Walkthrough

Garbage collection now promotes surviving objects to generation 2 during full collections. Resurrected and SAVEALL-retained objects are also promoted. Rust and Python tests cover generation placement and tracking consistency.

Changes

Garbage collector survivor promotion

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: youknowone

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ca8e0

This change promotes GC survivors to generation 2 and batches list updates, which should reduce young-collection cost. No concrete merge-blocking issue was identified, and tests cover generation placement and list consistency.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ca8e0

The changes preserve ownership filtering and object-tracking checks. No introduced security vulnerability was identified, but shared object-lifetime transitions and concurrent execution have only source-level validation in this review.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The security-relevant failure domain is in-process object lifetime and shared generation-list integrity, potentially affecting interpreters sharing the process. The inspected changes do not expand filesystem, network, credential, or service authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — User-created cycles, finalizers, and SAVEALL settings reach the changed promotion paths through existing collection behavior. The inspected transitions do not establish a new cross-owner exposure or object-lifetime attack path: ownership is preserved, references remain strong, and membership is rechecked under locks.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Existing controls remain in place: collection is serialized with a collecting lock, generation selection is capped at 2, candidate selection filters ownership, and promotion holds both list locks while checking tracked status and moving each node. The new Heap and Drop code is confined to a regression test, not a production entrypoint.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Repetition and stale snapshots are contained by tracked-state and generation rechecks; concurrent untracking retries if promotion changed the generation. Each successful move completes under both locks without invoking user callbacks. These mechanisms support lifetime and list-integrity guarantees, although arbitrary scheduling and interruption were not validated at runtime.
