perf(javascript): hoist a chain's assignment and merge equal exits in the one pass - #22957
Stacked on #22956. This is another step toward the one-pass minifier (modules.onePass) producing smaller output than the default path. It adds two terser forms:
An if chain that prints as ?:, or a conditional, whose every branch assigns one local with one operator prints that assignment once, before the test. A compound assignment does this only where no test runs code.
Neighbouring ifs that leave the same way (break, continue, or return of nothing) print as one if testing each.
Yes: two rows in the one-pass case table in test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js, including shapes that stay as they are (an impure test with +=, mixed operators, member targets).
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?

Use of AI
Written with Claude Code: it found the patterns from per-function diffs against the default path, implemented them, measured gzip on six fixtures and checked behavior on terser's 672 expect_stdout cases.
JavaScript minification now combines adjacent if statements that share the same exit behavior and simplifies conditional branches that assign to the same variable.
Conditional assignment simplification supports matching assignment operators, with additional safeguards for compound assignments.
Tests
Added coverage for shared exits, chained assignments, and constant conditional branches.
… the one pass
In the one pass, an `if` chain printing as `?:`, or a conditional, whose
every branch assigns one local with one operator prints that assignment
once, before its test (`t+=c?a:b`); a compound one only where no test
runs code. `if`s next to each other that leave alike, by `break`,
`continue` or `return` of nothing, print as one testing each.

Walkthrough
The one-pass JavaScript printer now merges adjacent if statements with matching bare exits and hoists shared assignments from eligible conditional branches. New test cases cover these rewrites. A Changeset declares a webpack patch release.
The printer recognizes adjacent if statements with matching bare break, continue, or valueless return exits. After dead-code processing, it marks eligible pairs for merging and prints one exit body with a combined test. Test cases cover adjacent exits.
For eligible conditional branches, the printer emits a shared assignment target and operator once, then prints each branch’s value. Compound assignments require a side-effect-free test. Test cases cover conditional assignment output. The Changeset declares a patch release for webpack.

Review comments at @.changeset/068-one-pass-minify-folding.md:
- Line 5: Shorten the changeset description so it stays within the 80-character
limit, preserving the summary of hoisting shared assignments and merging
equivalent exits in the one-pass minifier.
Review comments at @lib/javascript/side-effects.js:
- Around line 142-163: Update mayThrowOnAccess to treat class reads as
potentially effectful when the class extends a superclass or defines a static
getter or setter, and treat object literals with a non-computed __proto__
property as potentially effectful. In the .prototype access branch, exempt only
FunctionExpression, not ClassExpression. Add printer unit cases for the three
reported member reads and verify each remains in the output.
Review comments at @lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js:
- Around line 66713-66715: Update hoistOf so it does not hoist assignments from
a conditional that dead-code folding will reduce to one branch; preserve the
kept branch’s assignment target and write. Add a regression row covering a
constant conditional with assignments in both branches and dead_code enabled.

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.
