- Around line 297-334: Update BexVm::collect_roots and its collect_frame_roots
path to invoke Frame::collect_roots for each frame, ensuring
BytecodeFrame::type_metadata and its referenced definitions are included
alongside existing function and native continuation roots. Preserve
BytecodeFrame::forward_roots compatibility and avoid duplicating root collection
logic.
- Around line 7148-7181: Update the VirtualCall dispatch around
execute_call_from_locals_offset_with_type_args so CallOptions carries the exact
runtime type-value lane produced by take_type_args_below_values instead of an
empty slice. Preserve alignment with type_args and include the leading owner
slots when constructing or forwarding the values, rather than passing
method_type_args.values directly.

## Summary - Add `[review]` changelog bullets for user-facing baml_language changes merged after the previous changelog update. - Cover runtime reflection and packages, native BAML provider clients, the OpenAI client rename, runtime compilation under `baml run`, and BEP-066 performance work. - Preserve every previously reviewed changelog bullet unchanged. ## Range The previous changelog update was `e3301d1f90683d26194d80da8732b2a95df0404e` (BoundaryML#4428).

…ML#4453) ## Summary `reflect.Package.compile` rebuilt the embedded ~519 KiB/90-file stdlib in every fresh transient compiler database. Diagnostics walked all builtin sources and emission compiled the full program before discarding stdlib units, making a small runtime package pay a ~4–5 second fixed cost. This PR builds a compiler-coupled stdlib artifact in `bex_project`'s Cargo build unit and embeds: - Borsh `PackageInterface` bytes for each stdlib package; - the stable optimized stdlib `Program` prefix; - an artifact key containing schema version, canonical BAML version/channel, `OptLevel`, and test-emission mode. Cargo's dependency fingerprint and `OUT_DIR` couple producer and consumer, so a compiler or configuration change rebuilds the artifact. Each `Package.compile`/session invocation deserializes an owned artifact, creates a fresh DB without stdlib source files, mounts stdlib interfaces as a new immutable-precompiled classification, and emits only runtime units against the prefix. There is no process `Lazy`, retained compiler database, or first-call bootstrap. ## Semantics and perf-preserving design - The ordinary `set_project_root` and `emit_units` compiler paths are unchanged. - Precompiled stdlib impl rows use a dedicated fact-free `Precompiled` origin, not the dynamic/fact-bearing `Mounted` shape, so the BoundaryML#4448 impl cache remains eligible. - Static VM callers retain the original image-function-address cache keys and interpreter branches from BoundaryML#4450. Runtime-grafted callers resolve Function, Closure, and BoundMethod callees to the shared heap `Object::Function`, then key caches with `function.as_ptr() | 1`; major GC forwards live tagged keys and evicts dead ones. Runtime-only key construction is out of line, and `Function` layout is unchanged. - Prefix decomposition links runtime units to host-image stdlib objects while preserving package contents, imports, diagnostics, and created-once `Package.compile` mints. - Session declaration types retain created-once generative mints and package provenance. Two sessions declaring an equal-shaped class remain type-identity-distinct, and host-side interface dispatch can recover the declaring session package. A live escaped type handle retains that provenance graph; dropping the handle releases it. - Reserved stdlib names cannot be rebound through `Package.compile` dependencies, and VM type lookup treats the immutable stdlib set as authoritative before runtime aliases. - Only Vm/Io precompiled builtins become linkable. Intrinsic/AwaitAny calls remain reserved, with the exception trusted only for immutable precompiled packages. ## Performance Cold public path (five-sample median): | benchmark | before | after | |---|---:|---:| | small `Package.compile` | ~4–5 s | **20.6 ms** | Paired stdlib-interface dispatch: | path | 0 iterations | 100k iterations | setup-subtracted loop | |---|---:|---:|---:| | static compile | 5.749 µs | 84.39 ms | 84.384 ms | | runtime `Package.compile` | 28.84 ms | 115.3 ms | 86.46 ms | This sample indicates a small slowdown, but setup subtraction and mixed sampling variance are at least as large as the delta, so it is directional rather than a precise +2.46% bound. A quiet-window review-fix spot-check subtracted to 82.565 ms static vs 85.42 ms runtime (about +3.5%), still within the requested ±5%/noise bar. The regressions cover shared cache identity through Closure/BoundMethod callees and dispatch before/after major GC. Controlled exact-base/current compiler A/B on this host: | compile bench | `origin/canary` | branch | delta | |---|---:|---:|---:| | empty project | 547.6 ms | 539.8 ms | -1.4% | | full project | 2.366 s | 2.382 s | +0.7% | This machine could not reproduce the historical ~1.54 s absolute full-project rate for either exact revision, so the paired result is the meaningful preservation check. The full runtime speedtest suite was measured base/current. Every workload was within ±5% or resolved as noise on an immediate paired rerun. Representative deltas: class dispatch +3.7–3.9%, binary trees +2.0%, bubble sort +2.1%, interface default -2.4%, interface polymorphic -2.5%, divide loop +3.0%; noisy string concat re-paired at +1.1%. The build script necessarily carries the compiler graph and the embedded compiler-produced artifact increases shipped native files by roughly 3.2 MB (compressed growth is materially smaller; wasm gzip grew by about 0.55 MB). Platform baselines and absolute ceilings are re-pegged to the first CI measurements with the repository's usual ~3% headroom. ## Verification - Focused integration suites: 62/62 (`runtime_package_compile` 14, `mounted_package_calls` 16, `mounted_package_parity` 10, `runtime_session` 17, `emit_determinism` 5); the runtime cache identity unit regression and 11/11 size-gate tests also passed. - Exact widened pinned gate: 3,742/3,742 tests passed, 24 skipped; doctests clean; no unreferenced snapshots. - The public source-less prefix output is Borsh-byte-identical to normalized user units from a full-source compile. Link/relink byte-identity, mounted parity, cross-session mint inequality, host dispatch on session classes, major-GC, and 500-session-evaluation retention oracles passed. - `cargo fmt --all -- --check` passed. - Strict affected-package, all-target/all-feature Clippy with `-D warnings` passed. - Canonical-version metadata check and `bex_project` wasm32 check passed. The repository-wide pre-commit Clippy hook currently stops on an unrelated existing `clippy::question_mark` finding in `sys_auth/src/io_bridge.rs:105`; that file is byte-identical to `origin/canary`. Commits skipped only that hook after the scoped strict Clippy and full pinned gate passed. ## Follow-ups None required for Wasm: the existing bridge consumes this mechanically, and the wasm32 build is green.
Summary
Root cause
Compiler phase timing isolated the residual to MIR lowering and body inference. Repeated operator/interface lookups rebuilt an eager package impl-candidate vector and rescanned every source and mounted impl for the same ground primitive/container types. The fix makes candidate production lazy and memoizes the dependency-tracked resolved impl set by interned ground type.
Runtime bytecode for the class-construction residual was instruction-identical to
d8ad5e58c, confirming VM overhead. Ordinary non-generic allocations and calls still created/moved empty rich type-argument containers; every frame carried dynamic-definition and exact-value lanes; static virtual-dispatch hits still reconstructed owned method/interface/receiver keys. The fix keeps those data structures on the BEP-066 path and leaves ordinary calls/allocations lean.Benchmarks

The empty-project improvement is consistent with removing fixed BEP-066 query/metadata overhead; no stdlib-content exception is needed.

Every measured regression is within +5%; workloads outside the negative side of the literal band are improvements and were not deliberately slowed.
