The JavaScript minifier read terser's snake_case option names, so lib/ needed a file-wide eslint-disable camelcase. Its options are now spelled and read in camelCase:
Every option is read in camelCase internally (keepFnames, asciiOnly, dropConsole, nthIdentifier, …).
terser's names stay accepted as aliases, so a terser configuration minifies unchanged.
TERSER_ALIASES lists terser's names by option group, with a comment explaining why they are kept. They are translated once, where options enter (prepareMinify, and the print path for format).
When a group names both spellings, the camelCase one wins.
Unknown keys are left as written, so error messages still name the key the user wrote, as terser's do.
The public types list both spellings. Each alias is documented as "terser's name for …".
// before: only terser's spellingminify(code,{keep_fnames: true,format: {ascii_only: true}});// after: both, same outputminify(code,{keepFnames: true,format: {asciiOnly: true}});minify(code,{keep_fnames: true,format: {ascii_only: true}});
defaults.js keeps format: { preserve_annotations: true } in terser's spelling, with a comment saying why. Outside futureDefaults, the terser package itself reads minimizeOptions.javascript, and it rejects camelCase names. For the same reason, camelCase names in minimizeOptions.javascript work only with webpack's own minifier.
lib/javascript/syntax-parser.js changes only one JSDoc type: JavascriptReadOptions.format is now the public GivenFormatOptions, so the aliases type-check.
The changeset folds into the pending 040 minifier entry.
What kind of change does this PR introduce?
feat
Did you add tests for your changes?
Yes, in test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js. Each option group is checked: both spellings print the same, either differs from the default, and camelCase wins when both are given. The existing tests and config cases still pass terser's names, so they cover the aliases. The minify corpora, which pass terser's option sets through, gave the same report locally.
Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
No. Every terser name is still accepted.
If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?
The JavaScript minifier's options can be written in camelCase, with terser's snake_case names also accepted.

Claude Code did the rename and the alias layer, wrote the test, and checked it (unit tests, config cases, minify corpora, lint). Reviewed by the author.
JavaScript minification settings now accept camelCase option names across name retention, compression, mangling, formatting, and parsing.
Existing Terser-style snake_case names remain supported as aliases. When both forms are provided for an option, the camelCase value takes precedence.
These naming conventions are supported in both top-level settings and relevant nested configuration groups, making JavaScript minifier options more consistent to configure.
…s aliases
The minifier's options are spelled in camelCase (`keepFnames`, `asciiOnly`,
`dropConsole`, ...) and read that way throughout. terser's snake_case names
stay accepted as aliases, so a terser configuration minifies unchanged; where
a group names both, the camelCase one wins. The default `minimizeOptions`
keep terser's spelling, which terser itself reads outside `futureDefaults`.

Escape hatches count the raw types they stand for too: any, object and Function. Inferred any counts the identifiers whose type TypeScript infers as any though no JSDoc names it, and the new or generic calls whose type arguments it fills with any, such as const map = new Map().
This pull request adds or removes no escape-hatch type or inferred any.
120 file(s) in lib/, hot/ and declarations/ still use an escape hatch, infer `any` or have untyped lines

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.

The JavaScript minifier now uses camelCase option names internally and accepts supported Terser snake_case aliases. Minimizer defaults convert options for Terser unless futureDefaults is enabled. Tests cover alias equivalence, precedence, name retention, and ASCII-only output.
Changes: JavaScript minifier option compatibility
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Option contracts and alias conversion lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, lib/javascript/terser-option-names.js, lib/javascript/syntax-parser.js
Option contracts use camelCase names and document supported Terser aliases. Conversion handles top-level and nested groups, with camelCase values taking precedence when both spellings are present.
Printer options and minimizer setup lib/javascript/syntax-printer.js, lib/javascript/ScopeAnalyzer.js, lib/javascript/side-effects.js, lib/config/defaults.js
Printer paths and scope analysis read camelCase options for formatting, parsing, compression, property handling, output, and name retention. Minimizer setup converts options to Terser spellings unless futureDefaults is enabled.
Compatibility tests and release note test/specCases/minify-corpora.spectest.js, test/unitCases/javascript/printer.unittest.js, test/configCases/optimization/minify-camel-case-options/*, .changeset/232-javascript-minify-camel-case-options.md
Tests compare alias and camelCase output, check precedence and format-option handling, and cover name retention and ASCII-only output under both future-default settings. The Changeset describes the option naming change.

Normalize format aliases before comment filtering.
A direct JavaScript SourceProcessor.process call can omit compress and mangle and pass format: { comments: false, preserve_annotations: true }. The driver passes this raw format to commentFilterOf, which checks only preserveAnnotations and returns false. The parser then drops comments before startPrint converts preserve_annotations, so annotation comments are lost.
Apply the same alias conversion before commentFilterOf.

@coderabbitai On the outside-diff finding "Normalize format aliases before comment filtering" (syntax-printer.js:16528-16531): this does not reproduce, so I'm leaving the code as it is.
commentFilterOf(givenFormat) runs only on the prepareMinify path. prepareMinify has already passed format through fromTerserNames, so givenFormat holds preserveAnnotations by then.
With compress: false, mangle: false, format: { comments: false, preserve_annotations: true }, the output is a();/*#__PURE__*/f();, the same as with preserveAnnotations.
A print with no compress or mangle at all leaves out every comment by design, on main too (format: { comments: "all" } prints a();f(); there). So no annotation is lost to the alias.

@alexander-akait I withdraw the finding. I checked that prepareMinify calls fromTerserNames before passing the options to prepareNodePrint. That conversion maps preserve_annotations to preserveAnnotations before commentFilterOf(givenFormat) runs.
No additional normalization is needed at that call site. No code change is required.
