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 an output.environment flag 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:

  • moduleNamespacePromise renders () => (__webpack_require__(id)) rather than binding __webpack_require__; the bound form stays where arrows are unavailable, being shorter there.
  • __webpack_require__.r drops the Symbol.toStringTag feature test when output.environment.symbol is set — the option promises the well-known symbols too.
  • __webpack_require__.g is globalThis when output.environment.globalThis is set.
  • __webpack_require__.t reads Object.getPrototypeOf directly; its __proto__ fallback is dead beside the Object.create two lines down.
  • __webpack_require__.d builds one descriptor instead of repeating Object.defineProperty per branch, __webpack_require__.u is 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 the chunkId it already read, and auto-publicPath strips the blob: prefix and the query/fragment in one pass.

It also fixes __webpack_require__.O: priority & 1 === 0 parses as priority & (1 === 0), so every deferred handler 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 both readings agree there — so this surfaces for a plugin registering an even, non-zero priority.

yarn test:size over test/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. Error counts (486) and the runtime module set of every runtime are unchanged.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

perf.

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes — test/configCases/runtime/on-chunks-loaded-priority (registers an even, non-zero priority behind a blocked one; fails on the unfixed __webpack_require__.O) and test/configCases/worker/this-in-worker-entry-global-this (covers the new globalThis branch of __webpack_require__.g). The existing contenthash/hash-placeholders case 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.

Use of AI

Yes, Claude Code. It inventoried the runtime modules across eight target configurations, measured every candidate with terser + gzip and with yarn test:size against 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 — replacing x => {} with () => {} (a minifier keeps the parameter, so it was a byte longer), and reaching the global by typeof instead of __webpack_require__.g (typeof resolves lexically-scoped bindings, which a config case caught).

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR updates runtime code generation for shorter callbacks, environment-aware syntax, simplified URL handling, and corrected chunk-loading behavior. It adds runtime-priority, worker globalThis, and no-Symbol tests, then updates snapshots and changeset descriptions.

Runtime generation and validation

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.

Proposed change
-		 * Drops the empty string a leading placeholder leaves behind. Only when a

+		 * Drops a dead leading empty-string operand when the final operand is quoted.

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.
