`scriptc build|run --detached-exit` opts an executable into handing the address-space teardown after process.exit to a helper process on Linux. The helper shares the address space (CLONE_VM), blocks signals, closes every descriptor but the read end of a pipe and waits for EOF on it. The kernel releases an exiting process's memory (exit_mm) before its files (exit_files), so EOF means the helper holds the last reference; it then exits and the kernel frees the pages there instead of before the parent sees the exit (30-40 ms per GB of 4 KiB pages; tsc-ts 20-110 ms). The same latency mold hides with --fork.
It is a build-time choice, not a run-time knob, because the helper keeps the executable mapped (overwriting the binary right after it exits can fail with ETXTBSY) and the memory charged to the cgroup for up to ~100 ms, and the teardown CPU time leaves the parent's rusage. The program object defines `scr_detached_exit = 1`, overriding the runtime's weak default of 0, so no runtime flavor or linker flag is added. The option is part of the early executable cache and route keys; executables only, no effect on other platforms.
- Sort primitive arrays with stable native ordering and pure conversion keys.
- Preserve sparse semantics and argument effects while avoiding callback overhead.
- Verify Unicode ordering and ownership across native and WASI paths.
- Enforce oxlint and oxfmt for owned JavaScript and TypeScript with independent CI checks.
- Preserve compiler import boundaries and protected fixtures while cleaning up lint findings.
- Standardize source formatting and validate import, fixture, and embedded-source protections.
- Remove C emission, debugging options, and automatic backend fallback.
- Complete LLVM lowering and native bootstrap coverage across supported targets.
- Link executables and libraries with precompiled C runtime packs, including iOS and Android.
* fix(windows): support GUI executables
- Add Windows subsystem selection across executable link paths and cache keys.
- Verify PE subsystem output and add Windows CI coverage.
