Root the single-selector path before do_span.
The group_args.len() <= 1 branch bypasses this root set. do_span can call getindex_w, which can execute __index__ and trigger collection. The subsequent match-span lookup then uses m after that collection, but m is only held in the non-rooted gateway argument slice.
Create the root set before the cardinality branch. Read the optional selector from args_base in the single-selector path. Add a regression case whose __index__ allocates before it returns a valid group number.
Proposed fix
fn sre_match_group(args: &[PyObjectRef]) -> Result<PyObjectRef, crate::PyError> {
- let m = sre_match_self(args)?;
let group_args = &args[1..];
+ let _roots = pyre_object::gc_roots::push_roots();
+ let args_base = pyre_object::gc_roots::pin_roots(args);

if group_args.len() <= 1 {
- let span = do_span(m, group_args.first().copied())?;
- return Ok(unsafe { slice_w(m, span, w_none()) });

+ let span = do_span(m.get() as *const W_SRE_Match, w_arg)?;
+ return Ok(unsafe { slice_w(m.get() as *const W_SRE_Match, span, w_none()) });
}
- let _roots = pyre_object::gc_roots::push_roots();
- let args_base = pyre_object::gc_roots::pin_roots(args);
- let m = RootedObject(args_base);As per coding guidelines, “For root-cause bugs, fix the actual interpreter or JIT issue instead of implementing workarounds such as builtin fallback modules.”

Correct the ticker-registration comment.
Lines 487-490 state that the OS handler forces the ticker negative. The handler now only arms EB_ASYNC. ExecutionContext::bytecode_trace synchronizes that request into the ticker while it holds the GIL. Update the comment to prevent a future unsafe direct ticker write.

`next`'s `itertools.pairwise` arm held `self` and `w_prev` in raw Rust locals across two `space.next` calls. A minor collection inside either call forwards the object but not the local, so the field stores and the returned tuple could name pre-collection addresses. The arm now claims four shadow-stack slots — self, iterator, w_prev, w_next — before the first call and reloads each from its slot. The indices are fixed rather than derived from how many roots the taken arm happened to push, so a slot means the same thing on both paths; the two slots that start without a value hold null, which the root walkers already read as "no root". `interp_itertools` gains the field accessors that arm reads and writes through. The setter runs the write barrier, because `W_Pairwise` is allocated old-gen and an iterator may yield a nursery object. The `W_Pairwise` unit test now asserts the GC descriptor's pointer offsets cover `w_iterator` and `w_prev`, not just the object size. Assisted-by: Claude
`pyre/check.py (windows-latest)` fails 18 rows across 10 fixtures — 9 on each native backend — where ubuntu-24.04 and macos-latest both pass. Every failing row is a jit-stats difference; no output snapshot mismatches, so the fixtures still compute the same results there. Values transcribed from the windows job of run 31724482401 (main b0f34c0). Transcription is exact rather than sampled: check.py states that "the recorded surface and the gated surface are the same set", so a FAIL line enumerates every counter that differs and each unnamed counter equals the shared baseline. Each file was cross-checked against the `(observed loops_compiled=N bridges_compiled=M)` parenthetical the same line prints. The three runners were read back before adding these, as the overlay comment requires: at that sha ubuntu reports these rows green (its own failures are cranelift/str_fstring and wasm/exception_traceback_loop_forms) and macos-latest is `success` for the whole job. The divergence appeared with the #1189 squash, but the branch alone does not produce it: that PR's own last windows run, at head 22ac8c9, failed only str_fstring on both backends. Its CI merged into d953ddc, while the squash landed on that plus #1184, #1196 and #1174; main at df365f9 carries those three without the branch and also lacks these rows. So it is an interaction between the two sides, and which pair is responsible is not established here. One caveat for whoever maintains these: inline_chain_depth_typeflip's windows observation already moved once, 3843 -> 3798, between the squash and b0f34c0. The other eight fixtures reported identical numbers across both runs. Assisted-by: Claude
…st reports" An overlay records what a runner observes; it does not change what the runner observes. The 18 files pinned the windows-latest numbers for those rows so the gate would stop reporting them, leaving the divergence itself in place. The pre-existing `str_fstring.cranelift.win32.github-actions.jitstats` is not part of this and stays. `pyre/check.py (windows-latest)` therefore still reports the 18 rows. Assisted-by: Claude

pyre/check.py (windows-latest)fails 18 rows over 10 fixtures — 9 per nativebackend — that ubuntu-24.04 and macos-latest both pass. Every one is a jit-stats
difference; there are no output-snapshot mismatches, so those fixtures still
compute the same results on Windows.
Values come from the windows job of run 31724482401 (main
b0f34c0af3e), andthe transcription is exact rather than sampled: check.py states that "the

What this does not settle
The rows appeared with the #1189 squash, but the branch alone does not produce
them. That PR's own last windows run, at head
22ac8c9145b, failed onlystr_fstringon both backends. Its CI merged intod953ddc7543, whereas thesquash landed on that plus #1184, #1196 and #1174 — and main at
df365f91fb4carries those three without the branch and also lacks these rows. So it is an
interaction between the two sides; which pair is responsible is not established
here, and was not pursued because reproducing it needs a Windows host.
inline_chain_depth_typeflip's windows observation already moved once,3843 → 3798, between the squash and
b0f34c0af3e. The other eight fixturesreported identical numbers across both runs. Overlays shadow the shared baseline
permanently, so these will need re-reading if the counters converge.
Verification
cargo check --all --tests --no-default-features --features dynasmis clean, andthe
W_Pairwisedescriptor test passes. A runtime test under collection pressurewas not run: the LLBC artefacts are stale against these edits, and the
project's rule is that
PYRE_LLBC_SKIP_FINGERPRINT_CHECK=1permits compiling butnot measuring, since wrong field offsets return a number rather than an error.
