fix(html): keep minifying a document the round-trip guard checks - #21842
Conversation
The printer verifies a handful of parse shapes by re-parsing its own output and comparing tree digests, but compared them byte for byte — so collapsed whitespace, a dropped comment, a minified inline sheet and a respelled attribute value all read as a moved node, and the whole document came back unminified. A nested list item is enough to turn the guard on, which is most nav menus and every rendered Markdown list. Digest both trees the way the print leaves them instead; a node that really moves still reshapes the tree and still hands the source back. Alongside it, in the CSS minifier: `flex` and the four logical `border-<edge>` shorthands now merge out of their longhands — the edges state their grammar as `<'border-top'>`, so the generator follows that reference rather than listing them, and Chromium says both reset nothing their longhands do not, where `border` itself clears every `border-image-*` and so stays out. Two printing costs go with them: whether a sibling opens an `@layer` block is read off the node rather than off its printed text, which had flattened every rule's rope at every nesting level, and the print store grows in place rather than copying what it already holds at each step.

CSS shorthand data generation tooling/generate-css-data.js, lib/css/data.js |
The CSS data generator adds logical border families and ordered flex shorthand metadata to generated merge tables. |
CSS shorthand merging lib/css/syntax.js, test/CssSyntax.unittest.js, test/configCases/css/* |
CSS merging supports ordered flex values, flex shortening, logical border shorthands, and node-aware named-layer filtering. Tests cover successful and declined merges. |
HTML round-trip validation lib/html/syntax.js, lib/util/SourceProcessor.js, test/HtmlSyntax.unittest.js, test/configCases/html/* |
The HTML digest now reflects printer-permitted output. Deferred writes are resolved before comparison, print caches are cleared, and round-trip tests cover fostered content and embedded SVG. |
Comparison tooling and release metadata tooling/compare-html-minifiers.js, eslint.config.mjs, .changeset/010-css-html-minify.md, CHANGELOG.md |
The comparison tool adds default and aggressive html-minifier-next entries through dynamic ESM loading. ESLint and release metadata describe the updates. |

An `<svg>` subtree, an inline `<style>` and an `<iframe srcdoc>` print as a marker for an asynchronous renderer to answer, so the guard's re-parse read text where the node stood and handed the whole document back unminified.

…stic The config case reached the deferred path only where the minimizer plugin handed the renderer through, so its snapshot recorded a transform CI never applied. A `processAsync` unit test drives the same guard directly.
The release commit wrote a code span prettier respaces, so `fmt:check` fails on every branch grown from it. Same fix as #21842; it no-ops once main carries it.
Summary
The HTML printer checks a few parse shapes by re-parsing its own output and comparing tree digests, but compared them byte for byte — so collapsed whitespace, a dropped comment, a minified inline sheet and a respelled attribute value each read as a moved node, and the whole document was handed back unminified. A nested list item is enough to turn the guard on, so a nav menu or any rendered Markdown list was not minified at all (webpack's own README −5.0% raw / −2.4% gzip once it is, CHANGELOG −7.2% / −1.5%, a page with Bootstrap inlined beside a nested list −18.2% / −7.4%; documents with no such shape are byte-identical). Both trees are now digested the way minifying leaves them, so an equal digest says the print moved nothing rather than changed nothing, and a node that really moves still hands the source back. Alongside it:
flexand the four logicalborder-<edge>CSS shorthands merge out of their longhands — the edges state their grammar as<'border-top'>, so the generator follows that reference rather than listing them, and headless Chromium confirms both reset nothing their longhands do not, whereborderitself clears everyborder-image-*and so stays out. Two printing costs go with them: whether a sibling opens an@layerblock is read off the node instead of its printed text, which had flattened every rule's rope at every nesting level (_namedLayerOpener3.0–3.3% of CPU self time to 0.3% over Bulma), and the print store grows in place rather than copying what it already holds at each step.What kind of change does this PR introduce?
fix
Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes — new blocks in
test/HtmlSyntax.unittest.js(the guarded shapes are minified, settle on a second pass, and a print that would move a node still falls back) andtest/CssSyntax.unittest.js(the ordered and logical-edge merges, and the cases they decline), plustest/configCases/html/minimize-round-trip, whose corpus now covers a nested list and fails if any document comes back byte-identical.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No. Minified output changes where the guard used to discard it, and three CSS longhands now print as their shorthand; both compute identically.
If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
n/a — no option, schema or public API surface changes.
Use of AI
AI (Claude Code) was used throughout: to locate the digest as the cause via the
benchmark:html-minifierstables, to write the change and its tests, to derive the logical-edge shorthands frommdn-dataintooling/generate-css-data.js, and to run the verification quoted above — the headless-Chromium reset check for every merged shorthand and the CPU-profile attribution for the@layerread. Every claim in this description was measured rather than estimated; the author reviewed the diff.Generated by Claude Code
