Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to db055
The PR changes CSS capability detection and can improve output size, but disabling vendor-prefix minimization may cause newer CSS syntax to be emitted for older browser targets, making generated styles incompatible in that configuration. The generator documentation and comment-length issues also need explicit follow-up before merge.

The selection answers two questions now — which prefixes to write, and which spellings a target can read — but `optimization.minimize.css.vendorPrefixes` skipped resolving it at all, which was right while prefixes were its only reader. With `vendorPrefixes: false` and an old target, minifying emitted `inset:0`, `#ff000080` and `(width>=40em)`, none of which that target reads. The selection is now resolved whenever a target exists, and the option gates the prefix work alone. Reported by CodeRabbit on #21829. Also folds the six changesets into the one this pull request should carry, and shortens the comments over the two-line limit.
… need A declaration value's whitespace only separates tokens, so the join keeps one exactly where the neighbours would otherwise read back as a single token. A selector's whitespace is a descendant combinator and a math function's `+` and `-` need theirs, so both keep the character-class rule; a custom property, a substituted value, and the values the string transforms read component-wise stay space-separated too. Over the benchmark:css-minifiers fixtures: -4843 raw, -523 gzip.
The five `output.environment.css*` flags said what the target could read, and a hand-typed `cssChecker` table behind each said when. Both go: the printer now asks a generated table when every selected browser first read an ability, so nothing states one separately and nothing goes stale unread. The table is derived in `tooling/generate-css-data.js` from the compat data already in use there, and its versions match the hand-typed ones it replaces browser for browser. A build with no browserslist selection keeps every rewrite, as before. The flags were pending and unreleased, so no option leaves a shipped API; the `minimize-environment` cases hold the same output back with a selection instead, unchanged snapshots and all.
A prelude with a pseudo in it was refused outright, because one selector an engine cannot parse invalidates the whole list it is joined into. The target answers that per pseudo instead: a generated table says when each browser first read each standard pseudo-class and pseudo-element, and a selection joins one only when every browser in it is past that version. A pseudo the table does not name — a vendor spelling, a CSS-modules one, or simply newer than the data — never joins, whatever the target. Scoped to pseudos holding no selector: argument-less, or the closed `An+B` of `:nth-*()`. One holding a selector list (`:not()`, `:is()`, `:has()`) would have to have its argument checked too, and is left out. Over the benchmark:css-minifiers fixtures: -28763 raw, -1335 gzip.
Two reads the printer had been repeating: A declaration's span is asked for a substitution twice — once by the walk and again by the printer once its children are done. One entry remembers the last span answered for, which spares the second scan and the slice under it: 355 scans on Bootstrap and 441 on Primer, exactly the ones the value-separator change had added. Whether the selection reads a pseudo is the same answer for every prelude carrying it and for every stylesheet built for the same browsers, so it is memoized by spelling and kept until the selection itself changes rather than cleared per print. Output is byte-identical over the benchmark:css-minifiers fixtures, all 60 builds.
The pair merge refused any `overflow` that did not collapse to a single value, because the two-value form is far newer than the longhands it merges and a target reading only those would lose both declarations. The target now answers that, the way it answers the `place-*` shorthands beside it, so the merge runs wherever the form is readable and the one-value collapse keeps running everywhere. Over the benchmark:css-minifiers fixtures: -507 raw, -138 gzip.
Two tables stated the same thing many times over. Every support profile covers the same thirteen browsers in the same order, so the names are stated once for all of them and each profile is a positional array of versions; a profile two constructs share is stored once. 100 constructs read 73 rows. Each prefixed spelling carried its own `[browser, from, to]` windows, and two thirds of those lists repeat — 24 constructs share Gecko's one window alone. They are pooled the same way and named by index. lib/css/data.js goes from 218 KB to 156 KB, and the heap it retains from 1222 KB to 834 KB. Output is byte-identical over the benchmark:css-minifiers fixtures, all 60 builds.
A shorthand takes over the longhands of its own family written after it, so `border-width:0;border-bottom-width:1px` prints as `border-width:0 0 1px`. Adjacent only — anything between them is read between them, so folding would move what it wrote past it — and each following longhand folds into what the last one left. Which values a property accepts is the property's own business, and a component the shorthand cannot read makes the whole of it invalid, losing the slots that were fine. So the two fold only where they are the same narrow numeric kind, which every slot of that family accepts wherever one of them does: `padding:0;padding-bottom:.25` stays apart, because `.25` is no length and `padding:0 0 .25` is a declaration an engine drops whole. Over the benchmark:css-minifiers fixtures: -540 raw, -52 gzip.
`padding-bottom:.25` is a value the property never read — no box slot taking a length reads a bare number — so an engine drops that one declaration and keeps its siblings. Merging the four wrote `padding:0 0 .25`, which the engine drops whole, losing the three that were fine. Found by the browser-equivalence oracle on a wpt stylesheet. The merge now declines wherever a bare non-zero number stands beside a length or a percentage. A keyword is no bare number, so `margin:auto 0 0` still merges.
The selection answers two questions now — which prefixes to write, and which spellings a target can read — but `optimization.minimize.css.vendorPrefixes` skipped resolving it at all, which was right while prefixes were its only reader. With `vendorPrefixes: false` and an old target, minifying emitted `inset:0`, `#ff000080` and `(width>=40em)`, none of which that target reads. The selection is now resolved whenever a target exists, and the option gates the prefix work alone. Reported by CodeRabbit on #21829.

…al is `collectSupportedFrom` took an entry BCD later removed as the arrival, so an ability could survive past the version that stopped reading it. The other two readings already excluded one; all three now share `isPlainSupport`. No table today has a removed plain entry, so `lib/css/data.js` is byte-identical.

Also says why `SUPPORTED_FEATURES` is stated rather than derived: no dataset names which abilities the printer reaches for. Reported by CodeRabbit on #21829.
`CssEnvironment` no longer carries per-ability flags; the browserslist selection decides them. `#rrggbbaa` landed in Chrome 62, so chrome 62 and chrome 50 sit either side of the one ability this asserts.
…ds in another (#21830) * feat(css,html): add renderEmbeddedSource for source one language embeds in another CSS reaches the bundle inside a JavaScript string literal for every `exportType` but `link`, and an HTML module imported from JS the same way. No asset carries that text, so an asset-level minimizer can never match it and it ships unminified while the identical content ships minified as a `.css` or `.html` asset. The same holds inside a document or a stylesheet: an inline `<script>`, an `<svg>` subtree and a `url()` `data:` payload were reachable by nothing, and the inline CSS minifier was hardcoded. One name covers all of it, keyed by `info.type` so a single tap serves every language pair: an async compilation hook where a module embeds source in JS, and a synchronous serializer option where a document or stylesheet embeds it in itself. Absent, the built-in CSS and JSON minifiers still run and everything else is emitted exactly as written. Code generation is synchronous and the hook is not, so the first pass records what it was offered and returns it unchanged; the hook is then awaited and the affected modules generated again with the resolved source waiting for them. Modules generate nested, so the job to redo is tracked as the module actually being generated. Module hashes are taken before code generation, so a tap's output cannot reach the codegen cache key — `embeddedSourceHash` lets it write what it varies on into the hash instead. webpack taps neither hook; `test/helpers/SampleEmbeddedMinifyPlugin.js` stands in for minimizer-webpack-plugin, which owns the real ones. * test(html,css): pin how a map reaches nested source, and what cannot carry one Verifying whether the serializer needs to rewrite maps turned up that it does not, and the reasons are worth holding still. Inline content takes its map in the body: a `sourceMappingURL` in a `<style>` or `<script>` is the only form a browser honours there, and a renderer can already write one — it survives the print, `collapseWhitespace: "all"` included. An attribute cannot carry one at all: a comment escapes the rule wrapper, so the value is kept as written rather than half-rewritten. And the stylesheet's own map stays coherent when a `data:` payload is rewritten to a different length — the url goes out as one piece, so what follows it moves with it. * feat(html): offer the document an <iframe srcdoc> holds to the renderer The last nesting the renderer could not see. #21767 gave `htmlMinify` a pre-pass that minifies a srcdoc document with webpack's own minifier, but the serializer offered it to nobody — so HTML reaching the bundle through the compilation hook carried a srcdoc no renderer could reach. It is offered decoded and written back escaped, which makes it the one reference-carrying attribute value still rewritten: a document is mostly references, so the guard that skips those would skip every srcdoc. Declining leaves the value exactly as written. The renderer cannot parse it where it is offered — the walk is mid-parse and `grammar` refuses a second one — so it looks up what a walk-only pass prepared, the same shape an async minifier uses and the same one #21767's pre-pass takes. * fix(css): spell a rebuilt data url so it parses back, and report a redo throw Two findings from review, both real. A rebuilt `data:` url was spliced into the output unescaped, so a renderer returning a payload with a space or a quote — an SVG minifier's ordinary output — ended the url token or its string early and a browser dropped the whole declaration. One place now decides how a rebuilt url is spelled: a url token where it can be one, quoted with the delimiter escaped where it cannot. A body still carrying a CSS escape is declined rather than read with its backslashes in it, which is what keeps the rewrite idempotent. And the second code-generation pass called `codeGeneration()` with no try/catch, where the first pass wraps it: a generator throwing there escaped through the async chain instead of being reported as a `CodeGenerationError`, so a build could die with nothing to show for it. Also shortens the changeset and the comments the guidelines cap at two lines, and hashes every renderer option the sample plugin varies on rather than `minimizerOptions` alone. * fix(css,html): keep a renderer's non-text answer from breaking serialization A renderer returning `undefined` reached `escapeAttribute` on the srcdoc path and threw on `.includes` — the one offer written back escaped rather than spliced verbatim. Both serializers now read anything but text as a renderer that did not answer, and keep the body as written. * perf(compilation): release the code generation jobs when nothing taps the hook `_runCodeGenerationJobs` captured the full jobs array so embedded source could be resolved over all of it, which kept it alive through every delayed iteration that `jobs = delayedJobs` would otherwise free. Untapped nothing is ever recorded, so the capture is skipped and an untapped build retains exactly what it did before. Also drops an orphaned copy of `_renderDataUrl`'s JSDoc that had been left sitting above `_CSS_STRING_ESCAPE_RE`. * fix(compilation): key resolved embedded source by language pair, not text alone The per-module cache was keyed on the source text, so a module offering the same text under two `{type, hostType}` pairs would have got the first pair's answer for both. No generator does that today — each offers one pair — but the key has to cover everything the hook is handed rather than rely on that. Covers the renderer's effect on the codegen cache too: two filesystem-cached builds whose renderer differs must not replay each other, which is what `embeddedSourceHash` exists for and nothing asserted. * docs(compilation,css): correct the embedded source cache doc and trim comments * feat(asset): offer asset/source text and asset/inline payloads to the hook An `asset/source` module embeds its file's text in JavaScript verbatim, and an `asset/inline` module base64-encodes it, so an SVG imported either way shipped exactly as written while the same file routed through a .css or .html asset was minified. Both now go through `renderEmbeddedSource`, the inline one before encoding so the encoding covers what came back. The language is read off the file's name through webpack's own mime lookup, so no table of extensions is written down. A file naming no language webpack knows is left alone, as is a `dataUrl` function, which is handed the source itself. `asset/bytes` is not offered: it is binary by construction. `asset/resource` and `asset/webmanifest` emit their own assets rather than embedding, which the asset-level minimizer reaches by filename. * perf(asset): skip the embedded-source work when nothing taps the hook The mime lookup, and for a data URI the copy of the payload and the source wrapping it, ran once per asset module on every build whether or not a renderer was tapped. Measured on 300 asset modules over five builds: 1500 calls into the resolver, now 0. * test(util): cover the data URI and language helpers, drop an unreachable catch `decodeDataURIPayload` guarded base64 decoding with a try/catch, but `Buffer.from(str, "base64")` is lenient rather than throwing — garbage decodes to something that fails the round-trip check, which is the same answer. Removing it leaves `lib/util/dataURL.js` at 100% of statements, branches and lines. * test(html): answer the embedded HTML hook with bytes, as a minifier may The generator takes a tap's answer as either text or bytes, but every case answered with text, so the byte path was never run. Removing it now fails `html/minify-embedded-html-in-js` in both config suites. * test(html): select the target by browsers, as #21829 now requires `CssEnvironment` no longer carries per-ability flags; the browserslist selection decides them. `#rrggbbaa` landed in Chrome 62, so chrome 62 and chrome 50 sit either side of the one ability this asserts. * test(asset): pin the embedded-source fixture to LF Windows checks a text fixture out with CRLF, so the case asserting an `asset/source` file is left alone read back a trailing \r\n and failed there. Pinned as `query-suffixes/raw.txt` already is; the .svg fixtures were covered by the blanket rule.
Summary
Every CSS ability the minifier reaches for now comes from the target's browsers rather than from a flag beside it, and several transforms the target can now answer for are taken.
The five
output.environment.css*flags, and the hand-typedcssCheckertable behind each, are replaced by a table generated from the compat datatooling/generate-css-data.jsalready uses; its versions match the ones it replaces browser for browser. They were pending and unreleased, so no option leaves a shipped API. That same predicate then answers three things a blanket refusal used to: a selector list may take a pseudo every target reads (::-moz-placeholderand anything the table does not name still never joins),overflowmay take its two-value form, and a value's separators are kept only where the tokens would otherwise fuse.Two size wins need no target: a shorthand takes over the longhands of its own family written after it, and the generated data itself sheds the rows it was repeating.
Over the

perf — with one fix (the box merge above) and one behaviour change (abilities read off the browsers) in it.
Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes.
test/CssSyntax.unittest.jscovers each transform and every refusal (the target gate per pseudo and foroverflow, the separator guards forcalc()/selectors/custom properties/substituted values, and each fold refusal);test/configCases/css/minimize-environmentdrives the ability resolution through the real option flow, andminimize-values/minimize-declined/minimize-nestingcover the rest. 1054 unit tests, 1175 config snapshots and 5507 browser-equivalence checks pass.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No. The five
output.environment.css*properties it removes were pending and unreleased, so they are in no published version; a build with no browserslist selection keeps every rewrite, as before.If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
n/a — the options removed were never documented, and nothing replaces them: the target's browsers already are the documented input.
Use of AI
Claude Code wrote the changes and the tests under my direction, and ran the measurements quoted above. I reviewed every hunk. Its first attempt at the longhand fold was wrong — it merged a value the property never accepted — which the browser-equivalence suite caught and which led to the box-merge fix included here.
