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-typed cssChecker table behind each, are replaced by a table generated from the compat data tooling/generate-css-data.js already 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-placeholder and anything the table does not name still never joins), overflow may 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 benchmark:css-minifiers fixtures: -16964 raw, -752 gzip, 36 of 40 builds changed. lib/css/data.js goes 218 KB -> 156 KB and the heap it retains 1222 KB -> 834 KB.

One correctness fix rides along, found by the browser-equivalence oracle: padding-bottom:.25 is a value the property never read, so an engine drops that declaration and keeps its siblings — merging the four wrote padding:0 0 .25, which it drops whole, losing the three that were fine.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

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.js covers each transform and every refusal (the target gate per pseudo and for overflow, the separator guards for calc()/selectors/custom properties/substituted values, and each fold refusal); test/configCases/css/minimize-environment drives the ability resolution through the real option flow, and minimize-values / minimize-declined / minimize-nesting cover 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.

Changes

The CSS minifier now derives syntax support from Browserslist targets. CSS capability flags were removed from target environments. Prefix emission is configured separately. Generated support data now pools prefix windows and browser profiles. Tests cover target-aware syntax, selector joining, shorthand folding, overflow output, and separator trimming.

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.

2534-2542: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

vendorPrefixes: false now also disables every target ability check.

browsers resolves to undefined when cssOptions.vendorPrefixes === false. cssEnvironment then carries no selection at all. In lib/css/syntax.js, grammar only calls _useBrowsers when environment.browsers is non-empty, so _prefixBrowsers stays null, and _readsAll returns true for every profile (line 6796-6797).

Before this change the five output.environment.css* flags gated the abilities independently of prefix resolution. Now the abilities ride on the same option. A build with optimization.minimize.css.vendorPrefixes: false and an old browserslist target emits #0000, inset:, two-value overflow, range media queries, and joined pseudo selectors that the target cannot read.

Resolve browsers for the environment whenever a target exists, and keep vendorPrefixes limited to prefix work.

🐛 Proposed fix: separate the prefix gate from the ability selection
 				const { target } = compiler.options;
-				const browsers =
-					target &&
-					(cssOptions === undefined || cssOptions.vendorPrefixes !== false)
-						? getTargetsBrowsers(
-								Array.isArray(target) ? target : [target],
-								/** `@type` {Context} */ (compiler.options.context)
-							)
-						: undefined;
-				const cssEnvironment = { browsers };
+				// The selection decides both the prefixes and every spelling a target
+				// can read, so `vendorPrefixes: false` drops only the former.
+				const browsers = target
+					? getTargetsBrowsers(
+							Array.isArray(target) ? target : [target],
+							/** `@type` {Context} */ (compiler.options.context)
+						)
+					: undefined;
+				const cssEnvironment = {
+					browsers,
+					vendorPrefixes:
+						cssOptions === undefined || cssOptions.vendorPrefixes !== false
+				};

This needs a matching vendorPrefixes read in grammar so the prefix tables are skipped while _readsAll still answers from the selection.

Comment thread tooling/generate-css-data.js Resolved
alexander-akait added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 25, 2026
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

All four CodeRabbit findings are addressed, and the branch is rebased onto current main.

The major one was right. Reading the abilities off environment.browsers coupled them to vendorPrefixes, because defaults.js skipped resolving the selection when prefixes were off — correct while prefixes were its only reader, wrong once the abilities depended on it too. Confirmed the damage before fixing:

target: ie 11, prefixes on  -> .a{top:0;right:0;bottom:0;left:0}  rgba(255,0,0,.5)  (min-width:40em)
target: ie 11, prefixes OFF -> .a{inset:0}                        #ff000080         (width>=40em)

IE 11 reads none of the second line. The selection is now resolved whenever a target exists and the option gates the prefix work alone; ie 10 still gets display:-ms-flexbox, and vendorPrefixes: false still suppresses it. Covered by a new case in test/CssSyntax.unittest.js.

The three minor ones: the over-long comments are down to two lines, the stale prose above SUPPORT_BROWSERS now describes the pooled shape, and the changeset length prompted a bigger fix — this PR had six changesets where the guide asks for one, so they are folded into a single minor entry.

Verified on the rebased tree: 1168 unit tests, 1086 config snapshots, 5516 browser-equivalence checks, tsc clean, eslint clean.

…a test

The declarations were spliced by hand against a stale generator; this is
what tooling v1.28.1 emits. One unit test still passed `cssColorHexAlpha`,
which the schema no longer has — it asks for an old target instead.

…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.

…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.
