fix: preserve sparse class annotations in host return containers - #5419
A registered host class carries its nominal name and generic arguments in a sparse inbound annotation; its payload is anonymous. The host-return guard already recognizes this annotation at the root, but recursive list/map checks unwrap it and compare the anonymous payload instead. This rejects non-empty class containers before the engine can apply its existing inbound coercion and schema validation.
In the shared native/Wasm return validator, preserve sparse annotations while trying union members and reuse the existing root annotation check for nested class nodes before unwrapping their payloads. Alias checks continue to defer to the engine, which has the definitions. The production change stays inside one matcher; bridge guards, engine materialization, and inbound generic inference stay in place.
Reproduced on unchanged canary 8c4c6a1552: Box<Item[]> and Box<map<string, Item>> succeed as callback returns, but Item[], map<string, Item>, Box<int>[], map<string, Box<int>>, and nested containers fail. All these shapes succeed as inbound arguments. With this change, every shape succeeds as a callback return too. Generic controls use explicit type bindings to isolate annotation preservation from erased-generic inference.
Add Rust regressions for ordinary and generic class annotations inside lists, maps, nested containers, and optional contexts, including wrong class identities and generic arguments. Add Node argument/return regressions covering the six ticket shapes, generic classes, nested containers, sync/async callbacks, and rejection of invalid fields and type arguments. Recursive alias list/map controls preserve existing schema validation and error behavior.
Consolidate runtime schema metadata, declaration roots, and FFI lookup maps into RuntimeSchemaOverlay. The sys-op context and recursive inbound conversion share one captured overlay; the separate RuntimeTypeOverlay and InboundRuntimeOverlay structs and conversion wrappers are removed. Package declarations and entry-point bindings use GC-aware handles, and explicit type arguments retain lookup precedence. Canary’s model-facing llm_shapes and their reachable declarations are captured in the same overlay for answer-description ops. The identity regression now captures two same-named runtime classes across a moving collection, materializes a nested class return against the correct declaration, and rejects a bad nested field.
Testing
Before the fix: the new Rust regression fails; the Node suite reproduces five container failures while both generic-box controls pass.
Before rebasing, the consolidation passed 167 engine library tests, 125 integration tests, 50 Node callback/container/typemap tests, and Clippy. Rebased onto canary 166bbc0704 to include the concurrent LLM-shape and cancellation changes; final-head validation and CI/review are in progress on 6c6bc1b1af.
PR Checklist
Reviewed the diff and followed the repository style.
Added positive and negative regression coverage.
Commented the annotation boundary; no new warnings.
No UI changes; screenshots are not applicable.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Improved validation of class-typed values in lists, maps, optional values, and nested containers. Values with mismatched class names or generic arguments are checked against their annotations before their payloads are evaluated.
Improved handling of runtime-defined types during value conversion, so values are resolved and validated against the appropriate type declarations.
Tests
Added coverage for class-valued containers and recursive aliases passed through TypeScript functions and callbacks, including checks that invalid values are rejected.
Added coverage for runtime type identity and validation of returned values.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.

Walkthrough
Runtime declaration lookup and inbound conversion now use a shared RuntimeSchemaOverlay. Host return validation preserves sparse class annotations while checking nested values. Rust and TypeScript tests cover class values in containers, generic arguments, aliases, and host-callable returns.
Changes: Runtime-backed host return validation

Summary
Runtime schema overlay construction baml_language/crates/bex_engine/src/lib.rs
RuntimeSchemaOverlay gathers declarations reachable from arguments and explicit type arguments. Runtime declarations are retained by identity, and tests cover same-name declarations across moving GC.
Overlay propagation through conversion baml_language/crates/bex_engine/src/lib.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_engine/src/conversion.rs
Entry-point preparation, sys-op execution, and inbound conversion use the shared overlay. Recursive conversion passes it through containers, class fields, union payloads, and prompt/media wrappers. Runtime declaration handles are resolved during conversion.
Sparse annotation validation and bridge tests baml_language/crates/bex_external_types/src/host_return.rs, baml_language/sdks/typescript/bridge_typescript/tests/host_callable_containers.test.ts
Union matching unwraps genuine union carriers while retaining sparse annotations during member checks. Class validation checks the annotation before unwrapping its payload. Tests cover nested containers, generic arguments, aliases, mismatches, and callback returns.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 6c6bc
The change is mergeable with a bounded test-coverage gap: the callback tests do not independently verify that mismatched generic annotations are rejected. Add an otherwise valid payload with a mismatched annotation to protect that behavior.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 6c6bc
The inspected paths retain type and payload checks while allowing previously rejected nested class returns. No introduced security bypass was established. Risk remains low rather than minimal because the broader effects of runtime declaration resolution have not been fully verified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated exposure is host-controlled return data entering an invocation’s VM heap, with additional runtime declarations available from that invocation’s captured type and package context. The inspected builder does not let return payload names register arbitrary declarations.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Host values remain subject to expected-kind checks before materialization. Opaque carriers receive post-materialization checks; class and enum checks compare declaration pointers when resolution succeeds. Resolution failure retains preexisting permissive behavior, so these checks are not an unconditional identity guarantee.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — The unchanged preliminary validator uses compiled name-based schemas while materialization can now select runtime schemas. Same-name declarations may therefore disagree between stages, but the inspected materializer still validates the selected declaration’s fields. This supports a compatibility uncertainty, not an established security bypass.

Explanation
Issue #5226 requires non-empty registered class values to pass host-callable returns for Item[] and map<string, Item>, while preserving existing argument and nested-field behavior. The reported matcher change preserves sparse annotations during union matching and checks annotated class nodes before payload unwrapping. The new TypeScript suite covers the six issue shapes, synchronous and asynchronous callbacks, arguments, and invalid values. The reported Rust regressions cover nested and optional containers and class identity or generic mismatches.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes remain connected to issue #5226. The shared RuntimeSchemaOverlay refactor supplies the schema, declaration handles, and lookup data needed by inbound conversion and host-return validation. The Rust and TypeScript coverage tests the same annotation, schema-validation, generic, nested-container, and declaration-identity paths. No concrete unrelated product change is established.

A rabbit checks each class in line Through nested maps and lists so fine The schema handles keep their place While aliases join the checking race Callback returns pass through the gate And mismatched fields receive their fate The rabbit thumps: types validate!

Make the generic annotation the reason for rejection.
Both cases use value: 'bad' for Box<int>. The invalid field independently causes rejection. Use value: 7 with $types: { T: 'string' } so these tests detect a mismatched generic annotation.
