Summary

rgb() cuts its arguments on whitespace, , and / without recording which separator stood where, so rgb(1, 2 3), rgb(1 2 3, .5), rgb(1, 2, 3 / .5), rgb(1 2 3 .5) and rgb(1 / 2 / 3) all folded to a color — declarations an engine drops, so folding them changed what rendered. This is what #22242 fixed for hsl(), hwb() and the Lab family; rgb() was left out because it reads its arguments through a scanner of its own, so it now applies the same two grammars that change added.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

fix

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes — five cases in test/configCases/css/minimize-colors/style.css (.c01–.c05), covering both valid grammars, each mixed spelling, and rgba().

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No — only spellings that are invalid CSS stop folding.

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

n/a

Use of AI

AI was used: it found the defect while addressing a review comment on #22242, reproduced each spelling against the unmodified parser, wrote the fix and the fixtures, and verified that every valid spelling still folds and yarn test:invariants:css reports no findings.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved CSS color minification for comma-separated and space-separated rgb()/rgba() formats.
    • Prevents mixed or invalid color syntax from being minified into declarations that browsers may discard.
    • Correctly folds unitless channels in hsl() and hwb() only when separators are valid.
    • Ensures rgba() follows the same grammar rules as rgb(), producing consistent and safer output across supported color syntaxes.

`_minifyColorFunction` cuts on whitespace, `,` and `/` in one pass without
recording which separator stood where, so every spelling collapsed to the
same argument list: `rgb(1, 2 3)`, `rgb(1 2, 3)`, `rgb(1 2 3, .5)`,
`rgb(1, 2, 3 / .5)`, `rgb(1 2 3 .5)` and `rgb(1 / 2 / 3)` all folded to a
color. Each is a declaration an engine drops, so folding it changed what
rendered.

This is the defect #22242 fixed for `hsl()`, `hwb()` and the Lab family,
left out of that change because `rgb()` reads its arguments through a
scanner of its own. The same two grammars decide it — the modern `A B C`
with an optional `/ D`, and the legacy `A, B, C` with an optional `, D`,
both of which `rgb()` has — so the check is the pair of regexps that change
already added, applied after the scan rather than before it, where only a
plausible color reaches it.

The pending changeset for #22242 covers this, so it is widened rather than
duplicated.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The CSS color minifier now validates RGB and RGBA argument grammar before folding. Mixed separators remain unchanged. The syntax-printer test now verifies installed phases against PHASES.

CSS color grammar handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
RGB and RGBA grammar validation
lib/css/syntax-parser.js, test/configCases/css/minimize-colors/style.css, .changeset/037-css-unitless-hsl-hwb-channels.md
_minifyColorFunction validates joined arguments against legacy and modern grammars. Mixed-separator RGB and RGBA cases remain unfolded. Tests and the changeset describe the grammar behavior.

Printer phase validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Printer phase installation test
test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.js
The test imports PHASES and verifies that declared phases are installed on terser. The Deno-specific empty-phase assertion was removed.

Comment thread .changeset/037-css-unitless-hsl-hwb-channels.md Outdated
The union of the two color fixes ran to 148 characters, where
`.changeset/**` asks for one imperative sentence of 80 or fewer. Both
facts still fit: the unitless channels that now fold, and the separator
grammar that decides whether anything folds at all.

Generated code size

Comparing base (e2023b0) to head (aae0cba). Merging this pull request moves 1 asset(s) whose tests it edits too.

What moved Tests Assets Gzip Raw Test edit

Read Changed, test untouched first: the test is byte-identical on both sides, so webpack generated the difference. Changed, test edited moved partly because the test did — Test edit is how many bytes the test gained, and a bundle that grew by less is not a regression. New and Deleted are whole files, not deltas, so adding tests cannot bury a real change. Gzip decides, because that is what users download; raw is the tiebreak, and brotli and zstd are per asset below.

No asset with an untouched test changed size — every change below comes with a test this pull request edited.

No runtime gained or lost a runtime module.

Built test/configCases with the defaults a user gets: 2240 test(s), 8087 asset(s), 96 emitted nothing.

`should install onto terser` asserted that under Deno `phases` is empty,
because Deno could not import terser's own sources when the test was
written. It sometimes can, and then the test fails — it went red once on
#22243, a pull request touching only CSS fixtures, and cost a re-run of a
21-minute job to establish it was not that change's doing.

Which sources a runtime reaches is the one thing `load` is written to
tolerate: it catches any failure and hands back terser's published entry
point. So the runtime is the wrong thing to assert. What `load` owes
everywhere is that it installed phases this build declares and nothing
else, and Node, which always reaches the sources, still owes the whole
set — both of which this now states.

The fallback path stays covered by behaviour rather than by a hardcoded
outcome: every `should mangle exactly as terser does` case compares
webpack's `minify` against terser's own, whichever way `load` resolved.
