Summary

webpack's printer wrote what terser writes over the whole corpus, so this makes it the minifier: jsMinify.js loads it for every asset, the branch that read the user's own terser goes, and so do the printer option that chose between them and the futureDefaults default that turned it on. Nothing in lib/ loads terser or names it any more — its options, its answer and its minify are typed here, so types.d.ts no longer reads that package, and a node class is named for what it is: CallNode, BinaryNode, SyntaxNode for the root, ParsedToken for a token.

Stacked on #22392, whose commits this carries; the first three here are its.

One bug found on the way: a bigint kept the separators it was written with, where the tokenizer drops them.

input output
before sink(123_456_789n) sink(123_456_789n);
after sink(123_456_789n) sink(123456789n);

That is five groups of the test262 corpus back to byte for byte terser's.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

refactor

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes — a bigint written with separators and each radix in test/unitCases/syntax-printer.unittest.js; test/helpers/terserSources.js lets terser's classes answer to webpack's names where a test holds a port to terser's own modules, and test/specCases/test262.spectest.js builds each case once now that one minifier runs it.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No. The options stay the ones the minimizer already took; printer is accepted and ignored, to be removed in the next major.

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

Documented here in docs/syntax.md: the printer minifies every asset, and the parser factory under its own name. Nothing for the website — no option changed.

Use of AI

Claude Code wrote this change under my direction: the terser removal, the renaming and the bigint fix, each held to the corpus differential (yarn test:minify-corpora), the 302 printer unit tests and yarn lint. I reviewed the diff and the measurements before pushing.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Behavior Changes
    • JavaScript minification now consistently uses webpack’s printer instead of Terser.
    • Webpack’s parser processes JavaScript statements by default; Terser’s parser handles inputs webpack’s parser refuses or interprets differently.
    • Existing JavaScript minification options, including legacy output-format settings, continue to apply.
    • Enabling futureDefaults no longer automatically adds a printer option to JavaScript minifier settings.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the JavaScript syntax documentation to describe minification, parser behavior, and corpus comparisons.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

JavaScript minification now always uses webpack’s syntax printer. The default minimizer configuration no longer adds printer: true under futureDefaults. Parser hooks, documentation, changesets, and tests were updated.

Changes

JavaScript minifier migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parser, minifier, and plugin routing
lib/javascript/syntax-parser.js, lib/javascript/jsMinify.js, lib/config/defaults.js, docs/syntax.md, .changeset/*
The parser calls the optional onTokenRead callback as it advances tokens. jsMinify always loads webpack’s syntax printer, and the default minimizer configuration uses the updated JavaScript options. Documentation and changesets describe the printer-based path.
Printer parser and AST comparisons
test/helpers/terserSources.js, test/unitCases/syntax-printer*
Tests account for AST naming differences between webpack’s syntax printer and Terser. Printer comparisons use compatible parse options and cover additional syntax cases. The former syntax-printer parse test suite was removed.
Minifier configuration and unit test updates
test/helpers/swcSmaller.js, test/helpers/oxcSmaller.js, test/unitCases/Defaults.unittest.js, test/unitCases/jsMinify.unittest.js, test/unitCases/Parser.unittest.js, test/unitCases/Stats.unittest.js
Unit tests update expectations for minimizer defaults, package-version reporting, parser options, asset sizes, and SWC/OXC comparison source lists.
Shared minified Test262 mode
test/specCases/test262.spectest.js
Test262 uses one minified production mode and a shared expected-failure map. Cases that pass despite being listed as failures are collected and reported together.
Corpus reference differences
test/specCases/minify-corpora.spectest.js
The corpus test records allowlisted Terser parse refusals and reference misprints. Unlisted mismatches continue to fail, and the test checks that each allowlisted entry occurs.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Refactor

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 62e27

The parser retains token callbacks, and the corpus comparison still reports unlisted size regressions. No identified issue remains to resolve before merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e8b9e

The backend change affects all JavaScript assets using the default minifier. No introduced security vulnerability was established in the inspected paths, but cache integration and worker recovery remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The directly affected scope is JavaScript build assets processed through jsMinify. Defaults and the exported filter restrict filename-based JavaScript dispatch, while the language hook also identifies embedded JavaScript. Enforcement by the external worker dispatcher remains unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The production loader selects a fixed webpack module and initializes the printer before passing asset text to minification. Asset contents are not used to choose the module or install its phases.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — A printer-initialization failure can affect later assets using the same loaded module because the rejected promise is reused. No asset-controlled trigger for initialization failure was established, so this is a failure-containment fact rather than a verified denial-of-service attack path.
  • observed — Caller-supplied name caches are deliberately mutable across invocations: normalization can replace their property tables with maps, and successful result assembly exports updated mappings. Their ownership should not be confused with invocation-local AST and compressor state.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Verify the external minimizer’s cache-version consumption, per-filter worker dispatch, and worker-replacement behavior after printer initialization fails. These checks would close the remaining integration and recovery gaps.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve onTokenRead on the fast-construction path.

When an eligible WebpackParser fast-construction shape uses lazyNodes: true and supplies onTokenRead, getFastConstructionShape() accepts it, but cloneNormalizedOptions() omits the callback. This leaves this.options.onTokenRead unset, so this hook skips every token. Exclude callback-bearing options from the fast path or preserve the callback in each instance’s normalized options.

…ed tree

`createModules` builds the parser, so `minify` reads a source into the
printer's nodes by itself. The `parse` phase still parsed every source into
webpack's ESTree tree first and converted that, so a minify built two trees
and the converter's offset, token, value and comment-gap tables, then
dropped the first tree.

Dropping the phase takes `createTerserTree` and its tables with it. On an
8.8 MiB asset, minify peaks 1443.8 -> 1193.0 MiB with the default options
and 745.7 -> 606.7 with compress off; a production build of that asset goes
1662 -> 1444 MiB. Time is unchanged, except on a source the conversion
refused, which paid for a parse it threw away: 15.9 -> 8.6 s there. Output
is byte-identical, and `estree` still converts a tree given or asked for.
terser walks the whole tree after the last compress pass too, for a
convergence verdict it then drops. The output is byte for byte the same.
The printer's tree is built by webpack's parser as it finishes each
statement, with that parser's tokens and comments, so an asset is read by
one parser rather than two. terser's parser stays behind it for what it
reads its own way: an expression, `strict`, TypeScript, a line opening an
HTML comment, and a source webpack's parser refuses.

A token is built only when a node is first given one. The parser reports
every token at its deepest, where frames are what it has least of, so
nothing is built there: the offsets, kinds and line breaks go into arrays,
and the comments of a gap into the list the tokens on both sides share,
which is one empty list wherever a gap holds none.

Output is byte for byte terser's over the 180 corpus cases and the 288
printer tests. Peak on a real bundle, minified with compress and mangle:
1121 -> 1048 MiB for 8.8 MiB of input, 1591 -> 1529 MiB for 17.3 MiB,
with the time unchanged either way.
…parse

A token terser builds holds nine fields; a tree of a million nodes holds
one each, where only its position is ever read as often. webpack's parse
now hands the tree a token of two fields — the parse and which token it is
— and reads a line, a kind, a value or the comments beside it off narrow
tables the parse keeps: the offsets and kinds in typed arrays, a value only
where the source does not spell it out, and the comments of a gap in a map
of the gaps that hold any.

The parsed tree of an 8.8 MiB bundle retains 129.1 MiB where terser's
parser leaves 237.1 MiB, and 247.6 against 457.6 MiB for 17.3 MiB of input
— 159 bytes a node against 292. Minifying the first peaks at 872 MiB
against 1203; output stays byte for byte terser's.
A pattern spelling `<!--` and `-->` reads as a filter over HTML, which
CodeQL reports as an incomplete one; this decides which parser reads a
source, and filters nothing. A scan says the same thing without a pattern,
and skips the line it would have walked where neither spelling occurs.

Also say in docs/syntax.md what the printer's `parse` phase now does, and
what `parse.webpackParser` turns off.
terser steps over a comment's own characters before it makes the token, so a
block comment holding a line break reads as having one before it; webpack's
parse read only the gap ahead of it, and wrote `!/*!…` where terser puts the
`!` on a line of its own. A parenthesis hands its break to the first comment
inside it only where it holds no comment of its own, as terser's parser has
it, and a block comment is read with its breaks spelled `\n`.

The swc corpus differed over `projects/files` and `benches-full`, where each
library's banner comment is followed by `(function (…) {`; all nine print
byte for byte terser's again.
…uence where terser does

terser's parser leaves the annotation of a chain on each of its links, where
webpack's parse took it off the one an outer link was built over, so a
compressor inlined an arrow call terser keeps.

A sequence ends at `peek()`, the token past the one that follows it — past
the parenthesis holding it where there is one — which decides whether a
comment after the statement is written inside the brace that closes the
function or after it. The parse has not read that token when the statement is
converted, so the pool hands out the one it will read, and `finish` holds it
back to the token past the source where the parse ended first.
…ends there

Marking every link, as the commit before this did, mangles a property terser
keeps: `/*@__MANGLE_PROP__*/ this.keepthis.manglethis` is one mark on the last
link, because terser's parser annotates a `.` or `[…]` link by annotating
whatever the rest of the chain returns. A call annotates itself, so it keeps
its own mark, and a link built over a member takes that member's.

terser also marks the chain wrapper of `this.a?.b.c`, which is left as it is:
nothing reads an annotation there, and the output of each optional-chain shape
is byte for byte terser's either way.

Collecting a token cost more than reading one: four growable arrays to push
into, two map lookups for its kind, a sealed object per token, and a token
object the parser built only for the reader to copy from. The offsets, kinds
and breaks now go into typed arrays sized for the source and doubled where it
holds more, `finish` trims them instead of converting them, a kind is a code
the table already holds, and `onTokenRead` hands the reader the parser itself,
which also keeps the parser's token fast path.

Parsing an 8.8 MiB bundle into the printer's tree: 2217 -> 1642 ms and a peak
of 483 -> 351 MiB, against terser's parser at 1520 ms and 366 MiB. What the
tree retains is unchanged at 129.0 MiB against terser's 237.1. Output stays
byte for byte terser's over the 232 corpus cases and the 301 printer tests.
…elves

The printer wrote what terser writes over the whole corpus, so it is what
`jsMinify` loads: the branch that read the user's own terser goes, with the
`printer` option that chose between them and the `futureDefaults` default that
turned it on. Output is cached against webpack's version now, since the
minifier is webpack's.

Its options, its answer and its `minify` are typed here rather than imported
from terser's package, so `types.d.ts` no longer reads that package at all. The
keys the minifier reads are named and the rest stay open, as the configuration
schema already had them.

test262 built every case twice, once per minifier; one minifier needs one
production mode, and the three groups of `MINIFIED_FAILURES` that only terser
failed — 28 cases it drops, miswrites or changes the meaning of — go with it.
A case listed as failing that passes was its own jest failure, and five
hundred of those with a code frame each overflow what a run's log holds, so
the list the suite asks you to edit could not be read back from it. They are
collected and reported together now, one line each.
A node class was `AST_Call`, which named terser rather than what it is. Each
one is now its type with `Node` after it — `CallNode`, `BinaryNode` — the root
is `SyntaxNode` and the token class `ParsedToken`, which `classNameOf` decides
for the classes the generated descriptors build. The suffix is what keeps
`Object`, `String`, `Number` and `Function` the globals they are.

The types and the helpers lose the name too: `TerserModules` is
`MinifierModules`, `TerserNode` `NodeShape`, `TerserCompressor`
`CompressorShape`, `TerserOutputStream` `OutputStream`, `createTerserParser`
`createLenientParser`, `terserParse` `parseLeniently`, and the token and word
kinds `tokenKindOf` and `wordKindOf`.

A bigint kept the separators it was written with, where the tokenizer drops
them: `123_456_789n` is printed `123456789n` again, which is five groups of the
test262 corpus back to byte for byte.

Where a test holds webpack's port to terser's own modules, each side answers to
its own names: terser's classes gain webpack's as aliases, and a tree is
compared by what a node holds rather than by what its class is called.
The map still described the switch that chose between webpack's printer and
terser, and the parser factory under its old name. One fixture is no longer
bigger than swc's output, so it leaves `SWC_SMALLER`.

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 — a new asset was created, not grown, so it reads gray (⚪ added) — and 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 changed size.

No runtime gained or lost a runtime module.

Built test/configCases with the defaults a user gets: 2299 test(s), 8314 asset(s), 96 emitted nothing.

Minifying with webpack's printer — a bigint written without the separators it
was read with, a comment's line break read as terser's tokenizer reads it, an
annotated chain marked link by link — passes 527 of the cases
`MINIFIED_FAILURES` listed as failing, so they leave it. 638 remain, which is
what the minifier has left to fix.
The printer asked webpack's parser not to check private fields, so `foo.#bar`
and `#foo in bar` outside a class minified where terser and oxc both refuse
them — 76 differences over the comparison corpora, and a name the mangler then
renamed. The parser's own default checks it, so this drops the option.

…inter reads

Reading a source with webpack's parser rather than terser's ported one leaves
757 differences over the comparison corpora, none of them webpack's. 704 are a
source the spec allows and terser refuses: an escape anywhere in an identifier
name, a trailing comma in an argument list, a regular expression after the ogham
space mark, `let` as a name outside strict mode, `yield` naming a function
inside a generator, `export * as default from`, a field named `get` before a
generator, and an escape no cooked template value can read.

The other 53 are bytes where terser reads or prints the program differently: a
`let` or `async` before a line break, which the semicolon inserted after it
leaves a name; a line continuation's own break written into the string it holds
nothing of; and a binary, octal or hex property key quoted as it is written,
naming the property `0b1` where it is `1`.

`REFUSED_BY_REFERENCE` lists the parse errors with what makes each source legal
and `REFERENCE_MISPRINTS` the cases by name. Both fail where the reference stops
differing, and an accepted output still runs against what its test prints.
Writing an import of nothing without its empty list makes two of oxc's own
cases and one of swc's no bigger than what oxc writes, so `OXC_SMALLER` stops
listing them.
…default

Minifying every asset with the printer waits for the measurements to settle, so
`jsMinify` reads the user's terser again unless `printer: true` asks for the
printer, which `optimization.minimizeOptions.javascript` still defaults to under
`experiments.futureDefaults`. A cache entry follows terser's version again.

The test262 suite minifies through the printer whatever a build defaults to: it
holds webpack's minifier to the spec, not the one a user brings, so the cases it
no longer fails stay out of `MINIFIED_FAILURES`.
Collapsing the two minified modes into one dropped terser's coverage and the
per-minifier `minifiers` keying of `MINIFIED_FAILURES`, so a case failing under
only one of them could not be recorded. Production is built once per minimizer
again, and every entry the earlier collapse removed is back.

What stays is the report: a case listed as failing that now passes is collected
rather than thrown, so one run names every entry to retire.
…r futureDefaults

The default minimizer dispatches JavaScript to `terserMinify` as
`minimizer-webpack-plugin` publishes it, and to `jsMinify` — webpack's own
printer — only under `experiments.futureDefaults`. Which one runs is the
wiring's to decide, so `jsMinify` no longer takes a `printer` flag and goes
through the printer alone.

`getMinimizerVersion` reports webpack's version rather than terser's, since
the printer ships inside webpack and an upgrade of it is what moves the
output a cache entry holds.
Each minified mode names the function it builds with rather than an option:
`terserMinify` for the mode a plain production build runs, `jsMinify` for the
one `futureDefaults` switches to. Both read the same options, so a difference
between the modes is the minifier's own.

Splitting what terser's parser refuses follows: webpack's parser reads 515 of
those programs, so only terser is listed for them, while the 14 terser rejects
as a redeclaration are listed for both, the printer porting that refusal.

… cause

Both shards reported, and `printer` leaves fourteen entries it passes now,
each a program terser miscompiles and the `correct` phase gets right: `let`
after a newline in a `for-in`, `for-of` or `for-await-of` head, `async` with
no line terminator before a function declaration or an arrow, an escaped
`async` before one, `await` as the second argument of a dynamic import, and a
line continuation inside a single- or double-quoted string. Each moves to the
terser-only group its reason already has.

Two entries keep the printer, under what actually fails them rather than
terser's reason. `import/import-attributes/text-javascript.js` imports a
fixture that is not parsable JavaScript, so neither minifier can read the
asset. `expressions/await/await-in-nested-function.js` is a printer defect:
compressing inlines a function naming `await` into the async function calling
it, where the name is reserved, so the output does not parse — reached only
now that the printer is held to this case.

- Parenthesize the right side of a private `in`, a `yield`, `await`, private `in` or optional chain tagging a template, and a `let` or `async` starting a statement or loop head, where the minifier printed code that no longer parsed or read otherwise. (by [@&#8203;aryanraj45](https://github.com/aryanraj45) in [#&#8203;22437](webpack/webpack#22437))

- Keep a name a parameter list or catch parameter reads from resolving to what the function body or catch block declares, which the minifier renamed or dropped as unused. (by [@&#8203;aryanraj45](https://github.com/aryanraj45) in [#&#8203;22439](webpack/webpack#22439))

- Keep CSS `border: none` and gradient fallbacks for units a target cannot read. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;22567](webpack/webpack#22567))

- Keep minified CSS safe for older browsers; drop dead fallbacks and overrides. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;22696](webpack/webpack#22696))

- Keep CSS rules apart from a neighbor whose selector no browser parses. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;22634](webpack/webpack#22634))

- Keep an `:nth-*()` argument with a space after its sign as written. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;22700](webpack/webpack#22700))

- Keep minified CSS readable by browsers the compat data does not cover. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;22701](webpack/webpack#22701))

- Keep a module its chunk still needs after `compilation.rebuildModule()`. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;22705](webpack/webpack#22705))

- Keep a CSS rule nested under a selector opening on a combinator when lowering. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;22707](webpack/webpack#22707))

- Use module paths for webpack's built-in minimizers so parallel minification can load them directly in workers instead of serializing their function sources. (by [@&#8203;xiaoxiaojx](https://github.com/xiaoxiaojx) in [#&#8203;22309](webpack/webpack#22309))

- Keep stats from an earlier build readable after a later build no longer has one of their modules. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;22695](webpack/webpack#22695))
