… methods #9169 added a per-instance prototype-override fast path that assumes the resolved method is a user closure. Three consequences, all on main: 1. A property-lookup MISS still returned, calling `undefined`. Perry synthesizes the iterator helpers (#2874) lower in the dispatch tower, so `[...gen().map(f)]` threw "undefined is not iterable". 2. The field-get twin returned `Some(undefined)` on a miss, hiding every synthesized arm below it — the plain-function `.prototype`, the boxed wrapper builtins. 3. `clone_closure_rebind_this` returns a NATIVE builtin unchanged (no CAPTURES_THIS_FLAG), and native bodies read their receiver from `js_implicit_this_get()`. Nothing bound it, so `Object.prototype.isPrototypeOf` saw no `this` and `Object(true).valueOf()` saw the wrong one. Take the fast path only for a resolved callable, return `None` rather than `Some(undefined)` on a field-get miss so the tail stays reachable, and bind IMPLICIT_THIS around the call with a guard that restores on unwind. A resolved hit is still authoritative, so #9169's own fix is preserved: issue_9131_prototype_method_replacement passes unchanged. Fixes #9244.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe runtime now distinguishes prototype-override misses from resolved callables. Misses continue through synthesized lookup and dispatch. Resolved native methods receive a bound receiver, and the regression test covers both behaviors. ChangesPrototype Override Dispatch

- Around line 1304-1308: The method resolution logic around the resolved check
must distinguish an absent prototype property from an explicitly present
non-callable override. Use a presence-aware override-chain lookup, fall through
to class-vtable dispatch only when the property is absent, and preserve the
normal non-callable call result for present values such as undefined or null.
Add regression coverage for both explicit undefined and null prototype
overrides.

Preserve explicit non-callable prototype overrides.
If Object.setPrototypeOf(counter, { inc: undefined }) defines inc, line 1304 treats that property as a miss. The call then reaches the class-vtable lookup at Line 2245 and invokes the original Counter.inc method.
Use a presence-aware lookup for the override chain. Fall through only when the property is absent. If the property exists but is non-callable, preserve the normal non-callable call result instead of dispatching the class method. Add regression cases for undefined and null.

…4 PRs through this hole in one day) (#9256) * docs(contributing): do not cancel the CI run of the PR being merged A cancelled job is neither a pass nor a failure, and two protections go quiet together: pr-gate never reports (so the required context is absent rather than red, which is what invites the bypass), and the changelog fragment check — a step inside lint, conditioned on pull_request — is skipped silently, so the omission stays invisible until release notes are cut. Both were observed on the same day. #9169 merged with lint failing and five jobs cancelled, breaking method dispatch and property lookup on main for four and a half hours (#9247). #9215, #9230 and #9235 each merged with lint CANCELLED; all three touched crates/, none carried a fragment, and the work is absent from its release notes. States explicitly that the gate is correct and should not be changed: gate in test.yml runs if: always() and treats cancelled as failure, exactly so a cancelled dependency cannot read as green. Every incident has been a bypass of a working gate. Docs only. * docs(contributing): teach 'pr-gate present and passing', not 'nothing red' A gate that never ran is absent from the status list, so it reads as clean under any failure filter — the same way CANCELLED does. 'pr-gate: pass' is a positive assertion that the fan-in ran and every dependency was success or skipped; '0 failing' is satisfied equally by a PR whose gate never executed. Extends the note to release automation, where the same hole exists one level up: a skipped or absent required context satisfies 'not failing', so the dispatch condition has to require conclusion == success. --------- Co-authored-by: Ralph Küpper <ralph@skelpo.com>

Fixes #9244.
mainis red on 4 gap tests that are expected to pass, blocking the v0.5.1519 release. Bisected to #9169 with a verified good endpoint — all four pass at its parenta722b4cca2and fail at89cde4ff14.Root cause
#9169 added an early-out at the top of
js_native_call_methodfor a receiver carryingOBJECT_META_FLAG_PROTO_OVERRIDE: resolve the method through ordinary property lookup, rebindthis, call it. That is right for a genuineObject.setPrototypeOfreplacement, but it assumes the resolved value is a user closure. Three consequences, each independently reproduced:1. A lookup MISS still returned. The block called
undefined. A generator carries the override flag and has no own or inheritedmap— Perry synthesizes the iterator helpers further down the dispatch tower (maybe_dispatch_helper_on_iterator, #2874) — so[...gen().map(f)]becameTypeError: undefined is not iterable.2. The field-get twin had the same shape.
inherited_field_if_overriddenwas inserted at both own-key misses inget_field_by_name_object_tailand deliberately returnedSome(undefined)on a miss ("do not resurrect the old class surface"). Everything Perry synthesizes below those two points — the plain-function.prototype, the builtin arms — became unreachable for any flagged receiver.3. The receiver was never bound for natives.
clone_closure_rebind_thisonly rewrites a closure carryingCAPTURES_THIS_FLAG; it returns a native builtin unchanged. Native bodies read their receiver fromjs_implicit_this_get()— the same #7576 property #9169's own commit message cites for the%IteratorPrototype%.nextTHUNK — soObject.prototype.isPrototypeOfsaw nothisandObject(true).valueOf()saw the wrong one.The premise is also wrong more broadly:
object_set_static_prototype(the variant that sets the flag) is called from ~20 runtime wiring sites —intl,messaging,node_inspector,disposable,web_storage,node_vm,wasi,cluster,dyn_eval,perf_hooks— none of them a usersetPrototypeOf. #9169 addressed exactly one (chain_to) by removing the flag from built-in iterators; this PR fixes the consumers instead, so the remaining sites stop mattering.Fix
IMPLICIT_THISaround the call with an RAII guard that restores on unwind.js_native_call_methodisextern "C-unwind"precisely so a JScatchstays reachable across the Rust frame, so a throwing callee is ordinary — a plain set/restore pair would leak the receiver into every later implicit-thisread once a method throws.This does not weaken #9169. Every case its own regression test asserts resolves on the overridden chain (
Object.setPrototypeOf(counter, { inc: () => 777 }),Object.setPrototypeOf(a, B.prototype)), so all stay on the fast path.Validation
