Removes EXPECTED_* in favor of their counterparts to avoid redundant declarations. This will help us move away from custom tooling and into TS 7

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Standardized type annotations across configuration, source, tooling, and test documentation.
    • Updated guidance to use native JavaScript and TypeScript types.
  • Chores

    • Removed obsolete type declarations and aliases.
    • Enabled JSON module resolution.
    • Added color-name type definitions for development tooling.
    • Adjusted linting rules to support the updated annotations.
  • Tests

    • Updated test annotations and fixtures without changing test behavior or expectations.

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR replaces legacy EXPECTED_* JSDoc and declaration types with native any, object, and Function types across source files, tests, tooling, examples, schemas, and documentation. It removes obsolete declarations, adjusts ESLint rules, adds @types/color-name, and enables JSON module resolution. Runtime behavior is unchanged.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 93b42

This PR primarily removes redundant declarations and adjusts type annotations without an intended runtime behavior change, but the schema edit requires regenerated validators and declaration outputs, and those synchronized artifacts are not confirmed here. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on regeneration and the localized annotation fixes.

Gzip change decides — it is what a user downloads, and a re-encoding can cut raw bytes while costing wire bytes. Raw change is the tiebreak: it is what the generator wrote, so it is what has to be decompressed and parsed. Both are over assets both runs emit; bytes an added or deleted case brings with it are counted apart, under new/gone. Brotli and zstd are per asset in the table below.

Use a single-comment return type.

findBotComment returns null, one comment, or undefined. It never returns an array. Change the annotation to Promise<any | null | undefined>.

We use expected to avoid mistakes, I don’t see how it helps to move to ts7

We use expected to avoid mistakes

I disagree that EXPECTED_ helps avoid mistakes, it's the same as any and object, and makes little difference, IMO.

I don’t see how it helps to move to ts7

Moving to TypeScript 7 will help us reduce reliance on tooling, which is made much easier by avoiding declarative aliases (TS 7 will have issues determining that EXPECTED_ANY = any)

We always use expected to catch places with any, object, function, it is not related to v7 at all and supported by v7, I really prefer to use them, we made it intentionally, so that other developers would first try to use the real type, and only if it is not solvable use expected prefix

As I said, removing our reliance on tooling is made substantially easier (if not possible) by removing these redundant declarations, and I’m confident that this is the right call. We can still treat these the same, just under a different, easier to type, name

Using expected is not related to our tooling, this is just a special type and I don’t see how it blocks to move to ts7 and drop tooling

Using expected is not related to our tooling, this is just a special type and I don’t see how it blocks to move to ts7 and drop tooling

Our tooling 'infers' that EXPECTED_ANY === any when generating types.d.ts, which I don't believe TypeScript will do natively, so relying on it is a blocker (per my understanding)

No, all types related to expected we have here - https://github.com/webpack/webpack/blob/main/declarations.d.ts, and tooling makes nothing or so it is not a blocker for ts7, we intentionally use such aliases to avoid any, function, object types in code and ask developers try to add the real types, it is like no-any eslint rule for typescript code and to avoid a lot of eslint-disable-next-line comments, we introduce these aliases, and we don’t want to change it, we use this practice across all repos and we have eslint rules to catch bad types, including these types

Let’s close, no problems with expected and typescript 7, verified locally, soon we will have ability to migrate to typescript v7
