| Layer / File(s) | Summary |
|---|---|
Runtime generation changes lib/RuntimeTemplate.js, lib/runtime/*, lib/web/JsonpChunkLoadingRuntimeModule.js |
Runtime generation now uses deferredCall, url-runtime, direct environment capability paths, simplified URL handling, and corrected namespace and chunk-generation logic. |
Deferred handler priority validation lib/runtime/OnChunksLoadedRuntimeModule.js, test/configCases/runtime/on-chunks-loaded-priority/*, .changeset/112-on-chunks-loaded-priority.md |
The priority check now applies the bitwise operation correctly. The runtime test verifies that an even-priority handler runs without waiting for a blocked priority-0 handler. |
Worker globalThis validation test/configCases/worker/this-in-worker-entry-global-this/* |
A classic worker test verifies that top-level this equals globalThis and preserves a defined marker value. |
Namespace compatibility validation lib/runtime/MakeNamespaceObjectRuntimeModule.js, test/configCases/runtime/make-namespace-object-no-symbol/* |
Namespace generation retains guarded Symbol.toStringTag handling. A runtime test verifies __esModule, named exports, and default exports without Symbol. |
Snapshots and helper updates test/Stats.test.js, test/configCases/contenthash/hash-placeholders/test.config.js, .changeset/511-smaller-generated-runtime.md |
Stats snapshots use the reduced asset size. Chunk-hash parsing accepts concise arrow functions. The changeset describes the runtime reductions. |

Dynamic imports now take an arrow callback instead of a bound `__webpack_require__`, and five runtime helpers drop code an `output.environment` flag or the ES5 baseline already guarantees: - `moduleNamespacePromise` renders `() => (__webpack_require__(id))` where arrows are available; the bound form stays for ES5, where it is shorter. - `__webpack_require__.r` skips the `Symbol.toStringTag` feature test when `output.environment.symbol` is set, which promises it. - `__webpack_require__.g` is `globalThis` when `output.environment.globalThis` is set. - `__webpack_require__.d` builds one descriptor instead of repeating `Object.defineProperty` per branch. - `__webpack_require__.t` reads `Object.getPrototypeOf` directly; its `__proto__` fallback was dead next to `Object.create`. - auto `publicPath` strips the `blob:` prefix and the query/fragment in one pass. Over `test/configCases`, 1937 assets change: -18.85 KiB gzip and -180.22 KiB raw, with error counts and runtime module sets unchanged.
`&` binds looser than `===`, so the guard `priority & 1 === 0` parsed as `priority & (1 === 0)` and was always 0. Every deferred handler therefore waited for lower priorities to run first, where `RuntimeGlobals` documents only an odd priority as waiting. Webpack's own output is unaffected: it emits priority 0 (entry startup) and 5 (startup prefetch) only, and for those the two readings agree — `5` is odd, and for `0` the fallback `notFulfilled >= 0` already holds because `notFulfilled` starts at `Infinity` and priorities are documented as `>= 0`. It shows up for a plugin registering an even, non-zero priority, which the new config case does.
- The chunk-filename helper is a concise arrow when no chunk carries a
static url, so the common `__webpack_require__.u` is the template
expression alone rather than a block with a `return`.
- The jsonp loader passes the chunk url straight to `__webpack_require__.l`
instead of binding a single-use `const`.
- The ESM chunk installer marks a chunk installed through the `chunkId` it
already read, not by indexing the id list a second time.
- The auto-publicPath regexp drops an escape a character class does not need.
`emptyFunction` keeps its named parameter, with a note: `() => {}` reads
tidier but minifies a byte longer than `x => {}`, which is why it is there.
`Stats.test.js` pins the emitted size of `entryB.js`, which the runtime changes take from 3320 to 3184 bytes. It is a `*.test.js` file, so only the integration matrix runs it — `test:basic` never reaches it.
AGENTS.md caps a changeset description at 80 characters and a comment in `lib/` or `test/` at two short lines; both entries and four comments were over. Flagged in review by coderabbitai.
The `output.environment.symbol: false` branch had no case reaching it: the one es5 target that looked like it would emits no `__webpack_require__.r` at all. A CJS `require` of an ESM module reads `__esModule`, which does.
Three assignments wrote the ES5 `x = x || y` form unconditionally instead of going through `assignOr`, which picks `||=` when `output.environment.logicalAssignment` is set: the deferred-namespace leaf prototypes, the `__webpack_require__.O` priority default, and the worklet bootstrap blob. Output is byte-identical for a target without the flag.
The array form of the define-getters helper is emitted by webpack alone, so a build that emits none cannot receive one and the branch reading it is dead. Gate it on a new `definePropertyGettersFromArray` tree requirement, requested where that form is written. The object form stays unconditionally — third-party code still calls the helper with an object, as its webpack 6 note records. Also drop the empty string a leading or trailing placeholder leaves in a chunk filename expression, keeping a quoted operand so the concatenation still yields a string rather than a bare chunk id. yarn test:size over test/configCases: -69.10 KiB gzip / -267.61 KiB raw over 854 assets; no runtime that both runs build changed its runtime modules.
No chunk filename template in the suite ends with a placeholder while starting with a literal, so the branch stripping the trailing empty string never ran — verified by counting its hits over every configCase under both its own config and the defaults `test:size` builds with. Removing it costs no bytes and leaves the helper with one branch, both outcomes exercised.

* feat: keep module side-effect information in the build output 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 * feat: annotate every module instantiation webpack emits as a statement 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 * test: cover the deferred module instantiations 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 * chore: regenerate types for the annotation helper Refs #17121 * fix: keep the side-effect annotations in a minified library 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 * feat: report an entry whose exports a consumer cannot drop 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 * chore: fold the changeset into one entry Refs #17121 * test: build the annotation matcher without hand-rolled escaping 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 * test: snapshot the deferred bundles and shorten the changeset 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 * docs: tighten the annotation comments 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 * test: name the deferred bundle snapshots 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 * test: shorten the snapshot helper's JSDoc Review feedback: comments in test/ are at most two short lines, so keep the type annotation and drop the prose. Refs #17121 * fix: do not annotate the call that starts an entry 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 * test: keep the deferred snapshots off the running node version 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 * test: assert the surviving annotation on the asset, not at runtime Reading the bundle back with `require("fs")` made the ESM output import `createRequire` from `node:module`, which Node 10 does not have. * test: refresh the deferred snapshots for the leaner define-getters runtime The rebase picks up #21803, which shortens `__webpack_require__.d`. The annotations under test are unchanged. * fix: pass the answer `_analyzableBailout` now requires Main gave the helper a third argument it hands back; the public wrapper only reports, so it answers with `null`. * feat: write the side-effect annotations only into ESM output 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. * test: drop the annotations from a non-ESM snapshot `static-export-bindings` builds a script bundle, so the ESM gate no longer writes them there. * docs: shorten a test comment to the two-line limit * docs: shorten a comment to the three-line limit * fix: preserve the annotations only for an ESM library 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
The runtime helpers and the per-
import()code ship in every bundle, so constant factors there are paid by every user. This trims them where anoutput.environmentflag already promises what the emitted code re-checks, where the ES5 baseline the surrounding code needs makes a fallback dead, or where a value was bound only to be read once:moduleNamespacePromiserenders() => (__webpack_require__(id))rather than binding__webpack_require__; the bound form stays where arrows are unavailable, being shorter there.__webpack_require__.rdrops theSymbol.toStringTagfeature test whenoutput.environment.symbolis set — the option promises the well-known symbols too.__webpack_require__.gisglobalThiswhenoutput.environment.globalThisis set.__webpack_require__.treadsObject.getPrototypeOfdirectly; its__proto__fallback is dead beside theObject.createtwo lines down.__webpack_require__.dbuilds one descriptor instead of repeatingObject.definePropertyper branch,__webpack_require__.uis a concise arrow when no chunk carries a static url, the jsonp loader passes the chunk url straight to__webpack_require__.l, the ESM installer reuses thechunkIdit already read, and auto-publicPathstrips theblob:prefix and the query/fragment in one pass.It also fixes
__webpack_require__.O:priority & 1 === 0parses aspriority & (1 === 0), so every deferred handler waited for lower priorities to run first, whereRuntimeGlobalsdocuments only an odd priority as waiting. Webpack's own output is unaffected — it emits priority 0 (entry startup) and 5 (startup prefetch) only, and both readings agree there — so this surfaces for a plugin registering an even, non-zero priority.yarn test:sizeovertest/configCases, against a baseline built from this PR's merge base: 2082 assets change, -24.46 KiB gzip / -208.79 KiB raw; 1917 assets smaller, 104 larger by at most 7 bytes of compressor alignment.

test/configCases/runtime/on-chunks-loaded-priority(registers an even, non-zero priority behind a blocked one; fails on the unfixed__webpack_require__.O) andtest/configCases/worker/this-in-worker-entry-global-this(covers the newglobalThisbranch of__webpack_require__.g). The existingcontenthash/hash-placeholderscase had its helper regexp widened to accept the concise-arrow form of__webpack_require__.u, which it already intended to.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No.
If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
n/a — no option or public API changes.

Yes, Claude Code. It inventoried the runtime modules across eight target configurations, measured every candidate with terser + gzip and with
yarn test:sizeagainst a baseline built from the merge base, wrote the changes and the config cases, and ran lint and the test suites. Each change is backed by a measurement rather than by inspection; two candidates were reverted when the measurement contradicted them — replacingx => {}with() => {}(a minifier keeps the parameter, so it was a byte longer), and reaching the global bytypeofinstead of__webpack_require__.g(typeofresolves lexically-scoped bindings, which a config case caught).Generated by Claude Code
