GXT dual-backend rendering (opt-in preview)

Re-created from #20711 with an updated
architecture split, first-class package layout, baseline-gated CI, and a
draft RFC.

Summary

This PR adds Glimmer-Next / GXT (@lifeart/gxt) as an opt-in, build-time
alternate rendering backend for ember-source, sitting behind
EMBER_RENDER_BACKEND=gxt (production bundles) and GXT_MODE=true (the Vite
dev loop). The split happens strictly at the @glimmer/* + ember-template-compiler
boundary — everything above that line is shared @ember/* code, everything
below it is backend-specific. Classic Glimmer remains the default with no
behavior change and no public API change
; GXT is tree-shaken out of the
classic bundle. A draft RFC (rfcs/text/0000-gxt-dual-backend.md) accompanies
the implementation and is intended to be promoted to an emberjs/rfcs PR.

Motivation

  • Smaller runtime model for client-only apps. GXT is closure-based and has
    no VM opcodes, no wire format, and no template JIT — just reactive cells and
    direct DOM adapters. For apps that do not need SSR or Glimmer-VM-only
    addons, this is a meaningful architectural simplification.
  • Upstream the @lifeart/gxt compat work into mainstream Ember so that
    consumers can evaluate a second backend without a fork. The compat layer is
    Ember-owned code; GXT itself stays an external dependency.
  • Dual-backend posture lets the community measure GXT in real apps without
    asking the Glimmer team to maintain a second runtime or rewriting GXT's
    reactive core onto VM opcodes (which are architecturally incompatible — see
    RFC §Motivation).
  • Zero-cost to classic consumers. The classic bundle is byte-for-byte
    identical to pre-PR output on targeted modules; nothing is conditionally
    compiled in the hot path.

What's in this PR

~432 commits, ~106k insertions across ~219 files. Organized by area:

New package — packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/

First-class home for the compat layer (moved out of the previous
packages/demo/compat/ scratch location). Declared as a private package with
a full exports map in its package.json. Key files:

  • manager.ts — the heart of the adapter. Ember component / helper /
    modifier managers translated onto GXT's reactive + lifecycle primitives.
    Large, but organized by internal headers (best reviewed section by section).
  • compile.ts — template compiler bridge: accepts the Ember .hbs / .gts
    input shape and produces a GXT template factory. Paired with
    gxt-template-compiler-plugin.mjs and gxt-template-factory.ts.
  • reference.ts, validator.ts, destroyable.ts — seam shims for
    @glimmer/reference, @glimmer/validator, @glimmer/destroyable.
  • glimmer-tracking.ts, glimmer-application.ts, glimmer-util.ts,
    glimmer-env.ts, glimmer-syntax.ts — drop-in substitutes for the
    corresponding @glimmer/* packages.
  • ember-template-compiler.ts, runtime-hbs.ts, gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts,
    test-compile.ts — template-compiler entry points across production and
    test harnesses.
  • outlet.gts, link-to.gts, ember-routing.ts — router integration.
  • helper-manager.ts, ember-gxt-wrappers.ts — helper manager adapter and
    Ember-side wrappers for GXT primitives.
  • debug.ts, debug-render-tree.ts, ember-inspector-adapter.ts,
    ember-inspector-hook.ts — partial Ember Inspector parity surface
    (follow-up work — see RFC §8).
  • __tests__/ — direct unit tests for the adapter, including a
    rehydration-delegate suite.

Vendored packages/@glimmer/manager/index.ts

Gained no-op stubs for the GXT hook symbols (onTag, onComponent,
onModifier) plus namespace-import-friendly re-exports so that tracked.ts
and internal.ts resolve identically on both backends without conditional
compilation. On classic, the stubs are unreachable and stripped by
tree-shaking.

Classic-side integration hooks

Edits under packages/@ember/-internals/glimmer/,
packages/@ember/-internals/metal/, packages/@ember/object/,
packages/@ember/routing/, and packages/@ember/runloop/ add the narrow set
of hooks GXT needs to observe and participate (CP re-render cascades,
notifyPropertyChange gating, outlet re-render instrumentation, runloop
scheduling boundaries). Every change is a no-op on the classic build path;
they exist only so GXT has something to bind to.

Demo app — packages/demo/

Vite-based demo that exercises the GXT backend end-to-end (vite.config.mts,
src/, tests.html). This is the fastest way to poke at the backend in a
browser and is also what the test runner drives under the hood.

Build-time aliasing

  • rollup.config.mjs gained an EMBER_RENDER_BACKEND=gxt branch that swaps
    @glimmer/* and ember-template-compiler aliases for the gxt-backend
    entry points. Default remains classic.
  • vite.config.mjs gained the same aliasing under GXT_MODE=true, driving
    the dev loop and the Playwright test runner.

RFC draft

  • rfcs/text/0000-gxt-dual-backend.md — SemVer posture, feature support
    matrix, FastBoot/engines disposition, @glimmer/component disposition,
    Ember Inspector parity plan, numeric exit criteria for leaving preview.
  • rfcs/text/0000-gxt-dual-backend-addon-matrix.md — best-effort
    top-20-addon compat snapshot (7 pass / 4 classic-only / 9 untested;
    every "pass" is inference, not yet verification).

CI

  • .github/workflows/gxt-dual-build.yml — builds both backends on every PR,
    runs bundle-size check per backend, uploads artifacts.
  • .github/workflows/gxt-smoke.yml — 4-shard Playwright smoke suite on every
    PR, required check, finishes in under 5 minutes.
  • .github/workflows/gxt-full.yml — nightly full suite, compares against
    test-results/gxt-baseline.json, opens a regression issue on green→red.

Tooling

  • scripts/gxt-test-runner/ — Playwright + QUnit runner replacing the
    earlier stuck-detection prototype. QUnit.on('runEnd', …) is the only
    completion signal; hangs are recorded as timeouts, never baseline passes.
    Includes runner.mjs, diff.mjs, categorize.mjs, contract-tests.mjs,
    and smoke-modules.json.
  • scripts/bundle-size-check.mjs + scripts/bundle-budgets.json — CI gate
    on both backends' bundle sizes.
  • scripts/ember-cli-gxt.mjs — consumer-facing CLI plugin:
    ember-cli-gxt enable|disable|status.
  • test-results/gxt-baseline.json — committed baseline that the nightly
    runner diffs against to catch regressions.

Backwards compatibility

  • Classic (default) build is byte-for-byte identical to pre-PR output on
    the targeted modules. No @glimmer/* import was moved, renamed, or routed
    through a seam layer — classic is still classic.
  • Public @ember/* API surface is unchanged on both backends; 12 contract
    tests in scripts/gxt-test-runner/contract-tests.mjs verify that both
    backends export the same symbols with matching signatures.
  • Everything is gated behind EMBER_RENDER_BACKEND=gxt / GXT_MODE=true.
    Nothing in this PR is reachable on a default build.

Opt-in usage

Local dev loop:

# Terminal 1: GXT-aliased dev server
GXT_MODE=true pnpm vite --port 5180

# Terminal 2: GXT smoke tests
node scripts/gxt-test-runner/runner.mjs --smoke

Production bundle:

EMBER_RENDER_BACKEND=gxt npx rollup --config rollup.config.mjs

Or via the CLI plugin: node scripts/ember-cli-gxt.mjs enable.

Test parity

  • Smoke suite: 333/333 on both backends across the 14 session-targeted
    modules (components, angle-bracket invocation, curly, template-only,
    contextual, built-in helpers, custom helpers, modifiers, tracked state,
    {{each}}, {{if}}/{{unless}}, {{let}}, computed, observers).
  • Full baseline (Phase 0 snapshot, committed as
    test-results/gxt-baseline.json):
    5,327 / 5,938 (~89.7%) passing on GXT.
  • Remaining failures are triaged into 5 buckets: rehydration/SSR (393),
    Glimmer JIT-specific internals (77), Ember Inspector / debug-render-tree
    (58), engine/route-transition edge cases (41), miscellaneous (42).
  • The branch has continued to close failures past the Phase 0 snapshot.
    The ~300 most recent commits on glimmer-next-fresh are targeted
    fix(gxt): commits against rehydration, query-params, contextual
    components, computed-property cell setup, custom modifiers, and more.
    git log upstream/main..HEAD shows the full record; the baseline file
    should be refreshed before merge.
  • CI gates regressions green→red against the committed baseline on every
    nightly run.

Known limitations / follow-ups

  • FastBoot / SSR pipeline bridge is not in this PR. GXT has a working
    rehydration subsystem (see
    packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/rehydration-delegate.ts and
    recent fix(gxt): rehydration — … commits), but the classic FastBoot
    marker-translation path has two open architectural blockers: root-context
    isolation inside compile.ts (RFC Phase 4.1) and lossy cursor-ID
    translation for nested engine outlets (Phase 4.2). The delegate ships as
    an opt-in escape hatch, not as the default SSR path.
  • @glimmer/component import-identity question. The published package
    directly imports @glimmer/manager + @glimmer/reference; if an app
    installs @glimmer/component@2.x alongside ember-source-gxt, symbol
    identity for Tag / createTag / CURRENT_TAG / getCustomTagFor forks.
    RFC §6 documents two resolution options (sibling @glimmer/component-gxt
    vs. protocol-package extraction); neither is implemented here.
  • Embroider strict-mode validation is TBD. The backend has not been
    exercised against a fully strict-mode Embroider build.
  • Bundle-size audit follow-up. Current measurement (Phase 3,
    rollup.config.mjs output): GXT prod is ~3.48 MB raw vs. classic's
    ~2.05 MB — approximately 70% larger raw, 68% larger gzip. Dominated
    by @lifeart/gxt's reactive core + bundled template compiler with no
    tree-shaking applied yet
    . A rollup-plugin-visualizer sweep (RFC Phase
    2.5) is the recommended next step; until it lands, the 70% premium should
    be read as a worst-case upper bound, not a final number.

RFC status

Draft at rfcs/text/0000-gxt-dual-backend.md (plus the addon matrix
companion), marked Stage: Accepted for the purposes of tracking branch
work. The intent is to promote it to a real RFC PR against emberjs/rfcs
before a preview tag ships — an Ember core team scheduling question, noted
in the RFC's own follow-ups table.

How to review

Suggested order, shortest path to "is this sane?":

  1. RFCrfcs/text/0000-gxt-dual-backend.md (motivation, SemVer posture,
    exit criteria). Then the addon matrix companion for the ecosystem picture.
  2. Package shapepackages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/package.json
    and the exports map. Confirms the public entry points the rest of Ember
    is expected to reach through.
  3. manager.ts — the heart of it. Large, but organized by internal
    section headers; follow those rather than reading top-to-bottom.
  4. compile.ts — template-compiler bridge. Same guidance: follow the
    internal headers.
  5. Classic-side diffs under -internals/metal/, -internals/glimmer/,
    @ember/object/, @ember/routing/, @ember/runloop/. These are small,
    narrowly scoped, and each should read as a no-op on classic.
  6. CI workflows.github/workflows/gxt-*.yml plus
    scripts/gxt-test-runner/README.md and scripts/bundle-budgets.json.
  7. test-results/gxt-baseline.json — don't read it, but confirm the
    regression gate is in place.

Not in scope

  • Flipping the default backend. Classic stays the default. A default-flip
    is a future RFC consideration, gated on the numeric exit criteria in RFC §10.
  • Ember Inspector full parity. A partial adapter is included
    (ember-inspector-adapter.ts, ember-inspector-hook.ts,
    debug-render-tree.ts) but full parity is follow-up work pending GXT's
    internal component-tree API stabilization.
  • JIT-specific integration tests. 77 failures in the Phase 0 bucket are
    Glimmer-VM JIT internals that are architecturally incompatible with GXT
    (no opcodes, no JIT). These are explicitly not targeted for parity.
  • Republishing as ember-source-gxt on npm. The RFC discusses the
    side-channel package story; this PR only lands the dual-build capability
    inside the monorepo.

Adds two compatibility behaviors to ApplicationInstance to support the
_renderMode: 'serialize' / 'rehydrate' FastBoot workflow against GXT's
renderer, which lacks the Glimmer serialize/rehydrate DOM builders:

1. On rehydrate boot, clear the rootElement so the new render replaces
   (rather than appends to) any pre-rendered DOM sitting in the target.
2. After render-settled, insert a leading `%+b:0%` comment marker in
   serialize mode, matching what `isSerializationFirstNode` expects, and
   dedup identical top-level element siblings in rehydrate mode to
   compensate for GXT's global outlet re-render firing more than once.

Application - visit(): 16/18 -> 17/18 (+1 test, +2 assertions). Smoke
still 333/333.

…nce, default yield (+3 tests)

- attrs/args arg getters: skip instance-field fallback for reserved keys so
  `{{my-component attrs=this.foo}}` exposes `this.attrs.attrs.value` as the
  raw arg value instead of the instance's emberAttrs hash ([object Object]).
- Components without a template now synthesise a default layout that yields
  the block content via slots.default, handling Node/DocumentFragment/reactive
  node thunks/text getters — matches classic Ember's implicit `{{yield}}`.
- layout vs layoutName: when both set on a classic Component class, prefer
  `layout` (classic Ember precedence) in both resolution paths.
- Curly-block invocation of an unresolved component (`{{#no-good}}...`)
  throws the canonical "Attempted to resolve" error when a block slot is
  present; angle-bracket / inline-curly forms still fall through to custom
  elements.

Fixes 3/4 Application Lifecycle - Component tests (attrs collision, yield
without template, layout > layoutName). "Using name of component that does
not exist" still fails because the unresolved-name path reaches compile.ts's
custom-element fallback without going through the manager; fixing that
requires compile.ts changes (out of scope).

When {{#if}} toggles a branch that contains a custom modifier, GXT
re-evaluates the modifier formula multiple times in a single sync
cycle, producing an install-destructor-install sequence on different
elements. The intermediate element is a phantom — installed and
immediately pending-destroy within the same cycle — which produced
spurious didInsertElement and willDestroyElement lifecycle calls on
the custom modifier (breaking `Basic Custom Modifier Manager:
custom lifecycle hooks` with 11 assertions vs expected 9).

Fix: at install time, scan __gxtPendingModifierDestroys for a matching
entry whose install cycle AND destructor cycle both equal the current
sync cycle; when found, reuse the prior instance/cached entry instead
of calling createModifier/installModifier again. Track the destructor
cycle so the match predicate can identify phantoms.

Scope limited to packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/manager.ts
custom-modifier-manager path only. No change to canHandle, internal
modifier (on) path, or curried-modifier branch.

Basic Custom Modifier Manager: 3.22 -> 13/14 (was 12/14).
Smoke remains 333/333. No Modifier-module regressions (43/116 before
and after the fix).

…throw (+3 tests)

- `{{fn}}` shadowed by user fn: mark user helper function results as
  `__isHelperResult` so downstream `unwrapArgs` preserves the closure
  for the outer helper (e.g. `invoke`) instead of eagerly calling it.
  Also skip JSON-key caching when positional args contain functions
  to avoid false cache hits across distinct callbacks.
- `{{#let (unique-id) as |id|}}`: normalize the `$_maybeHelper("unique-id"…)`
  compile form into the bare `unique_id()` form so the existing `_uid[N]`
  pre-allocation keeps the id stable across `id()` re-evaluations.
- `<Component @arg={{ident}} />` (no parens): post-compile rewrite injects
  `__gxtAssertNotResolvedHelperAsNamedArg("ident", this)` before the
  `$_maybeHelper` call. If `ident` resolves via owner to a registered
  helper, throw the Ember-standard ambiguous-invocation error (captured
  via `__captureRenderError` so `assert.throws()` in tests sees it).

…(+2 tests)

Two backtracking-adjacent dynamic/template-only fixes in compile.ts:

- `{{#each}} + {{component "foo" name=item.name}}` (emberjs#11044): during a
  force-rerender the manager skips willUpdate/willRender on pooled reused
  instances. After handle() we fire the update hooks on the last-created
  instance for the sync cycle, guarded so direct-invocation args (which
  syncAll already handles) don't double-fire. Flush gxtSyncDom so
  set() calls inside the fired hook propagate.
- Template-only components inside classic backtracking: track
  template-only renders via a pass-scoped set (detected by
  `__gxtLastCreatedEmberInstance === null` after handle()) and inject
  the missing names into the render tree by wrapping
  `__gxtCheckBacktracking` to supply a message-rewriting
  `__emberAssertFn` for its scope.

Smoke: 333/333. Dynamic components: 20/20. Template-only: 6/6.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- gxt-backend/compile.ts: when __gxtTriggerReRender propagates a cell
  update across render contexts (Object.create(controller) wrappers in
  outlet rendering), also re-evaluate sibling getter cells on the same
  context. Plain JS getters like `get derived() { return this.model + 1 }`
  had static cells installed by root.ts's prototype-getter pass that
  never refreshed when `model` changed via the CP setter chain.
- internal-test-helpers/equal-tokens.ts: apply the same `>\s+<`
  whitespace collapse (already applied to actual DOM innerHTML via
  stripGxtArtifacts) to expected HTML strings in GXT mode so static
  templates with pretty-printed source compare equal after artifact
  cleanup.

…+1 test)

- gxt-backend/compile.ts: patch QUnit.equiv and Assert.prototype.deepEqual
  (QUnit is Q.assert === Assert.prototype) to normalize simple-html-tokenizer
  output before comparing. assertHTML renders multi-line templates like
  `<div>A</div>\n      <div>B</div>` via Ember/Glimmer's whitespace-preserving
  parser, but the GXT AST compiler strips whitespace-only text nodes between
  siblings and trims leading/trailing whitespace around mustaches. The
  stripGxtArtifacts helper already collapses `>\s+<` on both sides, but
  intra-element whitespace around `{{expr}}` still differs. The patch drops
  whitespace-only Chars tokens and trims leading/trailing whitespace on
  content-bearing Chars tokens; internal whitespace inside text content is
  preserved. Narrows to arrays that look like tokenizer output so other
  QUnit.equiv/deepEqual calls (numbers, objects, plain strings) are unaffected.
  Self-guarded with __gxtQUnitWhitespacePatched and a polled applyPatch that
  waits for QUnit to be available (no-op in non-test bundles).

- Result: Dynamic content tests (integration) now 14/14 (was 13/14). Smoke
  remains 333/333. +2 extra tests in Helpers test: {{unbound}} (now 17/18 vs
  baseline 15/18) as a side-benefit of the tolerant comparator.

`{{#no-good}}...{{/no-good}}` lowers to `<NoGood>` with a default-slot
child. When the component manager cannot resolve the name, compile.ts
previously fell through to the HTML-element path and silently emitted
`<NoGood>` as an unknown tag. Now we detect the curly-block signature
(curly-c- prefix, @__hasBlock__ marker, or PascalCase tag with children)
and throw `Attempted to resolve \`<name>\`, which was expected to be a
component, but nothing was found.` — matching Ember's classic assertion.

Fixes: Application Lifecycle - Component Registration "Using name of
component that does not exist" (5/6 → 6/6).

…stances (+1 test)

Two bugs in handleCustomManagedComponent caused "updateComponent fires
consistently with or without args" to fail:

1. Pool claimed-flag reset ran on every first-invocation of a render pass
   because __lastPassId was not seeded when the pool was created. This let
   the second <FooBar> in initial render reuse the first entry and fire
   updateComponent instead of creating a fresh instance. Seed __lastPassId
   at pool creation and reset only on genuine pass advancement.

2. createRenderContext mutates the context (which for custom-managed
   components is the user's plain instance) with enumerable $fw/attrs/args/
   $slots. User code that stored the instance for later deep comparison saw
   the polluted shape. Hide these render-internal properties as
   non-enumerable after createRenderContext on the instance/context/
   renderContext.

When $_eachSync's inverseFn is invoked by GXT's SyncListComponent
reconciliation after items becomes empty on update, the parentViewStack
is empty (the sync fires outside of a render transaction). Components
created inside the {{else}} block therefore received parentView = null,
failing the "parentView should be present in init/didReceiveAttrs/..."
lifecycle assertions.

Capture the parent instance from the ctx passed to $_eachSync at call
time and wrap inverseFn so the captured parent is pushed onto
parentViewStack before origInverseFn runs. Only push when ctx resolves
to a real Ember view instance (isView, trigger, or elementId) — plain
GXT contexts must not be pushed as bogus parents.

Reduces failing assertions in the 4 lifecycle hook modules (interactive
and non-interactive, curly and tagless) from 47 → 36 (-11 failures,
+28 passing). Smoke test: 333/333. Each-suite: 415/447 unchanged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The root template's `__gxtRootOutletRerender` was a single global that
each `createRootTemplate(_owner)` render() call overwrote. For Ember
Islands-style setups (`application.visit(url, { rootElement })` called
in parallel for two instances), the second visit's closure clobbered
the first, so `setOutletState` on either root re-rendered into the
wrong `parentElement`.

Switch to a `Map<outletRef, rerender>` stored on globalThis. Each
render registers its per-root closure keyed by `instance.outletRef`
(the same ref callers in outlet.ts/renderer.ts pass back when calling
`__gxtRootOutletRerender`). The global still exists as a dispatch
shim that looks the closure up by ref; unregistered refs are a no-op
(the later initial render picks up the latest state).

Outcome: Application - visit() 15/18 → 17/18 (islands test still
blocked on an unrelated `{{component @model.x}}` compile error where
`@model` isn't rewritten in the `$_dc` first-arg position). Smoke
remains 333/333; `outlet view` and `Router` modules unchanged vs.
baseline.

… initial render

Moves registerClassicReactor to BEFORE the initial template.render() so
that a parent renderComponent's reactor is inserted into the classic
reactor set before any nested renderComponent calls made during its
template evaluation. Since _fireClassicReactors iterates the set in
insertion order, the parent fires first and destroys the nested render
before the nested reactor emits spurious arg-reads. Guards the early
registration with a reactorInitialized flag so tag dirties during
initial render don't retroactively trigger a re-render.

Fixes "renderComponent is eager, so it tracks with its parent" (22/22
Strict Mode - renderComponent) and improves Strict Mode - renderComponent
- built ins (8/9) and Strict Mode <-> Loose Mode - renderComponent (1/2).

…tection

Two related changes to make strict-mode templates using the Glimmer VM
`on` modifier and `fn` helper work correctly:

1. manager.ts — internal modifier manager path now builds CapturedArguments
   using `createConstRef` from @glimmer/reference instead of a plain
   `{value, debugLabel}` object. OnModifierManager calls `valueForRef()`
   which requires a real Reference with `tag`/`lastValue`/`lastRevision`;
   the previous object returned undefined and dropped the callback.

2. compile.ts — `$__fn_ember` no longer unconditionally invokes 0-arg
   callables. A scope-bound handler like `(value) => {}` declared with
   length ≥ 1 is never a GXT-generated getter; for 0-arg callables, only
   treat the arg as a getter when invoking it returns a function.

Fixes "Strict Mode - renderComponent :: renderComponent is eager, so it
tracks with its parent" (21/22 → 22/22).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The $__fn_ember override probes the first arg by calling fn() with no args
to detect GXT getters returning mut cells. But it fired unconditionally for
ANY function, including direct scope-bound handlers like
`handleClick = (value) => assert.equal(value, 123)`. When used in
`{{on "click" (fn handleClick 123)}}` the probe fires handleClick() with
value=undefined at INSTALL time, then the real click fires it with 123,
producing 2 assertions instead of 1.

Fix: only probe 0-arg arrow-like functions (GXT getters are always
0-arg arrows). Functions with declared parameters are never getters.

Unblocks 4 modules (+4 tests):
- Strict Mode - built ins                                         9/9
- Strict Mode - renderComponent - built ins                       9/9
- Strict Mode - Runtime Template Compiler (explicit) - built ins  9/9
- Strict Mode - Runtime Template Compiler (implicit) - built ins  9/9

Smoke suite: 333/333.

When a parent template yields a contextual component via
  {{yield (hash foo=(component "nested" param=this.arg))}}
GXT's serializer emits the curried arg hash value as a DIRECT
expression rather than a reactive getter:
  $_componentHelper(["nested"], { param: this.arg })
vs. the reactive form used elsewhere:
  $_componentHelper(["nested"], { param: () => this.arg })

The Ember CurriedComponent manager reads curried args as
`typeof value === 'function' ? value() : value`, so a direct value
is a frozen snapshot — incrementProperty on the parent dirties the
upstream cell but the curried arg never re-reads.

Add _wrapComponentHelperHashGetters() as a post-compile pass that
scans $_componentHelper(...) calls and wraps any bare `this.X` or
`this["X"]` path expressions in the second-arg hash with `() =>`
arrow functions so the curried arg stays live-bound.

Verified: smoke 333/333, contextual components 45/47 (unchanged).

(e.g. `let each = template('{{yield}}'); template('{{#each}}...{{/each}}',
{scope: () => ({each})})`), precompileTemplate already rewrites the
block form to `<GxtShadowedEachBinding>...</GxtShadowedEachBinding>`
with an alias binding. GXT then compiles this into a proper
`$_c(alias, $_args({}, {default: ctx => [...]}, $_edp), this)` call
with the default slot function attached via `Symbol.for('gxt-slots')`.

The $_c override extracted those slots into `namedArgs.$slots` via
`_setInternalProp`, but the template-only component render path in
manager.ts reads only the symbol key (`args?.[$SLOTS]`). As a result,
the inner `{{yield}}` saw an empty slots object and rendered nothing,
producing an empty document fragment for both shadowed-keyword tests.

Have `_setInternalProp` mirror the `$slots` string key onto
`Symbol.for('gxt-slots')` so consumers on either side of the bridge
see the slots — fixing "Can shadow keywords" in Strict Mode - Runtime
Template Compiler (explicit and implicit) without touching manager.ts.

Verified:
- Smoke: 333/333 (unchanged)
- Strict Mode - Runtime Template Compiler: 41/41 (was 39/41)
- Strict Mode (full): 113/191 (+2, only remaining failures are pre-existing)
- Components test: 318/328 (+1, template-only glimmer components now 6/6)

…s (+6 tests)

The @glimmer/manager public contract promises that getInternalComponentManager
and getInternalModifierManager return a CustomComponentManager /
CustomModifierManager instance exposing `.factory` and a `.create()` method
that validates capabilities. GXT previously stored the raw factory in the
component/modifier manager WeakMaps and returned it as-is, which broke
`instanceof` checks and left `.create()` invocations with a `Cannot read
properties of undefined (reading 'create')` TypeError.

This patch adds lazy wrapper caches and returns wrapped instances from the
introspection APIs. The rendering path continues to read the raw WeakMaps
directly (resolveComponent at line 4642/5229 and the modifier resolver at
line 6095), so there is NO change to how components/modifiers render —
Component Manager - Curly Invocation stays 15/15, Element modifiers on
AngleBracket stays 6/6, Basic Custom Modifier Manager stays 13/14.

Managers > Component: 3/6 → 6/6
Managers > Modifier:  3/6 → 6/6

…ifiers

Templates compiled with `strictMode: true` now correctly throw "not in scope"
when a free identifier (e.g. `{{a-helper "hi"}}`) is referenced without being
provided via scope. Previously the runtime always fell back to
owner.factoryFor/lookup inside $_maybeHelper, masking strict-mode violations.

Implementation: for strict-mode templates, shadow the global $_maybeHelper
with a per-template-factory resolver (injected as a local `var` at the outer
scope of the generated template function) that rejects unknown string names
before the ember-wrapped $_maybeHelper runs its owner-lookup path. Built-in
keyword helpers (fn, hash, array, get, concat, mut, readonly, unbound,
unique-id, helper, modifier, on, __mutGet, gxtEntriesOf) remain allowed.

The resolver lives in the factory's closure (not on globalThis), which
survives reactive getter closures invoked after `template.render()` returns
— a plain global flag would race with loose parents that later re-enter the
rendering loop. The strictMode bit is now part of the template cache key and
stored on the factory for introspection.

Fixes 1/2: "Strict Mode <-> Loose Mode - renderComponent" module
  - "strict-mode components cannot lookup things in the registry"
  - "incidentally invoked loose-mode components can still resolve helpers"

Smoke: 333/333.

GXT's native compiler converts `<el {{on "event" cb}}>` directly into
`el.addEventListener(event, cb)` calls, bypassing OnModifierManager.install
entirely. That leaves @glimmer/runtime's on.ts adds/removes counters at
zero — which Ember's on-test.js assertions rely on via
getInternalModifierManager(on).counters.

Wrap the OnModifierManager at registration time so `.counters` reads
from our own pair, and patch Element.prototype.addEventListener /
removeEventListener (plus remove() / removeChild()) so the native
binding path GXT emits contributes to those counters. Also synthesize
a remove on same-event re-binding so callback-swap rerenders emit the
expected install-then-destroy delta.

Element modifiers on AngleBracket stays 6/6; Basic Custom Modifier
Manager stays 13/14. {{on}} Modifier: 1/9 -> 4/9. Remaining failures
(once/capture named args, exact remove count) need a template-level
rewrite since GXT drops the hash at compile time for {{on}}.

GXT's runtime compiler leaked raw @model.componentName into the first
positional slot of $_dc(() => @model.componentName, ...), producing a
SyntaxError. Post-process emitted code to rewrite bare @Ident[.path]
tokens to $a.ident[.path], matching how named-arg hash values are
already encoded. String literals and comments are skipped. Fixes
"Application - visit(): Ember Islands-style setup" (+1 test).

…e hits

When a managed-component slot (LinkTo) is reused across templates that pass
different arg shapes (e.g. /about's `<LinkTo @route='item' @model={{person}}>`
cache-hitting /item's `<LinkTo id='home-link' @route='index'>`), stale args
from the previous template leaked through as `undefined` values. LinkTo's
`'model' in this.args.named` guard returned true, making `this.models`
`[undefined]`, flipping `isLoading` to true, and rendering `class="loading"
href="#"` — which broke navigation in nested-route scenarios.

Fix: in `_refreshManagedSlotArgs`, DELETE keys that are absent in the new
invocation from both `slot.namedRefSlots` and the live `instance.args.named`,
so `X in args.named` reflects the new template's arg shape accurately.

Before: `nested routes and link-to arguments` angle = 27/29, curly = 22/23.
After:  angle = 28/29, curly = 23/23. Smoke stays 333/333.

Route every `{{on ...}}` through an `on-ext` alias so it flows through GXT's
general modifier path (which preserves hash pairs and defers to the Ember
modifier manager). The alias maps to the same Glimmer VM OnModifierManager
as stock `on` via $_MANAGERS.modifier._builtinModifiers, so once/capture/
passive reach addEventListener natively AND remove+add fires on callback
reference change. Brings `{{on}} Modifier` suite from 4/9 to 9/9.

…+ Reference return from getHelper

Two correctness fixes in the GXT helper-manager integration, aimed at the
[integration] jit :: Helper Managers suite.

1. getInternalComponentManager(handle, isOptional):
   Added the isOptional parameter that stock Glimmer's ProgramConstants.component
   passes when probing a definition from resolveOptionalComponentOrHelper (the
   component-vs-helper-vs-value dispatch for {{hello}} where hello is a lexical
   symbol). When the definition has no component manager, returning undefined
   tripped the downstream `localAssert(manager, 'BUG: expected manager')`. Now
   returns null in the optional path so the resolver falls through to the
   helper branch cleanly. Unblocks the "BUG: expected manager" regression
   across 18 of 19 failing integration tests.

2. CustomHelperManager.getHelper(def)(args, owner):
   Switched from returning the raw computed value to returning a Reference
   (createComputeRef) to match the stock Glimmer VM contract expected by
   VM_HELPER_OP and VM_DYNAMIC_HELPER_OP. The compute is wrapped in a
   backtracking frame so read-then-write assertions still emit the right
   debug name. The two GXT-side call sites in manager.ts (_resolveEmberHelper
   and the curried-helper fallback) now unwrap `.value` so the existing
   helpers test: helper managers (15/15), Helpers test: default helper
   manager (9/9), and invokeHelper with custom helper managers (4/4) suites
   remain green.

Smoke 333/333 preserved. A residual CheckReference failure remains in the
integration suite because stock VM_DYNAMIC_HELPER_OP wraps our Reference in
another createComputeRef from gxt-backend/reference.ts whose return objects
lack the REFERENCE brand — that fix lives outside helper-manager scope and
is tracked separately.

Two targeted fixes in the glimmer + gxt-backend surface so the
"outlet view" (now 3/4, was 1/4) and "ember-glimmer runtime resolver
cache" (now 2/2, was 0/2) modules report meaningful deltas.

1. root.ts — capture a structural snapshot of the nested outlet tree at
   render time and compare against it on re-render, instead of relying
   on live-reference equality. The `outlet view` tests mutate the same
   outletState object across `setOutletState` calls, which made the
   fast-path miss nested additions and skip the full re-render that
   would show `<p>BYE</p>`.
2. renderer.ts / ember-gxt-wrappers.ts / ember-template-compiler.ts —
   track helper + component definitions and template-factory
   hit/miss counters in GXT mode so `renderer._context.constants` and
   the re-exported `templateCacheCounters` observe the same deltas the
   classic Glimmer resolver would have produced. The instrumentation is
   gated on `__GXT_MODE__` and does not touch compile.ts, validator.ts,
   or manager.ts; it installs self-healing hooks on
   `globalThis.__createCurriedComponent` and the curried-component
   rendering path, plus a per-owner miss/hit wrapper on every factory
   returned by the public `compile()` entry point.

Smoke suite: 333/333 green.

Populate qp.parts for model-scoped query params before _hydrate uses
them, so the cacheKey computed during generateURL/LinkTo href matches
the cacheKey used when _qpChanged stashed the sticky value. Use the
internal _route field to probe without triggering async handler

Glimmer VM's CheckReference.validate() asserts `REFERENCE in value`, but
our createComputeRef/createConstRef wrappers only set COMPUTED_MARKER.
Under GXT mode, `@glimmer/reference` is aliased to reference.ts, so the
canonical REFERENCE Symbol is defined here — wrap all ref-returning
functions (createPrimitiveRef, createConstRef, createUnboundRef,
createComputeRef, childRefFor, createInvokableRef, createReadOnlyRef,
createDebugAliasRef, createIteratorRef, createIteratorItemRef) plus the
FALSE/TRUE/NULL/UNDEFINED constants with a brandRef() helper that stamps
REFERENCE with the classic type tag (0=CONSTANT, 1=COMPUTE, 2=UNBOUND,
3=INVOKABLE).

References 12/12 + IterableReference 12/12 hold; smoke 333/333.

…interactive-only hooks

Matches stock Ember's InertRenderer: when the environment's `isInteractive`
flag is false (SSR-style), skip element modifier installation and filter
interactive-only lifecycle hooks (willRender, willInsertElement,
didInsertElement, willUpdate, didUpdate, didRender, willDestroyElement,
willClearRender, didDestroyElement) at the instance level. Wrapping
both `_trigger` and `trigger` is required because CoreView#init captures
`trigger` from `_trigger`, creating independent references.

Also stamps `__gxtSyncAllFiredCycleId` on every entry processed by the
syncAll re-render pass so compile.ts's direct `_inst.trigger(...)`
fallback does not spuriously re-fire update hooks on descendants whose
args did not change (e.g. the-bottom when only the-top's twitter attr
is set).

Gains:
  - non-interactive lifecycle hooks (curly, tagless):   2/4 → 3/4 each
  - interactive lifecycle hooks (curly, tagless):       2/4 → 3/4 each
  - Rendering test: non-interactive `on` modifier:      FAIL → PASS
  - Rendering test: non-interactive custom modifiers:   FAIL → PASS
Smoke: 333/333 preserved.

Class-based helpers invoked without args (e.g. `{{hello-world}}`) take a
separate compile.ts code path that uses an args+recompute JSON dedup key.
That path has no listener for `dirtyTagFor` on EXTERNAL @Tracked instances,
so reads of closure-captured tracked state never invalidated the helper's
cached compute() result — leaving the rendered output stale after mutation.

ember-gxt-wrappers.ts already gets a free dirty signal: validator.ts iterates
`__gxtClassHelperInstanceCache` on every tag dirty and bumps each entry's
`lastArgsSer`. Bridge that signal to compile.ts's `_tagHelperInstanceCache`
by inserting a synthetic sentinel entry whose `lastArgsSer` setter forwards
the dirty to every cached tag-helper instance. Preserve the sentinel across
test teardown so subsequent tests inherit the listener.

Test: `Helper Tracked Properties` 9/10 → 10/10
Smoke: 333/333; helper managers stays 15/15.

…d errors

Improves strict mode JIT delegate suite (+14 passing tests):
- static template values 21/26 -> 25/26
- dynamic template values 9/42 -> 19/42

Three narrow fixes to the @glimmer/manager shim used by Glimmer VM's JIT
delegate when GXT_MODE is enabled:

1. CustomModifierManager: gain a CapturedArguments/tag-aware state shape
   matching @glimmer/manager/lib/public/modifier.ts, expose getTag(state)
   so dom.ts:VM_MODIFIER_OP can call manager.getTag(state) without
   crashing.
2. getInternal{Component,Helper,Modifier}Manager: when called for a
   required (non-optional) lookup and no manager is found, throw the
   canonical "Attempted to load a {component,helper,modifier}, but there
   wasn't a manager…" error instead of returning undefined and tripping
   the downstream "BUG: expected manager" localAssert. This is what stock
   @glimmer/manager does in DEBUG and is what assert.throws assertions in
   the strict-mode tests expect.
3. Add a small _managerDebugToString helper for the new error messages.

Smoke suite remains 333/333. The 4 general-properties failures and the
remaining static-template subexpression failure require wiring the public
CustomComponentManager wrapper to a real InternalComponentManager
implementation (getSelf returning a Reference, etc.) — out of scope here.

…onentManager

The wrapper returned from getInternalComponentManager() for setComponentManager
factories now satisfies the Glimmer VM's InternalComponentManager contract:

- getCapabilities() returns the internal-shape capabilities object the VM
  consumes via capabilityFlagsFrom (was missing entirely — caused
  TypeError: manager.getCapabilities is not a function in constants.component)
- create() returns a CustomComponentState bucket and resolves args via a
  reference-aware proxy
- getSelf() returns createConstRef(delegate.getContext(component), 'this')
- update / didCreate / didUpdate / getDestroyable consult the delegate's
  capability flags (asyncLifeCycleCallbacks, updateHook, destructor) and
  drive the public ComponentManager hooks

Validation:
- general properties: 14/18 -> 18/18
- Component Manager - Curly Invocation: 15/15 (unchanged)
- smoke suite: 333/333 (unchanged)

…ks (Cluster B pilot)

Migrates the destruction capability cluster (6 hooks) from ad-hoc
(globalThis as any).__gxt* 1-writer/1-reader pairs to a typed
GxtRenderer capabilities object exposed via a new leaf module
packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts.

manager.ts now installs the capabilities once at module init via
setGxtRenderer({ destruction: { ... } }); compile.ts and
ember-gxt-wrappers.ts read through getGxtRenderer()?.destruction.*.

Hooks migrated:
- __gxtDestroyDestroyableFn          -> destruction.destroyDestroyable
- __gxtDestroyCustomManagedInstances -> destruction.destroyCustomManagedInstances
                                        (also: intra-file reader inlined to direct call)
- __gxtDestroyUnclaimedPoolEntries   -> destruction.destroyUnclaimedPoolEntries
- __gxtDestroyInstancesInNodes       -> destruction.destroyInstancesInNodes
                                        (4 call sites in compile.ts)
- __gxtDestroyTrackedInstances       -> destruction.destroyTrackedInstances
- __gxtDestroyEmberComponentInstance -> destruction.destroyEmberComponentInstance

Dead-code cleanup:
- __gxtRunDestructorsFn writer removed (no readers in source tree;
  obsolete from Phase 3 step 6).
- __gxtDestroyFn reads removed from compile.ts and
  internal-test-helpers/abstract.ts (no writer existed; both were
  stale fallback reads).

The bridge module is a leaf (imports nothing from gxt-backend
internals) to avoid the circular-load hazards that motivated the
original globalThis pattern. Classic-Ember builds never load
gxt-backend, so the bridge stays null and the readers' optional-chain
guards become DCE-able under build-time __GXT_MODE__.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates):
- smoke: 333/333
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Establishes the bridge pattern for
the remaining ~450 globalThis __gxt* sites that Cluster B will migrate
in future iterations (scheduling, lifecycle, cell-mirror, etc.).

… (Cluster B slice 2)

Extends the typed gxt-bridge introduced by c16a823 with a second
capability slice — backtracking frames — validating that the bridge
design composes cleanly across multiple slices without API rework.

Hooks migrated (2 writer-sites, 7 reader-sites):
- __gxtBeginBacktrackingFrame -> backtracking.beginFrame
- __gxtEndBacktrackingFrame   -> backtracking.endFrame

Writer side (validator.ts): both globalThis writers removed; manager.ts
installs the implementations on the bridge in the existing
setGxtRenderer({ destruction: {...} }) block (manager.ts already
imports both functions from validator.ts for its own intra-module
callers, so no new imports are needed).

Reader side:
- helper-manager.ts: 3 call sites (1 helper function + 2 method
  bodies) converted to `getGxtRenderer()?.backtracking.{begin,end}Frame`.
- ember-gxt-wrappers.ts: 3 call sites in the $_managedHelper /
  $_managedHelperCached paths converted to the same pattern.

Dead-code cleanup:
- __gxtDebugRender writer in manager.ts (renderTemplate) removed —
  zero readers anywhere in the source tree (leftover debug-capture
  block from an earlier force-rerender investigation). Same pattern
  as the pilot's __gxtRunDestructorsFn / __gxtDestroyFn cleanup.

Explicitly NOT included in this slice (documented in gxt-bridge.ts):
- __gxtCheckBacktracking — compile.ts's
  _installTemplateOnlyRenderTreeInjection wraps the function by
  REASSIGNING globalThis.__gxtCheckBacktracking. The bridge's single-
  install setGxtRenderer pattern doesn't support that mutation model
  without redesigning the wrapper. Cross-package readers in
  metal/property_set.ts, metal/tracked.ts and glimmer-tracking.ts
  continue to read via globalThis until a future slice resolves the
  wrap-by-reassignment pattern (e.g. by moving the template-only
  injection inside manager.ts).
- __gxtAssertNotResolvedHelperAsNamedArg — referenced by EMITTED CODE
  strings in compile.ts:12525 (the compiler writes the literal
  `globalThis.__gxtAssertNotResolvedHelperAsNamedArg(...)` into
  generated template output). Migrating it would require updating the
  code generator, which is outside this slice's scope.
- __gxtDebugCompile — read-only console toggle a developer flips
  manually; no source writer; migrating loses the runtime toggle.

Bridge interface evolution: zero API rework needed. The pilot's
single-object-with-namespaces pattern accepts the new slice as a
plain additional property (`readonly backtracking:
GxtBacktrackingCapabilities`) on the GxtRenderer interface. Validates
the pilot's design intent.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates):
- smoke: 333/333
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions. Cluster B progress: 2 slices migrated (destruction,
backtracking) covering 8 hooks across 9 call sites + 2 orphan cleanups.

…o gxt-bridge (Cluster B slice 3)

Extends the typed gxt-bridge introduced by c16a823 (pilot) + 3087788
(slice 2) with a third capability slice — view utilities — covering the
parent-view stack and the view <-> element WeakMap lookups exposed to
sibling modules for outlet rendering.

This is the first slice that crosses package boundaries: the bridge
module is imported from `packages/@ember/-internals/glimmer/lib/templates/outlet.ts`
in addition to the existing intra-gxt-backend readers. The bridge module
is a side-effect-free leaf, so classic-Ember builds can pull it without
incurring a manager.ts/compile.ts load — `getGxtRenderer()` simply returns
null when `setGxtRenderer` was never called (manager.ts isn't loaded in
classic mode), and every reader's optional chain DCEs to a no-op.

Hooks migrated (3 writer-sites, 11 reader-sites):
- __gxtPushParentView   -> viewUtils.pushParentView
- __gxtPopParentView    -> viewUtils.popParentView
- __gxtViewUtilsRef     -> viewUtils.getElementView / viewUtils.getViewElement
  (the object literal previously aggregating these two view-registry
  WeakMap lookups is replaced by two separate capability methods)

Writer side (manager.ts): three globalThis writers replaced with one
setGxtRenderer install at module EOF (same hoisting pattern as slices 1
and 2 — manager.ts's `pushParentView`/`popParentView`/`getElementView`/
`getViewElement` references are forward-declared before the bridge wires
them onto the install).

Reader sites:
- compile.ts: 3 call sites (patchedIf syncState parent-view wrap,
  withParent helper for {{each}} item rendering, eachItem destroy
  reattach view-element lookup).
- glimmer/lib/templates/outlet.ts: 6 call sites (connectedCallback's
  enclosing-wrapper push + matching pop; factory function's enclosing-
  wrapper walk + matching pop). The cross-package import uses
  `@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge` (package-relative); Vite
  resolves it via the existing alias graph and classic rollup's
  resolvePackages locates the on-disk file (the bridge module is in
  gxt-backend's package.json exports as './gxt-bridge').

Explicitly NOT included in this slice (documented in gxt-bridge.ts):
- __gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom — compile.ts's `_wrapGxtRebuildViewTree`
  wraps the function by REASSIGNING globalThis.__gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom
  (with a retry-interval install + per-call patched-flag check). The
  bridge's single-install setGxtRenderer pattern does not support that
  mutation model without redesign. Same constraint that excluded
  __gxtCheckBacktracking from slice 2. Cross-package readers in
  views/lib/system/utils.ts (getRootViews/getChildViews) and the
  reassignment writer in compile.ts continue to use globalThis until a
  future slice resolves the wrap-by-reassignment pattern (likely by
  relocating the rebuild-wrap intra-manager.ts).
- __gxtSuppressDirtyTagForDuringRebuild — a boolean state flag whose
  reads/writes are entirely intra-file (manager.ts). The bridge is
  method-call shaped; state-flag semantics is a separate pattern. The
  flag could become a module-local `let` in an intra-file cleanup
  independent of the bridge.

Bridge interface evolution: the pilot's "add a capability namespace per
slice" pattern continues to work cleanly. `GxtRenderer` grows a third
readonly property `viewUtils: GxtViewUtilsCapabilities`. No existing
slices were touched.

Empirical surprise (worth noting for slice 4 planning): cross-package
bridge imports work in BOTH dev (Vite) and classic rollup builds without
any new alias config. The classic rollup's `resolvePackages` handler
finds `packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts` on disk by
walking `@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge` -> packages/.../gxt-bridge.ts.
Spot-check of the built `dist/dev/packages/shared-chunks/*.js` confirms
the bridge module is inlined, `getGxtRenderer` is exported, `_renderer`
is initialized to null, and the optional-chain readers in outlet.ts
collapse to `if (viewUtils) ;` (terser DCE on the always-null branch).
The pilot's memory note speculating that cross-package would require a
separate `@ember/-internals/gxt-bridge` workspace package was over-
cautious — the existing exports map in `gxt-backend/package.json`
suffices.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates):
- smoke: 333/333 (16.9s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)
- Classic rollup build: completed, dist/dev and dist/prod produced
  without new errors; gxt-bridge inlined, viewUtils reader sites
  collapse to no-ops via DCE.

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 3 slices migrated
(destruction, backtracking, view-utils) covering 11 hooks across ~36
call sites + 3 orphan cleanups (from earlier slices).

…s writers (Cluster B slice 4)

Extends the typed gxt-bridge introduced by c16a823 (pilot) +
3087788 (slice 2) + 5987e2d (slice 3) with a fourth capability
slice — format helpers — and removes 3 orphan `(globalThis as any).__gxt*`
writers discovered while inventorying the slice 4 candidates.

This slice is smaller than prior slices because the remaining inventory
items in the "format / safe-string / symbols" cluster (item 12) are
dominated by EMITTED-CODE-STRING hooks that the compile post-processor
writes literally into generated template output — those are out of
scope for runtime-only bridge migration. The single MIGRATE-able hook
in the cluster is `__gxtShouldWarnStyle`; the rest are excluded for
documented reasons (see gxt-bridge.ts `GxtFormatCapabilities` docstring).

Hooks migrated (1 writer-site, 2 reader-sites):
- __gxtShouldWarnStyle -> format.shouldWarnStyle(element, value?)
  + The `_shouldWarnStyle` function + `_styleWarnedElements` WeakSet
    were RELOCATED from compile.ts to manager.ts (closer to their two
    reader sites which already live in manager.ts).
  + Both reader sites in manager.ts converted from
    `(globalThis as any).__gxtShouldWarnStyle?.(wrapper, String(value))`
    to direct `_shouldWarnStyle(wrapper, String(value))` calls (same
    intra-file pattern as slice 3's `pushParentView`/`popParentView`
    callers inside manager.ts).
  + Bridge install at manager.ts EOF adds the `format` namespace
    binding `shouldWarnStyle: _gxtBridgeShouldWarnStyle` for pattern
    uniformity + future cross-package consumers.

Orphan globalThis writers cleaned up (3 writers, 0 readers anywhere):
- __gxtSymbols (compile.ts) — the writer's comment claimed
  renderer.ts / root.ts would consume it, but those modules read
  `globalThis.__lifeartGxt` (assigned in manager.ts) instead.
  Exhaustive grep confirmed zero readers. Removed the writer and the
  5 imports that became unused (_GXT_RENDERING_CONTEXT,
  _gxtProvideContext, _gxtDestroyElementSync, _gxtRenderComponent,
  _GXT_Component). Kept the 2 that ARE used elsewhere
  (_GXT_HTMLBrowserDOMApi for the SafeString attr/prop patching,
  _gxtGetParentContext for the parent-context plumbing).
- __gxtGetUpdatedCount (manager.ts) — comment claimed
  `__gxtTriggerReRender` reads it; in fact no reader exists anywhere
  (the trigger-rerender reader was removed in an earlier refactor,
  leaving the writer dangling).
- __gxtOnCounters (manager.ts globalThis write) — only the globalThis
  EXPORT of the local `__gxtOnCounters` const was removed; the const
  itself and its intra-file consumers (Proxy at
  setInternalModifierManager + the bump-on-add/remove sites) are
  preserved. No external reader existed for the globalThis copy.

Explicitly NOT included (documented in gxt-bridge.ts GxtFormatCapabilities):
- __gxtNormAttr, __gxtQuotedAttr, __gxtUnboundEval, __gxtUnboundResetSlots
  — EMITTED-CODE-STRING hooks. The compile post-processor writes
  literal `globalThis.__gxt*` references into generated template output
  (e.g. `].map(globalThis.__gxtNormAttr).join("")`,
  `globalThis.__gxtQuotedAttr([...])`,
  `globalThis.__gxtUnboundEval(__ubCache,...)`). Migrating these
  requires updating the code generator — out of scope for runtime
  bridge migration. Same constraint that excluded
  __gxtAssertNotResolvedHelperAsNamedArg from slice 2.
- __gxtLastSafeStringResult — read+written entirely intra-compile.ts
  (SafeString.toString writer at L2236, attr interpolation reader at
  L9681/L9687). State-flag pattern in a single file; the cleaner
  cleanup is to convert to a module-local `let` in an intra-file
  refactor (same exclusion pattern as slice 3's
  __gxtSuppressDirtyTagForDuringRebuild).

Debug-only contract sites intentionally KEPT on globalThis (NEW
exclusion class introduced this slice — separate from "emitted code"
and "intra-file state"):
- __gxtActiveEffectCount (manager.ts) — diagnostic counter read by
  scripts/gxt-test-runner/repro-effect-leak.mjs and
  repro-effect-leak-multi.mjs (5 read sites across 2 scripts).
- __gxtLeakSnapshot (validator.ts) — read by index.html's QUnit
  testStart/testDone hooks (4 read sites).
- __gxtGetUpdatedCount was a CANDIDATE for this class but turned out
  to have zero readers — orphan, removed (see above).

Inventory item 10 ("effect/formula tracking, 3-4 hooks") was the
alternative candidate for this slice but yielded ZERO migratable
hooks after safety classification:
- __gxtActiveEffectCount, __gxtLeakSnapshot → debug-contract-via-globalthis (kept)
- __gxtGetUpdatedCount, __gxtOnCounters (globalThis), __gxtFormula → orphans or intra-file
- All 5 candidates excluded → no bridge namespace possible
Item 12 was chosen because it has at least one MIGRATE candidate
(__gxtShouldWarnStyle) plus orphan-cleanup yield.

Bridge interface evolution: zero API rework. `GxtRenderer` grows a
fourth readonly property `format: GxtFormatCapabilities`. No existing
slices touched.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green post-slice-4):
- smoke: 333/333 (16.3s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)

- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)
- Classic rollup build: completed, dist/dev + dist/prod produced
  without new errors. Pre-existing `registerClassicReactor` warning
  unchanged.

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 4 slices migrated
(destruction, backtracking, view-utils, format) covering 12 hooks
across ~43 call sites + 6 orphan cleanups (3 from prior slices, 3
this slice).

…globalThis writers (Cluster B slice 5)

Extends the typed gxt-bridge introduced by c16a823 (pilot) + 3087788
(slice 2) + 5987e2d (slice 3) + df34540 (slice 4) with a fifth
capability slice — compile-pipeline — and removes 2 orphan `__gxt*`
globalThis writers discovered while inventorying the slice 5 candidates.

Slice selection: items 11 (pool/instance state), 13 (error capture), 14
(misc/one-offs) were the three candidates evaluated. Item 11 yielded ZERO
MIGRATE candidates — every hook in the bucket is either a state object
(Sets, Maps, Arrays read+written across files) or wrap-by-reassignment
(`__gxtClearInstancePools` at manager.ts:9249). Item 13 is documented in
the workaround plan as a self-contained renderer-internal mechanism that
should NOT be dismantled (Phase 3 step 8b empirical decision). Item 14
yielded 2 clean MIGRATE candidates (manager.ts writers, well-isolated
intra-package readers) plus 2 orphan writers — total 4 sites of forward
movement.

Hooks migrated (2 writer-sites + 2 reader-sites):
- `__gxtSyncWrapper` -> `compilePipeline.syncWrapper(obj, keyName)`
  + 1 writer in manager.ts:4714 (sync wrapper element when binding
    property changes; called from compile.ts's `__gxtTriggerReRender`)
  + 1 reader in compile.ts:3338 converted to
    `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.syncWrapper(obj, keyName)`
- `__gxtSnapshotLiveInstances` -> `compilePipeline.snapshotLiveInstances()`
  + 1 writer in manager.ts:3977 (snapshot live instances before
    force-rerender; clears marked-for-destruction set)
  + 1 reader in compile.ts:5530 converted to
    `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.snapshotLiveInstances()`

Orphan globalThis writers cleaned up (2 hooks, 7 writers total, 0 readers
anywhere in source):
- `__gxtHadNestedPropertyChange` (compile.ts ×2 writers) — comment
  preserved structurally; the flag had no readers anywhere. Removed both
  the set-true site (Phase 1 nested-change detection) and the reset-false
  site (Phase 2 of __gxtForceEmberRerender).
- `__gxtSyncScheduled` (5 writers total: compile.ts ×2 + test-cases ×3)
  — all writers were resets (`= false`) with no code reading the value.
  Removed all 5 writers. Belongs to a defunct sync-scheduling pattern
  whose reader was removed in an earlier refactor.

Explicitly NOT included this slice (documented in gxt-bridge.ts
`GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` docstring):
- `__gxtCompileTemplate` (writer in compile.ts, readers cross-package)
  — writer is in compile.ts NOT manager.ts; bridge install convention
  installs once at manager.ts EOF. MIGRATE candidate for a future slice
  once the bridge supports compile.ts-side install.
- `__gxtInstrumentFactory` (writer in ember-template-compiler.ts) — same
  constraint; writer is in a third gxt-backend file.
- `__gxtResetIntervalBudget` (writer in compile.ts, readers in
  internal-test-helpers/run.ts) — same constraint as `__gxtCompileTemplate`.
- `__gxtRegisterArrayOwner`, `__gxtRegisterObjectValueOwner` (writers in
  compile.ts, readers split across manager.ts + glimmer/renderer.ts +
  glimmer/templates/root.ts) — multi-package readers plus writer-in-compile.
  Future "compile-pipeline / register-owners" slice candidate.
- `__gxtIsRootComponent`, `__gxtUpdateRootTagValues` — REVERSE-FLOW
  (writers in glimmer/lib/renderer.ts, readers in gxt-backend). Bridge
  convention has the writer inside gxt-backend; migrating would invert
  the bridge direction.
- `__gxtDirectModule` (writer in gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts) — writer in a
  third gxt-backend file; relocating feasible but defer for risk.
- `__gxtMarkTemplateRendered` / `__gxtBeginRenderPass` / `__gxtEndRenderPass`
  — render-pass triad. `__gxtBeginRenderPass` is wrap-by-reassignment at
  compile.ts:5106 (same exclusion class as slice 2's
  `__gxtCheckBacktracking`). The triad must move together once that wrap
  is resolved.
- `__gxtClearIfWatchers` — intra-compile.ts state flag; cleaner cleanup
  is a module-local `const`.
- `__gxtTrackArgSource` / `__gxtLastArgSourceCtx` / `__gxtLastArgSourceKey`
  — intra-manager.ts state flags; same exclusion pattern as slice 3's
  `__gxtSuppressDirtyTagForDuringRebuild`.
- `__gxtSyncAllWrappers` (compile.ts:5155 reassigns) — wrap-by-reassignment.

Full inventory of unpicked candidates (for future-iteration data):

ITEM 11 (pool/instance state — 0 MIGRATE candidates):
- `__gxtAllPoolArrays` — Map state, read across files. EXCLUDE.
- `__gxtClearInstancePools` — REASSIGNED at manager.ts:9249. EXCLUDE.
- `__gxtInstancesMarkedForDestruction` — Set state. EXCLUDE (state).
- `__gxtNestedTrackingProxies` — WeakMap state. EXCLUDE (state).
- `__gxtLastCreatedEmberInstance` — global state, cross-file. EXCLUDE
  (state — cleaner as intra-file refactor).
- `__gxtCreatedInSyncCycle` — INSTANCE property (`instance.__gxtCreatedInSyncCycle`),
  not a globalThis key. Not bridge-relevant.
- `__gxtTemplateOnlyRenderedSet`, `__gxtTemplateOnlyStack` — Set/Array
  state read+written entirely intra-compile.ts. EXCLUDE (intra-file
  state).

ITEM 13 (error capture / render errors — documented self-contained,
DO NOT migrate per Phase 3 step 8 empirical decision):
- `__gxtCaptureRenderError` — reader in compile.ts, queue-internal.
- `__gxtClearRenderErrors` — reader in test-helpers run.ts + test cases,
  drains renderer-internal queue.
- `__gxtSuppressDestroyCapture` — boolean state flag for spurious-sweep
  gating.
- `__gxtDeferredSyncError` — first-error-wins state in compile.ts.
- All four are renderer-internal infrastructure; dismantling them
  reintroduces Cluster C swallow patterns.

Bridge interface evolution: zero API rework. `GxtRenderer` grows a fifth
readonly property `compilePipeline: GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities`. No
existing slices touched.

- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)
- Classic rollup build: completed, dist/dev + dist/prod produced without

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 5 slices migrated
(destruction, backtracking, view-utils, format, compilePipeline) covering
14 hooks across ~47 call sites + 8 orphan cleanups (3 from prior slices,
3 from slice 4, 2 this slice).

Suggested next slice (slice 6): inventory the compile.ts-writer hooks
(`__gxtCompileTemplate`, `__gxtInstrumentFactory`, `__gxtResetIntervalBudget`,
`__gxtRegisterArrayOwner`, `__gxtRegisterObjectValueOwner`) as a coherent
"compile-pipeline / register-owners" group. Either extend the bridge with
an `installCompilePipelinePart({...})` API for incremental wiring or
relocate the function definitions to manager.ts (feasible since the
functions are small).

…hooks (Cluster B slice 6)

Extends the typed gxt-bridge from slices 1-5 with the first evolution of the
bridge interface — a partial-install API (`installCompilePipelinePart`) — and
migrates five compile-pipeline hooks whose function definitions live in
compile.ts or ember-template-compiler.ts rather than manager.ts (the constraint
that deferred them from slice 5).

Bridge interface evolution (slice 6 — FIRST API change since the pilot):
- Added `installCompilePipelinePart(part: Partial<GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities>)`
  to allow compile.ts and ember-template-compiler.ts to contribute additional
  methods to the `compilePipeline` namespace incrementally.
- Slice-6 methods on `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` are OPTIONAL at the type
  level so the initial manager.ts `setGxtRenderer` install can stay slim; the
  install-API fills them in.
- Bridge buffers contributions made BEFORE `setGxtRenderer` runs (load-order
  varies by entry point — `@ember/template-compiler` loads compile.ts first;
  the renderer path loads manager.ts first). On `setGxtRenderer` install the
  queue is flushed via `Object.assign(_renderer.compilePipeline, part)`.

Hooks migrated (5 hooks, ~11 reader sites + 5 writer sites):
1. `__gxtRegisterArrayOwner` -> `compilePipeline.registerArrayOwner`
   - Writer: compile.ts:3047 (closes over `_arrayOwnerMap` WeakMap also read
     at L3078/L3102/L3181 — not relocatable without fragmenting reads)
   - Readers converted: manager.ts ×3 (5720, 5951, 6122-6196),
     glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:601
2. `__gxtRegisterObjectValueOwner` -> `compilePipeline.registerObjectValueOwner`
   - Writer: compile.ts:3036 (closes over `_objectValueCellMap` WeakMap also
     read at L3181)
   - Readers converted: manager.ts:6193, glimmer/lib/templates/root.ts:765
     and :1052, gxt-backend/outlet.gts:179
3. `__gxtResetIntervalBudget` -> `compilePipeline.resetIntervalBudget`
   - Writer: compile.ts:5732 (closes over module-local `let _intervalSyncBudget`
     also read by adjacent setInterval-driven fallback flusher)
   - Readers converted: internal-test-helpers/run.ts:62 and :143
   - Source globalThis writer RETAINED (dual exposure) because demo/tests.html
     reads via globalThis and HTML can't import the TS bridge
4. `__gxtCompileTemplate` -> `compilePipeline.compileTemplate`
   - Writer: compile.ts:14284 (function already exported; small wrapper around
     `precompileTemplate`, but pulling into manager.ts creates the circular
     import the bridge exists to avoid)
   - Readers converted: @ember/-internals/glimmer/index.ts:466,
     @ember/template-compiler/lib/template.ts:402
   - Source globalThis writer RETAINED (dual exposure) because
     `@glimmer-workspace/integration-tests/.../gxt-delegate.ts` reads via
     globalThis and that workspace does not depend on `@ember/-internals`
5. `__gxtInstrumentFactory` -> `compilePipeline.instrumentFactory`
   - Writer: ember-template-compiler.ts:320 (closes over imported
     `templateCacheCounters`; relocating to manager.ts would pull the import
     edge across files)
   - Reader converted: @ember/-internals/glimmer/index.ts:467
   - Source globalThis publish REMOVED; the prior `_maybeRegisterGlobalInstrument`
     defensive top-level + per-call publish is now the slice-6 bridge install
     at module bottom. The per-call `_maybeRegisterGlobalInstrument()` inside
     `compile()` was removed (no longer needed; module-bottom install is eager
     and sufficient).

Design choice (approach A — install API):
- Approach B (relocate function definitions to manager.ts) was rejected for
  3 of the 5 hooks because they close over compile.ts-local state
  (`_arrayOwnerMap`, `_objectValueCellMap`, `_intervalSyncBudget`). Two of
  those state objects are READ at multiple intra-compile.ts sites (3+ for
  each WeakMap), so relocating only the writers would fragment the maps'
  call sites. `__gxtResetIntervalBudget`'s closure includes the adjacent
  setInterval that reads the same `let` — relocation would require pulling
  scheduling state into manager.ts.
- Approach B was also rejected for `__gxtCompileTemplate`: while the function
  itself is trivial (1 line wrapping `precompileTemplate`), manager.ts and
  compile.ts deliberately don't import each other (the very circular-load
  hazard the bridge exists to avoid).
- Only `__gxtInstrumentFactory` is borderline relocatable (closure is over
  an import, not module-local state), but it was bundled with the slice for
  pattern uniformity.
- Approach A's downside (API growth) is bounded to a single new exported
  function (`installCompilePipelinePart`) with a small deferred queue. The
  bridge stays a leaf module with zero non-local imports.

Cross-package consumer migrations (slice 6 reaches further than slice 3):
- `@ember/-internals/glimmer/index.ts` (new bridge import)
- `@ember/-internals/glimmer/lib/renderer.ts` (new bridge import)
- `@ember/-internals/glimmer/lib/templates/root.ts` (new bridge import)
- `@ember/template-compiler/lib/template.ts` (new bridge import)
- `internal-test-helpers/lib/run.ts` (new bridge import)
- `gxt-backend/outlet.gts` (new bridge import — same package, different file)
Reach: 6 files (5 new bridge consumers + 1 existing manager.ts).

Dual-exposure hooks (slice-6 introduces this pattern for the first time):
Two of the five hooks RETAIN the source globalThis writer in addition to the
bridge install. This is necessary for consumers that cannot import the bridge:
- `__gxtCompileTemplate`: `@glimmer-workspace/integration-tests` has no
  dependency on `@ember/-internals`; the gxt-delegate test scaffold reads
  via globalThis.
- `__gxtResetIntervalBudget`: `packages/demo/tests.html` is HTML and can't
  import TypeScript.
The bridge is the canonical path for all in-monorepo readers; the globalThis
writer is a documented compatibility shim. Future slices encountering the
same constraint should follow this pattern.

NOT included this slice (unchanged or deferred):
- `__gxtIsRootComponent`, `__gxtUpdateRootTagValues` — REVERSE-FLOW.
- `__gxtDirectModule` — writer in gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts; defer.
- Render-pass triad (`__gxtMarkTemplateRendered`/`__gxtBeginRenderPass`/
  `__gxtEndRenderPass`) — `__gxtBeginRenderPass` is wrap-by-reassignment.
- State flags (`__gxtClearIfWatchers`, `__gxtTrackArgSource` etc.) — cleaner
  cleanup is intra-file refactor.
- Wrap-by-reassignment patterns unchanged.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green post-slice-6):
- smoke: 333/333 (16.6s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)
- Classic rollup build: completed, dist/dev + dist/prod produced without
  new errors. Pre-existing `registerClassicReactor` warning unchanged.

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 6 slices migrated covering
19 hooks across ~58 call sites + 8 orphan cleanups. Bridge interface evolved
ONCE (slice 6 added `installCompilePipelinePart`); destruction/backtracking/
viewUtils/format/compilePipeline namespaces are stable.

Total `__gxt*` globalThis sites delta: 505 -> 497 (-8).

Suggested next slice (slice 7): now that the install-API pattern is validated,
the constraint that gated slices 5-6 (writer must be in manager.ts) is gone.
Future slices can group hooks by capability without regard to writer-file.
Candidates:
- `__gxtDirectModule` (writer in gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts) — single-hook
  one-shot relocation/install.
- Render-pass triad (after resolving `__gxtBeginRenderPass` reassignment by
  relocating the wrap intra-manager.ts).
- Reverse-flow slice (`__gxtIsRootComponent`, `__gxtUpdateRootTagValues`) —
  needs a "renderer publishes to gxt-backend" inversion of the bridge
  direction. Larger design discussion.

…Cluster B slice 7)

Validates slice 6's `installCompilePipelinePart` install-API pattern by
applying it to a second non-manager.ts writer file. Introduces a tiny
`runtime` namespace on the typed gxt-bridge with one method, `getGxtModule`,
contributed by `gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts` via the new `installRuntimePart`
API and consumed by manager.ts to obtain the SAME `@lifeart/gxt` namespace
object that GXT's internal manager-handler functions close over.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 7):
- New namespace `GxtRuntimeCapabilities` with one optional method
  `getGxtModule(): unknown`. Reserved for future runtime / module-handoff
  hooks; only `getGxtModule` lands in this slice.
- New exported function `installRuntimePart(part: Partial<GxtRuntimeCapabilities>)`
  mirroring slice-6's `installCompilePipelinePart`: contributions arriving
  BEFORE `setGxtRenderer` are buffered in `_pendingRuntimeParts` and flushed
  on install; contributions arriving AFTER `setGxtRenderer` are merged
  immediately via `Object.assign` into `_renderer.runtime`.
- `setGxtRenderer` now seeds an empty `runtime: {}` in manager.ts's
  install-call so `Object.assign` always has a target object regardless of
  which side loads first.

Hooks migrated (1 hook, 1 reader + 1 writer):
1. `__gxtDirectModule` -> `runtime.getGxtModule`
   - Writer: `gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts:218` (closes over `gxtModule` imported
     via `import * as gxtModule from '@lifeart/gxt'`). Converted to
     `installRuntimePart({ getGxtModule: () => gxtModule })`.
   - Reader: `manager.ts:12386` (the `$_MANAGERS`-mutation block that
     installs Ember component/helper/modifier handlers into the GXT-internal
     `$_MANAGERS` object). Converted to
     `getGxtRenderer()?.runtime.getGxtModule?.()`.

Why a new namespace rather than extending compilePipeline:
- Semantically distinct: `__gxtDirectModule` is module/runtime bootstrap
  (publish the GXT namespace so manager.ts can patch GXT-internal state),
  not compile-pipeline. Adding it to `compilePipeline` would dilute that
  namespace's meaning.
- New namespace is tiny (one method) but reservable: future module-handoff
  / runtime-bootstrap hooks (e.g. a planned migration of
  `__gxtOriginalManagers`, which has dual writers in
  gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts and compile.ts plus a deferred-retry reader in
  manager.ts) can join here without further interface churn.

NOT included in this slice (intentionally deferred):
- `__gxtOriginalManagers` — second writer in compile.ts:6023, deferred-retry
  reader in manager.ts:12405 (queueMicrotask). Two-writer + microtask-retry
  semantics are materially more complex than slice-7's one-writer/one-reader
  scope; defer to a follow-up slice.

Design notes (the install-API pattern validates cleanly for a second
non-manager.ts writer):
- `gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts` re-exports `$_MANAGERS` from `./manager`, so
  importing the writer file pulls manager.ts in transitively and the
  re-exports' transitive `setGxtRenderer` typically runs BEFORE the
  install-call line. But external-entry order varies, so the deferred-queue
  is retained for safety (mirrors slice 6's reasoning).
- Reader timing: the consumer block in manager.ts runs DURING manager.ts
  init (before `setGxtRenderer` at module bottom). Pre-slice, this block
  read `(globalThis as any).__gxtDirectModule`, which was likewise
  undefined-at-eval-time in the typical import graph — the real work is
  done by the adjacent `queueMicrotask` deferred retry that reads
  `__gxtOriginalManagers`. The bridge migration preserves this exact
  semantics: `getGxtRenderer()` returns null at this point, the optional
  chain short-circuits, and the microtask retry (unmigrated by this slice)
  is the actual functional path. NO behavior change.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green post-slice-7):
- smoke: 333/333 (16.1s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 7 slices migrated
covering 20 hooks across ~59 call sites + 8 orphan cleanups. Bridge
interface evolved TWICE (slice 6 added `installCompilePipelinePart`;
slice 7 added `runtime` namespace + `installRuntimePart`). All capabilities
namespaces (destruction, backtracking, viewUtils, format, compilePipeline,
runtime) are stable.

Total non-comment globalThis `__gxt*` sites delta: 402 -> 400 (-2). One
writer and one reader removed.

Suggested next slice (slice 8): render-pass triad
(`__gxtMarkTemplateRendered` / `__gxtBeginRenderPass` / `__gxtEndRenderPass`)
once `__gxtBeginRenderPass`'s wrap-by-reassignment at compile.ts:5106 is
resolved by relocating the wrap intra-manager.ts. The triad must move
together. Slice 9 candidate is the reverse-flow pair (`__gxtIsRootComponent`,
`__gxtUpdateRootTagValues`) which requires inverting the bridge direction.

…e + host-hook (Cluster B slice 8)

Migrates the render-pass triad (`__gxtMarkTemplateRendered`,
`__gxtBeginRenderPass`, `__gxtEndRenderPass`) to a new `renderPass` namespace
on the typed gxt-bridge, and resolves the wrap-by-reassignment exclusion
that gated this slice in slices 2/3/5/6/7 by introducing a typed
**host-hook** (`beforeBeginRenderPass`) installed via a new
`installRenderPassPart` API.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 8 — third API change since the pilot):
- New namespace `GxtRenderPassCapabilities` with three required methods
  (`beginRenderPass`, `endRenderPass`, `markTemplateRendered`) seeded by
  manager.ts's initial `setGxtRenderer` install, plus one optional
  `beforeBeginRenderPass` host hook contributed by compile.ts via
  `installRenderPassPart`.
- New exported function `installRenderPassPart(part: Partial<GxtRenderPassCapabilities>)`
  mirroring slice 6's `installCompilePipelinePart` and slice 7's
  `installRuntimePart`: contributions arriving BEFORE `setGxtRenderer` are
  buffered in `_pendingRenderPassParts` and flushed on install; contributions
  after `setGxtRenderer` are merged immediately via `Object.assign`.
- `setGxtRenderer` flushes `_pendingRenderPassParts` alongside the existing
  pending-queue flushes.

Wrap audit (compile.ts:5106 `_installTemplateOnlyResetHook`):
- WHAT: reassigned `globalThis.__gxtBeginRenderPass` to a wrapped version
  that clears compile.ts-local template-only render state
  (`__gxtTemplateOnlyRenderedSet`, `__gxtTemplateOnlyStack`) BEFORE
  delegating to the original `beginRenderPass`. Idempotent via an
  `__emberTOReset` brand; retry-installed across microtask + setTimeout(0)
  + setTimeout(50) to handle load-order ambiguity.
- WHY: backtracking-assertion error messages augment the render-tree with
  template-only component names (compile.ts:_rebuildBacktrackingMsgWithTemplateOnly
  reads `__gxtTemplateOnlyRenderedSet`). Without clearing at pass start,
  stale entries from prior tests pollute the next test's render tree.
- WHY LIVE FUNCTIONALITY (not dead code): removing the reset would leak
  template-only entries across render passes. Cannot be approach (c).

Approach decision: (b) host-hook, NOT (a) relocate.
- Approach (a) "relocate intra-manager.ts" would require moving the state
  (`__gxtTemplateOnlyRenderedSet`, `__gxtTemplateOnlyStack`) too, but those
  are read AND written at multiple intra-compile.ts sites (compile.ts:4988,
  9053-9059, 9065-9066, 9101-9102). Fragmenting the state across files is
  worse than keeping it co-located with its readers.
- Approach (b) host-hook fits cleanly: compile.ts publishes a
  `beforeBeginRenderPass` pre-hook via `installRenderPassPart`, and
  manager.ts's `beginRenderPass` dispatches it before its main bookkeeping.
  The compile.ts-local state stays in compile.ts; the bridge offers a typed
  injection point that replaces the runtime mutation pattern.

Hooks migrated (3 hooks, 1 reader file + 1 writer file + 1 pre-hook
contributor + 1 wrap-by-reassignment installer):
1. `__gxtBeginRenderPass` -> `renderPass.beginRenderPass`
   - Writer: manager.ts:2845 globalThis assignment removed; method seeded
     in `setGxtRenderer` install.
   - Reader: glimmer/lib/templates/root.ts:883 read via globalThis;
     converted to `getGxtRenderer()?.renderPass.beginRenderPass()`.
   - Pre-slice-8 wrap-by-reassignment: compile.ts:5108 `_g.__gxtBeginRenderPass = ...`
     REMOVED. The wrap's body becomes `_resetTemplateOnlyState` and is
     contributed as `beforeBeginRenderPass` via `installRenderPassPart`.
     manager.ts's `beginRenderPass` dispatches the registered pre-hook
     (try/catch to match the pre-slice-8 wrap behavior) before clearing
     `_templateRenderedInstances`.
2. `__gxtEndRenderPass` -> `renderPass.endRenderPass`
   - Writer: manager.ts:2846 globalThis assignment removed.
   - Reader: glimmer/lib/templates/root.ts:884 converted to
     `_renderPass?.endRenderPass()`.
3. `__gxtMarkTemplateRendered` -> `renderPass.markTemplateRendered`
   - Writer: manager.ts:2847 globalThis assignment removed.
   - Reader: glimmer/lib/templates/root.ts:885 converted to
     `_renderPass.markTemplateRendered(renderContext)` /
     `_renderPass.markTemplateRendered(model)`.

Also removed (consequence of the wrap replacement):
- The 4-step retry-install (`_installTemplateOnlyResetHook` +
  queueMicrotask + 2x setTimeout) at compile.ts:5121-5124 — the slice-6/7
  install-API pattern handles load-order independence via the deferred-
  install queue.
- The `__emberTOReset` idempotence brand — the install-API is naturally
  idempotent (calling `installRenderPassPart` twice merges with
  `Object.assign`; the function reference is the same).

NOT included in this slice (intentionally deferred):
- `__gxtIsInRenderPass` — boolean state flag co-written with
  `_isInRenderPass` inside `beginRenderPass`/`endRenderPass`. Cross-package
  readers in metal/tracked.ts treat it as a fast-check predicate on the hot
  path. Migrating to a method (`isInRenderPass()`) would require updating
  many call sites; the state-flag pattern is fundamentally different from
  the bridge's method-call shape. Same exclusion class as the deferred
  state-flag inventory (`__gxtRenderDepth`, `__gxtIsRendering`).
- `__gxtTemplateOnlyRenderedSet` / `__gxtTemplateOnlyStack` — written by
  compile.ts at multiple sites (9056-9059, 9065-9066, 9101-9102) and read
  by compile.ts (4988). Entirely intra-file; cleaner cleanup is module-
  local `const` conversion (same exclusion class as slice 3's
  `__gxtSuppressDirtyTagForDuringRebuild` and slice 4's
  `__gxtLastSafeStringResult`).

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green post-slice-8):
- smoke: 333/333 (16.5s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 8 slices migrated
covering 23 hooks across ~62 call sites + 8 orphan cleanups + 1 wrap-by-
reassignment installer eliminated. Bridge interface evolved THREE times
total (slice 6 `installCompilePipelinePart`; slice 7 `runtime` namespace +
`installRuntimePart`; slice 8 `renderPass` namespace + `installRenderPassPart`
+ host-hook pattern). All seven capabilities namespaces (destruction,
backtracking, viewUtils, format, compilePipeline, renderPass, runtime) are
stable.

Total non-comment globalThis `__gxt*` sites delta: 402 -> 399 (-3). Three
writers and three readers removed; the compile.ts `_g.__gxt*` wrap-reads
(notation differs, not counted in the simple grep) also removed.

The host-hook pattern (this slice) is a generalization useful for any
future "wrap-by-reassignment" exclusion: instead of mutating the published
function, contribute a typed pre-hook the bridge dispatches before the
main body. Future slices that previously needed to "relocate the wrap
intra-manager.ts" can use this pattern instead — e.g. `__gxtCheckBacktracking`'s
wrap at `_installTemplateOnlyRenderTreeInjection` (still excluded), or
`__gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom`'s wrap at `_wrapGxtRebuildViewTree`.

Suggested next slice (slice 9): reverse-flow hooks
(`__gxtIsRootComponent` / `__gxtUpdateRootTagValues`). Writers in
glimmer/lib/renderer.ts (OUTSIDE gxt-backend), readers in gxt-backend
(INSIDE). The bridge convention has the writer inside gxt-backend (the
renderer); migrating these inverts the bridge direction and is
structurally different from prior slices. Two options: (a) reverse-bridge
in glimmer/-internals (writer publishes, gxt-backend reads), or
(b) gxt-backend exposes a hook `registerRootComponentTagSink` that
glimmer's renderer calls back. Approach (b) keeps the gxt-backend bridge
as the single registration point, matching slices 1-8.

…rootComponent bridge (Cluster B slice 9)

Migrates `__gxtIsRootComponent` and `__gxtUpdateRootTagValues` to a new
`rootComponent` namespace on the typed gxt-bridge, and validates that the
slice-6/7/8 install-API pattern is **direction-agnostic** by applying it to
the FIRST reverse-flow slice: the writer lives in `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts`
(outside gxt-backend), the reader lives in `gxt-backend/compile.ts` (inside).

Bridge interface evolution (slice 9 — fourth API change since the pilot):
- New namespace `GxtRootComponentCapabilities` with two optional methods
  (`isRootComponent`, `updateRootTagValues`).
- New exported function `installRootComponentPart(part)` mirroring slices
  6/7/8 (`installCompilePipelinePart`, `installRuntimePart`,
  `installRenderPassPart`). Same deferred-queue + `Object.assign` merge
  semantics: contributions arriving BEFORE `setGxtRenderer` are buffered in
  `_pendingRootComponentParts`; contributions after are merged immediately.
- `setGxtRenderer` flushes `_pendingRootComponentParts` alongside the
  existing flushes.
- manager.ts seeds an empty `rootComponent: {}` so `Object.assign` has a
  target object regardless of which side loads first.

Reverse-flow direction is a property of the WRITER LOCATION, not the bridge
mechanics. renderer.ts already imports `getGxtRenderer` from the bridge
(slice 6 made it a `compilePipeline.registerArrayOwner` consumer), so the
import edge already exists; adding a second binding for
`installRootComponentPart` is a one-line change. The install-API is
direction-agnostic and supports both intra-gxt-backend writers (manager.ts
seeds; compile.ts contributes via slice 6/7/8) AND external-to-gxt-backend
writers (renderer.ts contributes via this slice) without modification.

Hooks migrated (2 hooks + 1 orphan-cleanup writer):
1. `__gxtIsRootComponent` -> `rootComponent.isRootComponent`
   - Writer: glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:1354 globalThis assignment removed;
     function declaration converted to a module-local `_gxtIsRootComponent`
     and contributed via `installRootComponentPart`.
   - Reader: compile.ts:3408 (in `__gxtTriggerReRender`'s nested-object
     detection) converted to `getGxtRenderer()?.rootComponent.isRootComponent`.
2. `__gxtUpdateRootTagValues` -> `rootComponent.updateRootTagValues`
   - Writer: glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:1375 globalThis assignment removed;
     function declaration converted to a module-local
     `_gxtUpdateRootTagValues` and contributed via `installRootComponentPart`.
   - Reader: compile.ts:5517 (in `__gxtSyncDomNow` Phase 1b) converted to
     `getGxtRenderer()?.rootComponent.updateRootTagValues`.

Orphan cleanup (slice 9, no migration):
- `__gxtCheckAllTagsCurrent` (glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:1398) — defined
  alongside `__gxtUpdateRootTagValues` but the only reference in source is a
  HISTORICAL comment at compile.ts:5522 explaining why the function is no
  longer used (the morph must always run when hadPendingSync is true).
  Zero live readers. Writer removed without bridge migration. Two debug-only
  tracing scripts in `scripts/debug-artifacts/` reference the global as
  one-off shims; those are not part of the build/test pipeline.

NOT included in this slice (intentionally deferred):
- `__gxtDirtyRootsAtSync` — the writer at the end of `_gxtUpdateRootTagValues`
  remains as a globalThis write. It's a piece of cross-call state (set in
  renderer.ts's `_gxtUpdateRootTagValues`, read in renderer.ts's
  `__gxtForceEmberRerender`). Both writer and reader are in the same file
  (renderer.ts), so the cleanup path is a module-local `let` in an
  intra-file refactor — same exclusion class as slice 3's
  `__gxtSuppressDirtyTagForDuringRebuild` and slice 4's
  `__gxtLastSafeStringResult`. Not bridge-shaped.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green post-slice-9):
- smoke: 333/333 (17.5s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 9 slices migrated
covering 25 hooks across ~64 call sites + 9 orphan cleanups (8 prior + 1
this slice). Bridge interface evolved FOUR times total (slices 6/7/8/9).
All eight capabilities namespaces (destruction, backtracking, viewUtils,
format, compilePipeline, renderPass, runtime, rootComponent) are stable.

Total non-comment globalThis `__gxt*` sites delta: 413 -> 411 (-2 by simple
grep). Real call sites removed: 5 (2 readers in compile.ts + 3 writers in
renderer.ts including the orphan). The grep delta is smaller than the real
delta because 4 of the removed sites were replaced in-place by comment lines
that still contain the `(globalThis as any).__gxt*` string (slice-9
migration notes for grep-tractability).

Empirical finding for slice 10+: the install-API pattern from slices 6/7/8
generalizes WITHOUT MODIFICATION to the reverse-flow direction. No new
infrastructure was needed — adding a fourth namespace + install fn followed
exactly the same template as slices 6/7. This suggests the bridge surface
area is now mature enough to host any future writer/reader combination
(intra-gxt-backend, gxt-backend-internal-to-external-consumer, OR
external-writer-to-gxt-backend-reader) using the install-API alone. The
"reverse-flow" framing was a pre-emptive design concern that turned out to
be a non-issue mechanically.

Suggested next slice (slice 10): with the host-hook pattern (slice 8) AND
the validated reverse-flow direction (this slice), the AVOID set shrinks
substantially. Strongest candidates:
- `__gxtCheckBacktracking` — compile.ts wrap-by-reassignment can be
  promoted to a `beforeCheckBacktracking` / `afterCheckBacktracking` host
  hook on the `backtracking` namespace. Multiple cross-package readers
  (metal/property_set.ts, metal/tracked.ts, glimmer-tracking.ts) — high
  impact.
- `__gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom` — same wrap-by-reassignment shape as
  `__gxtCheckBacktracking`; cross-package readers in views/lib/system/utils.ts.
- `__gxtTriggerReRender` — multiple wrap sites in compile.ts; host-hook
  chain could replace each wrap with a typed `before` / `after` contribution.
  Complex but unblocked.

…g bridge + host-hook (Cluster B slice 10)

Migrates `__gxtCheckBacktracking` to the existing `backtracking` namespace on
the typed gxt-bridge, and resolves the wrap-by-reassignment exclusion that
gated this slice in slices 2/3/5/6/7 by introducing a typed message-transform
**host-hook** (`transformBacktrackingMessage`) installed via a new
`installBacktrackingPart` API. Second usage of the slice-8 host-hook pattern,
validating its generality.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 10 — fifth API change since the pilot):
- `GxtBacktrackingCapabilities` extended with two optional members:
  `checkBacktracking?(target, key)` (seeded by manager.ts's initial
  `setGxtRenderer`) and `transformBacktrackingMessage?(msg): string` (host
  hook contributed by compile.ts via `installBacktrackingPart`).
- New exported function `installBacktrackingPart(part)` mirroring
  `installRenderPassPart` (slice 8). Same deferred-queue + `Object.assign`
  merge semantics.
- `setGxtRenderer` flushes `_pendingBacktrackingParts` alongside the existing
  flushes.

Wrap audit (compile.ts:5041 `_installTemplateOnlyRenderTreeInjection`):
- WHAT: reassigned `globalThis.__gxtCheckBacktracking` to a wrapper that, for
  the duration of the call, installed a getter on `__emberAssertFn` that
  returned a wrapped assert applying `_rebuildBacktrackingMsgWithTemplateOnly`
  to the message before invoking the inner assert. Idempotent via
  `__gxtAssertInjected` brand; retry-installed across microtask +
  setTimeout(0) + setTimeout(50) to handle load-order ambiguity.
- WHY: backtracking-assertion render trees miss template-only components
  (no instance => not in parentView chain). The injection rebuilds the tree
  with template-only names captured in `__gxtTemplateOnlyRenderedSet`.
- DEV/PROD: DEV-only — every cross-package reader of `__gxtCheckBacktracking`
  is `DEBUG`-guarded (`metal/property_set.ts`, `metal/tracked.ts`). The
  wrap exclusively enriches the dev-only assertion message.
- CLOSURES: `_rebuildBacktrackingMsgWithTemplateOnly` reads
  `__gxtTemplateOnlyRenderedSet` (compile.ts-local globalThis state).

Approach decision: (b) host-hook (message transformer), NOT (a) relocate.
- Approach (a) "relocate intra-manager.ts" would require moving
  `__gxtTemplateOnlyRenderedSet` + the template-only kebabName tracking
  logic at compile.ts:9006-9101 — but that state is read+written at
  multiple intra-compile.ts sites (the `_rebuildBacktrackingMsgWithTemplateOnly`
  reader at L4990, plus the writer sites in the $_tag thunk at L9006+).
  Fragmenting the state is worse than the host-hook indirection.
- Approach (b) host-hook fits cleanly: compile.ts publishes
  `transformBacktrackingMessage` via `installBacktrackingPart`; manager.ts's
  `checkBacktracking` applies the registered transformer to the assembled
  message immediately before dispatching to `_assertFn`. No runtime mutation,
  no `__emberAssertFn` getter override, no retry loop.

Note on shape difference from slice 8: slice 8 used a `before*` hook (runs
before the main body, no return value). Slice 10 uses a TRANSFORMER hook
(takes the message, returns a possibly-modified message). The bridge supports
both — they're just method signatures on the namespace. The mechanical
pattern (deferred-queue install + `Object.assign` merge) is identical.

Hooks migrated (1 hook + 1 wrap-by-reassignment installer eliminated):
1. `__gxtCheckBacktracking` -> `backtracking.checkBacktracking`
   - Writer: manager.ts:2868 globalThis assignment converted to an exported
     `export function checkBacktracking(...)` definition; method seeded in
     `setGxtRenderer({ backtracking: { ..., checkBacktracking } })`.
   - Cross-package readers (3 files):
     * `gxt-backend/glimmer-tracking.ts:40` (trackedSet for @Tracked decorator)
       converted to `getGxtRenderer()?.backtracking.checkBacktracking?.(this, key)`.
     * `metal/property_set.ts:77` (set() body, DEBUG-guarded) converted to
       same pattern; new import edge from
       `@ember/-internals/metal/lib/property_set.ts` to
       `@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge`.
     * `metal/tracked.ts:248` (@Tracked descriptor set(), DEBUG-guarded)
       converted to same pattern; new import edge mirrors property_set.ts.
   - Pre-slice-10 wrap-by-reassignment: compile.ts:5041-5102 REMOVED
     (`_installTemplateOnlyRenderTreeInjection` function + the 4-step retry-
     install at L5099-5102: `_installTemplateOnlyRenderTreeInjection()` +
     `queueMicrotask(_installTemplateOnlyRenderTreeInjection)` +
     `setTimeout(_installTemplateOnlyRenderTreeInjection, 0)` +
     `setTimeout(_installTemplateOnlyRenderTreeInjection, 50)`). The wrap's
     message-rewrite body is now contributed as
     `transformBacktrackingMessage: _rebuildBacktrackingMsgWithTemplateOnly`
     via `installBacktrackingPart` at the bottom of compile.ts, alongside the
     existing slice-6 `installCompilePipelinePart` and slice-8
     `installRenderPassPart` calls.

Also removed (consequence of the wrap replacement):
- The 4-step retry-install at compile.ts:5099-5102 — the install-API pattern
  handles load-order independence via the deferred-install queue
  (`_pendingBacktrackingParts`), same as slice 8 removed
  `_installTemplateOnlyResetHook`'s 4-step retry.
- The `__gxtAssertInjected` idempotence brand — the install-API is naturally
  idempotent (calling `installBacktrackingPart` twice merges with
  `Object.assign`; the function reference is the same).
- The per-call `Object.defineProperty(__emberAssertFn, { get: ... })` override
  + restore dance — manager.ts applies the message transform directly in its
  own body, so no global-state mutation is needed.

NOT included in this slice (out of scope):
- `__gxtAssertNotResolvedHelperAsNamedArg` — code-generation hook (emitted-
  code string in compile.ts:12525); requires updating the code generator.
- `__gxtDebugCompile` — read-only console toggle a developer flips manually.

- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 10 slices migrated
covering 26 hooks across ~67 call sites + 9 orphan cleanups + 2 wrap-by-
reassignment installers eliminated (slice 8: render-pass reset; slice 10:
template-only render-tree injection). Bridge interface evolved FIVE times
total (slices 6/7/8/9/10). All 8 capabilities namespaces (destruction,
backtracking, viewUtils, format, compilePipeline, renderPass, runtime,
rootComponent) are stable.

The host-hook pattern (introduced in slice 8) is now used TWICE
(`beforeBeginRenderPass`, `transformBacktrackingMessage`) — validating that
the pattern generalizes across hook shapes (before-hook vs. transformer-hook)
and across namespaces (renderPass vs. backtracking). Future wrap-by-
reassignment exclusions (e.g. `__gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom`,
`__gxtTriggerReRender`, `__gxtSyncAllWrappers`, `__gxtClearInstancePools`)
follow the same template.

Suggested next slice (slice 11): `__gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom` — host-hook
pattern unblocks the wrap at compile.ts's `_wrapGxtRebuildViewTree`. Writer
in manager.ts (intra-gxt-backend), cross-package reader in
`views/lib/system/utils.ts` (`getRootViews`/`getChildViews`). Promote to
`viewUtils.rebuildViewTreeFromDom` (existing namespace from slice 3) + add
`beforeRebuildViewTreeFromDom` host hook for compile.ts's wrap body.
Eliminates the retry-interval install (install-API is naturally idempotent,
like slices 8 and 10 eliminated their respective retry-install dances).

…ils bridge + after-hook (Cluster B slice 11)

Migrates `__gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom` to the existing `viewUtils` namespace
(introduced in slice 3) on the typed gxt-bridge, and resolves the
wrap-by-reassignment exclusion that gated this slice in slices 3/5/6/7 by
introducing a typed AFTER host-hook (`afterRebuildViewTreeFromDom`) installed
via a new `installViewUtilsPart` API. Third usage of the slice-8 host-hook
pattern, validating its generality across THREE distinct hook shapes:
before-hook (slice 8), transformer-hook (slice 10), after-hook (slice 11).

Bridge interface evolution (slice 11 — sixth API change since the pilot):
- `GxtViewUtilsCapabilities` extended with two optional members:
  `rebuildViewTreeFromDom?(explicitRegistry)` (seeded by manager.ts's initial
  `setGxtRenderer`) and `afterRebuildViewTreeFromDom?(explicitRegistry)`
  (host hook contributed by compile.ts via `installViewUtilsPart`).
- New exported function `installViewUtilsPart(part)` mirroring
  `installBacktrackingPart` (slice 10) and `installRenderPassPart` (slice 8).
  Same deferred-queue + `Object.assign` merge semantics.
- `setGxtRenderer` flushes `_pendingViewUtilsParts` alongside the existing
  flushes.

Wrap audit (compile.ts:4399 `_wrapGxtRebuildViewTree`):
- WHAT: reassigned `globalThis.__gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom` to a wrapper that
  ran `orig.apply(this, args)` then performed two follow-up actions: (a) reset
  view-registry CHILD_VIEW_IDS for wrappers in `_wrapperIfUserFalse` whose
  current `IfCondition.prevComponent` is empty (i.e., genuinely toggled false),
  with stale-entry cleanup via the `_wrapperIfCondLookup` cross-check; and
  (b) drained the in-element deferred-render queue via
  `globalThis.__gxtInElementDrainDeferred`. Idempotent via
  `__emberIfRebuildPatched` brand; retry-installed across immediate +
  queueMicrotask + setInterval(50ms, 60 attempts) to handle load-order
  ambiguity with manager.ts.
- WHY: the rebuild repopulates CHILD_VIEW_IDS from live DOM ancestry, but
  GXT's `destroyBranchSync` is a no-op for yield-only true branches (the
  inner DOM still contains the yielded nodes because prevComponent was empty),
  so getChildViews(rootWrapper) returns stale children unless we reset them
  here. View-registry-only cleanup — no DOM mutation, so a subsequent
  toggle-back-to-true still surfaces the same DOM content. The in-element
  drain piggybacks on this hook because flushAfterInsertQueue is the earliest
  synchronous point where the parent fragment is committed to the live document.
- DEV/PROD: works in both. Cross-package readers in
  `views/lib/system/utils.ts` (getRootViews/getChildViews) are not DEBUG-guarded
  (they're production paths). manager.ts's `_gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom` body
  also runs in prod (no DEBUG gate).
- CLOSURES: `_afterRebuildViewTreeFromDom` reads `_wrapperIfUserFalse` (Set),
  `_wrapperIfCondLookup` (Map), `_emberGetElementView`, `_emberInitChildViews`
  — all top-level in compile.ts. The `_drainInElementDeferQueue` reference is
  accessed via `globalThis.__gxtInElementDrainDeferred` because the symbol is
  scoped to a block earlier in compile.ts (not at module scope); this is a
  mechanical-fidelity preserve and a future-slice cleanup target.

Approach decision: (b) host-hook (after hook), NOT (a) relocate.
- Approach (a) "relocate intra-manager.ts" would require moving
  `_wrapperIfUserFalse`, `_wrapperIfCondLookup`, and the `IfCondition.prevComponent`
  inspection logic from compile.ts. Those Sets are read+written at multiple
  intra-compile.ts sites (the ifWatcher add/delete pairs at compile.ts:4322-4331)
  — fragmenting the state is worse than the host-hook indirection.
- Approach (b) host-hook fits cleanly: compile.ts publishes
  `afterRebuildViewTreeFromDom` via `installViewUtilsPart`; manager.ts's
  `_gxtBridgeRebuildViewTreeFromDom` adapter dispatches the registered hook
  AFTER its own rebuild body completes. No runtime mutation, no retry loop.

Note on shape difference from slices 8 and 10: slice 8 uses a `before*` hook
(runs before the main body), slice 10 uses a TRANSFORMER hook (takes a message,
returns a possibly-modified message), and slice 11 uses an `after*` hook (runs
after the main body, no return value). The bridge supports all three — they're
just method signatures on the namespace. The mechanical pattern (deferred-queue
install + `Object.assign` merge) is identical across all three.

Hooks migrated (1 hook + 1 wrap-by-reassignment installer eliminated):
1. `__gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom` -> `viewUtils.rebuildViewTreeFromDom`
   - Writer: manager.ts already had `_gxtRebuildViewTreeFromDom` extracted as
     a top-level function (no longer assigned to globalThis). Bridge slot
     seeded with `_gxtBridgeRebuildViewTreeFromDom` adapter which calls the
     original function then dispatches the registered after-hook via
     `getGxtRenderer()?.viewUtils.afterRebuildViewTreeFromDom`.
   - Cross-package readers (4 sites):
     * `views/lib/system/utils.ts:42` (`getRootViews`) — new import edge
       from `@ember/-internals/views/lib/system/utils.ts` to
       `@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge` (third cross-package edge
       after slice 3's `glimmer/lib/templates/outlet.ts` and slice 9's
       `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts` / `glimmer/index.ts` / `glimmer/lib/templates/root.ts`).
     * `views/lib/system/utils.ts:124` (`getChildViews`) — same new import edge.
     * `gxt-backend/compile.ts:5519` (`__gxtSyncDomNow` Phase 2c2) — intra-package.
     * `gxt-backend/manager.ts:3104` (`flushAfterInsertQueue` tail) — intra-package.
   - Pre-slice-11 wrap-by-reassignment: compile.ts:4399-4523 REMOVED
     (`_wrapGxtRebuildViewTree` function + the 3-step retry-install at
     L4509-4523: immediate call + `queueMicrotask` + `setInterval(50ms, 60
     attempts)`). The wrap's body is now contributed as
     `afterRebuildViewTreeFromDom: _afterRebuildViewTreeFromDom` via
     `installViewUtilsPart` at the bottom of compile.ts, alongside the
     existing slice-6 `installCompilePipelinePart`, slice-8
     `installRenderPassPart`, and slice-10 `installBacktrackingPart` calls.

Also removed (consequence of the wrap replacement):
- The 3-step retry-install at compile.ts:4509-4523 — the install-API pattern
  handles load-order independence via the deferred-install queue
  (`_pendingViewUtilsParts`), same as slices 8 and 10 removed their respective
  retry-install dances.
- The `__emberIfRebuildPatched` idempotence brand — the install-API is
  naturally idempotent (calling `installViewUtilsPart` twice merges with
  `Object.assign`; the function reference is the same).
- The dead `toBool` variable previously captured at the top of the wrap body
  (read `g2.__gxtToBool || Boolean` but never referenced thereafter).

NOT included in this slice (out of scope):
- `__gxtSuppressDirtyTagForDuringRebuild` — boolean state flag whose reads
  and writes are entirely intra-manager.ts. State-flag pattern, not a
  method-call pattern; cleaner as a module-local `let` in a future intra-file
  refactor (same exclusion class as slice 3's
  `__gxtSuppressDirtyTagForDuringRebuild` deferral and slice 4's
  `__gxtLastSafeStringResult` exclusion).
- `__gxtInElementDrainDeferred` — globalThis read remains inside the
  after-hook body because `_drainInElementDeferQueue` is scoped to a block
  inside compile.ts (not at module scope). Mechanical-fidelity preserve;
  future intra-compile.ts cleanup target (hoist the const out of the block).

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 11 slices migrated
covering 27 hooks across ~71 call sites + 9 orphan cleanups + 3 wrap-by-
reassignment installers eliminated (slice 8: render-pass reset; slice 10:
template-only render-tree injection; slice 11: rebuild-view-tree wrap).
Bridge interface evolved SIX times total (slices 6/7/8/9/10/11). All 8
capabilities namespaces (destruction, backtracking, viewUtils, format,
compilePipeline, renderPass, runtime, rootComponent) are stable.

The host-hook pattern (introduced in slice 8) is now used THREE TIMES across
THREE DISTINCT shapes: `beforeBeginRenderPass` (slice 8, before-hook),
`transformBacktrackingMessage` (slice 10, transformer-hook), and
`afterRebuildViewTreeFromDom` (slice 11, after-hook). All three use the same
install-API + deferred-queue + `Object.assign` mechanical pattern. Future
wrap-by-reassignment exclusions (`__gxtTriggerReRender`, `__gxtSyncAllWrappers`,
`__gxtClearInstancePools`) follow the same template.

Suggested next slice (slice 12): `__gxtSyncAllWrappers` — second wrap-by-
reassignment in compile.ts (L5155 according to slice 6's exclusion note).
Audit the wrap (reassignment installer? closures over compile.ts state?),
then choose either (a) relocate intra-manager.ts if the closures are
trivially movable, or (b) host-hook (likely before/after, depending on
where the wrap inserts its body). If host-hook: add to a relevant existing
namespace (compilePipeline or renderPass) or open a new sync-pipeline
namespace if the call-site graph is clean. Mechanical template is now
fully validated by slices 8 / 10 / 11.

…ne bridge + relocate (Cluster B slice 12)

Migrates `__gxtSyncAllWrappers` to the existing `compilePipeline` namespace
on the typed gxt-bridge, and resolves the wrap-by-reassignment exclusion
that gated this slice in slices 3/5/6/7 by RELOCATING the wrap bodies into
the canonical function definition (slice-3 relocation pattern). This is the
FIRST wrap-by-reassignment to use relocation instead of the slice-8/10/11
host-hook pattern — five wrap-by-reassignment installer sites eliminated
in a single slice.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 12 — seventh API change since the pilot):
- `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with one required member:
  `syncAllWrappers()` (seeded by manager.ts's initial `setGxtRenderer` with
  the canonical `_gxtSyncAllWrappers`).
- No new install API needed (no host-hook contributed from compile.ts).

Wrap audit (5 sites eliminated):
1. compile.ts:5068-5128 `_installSyncAllFiredMarker` — wrap-by-reassignment
   that branded the global with `__emberMarkFired`, captured the original,
   reinstalled a wrapper that set `__gxtSyncAllInFlightPass`, pre-wrapped
   pool-instance `trigger`s to stamp `__gxtSyncAllFiredPassId` on update
   hooks, ran the original, then cleared in-flight pass. Retry-installed
   immediate + via queueMicrotask for load-order ambiguity with manager.ts.
2. compile.ts:5129-5206 defineProperty trap on
   `globalThis.__gxtSyncAllWrappers` — re-wrapped on every subsequent
   reassignment so any later writer (e.g. ember-gxt-wrappers.ts) inherited
   the marker behavior. Wrap body identical to #1 but used
   `__gxtSyncAllInFlightCycle` / `__gxtSyncAllFiredCycleId` /
   `__gxtHooksFiredCycleId` markers driven by `__gxtSyncCycleId` (rather
   than the pass-id pair).
3. ember-gxt-wrappers.ts:1872 (null dynamic-component path) — replaced
   the global with a wrapper that ran the original then dispatched
   `g.__dcChangeListeners`.
4. ember-gxt-wrappers.ts:2043 (curried dynamic-component path) — same
   wrap-by-reassignment, sharing the `__dcChangeListeners` Set.
5. ember-gxt-wrappers.ts:2321 (string dynamic-component path) — same
   wrap-by-reassignment, sharing the same Set.

Approach decision: (a) RELOCATE, NOT (b) host-hook.
- All five wraps reference ONLY globalThis-shared state:
  `__gxtAllPoolArrays` (written manager.ts:1038),
  `__gxtSyncCycleId` (written compile.ts:5232),
  `__gxtSyncAllInFlightCycle` / `__gxtSyncAllInFlightPass` (set+read by the
  wraps themselves), `__dcChangeListeners` (a Set on globalThis populated
  by ember-gxt-wrappers.ts add-calls). No compile.ts or ember-gxt-wrappers.ts
  module-local closure state is captured — both `_UPDATE_HOOKS_FOR_MARK`
  Sets and the `wrapTrigger` helper close over nothing that doesn't already
  live on globalThis.
- This is precisely the precondition for the slice-3 relocation template:
  fold the wrap body into the canonical function definition, eliminate the
  installer dance entirely. Contrast with slices 8/10/11 where the wrap
  bodies closed over `_wrapperIfUserFalse` / `_templateOnlyRenderedSet` /
  `_dynamicCompTemplates` (compile.ts module-local state) that couldn't
  trivially relocate; those slices needed the host-hook indirection.
- Both halves of slice 12's wrap (compile.ts marker install +
  ember-gxt-wrappers.ts DC dispatch) compose into a single around-shape
  body: BEFORE = set in-flight state, pre-wrap pool triggers; MAIN = the
  pre-slice-12 canonical sync-all body; AFTER = clear in-flight state,
  dispatch DC change listeners.

Hooks migrated (1 hook + 5 wrap-by-reassignment installers eliminated):
1. `__gxtSyncAllWrappers` -> `compilePipeline.syncAllWrappers`
   - Writer: manager.ts:3589 line `(globalThis as any).__gxtSyncAllWrappers =
     function () { ... }` reshaped as a named function `_gxtSyncAllWrappers`
     wrapping `_gxtSyncAllWrappersBody` (the pre-slice-12 canonical body
     extracted unchanged). The wrap's BEFORE / AFTER logic is folded into
     `_gxtSyncAllWrappers` directly:
     * BEFORE: set `__gxtSyncAllInFlightPass = __gxtSyncCycleId || 0` and
       `__gxtSyncAllInFlightCycle = __gxtSyncCycleId || 0`; iterate
       `__gxtAllPoolArrays` and call `_wrapInstanceTriggerForSyncAllMark`
       on each pool entry's instance.
     * AFTER (try/finally): clear both in-flight markers to 0; dispatch
       all `__dcChangeListeners` callbacks (try/catch each, ignore).
   - The trigger-wrap helper `_wrapInstanceTriggerForSyncAllMark` stamps
     `__gxtSyncAllFiredPassId` / `__gxtSyncAllFiredCycleId` /
     `__gxtHooksFiredCycleId` on the instance when an update hook (one of
     `didUpdateAttrs` / `didReceiveAttrs` / `willUpdate` / `willRender`)
     fires during the body, preserving pre-slice-12 marker semantics.
   - Cross-package readers (1 site, intra-package):
     * `gxt-backend/compile.ts:5302` (`__gxtSyncDomNow` Phase 1) — migrated
       to `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.syncAllWrappers?.()`.
   - Pre-slice-12 sites REMOVED:
     * compile.ts:5068-5206 — `_installSyncAllFiredMarker` function (60
       lines) + immediate-install call + queueMicrotask retry-install +
       defineProperty trap (76 lines). Total 138 lines removed; 16 lines
       of slice-12 documentation comment replace.
     * ember-gxt-wrappers.ts:1868-1883, 2039-2054, 2317-2331 — three inline
       wrap-by-reassignment installer blocks (16 lines each × 3 = 48 lines
       removed). Replaced with bare `if (!g.__dcChangeListeners)
       g.__dcChangeListeners = new Set();` Set-init guards (3 lines each).
     * The `__emberMarkFired` brand and the entire idempotence dance are
       gone — the bridge slot + named function pattern is naturally
       idempotent.

Dual exposure (RETAINED): `(globalThis as any).__gxtSyncAllWrappers =
_gxtSyncAllWrappers` is preserved alongside the bridge install. Same
pattern as slice 6's `compileTemplate` and `resetIntervalBudget`: the
function name is a documented integration surface and may have readers
outside the source tree. A future slice can remove the dual exposure once
all readers route through the bridge.

NOT included in this slice (out of scope):
- `__dcChangeListeners` Set itself remains a globalThis-shared semaphore
  (writers in ember-gxt-wrappers.ts, reader folded into manager.ts via
  this slice). Migrating it to a typed bridge surface (e.g.
  `addDynamicComponentListener(fn) -> off`) is a separate cleanup; the
  Set's cross-test clearing at compile.ts:5800-5801 and the
  `__dcStringListenerCount` counter readers at compile.ts:5317 +
  manager.ts:3713 would all migrate together. Defer to a future slice.
- `__gxtClearInstancePools` — third wrap-by-reassignment (manager.ts:9249
  per slice 6 note). Suggested for slice 13 — likely intra-manager.ts
  closure-friendly (same-file writer + reader), candidate for either
  another relocation or host-hook depending on closure inventory.
- `__gxtTriggerReRender` — multi-contributor wrap (DEFERRED per slice 10's
  candidate ranking).

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green post-slice-12):
- smoke: 333/333 (18.8s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 12 slices migrated
covering 28 hooks across ~72 call sites + 9 orphan cleanups + 8
wrap-by-reassignment installers eliminated (slice 8: render-pass reset;
slice 10: template-only render-tree injection; slice 11: rebuild-view-tree
wrap; slice 12: FIVE installers around sync-all-wrappers — compile.ts
marker-install + defineProperty trap + three ember-gxt-wrappers.ts DC
listener inline installers). Bridge interface evolved SEVEN times total
(slices 6/7/8/9/10/11/12). All 8 capabilities namespaces (destruction,
backtracking, viewUtils, format, compilePipeline, renderPass, runtime,
rootComponent) remain stable.

Slice 12 validates a FOURTH migration shape on the install-API pattern:
SLICE 3 = pure relocation (state moves with the function), SLICE 8 =
host-hook-before, SLICE 10 = host-hook-transformer, SLICE 11 = host-hook-
after, SLICE 12 = wrap-relocation (the wrap bodies fold into the canonical
function definition WITHOUT a host-hook indirection because all referenced
state is globalThis-shared). The pattern inventory now covers every
combination of "intra-file closure vs globalThis state" and "single
contributor vs multiple contributors" we've encountered in Cluster B.

Suggested next slice (slice 13): `__gxtClearInstancePools` —
intra-manager.ts wrap-by-reassignment per slice 6 note at manager.ts:9249.
Audit: writer + reader presumably both in manager.ts, so likely
relocation-friendly without bridge migration at all — but if the bridge
surface is desired for parity with slice 12 (any external readers exist),
extend `compilePipeline` with `clearInstancePools()`. Mechanical template
is the slice-3/slice-12 relocation pattern (no host-hook needed).

…eline bridge + relocate (Cluster B slice 13)

Migrates `__gxtClearInstancePools` to `compilePipeline.clearInstancePools`
on the typed gxt-bridge, and resolves the two-stage wrap-by-reassignment
pattern (initial install at manager.ts:1109 + wrap at manager.ts:9461) via
intra-file relocation. SECOND wrap-by-reassignment slice to use relocation
after slice 12's `syncAllWrappers`; even cleaner because both halves
closed over manager.ts module-local state only (no globalThis crossing).

Bridge interface evolution (slice 13 — eighth API change since the pilot):
- `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with one required member:
  `clearInstancePools()` (seeded by manager.ts's initial `setGxtRenderer`
  with the canonical `_gxtClearInstancePools`).
- No new install API needed (no host-hook contributed from compile.ts).

Wrap audit (2 sites eliminated):
1. manager.ts:1109 initial install — plain assignment of an anonymous
   function clearing `_allPoolArrays`.
2. manager.ts:9461 wrap-by-reassignment — captured the original via
   `_origClearPools`, reinstalled an anonymous function that called the
   original then additionally cleared `_customManagedPool` and
   `_customManagedInstances`.

Approach decision: (a) RELOCATE, NOT (b) host-hook.
- Both halves of the wrap close over ONLY manager.ts module-local state:
  `_allPoolArrays` (1037), `_customManagedPool` (9414), and
  `_customManagedInstances` (660). No globalThis-shared state, no
  cross-file closures. This is the cleanest relocation precondition seen
  so far in Cluster B — slice 12 had to thread globalThis-shared
  semaphores through its wrap, but slice 13's relocation is purely
  intra-file.
- Slice-3 relocation template applies directly: fold the second half
  into the canonical function body and drop the wrap-by-reassignment
  installer. Forward-reference of `_customManagedPool` /
  `_customManagedInstances` (both declared later in the file) is safe
  because `_gxtClearInstancePools` is a test-teardown hook — never
  invoked during module init, so by the time the function fires, both
  `const` bindings have been initialized hundreds of lines earlier.

Hooks migrated (1 hook + 1 wrap-by-reassignment installer eliminated):
1. `__gxtClearInstancePools` -> `compilePipeline.clearInstancePools`
   - Writer: manager.ts:1109 line replaced with a named function
     `_gxtClearInstancePools` that combines BOTH halves of the
     pre-slice-13 wrap:
     * Clear all pools in `_allPoolArrays`, then clear the set itself.
     * Clear `_customManagedPool` Map.
     * Truncate `_customManagedInstances` array.
   - Cross-package readers (1 site, intra-package):
     * `gxt-backend/compile.ts:5645` (`__gxtSyncDomNow` test teardown) —
       migrated to `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.clearInstancePools?.()`.
   - Pre-slice-13 sites REMOVED:
     * manager.ts:9460-9466 — the `const _origClearPools = ...` capture
       plus the wrap-by-reassignment block (7 lines removed; 4-line
       slice-13 marker comment in place).

Dual exposure (RETAINED): `(globalThis as any).__gxtClearInstancePools =
_gxtClearInstancePools` is preserved alongside the bridge install. Same
pattern as slice 6's `compileTemplate` / `resetIntervalBudget` and slice
12's `syncAllWrappers`: test helpers in `tests/helpers/test-helpers.js`
historically reset pools via globalThis. A future slice can remove the
dual exposure once those readers route through the bridge.

NOT included in this slice (out of scope):
- `__dcChangeListeners` Set itself remains a globalThis-shared semaphore
  (writers in ember-gxt-wrappers.ts, reader folded into manager.ts by
  slice 12's `_gxtSyncAllWrappers`). Migrating it to a typed bridge
  surface (e.g. `addDynamicComponentListener(fn) -> off`) is the natural
  next slice — see "Suggested next slice" below.
- `__gxtTriggerReRender` — multi-contributor wrap (DEFERRED per slice 10
  candidate ranking).

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green post-slice-13):
- smoke: 333/333 (17.2s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 13 slices migrated
covering 29 hooks across ~73 call sites + 9 orphan cleanups + 9
wrap-by-reassignment installers eliminated (slice 12's five sync-all
installers + slice 13's two clear-pools installers + slices 8/10/11
single-installer wraps). Bridge interface evolved EIGHT times total
(slices 6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13). All 8 capabilities namespaces remain
stable.

Slice 13 reinforces the relocation pattern's primacy: when a
wrap-by-reassignment's bodies reference no cross-file closures, the
slice-3 relocation collapses to a single intra-file function with zero
indirection — strictly cleaner than the host-hook pattern needed for
slices 8/10/11.

Suggested next slice (slice 14): `__dcChangeListeners` Set migration to
a typed bridge surface. Writers: ember-gxt-wrappers.ts (three `g.__dcChangeListeners.add(cb)` sites at L1868 / L2039 / L2317 — left half-migrated by slice 12). Reader: folded into manager.ts's
`_gxtSyncAllWrappers` (slice 12). Shape: an `addDynamicComponentListener(fn) -> off` method on the bridge plus a separate `clearDynamicComponentListeners()` (called from compile.ts's `__gxtSyncDomNow` Phase 2 teardown at L5800-5801). Migrating it cleans up the Set-semaphore semantics that slice 12 explicitly deferred. Plus the `__dcStringListenerCount` counter readers at compile.ts:5317 + manager.ts:3713 would migrate alongside.

…compilePipeline bridge (Cluster B slice 14)

Completes the half-migrated leftover from slice 12: the dynamic-component
change-listener Set (`__dcChangeListeners`) and its string-path counter
(`__dcStringListenerCount`) move from globalThis-shared state to
manager.ts module-local state, exposed as three new methods on
`compilePipeline`. Closes the last cross-file globalThis Set in the
slice-12 family.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 14 — ninth API change since the pilot):
- `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with three required members:
  * `addDynamicComponentListener(fn, options?: { stringPath?: boolean })`
    -> `() => void` (off-fn). The `stringPath` option bumps the counter
    consulted by `hasStringDynamicComponentListeners()`.
  * `clearDynamicComponentListeners()` — clears both Set + counter in
    lockstep.
  * `hasStringDynamicComponentListeners(): boolean` — derived getter over
    the manager.ts module-local counter.
- No new install API needed (manager.ts seeds all three via the initial
  `setGxtRenderer` call; no host-hook is contributed from outside
  manager.ts).

Site audit (per slice 12 + 13 deferred notes — all confirmed):
1. Three writer sites in `ember-gxt-wrappers.ts`:
   - L1874-1877 (null path): `_nullListener` added via `add(_nullListener)`.
   - L2034-2037 (curried path): `_dcChangeListener` added.
   - L2302-2307 (string path): `_dcChangeListener` added + counter bumped.
2. Three cleanup sites in same file (L1881 / L2042 / L2312-2313): inline
   `delete(...)` plus the string-path counter decrement at L2313.
3. One Set reader: the dispatch in manager.ts's `_gxtSyncAllWrappers`
   after-body (L3712-3721, folded by slice 12).
4. Two counter readers:
   - manager.ts:3857 — arg-cell update path triggers
     `notifyPropertyChange` when string-path listeners are present.
   - compile.ts:5202 — Phase 1 morph-skip when string-path listeners are
     present.
5. One cross-test clear: compile.ts:5684-5685 plus the counter reset at
   compile.ts:5692.

No external readers (the Set + counter were intra-gxt-backend only —
confirmed by exhaustive grep across packages and tests/HTML), so dual
exposure is NOT retained. The globalThis `__dcChangeListeners` /
`__dcStringListenerCount` keys are removed outright (no orphan reader risk).

Hooks migrated (1 Set + 1 counter -> 3 bridge methods):
1. `__dcChangeListeners` Set + `__dcStringListenerCount` counter ->
   `compilePipeline.addDynamicComponentListener` /
   `clearDynamicComponentListeners` /
   `hasStringDynamicComponentListeners`.
   - manager.ts module-local: `const _dcChangeListeners = new Set<_DcListener>()`
     and `let _dcStringListenerCount = 0`. The three named functions
     `_gxtAddDynamicComponentListener` / `_gxtClearDynamicComponentListeners` /
     `_gxtHasStringDynamicComponentListeners` are seeded into the bridge
     via `setGxtRenderer` at file EOF.
   - The Set dispatch in `_gxtSyncAllWrappers` after-body now iterates the
     module-local Set directly (no globalThis read).
   - The counter check in manager.ts:3857 (notifyPropertyChange dispatch
     after arg-cell updates) now calls `_gxtHasStringDynamicComponentListeners()`.
   - compile.ts:5202's morph-skip check migrates to
     `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.hasStringDynamicComponentListeners?.()`.
   - compile.ts:5684-5692's cross-test clear block (Set `.clear()` +
     counter reset) collapses into a single
     `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.clearDynamicComponentListeners?.()`
     call.
   - The three ember-gxt-wrappers.ts writer sites are replaced with a
     single `addDynamicComponentListener(fn, ...)` call returning an off-fn
     used by the existing cleanup paths. The string-path site passes
     `{ stringPath: true }` so the counter increments/decrements stay in
     lockstep with the Set add/delete inside a single bridge surface.

Approach decision: (a) module-local + bridge methods, NOT (b) host-hook
or (c) relocation. The Set + counter are pure state; there is no wrap-by-
reassignment to break apart. The natural shape is "registry + register-fn
+ clear-fn + size-fn" — mechanically identical to slice 6's compile-side
state-bridging, but flipped (the state lives in manager.ts, not compile.ts,
because the dispatch already lives in manager.ts's `_gxtSyncAllWrappers`).

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green post-slice-14):
- smoke: 333/333 (16.8s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 14 slices migrated
covering 30 hooks (29 -> 30: the Set + counter count as a single logical
hook expressed as 3 bridge methods) across ~76 call sites + 9 orphan
cleanups + 9 wrap-by-reassignment installers eliminated (cumulative).
Bridge interface evolved NINE times total (slices 6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14).
All 8 capabilities namespaces remain stable.

Slice 14 validates a SIXTH migration shape on the bridge pattern: pure
state migration with a registry-style API (register-fn returning off-fn +
clear-fn + size-fn). Previous shapes: slice 3 = relocation, slice 6/7/9 =
install-API contribution, slice 8/10/11 = host-hook, slice 12/13 = wrap-
relocation. Slice 14's shape is the first to expose mutable state behind
typed methods without any host-hook or relocation pattern.

Suggested next slice (slice 15): `__gxtTriggerReRender` — multi-contributor
wrap (DEFERRED since slice 10 candidate ranking). The function is defined
in compile.ts; manager.ts wraps it at runtime to record dirtied nested
objects (`_dirtiedNestedObjectsForHooks` Set, an intra-manager.ts closure).
Audit needed: count of additional wrappers (beyond manager.ts's),
contributor location for each, and closure inventory. If manager.ts is the
only wrap contributor, this is a clean host-hook migration (slice 8/10/11
pattern: `__gxtTriggerReRender` becomes the canonical function in
`compilePipeline`, manager.ts contributes a `beforeTriggerReRender` host
hook via `installCompilePipelinePart`). If multiple files wrap it,
consider promoting to a chain pattern (extension of slice 8's host-hook
shape) or do a multi-slice migration. Alternative: `__gxtOriginalManagers`
(slice 7-deferred dual-writer) — `gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts:219` AND
`compile.ts:6023` both write it. A dedicated slice can handle the dual-
write semantics via a chain or last-writer-wins discriminator.

…ne host-hook chains (Cluster B slice 15)

Eliminates the longest-deferred Cluster B exclusion (deferred since slice 10
candidate-ranking): the four pre-slice-15 wrap-by-reassignment installers
that mutated `globalThis.__gxtTriggerReRender` at runtime are replaced by
two chain-aware host hooks on `compilePipeline`. The canonical function
moves into a named `_gxtTriggerReRender` body in compile.ts (where its
closures already live), and contributors register BEFORE/AFTER hooks via
typed bridge methods.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 15 — tenth API change since the pilot):
- `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with three new optional
  methods:
  * `triggerReRender(obj, keyName)` — canonical body; contributed by
    compile.ts via `installCompilePipelinePart`. The globalThis writer is
    RETAINED for dual exposure because the save-restore suppression sites
    at `validator.ts:117-143` and `manager.ts:11219-11480` swap the global
    slot temporarily; pre-slice-15 they observed the wrapped version.
  * `addBeforeTriggerReRender(fn): () => void` — register a BEFORE-chain
    host hook. Returns an idempotent off-fn (matching slice 14's
    `addDynamicComponentListener` ergonomics).
  * `addAfterTriggerReRender(fn): () => void` — register an AFTER-chain
    host hook. Same off-fn contract.
- No new install API needed (all three seeded by compile.ts's existing
  `installCompilePipelinePart` call at file EOF — the same slot used by
  `compileTemplate`, `resetIntervalBudget`, `registerArrayOwner`,
  `registerObjectValueOwner`).

Wrap inventory (FOUR pre-slice-15 wrap-by-reassignment sites — all
audited and eliminated):
1. `manager.ts:3595` `_installTriggerReRenderWrapper` — BEFORE-hook.
   Closure: manager.ts module-local `_dirtiedNestedObjectsForHooks` Set
   (consulted by `_gxtSyncAllWrappersBody` later in same file).
   Approach: host-hook (closure tethers wrap body to manager.ts). Replaced
   by `_gxtRecordDirtiedNestedObject` registered via
   `addBeforeTriggerReRender` at file EOF (microtask-deferred retry pattern
   handles compile-loads-after-manager scenario).
2. `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:431` `_ensureTriggerReRenderPatched` —
   AFTER-hook. Closure: renderer.ts module-local `_proxyContentOwners`
   WeakMap (sole reader). Approach: host-hook. Replaced by lazy
   registration on first proxy-content-owner add, going through
   `addAfterTriggerReRender`. Lazy install pattern retained so classic
   builds without proxy registrations don't take the hook overhead.
3. `@ember/object/core.ts:70` `ensureTriggerReRenderWrapped` —
   AROUND-hook. NO module-local closure — only toggles
   `globalThis.__gxtInTriggerReRender`. Approach: FOLD into the canonical
   body's try/finally (subsumption, not host-hook). The wrap function and
   its call site are deleted outright. The flag is already set by
   `metal/property_events.ts:96-101` on the canonical notify path; the
   canonical body's toggle covers all other direct callers (manager.ts:529
   etc., compile.ts:6034 etc., tracked.ts:298, glimmer-tracking.ts:55).
4. `ember-gxt-wrappers.ts:2837` `installTrackedSetDetector` —
   BEFORE-hook. NO module-local closure — only sets
   `globalThis.__gxtTrackedSetSinceRerender = true`. Approach: host-hook
   for uniformity (could have folded, but host-hook keeps the contributor
   ergonomics observable from the bridge surface). Replaced by inline
   bridge registration with the same microtask-deferred retry as
   manager.ts.

Approach decision: CHAIN-aware host-hook (state-registry shape from slice
14, applied to multi-contributor chains). The pre-slice-15 four wraps had
THREE distinct closure profiles: (a) intra-manager.ts state, (b)
intra-renderer.ts state, (c) zero closure / global flag. The chain
discriminator (BEFORE vs. AFTER) lets one mechanism cover all three —
each contributor adds its function via `addBefore/AfterTriggerReRender`
and the canonical body iterates the chains around its main work. This is
the EIGHTH migration shape on the bridge pattern (after relocation /
install-API contribution / before-host-hook / transformer-host-hook /
after-host-hook / wrap-relocation / state-registry / chain-aware
host-hook).

Performance audit (HOT PATH — `__gxtTriggerReRender` fires on every
`notifyPropertyChange` in GXT mode):
- Empty chains: `if (_beforeChain.length > 0)` is one compare + one
  branch per direction. NO function call dispatch, NO array iteration.
  Cost: zero per-call overhead beyond two truthy checks (essentially
  noise vs. the canonical body's ~10 try/catch frames and 200+ lines of
  proto-walks and cell updates).
- Populated chains: a for-loop with try/catch per hook. With slice 15's
  three contributors (manager.ts, ember-gxt-wrappers.ts, renderer.ts),
  the BEFORE-chain has 2 entries and the AFTER-chain has 0-1 entry (the
  renderer's hook is registered lazily on first proxy installation).
  Each hook is a tiny single-statement function; total per-call cost is
  ~3-4 function-pointer dispatches. This matches the pre-slice-15 wrap-
  call chain depth (the four wraps composed at runtime into a 4-deep
  call stack), so wall-clock per-call overhead is unchanged or better
  (the chain is a flat for-loop versus four nested try/catch frames).
- Verified: smoke gate stays at 16.3s (matches pre-slice-15 16.8s within
  noise margin).

Five pre-slice-15 sites move:
1. manager.ts: `_installTriggerReRenderWrapper` function + variable
   removed; the closure target `_dirtiedNestedObjectsForHooks` Set is
   retained as module-local state (reader unchanged); replacement
   `_gxtRecordDirtiedNestedObject` registered via bridge at file EOF.
   The `_installTriggerReRenderWrapper()` call at the top of
   `_gxtSyncAllWrappersBody` is removed (host-hook registers eagerly).
2. ember-gxt-wrappers.ts: `installTrackedSetDetector` IIFE replaced by
   `_gxtInstallTrackedSetDetectorHostHook` IIFE using the bridge's
   `addBeforeTriggerReRender`. The microtask deferred-retry pattern is
   preserved (compile.ts may load after this file in some entries).
3. glimmer/lib/renderer.ts: `_ensureTriggerReRenderPatched` body replaced
   by a host-hook registration via `addAfterTriggerReRender`. The lazy
   install (called from `_registerArrayProxyOwner`) is retained — only
   the wrap mechanism changes.
4. @ember/object/core.ts: `ensureTriggerReRenderWrapped` function + its
   sole call site DELETED. The `__gxtInTriggerReRender` toggle is now in
   compile.ts's canonical body (replacing this file's wrap entirely).
5. compile.ts: the previously-anonymous `function (obj, keyName) { ... }`
   assigned to `globalThis.__gxtTriggerReRender` is split into a named
   `_gxtTriggerReRender` outer function that owns the BEFORE/AFTER chain
   dispatch + the `__gxtInTriggerReRender` flag toggle, and a
   `_gxtTriggerReRenderBody` inner function that holds the canonical
   logic unchanged. The dual exposure (globalThis writer + bridge slot)
   uses the SAME `_gxtTriggerReRender` reference.

Site readers (unchanged — all routes through the globalThis dual-exposure
slot continue to work):
- `metal/property_events.ts:89` (canonical notify) — unchanged.
- `metal/tracked.ts:298`, `gxt-backend/glimmer-tracking.ts:55`,
  `manager.ts:529 / :544 / :2050 / :2608 / :5466`,
  `compile.ts:6034 / :6093 / :6305` — all read via globalThis, unchanged.
- `validator.ts:117-143` save-restore suppression — unchanged.
- `manager.ts:11219-11480` save-restore suppression — unchanged.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green post-slice-15):
- smoke: 333/333 (16.3s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 15 slices migrated
covering 31 hooks across ~80 call sites + 9 orphan cleanups + 13
wrap-by-reassignment installers eliminated (cumulative — slice 15 alone
eliminates FOUR wraps including the longest-deferred). Bridge interface
evolved TEN times total (slices 6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15). All 8
capabilities namespaces remain stable.

Slice 15 validates the EIGHTH migration shape on the bridge pattern: the
chain-aware host-hook (multi-contributor BEFORE + AFTER chains with
typed registration methods + idempotent off-fns). Previous shapes:
(1) slice 3 relocation, (2) slices 6/7/9 install-API contribution,
(3) slice 8 before-host-hook (single contributor), (4) slice 10
transformer-host-hook, (5) slice 11 after-host-hook, (6) slices 12/13
wrap-relocation, (7) slice 14 state-registry. The chain-aware shape
extends slices 8/10/11's single-contributor host-hook to support
multi-contributor chains without the contributor having to know about
the others — each just registers its hook and gets an off-fn back. This
unblocks any future multi-wrap hooks (e.g. `__gxtSyncDomNow` if it
becomes a wrap target) without further bridge-shape invention.

Suggested next slice (slice 16): the `__gxtOriginalManagers` dual-writer
(slice 7-deferred). `gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts:219` AND `compile.ts:6107`
both write to this globalThis key. The deferred-retry consumer in
`manager.ts:12402` reads it. Three options for handling the dual-write
semantics:
1. Last-writer-wins with a discriminator field (each writer tags its
   value, reader merges by tag).
2. Chain of contributors via `installRuntimePart({ originalManagers })`
   accumulating into a manager.ts-local array.
3. Single canonical home in gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts with a compile.ts
   PATCH method (the compile.ts writer is small — augments the
   `componentManagers` Set; could expose
   `addOriginalComponentManager(mgr)` on the `runtime` namespace).

Alternative slice 16 candidates: state-flag class
(`__gxtSuppressDirtyTagForDuringRebuild`, `__gxtRenderDepth`,
`__gxtIsRendering`) — apply slice 14's state-registry template; lower
priority because cleaner cleanup is module-local `let` for intra-file
flags, bridge methods only when crossing file boundaries.

…ge dual-writer (Cluster B slice 16)

Eliminates the longest-deferred Cluster B `runtime`-namespace exclusion
(deferred since slice 7): the two pre-slice-16 writers that mutated
`globalThis.__gxtOriginalManagers` at module init are replaced by typed
contributions to the `runtime.getOriginalManagers()` method on the
gxt-bridge. The deferred-retry consumer in manager.ts now reads through
the bridge instead of globalThis.

Writer + reader audit (pre-slice-16):
- Writer A: `gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts:229`
  `(globalThis as any).__gxtOriginalManagers = gxtModule.$_MANAGERS;`
  Publishes the `@lifeart/gxt` namespace's `$_MANAGERS` object (from
  `import * as gxtModule from '@lifeart/gxt'`).
- Writer B: `compile.ts:5947`
  `(globalThis as any).__gxtOriginalManagers = $_MANAGERS;`
  Publishes the module-scope `$_MANAGERS` imported by name from
  `@lifeart/gxt` (compile.ts:1212). Same object as Writer A — the rollup
  `manualChunks` consolidation (see compile.ts:1242 note) guarantees a
  single GXT module instance across gxt-backend.
- Reader: `manager.ts:12660` inside a `queueMicrotask` block.
  Reads the published reference and mutates the original object in place
  (`gxtMgrs.component = $_MANAGERS.component;` etc.). The microtask is
  required because manager.ts's module init runs BEFORE either writer's
  install — the synchronous block at manager.ts:12635 (which tries to
  reach $_MANAGERS via `runtime.getGxtModule()?.$_MANAGERS`) is also
  effectively a no-op at module-init time and was already documented as
  such in the slice-7 commit (the actual mutation work has always been
  the microtask block).

Dual-write rationale: each entry point may pull only ONE of the two
writer files. Entry-points reaching only `compile.ts` (no
gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts) need compile.ts's publication; entry-points
reaching only `gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts` (no compile.ts? rare but
possible in production-bundled subsets) need that one's. So both writers
must contribute independently.

Approach decision: (c) — single canonical home on the `runtime` namespace
with BOTH writers contributing the same method via `installRuntimePart`.
Considered:
- (a) Last-writer-wins discriminator: superfluous because both writers
  publish the same object reference (verified via the manualChunks
  consolidation note). No discriminator needed.
- (b) Contributor-chain (slice-15 pattern): designed for multi-contributor
  CHAINS where each contributor adds different behavior. Here both
  contributors publish IDENTICAL data — a chain would just be an array
  of references to the same object, which is over-engineering.
- (c) Single canonical home + multiple writers: matches the data shape
  exactly. `installRuntimePart` already uses `Object.assign`, so the
  second writer simply overwrites the first with the same value.
  Reader has one well-typed entry point: `runtime.getOriginalManagers()`.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 16 — eleventh API change):
- `GxtRuntimeCapabilities` extended with one new optional method:
  * `getOriginalManagers?(): unknown` — returns the GXT-original
    `$_MANAGERS` object (the exact reference GXT's `$_maybeHelper` /
    `$_maybeModifier` close over). Both writers register the same
    accessor; `Object.assign` last-writer-wins is benign because both
    return identical references.
- No new install API needed (reuses slice-7's `installRuntimePart`).
- No new `_pending*Parts` queue (the existing `_pendingRuntimeParts`
  already handles the load-order-before-`setGxtRenderer` case for any
  field on the `runtime` namespace).

Sites moved (FOUR — two writers, one reader, one bridge):
1. `gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts`: globalThis writer line removed; the
   existing `installRuntimePart({ getGxtModule: ... })` call extended
   with `getOriginalManagers: () => gxtModule.$_MANAGERS`. Header
   comment block updated to drop the "NOT migrated in this slice" note
   and document the slice-16 addition.
2. `compile.ts`: globalThis writer line replaced by an
   `installRuntimePart({ getOriginalManagers: () => $_MANAGERS })` call.
   The bridge import (compile.ts:14276) extended with `installRuntimePart`.
3. `manager.ts`: deferred-retry queueMicrotask body changed from
   `(globalThis as any).__gxtOriginalManagers` to
   `getGxtRenderer()?.runtime.getOriginalManagers?.()` with a try/catch
   guard for non-GXT-mode builds. The synchronous block above (which
   reads `runtime.getGxtModule()?.$_MANAGERS` and is a documented no-op
   at module-init) is left unchanged — preserving the slice-7 semantics
   exactly. The `(globalThis as any).$_MANAGERS = $_MANAGERS` write at
   manager.ts:12657 is also unchanged (separate hook, separate slice
   candidate).
4. `gxt-bridge.ts`: `GxtRuntimeCapabilities` interface extended with
   `getOriginalManagers?()` member + 17 lines of doc explaining the
   dual-writer rationale, the `manualChunks` invariant, and the
   `queueMicrotask` deferral contract. Namespace-level doc updated to
   replace the "NOT included in this slice" deferred-list entry with
   a "Slice-16 extension" paragraph documenting the dual-write model.

Install ordering (verified — preserves prior semantics):
- manager.ts module init runs first; the synchronous reader block at
  manager.ts:12635 is a documented no-op (renderer not yet installed).
- manager.ts:12689 `setGxtRenderer(...)` registers the renderer with
  `runtime: {}` seeded empty.
- compile.ts module init (typically) runs LATER; its bottom-of-file
  `installRuntimePart({ getOriginalManagers: ... })` flushes either
  immediately into `_renderer.runtime` (if `setGxtRenderer` already
  fired) or buffers into `_pendingRuntimeParts` (if compile.ts loaded
  first).
- gxt-with-runtime-hbs.ts module init runs whenever the entry references
  it; its `installRuntimePart(...)` call merges into `_renderer.runtime`.
- The manager.ts:12659 `queueMicrotask` fires AFTER all top-level
  installs in the current macrotask, so `getOriginalManagers` is
  populated by the time the read runs.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green post-slice-16):
- smoke: 333/333 (16.6s)
- Errors thrown during render: 4/4
- Tracked Properties: 33/36 (3 pre-existing)
- computed: 147/148 (1 pre-existing)
- Lifecycle: 40/42 (2 pre-existing)
- render: 977/981 (4 pre-existing)

Net: 0 regressions, 0 new fixes. Cluster B progress: 16 slices migrated
covering 32 hooks across ~82 call sites + 9 orphan cleanups + 13
wrap-by-reassignment installers eliminated (cumulative). Bridge
interface evolved ELEVEN times total (slices 6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16).
All 8 capabilities namespaces remain stable. Cross-package consumer/writer
count: ~13 files (no new edges — slice 16 only touched files already
importing the bridge).

Slice 16 validates that the install-API pattern handles the DUAL-WRITER
case cleanly: the same writer-file file can contribute multiple fields
to the same namespace in one call, and two writer files can contribute
the same field to the same namespace with `Object.assign`-last-wins
semantics that are benign when both writers publish identical data. This
is the NINTH migration shape on the bridge pattern (after the eight
prior shapes — relocation / install-API contribution / before-host-hook /
transformer-host-hook / after-host-hook / wrap-relocation /
state-registry / chain-aware host-hook). Specifically: dual-writer
contribution to a single bridge field via the existing install-API.

Suggested next slice (slice 17): the save-restore suppression sites for
`__gxtTriggerReRender` (`validator.ts:117` + `manager.ts:11219`), plus
co-graduation of the remaining dual-exposure globals
(`__gxtSyncAllWrappers`, `__gxtClearInstancePools`) into a typed
`withTriggerSuppressed(fn): T` helper on `compilePipeline` and the
removal of their globalThis writer twins. Low complexity (small,
contiguous surface), eliminates the last save-restore globalThis swap
sites, and finishes the slice-12/13/15 family.

Alternative slice-17 candidates:
- State-flag class (`__gxtSuppressDirtyTagForDuringRebuild`,
  `__gxtRenderDepth`, `__gxtIsRendering`): apply slice-14's
  state-registry template. Lower priority — module-local `let` cleanup
  is cleaner than a bridge migration for these intra-file flags.
- `__gxtIsRootComponent` reverse-flow consumer (slice-9 namespace) —
  this one is already done; verifying no residue.

…ad globalThis writers (Cluster B slice 17)

Two-part slice that finishes the slice-12/13/15 family:

1. Graduate the two save-restore suppression sites for `__gxtTriggerReRender`
   to a typed `compilePipeline.withTriggerSuppressed<T>(fn): T` helper on the
   gxt-bridge. Pre-slice-17 both sites manually inlined the
   `saved = g.__gxtTriggerReRender; g.__gxtTriggerReRender = null/undefined;
   try { ... } finally { g.__gxtTriggerReRender = saved; }` dance:
     - `validator.ts:117` (track() reentrancy guard during getter-triggered
       notifyPropertyChange — prevents `__gxtTriggerReRender → re-read getter
       → notifyPropertyChange → ...` recursion).
     - `manager.ts:11219` (suppression during the FIRST render of a NEW
       classic component so initial willRender / didReceiveAttrs property
       writes don't dirty cells or schedule re-renders).
   The helper encapsulates the save-restore pattern so the suppression contract
   is a single documented bridge surface rather than scattered swap pairs. Both
   sites preserve an inline-fallback path for the (rare) case where the bridge
   slot hasn't been populated yet at the call.

2. Drop the dual-exposure globalThis writers for `__gxtSyncAllWrappers`
   (slice 12) and `__gxtClearInstancePools` (slice 13). Audit confirmed zero
   readers exist outside the gxt-bridge path: intra-package references are
   all comments, cross-package grep across packages/ and tests/ (including
   ember-testing) found no consumers. Both writers were dead code post-slice
   12/13; this slice removes the dead writes.

Save-restore audit (pre-slice-17):
  - validator.ts:117-143: unconditional save-restore around the body of
    `track(cb)`. Save+restore split across the body's try/finally so the
    restore runs even when `cb()` throws.
  - manager.ts:11214-11479: conditional save-restore around
    `renderClassicComponent`'s try-block — only fires when `suppressTrigger
    = !isReused` (REUSED instances must keep the trigger active because cell
    updates need to propagate via cellFor getters from a previous render).

Dual-exposure twin audit (pre-slice-17):
  - `__gxtSyncAllWrappers`: writer at manager.ts:3763; in-source readers via
    globalThis: NONE (all other matches in source are doc/comment); cross-
    package grep in packages/ + tests/ + ember-testing: NONE. Writer is dead.
  - `__gxtClearInstancePools`: writer at manager.ts:1138; in-source readers
    via globalThis: NONE; cross-package grep: NONE. Writer is dead.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 17 — twelfth API change):
`GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with one new optional generic
method `withTriggerSuppressed?<T>(fn: () => T): T`. No new install API
needed (reuses slice-6's `installCompilePipelinePart`). The
`syncAllWrappers` / `clearInstancePools` doc comments are updated to
reflect that the globalThis writers are now DROPPED (was: RETAINED for
dual exposure).

Design decision: keep the globalThis writer for `__gxtTriggerReRender`
itself (compile.ts:3148). Many cross-package readers (metal/tracked.ts,
metal/property_events.ts, glimmer-tracking.ts, manager.ts × 5,
compile.ts × 3) still call the function via
`(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender` rather than through the
bridge. Removing the globalThis writer requires routing every reader
through the bridge first — that is a separate larger migration. Slice 17
only graduates the SUPPRESSION pattern; the function's own publishing
mechanism is unchanged.

Suppression-helper semantics: writes `undefined` to the globalThis slot
(matches validator.ts's pre-slice-17 behavior; manager.ts's pre-slice-17
wrote `null` but all in-source readers check `if (triggerReRender)` so
the two values are equivalent at the call site). Save-restore is
`try/finally` (preserves slot if `fn` throws). Re-entrancy-safe because
the saved value is whatever the enclosing frame installed (nested
suppressions stack correctly).

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green):
  - smoke:                              333/333 ✓
  - Errors thrown during render:        4/4 ✓
  - Tracked Properties:                 33/36 ✓ (matches baseline)
  - computed:                           147/148 ✓ (matches baseline)
  - Lifecycle:                          40/42 ✓ (matches baseline)
  - render:                             977/981 ✓ (matches baseline)

Count delta: +1 bridge method (withTriggerSuppressed); -2 globalThis
writers (__gxtSyncAllWrappers, __gxtClearInstancePools); +1 dual-exposure
twin pair eliminated (slice-12/13 family completed). Cumulative across
Cluster B: 17 slices migrated, ~31 hooks across ~80 call sites, 9
orphan cleanups, 13 wrap-by-reassignment installers eliminated, bridge
API evolved 12 times. All 8 capabilities namespaces stable; no new
cross-package edges (validator.ts adds one new import from gxt-bridge,
intra-package).

Files touched:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: add
    `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed` definition + bridge contribution.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: add
    `withTriggerSuppressed?<T>(fn): T` to GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities;
    update `triggerReRender` / `syncAllWrappers` / `clearInstancePools`
    doc comments.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/manager.ts: route the
    `renderClassicComponent` suppression through the bridge helper; drop
    the two dead globalThis writers.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/validator.ts: import
    `getGxtRenderer` from gxt-bridge; route the `track()` suppression
    through the bridge helper.

…nTriggerReRender + isInTriggerReRender bridge pair (Cluster B slice 18)

Promotes the `__gxtInTriggerReRender` save-restore writers (`compile.ts`'s
in-line toggle inside the canonical `triggerReRender` body, slice-15 fold of
core.ts's pre-slice-15 wrap; `metal/property_events.ts:96-101` caller-side
toggle around `gxtTrigger(obj, keyName)`) to a typed
`compilePipeline.withInTriggerReRender<T>(fn): T` helper on the gxt-bridge.
Adds the paired `compilePipeline.isInTriggerReRender(): boolean` read-side
predicate and routes the `metal/computed.ts:522` CP.get re-entrance guard
through it. The two writers used the same `wasInside`-save / set-true /
restore pattern; this helper folds that pattern into one documented bridge
surface.

Writer + reader audit (pre-slice-18):
  Writers (set the flag, save+restore via try/finally):
    - compile.ts:3130-3136 — wraps `_gxtTriggerReRenderBody` inside the
      canonical `_gxtTriggerReRender` body. This is the slice-15 fold of
      core.ts's pre-slice-15 `ensureTriggerReRenderWrapped` wrap.
    - metal/property_events.ts:96-101 — wraps the `gxtTrigger(obj, keyName)`
      call inside `notifyPropertyChange`. Mirrors the canonical-body wrap
      so callers that invoke the trigger via globalThis (rather than through
      the bridge) still observe `true` for the duration of the synchronous
      notify cascade — including any nested `notifyPropertyChange` calls
      produced by `__gxtTriggerReRender`'s cellFor cascades.
  Readers (read the flag as `=== true`):
    - metal/computed.ts:522 — `CP.get` short-circuits cache misses when
      `__gxtInTriggerReRender === true && revision === undefined`. Preserves
      classic Ember's "don't eagerly evaluate never-consumed CPs during a
      change notification" semantic. MIGRATED to
      `compilePipeline.isInTriggerReRender()` with globalThis fallback.
    - @ember/object/core.ts:325 — DEBUG proxy trap's `_isInternalPath`
      predicate. NOT migrated in this slice — `@ember/object/core.ts` has
      no pre-existing `gxt-bridge` import edge, and the surrounding
      predicate already reads other globalThis flags (`__gxtSyncing`,
      `__gxtIsRendering`) raw. Migrating one flag while leaving the others
      would not improve the edge count net. Slice 18 keeps this reader on
      globalThis, matching slice-15/17's "RETAINED for cross-package
      readers" precedent.

Bridge shape decision: save-restore wrapper (`withInTriggerReRender<T>(fn): T`)
+ read-only predicate (`isInTriggerReRender(): boolean`). The writers both
do the save-set-true-restore dance — a wrapper captures that exactly. The
readers want a fast boolean check — a predicate is the minimal surface.
The "three-method begin/end/is" alternative was rejected: the writers
ALWAYS save+restore in `try/finally`, so a method pair without enforced
pairing would invite drift. The wrapper enforces the pairing structurally.

Namespace decision: `compilePipeline`. The flag is semantically a scope-
modifier on the `triggerReRender` trigger — the compile.ts writer lives
inside the canonical `triggerReRender` body, the property_events.ts writer
wraps the call to `triggerReRender`, the computed.ts reader gates a CP.get
short-circuit specifically for the "are we inside a trigger" question.
Same namespace as slice 17's `withTriggerSuppressed` (the structural twin —
both are scope-modifiers on the trigger; one suppresses the function, the
other toggles the predicate).

Bridge interface evolution (slice 18 — thirteenth API change):
`GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with two new optional generic
methods:
  - `withInTriggerReRender?<T>(fn: () => T): T`
  - `isInTriggerReRender?(): boolean`
No new install API needed (reuses slice-6's `installCompilePipelinePart`).
The `withTriggerSuppressed` doc comment is preserved as-is.

Sites moved:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: add
    `_gxtWithInTriggerReRender<T>` + `_gxtIsInTriggerReRender` definitions;
    replace the in-line save-restore inside `_gxtTriggerReRender` with a
    `_gxtWithInTriggerReRender(() => _gxtTriggerReRenderBody(...))` call;
    contribute both helpers via `installCompilePipelinePart`.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: add
    `withInTriggerReRender?<T>(fn): T` + `isInTriggerReRender?(): boolean`
    to `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` with slice-18 doc comments
    covering the writer + reader audit and the unmigrated
    `@ember/object/core.ts:325` reader.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/metal/lib/property_events.ts: import
    `getGxtRenderer` from `@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge`
    (new intra-metal-lib edge — joins property_set.ts and tracked.ts's
    existing edges); route the `gxtTrigger(obj, keyName)` wrap through

…Pipeline.isRendering bridge (Cluster B slice 19)

Promotes the render-pass-depth read-side predicate
(`__gxtIsRendering`) to a typed `compilePipeline.isRendering(): boolean`
method on the gxt-bridge. The single writer is `__gxtSetIsRendering`
(also defined in `compile.ts`, mutated cross-package from
`glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:2236/2272/2283`); it remains on globalThis in
this slice — a future slice 20 can promote the writer to a paired
begin/end (or `withRendering(fn)`) helper.

Writer + reader audit (pre-slice-19):
  Writer (1):
    - `compile.ts:_gxtSetIsRendering` — increment on `true`, decrement
      on `false`. Mutates the module-local `_renderPassDepth` counter
      that backs both `__gxtIsRendering` and `_gxtIsRendering`. Called
      from `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:2236/2272/2283` via globalThis
      (cross-package writer; renderer wraps each `template.render()`
      with `setIsRendering(true)` + restore in `try/finally`).
  Readers (4):
    - `compile.ts:1903` ($_inElement render-pass detect for deferred
      in-element renders). MIGRATED to intra-file `_gxtIsRendering()`.
    - `compile.ts:2130` ($_inElement self-insert heuristic for in-
      element rendering into an empty target). MIGRATED to intra-file
      `_gxtIsRendering()`.
    - `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:2233/2271` (renderComponent's
      `wasRendering` save-restore + inner `_doRender` reactor's
      `wasRenderingLocal` check — line 2271 captures the same
      `_isRendering` closure variable as line 2233, so a single edit
      at line 2233 propagates). MIGRATED to
      `compilePipeline.isRendering()` bridge call with globalThis
      fallback.
    - `@ember/object/core.ts:321` (DEBUG proxy trap `_isInternalPath`
      predicate). NOT migrated in this slice — the trap reads three
      globalThis flags together (`__gxtIsRendering`, `__gxtSyncing`,
      `__gxtInTriggerReRender`); migrating only one would not improve
      the edge count net. Slice 18 deferred the same trap for its own
      `__gxtInTriggerReRender` reader. Suggested slice 20 migrates
      the whole 3-flag predicate at once.

Bridge shape decision: single read-only predicate `isRendering():
boolean` mirroring slice-18's `isInTriggerReRender()`. The writer
(`_gxtSetIsRendering`) is paired begin/end via cross-package callers
in `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts`, not a `withRendering(fn)` save-restore
helper. Promoting the writer to a paired begin/end bridge surface is
a separate concern (and touches the cross-package renderer.ts writer
site) — deferred to slice 20.

Namespace decision: `compilePipeline`. The flag is semantically a
scope-modifier on the GXT template render pipeline — the writer +
depth counter live in `compile.ts` (the pipeline's home file), the
intra-package readers are in `$_inElement` rendering helpers, and the
cross-package reader in `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts` is the renderer's
wrap of `template.render()`. Same namespace as slices 15/17/18.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 19 — fourteenth API change):
`GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with one new optional method:
  - `isRendering?(): boolean`
No new install API needed (reuses slice-6's `installCompilePipelinePart`).

Sites moved:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: promote
    `_renderPassDepth` and the two functions
    (`_gxtIsRendering` / `_gxtSetIsRendering`) to module-local scope
    (previously closure-locals inside the `if (typeof
    __gxtIsRendering !== 'function')` guard); preserve the dual-load
    guard around the globalThis writers; migrate the two intra-file
    readers ($_inElement render-pass detect at 1903 and self-insert
    heuristic at 2130) to direct `_gxtIsRendering()` calls; contribute
    `isRendering: _gxtIsRendering` via `installCompilePipelinePart`.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: add
    `isRendering?(): boolean` to `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities`
    with slice-19 doc comments covering the writer + reader audit and
    the unmigrated `@ember/object/core.ts:321` reader.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/glimmer/lib/renderer.ts: route the
    `_isRendering` capture in renderComponent (line 2233) through
    `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.isRendering` with globalThis
    fallback. The inner `_doRender` reactor's `wasRenderingLocal`
    check (line 2271 / now 2285) captures the same `_isRendering`
    closure variable, so the single edit propagates.

The `__gxtIsRendering` globalThis writer is RETAINED post-slice-19
because of the unmigrated `@ember/object/core.ts:321` reader. Both
the bridge predicate and the globalThis function reference the same
module-local `_renderPassDepth` counter — they are equivalent post-
install.

Hot-path note: `_gxtIsRendering` is `return _renderPassDepth > 0` —
one integer comparison; zero allocations. The bridge route in
renderer.ts adds one property lookup per `renderComponent` call —
not a tight loop. Intra-compile.ts readers in $_inElement use the
direct function call (no bridge indirection) which is strictly faster
than the pre-slice-19 globalThis lookup.

Count delta: +1 bridge method (`isRendering`); 0 globalThis writers

import edges (renderer.ts already imports `getGxtRenderer`; intra-
compile.ts readers use module-local function). Cumulative across
Cluster B: 19 slices migrated, bridge API evolved 14 times.

Suggested slice 20: migrate the `@ember/object/core.ts:321-326`
DEBUG proxy trap `_isInternalPath` predicate as a unit. The trap
reads three globalThis flags together (`__gxtIsRendering`,
`__gxtSyncing`, `__gxtInTriggerReRender`) — migrating them
individually has been deferred across slices 18 and 19 because the
edge-count math doesn't improve. A focused slice 20 can either
(a) add a single composite predicate `isInGxtInternalPath(propName):
boolean` to the bridge, or (b) add the missing `isSyncing()`
predicate and have core.ts call all three bridge predicates (which
also enables migrating the `__gxtSyncing` writer separately). After
slice 20 closes the trap, slice 21 can promote `__gxtSetIsRendering`
to a paired `beginRendering()/endRendering()` (or `withRendering(fn)`)
bridge writer surface, dropping the globalThis writer entirely.

…er/object/core.ts DEBUG proxy trap to bridge (Cluster B slice 20)

Adds the missing `compilePipeline.isSyncing(): boolean` read-side predicate
(slice-18/19 parity) and migrates the `@ember/object/core.ts:320-326`
DEBUG ObjectProxy `_isInternalPath` trap to route ALL THREE of its GXT
state-flag reads through the typed bridge predicates as a unit. Closes
the proxy-trap deferrals carried by slices 18 and 19.

Pre-slice-20 the trap read three raw `globalThis` flags together
(`__gxtIsRendering`, `__gxtSyncing`, `__gxtInTriggerReRender`). Slice 18
added `isInTriggerReRender()` and slice 19 added `isRendering()` but
deferred the trap because migrating one flag while leaving the other two
raw didn't improve the import-edge count net. With this slice's
`isSyncing()` predicate in place, the trap migrates as a single unit
(slices 18 + 19 deferrals resolved).

Writer + reader audit for `__gxtSyncing` (pre-slice-20):
  Writers (6 sites):
    - `compile.ts:5270`: set true at start of `__gxtSyncDomNow` body.
    - `compile.ts:5717`: reset false in body's `finally`.
    - `compile.ts:5871`: reset false in `__gxtCleanupActiveComponents`
      (between-test cleanup).
    - `compile.ts:5253/5759`: re-entrancy-guard reads inside
      `__gxtSyncDomNow` body + the 16ms interval-driven flush. Treated as
      reads for migration purposes — they short-circuit when the body
      writers have set the flag true.
    - `manager.ts:4202-4215`: `_dispatchPostRenderHook` save-restore
      (`wasSyncing = g.__gxtSyncing; g.__gxtSyncing = false; try {...}
      finally { g.__gxtSyncing = wasSyncing; }`) so a nested
      `__gxtSyncDomNow` from the post-render hook is not short-circuited.
  Readers (7 cross-module sites pre-slice):
    - `compile.ts:5253` (body re-entrancy guard, intra-file).
    - `compile.ts:5759` (interval guard, intra-file).
    - `compile.ts:4826` (wrapped inverseFn isSyncing flag in `$_each`,
      intra-file).
    - `manager.ts:1356` (component-instance creation marks instances
      created during sync cycle for Phase 3 destroy ordering, intra-file).
    - `manager.ts:4826` (TRACE_DESTROY debug log, intra-file).
    - `destroyable.ts:319` (chooses join-flush vs sync destroy based on
      whether GXT post-runTask sync is in progress, intra-file —
      already typed as `g.__gxtSyncing?: boolean`).
    - `@ember/object/core.ts:324` (DEBUG proxy trap `_isInternalPath`
      predicate). **MIGRATED in slice 20** to `compilePipeline.isSyncing()`
      bridge call with globalThis fallback — alongside the slice-18
      `isInTriggerReRender()` and slice-19 `isRendering()` predicates, so
      the entire 3-flag predicate routes through the bridge as a unit.

The six writers and the six non-proxy-trap readers remain on globalThis
in slice 20: they are intra-file (compile.ts writes its own sync body) or
intra-manager / intra-destroyable (closed-module reads). A future slice
can promote the manager.ts save-restore pair to a `withoutSyncing(fn): T`
helper paralleling slice-17's `withTriggerSuppressed`, and the compile.ts
body writers to a `withSyncing(fn): T` helper paralleling slice-18's
`withInTriggerReRender`. But neither writer migration is required for the
proxy-trap-as-unit goal of slice 20.

Bridge shape decision: read-only predicate (mirroring slice-18's
`isInTriggerReRender()` and slice-19's `isRendering()`). Implementation:
`return (globalThis as any).__gxtSyncing === true` — one boolean compare;
zero allocations. Hot-path-safe.

Namespace decision: `compilePipeline`. The flag is semantically a
scope-modifier on the GXT post-runTask DOM sync pipeline — the writer +
body live in `compile.ts` (the pipeline's home file). Same namespace as
slices 15/17/18/19.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 20 — fifteenth API change):
`GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with one new optional method:
  - `isSyncing?(): boolean`
No new install API needed (reuses slice-6's `installCompilePipelinePart`).

Sites moved:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: add module-local
    `_gxtIsSyncing()` predicate near `_gxtIsInTriggerReRender`; contribute
    `isSyncing: _gxtIsSyncing` via `installCompilePipelinePart` at module
    bottom. Update slice-19 retention comment to reflect that the trap
    reader is now bridge-routed (with globalThis fallback) so the
    `__gxtIsRendering` writer is still retained as a fallback source —
    a future slice 21 can drop both the `__gxtIsRendering` and
    `__gxtInTriggerReRender` globalThis writers once the three bridge-
    routed readers drop their globalThis fallback branches (or once a
    paired writer-side migration lands).
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: add
    `isSyncing?(): boolean` to `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` with full
    writer + reader audit + bridge-shape / namespace decisions in the doc
    comment.
  - packages/@ember/object/core.ts: add NEW intra-package import edge to
    `@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge` (`getGxtRenderer`); rewrite
    the DEBUG ObjectProxy proxy trap's `_isInternalPath` predicate to
    call `isRendering()` / `isSyncing()` / `isInTriggerReRender()`
    through the bridge with raw-globalThis fallbacks (pattern consistent
    with slice 18's `metal/computed.ts` and slice 19's `renderer.ts`).

The globalThis writers for `__gxtIsRendering` / `__gxtSyncing` /
`__gxtInTriggerReRender` are RETAINED post-slice-20:
  - `__gxtSyncing`: six writers + six non-trap readers on globalThis;
    not eligible for removal (intra-file writes/reads are the cheapest
    path).
  - `__gxtIsRendering`: the trap, computed.ts, and renderer.ts readers
    all retain a globalThis fallback branch; dropping the writer would
    break the bridge-not-yet-installed edge.
  - `__gxtInTriggerReRender`: same shape — fallback branches in three
    bridge-routed readers + the property_events.ts writer (also raw
    globalThis) keep this slot live.

A future cleanup slice could drop the three bridge-routed fallback
branches once the bridge install ordering is proven race-free (the bridge
populates at compile.ts module init, before any QUnit test runs); after
that, the `__gxtIsRendering` / `__gxtInTriggerReRender` globalThis
writers could be dropped (the `__gxtSyncing` writer would remain for the
six intra-file readers).

Count delta: +1 bridge method (`isSyncing`); 0 globalThis writers

20 slices migrated, bridge API evolved 15 times.

Suggested slice 21: promote the `__gxtSetIsRendering` writer to a paired

surface, dropping the cross-package `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:2236/2272/
2283` save-restore writers from globalThis. After slice 21, the
`__gxtIsRendering` and `__gxtSetIsRendering` globalThis writers can be
dropped together (assuming the three bridge-routed `isRendering()`
readers also drop their globalThis fallback branches as part of the same
slice). Alternative slice 21: promote the manager.ts:4202-4215
save-restore writer of `__gxtSyncing` to a `withoutSyncing(fn): T`
helper — smaller surface; reuses slice-17's `withTriggerSuppressed`
shape.

…dering bridge helper + drop __gxtIsRendering/__gxtSetIsRendering globals (Cluster B slice 21)

Adds a typed `compilePipeline.withRendering<T>(fn): T` save-restore wrapper
that graduates the two cross-package `__gxtSetIsRendering` writer sites in
`glimmer/lib/renderer.ts` (renderComponent's initial-render wrap + the
`_doRender` reactor wrap) to a bridge surface. Migrates the intra-file
`compile.ts:13819` (templateFactory.render body) writer site to call
`_gxtSetIsRendering` directly (module-local — no bridge round-trip needed).
Drops the `__gxtIsRendering` globalThis fallback branch in
`@ember/object/core.ts` DEBUG proxy trap and the `__gxtIsRendering`/
`__gxtSetIsRendering` globalThis writers in `compile.ts`. Net -2 globalThis
surface slots.

Writer audit (pre-slice-21):
  - `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:2249` — renderComponent top-level wrap around
    `renderIntoRegion(template, renderContext)`. Pattern: unconditional
    `_setRendering(true)` before render, conditional
    `if (!wasRendering) _setRendering(false)` after.
  - `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:2286` — `_doRender` classic-tag reactor wrap
    around `clearRegion(); renderIntoRegion(template, renderContext)`. Same
    unconditional-bump + conditional-restore pattern.
  - `compile.ts:13819` — templateFactory.render body wrap. Unconditional
    `_setRendering(true)` before render, unconditional `_setRendering(false)`
    in both the success-path and catch-path branches. Intra-file caller.

Bridge shape decision: `withRendering<T>(fn): T` save-restore wrapper
(mirroring slice-17's `withTriggerSuppressed` and slice-18's
`withInTriggerReRender`). Defense:
  1. Single bridge method (one API surface added) vs paired begin/end (two
     methods, requires pairing discipline at every caller).
  2. The pre-slice-21 pattern was already "save state on entry, run body,
     restore on exit" — `withRendering` makes the try/finally explicit and
     documented.
  3. The conditional-restore guard (skip decrement when nested) is folded
     INTO the bridge helper, removing the obligation from caller sites.

EMPIRICAL conditional-restore semantics: the natural slice-17/18-style
"always-increment, always-decrement" balanced wrap regresses 3 tests in
`Strict Mode - renderComponent` ("multiple calls to render in to the same
element appear as siblings" and variants). Root cause: the depth-1→0
transition in `_gxtSetIsRendering(false)` fires the in-element deferred-
render drain. With the balanced wrap, EVERY nested renderComponent call
triggers a drain on its own exit — replaying a queued in-element render in
the parent before the parent commits, producing duplicated DOM output.
The pre-slice-21 conditional-restore lets depth drift up by N (one per
nested renderComponent call), so when the outer frame's decrement runs,
depth goes from N+1 → N (NOT 1 → 0) — no extra drain. The drain fires
ONLY when the outer frame has no nested renderComponent calls (depth was
1, decrement to 0 → drain).

Final `withRendering(fn)` body:
  function _gxtWithRendering<T>(fn: () => T): T {
    const wasRendering = _gxtIsRendering();
    _gxtSetIsRendering(true);
    try {
      return fn();
    } finally {
      if (!wasRendering) _gxtSetIsRendering(false);
    }
  }

Namespace decision: `compilePipeline`. The flag is semantically a scope-
modifier on the GXT template render pipeline — the writer + depth counter
live in `compile.ts` (the pipeline's home file). Same namespace as slices
15/17/18/19/20.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 21 — sixteenth API change):
`GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with one new optional method:
  - `withRendering?<T>(fn: () => T): T`
No new install API needed (reuses slice-6's `installCompilePipelinePart`).

Reader fallback drop: the slice-19 `__gxtIsRendering` globalThis fallback
branch at `@ember/object/core.ts:352-354` is DROPPED. The bridge
`isRendering()` predicate is the canonical source after slice 21; if the
bridge has not been installed at trap-fire time we default to `false`
("not in a render pass"), which is safe — without the GXT pipeline loaded
the trap cannot be hit. The `renderer.ts:2247` fallback was already
removed (inline rewrite). The `__gxtSyncing` / `__gxtInTriggerReRender`
fallback branches are RETAINED — their globalThis writers remain live
(see slices 18 and 20 deferrals).

Sites moved:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: add module-local
    `_gxtWithRendering<T>` save-restore wrapper near `_gxtSetIsRendering`;
    drop the `globalThis.__gxtSetIsRendering` / `globalThis.__gxtIsRendering`
    writers; replace the intra-file `templateFactory.render` body's
    `g.__gxtSetIsRendering` lookup with a direct `_gxtSetIsRendering` call;
    contribute `withRendering: _gxtWithRendering` via
    `installCompilePipelinePart`.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: add
    `withRendering?<T>(fn): T` to `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` with
    full audit + conditional-restore-semantics rationale in the doc
    comment.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/glimmer/lib/renderer.ts: replace the two
    `globalThis.__gxtSetIsRendering` writer call patterns with bridge
    `withRendering(fn)` wraps; drop the `_setRendering` / fallback
    `__gxtIsRendering` lookup variables; update the surrounding comments.
  - packages/@ember/object/core.ts: drop the `__gxtIsRendering` globalThis
    fallback branch in the DEBUG proxy trap's `_isInternalPath` predicate
    (the slice-19 bridge `isRendering()` route is now the sole reader).

`gxt-backend/glimmer-tracking.ts:54`. Slice shape: 2 new bridge methods

`withCurrentlyRendering(fn): T`) — same shape as slice 18's
`withInTriggerReRender`/`isInTriggerReRender` pair. Alternative slice 22:
promote the manager.ts:4202-4215 `__gxtSyncing` save-restore writer to a
`withoutSyncing(fn): T` helper paralleling slice-17's
`withTriggerSuppressed` — smaller surface; closes one of the slice-20

…lePipeline.{with,is}CurrentlyRendering bridge pair + drop __gxtCurrentlyRendering global (Cluster B slice 22)

Adds a paired `compilePipeline.withCurrentlyRendering<T>(fn): T` save-restore
wrapper + `compilePipeline.isCurrentlyRendering(): boolean` predicate (slice-18
shape) and migrates all four writer/reader sites of the `__gxtCurrentlyRendering`
boolean flag. The flag is DISTINCT from slice-21's `__gxtIsRendering` (which
manages the `_renderPassDepth` counter) — `__gxtCurrentlyRendering` is a
pure boolean that gates the "cross-object reactivity trigger fan-out" from
@Tracked setters: when a @Tracked setter fires DURING a render pass or DURING
a wrapped user-event handler, the setter MUST NOT call `__gxtTriggerReRender`
(otherwise the inner trigger dirties cells mid-render, breaking the initial
render, or clobbers user input via a parent-arg re-sync during the
post-handler commit).

Pure boolean (no depth counter, no transition side-effects), so the balanced
"always save + always restore" wrap pattern from slice-17 (`withTriggerSuppressed`)
and slice-18 (`withInTriggerReRender`) is the correct shape — UNLIKE slice-21's
conditional-restore `withRendering` variant which had to gate the in-element
deferred-render drain.

Writer + reader audit (pre-slice-22):
  Writers (2):
    - `manager.ts:10775-10780` — `wrapHandler` save-restore wrap around the
      event handler call (change/input/keyUp/etc.). Pattern:
      `prevRendering = g.__gxtCurrentlyRendering; g.__gxtCurrentlyRendering
      = true; try { handler(e); } finally { g.__gxtCurrentlyRendering =
      prevRendering; ... }`. CROSS-PACKAGE writer.
    - `compile.ts:14181/14191` — `templateFactory.render` body unconditional
      `true` (before template body call) / `false` (in `finally`). INTRA-FILE
      writer, paired with `gxtSetIsRendering(true)`.
  Readers (2):
    - `metal/tracked.ts:297` — `if (!g.__gxtCurrentlyRendering) {
      __gxtTriggerReRender(this, key); __gxtExternalSchedule(); }` — gates the
      cross-object reactivity trigger from a non-component @Tracked setter.
    - `glimmer-tracking.ts:54` — same pattern, inside the `tracked()`
      decorator's setter.

Bridge shape decision: balanced save-restore wrapper + read-only predicate
(mirroring slice-18's `withInTriggerReRender`/`isInTriggerReRender` pair).
The cross-package `manager.ts:10775` writer goes through
`compilePipeline.withCurrentlyRendering(fn)` via the bridge. The intra-file
`compile.ts:14181/14191` writers call the module-local
`_gxtSetCurrentlyRendering` directly (unconditional set-true / set-false —
the bridge save-restore semantics are NOT what this caller wants; the
templateFactory render body always wants to detect "we are inside a template
body call" regardless of nesting, and the surrounding try/finally provides
cleanup pairing) — mirroring slice-21's intra-file `_gxtSetIsRendering`
direct-call decision.

Namespace decision: `compilePipeline`. The flag is semantically a scope-
modifier on the GXT template render pipeline — its canonical state lives in
`compile.ts` (the pipeline's home file), the intra-file writer is the
templateFactory render body, and the cross-package writer in `manager.ts` is
the event-handler wrap. Same namespace as slices 15/17/18/19/20/21.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 22 — seventeenth API change):
`GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with TWO new optional methods:
  - `withCurrentlyRendering?<T>(fn: () => T): T`
  - `isCurrentlyRendering?(): boolean`
No new install API needed (reuses slice-6's `installCompilePipelinePart`).

After slice 22 the `__gxtCurrentlyRendering` globalThis slot is DROPPED:
the canonical state is the module-local `_gxtCurrentlyRenderingFlag` in
`compile.ts`, the bridge methods are the sole cross-package surface, and the
intra-file writers use the module-local setter directly. Net globalThis
surface delta: -1 slot (`__gxtCurrentlyRendering`).

Sites moved:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: add module-local
    `_gxtCurrentlyRenderingFlag` state + `_gxtIsCurrentlyRendering` /
    `_gxtSetCurrentlyRendering` / `_gxtWithCurrentlyRendering` helpers near
    the slice-18 `_gxtIsInTriggerReRender` predicate; migrate the intra-file
    `templateFactory.render` body writes at L14181/L14191 to direct
    `_gxtSetCurrentlyRendering(true/false)` calls; contribute
    `withCurrentlyRendering: _gxtWithCurrentlyRendering` and
    `isCurrentlyRendering: _gxtIsCurrentlyRendering` via
    `installCompilePipelinePart`.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: add
    `withCurrentlyRendering?<T>(fn): T` and `isCurrentlyRendering?(): boolean`
    to `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` with full audit + bridge-shape /
    namespace decision rationale.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/manager.ts: replace the
    `wrapHandler` save-restore globalThis writer with bridge
    `compilePipeline.withCurrentlyRendering(fn)`; keep the
    `__gxtPendingSync` / `__gxtPendingSyncFromPropertyChange` cleanup in a
    tail `finally` so it runs regardless of bridge availability.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/metal/lib/tracked.ts: replace the
    `!g.__gxtCurrentlyRendering` raw-globalThis read with
    `compilePipeline.isCurrentlyRendering()` bridge predicate; defaults to
    `false` ("not rendering") when the bridge is not yet installed.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/glimmer-tracking.ts: same
    migration as metal/tracked.ts.

exclusively, the `__gxtInTriggerReRender` globalThis writer can be dropped.

…graduate to compile.ts module-local state + bridge-exclusive readers/writers (Cluster B slice 23)

Closes the slice-18 deferral by graduating the canonical state of the
`__gxtInTriggerReRender` boolean flag to a module-local
`_gxtInTriggerReRenderFlag` in `compile.ts` and dropping the
`globalThis.__gxtInTriggerReRender` slot entirely. The flag gates the
`CP.get` re-entrance guard (preserves classic Ember's "don't eagerly
evaluate never-consumed CPs during a change notification" semantic) and
the DEBUG proxy trap's `_isInternalPath` predicate; both readers were
already bridge-routed (slices 18 + 20) but kept globalThis fallbacks
pending the writer-drop. Slice 23 drops the fallbacks and the writer.

Same pattern as slice 22's `__gxtCurrentlyRendering` drop: module-local
state in compile.ts, bridge-exclusive cross-package surface, balanced
save-restore wrap helper. Re-entrancy semantics unchanged — the saved
value is whatever the enclosing frame wrote, so nested calls stack
correctly.

Writer + reader audit (pre-slice-23):
  Writers (2):
    - `compile.ts:3188-3197` `_gxtWithInTriggerReRender` — bridge helper
      added in slice 18, wrapped around `_gxtTriggerReRenderBody` at
      compile.ts:3303 (the canonical body fold of pre-slice-15 core.ts
      wrap). INTRA-FILE.
    - `metal/property_events.ts:115-129` `notifyPropertyChange` caller-
      side wrap around the `gxtTrigger(obj, keyName)` call. CROSS-PACKAGE.
      Pre-slice-23 had an inline globalThis save-restore fallback for
      the bridge-not-yet-installed edge.
  Readers (2):
    - `metal/computed.ts:538` — CP.get short-circuits cache misses when
      `isInTriggerReRender() && revision === undefined`. Bridge-routed
      in slice 18 with globalThis fallback.
    - `@ember/object/core.ts:357-360` — DEBUG proxy trap's
      `_isInternalPath` predicate. Bridge-routed in slice 20 with
      globalThis fallback (part of the 3-flag predicate group).

Bridge shape decision: NO new bridge interface change. The slice-18
`withInTriggerReRender(fn): T` + `isInTriggerReRender(): boolean` pair
on `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` is unchanged — only the underlying
canonical state (and the readers' fallback branches) moved. The bridge
methods now read/write the module-local `_gxtInTriggerReRenderFlag`
in compile.ts exclusively (the globalThis mirror writes are gone).

Sites moved:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: add module-local
    `_gxtInTriggerReRenderFlag` state; rewrite `_gxtWithInTriggerReRender`
    + `_gxtIsInTriggerReRender` to read/write the module-local slot
    (drop the `globalThis.__gxtInTriggerReRender` writes/reads); refresh
    the slice-15 / installer comments to note the slice-23 graduation.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/metal/lib/property_events.ts: drop the
    inline globalThis save-restore fallback in the
    `notifyPropertyChange` body (bridge-exclusive writer path). If the
    bridge is unavailable (module-init edge — unreachable from any
    known notify entry point), call `gxtTrigger` directly; the canonical
    body's internal `_gxtWithInTriggerReRender` wrap still sets the flag
    for the body's duration.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/metal/lib/computed.ts: drop the
    `g.__gxtInTriggerReRender === true` globalThis fallback in the
    CP.get re-entrance guard (bridge-exclusive reader). Default to
    `false` when the bridge is unavailable (preserves classic lazy CP
    semantics — the next genuine read recomputes normally). The
    `g.__gxtCPInvalidationSet` reader is unchanged (separate flag).
  - packages/@ember/object/core.ts: drop the
    `_g.__gxtInTriggerReRender === true` globalThis fallback in the
    DEBUG proxy trap's `_inTriggerNow` branch (bridge-exclusive
    reader). The `_g.__gxtSyncing === true` fallback is RETAINED (its
    writer is still live pending its own slice). Refresh the slice-15
    / slice-20 comments to note the slice-23 graduation.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: refresh the
    `withInTriggerReRender` / `isInTriggerReRender` docs with the
    slice-23 writer-drop + reader-fallback-drop summary.

globalThis slot (`__gxtInTriggerReRender`); 0 new import edges (all
five touched files already imported `getGxtRenderer` from `gxt-bridge`).
Cumulative across Cluster B: 23 slices migrated, bridge API unchanged
since slice 22.

Suggested slice 24: promote the `manager.ts:4202-4215` `__gxtSyncing`
save-restore writer to a `withSyncing(fn): T` helper paralleling
slice-17's `withTriggerSuppressed` / slice-18's `withInTriggerReRender`
— closes the remaining slice-20 deferral for `__gxtSyncing`. Audit:
the bridge `isSyncing()` predicate already exists (slice 20). After
slice 24 the proxy-trap's `__gxtSyncing` fallback branch
(`@ember/object/core.ts:362`) can also drop. Net -1 globalThis slot.

…o compile.ts module-local state + bridge-exclusive readers/writers (Cluster B slice 24)

Closes the slice-20 deferral by graduating the canonical state of the
`__gxtSyncing` boolean flag to a module-local `_gxtSyncingFlag` in
`compile.ts` and dropping the `globalThis.__gxtSyncing` slot entirely.
The flag gates the GXT post-`runTask` DOM sync flush re-entrancy guard
(prevents infinite sync loops when force-rerender triggers cascade
updates), is consumed by the DEBUG proxy trap's `_isInternalPath`
predicate and a handful of intra-package readers, and is written by
the sync body itself plus the manager.ts post-render-hook re-entry
save-restore. Slice 24 graduates all writers + readers to bridge or
module-local paths and drops the proxy-trap's slice-20 fallback.

Same pattern as slice 22's `__gxtCurrentlyRendering` drop and slice
23's `__gxtInTriggerReRender` drop: module-local state in compile.ts,
bridge-exclusive cross-package surface, save-restore wrap helper for
the cross-package writer. With slice 24, ALL THREE GXT state flags
consumed by the proxy-trap predicate (`__gxtIsRendering`,
`__gxtSyncing`, `__gxtInTriggerReRender`) now go through the bridge
exclusively — no globalThis fallbacks remain in `core.ts`.

Writer + reader audit (pre-slice-24):
  Writers (4 sites — 3 in compile.ts, 1 in manager.ts):
    - `compile.ts:5395` — set to `true` at start of `__gxtSyncDomNow`
      body (after re-entrancy guard passes). INTRA-FILE.
    - `compile.ts:5842` — reset to `false` in the body's `finally`
      (mirrors the L5395 set). INTRA-FILE.
    - `compile.ts:5996` — reset to `false` in
      `__gxtCleanupActiveComponents` (test-between-test cleanup).
      INTRA-FILE.
    - `manager.ts:4202-4215` — `_dispatchPostRenderHook` save-restore
      wraps the post-render-hook re-entry (`wasSyncing = g.__gxtSyncing;
      g.__gxtSyncing = false; try {...} finally { g.__gxtSyncing =
      wasSyncing; }`) so a nested `__gxtSyncDomNow` invocation from
      the post-render hook bypasses the re-entrancy guard. CROSS-
      PACKAGE.
  Readers (6 sites — 4 in compile.ts/gxt-backend, 1 in manager.ts, 1
    in `@ember/object/core.ts`):
    - `compile.ts:5378` — `__gxtSyncDomNow` re-entrancy guard (early
      return). INTRA-FILE.
    - `compile.ts:5884` — interval-driven flush re-entrancy guard.
      INTRA-FILE.
    - `compile.ts:4951` — `isSyncing` flag computed inside the wrapped
      `inverseFn` of `$_each` for inverse-branch destroy lifecycle.
      INTRA-FILE.
    - `manager.ts:1356` — component-instance creation marks instances
      created during the sync cycle for Phase 3 destroy ordering.
      INTRA-PACKAGE.
    - `manager.ts:4826` — TRACE_DESTROY debug log. INTRA-PACKAGE.
    - `destroyable.ts:319` — chooses join-flush vs sync destroy based
      on whether GXT post-runTask sync is in progress. INTRA-PACKAGE.
    - `@ember/object/core.ts:362` — DEBUG proxy trap's
      `_isInternalPath` predicate. Bridge-routed in slice 20 with
      globalThis fallback (3-flag predicate group).

Bridge shape decision: add ONE new bridge method
`withSyncing<T>(value: boolean, fn: () => T): T` — a save-restore
wrapper taking the new flag value as an argument. Generalises
slice-17's `withTriggerSuppressed` (set-to-FALSE-for-body) and
slice-18's `withInTriggerReRender` (set-to-TRUE-for-body) under one
helper. The cross-package writer at `manager.ts:4202-4215` calls it
with `value=false` to temporarily clear the re-entrancy guard so the
nested `__gxtSyncDomNow` invocation proceeds; the intra-file
compile.ts body writers continue to use straight-line module-local
`_gxtSetSyncing(true/false)` (the body's try/finally already pairs
the set/reset; no nested caller writes the flag to a different value
mid-body) — matching slice-22's intra-file direct-call decision. The
slice-20 `isSyncing(): boolean` predicate is unchanged on the bridge
API; only its underlying canonical state moved. Note: `withSyncing`
is the FIRST Cluster B bridge helper that takes a non-`fn` argument.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 24 — eighteenth API change):
`GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with one new optional
method `withSyncing?<T>(value: boolean, fn: () => T): T`. No new
install API.

Sites moved:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: add module-local
    `_gxtSyncingFlag` state + `_gxtSetSyncing` setter +
    `_gxtWithSyncing<T>(value, fn): T` helper; rewrite `_gxtIsSyncing`
    to read the module-local slot (drop the
    `globalThis.__gxtSyncing` read); migrate the three intra-file
    writers (L5395/L5842/L5996) and the two intra-file re-entrancy
    readers (L5378/L5884) and the `isSyncing` reader at L4951 to use
    module-local state; install `withSyncing` on the bridge alongside
    `isSyncing`; refresh the slice-20 / installer comments to note
    the slice-24 graduation.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/manager.ts: migrate the
    `_dispatchPostRenderHook` post-render-hook re-entry save-restore
    (L4202-4215) to the bridge `compilePipeline.withSyncing(false, fn)`
    helper; route the `instance.__gxtCreatedInSyncCycle` marker
    (L1356) and the TRACE_DESTROY debug log (L4826) reads through
    `compilePipeline.isSyncing?()`.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/destroyable.ts: add
    intra-package import for `getGxtRenderer` from `./gxt-bridge`;
    migrate the `g.__gxtSyncing` reader at L319 (sync-vs-deferred
    destroy decision) to `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.isSyncing?.()`.
  - packages/@ember/object/core.ts: drop the
    `_g.__gxtSyncing === true` globalThis fallback in the DEBUG proxy
    trap's `_syncingNow` branch (bridge-exclusive reader). With this
    change, ALL THREE GXT state-flag reads in the proxy-trap
    predicate go through the bridge exclusively. Drop the unused `_g`
    local. Refresh the slice-20 / slice-23 comments to note the
    slice-24 graduation.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: refresh
    `isSyncing` doc with the slice-24 writer-drop + reader-fallback-
    drop summary; add `withSyncing<T>(value, fn): T` interface method
    + doc.

— wait, that's 5 across slices 21-24; -4 actually counts only
through slice 23). After slice 24 the cumulative is -5 slots.

Suggested slice 25: candidates ranked —
1. `__gxtTriggerReRender` globalThis writer dropping (LONG RUNWAY).
   10+ readers across metal/tracked.ts, metal/property_events.ts,
   glimmer-tracking.ts, manager.ts (5 sites), compile.ts (3 sites).
   The import-edge buildup is improving (metal/property_events.ts,
   metal/computed.ts, metal/tracked.ts, glimmer-tracking.ts all
   already import `getGxtRenderer`). A first slice could migrate
   the `__gxtTriggerReRender` cross-package READERS (metal/tracked.ts
   + glimmer-tracking.ts) to a bridge `compilePipeline.triggerReRender(
   obj, key)` method, leaving the writer intact pending future slices.
2. `__gxtPendingSync` / `__gxtPendingSyncFromPropertyChange` boolean
   flag pair migration. Both written by metal/property_events.ts and
   compile.ts, read by manager.ts and compile.ts. Same shape as slice
   22/23/24 (module-local state + bridge predicate). Net potentially
   -2 globalThis slots.
3. `__gxtSyncCycleId` integer counter migration. Single source of
   truth in compile.ts (L5397 increment); read by manager.ts:1357 +
   compile.ts:4950. Could promote to `compilePipeline.getSyncCycleId()`
   bridge method + module-local counter. Net -1 globalThis slot.

…ackage readers (metal/tracked.ts + glimmer-tracking.ts) to bridge `compilePipeline.triggerReRender(...)` — open longest-runway campaign (Cluster B slice 25)

Opens the longest-runway Cluster B campaign: dropping the
`globalThis.__gxtTriggerReRender` writer at `compile.ts:3366`. Slice 25
migrates the FIRST TWO of approximately 10 cross-package READERS off the
globalThis slot to the bridge `compilePipeline.triggerReRender(obj, key)`
method (already installed since slice 15). The writer stays — future
sub-slices migrate the remaining readers (manager.ts five sites,
compile.ts three sites, validator.ts one site, property_events.ts one
site) before the writer drop is safe.

Reader+writer audit (pre-slice-25):
  Cross-package readers (10 sites):
    - metal/tracked.ts:308 — tracked setter notify path. MIGRATE.
    - glimmer-tracking.ts:63 — custom-tracked-set host hook. MIGRATE.
    - metal/property_events.ts:103 — notifyPropertyChange dispatch. STAY.
    - manager.ts:529/544/2054/2612/5487 — five sites in classic
      component lifecycle paths. STAY (future slice).
    - validator.ts:161 — save-restore suppression site (one of the two
      slice-17 suppression frames). STAY — suppression mechanism still
      writes to the globalThis slot.
    - compile.ts:6376/6435/6647 — three intra-file sites. STAY.
  Writers (3 sites — all intra-file in compile.ts):
    - compile.ts:3366 — canonical writer (`_gxtTriggerReRender`
      installer). RETAIN.
    - compile.ts:3378-3383 — `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed` save-restore
      pair (slice-17 suppression helper). RETAIN — the globalThis-clear
      is the suppression surface observed by the eight remaining
      globalThis-readers.
    - validator.ts:161-166 — `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed`-equivalent
      inlined save-restore in track() reentrancy guard. (Now also
      routed through `withTriggerSuppressed` via slice-17 bridge.)

Suppression-contract preservation: the `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed`
helper clears the `globalThis.__gxtTriggerReRender` slot for the
duration of `fn` so legacy globalThis-readers observe `undefined` and
skip dispatch. With the slice-25 migration, the bridge
`compilePipeline.triggerReRender(...)` method is NOT cleared by the
helper — it still points at the canonical `_gxtTriggerReRender`
function. To preserve the suppression contract for the two new bridge
readers, slice 25 introduces a module-local `_gxtTriggerSuppressedFlag`
in `compile.ts` that `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed` sets in parallel with
the globalThis-clear. The canonical `_gxtTriggerReRender` function
short-circuits at its entry when the flag is `true` — so BOTH
globalThis-readers AND bridge-readers observe the same no-op for the
duration of a `withTriggerSuppressed(fn)` frame. The flag is module-
local (no new globalThis slot); re-entrancy-safe via save/restore.

Sites moved:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: add module-local
    `_gxtTriggerSuppressedFlag` boolean; add short-circuit at entry of
    canonical `_gxtTriggerReRender`; extend `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed`
    to set/restore the flag in parallel with the existing globalThis-
    clear (re-entrancy via `wasSuppressed` save-restore).
  - packages/@ember/-internals/metal/lib/tracked.ts: migrate
    `(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender` read at L308 (tracked
    setter notify path) to `compilePipeline.triggerReRender?.(this, key)`.
    Hoist the `compilePipeline` lookup to a shared `_cp` local so both
    `isCurrentlyRendering` (slice 22) and `triggerReRender` (slice 25)
    reuse it.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/glimmer-tracking.ts: migrate
    `(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender` read at L63 (custom-
    tracked-set host hook) to `compilePipeline.triggerReRender?.(this,
    key)`. Same `_cp` hoist as `metal/tracked.ts`.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: refresh
    `triggerReRender` doc with the slice-25 first-two-readers migration
    summary; refresh `withTriggerSuppressed` doc to document the new
    module-local `_gxtTriggerSuppressedFlag` and the contract that bridge

migration campaign — pick from the remaining 8 cross-package readers
(NOT the suppression-site save-restore at validator.ts:161-166, which

  - manager.ts:529, manager.ts:544 — two destroy-related sites; same
    `(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender` pattern. INTRA-PACKAGE.
  - manager.ts:2054 — one site; INTRA-PACKAGE.
  - manager.ts:2612, manager.ts:5487 — two more sites; INTRA-PACKAGE.
  - compile.ts:6376/6435/6647 — three intra-file sites; trivial.
  - metal/property_events.ts:103 — cross-package; like
    metal/tracked.ts:308 in shape.
A natural next sub-slice is `metal/property_events.ts:103` (mirrors
slice 25 — one cross-package reader, same import pattern; package
already imports `getGxtRenderer`). Defends symmetry with slice 25 and
keeps the per-slice surface small.

…roperty_events.ts + 4 manager.ts) to bridge `compilePipeline.triggerReRender(...)` — continue reader-migration campaign (Cluster B slice 26)

Continues the longest-runway Cluster B campaign (started in slice 25):
dropping the `globalThis.__gxtTriggerReRender` writer at `compile.ts:3392`.
Slice 26 migrates FIVE more cross-package/intra-package READERS off the
globalThis slot to the bridge `compilePipeline.triggerReRender(obj, key)`
method (already installed since slice 15). The writer stays — future
sub-slices migrate the remaining 5 readers before the writer drop is safe.

Reader+writer audit (post-slice-25, pre-slice-26):
  Cross-package readers (1 remaining): metal/property_events.ts:103.
  Intra-package readers (8 sites — gxt-backend):
    - manager.ts:529/544 — recompute() patched fn (error path + happy path).
    - manager.ts:2054 — PROPERTY_DID_CHANGE override capture-once.
    - manager.ts:2612 — args dispatch CP-dep reread trigger.
    - manager.ts:5487 — attrs proxy capture-once.
    - compile.ts:6413/6472/6684 — three intra-file sites.
  Save-restore suppression sites (NOT readers — slice-17 territory; skip):
    - manager.ts:11522-11527, validator.ts:161-166.
  Writers (retained):
    - compile.ts:3392 — canonical writer.
    - compile.ts:3404-3420 — `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed` save-restore pair.

Slice 26 selects 5 SAFE readers (the 1 cross-package site + 4 intra-package
manager.ts sites that mirror slice-25's shape — no save-restore, no
capture-once across the bridge install boundary):
  - metal/property_events.ts:103 — notifyPropertyChange GXT integration
    trigger (third cross-package reader; mirrors slice 25's metal/tracked.ts
    and glimmer-tracking.ts).
  - manager.ts:529 — patched `recompute()` error-path bump trigger.
  - manager.ts:544 — patched `recompute()` happy-path bump trigger.
  - manager.ts:2054 — PROPERTY_DID_CHANGE override capture-once for
    `triggerReRender` (used at 4 call sites inside the closure body —
    all guarded by `if (triggerReRender)` truthy checks, so `undefined`
    return from the bridge when not installed cleanly matches the
    pre-slice-26 behavior).
  - manager.ts:2612 — args dispatch CP-dep reread trigger.

Sites moved:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/metal/lib/property_events.ts: migrate the
    `(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender` read at L103 (notifyPropertyChange
    GXT integration trigger) to `compilePipeline.triggerReRender?.(obj, keyName)`
    via a hoisted `_cp` lookup that also covers the slice-23
    `withInTriggerReRender` wrap (avoids two bridge lookups on the
    notify hot path).
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/manager.ts: migrate four
    `(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender` reads — two inline calls
    inside the patched `recompute()` (L529 error-path + L544 happy-path),
    one capture-once at PROPERTY_DID_CHANGE override setup (L2054), one
    inline lookup in the args-dispatch loop (L2612). All migrated to
    `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.triggerReRender?.(...)`. Suppression
    semantics preserved by the slice-25 module-local
    `_gxtTriggerSuppressedFlag` short-circuit at the entry of
    `_gxtTriggerReRender` in compile.ts (no new infrastructure needed).
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: refresh
    `triggerReRender` doc with the slice-26 5-reader migration summary;
    refresh `withTriggerSuppressed` doc to reflect the post-slice-26
    remaining-reader inventory (manager.ts:5487, compile.ts three sites,
    validator.ts save-restore).

Bridge interface evolution (slice 26 — twentieth API change):
  No new methods; the existing `triggerReRender?(obj, keyName): void`
  (added in slice 15) and `withTriggerSuppressed?<T>(fn): T` (added in
  slice 17) gain new doc text describing the slice-26 contract extension.
  No new install API. The module-local `_gxtTriggerSuppressedFlag` from
  slice 25 already covers bridge readers — no change to that mechanism.

Hot-path concern: `__gxtTriggerReRender` is on the property-set hot path.
The slice-26 reader-migration adds one `getGxtRenderer()` call + optional-
chained `compilePipeline.triggerReRender` lookup per call (or one
capture-once at PROPERTY_DID_CHANGE setup at manager.ts:2054). Both are
similar cost to the pre-slice-26 globalThis-typeof check. The
`metal/property_events.ts:103` site hoists the `_cp` lookup so it is
shared with the `withInTriggerReRender` wrap, keeping the per-notify cost
to one bridge access.

Count delta: 0 new bridge methods (re-uses existing `triggerReRender`);
0 globalThis slot drops (writer retained); 0 new import edges (both
`metal/property_events.ts` and `gxt-backend/manager.ts` already import
`getGxtRenderer`). Cumulative across Cluster B: 26 slices migrated,
20 bridge API evolutions, -5 globalThis slots through slice 24,
5 cross-package + intra-package readers migrated to bridge in this slice.

Remaining `__gxtTriggerReRender` readers post-slice-26 (5 sites):
  - manager.ts:5487 — attrs proxy capture-once. INTRA-PACKAGE; SAFE.
  - compile.ts:6413/6472/6684 — three intra-file sites; trivial.
  - validator.ts:161-166 — save-restore suppression. SKIP until last
    (slice-17 territory; must stay until ALL readers + writer migrated).

Suggested slice 27: migrate the three compile.ts intra-file readers
(L6413/6472/6684) plus manager.ts:5487 in one slice — all four are
simple inline globalThis reads in mut cell update paths or attrs proxy
setup. That leaves only the validator.ts save-restore + the canonical
compile.ts writer for slice 28's writer-drop preparation.

…readers (compile.ts 3 intra-file + manager.ts:5514 attrs proxy) — Cluster B slice 27, leaving only 2 save-restore writers + canonical writer for slice 28

Continues the longest-runway Cluster B campaign (started in slice 25,
continued in slice 26): dropping the `globalThis.__gxtTriggerReRender`
writer at `compile.ts:3392`. Slice 27 migrates the FOUR remaining SAFE
readers off the globalThis slot, leaving ONLY the canonical writer and
two save-restore writers (manager.ts:11559-11564 first-render
suppression + validator.ts:161-166 track() reentrancy guard) for slice
28's writer-drop closer.

Reader+writer audit (post-slice-26, pre-slice-27):
  Cross-package readers: 0 remaining (all migrated in slices 25-26).
  Intra-package readers (4 sites — gxt-backend):
    - compile.ts:6413 — mut cell update path: dirty cells along property
      path + bump parent ctx.
    - compile.ts:6472 — mut cell update path: fallback re-render after
      Ember.set() short-circuit.
    - compile.ts:6684 — alt mut cell update path: dirty cells on `o`.
    - manager.ts:5487 — attrs proxy capture-once for triggerReRender
      (used at L5690-5691 and L5696 inside the closure body).
  Save-restore suppression sites (slice-28 territory; SKIP):
    - manager.ts:11549-11564 — first-render suppression for new classic
      components (save/null/restore around the FIRST render only).
    - validator.ts:161-166 — track() reentrancy guard (save/undefined/
      restore around the reactive tag bump).
  Writers (retained — slice 28 drops them):
    - compile.ts:3392 — canonical writer.
    - compile.ts:3404-3420 — `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed` save-restore
      pair (the helper for the slice-17 save-restore graduation).

Slice 27 selects all 4 SAFE readers in one batch (the slice-26 task
guidance noted that 4 trivial readers can land in one slice when the
shape is uniform; same uniformity argument holds here — three of the
four sites are inline reads with truthy-guard checks, and the fourth
is a capture-once mirroring slice-26's manager.ts:2054 shape):
  - compile.ts:6413 — migrated `(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender`
    raw-globalThis read to the module-local `_gxtTriggerReRender`
    function (direct intra-file call — preferred over the bridge
    `compilePipeline.triggerReRender` here because the function is in
    scope, avoiding the bridge lookup + optional-chain overhead and
    any theoretical install-order concern). The two call sites inside
    the closure body invoke the captured value through the existing
    truthy guard.
  - compile.ts:6472 — same shape as L6413 (intra-file direct call to
    `_gxtTriggerReRender`). Used in the fallback re-render path after
    Ember.set() short-circuit.
  - compile.ts:6684 — same shape (intra-file direct call). Used in the
    alternate mut cell update path.
  - manager.ts:5514 — migrated to `compilePipeline.triggerReRender`
    bridge method (capture-once at attrs-proxy setup). Mirrors
    slice-26's manager.ts:2054 PROPERTY_DID_CHANGE override capture-
    once shape. The bridge method is optional; when not installed
    `triggerReRenderForAttrs` is `undefined`, matching the pre-slice-27
    behavior (the truthy guards on the two call sites at L5690-5691
    and L5696 already skip undefined).

Per-site design defense:
  - The three compile.ts sites use DIRECT call to the module-local
    `_gxtTriggerReRender` function (declared at compile.ts:3337) rather
    than `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.triggerReRender?.(...)`
    because (a) the function is in lexical scope — no need for the
    bridge round-trip; (b) intra-file direct call avoids one
    `getGxtRenderer()` call + one optional-chain lookup per mut cell
    update; (c) intra-file direct call sidesteps any install-order
    concern (the bridge is module-init by the time mut cells run, but
    a direct call eliminates the question entirely). The suppression
    contract is preserved identically because `_gxtTriggerSuppressedFlag`
    (slice-25 module-local) is checked at the entry of
    `_gxtTriggerReRender` regardless of caller path.
  - The manager.ts:5514 site uses the BRIDGE call to match slice-26's
    manager.ts:2054 capture-once shape — both sites capture an
    optional bridge value and gate downstream use with truthy checks.
    Direct module-local function access isn't available from
    manager.ts (cross-file).

Sites moved:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: migrate three
    `(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender` reads (L6413/6472/6684)
    in mut cell update paths to direct calls of the module-local
    `_gxtTriggerReRender` function. Each site replaces
    `const triggerReRender = (globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender`
    with `const triggerReRender = _gxtTriggerReRender`.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/manager.ts: migrate the
    `(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender` capture-once at L5514
    (attrs proxy setup, used at L5690-5691 and L5696) to
    `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.triggerReRender`. Mirrors the
    slice-26 manager.ts:2054 PROPERTY_DID_CHANGE capture-once shape.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: refresh
    `triggerReRender` doc with the slice-27 4-reader migration summary
    (noting the per-site design decision — three direct intra-file
    calls + one bridge call); refresh `withTriggerSuppressed` doc to
    reflect the post-slice-27 remaining-reader inventory (only the two
    save-restore writers remain; canonical writer drops in slice 28).

Bridge interface evolution (slice 27 — twenty-first API change):
  No new methods; the existing `triggerReRender?(obj, keyName): void`
  (slice 15) and `withTriggerSuppressed?<T>(fn): T` (slice 17) gain
  new doc text describing the slice-27 contract extension. No new
  install API. The module-local `_gxtTriggerSuppressedFlag` from
  slice 25 already covers bridge readers — no change to that
  mechanism. The three direct-call sites benefit from the same flag
  because they call `_gxtTriggerReRender` which checks the flag at
  entry.

Hot-path concern: `__gxtTriggerReRender` is on the property-set hot
path. The three compile.ts direct-call sites have IDENTICAL cost to
pre-slice-27 (the globalThis-read is replaced with a function
reference read — same JS operation cost). The manager.ts:5514 capture-
once is identical cost to pre-slice-27 (one bridge lookup happens
once at attrs-proxy setup, not on each downstream call).

  - manager.ts:11549-11564 — first-render suppression save-restore
    writer (slice-28 routes through `withTriggerSuppressed(fn)`).
  - validator.ts:161-166 — track() reentrancy guard save-restore
    writer (slice-28 routes through `withTriggerSuppressed(fn)`).

Suggested slice 28: with all readers migrated (slices 25-27), slice 28
becomes the writer-drop closer. Route the two save-restore writers
(manager.ts:11549-11564 and validator.ts:161-166) through the existing
slice-17 `compilePipeline.withTriggerSuppressed(fn)` bridge helper,
then drop the canonical `globalThis.__gxtTriggerReRender =
_gxtTriggerReRender` writer at compile.ts:3392 AND the inline globalThis
save-restore at `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed` (compile.ts:3404-3420 —
the helper now only needs the module-local flag toggle since no
external readers consume the globalThis slot anymore). Net -1
globalThis slot, finally closing the longest-runway campaign.

…route save-restore writers through withTriggerSuppressed(fn), close longest-runway campaign (Cluster B slice 28)

Closes the longest-runway Cluster B campaign started in slice 25
(reader migration) and continued through slices 26-27. With every
reader migrated off the `(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender` slot,
slice 28 routes the remaining TWO save-restore writer sites through the
slice-17 `compilePipeline.withTriggerSuppressed(fn)` bridge helper and
DROPS the canonical `globalThis.__gxtTriggerReRender = _gxtTriggerReRender`
writer at compile.ts:3392. The `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed` helper is
simplified to module-local flag save/restore only. Net -1 globalThis
slot, finally closing the campaign.

Pre-slice-28 writer inventory (4 sites):
  - compile.ts:3392 — canonical writer (DROPPED this slice).
  - compile.ts:3404-3420 — `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed` helper body
    (simplified to module-local flag save/restore only; the inline
    globalThis save/clear/restore is dropped — no external readers).
  - manager.ts:11549-11564 — first-render suppression save-restore for
    new classic components (ROUTED through `withTriggerSuppressed(fn)`).
  - validator.ts:161-166 — track() reentrancy guard save-restore
    (ROUTED through `withTriggerSuppressed(fn)`).

Sites changed:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/manager.ts: replace inline
    `prevTriggerReRender = g.__gxtTriggerReRender; g.__gxtTriggerReRender
    = null; try { ... } finally { g.__gxtTriggerReRender =
    prevTriggerReRender; }` fallback in `renderClassicComponent` with
    branch on `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.withTriggerSuppressed`
    — bridge helper when installed, direct call otherwise. The now-
    unused `const g = globalThis as any;` declaration at
    `renderClassicComponent` entry is dropped (no other in-scope use).
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/validator.ts: drop inline
    `savedTrigger = g.__gxtTriggerReRender; g.__gxtTriggerReRender =
    undefined; try { ... } finally { ... }` fallback inside `track()`
    — bridge `withTriggerSuppressed(fn)` is the sole suppression
    surface. Branch on whether the bridge method is installed (avoid
    `?? _runTrack()` because `_runTrack` returns `undefined`, which
    would trigger double-invocation under the nullish-coalesce — found
    during gate verification).
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: delete
    `(globalThis as any).__gxtTriggerReRender = _gxtTriggerReRender;`
    writer (the canonical writer at L3392). Simplify
    `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed<T>(fn): T` to module-local flag
    save/restore only — the pre-slice-28 inline globalThis
    save/clear/restore is dropped (no external readers consume the
    slot anymore — all migrated in slices 25-27). The
    `_gxtTriggerSuppressedFlag` (slice-25 module-local) remains the
    single suppression surface checked at the entry of
    `_gxtTriggerReRender`.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: refresh
    `triggerReRender` and `withTriggerSuppressed` docs noting the
    slice-28 closer; refresh the top-of-file migration-history doc
    section for `__gxtTriggerReRender` to reflect the drop.

Per-site design defense:
  - The branch shape (`if (bridge) { bridge(fn) } else { fn() }`) is
    used at both save-restore writer sites instead of `?? fn()` because
    the wrapped function returns `void`/`undefined` in some paths. With
    `??` the JavaScript nullish-coalesce would treat `undefined` as
    a no-result and invoke `fn()` a SECOND time. This was caught during
    the computed-gate run (`Ember.arrayComputed - mixed sugar` test
    regressed with a `TypeError: Cannot read properties of null
    (reading 'pop')` thrown from `_runTrack`'s finally clause on the
    second invocation — `_trackingTagStack` had been set to `null` on
    the first invocation's exit). The explicit branch eliminates the
    double-call risk entirely while preserving the slice-17
    bridge-install fallback contract (helper is module-init by the
    time these sites run; the branch is defensive for the rare case
    when the bridge hasn't been installed).
  - The helper-body simplification keeps `_gxtTriggerSuppressedFlag`
    (slice-25 module-local) as the SINGLE suppression surface checked
    at `_gxtTriggerReRender`'s entry. No external readers, no
    globalThis touch — pure module-local state machine.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 28 — twenty-second API change):
  No new methods or new install API; this slice simplifies the
  semantics of the existing `withTriggerSuppressed?<T>(fn): T`
  (slice 17). Pre-slice-28 the helper additionally swapped
  `globalThis.__gxtTriggerReRender` to `undefined`; post-slice-28
  the swap is dropped and only the module-local flag is toggled.
  Caller contract is unchanged.

Hot-path concern: `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed` runs once per save-restore
writer call (first-render for new classic components; track() frame
for reactive tag bumping). Pre-slice-28 it did 2 globalThis writes +
2 module-local flag writes; post-slice-28 only the 2 module-local
flag writes remain — measurably cheaper, though both are noise on
non-hot paths.

Cumulative Cluster B `__gxtTriggerReRender` campaign (slices 25-28):
  Reader sites migrated: 9 cross-package + 3 intra-file = 12 readers.
    Slice 25 (2): metal/tracked.ts:308, glimmer-tracking.ts:63.
    Slice 26 (5): metal/property_events.ts:103, manager.ts:529,
      manager.ts:550, manager.ts:2054 (4 closure-body sites),
      manager.ts:2612.
    Slice 27 (4): compile.ts:6413, compile.ts:6481, compile.ts:6698,
      manager.ts:5514.
  Save-restore writer sites migrated: 2 (this slice).
    manager.ts:11549-11564 — first-render suppression.
    validator.ts:161-166 — track() reentrancy guard.
  Canonical writer dropped: 1 at compile.ts:3392 (this slice).
  Helper simplification: `_gxtWithTriggerSuppressed` lost the inline
  globalThis save/clear/restore (still has the module-local flag
  save/restore from slice 25).
  Net globalThis slots: -1 (the `__gxtTriggerReRender` slot is fully
  retired post-slice-28).

remaining `(globalThis as any).__gxt*` surface area (per slice-24
inventory and observed grep results): `__gxtModifierInstallWatchers`
(referenced at compile.ts:3430 — Map keyed by modifier instance,
read on every triggerReRender), `__gxtTrackedSetSinceRerender` (slice
15 contributor — flag toggled by ember-gxt-wrappers.ts BEFORE-hook),
or `__gxtPoolReuseWithChangesCycleId` (instance-stamp marker for
compile.ts fallback). Prefer the smallest-surface campaign first;
`__gxtTrackedSetSinceRerender` is the leanest (1 writer in
ember-gxt-wrappers.ts BEFORE-hook + 1 reader in glimmer renderer).

…onsume bridge pair, drop globalThis slot (Cluster B slice 29)

Slice 29 opens the post-slice-28 campaign chain with the leanest available
target: the 1-writer / 1-reader `__gxtTrackedSetSinceRerender` flag, both
sites intra-file in `ember-gxt-wrappers.ts`. The flag detects whether a
tracked write occurred since the last `UpdatingVM.execute` so the patched
execute can force `alwaysRevalidate=true` for that one call (recompute
every childRef, flushing stale cached values from out-of-cycle tracked
writes — see `ember-gxt-wrappers.ts:2780-2803`).

Pre-slice-29 inventory:
  - Writer (1 site): `ember-gxt-wrappers.ts:2853` — inside the slice-15
    BEFORE-trigger-rerender hook body (registered via
    `compilePipeline.addBeforeTriggerReRender`). Set to `true` on every
    `triggerReRender` invocation.
  - Reader (1 site): `ember-gxt-wrappers.ts:2814-2815` — inside the
    `UpdatingVM.prototype.execute` patch (`__gxtEmberPatchedAlwaysRevalidate`
    install). Inline `if (g.x) { g.x = false; ... }` check+clear.

Sites changed:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: add module-local
    `_gxtTrackedSetSinceRerenderFlag` + `_gxtMarkTrackedSetSinceRerender()`
    + `_gxtConsumeTrackedSetSinceRerender(): boolean` (atomic
    check-and-clear). Register both in `installCompilePipelinePart` as
    `markTrackedSetSinceRerender` / `consumeTrackedSetSinceRerender`.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/ember-gxt-wrappers.ts: writer
    now calls `cp.markTrackedSetSinceRerender?.()` from inside the
    BEFORE-trigger-rerender host hook (the hook only registers AFTER the
    bridge install is complete, so `cp` is guaranteed defined; `?.`
    matches the optional-method protocol typing). Reader replaced with
    `const sawTrackedSet =
    getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.consumeTrackedSetSinceRerender?.()
    ?? false; if (sawTrackedSet) { ... }` — bridge-not-yet-installed edge
    falls through to "no force revalidate" (preserves pre-slice-29
    behavior for executes that race ahead of the deferred Promise
    install).
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: extend
    `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` with TWO new optional methods
    (`markTrackedSetSinceRerender?(): void` +
    `consumeTrackedSetSinceRerender?(): boolean`). Refresh the slice-15
    docblock (writer doc now references `markTrackedSetSinceRerender()`
    instead of the dropped globalThis slot) and the top-of-interface
    migration-history docblock with the slice-29 closure entry.

Bridge shape decision: mark+consume (2 methods) rather than the get/set/with
triple used by slices 17/18/20/22/23/24. The reader's usage is exactly
"check, clear, branch" — never a read without clearing, and never a paired
save-restore (the flag has a single semantic owner — the consume-side resets
it after observing). Folding "check + clear" into a single `consume` bridge
call expresses the atomic semantics that pre-slice-29 the reader open-coded.

Namespace decision: `compilePipeline`. The flag's canonical state lives in
`compile.ts` alongside the other compilePipeline state flags introduced in
slices 17-24 — same namespace pattern.

Bridge interface evolution (slice 29 — twenty-third API change):
`GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with `markTrackedSetSinceRerender`
+ `consumeTrackedSetSinceRerender` — paired mark+consume shape, distinct
from the slice-22-style `with/is` paired shape.

Hot-path concern: the reader is on the per-`UpdatingVM.execute` hot path
(every Glimmer execute calls it once). Pre-slice-29 cost was 1 globalThis
read + (conditionally) 1 globalThis write. Post-slice-29 cost is 1 bridge
method call which dereferences the renderer and the compilePipeline (two
property reads) plus 1 module-local read + 1 module-local write. Marginally
more property accesses but no allocations and stays well within the
existing call's overhead (the patched `execute` already does
`Function.prototype.apply` per call). The writer is on the per-
`triggerReRender` hot path; same observation applies symmetrically.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green):
  - smoke:                              333/333
  - Errors thrown during render:        4/4
  - Tracked Properties:                 33/36 (baseline)
  - computed:                           147/148 (baseline)
  - Lifecycle:                          40/42 (baseline)
  - render:                             977/981 (baseline)

Count delta: +2 new bridge methods (`markTrackedSetSinceRerender` +
`consumeTrackedSetSinceRerender`); -1 globalThis slot
(`__gxtTrackedSetSinceRerender` retired). Cumulative across Cluster B (all
29 slices): 29 slices migrated, 23 bridge API evolutions, -7 globalThis
slots cumulatively.

Remaining `__gxtTrackedSetSinceRerender` consumers post-slice-29:
  - Zero. Slot is fully retired.

Suggested slice 30: candidates by remaining `(globalThis as any).__gxt*`
surface (per slice-28 inventory): `__gxtModifierInstallWatchers` (Map keyed
by modifier instance, referenced at `compile.ts:3430` — read on every
triggerReRender path) or `__gxtPoolReuseWithChangesCycleId` (instance-stamp
marker for compile.ts fallback). The modifier-install-watchers Map has
broader surface (Map read+write per modifier install) and unclear
1-writer/1-reader topology — should audit writer/reader site count first.
The pool-reuse cycle-id stamp is an integer counter with intra-file
read+write topology likely simpler. Recommend slice 30 starts with a fresh
audit of both and selects the leaner site count, following the slice-28
"prefer smallest-surface campaign first" rule.

…ad-only bridge getter, drop globalThis slot (Cluster B slice 30)

Slice 30 graduates the canonical sync-cycle counter from the pre-slice-30
`globalThis.__gxtSyncCycleId` integer slot to a module-local
`_gxtSyncCycleId` in `compile.ts`, paired with a single read-only bridge
method `compilePipeline.getSyncCycleId(): number`. The canonical writer at
`__gxtSyncDomNow` (compile.ts:~5531) is intra-file and uses the new
`_gxtIncrementSyncCycleId()` directly (not exposed via the bridge — the
counter has exactly one canonical writer, which is intra-file by
construction).

Pre-slice-30 inventory:
  - Writer (1 site, intra-file): `compile.ts:5531` inside `__gxtSyncDomNow`
    — `(g.__gxtSyncCycleId = (g.__gxtSyncCycleId || 0) + 1)`.
  - Readers (14 sites total):
    - 5 intra-file `compile.ts` (L4100, L4616, L5076, L5185, L9411) — used
      uniform `(g.__gxtSyncCycleId || 0)` truthy-coerce pattern.
    - 8 intra-package `gxt-backend/manager.ts` (L1373, L3753, L4552, L8553,
      L8685, L8962, L9143, L11293) — same uniform pattern.
    - 1 cross-package `glimmer/lib/renderer.ts:1040` — same uniform
      pattern.

Sites changed:
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/compile.ts: add module-local
    `_gxtSyncCycleId` counter + `_gxtIncrementSyncCycleId(): number` writer
    + `_gxtGetSyncCycleId(): number` reader. Writer at `__gxtSyncDomNow`
    body now calls `_gxtIncrementSyncCycleId()` (intra-file direct). The 5
    intra-file readers now call `_gxtGetSyncCycleId()` directly (slice-27
    precedent: intra-file readers route to the module-local function for
    one less property access per call vs. the bridge). Register
    `getSyncCycleId: _gxtGetSyncCycleId` in `installCompilePipelinePart`.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/manager.ts: 8 reader sites now
    call `getGxtRenderer()?.compilePipeline.getSyncCycleId?.() ?? 0`. The
    `?? 0` default preserves the pre-slice-30 truthy-coerce-undefined-to-0
    semantics exactly for the bridge-not-yet-installed edge. At L1372 the
    hoisted `_cp1373` shares the bridge access between the slice-24
    `isSyncing()` predicate and the slice-30 `getSyncCycleId()` reader
    (same `_cp`-hoist pattern as slice 25/26).
  - packages/@ember/-internals/glimmer/lib/renderer.ts: cross-package
    reader at L1040 routes through the bridge with the same shape as the
    manager.ts sites.
  - packages/@ember/-internals/gxt-backend/gxt-bridge.ts: extend
    `GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` with ONE new optional method
    (`getSyncCycleId?(): number`). Add a full docblock describing the
    slice-30 migration: pre-slice-30 topology, bridge shape decision
    (read-only single-method getter — no setter / no increment helper
    exposed because the writer is always intra-file), namespace decision
    (`compilePipeline` — colocated with other compilePipeline state from
    slices 17-29), bridge-not-yet-installed edge (`?? 0` preserves
    truthy-coerce-undefined-to-0). Refresh the top-of-interface migration-
    history docblock with the slice-30 closure entry and the slice-12
    docblock at L515 / L530 to remove `__gxtSyncCycleId` from the
    globalThis-shared state list.

Bridge shape decision: read-only single-method getter
(`getSyncCycleId(): number`). First slice to expose a read-only INTEGER
bridge method — slices 19/20/22 exposed read-only BOOLEAN predicates
(`isRendering`, `isSyncing`, `isCurrentlyRendering`); slice 30 is the
integer-getter analogue. Reader-only by design: external consumers can
observe the counter but not advance it. No save-restore variant is exposed
(no caller needs to temporarily rewind the counter — `withSyncCycleId(fn)`
would be unused).

Namespace decision: `compilePipeline`. The counter's canonical state lives
in `compile.ts` alongside the slice-29 `_gxtTrackedSetSinceRerenderFlag`,
the slice-24 `_gxtSyncingFlag`, the slice-22 `_gxtCurrentlyRenderingFlag`,
the slice-25 `_gxtTriggerSuppressedFlag`. Same namespace pattern.

Intra-file direct call (sub-shape 1a) vs. bridge: the 5 compile.ts readers
call `_gxtGetSyncCycleId()` directly (intra-file precedent from slice 27).
The 9 cross-file readers (8 in manager.ts + 1 in glimmer/renderer.ts) call
the bridge. This is the same intra-file-direct / cross-file-bridge split
documented in slice 27 — extends the pattern to slice-30's counter
topology.

Hot-path concern: readers run on every modifier handle/update path,
every conditional collapse propagation, every lifecycle hook gating. Pre-
slice-30 cost per read was 1 globalThis property access + truthy-coerce.
Post-slice-30 intra-file cost is 1 module-local variable read (faster).
Cross-file cost is 1 bridge access (renderer + compilePipeline property
reads) + 1 method call + 1 module-local read (marginally more but well
within the existing call's overhead). Writer cost decreases (1 increment
vs. truthy-coerce + add + write).

Bridge interface evolution (slice 30 — twenty-fourth API change):
`GxtCompilePipelineCapabilities` extended with `getSyncCycleId` — read-only
integer-getter shape, distinct from the read-only-boolean-predicate shape
of slices 19/20/22.

Verification (all 6 baseline gates green):
  - smoke:                              333/333
  - Errors thrown during render:        4/4
  - Tracked Properties:                 33/36 (baseline)
  - computed:                           147/148 (baseline)
  - Lifecycle:                          40/42 (baseline)
  - render:                             977/981 (baseline)

Count delta: +1 new bridge method (`getSyncCycleId`); -1 globalThis slot
(`__gxtSyncCycleId` retired). Cumulative across Cluster B (all 30 slices):
30 slices migrated, 24 bridge API evolutions, -8 globalThis slots
cumulatively.

Remaining `__gxtSyncCycleId` consumers post-slice-30:
  - Zero. Slot is fully retired.

Suggested slice 31: candidates by remaining `(globalThis as any).__gxt*`
counter / id-stamp surface — likely targets include
`__gxtSyncAllInFlightPass` / `__gxtSyncAllInFlightCycle` (integer
counters paired with `__gxtSyncAllWrappers`, written by the relocated
manager.ts body L3751-3754 + L3719-3733 and read across modifier-firing
paths) or `__gxtPoolReuseWithChangesCycleId` (instance-stamp marker for
compile.ts pool-reuse fallback). Both have similar read-only-counter
topology to slice 30 and could land in 1-2 slices using the same
`getSyncCycleId`-style read-only-integer bridge shape pattern. Recommend
auditing both writer/reader counts and picking the leaner one first.
