Fix .prototype pollution on JSC by passing JSClass to JSObjectMakeConstructor (#177)
[Created by Copilot on behalf of @bghgary] ## Context Closes #172. JSC's `JSObjectMakeConstructor` defaults the constructor's `.prototype` property to the global `Object.prototype` when invoked with a null `JSClassRef`, then installs it with the `ReadOnly` attribute. That gives us two distinct bugs: 1. **Pollution.** Every napi-defined class shares `Object.prototype`. Writing to `Foo.prototype.x` mutates `Object.prototype.x`; `{} instanceof Foo` returns `true` for every class. 2. **Silent failure on retry.** The `ReadOnly` bit means `JSObjectSetProperty(constructor, "prototype", ...)` cannot overwrite the default afterward — the write is silently dropped (or throws in strict mode). ## Fix Pass the existing per-constructor `JSClassRef` — the one we already create for the sentinel — into `JSObjectMakeConstructor`. WebKit then assigns a fresh per-class `JSCallbackObject` (built from the class's auto-generated `prototypeClass`) as `.prototype`, sidestepping both bugs at the source. The vestigial "extra prototype" hack in `ConstructorInfo::Create` — kept since #101 with a TODO to remove — goes away. Two ancillary call sites needed a small update because they were reading the `[[Prototype]]` internal slot when they meant the `.prototype` property: - `CallAsConstructor` chains `instance.__proto__` from `constructor.prototype` (the property), not `constructor.__proto__` (the slot = `Function.prototype`). - `napi_define_class` installs instance properties on `constructor.prototype` via `napi_get_named_property`. `napi_get_prototype` keeps its N-API-spec contract of returning the `[[Prototype]]` slot and is unchanged. ## Tests Added a `napi class prototype isolation` describe block using `Blob` (a napi-defined class available on every engine). Six invariants — all standard JS semantics that V8/Chakra already satisfy and that JSC fails today: - `Blob.prototype !== Object.prototype` - `Object.getPrototypeOf(Blob.prototype) === Object.prototype` - `Blob.prototype.constructor === Blob` - `Object.getPrototypeOf(new Blob([])) === Blob.prototype` (and `instanceof` true) - `({} instanceof Blob) === false` - Writes to `Blob.prototype` do not appear on `{}` ## Lifecycle note `JSCallbackConstructor` does not invoke the JSClass `finalize` callback; only `JSCallbackObject` does. The auto-prototype WebKit builds from `_class->prototype()` uses a separate `prototypeClass` that explicitly clears `finalize`. So sharing `_class` between the constructor, the sentinel, and the auto-prototype carries no double-free risk — only the sentinel ever calls `Finalize` on our `info` pointer. --------- Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
