Here’s a quick release with a GumJS bug-fix, a small API improvement, and a compiler type bump. Big thanks to vfsfitvnm and Francesco Tamagni for the GumJS improvements:

gumjs: Fix NativeCallback returning structs. The libffi closure result path for FFI_TYPE_STRUCT was unimplemented and would hit g_assert_not_reached(). We now walk struct return values, including nested structs, and copy each leaf field’s natural bytes into the return buffer. The QuickJS and V8 callback invokers also size their temporary return buffer from rtype->size, so structs fit as expected. Thanks to @vfsfitvnm for the fix.
gumjs: Extend Memory.alloc() with an optional protection field on the options object, defaulting to "rw" to preserve existing behavior. This makes it possible to allocate page-aligned executable memory in environments where memory cannot be flipped from rw to rx, such as non-jailbroken iOS 26+. Thanks to @mrmacete.
compiler: Bump @types/frida-gum to 19.1.0.
