Annotate the instantiation of a module webpack knows to be side-effect free with `/*#__PURE__*/`, so a bundler consuming the emitted bundle can drop it when nothing reads its exports. Refs #17121
Carry the side-effect information into the deferred import, the eager slot of a wrapped concatenation member and the three entry-startup calls as well. Annotating an expression a caller may go on to invoke is not safe: a minifier binds the annotation to the outermost call, so `f(id)(x)` loses `(x)` with it. The entry-startup calls skip it where the module id is assigned inside the argument, and the entry IIFE keeps it for writing into `__webpack_exports__` rather than returning it. Refs #17121
Drop the annotation from the eager slot of a wrapped concatenation member: the root is the only member ever reached that way, and every shape that wraps it routes a `require()` through its own imports, so it is never side-effect free there and the annotation could not be emitted. Refs #17121
Terser drops `/*#__PURE__*/` unless asked not to, so a production library build erased the information it had just been given. Preserve annotations in the default JavaScript minimizer options whenever the output is consumed as a library. Refs #17121
An entry other modules reference is not inlined, so its exports are read off the exports object and no bundler consuming the library can drop them. Report that through the analyzable-ESM bailout channel, where the answer is actionable. Refs #17121
CodeQL flagged the escape set for omitting backslashes. Spell the pieces out already escaped for a regexp instead, which drops the replace entirely. Refs #17121
Review feedback: the emitted code is what these two assertions check, so let the whole bundle be the snapshot rather than pinning one substring of it, and bring the changeset summary back under 80 characters. Refs #17121
Review feedback: keep both to the two short lines the guide asks for, without losing the minifier binding rule a new call site has to know. Refs #17121
The two compilers run concurrently, so an unnamed snapshot keys on call order and the two bundles swapped places between runs. Key each on its bundle name instead. Refs #17121
Review feedback: comments in test/ are at most two short lines, so keep the type annotation and drop the prose. Refs #17121
An entry runs by contract, not because something imports it, so a minifier that drops the startup call leaves the entry unexecuted — `all-combined` built nine cases whose bundles then registered no tests at all. Side-effect freedom says an importer may skip a module; it does not say the entry may never run. Refs #17121
The case pinned its target to the node running it, so the emitted runtime tracked that version — Object.hasOwn on a new one, the hasOwnProperty fallback on Node 14 — and the snapshot could not hold across the matrix. Use the conservative target the harness defaults to, as the repo's other bundle-snapshot case does. Refs #17121
Reading the bundle back with `require("fs")` made the ESM output import
`createRequire` from `node:module`, which Node 10 does not have.
…ntime The rebase picks up #21803, which shortens `__webpack_require__.d`. The annotations under test are unchanged.
Main gave the helper a third argument it hands back; the public wrapper only reports, so it answers with `null`.
Output another build reads back is the only output the annotation can pay for. Over configCases the gate is -1.51 KiB raw / -635 B gzip: 73 assets lose an annotation nothing consumed, 21 defer-import ones grow because their own minifier pass was using it.
`static-export-bindings` builds a script bundle, so the ESM gate no longer writes them there.

A script-loaded output — a federation container above all — carries no annotations of its own, so telling terser to keep them only kept the ones webpack has always emitted and terser used to drop.

Summary
Refs #17121 — the "module-wide side-effect information is kept in build output" item, using the
PUREflag rather than generating apackage.json. Where webpack knows a module and its transitive imports are free of side effects, it now writes/*#__PURE__*/in front of the statement that instantiates it. A library build also keeps those annotations through minification, which terser otherwise strips.What a consumer gets from that is precise, and narrower than "the module is dropped": the instantiation is dropped, so the module never runs and its exports object is never allocated. Its factory stays in
__webpack_modules__— those are properties of a dynamically indexed object literal, which no DCE pass can prune per key — unless killing the call makes the whole runtime unreachable, in which case the body goes too. So the win is execution, not bytes, except in that case. Pure-ESM sources are unaffected either way: concatenation already inlines and shakes them.Annotations are only written where webpack itself terminates the statement. A minifier binds the annotation to the outermost call, so
/*#__PURE__*/f(id)(x)and/*#__PURE__*/f(id).init(x)delete the outer call too — which rules out annotating an expression a caller may invoke (moduleRaw,moduleNamespace), and is why the call that starts an entry is not annotated either.One case is reported rather than fixed: an entry other modules reference is not inlined, so its exports are read off the exports object, and a property read is not something a consumer can drop. I implemented inlining it behind a registry stand-in and measured the result at 805 → 795 bytes, so I dropped it — the real blocker is the registry/require cycle, not the property reads. With concatenation on (the production default) the shape does not arise at all. It is now surfaced through the analyzable-ESM bailout channel instead, so a library author can see it in
stats.optimizationBailout.On size: the annotation costs bytes in unminified output and buys real code removal in minified ones. The

Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes —

Each assertion was checked to fail against unannotatedlib/.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No. A minified library keeps

Claude Code was used to audit every module-instantiation site in
lib/, write the implementation and tests, and run the verification. Each claim here is backed by a run I checked: the minifier binding behaviour was confirmed against terser directly, the droppable output shapes by building each candidate and feeding it to webpack as a consumer, and the limits of what a consumer can drop by building a multi-module library and grepping the consumer bundle for each module's body. The reverted approach was implemented and measured before being dropped.Generated by Claude Code
