feat(css): let a visitor replace or remove the node it visits - #22906
The SourceProcessor path could only read. A CSS visitor can now change what the node it visits prints as, so a plugin can rewrite a value, a declaration, a selector or a rule while webpack minifies the rest.
newSourceProcessor().use({[NodeType.Hash]: (path)=>path.replace("blue")}).process("a{color:#ff0000;margin-top:1px}",{mode: "minify"}).code;// before: no way to change it — "a{color:red;margin-top:1px}"// after: "a{color:blue;margin-top:1px}"
path.replace(text) / path.remove() act on the current node, when it prints after its visitors; the printer still runs for what it records. On a walk that prints nothing they do nothing. A declaration's ; is optional.
What holds a replaced node prints its children's text without the minifier's rewrites, since those read fields the replacement no longer matches (a{margin:0;margin-top:<replaced>} stays two declarations); the rest of the sheet minifies as before. A replaced rule keys as its whole text for the duplicate-rule cut.
PrintContext#replace carries it for any language. HTML and JavaScript paths don't get the members yet: HTML streams most elements to the output before their exit, and JavaScript decides parentheses and spacing from the original node (docs/syntax.md says so).
Output without visitors is byte-identical to main (tooling/hash-css-outputs.js, 6678 entries) and minify speed is neutral (executed instructions −0.1%, interleaved wall time within ±2%).
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
feat
Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes: test/unitCases/css/parser.unittest.js (replacing a value token, a declaration and a rule in minify and beautify, removing in an enter visitor, rewrites kept off only for what holds an edit, walk-only no-op) and test/unitCases/SourceProcessor.unittest.js (PrintContext#replace).
Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No. PrintContext#printNode now returns whether it stored a replacement (it returned nothing).
If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
docs/syntax.md (the node path table and its conventions).
Use of AI
Written with Claude Code: it designed and implemented the members, mapped the HTML and JavaScript printers to scope them out, and ran the output-hash, unit-test, lint and speed gates; the direction was set by the author.
CSS visitors can replace or remove nodes while printing. Nonempty declaration replacements receive a trailing semicolon when needed.
Documentation
Clarified that replacements and removals apply during printing, not walk-only processing, and have limits for comments, streamed CSS rules, HTML, and JavaScript. Edited nodes and their containing output are printed without transforms; unchanged nodes retain normal printing.
Bug Fixes
Improved custom-property value printing to preserve source text, whitespace, and comments while applying visitor edits.
`path.replace(text)` and `path.remove()` print the current node as the
given text, or as nothing, when it prints after its visitors; the
printer still runs for what it records. What holds a replaced node
prints its children's text without the minifier's rewrites, which read
fields the replacement no longer matches, and a replaced rule keys as
its whole text. `PrintContext#replace` carries it for every language;
HTML and JavaScript paths get writes once their printers stop streaming
and stop deciding parentheses from the original node.

Read Changed, test untouched first: the test is byte-identical on both sides, so webpack generated the difference. Changed, test edited moved partly because the test did — Test edit is how many bytes the test gained, and a bundle that grew by less is not a regression. New and Deleted are whole files, not deltas — a new asset was created, not grown, so it reads gray (⚪ added) — and adding tests cannot bury a real change. Gzip decides, because that is what users download; raw is the tiebreak, and brotli and zstd are per asset below.
No asset changed size.
No runtime gained or lost a runtime module.
Built test/configCases with the defaults a user gets: 2290 test(s), 9200 asset(s), 101 emitted nothing.

CSS visitor paths add replace(text) and remove() for print-time writes. PrintContext queues replacement text for a node. CSS printing applies edits and adjusts printing of affected ancestors, including custom-property values. Tests and documentation describe the behavior and its limits.

PrintContext queues replacement text for a node’s next print and reports whether it used the replacement. Tests cover replacement consumption and subsequent printing.

CSS visitor paths add replace(text) and remove(). Printing tracks edits, handles streamed rules, and suppresses transforms within affected ancestors. Documentation and the changeset describe write operations and limits.

Custom-property printing preserves source text around edited descendants. Tests cover replacement and removal across CSS node types, comments, streamed rules, block contents, and custom-property values.

edits for activated streamed rules: make them no-ops on that path, or discard

Keep visitor replacements in default custom-property values.
With rewriteCustomProperties off, which is the default, _customPropertyToken prints each token from its source text. It returns _printedSource(child) and does not read any replacement stored for that node. A replace(text) call on a token in a default custom-property value, such as the Hash in --brand:#f00, can therefore be missing from the output. The non-minified branch in lib/css/syntax-printer.js slices _S._input directly, so it has the same gap.
Print the replacement text when a visitor edited the token. Keep the source text for every other token. PrintContext.get() cannot serve as that check. For unedited tokens it returns printer output, which is minified and would break the verbatim rule for this branch. A way to tell an edited node's stored text from printer output is needed.

Use replacement text when printing custom-property tokens.
If a visitor replaces a token in --x:#fff, PrintContext stores the replacement, but _customPropertyToken returns the token’s source when rewriteCustomProperties is off. The default custom-property print therefore keeps #fff instead of the visitor’s text. Read the stored text for an edited token while preserving the source-text path for unedited tokens.
