The frontend's syntax trees and program state refer to each other, so
reference counting frees almost none of them when a build disposes the
frontend. Whether a cycle pass reclaimed them before the build ended
depended on where the collector's schedule happened to be. Passes during
the frontend found its data live and widened the growth fractions, so the
next pass waited until the heap had grown well past its size at disposal,
and the dead frontend and the emitter's garbage stayed until the build
ended.
The native compiler now runs scr_collect_cycles_phase right after it
disposes the frontend, through a host function. The runtime entry point
sweeps, then restarts the growth fractions and the death rule's backoff
from the heap the sweep leaves, as after a productive pass. Under Node
the hook is unset.
* feat: ship the self-hosted native scriptc CLI
- Run the shared compiler and CLI natively, including library builds and compile-time evaluation.
- Install native platform packages and ship relocatable standalone distributions.
- Preserve program semantics and reuse validated build artifacts for fast rebuilds.
* fix: complete native CLI integration and validation
- Preserve library diagnostics and run recursive compiler work on the main stack.
- Restore packaged helper permissions and exercise native npm and Wasm library builds.
- Recover interrupted Sandbox status probes within the original command deadline.
- Launch and manage TypeScript server processes through a portable native FFI boundary.
- Share the production session API between Node and statically compiled clients.
- Preserve Unicode command-line arguments and release server resources on every exit path.
