🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Run JavaScript invariants before installation.

The default JavaScript entrypoint awaits installPackages(CACHE_NAME) before running any invariant checks. If npm ci is unavailable or exits non-zero, installPackages rejects and the default comparison exits without checking the required relations. This violates the documented before-install contract. JavaScript has no documented exemption.

Suggested fix

 const main = async () => {
+	await reportInvariants();
 	await installPackages(CACHE_NAME);

Update the main function to run the existing JavaScript invariant checks before
awaiting installPackages(CACHE_NAME), so the checks still run if installation
fails.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Validate entity names before preserving raw XML text.

XML_REFERENCE_REGEXP accepts ? in entity names. For input <r>&foo?;</r>, decoding leaves the undeclared reference unchanged, and the printer preserves the shorter raw text. The output is invalid XML. Keep valid unresolved references such as &undeclared;, but reject ? as an entity-name character.

Suggested fix

 const XML_BARE_AMPERSAND_REGEXP =
-	/&(?!(?:#(?:x[\da-fA-F]+|\d+)|[^\s&;#<>"'=/%]+);)/;
+	/&(?!(?:#(?:x[\da-fA-F]+|\d+)|[^\s&;#<>"'=/%?]+);)/;

Update the XML entity-reference validation used by _isXmlWellFormedText to
reject `?` in entity names, so malformed references are not preserved as raw
text while valid unresolved references such as `&undeclared;` remain accepted.

Compare legal-notice content, not only the count.

roundTrip must keep every legal notice from the input, but it receives only the notice count. An output that replaces /*! A */ with /*! B */, or duplicates one notice while dropping another, has the same count and returns -. This can hide a legal-notice loss in the comparison sweep.

Pass the legal-notice values to roundTrip and compare them as a multiset.

Suggested fix

- * @returns {number} how many are legal notices
+ * @returns {string[]} the legal notice values
  */
 const legalNoticesOf = (comments) =>
 	comments.filter(
 		(comment) => comment.type === "Block" && LEGAL_COMMENT.test(comment.value)

Update legalNoticesOf and roundTrip to pass and compare legal-notice values
rather than only their count. Compare the input and output notices as multisets
so changed notices and duplicates replacing dropped notices are detected, while
preserving the existing reporting of lost notices.

Pass cssOptions to both XML idempotence checks.

canonical uses target options, but both idempotence calls pass it without options. A target-aware preset can therefore produce equivalent source and lowered forms while idempotence reports differs. Bind cssOptions in both preset loops and pass it through the says callback.

Suggested fix

-		for (const [preset, options, cssOptions] of presets) {
+		for (const [preset, options, cssOptions] of presets) {
 			const minify = printerFor(options);
 			const { printed, reports } = wantedRelation("idempotence")

 						minify,
 						source: xml,
-						says: canonical,
+						says: value => canonical(value, cssOptions),
 						repro: (minified, at) => idempotenceRepro(minify, minified, at)

Update both XML idempotence checks to pass preset-specific options through their
`says` callbacks by calling `canonical` with `cssOptions`. Ensure both preset
loops bind `cssOptions`, including the loop that currently destructures only
`preset` and `options`.
