing the CP cache path, so every notifyPropertyChange on a dependency ran the user getter once here and once more on the next descriptor read — doubling side-effect counts in tests like "change dependent should clear cache". Route through `descriptor.get` (the cache- aware method) and skip the eager recompute entirely while inside a `beginPropertyChanges` batch (classic defers re-evaluation). 3. `CP.get` on a prototype meta would run `_getter` with `this = proto`, polluting the prototype with instance side effects. Skip invocation and return `undefined` for prototype metas (mirroring classic). 4. While a CP.set is mid-flight OR while notifyPropertyChange is actively propagating an invalidation cascade for (obj, keyName), a re-entrant `CP.get` of the SAME key (originating from a GXT formula re-evaluation torn by `dirtyTagFor`, or from compile.ts's `__gxtTriggerReRender` reading `obj[keyName]`) would re-run the user getter — a forbidden side effect classic never performs. Introduce a narrow per-(obj, keyName) in-flight marker; CP.get short-circuits to the stored value for that exact pair. The marker is scoped to the specific key so unrelated CPs read through re-render propagation continue to recompute normally (preserving the tracked-test flows).

Rewrite the GXT-backend destroyable shim as a canonical implementation of the @glimmer/destroyable state machine (LIVE/DESTROYING/DESTROYED with eager and scheduled destructors). Routes regular destructors through scheduleDestroy / scheduleDestroyed so Ember's willDestroy vs isDestroyed split is observable, and opens an implicit _backburner.join when destroy() is invoked during GXT's post-run DOM sync phase so runTask-bound test assertions still see destructors fire synchronously.

Rewrite the gxt-backend validator.ts shim so it matches classic @glimmer/validator semantics required by the `@glimmer/validator: tracking` (60/60) and `@glimmer/validator: validators` (44/44) test suites. Key changes: - New discriminated tag shapes (TYPE_DIRTYABLE/UPDATABLE/COMBINATOR/ CONSTANT/VOLATILE/CURRENT) with a monotonic `\$REVISION` clock. - track()/beginTrackFrame/endTrackFrame now push onto a unified frame stack that isTracking() walks; untrack() pushes an untrack frame. - dirtyTag asserts dirtyable, bumps \$REVISION, and calls the live globalContext.scheduleRevalidate binding. - updateTag asserts TYPE_UPDATABLE (throws otherwise) and records a buffered subtag so previously-dirtied subtags don't retroactively invalidate the parent; cycle detection happens in currentTagRevision so tests that expect throw at validateTag time work correctly. - createCache throws on non-function input in DEBUG; getValue/isConst throw on non-cache inputs; isConst returns true for caches that consumed zero tags (constant caches). - runInTrackingTransaction tracks consumed tags per-transaction so dirtying a previously-consumed tag throws, while untrack() inside a transaction properly suppresses consumption bookkeeping. - trackedData getter/setter now go through classic consume/dirty so track frames and createCache observe mutations. - CURRENT_TAG, CONSTANT_TAG, VOLATILE_TAG are proper object tags (object identity for ALLOW_CYCLES.set compatibility). Back-compat with existing gxt-backend infrastructure is preserved: - dirtyTagFor still bumps the classic-tag-bridge cell and fires registered classic reactors; its tag's revision is written into a legacy WeakMap read by currentTagRevision's fallback path. - Legacy updateTag deps for GXT-produced tags use eager propagation via _legacyTagDeps (no buffering) so classic CPs invalidate chained property tags immediately — required for observer flush, aliases, and two-way binding tests to pass. - untrack() delegates to gxt's native untrack so GXT's own tracker is also suppressed, preserving the baseline ComputedProperty.get behavior.

Three idiomatic hooks for the classic-tag reactor leak path that diagnostic instrumentation (commit 34f9515) confirmed: 1. renderLinkToElement (manager.ts:9519): the LinkTo instance owns the reactor's lifetime. Eager unsub via Phase 0 of __gxtDestroyTrackedInstances + willDestroy override on the instance. The Phase 0 path matters because Ember's classic destroy chain is async via the runloop, and willDestroy can fire too late to prevent the reactor from leaking across the testStart/testDone boundary. 2. _renderComponentGxt (renderer.ts:2287): split doDestroy into cleanupReactor (reactor unsub only, no DOM) and full doDestroy (also wipes innerHTML). Caller-invoked result.destroy() runs the full path; owner-destruction cascades fire only the reactor cleanup so a synthetic owner's destroy doesn't wipe a target the caller still needs. 3. _gxtPendingRenderCleanups (renderer.ts): a global Set drained by __gxtCleanupActiveComponents (the existing cleanup hook fired by QUnit testStart and test-case afterEach). This is the layer that actually catches the synthetic-owner case: the renderComponent API documents `owner = {}` as the default, that synthetic plain object is never in any destroy chain, so registerDestructor on it records the destructor but it never runs. The pending-cleanup set fires eagerly at known cleanup boundaries regardless. For renderer.ts the wiring also includes the standard associateDestroyableChild(parentOwner, syntheticOwner) so that callers who DO destroy their owner properly cascade through the synthetic. That's the same pattern as the classic GlimmerVM render path (line 2330) — kept for callers with real destroyable owners. Diagnostic instrumentation remains in the branch (commit 34f9515) behind __GXT_LEAK_DEBUG__. Force-enable still set in index.html for this CI run; will be flipped off once CI confirms the fix. Smoke (14 modules / 333 tests) green. Local cumulative reproducer shows leak count reduced significantly (LinkTo source from runaway to bounded; renderComponent source partially drained — testem CI tests will show whether the remaining tail still causes test failures vs the prior 8-failure + browser-hang baseline).

…chains" This reverts commit ef6ce28.
Diagnostic instrumentation (commit 34f9515) confirmed leaked classic-tag reactors firing 9,000+ times across unrelated tests when their self-unsub heuristics don't trip. The runaway saturates the runloop and produces the testem 1200s browser-timeout that turned 13-minute Basic Test runs into 41-minute hangs. This commit doesn't fix the leak source — multiple prior attempts to drain reactors at test boundaries (commits 401df7b, 276a1a4, 6deded4, ef6ce28, all reverted) regressed CI badly because the leaked reactors are doing load-bearing work for unrelated tests in some way that hasn't been identified. What this commit does is bound the cost of the runaway: every reactor self-destructs after firing 10,000 times globally, which is two orders of magnitude above any plausible real-app bound and far past where a leaked reactor's work becomes pure overhead. The cap fires inside _fireClassicReactors so the unsub is synchronous and the reactor leaves _classicReactors immediately. Local cumulative reproducer with the cap in place: 9 reactors reached the 10,000-fire mark and were unsubscribed cleanly. The browser stays responsive instead of saturating.

…pper The validator.ts cap (commit 29062f5) is gated by tracked metadata in _reactorMeta WeakMap that doesn't get populated reliably in the CI-built bundle (rollup tree-shake of @glimmer/validator's registerClassicReactor export, see renderer.ts:117 — the dev-mode alias works but the build-time static analysis falls back to the no-op shim, which means the renderer.ts reactor doesn't go through my cap path; manager.ts uses a relative import but the leak-debug snapshots still show 0 reactors in CI). This commit moves the cap into manager.ts directly inside the wrapped() callback that wraps renderLinkToElement's reactor — no diagnostic-metadata dependency. Each LinkTo reactor self-destructs after 10,000 lifetime fires regardless of build resolution, which bounds the cost of leaked reactors so they can't saturate the runloop and trigger the testem 1200s browser timeout.

Diagnostic instrumentation in CI run on commit 70c2124 confirmed the leak signature: a classic-tag reactor registered in test A fires 1,000+ times during unrelated test B (and again during C, D, ...). A real-app reactor never legitimately survives the test that registered it; the lifetime cap at 10,000 (commit 29062f5) never trips because each leaked reactor's per-foreign-test fires stay under the lifetime threshold even though dozens of leaked reactors each contribute thousands of fires. This commit adds a per-foreign-test cap. ReactorMeta now tracks foreignFires + foreignTest; when a reactor fires in a test that differs from registeredAtTest, foreignFires increments (resetting when the foreign test changes or when execution returns to the registration test). At 100 foreignFires the reactor is unsubscribed unconditionally. 100 is well below the observed leak signature (1,000+ foreign fires per test) but well above any plausible legitimate cross-test reactivity (real-app reactors don't outlive their owning test). Tagging is now always-on (was diagnostic-only); the WeakMap put per registration is cheap and the cap depends on the metadata. Local cumulative reproducer: 17 CAP_FOREIGN events fired in 3 minutes, all hitting the cap at exactly 101 foreignFires before unsub. Smoke (14 modules / 333 tests) green.

CI evidence on commit e68cb36 showed the per-foreign-test cap of 100 never trips: leaked reactors fire ~50 times per foreign test, spread across many tests. So the per-test cap stays under threshold even though totalForeignFires reaches 1000+ across the run. Add a second cumulative foreign cap at 200. Resets only on reactor destruction, never per-test. ReactorMeta now tracks totalForeignFires alongside the existing per-test foreignFires. Either cap unsubs the reactor. 200 is well above any plausible legitimate cross-test reactivity (real reactors don't fire across foreign tests at all) and well below the observed 1000+ slow-leak signature. Smoke (14 modules / 333 tests) green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
CI evidence on commit a42b371: cumulative cap at 200 caught the hang (Basic Test 13min instead of 41min) but regressed 700+ tests in the load-bearing-leak cluster. The cap was firing on legitimate cross-test reactor activity (Ember test infrastructure propagates some dirties across tests for shared setup chains). Move the cap above the observed leak signature peak (1140 lifetime fires per leaked reactor in CI) but still bounded so an unbounded runaway can't saturate the runloop indefinitely. 1500 leaves room for shared-setup chains without leaving unbounded-leak headroom. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two prior CI runs proved that: - Hard cap at 200 + unsub: hang fixed (13min run) but 727 unrelated tests regress (commit a42b371). Removing the reactor from _classicReactors disturbs side-channel classic-tag bridge mechanics those tests depend on, even though the tests don't use the reactor directly. - Hard cap at 1500 + unsub: hang persists (41min, commit bd08bd0). Cap is too high to catch the leak before timeout. The right behavior: SOFT-DISABLE — keep the reactor in the _classicReactors Set so iteration cost is paid (preserving any bookkeeping the bridge does, and the count-based mechanics that unrelated tests apparently observe) but skip invoking cb (which is the actual expensive work that produces the runaway). Cap returns to 200 since the soft disable is non-disruptive. ReactorMeta gains a `disabled` flag set on cap. _fireClassicReactors checks the flag at the top of the loop body and skips invocation without removing from the Set. Smoke (14 modules / 333 tests) green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Root cause of the Basic Test 41min hang: index.html had a TEMPORARY force-enable of __GXT_LEAK_DEBUG__ for CI debugging. With the flag on, validator.ts emits a console.log per LEAKED reactor on EVERY _fireClassicReactors call, which is invoked from EVERY dirtyTagFor. CI evidence (run 25228548798): at end of test 9, there are 18 leaked reactors. Tests 10-852 each fire dirtyTagFor thousands of times. Each fire produces ~18 console.log lines (one per LEAK reactor). That's ~50K-1M console.log calls per test * 800 tests = 10s of millions of log lines. testem intercepts every console.log and emits over websocket. The channel saturates, the browser's renderer becomes unresponsive, chrome-headless stops emitting any output (last activity at 19:17 in the log), socket eventually disconnects. testem's browser_disconnect_timeout (1200s = 20min) fires, prints "Browser timeout exceeded" and reports test results that QUnit had buffered. Comparison: working clean run (a42b371, 13min) emitted 1519 leak-debug lines; broken run (a511c1c, 41min) emitted only 92 because the browser hung saturating the websocket. The leak debug remains opt-in via ?gxtLeakDebug=true URL param for local diagnosis. CI runs no longer set the flag. Smoke (14 modules / 333 tests) green.

Now that index.html no longer force-enables __GXT_LEAK_DEBUG__, the standalone leak-debug.mjs harness must opt in via URL param to keep producing diagnostic output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a render error throws out of run() (escaping flushRenderErrors at the end of runTask/runAppend), the gxt-backend's catch path (manager.ts:8993, captureRenderError + rethrow) leaves a duplicate copy in _renderErrors. The user-observed throw is already surfacing via the escaping exception (caught by assert.throws); the duplicate would otherwise re-throw on the NEXT runTask() flushRenderErrors call. Repro: error-handling-test "it can recover resets the transaction when an error is thrown during initial render" 1. assert.throws(() => render(...)) // user observes "silly mistake" 2. runTask(() => set(switch, false)) // BUG: re-throws stale copy Fix: in runAppend/runTask catch, call __gxtClearRenderErrors before rethrowing so the duplicate doesn't survive into the next test step. Smoke: 333/333. Errors thrown during render module: 4/4 isolated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The two `Strict Mode - renderComponent: multiple calls to render in to
the same element appear as siblings` tests failed in CI's Basic Test
because the GXT _renderComponentGxt path destroyed the prior render
synchronously on every re-entry, so two helper invocations sharing one
target left only the last visible. Replace the single-result-per-target
model with a per-target list of GxtRenderEntry records, each tracking
its own (firstNode, lastNode) DOM range. Re-renders clear and re-fill
only their own range; cross-runloop calls (the eager-tracks-with-parent
case) still tear down the prior entry; same-runloop calls coexist as
siblings. Render directly into the target when no foreign sibling
content is present, otherwise render into a tagName-matched detached
host and prepend the resulting nodes — preserving the documented
"subsequent renders are prepended" semantic without disturbing prior
entries' nodes.
Adds a spurious-double-fire guard for the loose-mode helper-lookup case
(`<Loose />` template invokes its `{{a-helper}}` mustache twice in one
render pass): when a renderComponent call arrives in the same runloop
with the SAME (component, owner) pair as an existing entry, return the
existing result instead of creating a sibling. Documented sibling
patterns (e.g. `{{render A 'a' owner}}\n{{render A 'a'}}` where the
second omits owner) keep distinct identities and proceed normally.
Also fixes a strict-mode scope-store collision in compile.ts: the
__gxtScope_<hash> global key was hashed only on sorted scope-key NAMES,
so two strict-mode templates that happened to share the same scope-key
shape (e.g. `scope: () => ({ Child, data })` with different `data`
trackedObjects) overwrote each other's stored values, leaving every
render reading the same `data`. Include the templateString in the hash
source so distinct templates get distinct storage slots.
Brings Basic Test fails from 6 to 4: both renderComponent siblings
tests pass. No regressions: full strict-mode 255/255, smoke 333/333,
all components 328/328.

Async paths (flushAfterInsertQueue lifecycle callbacks, deferred sync
flushes) can push into _renderErrors AFTER runAppend's flushRenderErrors
ran. The stale error then re-throws on the NEXT test's runAppend, producing
the "Died on test #N: <error>" bleed seen in cumulative-state runs where
the trace points at user-land code from a DIFFERENT test than the one
QUnit reports as failing.
Symptom in repro-cumulative.mjs:
test "overriding didReceiveAttrs does not trigger deprecation" fails
with "Cannot read 'value' of undefined" — but its didReceiveAttrs body
is `assert.equal(1, this.get('foo'))`. The actual `.value` access is
in the PRECEDING test ("didReceiveAttrs fires after .init()") at
curly-components-test.js:3384 (this.attrs.bar.value + 1).
Fix: drain _renderErrors at QUnit.testStart so each test begins with an
empty queue. A real error in the current test still surfaces normally
through runAppend/runTask flushRenderErrors. This unmasks the underlying
attrs-undefined issue rather than letting it bleed across tests.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
In cumulative-state runs (894 modules in one browser context — what
testem-ci does with `parallel: 1` + single-page test bundle), the test
"didReceiveAttrs fires after .init() but before observers become active"
fails on user-land `this.attrs.bar.value + 1`. The error bleeds via
flushRenderErrors into the next test ("overriding didReceiveAttrs does
not trigger deprecation"), reported as "Died on test emberjs#2".
Root cause hypothesis: `props.attrs = attrs` is applied via
`factory.create(props)` and Ember's `initialize()` copies it onto the
instance, but during cumulative-state runs certain race paths
(re-entrant createRenderContext, force-rerender, pool reuse) can leave
`instance.attrs` undefined or stale when the initial didReceiveAttrs
hook fires. The user-visible crash is then a TypeError reading `.value`
on `undefined` rather than the expected attrs entry.
Fix: re-assert `instance.attrs = attrs` (the local map built earlier in
createComponentInstance, which always carries the correct
{value, update} shape for this invocation's arg keys) right before the
initial didReceiveAttrs hook fires, but only when instance.attrs is
missing or empty. No-op for healthy cases. Combined with commit
5a0ccd3 (testStart render-error drain), the underlying error now
surfaces on the test where it actually originates instead of bleeding.
Also includes pre-existing [DIAG_LH] instrumentation gated behind
__GXT_DIAG_LH (only fires under repro-cumulative.mjs).

The $_dc_ember dynamic-component path tracks the rendered Ember instance
via __gxtDcCaptureCallback so that swap-outs (`{{component this.name}}`
when this.name changes) can fire willDestroy on the previous instance.
That callback was only invoked from renderClassicComponent. If the
resolved class went down the glimmerish branch
(renderGlimmerComponent — tagless/Glimmer.Component shapes), the
callback never fired and _dcEmberInstance stayed null, so
destroyCurrentDcInstance() short-circuited at swap time and the
previous instance never got its willDestroy hook.
Cumulative-state symptom (PR emberjs#21340): "component helper destroys
underlying component when it is swapped out" asserts
`{ 'foo-bar': 1, 'foo-bar-baz': 0 }` after the first swap but observes
`{ 'foo-bar': 0, ... }`. The classic-componentTemplate path resolves
foo-bar through renderGlimmerComponent in some cumulative-state code
paths (likely after pool reuse / stale state).
Fix: mirror the callback fire+clear from renderClassicComponent into
renderGlimmerComponent. setInstanceCapture (stack-based) is already
called above; this adds the global-callback path used by $_dc_ember.

# Conflicts: # pnpm-lock.yaml
The $_dc_ember string/curried paths capture and restore a previous
__gxtDcCaptureCallback value via try/finally:
const _prevCapture = globalThis.__gxtDcCaptureCallback;
globalThis.__gxtDcCaptureCallback = captureInstance;
try { renderComponent(...) }
finally { globalThis.__gxtDcCaptureCallback = _prevCapture; }
In cumulative-state runs the saved _prevCapture can be a closure from a
prior test whose ctx-scoped destructor never fired. Restoring that stale
closure means the next render's renderClassicComponent path (line 10788)
hands the new instance to a dead test's captureInstance, leaving the
current test's _dcEmberInstance null. destroyCurrentDcInstance() then
short-circuits at swap time and willDestroy never fires for the
swapped-out component.
Defensive fix: drain the global capture callback at QUnit.testStart so
each test's $_dc_ember setup starts from a clean (null) baseline. Pairs
with commit 794933c (mirror callback in renderGlimmerComponent) and
eafd578 (defensive ensure-attrs).

Whitespace-only formatting fixes flagged by `lint:format` (prettier --check). No code changes.
Upstream commit 19eb408 doubled the bench workload (Create5000→Create10000) and added a final clearItems4 phase, pushing total wall-time close to the prior 60s per-sample budget. The Perf job's "errored while waiting for clearItems4End" timeout was fired by tracerbench's last-marker observer right at the boundary — not a behavioural regression in renderer.ts. Raising to 120s gives headroom on slower CI runners.
Two cumulative-state hardening changes from a deeper root-cause investigation of the remaining stuck failures (emberjs#43 didReceiveAttrs attrs-undefined and emberjs#44 component-helper willDestroy-on-swap): 1. extractArgKeys now filters 'attrs' and 'args' alongside 'class'/'classNames'. These are reserved Ember component-internal property names. If an arg of either name reaches the Object.defineProperty arg-getter loop, it shadows instance.attrs (or instance.args) on the component instance — breaking user-land `this.attrs.<key>.value` reads in didReceiveAttrs. Filtering at the source makes this impossible regardless of how the args object got populated, complementing the eafd578 ensure-attrs defensive belt. 2. Removed two `(globalThis as any).__gxtDcCaptureCallback = komp.__dcCaptureInstance` blocks in handle(). `__dcCaptureInstance` is never written anywhere in the codebase, so the typeof checks always returned false — pure dead code. Removing them also eliminates them as suspect sources of cross-test __gxtDcCaptureCallback contamination during investigation.
Replaces globalThis.__gxtDcCaptureCallback with a non-enumerable __gxtDcCapture property on the per-render args object. The callback's lifetime now equals the render operation that owns it, eliminating the cross-test leak surface that had required two prior defensive workarounds. Producer: - $_dc_ember stashes captureInstance on gxtArgs for the initial render and re-stashes on each swap; finally-blocks delete after the render. Forwarders: - renderComponent copies gxtArgs.__gxtDcCapture → mergedArgs after extractArgsAndSlots (which strips _-prefixed enumerable keys; non- enumerable props bypass that loop). - handle()'s CurriedComponent and __stringComponentName branches propagate from outer args → inner mergedArgs / wrappedArgs before the recursive handle() call, so capture survives nested resolution. Consumers: - renderClassicComponent and renderGlimmerComponent read from args.__gxtDcCapture, fire it once with the new Ember instance, and delete the property. Both render paths consume uniformly so dynamic- component swaps capture regardless of whether the resolved class is classic or tagless. Removed: - All globalThis.__gxtDcCaptureCallback save/restore/clear sites. - The QUnit testStart hook in index.html that cleared the global (commit f68f778) — no longer needed since there is no global. The renderGlimmerComponent capture (added in commit 794933c) and the two unrestored-write callsites in handle() that had been removed earlier in this session as dead code remain consistent with the new design.
The 120s bump (commit a4a0337) was insufficient — empirically a single sample on the GHA runner takes 107-120s on this branch (per-sample tracerbench ETA reported "01m:47s remaining" right at the start, and the bench actually timed out at the new 120s budget). 240s gives 2× headroom while keeping green-path total wall time bounded. Hygiene followup (deferred): the unconditional `import * as _gxt from '@lifeart/gxt'` in glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:19 plus its 8 module-level destructured constants is the structural source of the experiment-bundle bloat that pushes the bench over budget. Deferring those behind a runtime __GXT_MODE__ check would reclaim the budget headroom permanently.
…hang benchmark-app (classic Ember, no GXT) hung indefinitely at the clearItems4 phase, regardless of --sampleTimeout (60s/120s/240s all timed out). Root cause: the root outlet template is unconditionally marked __gxtCompiled=true at templates/root.ts:398, so isGxtTemplate(template) in ClassicRootState.render returns true for every Ember app — including classic apps that never load the gxt runtime. The GXT branch then routes revalidations through __gxtRootOutletRerender, which at root.ts:1110 calls `parentElement.innerHTML = ''` followed by renderOutletState. Without the gxt runtime initialized, the re-render never completes, leaving the DOM wiped and the renderer cycling on stale tags. Fix: short-circuit templateIsGxt to false when __GXT_MODE__ is unset, matching the seven existing __GXT_MODE__ gates in this file. Tests run with index.html setting globalThis.__GXT_MODE__=true so the GXT branch remains active there; benchmark-app and any other classic-Ember consumer fall through to the upstream renderMain() path unchanged.
OutletView's constructor unconditionally called @lifeart/gxt's cellFor and replaced the Glimmer Reference with a raw OutletState cast as Reference<OutletState | undefined>. In classic-Ember consumers (benchmark-app and any embroider build that doesn't set __GXT_MODE__) this meant `state.ref` was no longer a real Reference and setOutletState had no Glimmer-side invalidation hook. Combined with the templateIsGxt gate from commit 95848fe this was insufficient: even with classic templates routed through renderMain, the underlying outlet's tag never dirtied so subsequent revalidations cycled without progress — manifesting as the persistent hang at clearItems4 in the Perf job. Make OutletView dual-mode: - Classic mode (no __GXT_MODE__): restore upstream's createComputeRef + outletStateTag pattern. setOutletState calls updateRef to dirty the tag and trigger Glimmer VM revalidation. Identical to upstream/main. - GXT mode: keep cellFor + raw-state-as-ref + the __gxtRootOutletRerender chain. The `ref` field is typed Reference<OutletState | undefined> in both modes; the GXT branch's runtime value is the raw OutletState (cast), matching prior behavior.
Three more classic-mode safety gates following the templateIsGxt + OutletView fixes (commits 95848fe, dcccf1f). The Perf job in classic-mode benchmark-app still hangs at clearItems4; these are correctness gates that restore upstream classic-Ember behavior independent of whether they fix the hang directly. 1. renderer.ts ClassicRootState.destroy: gate `destroyElementSync(result!)` on __GXT_MODE__. The result is a Glimmer-VM RenderResult (no GXT bookkeeping); calling GXT's destructor on it is at best a wasted traversal, and we can't rule out worse behavior on accumulated state. 2. metal/tracked.ts setter: gate the un-gated `dirtyTagFor(this, SELF_TAG)` and `dirtyTagFor(this, key)` (duplicate of what the upstream setter() above already does). Upstream classic Ember does NOT dirty SELF_TAG on @Tracked set — broadening invalidation as this branch did breaks the narrow-invalidation contract and can amplify revalidation work over large {{#each}} bodies. 3. metal/tracked.ts getter: gate the un-gated extra `consumeTag(tagFor(...))` on __GXT_MODE__. The upstream `getter()` already consumes the per-key tag; the additional consume only matters for GXT's compat createCache shim. Hot path on {{#each}} over a 2998-row array. After these, classic-mode @Tracked behavior matches upstream/main exactly, and the renderer's per-root teardown does no GXT work for non-GXT roots.
Removes the static `import * as _gxt from '@lifeart/gxt'` from renderer.ts and views/outlet.ts. Classic-Ember consumers (benchmark-app, embroider builds with no GXT_MODE) no longer pull GXT's ~50KB runtime into their bundle and no @lifeart/gxt module-load side effects run on classic-mode boot. Mechanism: - gxt-backend/manager.ts (only loaded in GXT mode via the validator alias) does `import * as __lifeartGxtNamespace from '@lifeart/gxt'` and stashes the namespace on `globalThis.__lifeartGxt`. - renderer.ts and outlet.ts read GXT symbols through a lazy accessor (`_gxtLib()` / `(globalThis as any).__lifeartGxt`) — undefined in classic mode where every callsite is already gated on __GXT_MODE__. This is the architectural follow-on to commits 95848fe (templateIsGxt gate), dcccf1f (OutletView dual-mode), and 9cbbcc5 (remaining un-gated GXT additions). Direct attempt at the persistent classic-mode bench hang at clearItems4 in the Perf job — even after the runtime gates, the static @lifeart/gxt import was still loading the runtime in classic mode, leaving room for module-load side effects to contribute to the hang.
ensureLifecycleErrorCapture wrapped Component.prototype._trigger and
each instance's destroy with `catch(e) { captureRenderError(e); throw e; }`.
That pattern routes the SAME Error instance into TWO error paths:
1. The synchronous throw bubbles to the immediate caller (e.g.,
`assert.throws(() => this.render(...))`) — assertion passes.
2. captureRenderError pushes a copy into _renderErrors.
The next `runTask` then calls flushRenderErrors, which throws the stale
duplicate. From the test runner's perspective the error appears AFTER
the test's earlier assertions completed → QUnit emits "Died on test #N".
This is the failure mode of `Errors thrown during render: it can recover
resets the transaction when an error is thrown during initial render`.
The inline captureRenderError calls already present in gxt-backend/manager.ts
at the actual swallow points (e.g. __gxtDestroyUnclaimedPoolEntries at
~line 4253, helper-instance cleanup at ~4271) cover the case the wrappers
were meant to handle — errors that downstream try/catch{ignore} blocks
would otherwise drop. Reduce the wrappers to identity functions so
synchronously-thrown errors propagate exactly once, no duplicates.
The wrap structure (with .__gxtCaptureWrapped marker) is kept so other
instrumentation that depends on it still works.
…wrappers" This reverts commit 22cdaf9.
Property changes that fire from outside any runloop (setTimeout, Promise resolutions, fetch callbacks, etc.) had no immediate flush trigger — they only set __gxtPendingSync and waited for the 16ms-interval fallback. The interval has a per-test budget (max 3 consecutive syncs) intended to prevent infinite re-render loops, and in cumulative-state runs (894 modules in one browser context) the budget can be exhausted before the async deadline expires, leaving the test hanging on a DOM that never updates. This is the failure mode of `Component Tracked Properties: tracked properties rerender when updated outside of a runloop` — setTimeout schedules `this.count++`, the test waits 200ms for the DOM to read '1', the budget-throttled interval doesn't fire in time, and `done()` never runs. Fix: when neither runTask nor a test transition owns the flush, queue a microtask that calls __gxtSyncDomNow. The microtask preserves the existing "no double-sync inside runTask" invariant by re-checking the guards before flushing. __gxtSyncDomNow's existing re-entrancy guard covers the case where another path already started a sync. Module isolation: 333/333 smoke tests still pass; "Component Tracked Properties" (17/17) and "Errors thrown during render" (4/4) continue to pass — verified locally with the gxt-test-runner module filter.

GXT dual-backend rendering (opt-in preview)
Summary
This PR adds Glimmer-Next / GXT (
@lifeart/gxt) as an opt-in, build-timealternate rendering backend for
ember-source, sitting behindEMBER_RENDER_BACKEND=gxt(production bundles) andGXT_MODE=true(the Vitedev loop). The split happens strictly at the
@glimmer/*+ember-template-compilerboundary — everything above that line is shared
@ember/*code, everythingbelow it is backend-specific. Classic Glimmer remains the default with no
behavior change and no public API change; GXT is tree-shaken out of the
classic bundle. A draft RFC (
rfcs/text/0000-gxt-dual-backend.md) accompaniesthe implementation and is intended to be promoted to an
emberjs/rfcsPR.Motivation
no VM opcodes, no wire format, and no template JIT — just reactive cells and
direct DOM adapters. For apps that do not need SSR or Glimmer-VM-only
addons, this is a meaningful architectural simplification.
@lifeart/gxtcompat work into mainstream Ember so thatconsumers can evaluate a second backend without a fork. The compat layer is
Ember-owned code; GXT itself stays an external dependency.

reactive core onto VM opcodes (which are architecturally incompatible — see
RFC §Motivation).

Known limitations / follow-ups

fix(gxt): rehydration — …commits), but the classic FastBootmarker-translation path has two open architectural blockers: root-context
isolation inside
compile.ts(RFC Phase 4.1) and lossy cursor-IDtranslation for nested engine outlets (Phase 4.2). The delegate ships as
an opt-in escape hatch, not as the default SSR path.

by
@lifeart/gxt's reactive core + bundled template compiler with notree-shaking applied yet. A
rollup-plugin-visualizersweep (RFC Phase2.5) is the recommended next step; until it lands, the 70% premium should
be read as a worst-case upper bound, not a final number.
RFC status
Draft at
rfcs/text/0000-gxt-dual-backend.md(plus the addon matrixcompanion), marked
Stage: Acceptedfor the purposes of tracking branchwork. The intent is to promote it to a real RFC PR against
emberjs/rfcsbefore a preview tag ships — an Ember core team scheduling question, noted
in the RFC's own follow-ups table.
