build(tooling): hold webpack's CSS, HTML and XML parsers to the reference trees as an invariant - #22943
Follow-up to #22907 and #22937. The parse tables' agreement column now also runs as an invariant, agreement, for webpack's CSS, HTML and XML parsers. A webpack parser change that reads a source to a different tree than css-tree, parse5 or @rgrove/parse-xml now fails the invariants CI job, the same way JS is held to acorn.
Before turning it on, I checked the remaining disagreements in the repo's own test/ sources against the specs. None is a webpack bug:
Reader fixes:
css-tree leaves a stray ; in a block as raw text, which now reads as nothing, as the spec discards it.
parse5 now parses with scripting off, as webpack does. It used to read a <noscript> as raw text.
EXPECTED entries:
css-tree's recovery from invalid CSS differs from CSS Syntax 3 in 9 cases: a rule without a block, an unknown at-rule's block, a value holding a {} block, a junk statement ended by ;, and an escape the input ends in.
parse5 8.0.1 (the latest release) has no declarative shadow roots or customizable <select>.
Each entry gives its spec reason. The relation runs only where the reference is installed. Without it, the sweep names the reference as missing, and --require-corpus fails on that in CI.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?
build
Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes: test/unitCases/tooling/compare-agreement.unittest.js (each script's --invariants without its reference installed) and new cases in compare-{harness,css,html}.unittest.js.
Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No.
If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
Relation 8 added to tooling/COMPARE_TOOLS.md.
Use of AI
Written with Claude Code: it checked each disagreement against the CSS, HTML and XML specs, wrote the relation, tests and docs, and ran lint, the targeted tests and the full invariants. The requester directed the work and reviews it.
CSS, HTML, and XML comparison runs can check parsing agreement with reference parsers and report differences, compared inputs, and reference rejections.
If a reference parser is unavailable, agreement checks are skipped and the missing reference is reported. Requiring corpus references remains an option.
Documentation
Updated comparison-tool documentation to describe the agreement relation and its behavior.
Tests
Expanded coverage for agreement checks, unavailable references, and parser edge cases, including CSS semicolon handling and HTML parsing options.
…ence trees as an invariant
Add the agreement relation to the CSS, HTML and XML invariants, read css-tree's
stray semicolons as the spec discards them, parse parse5 with scripting off as
webpack does, and record the reference parsers' own divergences as expected.

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: 2310 test(s), 9368 asset(s), 103 emitted nothing.

Walkthrough
CSS, HTML, and XML comparison scripts now run parser-tree agreement invariants. The shared harness handles unavailable references and reference rejections. Parser integrations supply expected divergences, and XML invariant reporting is asynchronous. JavaScript printer tests remove event-handler minification cases.

Summary
Agreement sweep and missing-reference handling tooling/compare-tools-harness.js, test/unitCases/tooling/compare-harness.unittest.js, test/unitCases/tooling/compare-agreement.unittest.js, tooling/COMPARE_TOOLS.md
The harness loads a reference only when agreement is requested, filters agreement expectations when the reference is unavailable, and compares inputs accepted by the reference. Tests cover these cases. The documentation describes the relation.
The CSS reader skips raw nodes containing only whitespace and semicolons. The agreement sweep includes expected css-tree divergences and a test for a doubled semicolon.
HTML agreement comparison tooling/compare-html-tools.js, test/unitCases/tooling/compare-html.unittest.js
The parse5 reference uses scripting-disabled parsing. The agreement sweep includes expected divergences for declarative shadow roots and customizable selects.
XML agreement comparison and async reporting tooling/compare-xml-tools.js
The XML tool compares webpack’s tree with the reference parser, converts reference trees to events, and awaits invariant reporting in both execution paths.
The test suite removes one event-handler minification case and two tests that expected the original source to be returned.

The throws fixture is last, so the test passes even if the sweep stops after recording that finding. Add an accepted source after it that produces a distinct finding, then assert that finding.
