Summary

A loose script keeps binding names that strict mode rejects, so acorn accepts them, but emitting the module as ES module output makes the whole bundle fail to parse — previously with no diagnostic at all. This extends strictModeViolations to bindings named eval/arguments, the strict-mode reserved words, and await (reserved by the module goal, so it gets its own message), covering variable declarations, function/class declaration names, named function expressions and catch parameters. Refs #17121, and closes the gap left by #21387/#21434.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

fix

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes — test/configCases/parsing/strict-mode-module-output-bindings (12 diagnostics across every binding form), plus an added expectation in strict-mode-module-output-semantics-future-defaults, where shadowing arguments is itself a strict-mode SyntaxError.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No — reported as warnings by default, errors only under experiments.futureDefaults, and suppressible with strictModeViolations: false.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

Extend the strictModeViolations note with the binding-name diagnostics.

Use of AI

Yes. Claude Code was used to enumerate the strict-mode early errors from the spec, build fixtures proving each one breaks the emitted bundle, implement the checks and write the tests; I reviewed the diff and verified the runs before submitting.

Note

Medium Risk
Touches hot parse paths in JavascriptParser for every binding form when ESM output is enabled; behavior is gated by strictModeViolations and only affects loose modules emitted as strict ESM.

Overview
Extends strictModeViolations so loose source that would fail to parse once emitted as strict ES module output gets a warning or error instead of a silent broken bundle.

JavascriptParser now flags binding names that strict mode or module goal reject: eval, arguments, strict reserved words (static, yield, package, etc.), and await (with a distinct module-goal message). Checks run when _strictInModuleOutput is set—variable and destructuring declarations, function/class declaration names, parameters (including arrows), catch bindings, named function expressions, class expressions, and IIFE paths that bypass walkFunctionExpression. Parameter checking also covers reserved words and await, not only eval/arguments.

Diagnostics still honor strictModeViolations (warn vs error vs off). A new config-case asserts the expected warnings; strict-mode-module-output-semantics-future-defaults adds an expectation that shadowing arguments is reported as an invalid binding.

Parameters and named class expressions are bindings too, so the same names
break there: a loose script accepts `function f(static)` and
`var C = class await {}`, but ES module output rejects both.
