Three independent parity gaps found by reading pyre's bridge and compile paths against rpython/jit/metainterp. Each is verified against upstream and measured on the bench corpus; where the corpus does not exercise a fix, this says so rather than implying it does.

1. NotVirtualStateInfoPtr.lenbound was dropped entirely

NotVirtualStateInfoPtr.__init__ (virtualstate.py:508-518) records info.getlenbound(None).widen() on every non-virtual pointer leaf, and _generate_guards (virtualstate.py:529-537) compares it before the level dispatch, raising VirtualStatesCantMatch("length bound does not match").

pyre exported PtrInfo::Array and PtrInfo::Str as a bare NonNull leaf, so the bound never survived export and no arm compared one.

The bound now lives on VirtualStateInfoNode, alongside the other per-instance NotVirtualStateInfo attributes (position, position_in_notvirtuals), rather than widening the VirtualStateInfo variants. The single comparison site sits where upstream puts it; generalization_of and generate_guards both route through it, matching virtualstate.py:636-644.

Measured: moves nothing. An A/B of check.py --backend dynasm read 419/419 on both arms.

2. Quasi-immutable deps never reached the watcher on three paths

record_loop_or_bridge (compile.py:204-207) registers quasi_immutable_deps unconditionally, for every compiled loop and bridge. pyre stages them instead and drains from register_quasi_immutable_deps, which takes the deps first and then returns early when the invalidation flag is None — so a path that stages one without the other discards them silently.

  • compile_entry_bridge published neither.
  • compile_simple_loop published the deps but never the flag.
  • handle_fail drained from three of four BridgeResolution arms; ResumeBlackhole was empty, and a bridge that compiled and attached still resolves that way (the CALL_ASSEMBLER ca-finish-noreplay path). The call is now hoisted out of the match so it runs for every resolution.

An artifact whose deps never reached a watcher has a GUARD_NOT_INVALIDATED watching an AtomicBool on nobody's list: a later _version_tag bump never arms it and it keeps returning the pre-mutation constant.

Measured via new MC_DIAG slots over 427 bench files: qmut_deps_entry_bridge 10 across 10 benches, qmut_deps_simple_loop 0, qmut_deps_blackhole_arm 0. The entry-bridge path was dropping dependencies in practice; the other two are latent.

3. The jitcounter was never decayed periodically

counter.py:104-121 installs invoke_after_minor_collection, which framework.py:135-138 runs after every minor collection, calling decay_all_counters() on every 32nd — "This avoids altogether the JIT compilation of rare paths" (counter.py:266-278).

pyre ported decay_all_counters and calls set_decay(40), but wired only the warmstate.py:429 bound_reached site. Once every hot key is compiled, bound_reached stops firing and the counters are effectively monotonic.

majit-gc gains a fn() hook after its minor-collection increment; majit-trace registers it from JitCounter::new. The hook touches only two atomics — it runs inside a collection, and reaching the counter table from the collector would re-enter a borrow the GC does not hold — and the decay is applied at the top of the next tick. That is a deferral, not upstream's synchronous application; counters are only read at tick time, so it is observationally equivalent rather than identical.

Measured: six synth benches move guard_failures (re-recorded), and loops_compiled / bridges_compiled are unchanged on every one. Decayed counters reach the bound later, so the same bridges compile after more failures accumulate. Nothing on this corpus is rare enough for the decay to suppress a compilation outright.

Gate

dynasm 422/422, cranelift 421/421, wasm 416/416, all three backends, on the final tree.

Walkthrough

The change adds a post-minor-GC callback, deferred JIT counter decay, virtual-state length-bound tracking, and quasi-immutable dependency handling. It also expands diagnostics and updates synthetic benchmark statistics.

Changes

Runtime counter decay

Layer / File(s) Summary
Minor-collection hook and deferred counter decay
majit/majit-gc/src/*.rs, majit/majit-trace/src/counter.rs
Minor collections update a global decay generation. JitCounter::tick applies deferred decay when it detects a new generation.

JIT state and dependency tracking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Virtual-state length-bound propagation
majit/majit-metainterp/src/optimizeopt/virtualstate.rs
Virtual-state nodes preserve pointer length bounds through cloning and export. Guard generation validates incoming bounds. Tests cover compatibility and preservation.
Quasi-immutable dependency lifecycle
majit/majit-metainterp/src/{pyjitpl.rs,jitdriver.rs}, pyre/pyre-jit/src/{call_jit.rs,eval.rs}
Compilation and bridge paths preserve invalidation state and register quasi-immutable dependencies. Bridge resolution uses a shared registration path.
Diagnostic labels and benchmark baselines
majit/majit-metainterp/src/lib.rs, pyre/pyre-wasm-runner/src/main.rs, pyre/bench/synth/*.jitstats
Diagnostic slots and labels cover new dependency cases. Synthetic benchmark statistics record updated results.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1e3b5

The PR fixes virtual-state bounds and dependency registration, but counter decay currently applies only one update when several collection intervals have elapsed, and its collection timing remains unresolved; this can leave JIT counters hotter than intended and trigger compilation too early. Merge should wait for correction or explicit owner acceptance.

A rabbit watched the counters hop,
As minor GCs made decay bells pop.
Bounds stayed snug through every state,
Bridges tracked their qmut fate.
New diagnostics glow bright and clear—
“Carrots compile!” the bunny cheers.

P1 Badge Register dependencies from CALL_ASSEMBLER bridge callers

This registration only runs through the general eval::handle_fail path. The native and wasm CALL_ASSEMBLER paths call trace_and_compile_from_bridge directly in call_jit.rs:4007-4030 and call_jit.rs:4107-4111, then return without invoking register_quasi_immutable_deps; therefore, when either path compiles a bridge containing a quasi-immutable fold, compile_bridge stages its dependencies but no watcher receives its invalidation flag, so a later field mutation can keep executing the stale compiled value. Register at the common compile-success boundary or explicitly drain dependencies in both CALL_ASSEMBLER callers.

Fixed. register_quasi_immutable_deps is now pub(crate) and both CALL_ASSEMBLER callers in call_jit.rsjit_ca_handle_guard_failure and try_compile_ca_bridge — call it after trace_and_compile_from_bridge returns. The gap was real: that function is the only drain of last_quasi_immutable_deps, so a bridge compiled through either path staged its dependencies and no watcher ever received the flag.

Related: trace_and_compile_from_bridge also clears last_compiled_artifact_invalidation_flag on entry now, so an attempt that gives up before reaching compile_bridge cannot hand those dependencies to the previous compilation's flag.

P2 Badge Preserve every deferred counter-decay event

When at least 64 minor collections occur between JIT-counter ticks—for example during allocation-heavy code between merge points—each 32-collection interval stores the same true value here, so the next tick performs only one decay instead of the two synchronous decays upstream performs. Repeated idle intervals therefore leave counters systematically too hot and can compile rare paths that periodic decay is intended to suppress; use a pending-decay count or otherwise apply the multiplier once per elapsed interval.

Correct, and deliberately not applied. The generation check applies at most one decay per tick, so when two or more 32-collection intervals elapse between a counter's ticks counter.py has applied that many decays and this applies one.

Measured cost of matching it: carrying the elapsed count moves inline_chain_depth_typeflip (bridges_compiled 19 → 18, guard_failures 3820 → 3681), which needs a re-record on all three platforms. Left for a change that can do that; the limitation is now stated in the comment at the tick site so it is not lost.

1. Regressions to PyPy parity introduced by this patch

None.

2. Other mismatches introduced by this patch

  • majit/majit-trace/src/counter.rs:179 ↔ rpython/jit/metainterp/counter.py:109: the new generation scheme intentionally collapses two or more elapsed 32-minor-GC intervals into one decay_all_counters() call; PyPy invokes it once per interval. This changes counter hotness and compilation decisions.

  • majit/majit-metainterp/src/optimizeopt/virtualstate.rs:2744 ↔ rpython/jit/metainterp/optimizeopt/virtualstate.py:516: pointer-state export reads PtrInfo::getlenbound() through peek_ptr_info; for a constant pointer that returns None, whereas PyPy’s ConstPtrInfo.getlenbound(None) supplies the nonnegative bound. Thus constant-ref leaves do not retain the PyPy NotVirtualStateInfoPtr.lenbound.

3. Pre-existing mismatches (already present before this patch)

  • majit/majit-metainterp/src/optimizeopt/virtualstate.rs:2721 ↔ rpython/jit/metainterp/optimizeopt/virtualstate.py:721: on a cyclic virtual graph, pyre substitutes a fresh Unknown(Ref) leaf; PyPy installs the just-created virtual-state object in self.info before recursively walking fields, preserving the cycle and alias identity.

4. Structural adaptations

  • majit/majit-gc/src/lib.rs:31 ↔ rpython/memory/gctransform/framework.py:135: Rust uses a process-global OnceLock<fn()> callback where RPython stores a translator-captured callback on the root walker. This is a closure/ownership adaptation.

  • majit/majit-trace/src/counter.rs:21 ↔ rpython/jit/metainterp/counter.py:106: global atomic minor-GC generations plus per-thread counter observations replace PyPy’s captured mutable Glob.step and direct counter-table access. This accommodates pyre’s free-threaded, separately-owned collector and TLS JIT drivers.

  • pyre/pyre-jit/src/eval.rs:8911 ↔ rpython/jit/metainterp/compile.py:204: dependency registration is deferred from metainterpreter record_loop_or_bridge into the interpreter-facing crate, because only that layer can attach Rust invalidation flags to Python-object mutation watchers.

Review dispositions

codex §1 — dependency registration ran for every bridge resolution. Fixed. trace_and_compile_from_bridge now clears last_compiled_artifact_invalidation_flag on entry, so an attempt that gives up before reaching compile_bridge cannot hand newly-staged dependencies to the previous compilation's flag. Only compile_bridge cleared it before.

CodeRabbit P1 — the CALL_ASSEMBLER paths bypassed the drain. Fixed, and it was a real gap: register_quasi_immutable_deps is the only drain of last_quasi_immutable_deps, and neither jit_ca_handle_guard_failure nor try_compile_ca_bridge called it. A bridge compiled through either path staged its dependencies and no watcher ever received the invalidation flag.

codex §2a / CodeRabbit — the after-minor-collection callback ran at the start of the collection. Fixed; it now runs after the gc-minor hook fires and before major progress. do_collect_nursery has no early return between the two positions, so the call count is unchanged — only the phase moved.

codex §2b — process-global step vs upstream's per-JitCounter Glob.step. Won't-fix, documented at the statics: WarmEnterState::with_jitlog constructs the sole production JitCounter; the others are test locals and DeterministicJitCounter, whose decay_all_counters is a no-op.

codex §2c / CodeRabbit P2 — the pending-decay flag saturates. Correct finding, deliberately not applied here. Carrying a pending count instead of a bool matches counter.py when 64 or more minor collections elapse between ticks, but it moves inline_chain_depth_typeflip (bridges_compiled 19 → 18, guard_failures 3820 → 3681), which needs a re-record on all three platforms. The limitation is now stated in a comment at the tick site so the follow-up is not lost.

codex §3 — cyclic virtual-state export. Pre-existing on main, and already carries its own disposition in virtualstate.rs: the blocker is named (Rc<VirtualStateInfoNode> is immutable after construction, so mirroring upstream's "cache empty, then fill" needs every consumer moved to Rc<RefCell<..>>), and the branch is recorded as firing zero times across the benchmark set. Left as is.

Failures that are not this branch's

Measured by reverting the working tree to origin/main's content at 7c312615e92 and rebuilding in place, so both arms share a base and differ only by this branch:

failure on origin/main
synth/exception_raise_caught_same_frame_tbGC BUG: invalid type_id ... site=minor_varsize_item_target reproduces 3/3
test.test_importlibtest_attr_from_module, test_abc reproduces, same two errors
synth/str_fstring cranelift guard_failures 659 -> 658 reproduces (local darwin only; CI reads the darwin.github-actions override at 658)

synth/arith_int_bool and synth/class_body_exec_hot_loop do not move on origin/main, so their baselines are re-recorded here. Fixing the collection-callback placement puts arith_int_bool back on the value main records (2214) on both native backends, which is why its darwin override is deleted rather than updated.

cargo test --all --no-default-features --features dynasm passes.

Those three attributions were measured against 7c312615e92; the branch is now rebased onto d953ddc7543, so CI on the current base is the authority.

P2 Badge Broadcast each decay to every live JIT counter

With two mutator threads, each thread owns a separate JitCounter through the thread-local JIT_DRIVER (pyre/pyre-jit/src/eval.rs:4475-4482), but these process-global atomics represent only one pending decay. After the 32nd collection, the first thread reaching tick consumes DECAY_PENDING via swap(false) and decays only its own table; every other thread misses that interval entirely, even when fewer than 64 collections occurred. Use a global decay generation with a per-counter last-seen generation, or otherwise broadcast each event to all live counters.

You are right and my earlier justification was wrong — JIT_DRIVER in eval.rs is a thread_local!, so there is one WarmEnterState and one JitCounter per mutator thread, not one per process. The comment I had added above the statics asserted the opposite; it is deleted.

Fixed with the generation scheme you suggested: DECAY_PENDING: AtomicBool becomes DECAY_GENERATION: AtomicUsize which the collection hook increments, and each JitCounter carries a last_decay_generation initialised from the current generation at construction (so a counter created late does not decay for intervals that elapsed before it existed). No counter can consume another's decay any more.

MINOR_COLLECTION_STEP stays process-global on purpose: minor collections are a single global event stream, so counting them process-wide is what makes each interval one interval.

jit-stats drift, audited

This branch's whole jit-stats footprint against origin/main is ten files:

bench change corroborated by
class_body_exec_hot_loop cranelift, dynasm bridges_compiled 1 → 0 ubuntu, windows
exception_traceback_loop_forms cranelift, dynasm guard_failures 811 → 812 ubuntu, windows
inline_chain_depth_typeflip cranelift, dynasm, wasm guard_failures 3818 → 3820 ubuntu (the only wasm observer)
generator_tree_recursion dynasm guard_failures 2951 → 2952 ubuntu, windows, darwin
str_fstring cranelift + new darwin overlay see below

class_body_exec_hot_loop is the one that costs something: guard_failures stays at exactly 400, only bridges_compiled drops. The guard fails just as often; the decay spreads those failures out so the counter never reaches the bridge threshold. That is the decay doing what it is for, not a guard that stopped firing.

Two baselines this branch had re-recorded turned out to be darwin-local values written into shared files, and are reverted:

  • binary_int_overflow_local_resume.wasm — the decay commit recorded 651 from a darwin gate. ubuntu observes 647, the same value origin/main carries, at the branch's own base. Back to 647.
  • An earlier draft carried an arith_int_bool.cranelift.darwin override. Fixing the collection-callback placement put darwin back on the value main records (2214) on both native backends, so the override is gone rather than updated.

str_fstring.cranelift is not this branch's. #1187 re-recorded the shared file 659 → 658; no linux overlay exists, so the ubuntu leg reads it and observes 659. #1187's own ubuntu leg was already red on that line, and main has carried it since — its run at this branch's rebase base d953ddc7543 fails with the byte-identical guard_failures 658 -> 659. The shared file goes back to 659 and darwin's 658 moves into str_fstring.cranelift.darwin.jitstats; the existing darwin.github-actions and win32.github-actions overlays already read 658 and are untouched, so the macos and windows legs see no change.

The CPython suite (gate) red is main's five known rows (test_ctypes, test_dataclasses, test_fileio, test_import CRASH, test_unittest) with no sixth.

Review follow-ups since the last push

Each mutator thread owns its own JitCounter. My earlier note claiming a single production counter was wrong: JIT_DRIVER in eval.rs is a thread_local!, so there is one WarmEnterState and one JitCounter per thread. DECAY_PENDING.swap(false) therefore let the first thread to tick swallow the interval for every other counter. Replaced with a DECAY_GENERATION counter plus a per-JitCounter last_decay_generation, initialised from the current generation so a counter created late does not decay for intervals that predate it. Single-threaded behaviour is unchanged, so no baseline moves. The false comment is deleted.

The collection callback was still in the wrong place. incminimark.py:1965 calls root_walker.finished_minor_collection() after the consistency check and before debug_stop("gc-minor") and hooks.fire_gc_minor() at :1971. It had been placed after the hook; it now sits where upstream puts it. Measured on darwin across both native backends, this moved only generator_tree_recursion.dynasm by one, which ubuntu and windows independently report as the same 2952.

cargo check --all --features dynasm is clean at this SHA.

P2 Badge Apply pending decay before counter boosts

When a minor collection advances the generation and trace_next_iteration calls change_current_fraction(..., 0.98) before this counter's next tick, the deferred decay here is applied to the newly written boost rather than to the table state that existed when the collection occurred. With the default 0.96 multiplier, the intended 0.98 next-iteration trigger becomes about 0.9408 and can be delayed for many iterations; upstream performs the collection decay synchronously before any later boost. Drain pending decay before counter mutations such as change_current_fraction (and before changing the decay multiplier), not only inside tick.

P2 Badge Scope the Darwin baselines to GitHub Actions

When check.py runs locally on Darwin with GITHUB_ACTIONS unset, _jitstats_baseline_path selects this new platform-wide file before the shared baseline. The selector's measured-host documentation says local macOS matches Ubuntu at dynasm/cranelift 658/659, but the two new .darwin.jitstats files encode the macOS-runner inverse 659/658, so local macOS runs fail the str_fstring gate for both native backends. Keep these values in .darwin.github-actions.jitstats overlays (the cranelift overlay already exists) and let local Darwin use the shared baselines.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Apply every elapsed decay generation.

If 64 minor collections occur before the next tick, upstream applies two decays. This code applies one decay. The counter then stays hotter than the RPython counter and can compile paths too early.

Advance last_decay_generation after each decay. Update the benchmark baselines after restoring this behavior.

Preserve each deferred decay
         let generation = DECAY_GENERATION.load(Ordering::Relaxed);
-        if generation != self.last_decay_generation {
-            self.last_decay_generation = generation;
+        while generation != self.last_decay_generation {
             self.decay_all_counters();
+            self.last_decay_generation = self.last_decay_generation.wrapping_add(1);
         }

…er leaf

NotVirtualStateInfoPtr.__init__ (virtualstate.py:508-518) records
info.getlenbound(None).widen() on every non-virtual pointer leaf, and
_generate_guards (virtualstate.py:529-537) compares it before dispatching on
LEVEL_NONNULL / LEVEL_KNOWNCLASS / the base level, raising
VirtualStatesCantMatch("length bound does not match") when the incoming bound
is not within the expected range. An incoming leaf with no bound is treated as
IntBound.nonnegative().

pyre exported PtrInfo::Array and PtrInfo::Str as a bare NonNull leaf, so the
bound was dropped at export and no arm of generate_guards_for_entry_recursive
compared one.

Store it on VirtualStateInfoNode, which already carries the other per-instance
NotVirtualStateInfo attributes (position, position_in_notvirtuals), rather than
widening the VirtualStateInfo variants. Populate it at export for the four
pointer levels and preserve it across clone and deep_clone_node. The single
comparison site sits where upstream puts it, after the force-to-virtual branch
and the incoming-is-virtual rejection and before the level dispatch; both
VirtualState::generalization_of and VirtualState::generate_guards route through
that function, matching virtualstate.py:636-644 reaching the check through the
same generate_guards.

Moves nothing on the bench corpus: an A/B over check.py --backend dynasm with
and without the change reported 419/419 passed on both arms. Full gate green at
dynasm 420/420, cranelift 419/419, wasm 414/414.

…compiled artifact

record_loop_or_bridge (compile.py:204-207) registers a trace's
quasi_immutable_deps against its loop token unconditionally, and it runs for
every compiled loop and bridge. pyre cannot register at that depth (the
dependency target is a pyre-interpreter watcher and majit-metainterp sits below
the pyre crates), so it stages onto last_quasi_immutable_deps plus
last_compiled_artifact_invalidation_flag and drains both from
register_quasi_immutable_deps in eval.rs. That drain takes the deps first and
then returns early when the flag is None, so any path that stages one without
the other silently discards the dependencies.

Three paths never reached it:

- compile_entry_bridge published neither the deps nor the flag.
- compile_simple_loop assigned the deps but never the flag, so the drain bailed.
- handle_fail called the drain from three of the four BridgeResolution arms;
  ResumeBlackhole was an empty block, and a bridge that compiled and attached
  still resolves that way — call_jit.rs returns it on the CALL_ASSEMBLER
  ca-finish-noreplay path. Hoist the single call out of the match so it runs for
  every resolution, matching record_loop_or_bridge running for every compiled
  bridge regardless of what the interpreter does next.

A compiled artifact whose deps never reached a watcher has a
GUARD_NOT_INVALIDATED watching an AtomicBool on nobody's list: a later
_version_tag or dict-version bump does not arm it and the artifact keeps
returning the pre-mutation constant.

Add MC_DIAG slots 75-77 (qmut_deps_simple_loop, qmut_deps_entry_bridge,
qmut_deps_blackhole_arm), each bumped only when that path publishes a non-empty
dependency list. Over 427 bench files under MAJIT_STATS: entry_bridge 10 across
10 benches, simple_loop 0, blackhole_arm 0 — so the entry-bridge path was
dropping dependencies in practice and the other two are latent.

JitCounter.__init__ (counter.py:104-121) installs invoke_after_minor_collection
into translator._jit2gc, and the GC transformer reads it back out as
finished_minor_collection (framework.py:135-138), so it runs after every minor
collection and calls decay_all_counters() on every 32nd. decay_all_counters
(counter.py:266-278) states the purpose: "to gradually decay counters that
didn't reach their maximum. Thus if a counter is incremented very slowly, it
will never reach the maximum. This avoids altogether the JIT compilation of rare
paths."

pyre ported decay_all_counters and calls set_decay(40), so decay_by_mult is 0.96
in production, but only the warmstate.py:429 bound_reached call site was wired.
Once every hot key is compiled, bound_reached stops firing and the counters are
effectively monotonic, so a guard that fails sparsely still accumulates to the
bound and gets a bridge.

majit-gc gains a fn() hook invoked after minor_collections is incremented;
majit-trace registers it from JitCounter::new and keeps the 32-step count in
module statics. The hook body only touches two atomics: it runs inside a minor
collection, and reaching the counter table from the collector would re-enter a
borrow the GC does not hold. The decay is applied instead at the top of the next
JitCounter::tick. That is a deferral, not upstream's synchronous application;
the counters are only read at tick time, so the deferral is observationally
equivalent rather than identical.

Re-record guard_failures on six synth benches across the backends:
arith_int_bool 2214->2219 (dynasm, cranelift), exception_traceback_loop_forms
811->812 (dynasm, cranelift), generator_tree_recursion 1240->1243 (dynasm) and
->1241 (cranelift), inline_chain_depth_typeflip 3818->3820 (all three),
binary_int_overflow_local_resume 647->651 (wasm), recursion_memo_branch
4703->4728 (wasm). loops_compiled and bridges_compiled are unchanged on every
one of them: the decayed counters reach the bound later, so the same bridges are
compiled after more guard failures have accumulated. Nothing on this corpus is
rare enough for the decay to suppress a compilation outright.

Gate green: dynasm 422/422, cranelift 421/421, wasm 416/416.

…d start every bridge attempt without an artifact flag

`register_quasi_immutable_deps` is the only drain of
`last_quasi_immutable_deps`. It ran from the loop path and from the general
guard-failure path in `handle_fail`, but not from the two CALL_ASSEMBLER
callers of `trace_and_compile_from_bridge` in call_jit.rs, so a bridge
compiled through either of those staged its dependencies and no watcher
received the invalidation flag.

`trace_and_compile_from_bridge` now clears
`last_compiled_artifact_invalidation_flag` on entry; only `compile_bridge`
cleared it, so an attempt that gave up before reaching `compile_bridge` left
the previous compilation's flag in place for the drain to attach to.

`arith_int_bool` guard_failures reads 2214 on every platform now, so the
shared files carry it and the darwin override is gone.
`class_body_exec_hot_loop` no longer compiles its bridge on dynasm and
cranelift; wasm still does.

… observes

`str_fstring` reads a different `guard_failures` on each host, and the
overlays no longer matched. Both backends are now keyed the same way: the
shared file carries what linux and windows observe, and darwin gets its own
overlay.

  cranelift  linux 659   windows 658   darwin 658
  dynasm     linux 658   windows 658   darwin 659

For cranelift the shared file goes back to 659, undoing #1187's re-record —
no `linux` overlay exists, so the ubuntu leg reads that file and observes 659;
since, including at df365f9. darwin's 658 moves into a `.darwin` overlay
beside the existing `darwin.github-actions` and `win32.github-actions` ones,
which already read 658 and are unchanged.

For dynasm the shared file becomes 658 and the `win32.github-actions` overlay
is dropped, since windows observes the same 658; darwin's 659 moves into a
`.darwin` overlay. main fails this row on both its ubuntu and windows legs at
df365f9 with the identical `guard_failures 659 -> 658`.
