+perf(hir): #6812 — straight-line builder sequences (`const o = {…}; o.k = v; …`) fold into the object literal they spell out before lowering, routing them through the anon-shape literal machinery (shape-cached keys, typed slots, direct stores) instead of N dynamic transition writes. The matrix's worst real-world row (fresh-object builds) improves 7.6× (186× → 25× vs node); conservative guards (`__proto__`, duplicates, accessor/spread literals, self-referencing values) keep the rewrite unobservable — a non-matching shape lowers exactly as before.

+perf(codegen): #6812 — widen whole-loop object-write clone eligibility: multiplication in numeric RHS (endpoint-product interval bounds), `let`-declared receiver aliases (reassignment is structurally impossible in the matched region), and the `let i = 0; while (i < N)` spelling of the counted inner loop. Three matrix rows move from 6–9× node to 0.62–0.75× (beating node); the emitter needed no changes — it already finalizes counter slots on the fast edge. Also restores the packed-f64 index-offset matcher's exact Add|Sub guard after a mis-scoped widening was caught pre-merge (multiplied-index sanity added to the validation set).

+//! #6812: fold straight-line "builder" sequences into the object literal
+//! they spell out, before lowering.
+//!
+//! ```ts
+//! const o: any = {};
+//! o.a = i; o.b = r + i; o.c = f(x);
+//! ```
+//! lowers today as an empty-object allocation plus N dynamic transition
+//! writes (~500 ns each: PIC-ineligible `class_id == 0` receiver, keys-array
+//! transitions, barriers). Folded into `const o = { a: i, b: r + i, c: f(x) }`
+//! it flows through the anon-shape literal machinery (shape-cached keys
+//! array, typed slots, direct stores) — the path that already beats node.
+//!
+//! Soundness argument (why the rewrite is unobservable):
+//! - The appended value expressions run in the same order at the same
+//!   sequence points; only the allocation moves AFTER them, and a bare
+//!   object allocation has no user-visible effects.
+//! - Values must not reference the bound name (checked conservatively by
+//!   symbol name anywhere in the value expression, ignoring shadowing), so
+//!   no expression can observe the half-built object.
+//! - If a value throws, the original leaves a partially-built object bound
+//!   to a local no live code can reach (the following statements never run,
+//!   and the values captured no reference to it) — indistinguishable.
+//! - Keys are literal identifiers / string literals only; `__proto__` is
+//!   excluded (assignment triggers the prototype setter; a literal key
+//!   would define a plain property). Duplicate keys stop the fold (the
+//!   original overwrote in place; combined with accessors that could
+//!   differ). Literals already containing accessor/spread/computed/method
+//!   props are left untouched entirely — an appended key could otherwise
+//!   turn a setter invocation into a redefinition.
+//! - Only `Pat::Ident` bindings qualify; the declarator may carry any type
+//!   annotation. Exported declarations are skipped (scope kept tight).
+//!
+//! A miss here is only a missed optimization: unmatched shapes lower
+//! exactly as before.

+# Object-write coverage matrix (#6812)
+
+Status: MEASURED (triage pass) — path column derived from code gates on
+`main` @ `8bda0351e`; numbers are medians of 3 alternated runs on the RECORDED runtime (node v26.3.0 — re-pin here when the comparison baseline moves),
+macOS arm64, release + default pipeline, checksums identical on every cell
+(raw samples: `matrix_raw_2026-07-25.csv`; ambient load ~7 — cells promoted
+to PR evidence get the full 15-run idle protocol). Goal per the raised bar:
+**beat node on every row** or justify the fallback by semantics / measured
+lack of benefit.
+
+## The three write mechanisms and their gates
+
+1. **Whole-loop numeric clone** (`stmt/loops.rs::match_object_array_write_loop`
+   → `lower_object_array_write_versioned_for`; preflight
+   `js_object_array_numeric_write_guard`): constant-counted nested `for`s,
+   inner from 0 (bound ≤ 16M), one immutable `const o = objs[i]` alias, ≤ 4
+   static-key writes to it, RHS numeric expressions over counters/constants,
+   no calls/allocations/labels; preflight proves dense same-shape prefix,
+   writable own slots, layout. Strongest path: call-free, barrier-free body.
+2. **Static-key write PIC** (`expr/proxy_reflect.rs::lower_put_value_static_write_ic`,
+   4-entry polymorphic since #6823; miss/priming
+   `proxy/put_value.rs::js_put_value_set_ic_miss`): static (interned/const)
+   key, target ≡ receiver expression, safepoint-free RHS, heap object,
+   non-forwarded, blocking flags clear (frozen/sealed/no-extend/descriptors/
+   typed-intact), `object_type == REGULAR`, **`class_id != 0`**, shape-token
+   match (id-or-keys discriminated), slot in bounds.
+3. **Runtime fast path** (header-first classification + existing-own-data
+   overwrite routing in `js_object_set_field_by_name` / `put_value_set`):
+   everything else that is still an ordinary data write.
+
+## Matrix
+
+Ratio = perry/node median (fill from measurement; `<1` = beating node).
+
+| cell | shape of the write | path (gate) | perry ms | node ms | ratio | verdict |
+|---|---|---|---:|---:|---:|---|
+| w0_canonical | 2 static writes, const alias, nested const `for`s, `+`/`-` RHS | whole-loop clone | 6 | 9 | **0.67** | BEATS node |
+| w1_three_writes | 3 static writes, same loop | whole-loop clone (≤4 fields) | 7 | 9 | **0.78** | BEATS node |
+| w2_one_write | 1 static write | whole-loop clone | 5 | 7 | **0.71** | BEATS node |
+| w3_mul_rhs | RHS uses `*` | NOT clone (`Add\|Sub` only) → PIC | 47 | 7 | 6.7 | GAP: extend numeric matcher |
+| w4_dyn_bound | inner bound `objs.length` | NOT clone (const bounds only) → PIC | 51 | 8 | 6.4 | GAP: length-stable versioning |
+| w5_while | same body, `while` form | NOT clone (`for`-only) → PIC | 46 | 7 | 6.6 | GAP: while normalization |
+| w6_call_in_body | user call inside body | NOT clone → PIC + call | 100 | 7 | 14.3 | GAP: call-tolerant clone / inlining |
+| w7_mut_alias | `let o = objs[i]` | NOT clone (const alias only) | 70 | 8 | 8.8 | GAP: SSA no-reassign proof |
+| w8_helper_mono | writes inside helper fn, mono | static-key PIC hit (~10 ns/write) | 47 | 8 | 5.9 | GAP: call overhead + guard chain vs node's full inlining |
+| w9_poly2 | 2 shapes through one site | PIC entries 1–2 | 27 | 6 | 4.5 | GAP: same as w8 + entry chain |
+| w10_poly8 | 8 shapes through one site | PIC exhausted → runtime miss | 27 | 19 | 1.4 | close; megamorphic path is decent |
+| w11_stable_dynkey | `o[k]`, `const k = "c"` | clone (const-string local = static) | 6 | 8 | **0.75** | BEATS node |
+| w12_arb_dynkey | rotating keys from array | generic | 84 | 18 | 4.7 | GAP: GC-safe dynamic-key cache |
+| w13_int_key | `o[7]` on plain object | generic numeric-as-property | 160 | 13 | 12.3 | GAP |
+| w15_append_build | fresh `{}` + 6 assigns (builder) | *(pre-#6829 baseline)* generic transitions; `class_id==0` blocks PIC | 1489 → 196 (#6829) | 8 | 186 → 25 | #6829 folds builders into literals; residual tracked below |
+| w16_overflow_slot | writes past inline capacity | runtime (PIC bounds reject) | 4150 | 23 | **180** | TOP GAP — wide objects |
+| w17_alloc_rhs | allocating RHS (`"s"+i`) | NOT PIC (safepoint-free rule) | 26 | 18 | 1.4 | close; revisit only with receiver-reload design |
+| w18_class_inst | class instances via `any` | PIC | 6 | 12 | **0.50** | BEATS node (best row) |
+
+### Reading of the triage pass
+
+- **Beating node already (5 rows):** everything the whole-loop clone covers,
+  plus class instances through the PIC. The #6811/#6823 architecture wins
+  when it applies.
+- **Two catastrophic rows (~180×), both ubiquitous in real code:**
+  the builder pattern (fresh `{}` + property assigns — every API response,
+  parser, ORM row) and wide-object overflow-slot writes. These dominate the
+  broad-impact ranking by an order of magnitude.
+- **A coherent 5–9× family** (w3–w8): each is one narrow eligibility rule of
+  the clone matcher; per-write PIC at ~10 ns/write is the shared floor. The
+  fix is widening clone eligibility, not touching the PIC.
+- **Megamorphic (w10) and allocating-RHS (w17) are near-node already** —
+  deprioritize.
+
+Not modeled as micros (justified fallbacks unless measurement says otherwise):
+symbol keys (separate table semantics), frozen/sealed/descriptor receivers
+(semantic guards must fire), proxies/exotics (trap semantics), typed-layout
+locked objects (raw-f64 invariants).
+
+## Broad-workload guard rails
+
+Every optimization slice must hold or improve: `babel_init` whole-process,
+`benchmarks/app-patterns`, `honest_bench` — no benchmark-shaped regressions
+hiding behind micro wins.
