Runtime type metadata, garbage collection, and diagnostics preserve specialized values and report specialization failures. ChangesGeneric reflection descriptors
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR adds runtime generic reflection and specialization, but callers may receive a generic parameter count that does not match the number of arguments specialization accepts.

The two copies must stay in agreement, becausegeneric_paramsnames the parameter thatspecializethen reports in a bound-violation diagnostic.Extract one helper. A free function over
(&[String], usize)is also unit-testable without a liveBexVm, unlike the surrounding reflection code.Based on the coding guideline "Prefer writing Rust unit tests over integration tests where possible", extracting this parsing gives the bound-stripping rule a unit-testable home.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 8 included reviews per hour; 6 remain after this review.
`reflect.Package.functions()` now lists every declared function, generic ones included, and each entry is a descriptor that remembers the callable it was reflected from. `baml.reflect.function.Type` gains `is_generic()`, `generic_params()`, `specialize(args)`, and `get<F>()`. A generic descriptor has no realized function type — `RealizedTy` excludes the typevar axis — so it denotes `unknown` and refuses signature reads with a typed E0165 until `specialize` supplies its arguments. `specialize` checks arity, proves each supplied value against the parameter's declared interface bounds (E0167), and returns an anonymous specialized descriptor whose `get<F>()` applies `Package.get_function`'s contract check verbatim. The supplied `type` values ride on the specialized callable (`GenericFunction::exact_type_values`) rather than being re-minted, so a runtime-minted argument keeps its identity and its definition overlay into the callee's frame — which is what lets a specialized `$render_prompt` companion render the runtime class's own schema.
…dings The callable a reflected descriptor remembers is a GC edge, and `TypeValue` lives in six places that each walked its edges by hand: the collector's major/forwarding/young arms, a frame's exact type arguments, the pending-call lane, and the `runtime_type` provenance on classes and enums. Adding a pointer-bearing field meant editing all six, and missing one leaves a dangling pointer that `get_object`'s unchecked deref turns into UB rather than a panic. The walk now lives on the payload as `gc_edges()`/`forward_gc_edges()` — on `TypeValue`, `DynTypeDefs` and `RuntimeTypeProvenance`, with a `young_edges` filter for the minor arms — and every site calls it. Two pre-existing gaps fall out: a runtime class field's type value never had its `owner` forwarded, and the class/enum provenance arms duplicated the walk a third time. Bounds now resolve in the descriptor's world. `lookup_interface` roots at the executing frame's package, so an interface declared inside a `Package.compile`d package was invisible and every bound naming one rejected even conforming arguments. `ImplResolver` resolves the name against its `root_package` first and falls back to the lexical lookup — a goal can equally name an interface the inspected package borrowed from a mounted dependency. Exact type values are reported positionally, off the callable's own templates, instead of by structural type equality: a parameter written as a concrete type that happens to equal the supplied argument is not that type parameter and keeps its own identity. Also: E0167 -> E0169 (canary took 167 and 168 while this branch was open); re-specializing an already-bound descriptor gets its own message; a fully supplied frame that still fails to reconstruct throws instead of yielding a silently unreadable descriptor; the call hot path reads a `GenericFunction`'s two carried lanes from one deref; and `is_generic` no longer allocates to answer an arity question.

Align reflected generic names with the callee frame.
generic_param_bounds uses function_generic_frame, which includes interface Self, associated-type, and synthetic effect slots. display_type_params omits these slots, so generic_params() can report fewer entries than specialize() requires. A direct index lookup would also misname interface-method parameters. Iterate over callable.supplied..callable.declared and use a frame-aligned name mapping, with #{index} for unnamed slots.

Review round addressed. Rebased onto canary ( F1 — GC edges are structural now (blocker)Confirmed and fixed the way you asked.
Every site calls those; the six-copy pattern is gone. Two pre-existing gaps fell out of the consolidation: a runtime class field's type value never had its Tests: F2 — bounds in runtime-compiled packagesTook the preferred fix: Pinned by F3 — positional, not structural
The rest
GateFull pinned gate on the rebased tree, caps 24/24: 3838 tests run, 3838 passed, |
Two CI-only failures, neither covered by the pinned gate. `specialize_signature_unreconstructible` lost the backslash on its continued string literal, so the message it built carried the continuation's indentation and no longer matched its oracle row. That row lives in `baml_compiler_diagnostics`' own unit tests, which the pinned gate's package list does not include — the CI job that runs the whole workspace caught it. `lookup_interface_in` is `pub` and its doc linked `Self::package_for_type_in`, which is private: `cargo doc` runs with `-D warnings`, so `rustdoc::private_intra_doc_links` failed the whole crate. Named in plain backticks instead.

CI red is fixed. Both failures were real, and neither was a feature-flag problem — my pinned gate simply does not run the crates that caught them. 1.

Stale head (1570ca9): the flagged signature_type_value structural-match Major was fixed in the review round on 2e07236 — descriptor_exact_positions now substitutes TypeArgRef(i) positionally, with a regression test that fails under the old rule (verified by the independent adversarial review). Remaining round content: structural TypeValue::gc_edges GC fix + tests, package-rooted bounds with lexical fallback, E0169 renumber.
Implements the reserved half of
B-1582 item 3 — the ratified
specialization API. #4501 fixed everything about runtime types that did not need
a new surface; this is the surface.
What it looks like
baml.reflect.function.Typegains:is_generic(self) -> bool throws nevergeneric_params(self) -> GenericParam[] throws neverspecialize(self, args: type[]) -> Type throws CompilationErrorget<F>(self) -> F? throws CompilationErrorFcontractPackage.functions()now lists every declared function, generics included.Why the listing changed
The omission was never a decision:
functions()filter_mapped overfunction_type, which returnedNonewhenevercallable_signaturefailed —which is exactly what an unspecialized generic does (
TyTemplate::substitutehits
TypeArgRefOutOfRange, and.ok()erases it). "Listed but not extractable"already existed on canary for generic companions since #4501. This PR makes both
states first-class and actionable instead of a dead end.
How it works
A reflection kind view is the
Object::Typevalue (as_typereturns thereceiver), so a descriptor has to be a
typevalue that also remembers itscallable. Two additive, provenance-only payload fields:
TypeValue.callable: HeapPtr— theObject::GenericFunctiona descriptorwas reflected from, null everywhere else. Outside the identity tuple:
==/Hashstay mint-only, so two descriptors of equal type remain equal type values. GC
traces it exactly like
owner.GenericFunction.exact_type_values: Option<Box<[Option<TypeValue>]>>(
#[borsh(skip)],Nonefor every compile-time instantiation, so pooledinterned objects stay byte-identical) — the exact
typevalues behindtype_args.execute_call_from_locals_offsetseeds the callee'sFrameTypeMetadatafrom it, which is howLoadTypehands the body'stype.of<T>()back the caller's own minted value with itsDynTypeDefsoverlay attached. Without that lane the specialized
$render_promptcompanionwould render a bare unresolvable name instead of the runtime class's schema.
Everything else is assembly of parts that already existed:
type_args.len() < generic_param_bounds.len(), the samequestion
unspecialized_generic_callable_nameasks (vm.rs:2636).validate_runtime_generic_boundsruns before entering aruntime-checked generic call: substitute the bound's
args/assocagainst thecompleted frame, then
ImplResolver::type_implements. Rooted at the suppliedvalue's dynamic world (
for_value) so a runtime-minted type's impls arevisible, and reported as a typed diagnostic instead of a bare "mismatched types".
baml.AnyClasskeeps its feat(reflect): apply the AnyClass follow-up rulings #4493 carve-out for free.specialize— build aGenericFunctionwith the completedtype_argsplusthe exact values;
callable_signaturethen reconstructs. Specialize ≈ "makecallable_signaturesucceed".get<F>—Package.get_function's contract check, factored intocheck_function_contractand shared verbatim.Contract changes to existing pins
Each of these is a deliberate change to something previously pinned:
Package.functions()lists unspecialized generics.function_listing_omits_unspecialized_generics→function_listing_includes_unspecialized_generics, now also assertingis_generic()on the generic entry and its absence on the concrete one.The stdlib docstring's "unspecialized generic functions are omitted" claim is

Review round
GC edges are structural now (blocker).
TypeValuecarries three heappointers — its owning package, its definition overlay, and (new here) a
descriptor's callable — and six sites walked that set by hand: the collector's
major/forwarding/young arms, a frame's exact type arguments, the pending-call
lane, and the
runtime_typeprovenance on classes and enums. Adding a fieldmeant editing all six, and missing one leaves a dangling pointer that
get_object's unchecked deref turns into UB rather than a panic — which isexactly what the first cut of this PR did. The walk now lives on the payload as
TypeValue::gc_edges()/forward_gc_edges()(with the same pair onDynTypeDefsandRuntimeTypeProvenance, and ayoung_edgesfilter for theminor-collection arms), and every site calls it. The six-copy pattern is gone,
so the next pointer-bearing field cannot repeat this. Two pre-existing gaps fell
out: a runtime class field's type value never had its
ownerforwarded, and theclass/enum provenance arms duplicated the same walk a third time.
Covered by a unit test that roots and forwards a callable-bearing frame value,
plus two BAML tests that collect between every step — one holding a descriptor
across collections and then specializing/extracting/calling it, one specializing
with a runtime-minted class and reading
type.of<T>()back out of the calleeafter a collection.
Bounds resolve in the descriptor's world, not the caller's.
lookup_interfacegoes through
package_for_type, which roots at the executing frame's runtimepackage. A bound declared inside a
Package.compiled package isLocalto thatpackage, so proving it from a host call site found no interface, no rules, and
rejected every argument — including conforming ones.
ImplResolvernow resolvesthe interface name against its
root_packagefirst and falls back to thelexical lookup (the name-resolution half of what
for_packagealready did forrules), and
specializeroots at the descriptor's package. The fallback matters:a goal can equally name an interface the inspected package borrowed from a
mounted dependency, which is local to that dependency and only resolvable the
lexical way — rooting alone broke
scenario_6'sPlanThenAct implements app.AgentAction. Pinned by a test that compiles a package declaring theinterface, a conforming class, and a non-conforming one: before the fix the
conforming type was rejected.
Exact values are positional, not structural.
params()/return_type()matched the supplied values against the reconstructed types by structural

caller's type argument whenever the two happened to coincide. The mapping is now

(telling the caller it "is not generic" pointed at the wrong mistake); a fully

Notes
typevalue, so descriptor equality is typeequality — mint-only, and a specialization's mint is the static digest of
its reconstructed function type. Two descriptors specialized from different
runtime classes therefore compare equal when their signatures do not mention
the type parameter (a
$render_promptcompanion is exactly that shape), eventhough their
return_type()s differ. That is the BEP-066 rule working asdesigned — the descriptor denotes a function type, not an instantiation — but
it is worth knowing before anyone keys a cache on one.

adding one class and four methods to the stdlib:
