Use IdentityHashMap lookup instead of AST mutation. 2. join() with LIST argument was compiling elements in scalar context instead of list context, causing array arguments to return count instead of elements.

This is the root cause of ExifTool WriteExif failures -- WriteExif.pl uses goto NoWrite to jump within a loop body across if/elsif branches. Now the bytecode compiler tracks label PCs (gotoLabelPcs map) and emits direct GOTO instructions for intra-function jumps, with forward reference patching for labels not yet seen.

Glock" Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2026 14:37:28 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 5/5] Fix utime flaky test: sanitize filenames with embedded NUL characters UtimeOperator was passing filenames with embedded NUL directly to native utimes(), causing flaky behavior when the NUL-truncated path happened to exist. Use RuntimeIO.sanitizePathname() to strip trailing NULs and reject embedded NULs with a warning, matching the behavior already used by open, glob, and unlink.
