Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the WebAssembly GC object specification and implementation entry points for [[PreventExtensions]] and [[IsExtensible]], then inspect existing coverage for Object.preventExtensions(). Done means GC objects return true from [[PreventExtensions]] and the behavior is covered by the relevant test suite.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
GC object are already non-extensible ([[IsExtensible]] returns true). Preventing extensions on a non-extensible object should be an no-op.
By returning false to [[PreventExtensions]], any caller to Object.preventExtensions() would get a thrown TypeError even though the object is already non-extensible, which is surprising (even though it is not technically a violation of the object invariants).
To avoid this surprising behavior, WASM Garbage Collected Objects should return true for [[PreventExtensions]].
