472-476: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert both transformations in the emitted code.
This case enables mangling, but its local names are already one character long. The harness checks runtime equivalence and that the output is shorter than the improvement-disabled output; it does not assert a mangled identifier or a
const-to-letsubstitution. A regression in the combined print path can therefore pass these checks. Add an expected-code assertion that requires both transformations.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

- Line 7761: Update printExit to mark the recording stream as diverged when the
argument has comments_before that the readonly print would use to parenthesize
it, but those comments were not added to printed_comments; this ensures the fast
path falls back to the tree count. Add a unit case with a dropped comment before
a return argument and verify its output matches the tree-count path.

The mangle phase printed the tree twice: once to count the characters the names are chosen from, once for the result. It now prints before the names are chosen, recording where each name and each import or export `as` clause lies, counts the characters off that text and writes the names into it once chosen, moving the source map's columns with them. The `let` declarations the improve phase left for after naming are written before that print, and the count puts back what they changed. A print that wrote a comment, shebang or preamble still counts with a print of its own, as those are not counted.

#22473 counts a conversion as code that may run, so the value #22499's improved case moved past `console` now has effects and stays put; it now moves a comparison, which converts nothing. And #22499 now shortens #22473's literal case, whose assertion holds the output to terser's, so that case runs with the improve phase off. With both in, `vercel/ms` is bigger than oxc's output again (787 against 781 gzip), so it goes back on OXC_SMALLER, where #22499 had retired it on its own. And #22502 leaves terser's `side_effects_cascade_3` no bigger than oxc's, so it comes off.

Summary
The mangle phase printed the tree twice, as terser does: once to count the characters the names are chosen from, once for the result. Printing is the largest single cost after the compressor on typescript.js, and the two prints are the same text up to the names.
It now prints once, before the names are chosen, recording where each piece mangling rewrites lies: every name a definition owns, each
constthe improve phase writes aslet, and each import or exportasclause (whether{c as t}collapses to{t}is decided by the mangled name). The characters are counted off that text less the names recorded, the names are chosen as before, and the patch writes them into the text, moving the source map's columns on each line with them. The recording is twoInt32Arrays and one array of definitions, grown by doubling.The fast path applies to webpack's own minifier defaults: no
mangle.properties, no private names, the default format options (ecma5, so no shorthand properties), and no comment, shebang or preamble written — those are not counted, so a print that wrote one counts with the lean print of its own as before, and only the second print's text is reused. A given tree (format.astinput) keeps the old path.Step 3 of the plan.

Did you add tests for your changes?
One improvement case is added, the
constwritten asletwith the names mangled, which reaches the recordedlet. The existing mangling tests, held to terser's output and maps, cover the rest: kept names by a global regexp, a name cache, import and export specifiers whose shape the mangled name decides, names beyond ASCII, and source maps.Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No.
