fix(runtime): preserve dynamic parent for spread super

[proggeramlug]

Closes #10660

Root cause

js_super_construct_apply resolved the parent through the template-wide class-id registry. Multiple evaluations of @redis/client's shared Commander class-expression template overwrite that registry entry, so constructing the RedisClient-derived evaluation dispatched into RedisClientMultiCommand and supplied only its seven capture slots. The missing RedisClient capture slots made the downlevel private-field WeakMap lookup fail.

Fix

• consult the active per-evaluation class object before the template registry for super(...args)
• replay an exact parent class object with its own capture snapshot and heritage
• keep the originally constructed class pinned on the instance while replaying parent constructors
• add a two-module regression covering repeated evaluations of one class template forming and overwriting parent chains

Validation

• cargo fmt --all -- --check
• cargo test --release -p perry --test issue_10660_dynamic_super_evaluation -- --nocapture
• exact reduced attachExtensions reproduction: baseline recurses/core-dumps; fixed binary prints first:x
• real 543-module Redis fixture: the reported Cannot read private member from an object whose class did not declare it failure is gone; execution advances into later socket protocol handling (currently stops on a separate StringDecoder receiver issue)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Fixed class inheritance behavior when dynamically evaluated class templates use spread arguments with super(...).
  • Prevented recursive constructor calls and ensured derived instances are initialized with the correct parent class.

• Tests

  • Added regression coverage for classes created from the same template with different parent classes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runtime now resolves the per-evaluation parent for super(...args) before using the shared class registry. It replays that parent with separate instance-pinning behavior. A regression test covers repeated evaluations with two base classes, and a changelog entry records the fix.

Changes

Dynamic super parent replay

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runtime parent dispatch and replay crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_constructors.rs, changelog.d/10660-dynamic-spread-super-parent.md	js_super_construct_apply now replays the active evaluation parent. Class-object and dynamic class parents use their respective constructor paths. Shared replay logic can skip instance constructing-class pinning for super calls.
Repeated evaluation regression coverage crates/perry/tests/issue_10660_dynamic_super_evaluation.rs	The test evaluates one super(...args) class template against First and Second, then verifies the output first:x and second:y.

🟠 Major · Resolve implicit constructors through pinned heritage. · class_constructors.rs:1300-1312

crates/perry-runtime/src/object/class_constructors.rs:1300-1312
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Resolve implicit constructors through pinned heritage.

When replay_class_object_constructor_impl finds no own constructor, it follows get_parent_class_id(ctor_cid). This uses template-wide, last-wins metadata instead of classobj_value's pinned parent. push_active_class_evaluation runs only after ctor_ptr has been selected, so it cannot correct the initial lookup. Repeated evaluations with different parent class objects can therefore dispatch an earlier implicit class evaluation to the later evaluation's base constructor.

Walk the supplied class object's class_object_pinned_parent chain while locating the nearest constructor. Activate the matching class object before dispatch. Add a regression test for repeated evaluation of a class template with no explicit constructor.

Landed via merge train 253 (#10918) as v0.5.1633 — merge commit 0fa3915293.

Expedited at the owner's request. Carried with nine other PRs; the stacked ones (#10899/#10900 on #10886, #10901 on #10885) had only their unique commits taken.

Evidence on the assembled tree: perry-runtime full suite 4233 passed / 0 failed / 0 SIGABRT, perry-hir 471 / 0, cargo check --workspace --all-targets under -D warnings clean, cargo fmt --check clean, and all eight ratchets rc=0. The gap sweep and compiler-output suites were not run.

Closing here rather than merging — a train lands the commits directly.
