This series reworks what the style engine retains and who owns it. The algorithms (journal, transpose routing, prefix automaton, retained answers, winner groups, computed records) are unchanged; the rows underneath them are.

  • Identities: one match answer identity space, prefix states interned by content, selector entries and feature keys named once.
  • Staging: before/after pairs for tree relations, element facts and program fields, applied at one commit point; an env-gated verifier checks retained answers against raw selector truth.
  • Fact store: primary facts indexed by element with append-only arenas, catalogs keyed by atom, feature postings owned, counted and capped in the store.
  • Memory: Tier-3 admission decided per flush period, eviction only at boundaries, no per-container refusal.
  • Sharing: atoms and immutable selector programs shared across documents; unused atoms and unreachable computed records reclaimed deterministically (recorded, so replay recycles the same identities).
  • Columns: transpose routes and their liveness, pseudo winner rows, computed pseudo rows and dense-keyed maps stored as compact per-entry columns; winner semantics separated from provenance; nodes indexed by winning rule.
  • Boundary: batched intrinsic arrivals, attribute text published on selector demand, no redundant publications, retained tree depth, unchanged attribute origin routes skipped, no per-answer copies or sorts on the patch path.

Benchmarks are neutral/better, but this is mainly about data normalization.

Four Rust style tests fail on origin/master because their fixtures omit
facts or expectations required by the behavior they exercise.

Give guard rules their actual specificity, enable answer completion
where required, publish tag facts for deactivation, and expect routes to
consolidate before late exact-entry grouping.
Style captures recorded a fresh longhand value pointer for every
publication, even when the engine had canonicalized to an older,
value-equal table. Replay then compared opaque pointer tokens as live
values and crashed on the first such publication.

Record each canonical longhand table once per document engine and
reference it afterwards. Drop the source-slot sidecar, which replay no
longer needs.
The catalog interned exact match answers and their cascade-compacted
form in one table, but named the same integer with two newtypes,
MatchAnswerID and CascadeInputID, and converted between them at fourteen
call sites. Nothing distinguished the two identities except which
reference count was held.

Keep MatchAnswerID as the only answer identity. Whether an answer is
exact or compacted is a property of its payload, not a second identity
type, so the conversions and their bookkeeping go away.
Prefix automaton states were interned by construction: the base state
plus its delta. Two states with identical content reached through
different bases got different identities, so the transition memo
fragmented by construction path and every downstream identity compare
was only a fast positive that needed a content walk to confirm.

Intern states by their content digest instead, comparing content on a
hash hit under a private comparison epoch. Equal contents share one
identity however they were built, memo hits rise, and identity equality
means content equality. Reuse the epoch marks directly when checking a
hash collision, without allocating temporary comparison vectors while
the state-construction scratch is borrowed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change restructures the Rust and C++ style engine around staged transactions, shared selector and atom identities, direct routing indexes, selector-truth verification, and quota-period memory admission. It adds scoped element-arrival and attribute publication paths. Style records now use explicit pinning and cache cleanup. Replay records atom reclamation, selector sharing, and computed-table identities. Tests cover routing refreshes, selector truth, atom reuse, memory reclamation, and layout style-record consumption.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2dffe

This PR substantially changes the style engine’s retained data and update paths, but unresolved issues can disable retained-state validation, regress lookup performance, make release-profile tests unreliable, and misstate the enforced memory budget. The PR should not merge until these bounded correctness, performance, test, and memory-accounting risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Reconcile the mandatory-byte budget with the published record identity width.

§9.8 defines the final style-record identity carried by an element as 64-bit. This section counts StyleRecordID as one 32-bit word within the eight-word and 28+4-byte limits. It also calls StyleNodeID a NonZeroU32, while §5.1 defines it as u32. State which handles occupy the mandatory surface and update the byte formula, or move the 64-bit identity to the separate publication columns.

971-985: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The retained_truth_available predicate contradicts itself for ArrivingFacts.

The first matches! lists InputKey::LocalFeature(_, LocalFeatureKey::ArrivingFacts) as an accepted kind. That arm is already covered by the following InputKey::LocalFeature(..) arm, so it adds nothing. The trailing && !matches!(input.key, InputKey::LocalFeature(_, LocalFeatureKey::ArrivingFacts)) then rejects exactly that kind.

The net behavior is that any arriving-facts input sets retained_truth_available to false. The explicit accept arm suggests the opposite intent. Since arriving facts are folded onto one key per arriving element, this disables retained truth for every transaction that connects an element.

Decide which behavior is correct and write only that. If arrivals must disable retained truth, drop the redundant accept arm and keep the negation. If arrivals are acceptable, drop the negation.

mark_sweep_dependencies marks qualified components in one pass only.

The loop marks the namespace and name of a qualified atom live only when the qualified atom is already in live. If a qualified atom is ever used as the namespace or name of another qualified atom, one pass does not reach the inner components, and iteration order over the HashMap makes the outcome nondeterministic.

No current caller nests qualified atoms: intern_attribute_name always passes raw atoms or any_namespace. Consider a fixed-point loop, or a debug assertion that a component is never itself a qualified atom, so a future nested use cannot silently reclaim a live component.

Consider asserting the recorded results of the two new query events.

These arms decode the payload and discard it. Other non-replayable query events, such as MatchDocument and MatchElement, compare the recorded result against the replayed result. Calling style_engine_attribute_value_text_requirements_version and style_engine_attribute_name_requires_value_text and comparing would extend divergence detection to attribute-value-text demand.

If the recorded results are intentionally not comparable across a replay session, add a short comment that states why, as the neighbouring StyleRecordPayloads arm does.

Consider sharing the branch-copy count between the two dispatch walks.

scope_dispatch_shape_and_rules computes the number of branch copies from metadata.key and metadata.subject_dispatch_keys(). insert_scope_rule at Line 329 computes the same set again with the same rules.

Name the recording response namespace instead of the literal 2.

engine.recording_first_response(2, u64::from(identity)) uses a bare 2 to select the longhand-table response namespace.

Avoid cloning the committed declarations on every staging call.

stage_rule_declared_properties builds self.program.declared_properties_of(rule).to_vec() for the before side on every call, even when the rule already has a staged row. reuse_replaced_style_rule stages an empty inventory and the parser then stages the real one, so a full sheet rebuild clones the committed vector twice per reused rule.

If stage keeps the first recorded before value, compute the before side only when the row is new.

This needs a lazy stage_with on the staging map. Apply it only if the staging type can take a closure for the before value.

Avoid the per-parent linear scan over the staged rows.

The or_else fallback scans every staged row for each parent that has no staged first child. The loop therefore costs O(parents × staged_rows). Exact tree routing bounds the mutation count today, so the effect is limited, but the cost grows quadratically with staged rows.

Precompute a map from parent to the staged before-side first child once, before the parent loop, and look the parent up in that map.

RemainingPostingDirectory lookups are linear, and extend_remaining_posting scans twice per call.

entry() scans entries with position(). extend_remaining_posting calls entry(key) once for the presence test and again to take the mutable borrow. With one directory row per distinct subject dispatch key in a transaction, the total cost becomes quadratic in the number of routed postings. The previous column storage answered this in constant time.

Use a hash map keyed by PostingKey, or keep entries sorted and use binary_search_by_key. Also collapse the double lookup into one.

capacity_limit is marked #[inline(never)] on a hot path.

record calls make_room_for_one, which reaches capacity_limit through the slow path only. The attribute on capacity_limit itself gives no benefit and blocks inlining of a two-field read. Remove the attribute, or move it to the cold helper that needs it.

Also, document_capacity_limit.max(MIN_JOURNAL_CAPACITY_LIMIT as u32) duplicates the clamp already applied in set_document_capacity_limit. It matters only for the unset state, so a default value would express the intent more directly.

One selector entry was named as (program, entry) by the compiler, as a
dispatch row per scope, as a transpose route per input, and as (rule,
program, entry) triples in truth deltas; one class fact traveled through
six key vocabularies from input to posting. Every hop was a match arm or
a hash probe, and every flush rebuilt translation tables between them.

Give each attached selector entry one dense EntryID and each feature
one (kind, atom) key, and use them in dispatch, routing, prefix
matching, truth deltas and postings alike. Rows sharing an entry are
expanded through the dispatch and filtered by prefix admission, while
selector truth stays per entry so shared entries keep their deltas.
Allocate recycled entry ids in ascending entry-index order so retained
and delta answers share one canonical sort order.
Tree changes were staged in two hash maps and committed before routing,
so the pre-transaction child order had to be reconstructed by a
topological sort per touched parent, which silently disabled exact tree
routing on ambiguity. Departures were collected separately and missed
nodes that arrived and departed within one transaction.

Stage every touched relation row as a frozen before value and a
last-writer after value, indexed by element identity, and read old
sibling rows from the pairs directly. Same-transaction arrivals that
leave again remain visible to the later fact barrier, and the
reconstruction and its ambiguity bail are gone.
Staged element facts lived in a hash map of full heap rows, with a
separate before-side snapshot, an opposite-side batch materialized by
copying rows, and a commit-then-uncommit dance for selector queries in
the middle of a transaction. Every fact reader forked between the
committed and the primary store depending on when the flush committed.

Keep one paged staging column of before/after row pairs per touched
element, drained through a dirty list, with a single commit point before
planning and sparse before rows for the transaction. Readers resolve a
row by side; the opposite-side batches, the rollback path and the two
commit orders are removed, and barrier work is proportional to the
dirty rows. Distinguish dirty element rows from any staged input, move
retained-answer patch coverage across the new barrier, and treat only a
before-side non-resident view as composite so after-side transition
memos continue to use resident row identities.
Rule versions, sheet membership, layer ranks and activation flags were
staged in fifteen pending maps, applied by seven passes at commit, with
a fast path for rules created since the last barrier that bypassed all
of them. Routing then re-derived which sheets, programs and rules were
in flux from the journal.

Stage program fields as dense before/after rows owned by one staging
object, commit them together, and derive the program routing deltas and
departures from the pairs. The pending maps, the committed-rule fast
path and the journal scans go away. Preserve the any-input predicate as
the unified staging object absorbs pending element rows.
A retained match answer is the joined, activation-filtered relation, and
nothing checked that it still agreed with the raw selector truth the
matcher proved for the node.

Under LIBWEB_VERIFY_STYLE_ANSWER_PATCH, record every proven (entry,
scope, proximity) row at the matcher boundary, rejoin it through the
same immutable dispatch, and assert it reproduces the retained rows. A
second gate checks the derived-answer key. Production builds pay one
Option check per emitted match and allocate nothing. Make that second
gate independently selectable and part of the recorded gate bits, and
cover both exact truth and a deliberately dropped truth row.
Each attribute fact carried 28 bytes: the name plus three derived name
forms that are functions of the name, and offsets into per-row copies of
value text and language tags that catalogs already held once. The
catalogs themselves were hash maps keyed by an already dense atom.

Store name forms, value texts, language texts and custom-property name
sets in atom-indexed columns and resolve them from the atom, so an
attribute fact is the name, the value and an optional text handle. Rows
no longer copy text, and one shared catalog serves the primary store and
every batch.
The primary fact store reused the batch row format: an element-to-row
directory, append-and-repoint on every change, a full heap snapshot of
the row on first touch, stale rows compacted by rebuilding the whole
store, and a complete clone for every broad plan.

Index the fixed-width facts directly by element like the tree columns,
keep classes and attributes in append-only arenas addressed by
per-element handles, and keep rare facts in sparse pages. Staged
snapshots shrink to the fixed facts plus handles, broad plans borrow an
immutable view of the primary, and live cardinality is maintained
incrementally instead of counted.
Part and custom-state postings were maintained outside the fact store
and survived element retirement; auxiliary catalogs were swept by
walking every row on every departure; a missing posting was rebuilt by
a full-row walk on every commit; and postings grew without bound for
keys that select most of the document.

Maintain every posting family beside the fact setters, count live
catalog references so sweeps are indexed, and charge both posting
payloads and their hash-table storage. Retry a failed rebuild only when
its own growth closed admission and Tier-3 headroom has returned, then
cap selector postings above the greater of 4096 members and a quarter
of the live elements. A capped key reads as missing acceleration, so
consumers take their exact fallback. Document the cap beside the posting
representation and its exact fallback contract. Check retained memory
against every charged posting allocation after refused growth.
Tier-3 admission was decided per container in the middle of a
traversal: a refused reservation dropped a posting, switched the rest of
a batch to non-retainable answers, or cleared a witness table, and the
refused requester asked for other categories to be evicted. The budget
boundary moved with Vec doubling, so retained-state changes could not
be evaluated against it.

Decide admission once per flush period from the pool state: a category
whose own growth crosses the limit closes for the period, every Tier-3
owner gates new entries on that decision, and eviction waits for the
boundary. At the boundary, select complete cold working sets by benefit
only when they can cover the overage. Account committed external cache
growth, retain program-owned values correctly, scale the journal cap
with the document, and treat an empty staged tree overlay as complete.
Keeping growth usable changes the structural-child stress expectation
from six to seven warm pseudo-element recomputations.
Each Tier-3 owner had its own mid-flush eviction: prefix retention
retried by displacing retained answers and winner groups, winner groups
evicted on a refused settle, and witnesses, postings, incidences and
answers each carried a retry or rollback path.

Remove those retry and rollback paths and rely on the whole-category
victim selection established with period admission. State built in the
current period stays usable until the boundary, capacity is reconciled
at cache boundaries, and Tier-4 scratch is never refused. Prepared
retained-answer replacement is no longer refused, so coverage changes
from Missing to Known without recording a refusal or eviction.
With admission and eviction decided at period boundaries, the
remaining per-container reservation protocol (settle_committed,
ReservationOutcome and the production reserve) had no production
reader left.

Delete it and keep exact accounting at container growth. Remove the
reservation-only controller tests and describe the shared-pool,
all-or-nothing boundary model and scaled journal limit in the design
document.
StyleEngine::intern_atom held a leaked FlyString reference per atom but
did not remember the atom, so every class, tag, attribute or state
publication crossed the FFI to re-intern a name the engine already knew.
A StyleBench capture made 667k such calls.

Memoize the raw FlyString identity to its atom on the C++ side and
report the remaining atom boundary calls in replay. The calls drop by
98%.
Atoms were minted per document, so the same class name was a different
integer in every frame and compiled selector programs could not be
shared between documents, although the FlyString identity they came
from is already process-wide.

Intern raw and namespace-qualified names in one process-global table
with per-document reference counts, keep the C++ FlyString reference
alive for exactly the lifetime of the global entry, keep synthetic text
keys outside the FlyString retain/release path, and record the resulting
process-global tokens with per-engine mappings in captures.
Every document compiled its own copy of every selector program, and
program state was more than half of the engine's memory on real pages
with many frames. With process-global atoms, an immutable compiled
program is the same bytes in every document that attaches the sheet.

Intern compiled selector payloads process-wide behind weak references,
keep program ids, entry ids, rule attachments, routes and results per
document, and keep each payload's memory charge alive until its last
document reference drops. Bind that charge to the first document and
document why later documents report zero program bytes for the payload.
A transpose route was a 116-byte record copied by value for every route
a mutation reached, its subject-side fields duplicated into every route
of the same entry, and routes were canonicalized by a descriptor hash
that included the rule and so merged nothing.

Store per-entry subject facts once, split routes into a 16-byte hot
header plus range columns for paths and keys, canonicalize exactly per
rule, and flatten the input directories into one sorted route array.
Keep a reopened directory mutable while the program changes on
consecutive boundaries, then flatten it when the program settles. Keep
the selector examples that justify each narrowing accessor beside it.
Dead routes stayed registered and four consumers re-filtered liveness on
every flush; the sibling entries, relational route descriptors and the
structural entry index were rebuilt per flush although they only change
with the program.

Keep a bit-packed liveness column advanced when selector identity or
decidability changes, including a sheet flipping between attached and
unattached, and cache the derived indexes under the same generation.
Pseudo-element winner rows lived in a document-wide map keyed by
(node, pseudo) plus a mirrored per-node target list. Every access hashed
the composite key and both structures maintained the same inventory.

Keep one sparse per-element column of pseudo winner rows; removal and
enumeration cost the pseudos of that node.
A retained property winner was 104 bytes and hashed its 64-byte cascade
priority and rule provenance into the winner group identity, so two
elements with equal specified values from different rules never shared
a group and a theme swap minted new groups for every element. The route
pruning proof also walked every transpose site of the winner's program
before comparing priorities.

Intern winner groups on (property, specified key) only and keep
importance, source and an interned exact priority in a parallel
provenance row per cascade state. Priority compares stay exact and
O(1), including for cross-scope winners, and the pruning proof compares
before it walks.
Deleting a winning rule is the non-invertible cascade case, and the
engine only knew whether a rule won somewhere, so a removal routed
through old-selector evaluation to find its nodes.

Keep a bounded posting of winning nodes per rule beside the reference
count and route narrow removals through it. Matches that lost to the
rule are refreshed in one pass per transaction, so no retained answer
keeps a deactivated rule row. State why the retained row count proves
coverage after arrivals and departures cross the commit barrier.
Computed publication kept five hash maps keyed by (node, pseudo) that
were scanned whole on removal and on every pseudo cascade check, plus
nine parallel Option columns per element.

Keep one sparse per-node pseudo row table with bit-packed presence, and
pack the element publication state into u32 struct-of-arrays columns
with shared flags. Keep the style-record identity in its own Option
column because that representation already packs into four bytes.

Rename is_empty to state that it reports dirty rows only.

StagedField::is_empty returns self.dirty_count == 0. It does not report whether the field holds staged rows. After take_dirty() runs, is_empty() returns true while touched still holds rows and pairs() still yields before/after pairs that delta() reads. ProgramStaging::is_dirty is built from eleven negated is_empty() calls, so the misleading name is repeated at every call site.

A name such as has_dirty_rows makes the dirty-versus-touched distinction explicit and prevents a future reader from treating is_empty() as "nothing staged".

These three tests fail when debug assertions are off.

malformed_element_arrival_rejects_an_invalid_node, malformed_element_arrival_rejects_an_overflowing_custom_state_range, and malformed_element_arrival_rejects_an_out_of_bounds_custom_state_range expect panics that debug_assert! raises. debug_assert! compiles to nothing when debug_assertions is off. A release-profile test run (cargo test --release) therefore reaches the continue path, the test returns normally, and #[should_panic] reports a failure.

Gate the three tests on debug_assertions so the suite stays green in both profiles.

Use one name for the engine inside the verification closure.

The closure receives verifier and reads verifier.published_match_answers, verifier.programs, verifier.program, and verifier.facts. The same closure also reads self.winner_groups at Line 593 and Line 596 and self.specified_values through helper calls. Both names denote the same engine, because verify_cascade_winners takes a shared reference to it.

Two names for one value make the closure harder to read and suggest a capability boundary that does not exist on this path. Use verifier for every field access inside the closure.

Index the staged before-side first children once.

The loop over parents calls before_first_child, and on None it scans every entry of staged_rows through find_map. The number of parents grows with the number of staged rows, so this fallback is quadratic in the staged tree rows of one transaction. Exact tree routing already limits how often this runs, but a single large structural batch still pays the full product.

Build one map from parent to its staged before-side first child before the loop, then look each parent up.

Reuse the cached scope dispatch in the verification path.

Line 1313 calls build_ranked_scope_dispatch(tree_scope). That method builds a new RuleDispatch, assigns cascade order and cascade properties, settles memory, and inserts template entries. It runs once per retained answer stored while LIBWEB_VERIFY_SELECTOR_TRUTH_DERIVATION is set, so verification cost grows with elements times dispatch build cost.

retained_answer_dispatch_for_traversal at line 220 already uses ranked_scope_program, which returns the interned dispatch. Use the same accessor here.

♻️ Proposed change
-            let dispatch = self.build_ranked_scope_dispatch(tree_scope);
+            let (_, dispatch) = self.ranked_scope_program(tree_scope);

Bound the verification memo and account its bytes.

verified_derived_answers keeps one Rc<[RetainedRuleMatch]> per (SelectorTruthSetID, TreeScopeID, program_version) and is never cleared. Entries keyed by an old ProgramVersion stay reachable after that version retires, so a long verify-mode session grows this map without limit. SelectorTruthSetCatalog also reports no bytes to MemoryController, unlike the other retained catalogs in this file.

This path runs only under LIBWEB_VERIFY_SELECTOR_TRUTH_DERIVATION, so it does not affect ordinary builds. Clearing entries whose ProgramVersion no longer matches the current program keeps long verification runs stable.

The engine maintains a large counter ledger (169 counters in `instrumentation.rs`), exposed to C++ and through the internals object, alongside a separate C++-side ledger of style-update and invalidation counters. The main families:

* Input deltas by kind; journal cancellations, replacements, and coarsened scope markers.
* Executed selector primitives in five buckets: local-feature tests, state tests, combinator steps, structural tests, relational tests.
* Routing: routed entry points, impact relation steps, region cardinality.
* Candidate enumeration: posting entries enumerated, region-membership checks, exact checks, rejections.
* Matching and stopping: retained-answer patch stops, cascade compaction counts, cold-batch rows evaluated and missing.
* Tier-3 memory decisions: refusals per category, admission retries, benefit evictions.
* Bytes by tier and category, plus the pressure snapshot (limits, refusals, evictions) exposed over FFI and printed by the replay accounting report.
* Tier-3 memory decisions: admission closures per category and benefit-guided boundary evictions.

In `@Documentation/Style/StyleEngine.md` around lines 1221 - 1229, Update the
documented counter total in the engine counter-ledger description from 169 to
175, leaving the listed counter families and surrounding contract text
unchanged.

Computed sets, groups, tables, and style records were append-only for
the document lifetime. Style churn retained every superseded payload
and made stale numeric identities look valid forever.

Mark element and pseudo assignments, overlays, and explicit C++ pins.
Retire unreachable records with generation-tagged identities. Captures
stay monotone because their dictionaries name computed identities, so
recording suppresses reclamation. Keep generated layout records pinned
while their DOM pseudo can replace its record before reconstruction,
rebind payload-equal updates, and preserve a detached node's prior pin
when its pseudo is cleared. Document teardown ownership and count
transient computed-style view pins.
An arriving element published its namespace, language, directionality,
heading level, slot-ness and custom states through individual boundary
calls after its tree delta, on the order of twenty crossings for a plain
div with a class.

Carry those intrinsic facts in one arrival row family applied with the
tree deltas of the same batch, and report the boundary calls in replay.
Presentational hints were republished on every computation, animation
names on every changed record, language text once per arriving element,
and an empty inline declaration block for every element without one;
each republish interned its values before the engine deduplicated it.

Publish hints and animation names only when they changed since the last
publication that crossed, language text once per atom per document, and
skip empty initial inline blocks.
The value text of every distinct attribute, including the style
attribute, was pushed to the engine and pinned as a FlyString for the
document's life, although only substring and token operators read text.

Publish text only for attribute names some attached selector or query
applies such an operator to, in both written and folded forms, memoize
the published name forms, and record the demand probes so replay stays
deterministic. During demand expansion, test each name before
reinterning its value so unrelated attributes do not hash their text
again. Exercise demanded name forms remaining published after element
churn.
Subtree membership was an ancestor walk with no early rejection, and
preorder walks climbed the parent chain to find every subtree end.

Retain a depth column maintained by the same relation updates, recompute
only staged arrivals and nodes whose installed parent changes, and let a
changed ancestor cover changed descendants. Compare with the resident
parent before installation so sibling-only staging and repeated
mid-transaction applications cannot suppress required recomputation.
Reject subtree tests on depth before walking.
An attribute value change routed every selector mentioning the
attribute name, presence tests included, and enumerated and
exact-checked every subject in the region although the origin compound
was true on both sides.

Decide presence and interned-equality tests directly and evaluate broad
value operators on both fact sides before firing a route, so routes
whose origin truth did not flip are skipped. Cover the fire direction
for presence, exact-atom, and text-operator truth changes.
Interning a match answer allocated and sorted even on a hit, retained
answers were materialized through a per-traversal copy of the dispatch
rank table, and patch attribution keys were deduplicated by a linear
scan.

Intern small answers without allocation, read ranks from the retained
answer's dispatch, and index attribution keys.
Every flush rebuilt the sibling routing workspace and rescanned the
whole winner column to advance the program version, whatever the
transaction contained.

Retain the workspace by program generation and skip the winner scan when
the plan already covers the document.
Scope roots and detached-sheet routing exclusions were hash maps keyed
by dense identities.

Store them as columns. Define bit-column equality with zero padding so
different allocation lengths still represent the same logical set.
Every scope program cloned its 56-byte dispatch entries, kept three
copies of the cascade rank and four mirror bucket structures for
non-prefix candidates, probed a hash map per dispatch key of the element
twice, iterated all 43 state facts per probe, and charged none of it.

Share the selector-derived entry metadata across scopes with an 8-byte
per-scope binding, keep flat all-row and non-prefix row directories
addressed by atom range pages, derive the universal fallback, iterate
only set state bits, keep the subject bloom per fact row so candidates
are rejected before publication, and charge the dispatch to the program
category.
Dispatch keys, required keys, parent and ancestor keys and the unified
prefix chain were re-derived by IR walks on every scope dispatch build,
allocating on the way.

Compute them once in the immutable program at finish and reuse the
cached prefix analysis when deriving entry properties. The cache is
derived data and stays out of the program's semantic identity.
Preallocated style nodes lived in a process-global set keyed by raw
Element pointer, pending element style inputs were consumed by a linear
scan per reaction, and subtree recording walked to the root per node to
find the tree scope.

Keep the preallocated set on the document's engine object, index
pending inputs by node, carry the tree scope through the subtree walk,
and say which side owns each retained style handle.
With process-global atoms, an atom no document mentions any more was
retained for the process lifetime, together with its FlyString
reference and catalog entries, so attribute-value churn grew
without bound.

Count live roots per document and reclaim unrooted atoms after marking
pins, qualified-name components, and derived attribute-name forms to a
fixed point, purging every atom-keyed catalog before an identity is
freed. Sweep only inside take_style_transaction, on growth or after 256
pin releases, so each batch reaches C++ before an identity is reused;
a direct flush release cannot deliver that batch and does not sweep,
and a sweep waits while a matching traversal owns the primary view.
Record every sweep so replay recycles the same identities, keep atom
live counts in paged u32 columns.
Bring the design document in line with the engine as it stands: the
fixed-width selector IR and transpose routes, flat route directories,
the element-indexed fact store and packed publication columns,
process-global atoms and shared programs, the six-array boundary
transaction, the period-based Tier-3 budget, and the current flush
stages. Keep container conditions distinct from the document-wide
condition state published for media and supports rules.
Equal style group payloads do not cover longhands whose groups only
require an initial value, nor data stored outside group payloads. The
shortcut could therefore suppress invalidation for a changed style.

Require canonical longhand-table identity and equal resolved font lists
before skipping the full diff. The style verifier covers the previously
mismatched computed-style and interpolation cases.
