fix(wasm): super.m() runs the parent's method - #14666
On --target web, super.m() inside a class method returned undefined. A class method lowers super.m() to ObjectSuperMethodCall (home = ClassMethodHome), and the wasm emitter had no arm for it. The older SuperMethodCall arm, still used in constructors, was broken in three ways:
it wrote its argument slots before opening its frame;
it dispatched from the receiver's own class rather than from the parent;
it passed a STRING-tagged id, while class_call_method reads a string-table index.
Both forms now go through a new class_call_super(receiver, currentClass, key, args) bridge, whose lookup starts at the parent of the class whose method is running. compile_class_method now takes the class name and sets current_class for methods, getters and setters; before this, only constructors set it. ObjectSuperMethodCall is handled only when current_class is set, so object-literal homes behave as before.
Found while running #12957's repro on the web target. #12957 also needs #14665 (classes as values).
Merge order: this PR, #14664 and #14665 each append a test at the end of emit/tests.rs and touch nothing else in common (checked with git merge-tree). Whichever lands later needs a trivial rebase that keeps both test blocks.
Changed: crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/expr/classes.rs, emit/function.rs, emit/string_collection.rs, wasm_runtime.js (+ a test in emit/tests.rs).
Test plan
Run on macOS arm64 against a pristine build of main:
cargo test --release -p perry-codegen-wasm --lib: 77 passed / 0 failed (main 76). The new test, a_super_method_call_runs_the_parent_implementation, covers:
the method form;
a grandparent reached through a class that doesn't define the method;
the constructor form.
It fails with the fix reverted.
bash tests/integration/wasm/run_wasm_tests.sh: 30 / 3. The same three fail on main (04_functions, 10_higher_order, 19_ffi_imports).
BASE_SHA=<merge-base> SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1 bash scripts/run_lint_gates.sh: FAIL set identical to main's.
Clippy on perry-codegen-wasm: unchanged.
No parity subject owns these paths.
Checklist
I have NOT bumped the workspace version or edited CHANGELOG.md
My commits follow the loose feat: / fix: / docs: / chore: prefix convention used in the log
I've read CONTRIBUTING.md and agree to the Code of Conduct
On the web target, super.method() now calls the parent implementation from methods, getters, setters, constructors, and arrow functions within them—even when the current class does not define that method.
Parent methods retain the current object as their receiver, including across multiple levels of inheritance.
An ancestor getter or setter-only accessor with the same name takes precedence over a method farther up the inheritance chain.
The method is resolved before call arguments are evaluated, and non-callable values produce a TypeError.
The WASM target now emits super.m() calls with class context. The runtime searches the parent chain and invokes a matching method or getter with the original receiver. Eligible arrow closures in instance contexts retain their class context.

Closure records include arrow status. The compiler maps arrows from constructors, instance methods, accessors, and instance-field initializers to their class. Method and accessor emission records class context.
Runtime dispatch and validation crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/expr/classes.rs, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/wasm_runtime.js, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/string_collection.rs, crates/perry-codegen-wasm/src/emit/tests.rs, changelog.d/14666-wasm-super-method-call.md
Super-call expressions read the property before evaluating arguments and pass it to class_super_call. The runtime searches parent classes, checks accessors, and invokes callable values with the receiver. Tests cover receiver preservation, lookup precedence, arrow resolution, and TypeErrors.
This change makes super.m() call the parent's method on the web target, including inside arrow functions and across accessor shadowing. Two rare edge cases remain: Symbol-keyed super lookups and Object.prototype getters that depend on the receiver. They are unlikely to affect typical code, so the change is mergeable with owner awareness.

Explanation
The title names the main change: super.m() on the wasm target now runs the parent's method instead of returning undefined. The changeset adds a super lookup and call bridge in the wasm codegen and runtime, and the title matches that fix. The title is short, uses the conventional fix(wasm) prefix, and avoids file lists.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has a Summary that explains the bug and the fix, and a Changes list that names the affected files. The Related issue section is missing; the author cites #12957 only as a repro source and as a dependency, not as a linked issue. The Test plan lists the commands run and their results. The checklist is filled in, and the author confirms no version bump or CHANGELOG edit. The template's checklist items for the test fixture under tests/fixtures/programs/ and the docs/src/ update are not addressed, and the description does not say whether the change is user-facing. The Screenshots section is optional and absent, which is acceptable. The Summary also lacks the explicit 'fixes #' reference.
Resolution
Optional improvements: add an explicit Related issue line (for example 'Refs #12957' or 'n/a'), and state whether the template's fixture and docs checklist items apply to this user-facing change.

Pass the declaring class into arrow-function closures so super.m() in an arrow resolves from the enclosing class.
The PR sets current_class for class methods, constructors, and accessors. compile_closure creates a separate context and does not set current_class. A super.m() inside an arrow function in a class method therefore reaches class_call_super with class id 0. The lookup does not start at the parent of the enclosing class. The stated fix does not cover this path.
Carry the declaring class name into closure compilation, and set ctx.current_class in compile_closure before the body is emitted. The lowering or closure-collection code must supply that class name for each closure. This is not shown in the inspected code, so this comment does not include a patch.

On --target web `super.m()` in a class method returned undefined: a class
method lowers it to `ObjectSuperMethodCall`, which the emitter did not handle,
and the plain `SuperMethodCall` arm wrote its argument slots before opening its
frame and dispatched from the receiver's own class with a string id where
`class_call_method` reads a table index.
Both forms now call the `class_call_super` bridge with the receiver, the class
whose method is running, the key and the arguments; the lookup starts at that
class's parent. Class methods, getters and setters are compiled with
`current_class` set, as constructors already were.

An arrow inside a class method was compiled without current_class, so
its `super.m()` reached class_call_super with class id 0 and returned
undefined. Closure collection now records the class of each arrow found
in a constructor, instance method, accessor or instance field
initializer, and compile_closure sets current_class from it. Static
members stay unmarked, as their bodies are compiled without one; other
closures (an object literal's method) keep their own home object.
class_call_super now checks `__get_<m>` before the method `m` at each
class in the walk, so the nearest accessor shadows an ancestor's method.

Review follow-up (rebased onto main 5608505, head 1ada4b6):
function.rs:328, super.m() in an arrow inside a class method: valid, fixed.compile_closure built its context without current_class, so class_call_super got class id 0 and returned undefined.
Closure collection now records is_arrow for each closure. The tuple is now a CollectedClosure alias, which also removes three clippy type_complexity warnings.
compile() maps each arrow found in a constructor, instance method, accessor or instance field initializer to its class. compile_closure sets current_class from that map.
Static members stay unmapped, because this PR compiles static method bodies without current_class.
Non-arrow closures stay unmapped: an object literal's method has its own home object.
New test a_super_method_call_in_an_arrow_starts_at_the_enclosing_class: class B2 extends A2 { m() { const f = () => super.m(); ... } } gives B2>A2. Mutation check: with only the ctx.current_class = home_class line removed, the test fails (B2>undefined).
Limit: the test's parent method does not read this. On web, an arrow's this is not yet the instance; a separate arrow-this fix covers that, and it is not part of this PR. So when the parent method reads this through an arrow's super, the right method is now found but receives the wrong this. That currently throws Cannot read properties of undefined where it used to yield undefined. It will be correct once arrow-this lands.
Object-literal super is broken on web regardless (({ __proto__: p, m() { return super.m(); } }).m() gives undefined even at top level), so the object-literal exclusion has no observable test here.
wasm_runtime.js:2254, getter shadowing a method in class_call_super: valid, fixed. At each class in the walk, class_call_super now checks __get_<m> before m. It calls the getter on the original receiver, then calls the result with the args: a host function through __callHostFunction with that receiver, a Perry closure through closure_call_spread. The walk stops at that class. I check per class rather than over the whole chain as class_get_field does, because the nearest class that defines either name wins, as on a prototype chain. New test a_super_method_call_reads_a_shadowing_getter (C extends B extends A, B has get m) gives C>B.get. Mutation check: with only the getter block removed, the test fails (C>A.m).
Both mutations were restored, and shasums match the committed files. An end-to-end run of perry compile --target web on both cases prints the same output as node --experimental-strip-types.
Local gates, each run on this branch and on main 5608505: cargo test --release -p perry-codegen-wasm passes. rustfmt --check is clean. cargo clippy -p perry-codegen-wasm adds no new warnings (three fewer). run_wasm_tests.sh gives 30/3 on both, with the same failing tests (04_functions, 10_higher_order, 19_ffi_imports). run_lint_gates.sh (SKIP_COMPILE_GATES=1) has 20 FAILs on both, and the FAIL set is identical.
CI: warnings and lint are also red on PRs that touch no wasm code:

Read the super property before evaluating call arguments.
The emitter evaluates Expr::Array(args) before entering class_call_super. This getter therefore runs after the argument expressions.
If the getter records state and the call is super.m(state = 1), the getter observes 1 instead of the previous value. Argument side effects can also change which callable the getter returns.
Split property lookup from invocation. Evaluate the getter before the arguments, then invoke its result with the original receiver.

The super call is split into class_super_get, which reads the property
before the arguments are evaluated, and class_super_call, which invokes
what it read with the original receiver. The lookup now stops at a
setter-only accessor (its read value is undefined), falls back to
Object.prototype past the class chain, and calling a value that is not
callable throws a TypeError instead of returning undefined.

Re the three CodeRabbit points on wasm_runtime.js ~2255–2259: all three are valid and fixed in bebd219.
(a) Setter-only accessor: the super lookup now stops at a class that registers only __set_m. The read value is undefined, so super.m() throws a TypeError and no longer reaches the ancestor's m. Test: a_super_method_call_stops_at_a_setter_only_accessor.
(b) Read super.m before the arguments: the emitter now splits lookup from invocation. class_super_get(this, cls, key) reads the property (getter, method or setter-only stop) before the argument array is evaluated. class_super_call(callee, this, key, args) then invokes the value it read, with the original receiver. A computed key is evaluated only once. The change is about 20 lines in emit_super_method_call. Test: a_super_method_call_reads_the_property_before_the_arguments (super.m(state = 1) makes the getter see 0, giving 0:1 as in Node).
(c) Non-callable getter result:class_super_call throws TypeError: (intermediate value).m is not a function for anything that is not a host function, a compiled method or a Perry closure. Before, closure_call_spread returned undefined. Test: a_super_method_call_of_a_non_callable_getter_result_throws_type_error (getters returning null and 42).
Side effects of the split: a name that no class in the chain defines now resolves on Object.prototype, so super.toString() works, and an undefined result throws instead of silently returning undefined. A compiled method found by the lookup still receives its arguments as Perry values, so closure arguments stay closures.
Verification: expected outputs come from Node 26.12.1. All three tests fail on the previous head 1ada4b6 and pass now. Mutation checks: reverting the whole fix makes all three fail, and they pass again after restoring with an identical shasum. Removing only the __set_ stop fails (a). Replacing only the throw with return undefined fails (c).
Gates, compared with the PR base 5608505: cargo test -p perry-codegen-wasm 82/82; wasm integration suite 30/3, the same failures as base; rustfmt clean on the changed .rs files; clippy warnings for the crate 11 on base, 8 here (none new); run_lint_gates.sh (SKIP_COMPILE_GATES) has the same FAIL set as base.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Preserve Symbol keys during super lookup.
If mname is a Symbol, String(mname) changes the property identity. For example, if a host defines a callable at Object.prototype[Symbol.iterator], super[Symbol.iterator]() searches the string "Symbol(Symbol.iterator)" and throws instead.
Preserve Symbol keys through lookup. Do not construct the string-only __get_ and __set_ keys for Symbols. ECMAScript ToPropertyKey preserves Symbols. (tc39.es)

Use the original receiver for fallback getters.
If Object.prototype defines a getter that returns this.cb, this read invokes the getter with Object.prototype as this. An instance-owned cb is therefore missed. class_super_call then throws instead of calling the instance's function.
Use Reflect.get(Object.prototype, name, obj) so the fallback getter receives obj. Property lookup must carry the receiver into the getter call. (tc39.es)
