feat(javascript): drop unread classes and declarations only each other reads when minifying - #23040
The corpora budgets go down to the new totals (terser compress 1.0605 → 1.059, swc minifier 1.0087 → 1.0018, oxc minifier 1.0256 → 1.0246). The swc and oxc entries the output now matches are retired.
Minification removes more unused declarations and classes, including mutually dependent declarations, while retaining code needed by reachable reads or potentially effectful class evaluation.
Logical-expression analysis accounts for short-circuiting, so branches that cannot run are not evaluated.
Comments attached to removed declarations are omitted, while comments that keep declarations in place are preserved.
Minification folds known switches and literals and removes additional dead code.
…r reads when minifying
A class whose heritage and static parts are pure now goes when nothing
reads it, and declarations that only read one another (a cycle nothing
printed reaches) go together. `&&`, `||` and `??` with a literal left
side skip the right side's effects when it never runs.
The corpora budgets drop to the new totals and the swc and oxc entries
the minifier now matches are retired.

Merging this PR will not cause a version bump for any packages. If these changes should not result in a new version, you're good to go. If these changes should result in a version bump, you need to add a changeset.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.

Walkthrough
The minifier now accounts for short-circuit evaluation when analyzing logical-expression effects. It also removes additional unread declarations, including pure classes and mutually dependent unread declarations. Printer tests, corpus fixtures, and minifier size budgets are updated.
Side-effect analysis checks the left operand first and checks the right operand only when it may execute. Class heritage analysis can use an optional constructor check.
Unused declaration analysis and removal lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js, .changeset/065-minify-remaining-gaps.md
Unused-binding analysis handles pure classes and unread declaration cycles. Class heritage reads, moved-function read accounting, and comment handling are updated. Printer tests cover declaration removal, retained dependencies, side effects, and comments. The changeset description now includes unread classes.
Corpus and size-budget updates test/helpers/oxcSmaller.js, test/helpers/swcSmaller.js, test/specCases/minify-corpora.spectest.js
OXC, SWC, and Terser fixture lists change. The allowed gzip-size ratios for the Terser, SWC minifier, and OXC minifier corpora are lowered.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title uses the conventional-commit form with type "feat" and scope "javascript", which meets the required format. The title describes the main change: dropping unread classes and declarations that only read each other when minifying. The changeset supports this, since the printer adds unread-class and declaration-cycle removal. The title does not conflict with the branch prefix check, because the branch name was not provided in the context, so that part of the requirement cannot be verified. The title does not state the short-circuit literal change, but it does not need to, because that change is secondary.

- Around line 11575-11577: Update the moveReads handling in findNode so it only
recursively discounts a moved callee’s body reads when that callee is not

the function.

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.

Include ?? in regex literal short-circuiting.
539-549: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Include ?? in regex literal short-circuiting.
A regex literal produces a non-null object, so /x/ ?? sideEffect() never evaluates sideEffect(). skipsRight currently returns false for ??, which makes hasSideEffects inspect the unreachable right operand. isPureValue then rejects the initializer as pure, so an unused initializer or expression can remain in the minified output.

Update skipsRight so regex literals are treated as short-circuiting for the ??
operator as well as ||. Preserve the existing behavior for other operators.

…ructor
The heritage check moves into the side-effects rules, through a
`heritageConstructs` hook only the minifier sets, so an unread class
expression `class extends f {}` keeps the TypeError it throws as a
declaration does. A heritage constructs where it is `null`, an unset
built-in constructor, or a class a declaration or a variable a class
expression sets made before it and never set since.

…_retain when minifying (#23042)
* feat(javascript): honor pure_funcs, drop_console, global_defs and top_retain when minifying
The one pass now reads terser's compress options that name calls,
globals and names, which it accepted and ignored:
- `pure_funcs` marks the calls whose callee is written as named pure;
- `drop_console` drops a global `console` method's call with its
arguments, every method or the ones listed;
- `global_defs` replaces a global nothing sets with its primitive value,
so `if (DEBUG)` folds;
- `drop_debugger` drops `debugger` statements unless turned off;
- `top_retain` keeps the top-level names it lists, matches or answers;
- `keep_infinity` prints `Infinity` as written.
The swc and oxc cases the output now matches are retired.

* feat(javascript): honor unused and inline, drop ignored compress options
`unused: false` keeps what nothing reads, `inline: false` leaves each
function where it is declared, and the compress options the one pass
never reads are gone from its type. Also fixes nested `global_defs`
keys, shorthand and negative values, `top_retain` implying `toplevel`,
and `drop_console` outside statement lists.
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Tgxgyb4N35ndP6cC4KcrXC
* fix(javascript): keep -0 from global_defs and drop console calls through call/apply
The swc exec total grows from 1.0520 to 1.0530 times terser's because
its configs' `top_retain`, `unused: false` and `keep_infinity` are now
honored, so its budget follows.

* test(javascript): budgets and lists after rebasing onto main
`unused: false` keeps the self-reading binding #23040 drops in
`collapse_vars_self_reference`, as terser's own expected output does.
The swc exec total is 1.05296 times terser's on the new base.
