What

Both generic_computed_member_key and lower_well_known_computed_method decide
which well-known-symbol class members get special lowering. They must agree.
#9226 hand-copied a subset into the former, and they drifted. This makes
both ask one shared predicate.

Root cause

#9226 replaced the old "any well-known symbol" exemption with an explicit list:

well_known == Some("iterator") | Some("hasInstance") | Some("toStringTag")

but the helper handles six shapes. The four omitted — toPrimitive,
asyncIterator, dispose, asyncDispose — stopped being exempted, fell
through to the generic computed-member path, and lost the lifting/renaming the
runtime resolves them by. At dispatch time the method is simply absent, so JS
falls back:

const E = class { [Symbol.toPrimitive](hint) { return hint === "number" ? 8 : "EXPR" } }
String(E)  // "WRONG"  <- static toString(), not the hook
+E         // NaN

Only toPrimitive had a test. asyncIterator, dispose and asyncDispose
were silently broken too, which is why this fixes the drift rather than the
one symbol.

Verification

Bisected with clean builds at every point. This matters: an incremental
target dir carried stale artifacts across git checkouts and produced false
verdicts — an earlier bisect on that substrate confidently named the wrong
commit. Every row below is from cargo clean first.

commit issue_9101_class_ref_coercion
9c8cdfc2e9 passed
015ec5fe1c (#9300#9226's direct parent) passed
8b2cfe6e7b (#9226) FAILED
8b2cfe6e7b + this fix passed

Isolation is exact — the tested-good commit is #9226's parent.

Checked in all three directions, because a fix that restores dispatch by
discarding #9226's own-key enumeration would just move the bug:

check result
issue_9101_class_ref_coercion (was failing) 1 passed
issue_5128_user_symbol_iterator (must stay green) 3 passed
test_gap_9226_class_prototype_own_keys.ts vs Node matches byte-for-byte

Relationship to #9372

#9372 fixes a second, independent regression from the same commit (the
@@iterator wrapper losing its instance vtable entry). Both are needed; neither
reverts #9226.

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The HIR lowering path now centralizes special well-known symbol detection. Generic computed-member lowering uses the shared predicate, which covers all supported symbols and preserves the documented runtime behavior.

Centralize well-known symbol detection
crates/perry-hir/src/lower_decl/helpers.rs, crates/perry-hir/src/lower_decl/class_decl.rs, changelog.d/9375-wellknown-predicate.md
Adds is_special_lowered_well_known for all supported symbol conditions. generic_computed_member_key uses the helper instead of an inline subset. The changelog records the regression, fix, and verification results.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3e976

The change safely centralizes well-known-symbol lowering behavior, with no material product or runtime risk identified. A changelog formatting warning remains, but it is not merge-blocking.

Keep the eligibility check in one place.

lower_well_known_computed_method still repeats the wk/is_static/MethodKind checks at Lines [704], [716], [761], [777], and [789]. generic_computed_member_key now uses the new predicate, but the lowerer does not. A future symbol or method-shape change can recreate the drift that this PR fixes. Make the lowerer consume the shared classification, or move eligibility and outcome mapping into one classifier.
