minifyCountedadds both themodules.printTreecalls and thewalkSyntaxTreecalls to oneprintedFromTreecount. Eligible sources take theprintThroughNodesroute, which makes onewalkSyntaxTreecall, so they count 1. A source printed bymodules.printTreealso counts 1.

…s right The node printer was handed `format` with the driver's own `code`, `ast` and `spidermonkey` keys, which the stream refuses; it now gets the options the stream gets. A global or sticky regular expression filter is tested ahead of printing, moving its `lastIndex`, so such a source prints through `printTree` instead.

`minifyCounted` added both routes into one count, so a source routed back to `printTree` still passed; each test now asserts which printer ran. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
Snapshot printed code and assert the printer counts apart, as the test guide asks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
A visitor of a JavaScript `SourceProcessor` run calling `minify` made the node printer start a second walk, which `walkSyntaxTree` refuses. While a walk runs, `minify` prints through `printTree` again, as `isWalkingSyntaxTree` tells it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
`NodeOutput#write` decided spaces and semicolons from one-character strings, built per piece with `String.fromCharCode` and tested with regular expressions. It reads the codes `head` and `tail` already hold instead. Estimated cycles (callgrind, cache simulated) for a print-only `minify`: lodash -2.3% / -2.1%, three -2.7% / -2.0% (no / default comments). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
The node printer asked `isPassedOver` of every node, reading two ancestors first; only seven types can answer yes, which a table now tells apart. Estimated cycles (callgrind, cache simulated) for a print-only `minify` of lodash: -2.5% with no comments, -1.3% with the default ones. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
Claiming every comment node by node costs the node printer more than `printTree` spends printing them: estimated cycles (callgrind, cache simulated) of a print-only `minify` with `comments: "all"` were 434M on `main` and 506M through the node printer for lodash, 756M and 945M for three. Such a source prints with `printTree` again; a regular expression keeping every comment still reaches the node printer, which the tests use. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
Names are 44% of the nodes of lodash and three. Where no comment of their own is read, `walkSyntaxTree` skips them and the node printer writes each into its parent's text as terser's stream does, instead of giving it a text, a store slot and a call of its own. Estimated cycles (callgrind, cache simulated) for a print-only `minify`: lodash -5.3% / -7.6%, three -8.7% / -7.0% (no / default comments). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
A parse for the node printer read every comment's line and column, which a line table over the whole source and a search per comment gave, though only a source map or a reader of the tokens asks. The table now places them when the tokens are read; a print that only probes their text, or prints those before the first token, never does. Estimated cycles (callgrind, cache simulated) for a print-only `minify`: lodash -4.8% / -4.9%, three -1.7% / -1.1% (no / default comments). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC

`parseProgram` leaves the tree it parsed for `A` to read, so a tree being there no longer means a walk is running: `isWalkingSyntaxTree` sent `minify` to `printTree` whenever one was parked. It reads `walking` now.
