Pull request overview
This PR attempts to fix the removal of unused TypeScript import equals declarations by marking their references as type references before transformation. The implementation moves the reference marking logic from the declaration removal phase to an earlier enter_program phase and processes import chains in reverse order to handle dependencies correctly.
Key changes:
- Adds
mark_unused_import_equals_references_as_typemethod that processes import equals declarations before transformation - Processes imports in reverse order to correctly handle chains where one import references another
- Removes inline reference marking code from
transform_ts_import_equals

The new unused import = pre-pass is directionally good, but it currently only scans top-level statements and misses nested import = declarations inside namespaces/modules, which is a correctness issue (and likely related to the new snapshot mismatches). Additionally, moving reference-flag mutation to enter_program introduces ordering assumptions about when semantic references are finalized. Finally, the strict debug_assert_eq!(..., ReferenceFlags::Read) makes the transformer fragile to future semantic-flag changes.

crates/oxc_transformer/src/typescript/mod.rs:81-85
The new pre-pass marks module-reference identifiers asTypeonly when the binding has all-type references. This assumes thatget_resolved_references(decl.id.symbol_id())is fully populated and stable atenter_programtime.
If any later traversal phase can create additional value references to that symbol (e.g., via desugaring, namespace transforms, or other TS passes that synthesize identifiers), this pre-pass can incorrectly flip a Read to Type too early, potentially causing an actually-used value import to be treated as type-only downstream.
Given you now call this at enter_program, it’s worth asserting/ensuring that no subsequent pass introduces new value references to TSImportEqualsDeclaration bindings (or that such passes run before this marking).

What changed
- TypeScript transformer traversal order:
TypeScriptModule::enter_programis now invoked fromTypeScript::enter_program(crates/oxc_transformer/src/typescript/mod.rs). - Refactor of unused
import =handling: moved the logic that re-flags module-reference identifiers fromRead→Typeout oftransform_ts_import_equalsand into a dedicated pre-pass:- Added
TypeScriptModule::enter_programwhich callsmark_unused_import_equals_references_as_type. - Implemented reverse-order scanning of top-level statements to correctly handle chained
import x = y.zrelationships.
- Added
- Conformance coverage: added a new fixture
remove-unused-import-equalsand updated snapshot counts/results.

I don't really understand this weird import X = ... syntax, but the test seems to show the desired behavior. LGTM!
