feat(css,html): add renderEmbeddedSource for source one language embeds in another - #21830

Rebasing the switches onto #21830 put three of its lines inside a
`url()` that now asks two switches about its own spelling, and text that
merges cleanly is not the same as meaning that does:

- the renderer reads a data URL's payload, which is what the
  percent-escapes hold, so it is offered the decoded one whatever
  `escapes` says — that switch decides how the escapes are printed, not
  whether a data URL holds a document;
- what the renderer hands back is no longer what the quotes were written
  around, so `_serializeUrl` picks its spelling afresh — and the two
  spellings below the quoted one are the unquoting `quotes` names, so
  with it off the payload keeps its quotes;
- a rendered bare `url()` writes the lowercased `url(` the rest of them
  do.

…inifier rewrite as an option (#21834)

* feat(css): print every case-insensitive name in one case

CSS matches a property, at-keyword, function, `url()`, pseudo, media
feature, media type and unit ASCII case-insensitively, but the printer
wrote each back as authored — so one document could spell the same name
several ways and a compressor saw each as its own token.

Each is now printed lowercase, and the names whose canonical spelling
carries a capital keep it: `translateX` and the ten other transforms
`mdn-data`'s function table capitalizes, and `Hz` / `kHz` / `Q` from its
unit table, derived in the generator rather than listed.

What stays as authored: a type selector (`linearGradient` is its own SVG
element), an id, a class, an attribute name and its value, a custom
property, a `@keyframes` / `@container` / custom-media name, a name
carrying an escape (`\G` is not `\g`), and `@charset`, which the engine
reads as literal bytes rather than matching.

* feat(css): lowercase a keyword value where the property takes no name

271 properties spell their whole value out as keywords — `display`,
`position`, `float`, `overflow`, every `*-style`, `white-space` — and
CSS matches each ASCII case-insensitively, so an identifier standing
directly in one of their values is a keyword rather than a name of the
author's and can be printed the one way it matches.

The set is derived in the generator from the same grammar walk the other
property tables use: a property qualifies when its top-level value
grammar reaches no value class at all. A call's arguments are read
against the function's grammar, not the property's, so the printer
lowercases only an identifier that is a direct child of the declaration
— which is also what keeps `stylistic(Foo)` and `var(--Foo)` untouched.

The property lookup runs only once the identifier is known to carry a
capital, so a value already written lowercase costs one scan it was
paying for anyway.

* feat(css): name each minifier rewrite on optimization.minimize.css

Every CSS rewrite was unconditional, so a document one of them tripped
over could only be minified by turning minification off altogether.

Ten switches now name them — `colors`, `escapes`, `functions`,
`lowercase`, `mediaQueries`, `numbers`, `quotes`, `rules`, `selectors`,
`shorthands` — each on unless it is `false`, and each read off the same
`optimization.minimize.css` object `convertLengthUnits` already sits in.
The HTML minimizer hands them to the CSS minifier it runs over an inline
`<style>` and every `style=""`, so an inline declaration is rewritten by
the same switches its `.css` twin is.

Inside the printer they are one fixed-shape object rather than a flag
apiece, read once per print and asked at the head of the helper each
rewrite already lived in, so a switch left alone costs one property read
on the path that was going to run anyway.

A keyword value on a property that takes a color is lowercased with the
rest now: `<color>` is keywords and numbers, so `CanvasText` there is
the `canvastext` the CSSOM hands back.

* feat(html): name each minifier rewrite on optimization.minimize.html

The HTML side had the same gap the CSS side did: a page one rewrite
tripped over could only be minified by turning minification off. Ten
switches now name them — `booleanAttributes`, `comments`,
`enumeratedAttributes`, `listAttributes`, `minifyJson`, `minifyStyles`,
`numericAttributes`, `optionalTags`, `quotes`, `urlAttributes` — each on
unless it is `false`, which is what the value-rewrite TODO asked for.

`optionalTags` covers the tags §13.1.2.4 lets the parser imply other
than the `<html>` / `<head>` / `<body>` shell; `removeImpliedTags` keeps
that shell to itself, so the two do not overlap.

The CSS switches the HTML minimizer forwards to the nested CSS minifier
are now `cssTransforms`, leaving `transforms` for HTML's own — each
language picks its own out of the flat options object with its own
`pickTransforms`.

* perf(css): stop restating what the minifier's data tables can derive

Three things the generated tables said twice, and one that cost a
thousand objects to say at all:

- `PREFIX_BROWSERS` was `SUPPORT_BROWSERS` name for name. There is one
  list of browsers the tables answer for, so a browser is now named by
  its place in it — which is also the slot a parsed selection holds its
  versions in, so no lookup goes through a name any more.
- `PREFIX_WINDOWS` held 710 three-element arrays inside 154 lists, each
  repeating one of thirteen browser names; `SUPPORT_PROFILES` held 73
  rows of thirteen. Both are now one `Float64Array` of numbers laid end
  to end, the windows indexed by a `PREFIX_WINDOW_STARTS` companion.
- `Infinity` marked a version that never arrives, which prints as an
  identifier and cost the emitted file six times its lines; a finite
  `NEVER` past every real version does the same job as a number.
- `SVG_TAG_ADJUST` and `SVG_ATTR_ADJUST` keyed 95 camelCase names by the
  same names lowercased. The generator states the names alone now and
  the key is derived, so a key cannot drift from its value.

`lib/css/data.js` retains 747 KiB where it retained 863 KiB, measured
with `--expose-gc` over six collections; the file itself is 152 KiB
where it was 159 KiB, and `lib/html/data.js` 46 KiB where it was 47 KiB.

* refactor(css): say each of the printers' repeated blocks once

Five blocks the CSS and HTML printers stated twice, each now one
definition — same code, same call profile, none of it on a per-token
path:

- resolving and picking the per-transform switches was verbatim in both
  languages, so it moves to `util/SourceProcessor`, which is where the
  rest of what the two share already lives;
- `_releaseColumns` gives the node columns back, so a new column is
  added in one place rather than in two that have to agree;
- `_enterAtRulePrelude` sets the flags an at-rule's name decides, which
  the collected and streaming walks were spelling out separately;
- `_emitHeld` emits the top-level rule held back for a join, from the
  four sites that each wrote its seven arguments out;
- `_fosterPlace` is §13.2.6.1's foster-parenting place, which the
  adoption agency's copy carried a "reuse appropriatePlace logic but
  rooted differently: emulate" note over.

Minifying `test/configCases/css/large/tailwind.module.css` takes the
same time either side — medians 233.8/228.5 ms before, 234.8/224.3 ms
after, against a 15 ms run-to-run spread — for byte-identical output,
and the 20330 html5lib tree-construction cases still pass.

* test: refresh the CLI flags the minifier switches add

Every schema property becomes a CLI flag, so the twenty switches
`optimization.minimize.css` and `.html` now name add twenty entries to
the snapshot the flags are read back from.

* feat(css): name the minimizer's comment handling, and part it from HTML's

Dropping comments was the one CSS rewrite no option reached: csso and
cssnano both name it, and turning it off meant turning minification off.
`optimization.minimize.css.comments` now names the three levels csso
does — `true` keeps a `/*!` banner, an `@license` / `@preserve`
annotation and the source-map pragma, `false` keeps every comment, and
`"all"` keeps nothing but the pragma — with `preserveComments` patterns
outranking all three, as the HTML minimizer's already do.

Two things this turned up:

- both languages name a `quotes` and a `preserveComments`, and the HTML
  minimizer was handed one flat object holding both sets, so
  `minimize.css.quotes` decided HTML's attribute quoting and
  `minimize.html.preserveComments` decided what an inline `<style>`
  kept. `optimization.minimize.css` now rides under its own key, and
  each language picks its switches out of its own object;
- a quoted `url()` decoded its data-URI percent-escapes only when
  `quotes` was on, though `escapes` is what documents that rewrite. The
  two now answer for one thing each, so a data URI can shed its escapes
  and keep its quotes.

Probing every transform `cssnano-preset-default` runs against the switch
set: each one webpack implements is now reachable by exactly one switch,
save collapsing whitespace, which is what minifying is.

* fix(css): let the transform switches and renderEmbeddedSource compose

Rebasing the switches onto #21830 put three of its lines inside a
`url()` that now asks two switches about its own spelling, and text that
merges cleanly is not the same as meaning that does:

- the renderer reads a data URL's payload, which is what the
  percent-escapes hold, so it is offered the decoded one whatever
  `escapes` says — that switch decides how the escapes are printed, not
  whether a data URL holds a document;
- what the renderer hands back is no longer what the quotes were written
  around, so `_serializeUrl` picks its spelling afresh — and the two
  spellings below the quoted one are the unquoting `quotes` names, so
  with it off the payload keeps its quotes;
- a rendered bare `url()` writes the lowercased `url(` the rest of them
  do.

* feat(css,html): one comments option per language, in terser's six forms

`comments` and `preserveComments` were two options answering one
question, and neither answered it the way the JavaScript side already
does. They fold into `comments`, which takes what terser's
`format.comments` takes: `"some"` (the default) keeps the ones that
carry something, `true` / `"all"` keeps every comment, `false` keeps
none, and a string, a `RegExp` or a `(comment) => boolean` is asked
about each comment's own text — standing in for the default rule rather
than beside it, as terser's does, so a pattern that names nothing else
drops what `"some"` would have kept.

Each language keeps a floor no level reaches past, because the two mean
different things by "a comment that carries something": CSS keeps the
`/*#` source-map pragma, which is a link; HTML keeps a downlevel
conditional comment, a server-side include and a `<?…?>` directive,
which are code.

A predicate reaches the minimizer's worker pool through the same
serialize-and-evaluate path terser's does, so it works under parallel
minification and must not close over anything.

The seven changesets this branch had collapse into the one entry the
whole of it is.

* feat(css,html): name each minifier switch for what it does to what

`functions` said what a switch was about and nothing about what it did
with it, and it was not alone: `colors`, `escapes`, `numbers`, `quotes`,
`rules`, `selectors`, `shorthands` and HTML's `booleanAttributes`,
`optionalTags`, `quotes`, `urlAttributes` and the three `*Attributes`
read the same way. Every one is now verb-first, which is what
`cssnano-preset-default` (`discardComments`, `mergeRules`,
`minifySelectors`, `reduceTransforms`), html-minifier-terser
(`collapseBooleanAttributes`, `removeOptionalTags`,
`removeAttributeQuotes`) and webpack's own older HTML options
(`collapseWhitespace`, `removeEmptyAttributes`) already do:

  colors -> shortenColors            booleanAttributes -> collapseBooleanAttributes
  escapes -> shortenEscapes          optionalTags -> removeOptionalTags
  functions -> reduceFunctions       quotes -> normalizeAttributeQuotes
  lowercase -> lowercaseNames        urlAttributes -> trimUrlAttributes
  mediaQueries -> shortenMediaQueries  enumeratedAttributes -> normalizeEnumeratedAttributes
  numbers -> shortenNumbers          listAttributes -> normalizeListAttributes
  quotes -> normalizeQuotes          numericAttributes -> normalizeNumericAttributes
  selectors -> shortenSelectors

Two CSS switches did two things each, which no single verb could say
honestly, so each splits the way cssnano splits it: `rules` into
`removeDeadRules` and `mergeRules`, `shorthands` into `shortenValues`
and `mergeLonghands`.

Probing every transform against the new names turned up one gate that
was missing rather than misnamed: writing an empty attribute value as
the bare name is the `=""` going, which is a quoting decision, so it
answers to `normalizeAttributeQuotes` like the rest of them.

* perf(css): stop folding a name twice, and read the tables once

Proving the re-encoded version tables cost nothing turned up what does.
Measured against a null test — the same build under both names, which
this machine calls ±0.6% — the branch was 5-9% slower than main on real
stylesheets, and every bit of it was the case folding walking a name a
second time:

- a value identifier was folded by `toLowerCaseIfNeeded` for the named
  colour lookup and again by `asciiLowerCaseName` for the keyword one.
  One fold now answers both, and the second walk is the shouted names'
  to pay;
- a declaration's name was folded for the value rules and again to be
  printed. Same fix;
- `asciiLowerCaseName` walked the characters to ask whether anything
  folds at all. `toLowerCase` answers that natively and hands back the
  very string it was given where nothing does, so it is a pointer
  compare and no allocation;
- the canonical-spelling table was read for every number and every call,
  where only a name that carried a capital can have an entry;
- a `url()` cut its own name out to fold it, on every url;
- `_inKeywordOnlyValue` read, folded and looked up the property once per
  identifier rather than once per declaration.

And one that was neither: `_transforms` was the frozen table where no
switch was set and a copy where one was, and `Object.freeze` gives an
object a hidden class of its own — so every one of the ~45 reads, one
per token, saw two shapes. It is always a copy now, made the one way.

What is left, against the same null test: the branch is +1.3% on
tailwind and +0.5% on bootstrap with the folding off — where its output
is byte-identical to main's — and +2.3% to +6.6% with it on, which is
the feature, and `lowercaseNames: false` is the switch that returns it.
The re-encoded tables are themselves 1.4% *faster* on tailwind, and
`lib/css/data.js` retains 753 KiB where main's retains 842.

* refactor(css,html): drop the three switches nothing needs to turn off

`lowercaseNames`, `shortenEscapes` and `trimUrlAttributes` named rewrites
the spec makes safe by construction, and none of the three is a place a
bug could hide that the others do not already cover:

- an escape and the character it names are one token (CSS Syntax 3 §4.3.7),
  so shortening one cannot change what parses. Both escape rewrites
  predate this branch and had no switch before it;
- so does trimming a URL attribute: the URL parser strips the leading and
  trailing whitespace before it resolves anything (URL §4.4);
- and every name CSS matches ASCII case-insensitively means the same
  thing in either case, which is the whole premise of the folding.

They join the normalizations that were already unconditional for the
same reason — collapsing whitespace, the `<!doctype>` keyword, HTML tag
and attribute names, character references.

The one thing a switch was still buying on `lowercaseNames` was a way to
decline its cost, so that is gone first: the unit is folded once for both
the printed spelling and the angle test rather than twice, and folding a
selector's pseudo names now shares the pass that drops a CSS2
pseudo-element's second colon — the two read the same part after the same
`:`, and the fold is what the legacy name is then matched against.

Against a null test of ±1.1%, the branch is +2.0% on bootstrap, +2.1% on
bulma and +2.3% on tailwind, where it was +2.3% to +6.6% before.

* refactor(css,html): keep each printer's options in its own file

`util/SourceProcessor.js` is the visitor coordinator every language binds
its own grammar to, and it had no business knowing what a minifier
switch or a comment is. It grew three helpers because the two syntaxes
held identical copies and a de-duplication pass moved them to the nearest
shared file — which optimized for repeating no lines over each module
owning its own concern, and put language detail in the one file that is
meant to stay language-agnostic and is the one most likely to be
standardized or made public.

The file is byte-identical to `main` again. Each syntax now resolves its
own `transforms`, picks its own switches out of a wider options object
and reads its own `comments` level, over its own table — and the two are
free to part, which is already true: CSS's `"some"` keeps a `/*!` banner
and HTML's keeps a server-side directive.

The two copies are near-identical today and that is the point: the
duplication is between two files that describe different languages,
where the shared helper was a coupling between them.

What had to survive the move is the hidden-class discipline — a resolved
object is built by spreading the frozen table and writing over names it
already has, so every per-token read of `_transforms` sees one shape.
Both copies do, and it measures the same: byte-identical output either
side of the move, and against a null test of ±0.2% the branch is -0.0%
on bootstrap and +2.5% on tailwind, where it stood before it.

* fix(css,html): keep a name folded only where the engine reads it back

The case fold reached two places it must not. A value the engine keeps as
the tokens it was written as until a substitution resolves now prints its
function, url and unit spellings as written, and an
`@font-feature-values` sub-rule's declaration names stay case-sensitive:
they are `<custom-ident>` feature values, so folding made two distinct
entries collide.

Also from review: `optimization.minimize.css: false` now reaches the CSS
inside a document, `reduceFunctions` and `mergeLonghands` govern the last
rewrite each was missing, a comment selector decides the source-map pragma
like any other comment, and a parser-inserted table group prints its start
tag whenever its end tag prints.

* fix(config): leave minimize.css to the css assets, and refresh the cli snapshot

`minimize.css: false` selects which asset types are minimized, not whether
CSS is rewritten anywhere: `configCases/optimization/minimize-html-only`
states that a disabled type carries no options to forward, and its inline
css still minifies. `minimize.html.minifyStyles: false` is the switch for
that, which this branch is what adds.

The cli flags are derived from the schema, so the `comments` description
moves `Cli.basictest`'s snapshot with it.

* test(html): drive the second table group's kept start tag

##### Minor Changes

- Wrap concatenated modules in lazy `__webpack_require__.cw` accessors and inline `require()`, keeping a wrapped body's names and side effects intact. (by [@&#8203;hai-x](https://github.com/hai-x) in [#&#8203;21519](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21519))

- Add performance hints reporting what a build costs: duplicate packages and modules, circular dependencies, broad contexts, large modules and chunks, hotspots, `eval`, missing PURE annotations, polyfills, redundant dynamic imports, OS-dependent rules, cache effectiveness, how chunks load, what splitting refused, why an optimization was skipped, and rules, defines, externals, aliases and barrel reexports nothing uses. An oversized asset names its largest modules, and an entrypoint carrying the runtime recommends `optimization.runtimeChunk`. Enable every check not set individually with `performance.all`, report hints in stats only with `performance.hints: "stats"`, and get them in a stable order that leaves the build hashes unchanged. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))

- Add the `descriptionRelativePath` module rule condition.

- Add OS-independent `glob` matching to module rules.

- Report inner-graph, AMD and bare `module` bailouts in `optimizationBailout`.

- Add the `externalsPresets.nodeModules` preset with an `allowlist` option to externalize installed packages, replacing the `webpack-node-externals` plugin.

- Add `output.library.umdAmdContainer` for an AMD-style loader branch in UMD. (by [@&#8203;hai-x](https://github.com/hai-x) in [#&#8203;21770](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21770))

- Add the `__webpack_css_server_styles__` module variable to read the CSS collected while rendering without a DOM, and keep that CSS in the order the styles were applied. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21576](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21576))

- Patch the HTML `<head>` in place on hot update instead of forcing a full reload, including when a `<script>` that never executed is removed. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21624](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21624))

- Scope counter names in CSS modules; fix the `counter()` counter-style and `animation` timeline keywords. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21600](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21600))

- Derive `import defer` / `import source` from the target and fix the source phase. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21810](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21810))

- Emit analyzable ESM urls for chunks, assets, styles, workers and wasm. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21788](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21788))

- Tree shake CommonJS: `module.exports` object literals, exports destructured from a `require()` binding, unused method requires, and unused side-effect-free `require()` calls and reexports. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))

- Resolve relative entry `baseUri` values and bake one side of a hash cycle. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21750](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21750))

- Minify CSS further, only where the document is unchanged: shorthands and box longhands, `font-weight`, `<position>` and `font-stretch` keywords, colors (polar, Lab and `hsl()` converted to hex), numbers, times, zero units, `calc()` and every math function the spec names folded over constants, selector lists, An+B, keyframe selectors, media-feature ranges, `unicode-range`, `transition` layers, `display`, transforms, gradients, font families, identical repeated declarations, and rules an identical later one makes dead. Abilities are read off the target browsers, `vendorPrefixes` adds and drops vendor prefixes for them, and `rewriteCustomProperties` shortens custom property values. Minification never changes whether a declaration parses, and beautifying keeps every rule. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))

- Safely minify CSS (with source maps) and HTML assets when `optimization.minimize` is enabled, unless a minimizer is already configured for them, making only transformations an engine cannot tell apart. Every rewrite is named as an option, so it can be switched off. (by [@&#8203;alexander-akait](https://github.com/alexander-akait) in [#&#8203;21841](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/pull/21841))

- Minify HTML further where the parsed document is unchanged: drop redundant quotes, whitespace nothing renders, escapes text does not need, implied tags, optional end tags nothing prints behind, empty attributes and nested empty elements; fold enumerated values and casing; normalize each attribute against the element it is on; and rewrite `style`, token lists, `srcset`, `sizes`, URL, integer and boolean attributes, viewport `content`, inline `<style>` and a JSON `<script>` body through their own grammars. Adds the `optimization.minimize.html` options `collapseWhitespace`, `mergeStyles`, `minifyConditionalComments`, `minifySrcdoc`, `preserveComments`, `removeEmptyAttributes`, `removeEmptyElements`, `removeImpliedTags`, `removeRedundantAttributes`, `sortAttributes` and `sortTokenLists`, and keeps an end tag the parent, the next element or the adoption agency would otherwise restructure the tree over.

- Follow the HTML spec more closely when parsing and printing: frameset content, quirks paragraphs and selects, `<![CDATA[` outside foreign content as a bogus comment, `<?target data?>` as a processing instruction, `</>` dropped, comment data and DOCTYPE identifiers read from the tokenizer states, attributes merged from a repeated `<html>`/`<body>` tag, legacy JavaScript script types, void `keygen` and font format detection — and hand back the tree a parsed document was built from when printing it.
