feat(javascript): print a JavaScript source with SourceProcessor - #22882
Conversation
The JavaScript SourceProcessor prints as the CSS and HTML ones do:
process(src, { mode: "minify" }) fires a node printer per node once its
children are printed, writing what minify writes for a source it neither
compresses nor mangles, comments left out.

- Line 5: Shorten the changeset description to 80 characters or fewer, keeping
it as one capitalized, imperative sentence with a trailing period.
Review comments at @lib/javascript/syntax-parser.js:
- Line 21270: Update the `_walkState` export so it is not exposed as an
underscore-prefixed helper: keep the shared logic within its owning module, or,
if it must be public, give it a public name and full JSDoc.
Review comments at @lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js:
- Line 57291: Update both static and dynamic import generators around
output.print("import") to read and print Part.phase when present, matching the
existing tree printer; preserve normal import output when no phase is set.
- Around line 57049-57058: Update the NodeType.Program generator to emit the
configured format.preamble before displayBody(node), including when comments are
disabled, while preserving the existing shebang handling.

The printer reads the tree and the nodes enclosing the one printed off the JavaScript path rather than a private export, writes format.preamble after the #! line as minify does, and the changeset fits one line.

For
!/a/ in obj, the left operand is aUnaryExpression, so this literal-only guard fails. The printer emits!/a/in obj, which readsinas regexp flags and causes a syntax error.Check the emitted suffix instead of only the immediate operand type, or propagate terminal-literal metadata through enclosing expressions.

Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes:

No.
