feat(javascript): read an event handler's body as one, with import phases - #22926
An onclick="" value is not a script: HTML compiles it into a function, so it is a FunctionBody. The syntax APIs could not read it as one, and jsMinify wrapped its text in function _(){…} and sliced the answer back out, losing the source map.
sourceType now takes "event-handler" beside "module" and "script", for parseProgram, process() and the printer's minify:
It is read as a function body (acorn's commonjs goal): return and new.target at its top, await/yield as names, no #! line, no import/export.
minify compresses it inside a function built around its tree, not its text, so every function-body rule applies and a name it reads undeclared stays the element's: value = 5; alert(value) is kept, var v = 5; alert(v) becomes alert(5). It prints the body without that function, leaving off the last ;.
jsMinify passes as through as sourceType, so a handler now maps:
Output size is unchanged against the old text wrapper on 1,328 real function bodies:

Also:
parseProgram and process() read import phases (import defer, import source).
The parse-error code table moves to its own generated module, lib/javascript/parse-error-codes.js, loaded by the first error reported: loading the parser retains 40.5 KB less (1,893.7 → 1,853.2 KB).
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
feat
Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes: each sourceType and import phases in test/unitCases/javascript/parser.unittest.js; handler compression, both print paths, process() and refusals in test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js.
Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No. sourceType only gains a value, and these syntax APIs are unreleased.
If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
docs/syntax.md describes sourceType and the new generated table.

The JavaScript parser, printer, and minifier now support CommonJS and event-handler source types. Parse-error codes are generated in a separate module and loaded on first use. Tests cover parsing, import phases, diagnostics, printing, minification, and source maps.
Changes: JavaScript parsing and event-handler support
The generator writes parse-error codes to a separate module. The parser loads the table when it first reports a parse error. Generated-file records, spell-check configuration, documentation, and changeset text are updated.
Add parser source types and import-phase handling lib/javascript/syntax-parser.js, test/unitCases/javascript/parser.unittest.js, docs/syntax.md
Parser options add CommonJS and event-handler source types and map them to parser goals and hashbang settings. Tests cover source-type diagnostics and import-phase metadata.
Print and minify CommonJS and event-handler bodies lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, lib/javascript/jsMinify.js, test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js
The printer parses function-body input, wraps it during compression, and restores body output. The minifier passes sourceType through the standard result and source-map path. Tests cover output, compression, maps, and rejected syntax.

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: 2305 test(s), 9357 asset(s), 103 emitted nothing.
The event-handler path is exercised, but its tests only check map.sources and that result.map is an object. The reference comparison skips maps for this option. A map object with missing or incorrect mappings therefore passes the handler tests. Add a position-sensitive expected mapping assertion for a non-empty handler body.

With sourceType: "commonjs" or "event-handler" and compress: { module: true }, the generated wrapper is treated as a top-level module function. Module compression enables top-level function removal. Because the wrapper is unreferenced, compression can remove it before unwrapFunctionBody runs, so unwrapFunctionBody can dereference an absent wrapper and throw.
The same boundary must also override explicit mangle.module so mangling uses the selected source production.
Suggested fix
const { sourceType } = options;
const functionBody =
sourceType === "event-handler" || sourceType === "commonjs";
+ const module = sourceType === "module";
// It names the production over any `module` given, the parse's included.
if (sourceType !== undefined) {
- options.module = sourceType === "module";+ options.module = module;
options.parse = { ...options.parse, module: options.module };
}

`sourceType: "event-handler"` reads a source as the function body HTML
compiles an event handler attribute into, for `parseProgram`, `process`
and the printer's `minify`. `jsMinify` minifies a handler through it
instead of wrapping its text, so the answer now maps. `parseProgram` and
`process` read import phases, and the parse-error code table loads with
the first error reported.
