On hold: do not merge before #42042, #33684, #45825 and #38583. Without them, some minified rules change meaning (Downsides).

Problem

  • After a logical margin, padding, inset or scroll-margin property, a later rule does not print what a fresh rule prints. div{margin-inline-start:2px}.a{margin:1px;margin:0} keeps both declarations, with the same meaning.
  • Bootstrap 5.3.8 gets one rule twice from bun build --minify (229,086 bytes, 228,616 here).
  • Cause: the 4-side shorthand arm (margin_padding.rs:686) leaves category stale, so the next declaration flushes the shorthand.

Fix

  • The arm now sets category, as property_helper does. A stale value then only flushes an empty buffer.
  • Verified: test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts (28 fail on the src/ of main, 1341 pass here). Also ran test/js/bun/css/, test/bundler/css/, test/bundler/esbuild/css.test.ts.
  • Self-reviewed: 30 concerns raised, 29 addressed. Not done: a report to lightningcss.

Background

  • A handler buffers one property family as physical or logical values. category records which, and a change flushes the buffer.
  • One DeclarationHandler per stylesheet holds every handler (css_parser.rs:2372), so their state carries over between rules.
  • Considered a reset in flush(): it misses a shorthand after a logical property in one rule. The border arm is left out on purpose (Notes).

Downsides

  • Wrong output where main is right: the extra flush on main hid four older defects (Notes). div{margin-inline-start:9px}.a{margin:1px;margin-top:0;all:initial} becomes .a{all:initial;margin:0 1px 1px}, so the margin is not reset.
  • Some outputs get longer, by 3 to 22 bytes in the known cases (Notes). Of 762 npm sheets, 29 change and none grows.
  • Cost: one byte store per 4-side shorthand declaration, and 55 bytes of release bun_css code.
Notes

Mechanism

  1. margin-inline-start:2px sets category = Logical. flush() at the end of the rule empties the buffer and does not reset category.
  2. In the next rule, margin:1px reaches the shorthand arm. flush_helper_physical (margin_padding.rs:742) sees a category change and flushes an empty buffer. The arm buffers the four values. Before this change, category stayed Logical.
  3. margin:0 sees a category change again. This time the flush writes margin:1px out, so the two declarations do not merge.

The normal and the !important declarations of a sheet use two DeclarationHandler values, so each has its own category. Bun also minifies a merged same-selector block after the rule that follows it. So .a{margin:1px}.a{margin:0}div{margin-inline-start:2px} keeps both declarations on main (51 bytes, 40 here).

Inputs and outputs (bun build --minify, debug builds of main f33c840 and of this branch)

Input main This branch
div{margin-inline-start:2px}.a{margin:1px;margin:0} unchanged div{margin-inline-start:2px}.a{margin:0}
.a{margin:1px;margin:0} .a{margin:0} .a{margin:0}
.a{margin-inline-start:1px;margin:0;margin-top:5px} unchanged .a{margin-inline-start:1px;margin:5px 0 0}
div{inset-block-start:2px}.a{inset:1px;inset:0} div{top:2px}.a{inset:1px;inset:0} div{top:2px}.a{inset:0}
  • Padding and scroll-margin behave like margin. A longhand after the shorthand also merges now (.a{margin:0;margin-top:5px} behind a logical rule).
  • The bundler's default browser targets compile inset-inline-start to :dir() rules. The minify of those rules resets the handler. So the inline-axis inset case (inset-inline-start before inset:1px;inset:0) changes only without browser targets (--target=bun).
  • The fallback pair margin:22px;margin:max(4%,22px) also changes only without browser targets. There it becomes margin:max(4%,22px) behind a logical rule, as it already does in a fresh rule.
  • The third row changes inside a single rule: a logical property, then the shorthand, then a longhand. The logical value is still flushed first.

Outputs that do not get shorter (same builds, sizes are for the whole output)

Input main This branch
div{inset-block-start:2px}.a{inset:1px;left:5px} .a{inset:1px;left:5px} (34 bytes) .a{inset:1px 1px 1px 5px} (37)
div{margin-inline-start:2px}.a{margin:1.25rem;margin-left:0} unchanged (60) .a{margin:1.25rem 1.25rem 1.25rem 0} (64)
div{margin-inline-start:2px}.a{margin:1px;margin-top:2px}.b{color:red}.a{margin:2px;margin-top:var(--x)} first .a rule deleted (75) first .a rule kept as .a{margin:2px 1px 1px} (97)

flush() prints the 4-side shorthand when all four sides are set, with no length comparison. Each branch output above is what main prints for the same rule with no rule before it.

Outputs that change meaning: the reason for the hold

In each row, main prints what the source means and this branch does not. Main prints the branch output when the div or .x rule (or the leading logical declaration) is removed. So each defect is older than this change. The extra flush on main hides it after a logical property, and this change removes that flush.

Input main This branch What changes Defect
div{margin-inline-start:9px}.a{margin:1px;margin-top:0;all:initial} .a{margin:1px;all:initial;margin-top:0} .a{all:initial;margin:0 1px 1px} all:initial no longer resets the margin: it is 0 1px 1px, not 0 all is printed before the buffered values (#42042)
.a{margin-inline-start:1px;margin:0;margin-top:5px;-webkit-margin-start:9px} .a{margin-inline-start:1px;margin:0;-webkit-margin-start:9px;margin-top:5px} .a{margin-inline-start:1px;-webkit-margin-start:9px;margin:5px 0 0} in a browser that has the alias, the inline-start margin is 0, not 9px a legacy alias is printed before the buffered values (#45825)
div{margin-inline-start:2px}.a{--x:1;margin:1px;margin:0}.b{color:red}.a{--y:2;margin:2px} unchanged first .a rule deleted with --x:1 .a loses --x the duplicate-rule check (rules/style.rs:465) ignores custom property names (#33684, issue #44704)
.x{inset-block-start:2px}.y{inset:0;top:5px} .y{inset:0;top:5px} .y{inset:5px 0 0} a browser without inset ignores the declaration, so top:5px is lost inset is printed for targets without it (#38583)
  • Checked on main 449877f with this branch merged in, with Bun.build({ minify: true }) on debug builds. Three runs of each build print the same bytes.
  • The first row is correct on main only because margin-top:0 is the initial value. With margin-top:5px, main prints .a{margin:1px;all:initial;margin-top:5px}, which is also wrong.
  • The fourth row follows from the CSS rule that a browser ignores a declaration it does not know. No browser ran. The default targets include Chrome 80 to 86 and Safari 14.0, which do not have inset.
  • No test pins these outputs.

Each row with its fix under this branch (local merges on main 449877f)

Before this PR leaves draft: merge main, write PropertyCategory::Physical on the new line if #38583 landed, and run the four rows again.

Reach

  • Corpus: the 3,594 .css files that an install of 53 CSS packages from npm puts in node_modules. 772 of them contain a logical margin, padding, inset or border property. Other files cannot change. 762 of the 772 build.
  • Bun.build({ minify: true }): 29 files change. 22 get smaller, 7 keep their size with declarations in another order, none grows. The total is 2,468 bytes less. The packages are Bootstrap, Carbon, antd, ant-design-vue, Vuetify, Mantine, daisyUI and DocSearch.
  • With target: "bun" (no browser targets): 28 files change, 18 get smaller, 10 keep their size, none grows. The total is 588 bytes less.
  • Bootstrap: the source has a .form-control::-webkit-file-upload-button rule and a .form-control::file-selector-button rule with the same declarations. For the second one Bun also prints a -webkit- copy. On main the stale category gives the second rule another declaration order, so that copy does not merge with the first rule.

The border arm

Property::Border (border.rs:1413) has the same missing assignment. An earlier version of this change set category there too. That arm never flushes, so the assignment does more there than remove a false flush. Measured with the assignment:

  • .a{border:1px solid blue;border-inline-start-color:red}.a{border:2px solid green} goes from .a{border:2px solid green} (26 bytes) to .a{border:1px solid #00f;border:2px solid green} (48).
  • .btn{border:1px solid #ccc;border-inline-start:4px solid blue}.btn{border:0} goes from 14 to 36 bytes.
  • In the corpus above it changes 2 files (both Carbon) and saves 0 bytes.

#38623 reworks that arm and contains the assignment. Until then, a rule after a logical border property still depends on earlier rules, and the second test pass has no logical border declaration.

Tests

  • The describe block "shorthand after a logical property in an earlier rule" has 27 cases. With the src/ of main, 23 fail. The other 4 are outputs that must not change.
  • minify_test, prefix_test and cssTest in test/js/bun/css/util.ts now run each source a second time behind a dropped @media not all rule that leaves the handlers in a non-default state. The output must be the same. Sources with @charset, @import or @namespace are exempt, because those at-rules must come first.
  • The rule uses block-axis declarations. An inline-axis declaration becomes :dir() rules for targets that compile logical properties, and the second pass would then start from the same state as the first.
  • With the src/ of main, the second pass fails 5 existing cases (4 in length, 1 in margin). That gives the 28 failures. With the change: 1341 pass, 0 fail, 69 skip, 3 todo.
  • Cost of the second pass on a local debug build with ASAN: css.test.ts takes about 7 s, up from about 5.3 s.
  • test/js/bun/css/: 2543 pass, 5 timeouts on the local debug build, no assertion failure. Four are in css-fuzz.test.ts and one is in nested-selector-expansion.test.ts. Both files time out in the same way with the src/ of main.
  • test/bundler/css/: 184 pass. test/bundler/esbuild/css.test.ts: 57 pass, 1 todo. test/regression/issue/25794.test.ts: pass.

Upstream

  • lightningcss 1.20.0 prints div{margin-inline-start:2px}.a{margin:0} for the first input, and the same for padding, scroll-margin and inset. 1.21.0 and 1.33.0 keep both declarations for margin, padding and scroll-margin. The arm in lightningcss has no category assignment either. A search of the Bun and lightningcss trackers found no report.
  • No lightningcss version merges a longhand after the shorthand behind a logical rule. That part goes beyond the reference.
  • The merged-rule input .a{margin:1px}.a{margin:0}div{margin-inline-start:2px} is specific to Bun. All three lightningcss versions print .a{margin:0}.
  • InsetSpec declares its shorthand as Physical (margin_padding.rs:1243). lightningcss declares it as logical.

Size

cargo build --release -p bun_css --lib on x86_64 Linux, then the sum of the .text sections of libbun_css.rlib: 1,473,076 bytes on main, 1,473,131 bytes here. SizeHandlerImpl::handle_property grows from 3,155 to 3,210 bytes. This is the cargo release profile without the link-time optimization of a full release build.

Update for current main

Main replaced the generic SizeHandler<S> body with SizeHandlerImpl, which reads a SizeSpec value. The first version of this change read S::SHORTHAND_CATEGORY, which no longer exists. The branch now includes main, and the line reads spec.shorthand_category. The flush_helper_physical calls in the same arm read the same field.

Related open pull requests

…d values

The margin/padding/inset/scroll-margin handler and the border handler
track whether the values they are buffering are physical or logical so
that a change of category flushes the buffered values as a fallback.
Their 4-side shorthand arms (`margin: ...`, `border: ...`) replaced the
buffered values without updating that category, and the handlers are
reused for every declaration block in a stylesheet, so a logical
property in any earlier block left the category at Logical and made a
later block's shorthand flush instead of being overwritten or folded:

    div{margin-inline-start:2px}.a{margin:1px;margin:0}
    -> div{margin-inline-start:2px}.a{margin:1px;margin:0}

Set the category in both shorthand arms, as every other arm does, so a
block minifies the same regardless of what preceded it.

Status: on hold, converted to draft. Do not merge before #42042, #33684, #45825 and #38583. Without them, this change makes bun build --minify print some rules with another meaning, where main prints them correctly.

Reproduced on main 449877f with this branch merged in (Bun.build({ minify: true }), debug builds, 3 runs each with the same bytes):

  • div{margin-inline-start:9px}.a{margin:1px;margin-top:0;all:initial} becomes .a{all:initial;margin:0 1px 1px}, so the margin is not reset. Main prints .a{margin:1px;all:initial;margin-top:0}.
  • .a{margin-inline-start:1px;margin:0;margin-top:5px;-webkit-margin-start:9px} becomes .a{margin-inline-start:1px;-webkit-margin-start:9px;margin:5px 0 0}, so the alias no longer wins.
  • div{margin-inline-start:2px}.a{--x:1;margin:1px;margin:0}.b{color:red}.a{--y:2;margin:2px} loses the first .a rule and --x:1.
  • .x{inset-block-start:2px}.y{inset:0;top:5px} becomes .y{inset:5px 0 0} with the default targets, which include browsers without inset.

Main already prints each of these for the same rule with nothing before it. The PR body has the table, and the result of each row with its fix merged under this branch.

The missed merge that this PR fixes is still on main: div{margin-inline-start:9px}.a{margin:1px;margin:0} keeps both margin declarations, and this branch prints .a{margin:0}.

LGTM — two one-line assignments bringing the shorthand arms in line with every other buffering arm.

What was reviewed:

  • Confirmed both changed arms buffer only physical values and clear the logical slots, so category = Physical (S::SHORTHAND_CATEGORY, which is Physical for all four specs) matches what's actually buffered — same as property_helper/set_border_helper! do everywhere else.
  • Traced the intra-block behavior change (.a{margin-inline-start:1px;margin:0;margin-top:5px} and the border equivalent): the pre-shorthand logical value is still flushed first via flush_helper_physical/the category check, so source order is preserved; only the post-shorthand longhand now folds in, which is cascade-equivalent.
  • Checked that the Property::Border arm already resets all logical border slots without flushing (pre-existing, correct per spec), so recording Physical afterward doesn't drop anything that wasn't already dropped.
  • 24 new minify_test cases cover the cross-block leak for all four size handlers plus border, the !important handler instance, unparsed var(), merged/dropped rules, and pin four intra-block outputs that must not change.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two single-line additions: self.category = Physical; in the Property::Border match arm (border.rs) and self.category = S::SHORTHAND_CATEGORY; in the S::SHORTHAND arm (margin_padding.rs), plus a 24-case test block in css.test.ts. These are the only two arms in either handler that buffer values without recording the category of what they buffered; every other arm does so via property_helper/set_border_helper!/logical_property_helper. The stale category leaked across declaration blocks because the handlers are reused stylesheet-wide, causing spurious flushes that defeated shorthand collapsing in later rules.

Security risks

None. This is a CSS minifier optimization; the worst possible outcome is larger-but-still-correct CSS output. No untrusted-size arithmetic, no memory ownership, no user-facing API surface.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-medium. The source change is mechanical — a single field write matching the pattern already used on every sibling arm — and the failure mode (an unnecessary flush) is by design harmless for correctness. The one place this changes output within a single block (logical → shorthand → physical longhand) was traced and produces cascade-equivalent CSS; the tests pin both the changed cases and four cases that must stay unchanged.

Other factors

The PR description is unusually thorough: it identifies the mechanism precisely, cross-references upstream lightningcss (same bug), verifies against release 1.4.0 and an unfixed debug build (20/24 new tests fail without the fix), and runs the full css and bundler-css suites. Test coverage spans margin/padding/inset/scroll-margin, both handler instances (!important), unparsed var() triggers, unrelated rules in between, dropped @media not all rules, and merged same-selector re-minification. No CODEOWNERS on src/css/. No prior reviewer comments to address.

LGTM — two one-line assignments bringing the shorthand arms in line with every other buffering arm, with thorough test coverage.

What was reviewed

  • Traced SizeHandler::handle_property and BorderHandler::handle_property: every other arm that buffers a value sets self.category; the shorthand arms were the only ones that didn't, and now do.
  • Checked the intra-block behavior change (margin-inline-start;margin;margin-top and the border equivalent): the folded outputs are cascade-equivalent to the inputs, and the four pinned no-change cases confirm flush ordering between categories is preserved.
  • Tests reuse the existing minify_test helper and cover the cross-block leak for all four size handlers plus border, !important, unparsed var(), merged same-selector rules, and a dropped @media rule.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two one-line changes to the CSS minifier's property handlers plus 24 new minify_test cases. In src/css/properties/margin_padding.rs the S::SHORTHAND arm of SizeHandler::handle_property now sets self.category = S::SHORTHAND_CATEGORY after buffering the shorthand's four values; in src/css/properties/border.rs the Property::Border arm now sets self.category = Physical. Both mirror what property_helper/set_border_helper! already do on every other arm that buffers a value.

The bug was that a stale category from a logical property in an earlier rule (handlers are reused per stylesheet) caused a spurious flush between two consecutive physical shorthands in a later rule, so margin:1px;margin:0 stopped collapsing. The fix restores the invariant that category always matches the category of the currently buffered values.

Security risks

None. This is a minification-quality fix in the CSS printer. The pre-fix output was already valid CSS with the same cascade result, just larger; the change only affects how aggressively adjacent declarations are folded. No untrusted-input parsing, no memory ownership, no cross-thread state.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-moderate. The production change is two lines, mechanically identical to what neighboring arms already do, and the failure mode of getting this wrong would be an extra flush (larger but still correct output) rather than incorrect CSS. I traced the two intra-block cases whose output does change: .a{margin-inline-start:1px;margin:0;margin-top:5px} now emits margin:5px 0 0 instead of margin:0;margin-top:5px (identical cascade), and .a{border-inline-start-color:red;border:1px solid red;border-top-color:red} now drops the redundant border-top-color:red (the Border arm was already resetting border_inline_start before this change, so the logical value was already being discarded — only the redundant physical longhand after it is now folded).

Other factors

  • 24 new minify_test cases in the existing test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts, covering the cross-block leak for margin/padding/inset/scroll-margin, the border variant, !important (separate handler instance), unparsed var() and margin-inline triggers, merged same-selector re-minification, an @media not all rule that's dropped, plus four pinned outputs that must stay unchanged (verifying category-switch flushes still preserve source order in both directions). PR states 20/24 fail on the unfixed build.
  • The change intentionally diverges from upstream lightningcss 1.30.2, which has the same bug; the PR description documents this and the divergence is a strict improvement in output size with identical semantics.
  • No CODEOWNERS for src/css/. No prior human review comments to address.

The handlers are reused for every declaration block, so minify_test,
prefix_test and cssTest now additionally minify each source behind a
dropped `@media not all` rule that leaves the logical/physical and
prefix tracking handlers (normal and !important) in a non-default
state, and require the output to be unchanged. Without the previous
commit this flags 8 existing cases (border, margin and length
shorthand folds); with it the file passes.

LGTM — the two-line source fix records category on the shorthand arms exactly like every sibling arm already does, and the output remains semantically-equivalent CSS in all cases (only smaller).

What was reviewed:

  • Traced both handlers' category invariant: every other buffering arm (property_helper, set_border_helper!, logical_property_helper) sets it; these two were the only ones that didn't.
  • Checked the intra-block behavior change (.a{margin-inline-start:1px;margin:0;margin-top:5px} and the border equivalent) preserves cascade order — the flush before the shorthand still runs, so source order is kept.
  • Reviewed the util.ts precedingRule guard: additive only, skips @charset/@import/@namespace correctly, and @media not all is dropped by MediaRule::minify's never_matches() check so the expected output is unchanged.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two source lines: self.category = Physical; after Property::Border in border.rs, and self.category = S::SHORTHAND_CATEGORY; after the S::SHORTHAND arm in margin_padding.rs. Both arms fully replace the buffered values with physical ones but previously left category stale, which caused later declarations (in the same or a later block) to trigger an unnecessary flush and lose merging. The fix makes these arms consistent with every other arm in both handlers, all of which set category after buffering.

Tests: 24 direct cases in css.test.ts covering the cross-block leak for all four size handlers plus border, the !important handler instance, dropped/merged rules, and the four intra-block outputs that must not change. util.ts gains a systematic guard that reruns every existing minify_test/prefix_test/cssTest with a preceding @media not all{...} rule that dirties per-block handler state and is then dropped from the output — turning all 1166 existing tests into regression coverage for this bug class.

Security risks

None. This is CSS minification output-size behavior; the emitted CSS was already correct before the fix, just larger. No untrusted-input parsing paths are touched.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-medium. The source change is mechanical (bring two arms in line with their siblings) and the failure mode is bounded to "correct but larger CSS". The one thing worth a second look was the util.ts test-infrastructure change since it affects every CSS test, but it is purely additive — it adds a second assertion per test without weakening any existing one, is well-commented, and passed on all CI lanes. The @media not all wrapper being dropped is guaranteed by MediaRule::minify's never_matches() path (src/css/rules/mod.rs:401).

Other factors

  • No CODEOWNERS for the touched paths.
  • The PR description traces the mechanism precisely, verifies against upstream lightningcss 1.30.2 (same bug there), and confirms 20/24 new cases fail on the unfixed build.
  • The intra-block divergence from upstream (folding a longhand after logical→shorthand) produces the same cascade result as the input; this is pinned in the tests so it is intentional and reviewable.
  • CI is green on the CSS lanes; the two unrelated failures are known flakes on Windows 2019.

Main replaced the generic `SizeHandler<S>` body with `SizeHandlerImpl`,
which reads its configuration from a `SizeSpec` value. The constant
`S::SHORTHAND_CATEGORY` no longer exists. The 4-side shorthand arm now
reads `spec.shorthand_category`. The `flush_helper_physical` calls in
that arm use the same field.
The `border` arm of `BorderHandler` never flushes. With the `category`
assignment there, `border; <logical border property>; border` in a
merged rule prints two `border` declarations where main prints one:
`.a{border:1px solid blue;border-inline-start-color:red}.a{border:2px solid green}`
goes from 26 to 48 bytes.

Remove the assignment, its four test cases, and the logical border
declaration of the second test pass.
…gets

For targets that compile logical properties, an inline-axis declaration
becomes `:dir()` rules. The minify of those rules puts the handler back
in its physical state, so the second pass started from the same state
as the first. The rule now uses block-axis declarations.

Add cases with browser targets, two outputs that are longer after the
merge, and two cases for the duplicate-rule check.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the harness re-run in test/js/bun/css/util.ts: the second expect only executes after the first assertion has passed, so it cannot mask or shadow a failure, and both calls go through the in-process cssInternals helpers rather than a subprocess, so the doubled run adds little time. The border arm being left out of the fix is stated in the PR description, so the sibling-handler exclusion is deliberate rather than missed.

Extended reasoning...

The change is a one-line self.category = spec.shorthand_category assignment in the 4-side shorthand arm of SizeHandlerImpl in src/css/properties/margin_padding.rs, matching what property_helper already does, plus a new describe block of ~30 minifier cases and a util.ts harness that re-runs every css test behind a dropped @ media rule. It touches no security-sensitive surface. The inline findings show the fix widens known fresh-rule defects (inset for old targets, duplicate-rule check ignoring custom properties) into rules following a logical property, and one test pins a wrong output, so a human should weigh those trade-offs before merging.

### What does this PR do?

Consolidates the open pull requests on the CSS parser (`src/css`:
parsing, minifying, lowering, printing, CSS modules) into one.

179 open pull requests were in scope. Each was judged by one rule: **the
output must mean to a browser what the input meant.** Every claim was
run through a build of `main`, a build with the change, lightningcss
1.33 and Chromium 156 (CSSOM, computed values, painted pixels for colors
and gradients), and counted against 10,116 real stylesheets: the
published CSS of about 190 popular npm packages, plus stylesheets from
open source repositories. 107 land here, whole or in part, most of them
cut down. The source diff is net negative.

Of the 10,116, 9,509 are stylesheets that someone ships. The rest are
test fixtures of other tools (521), Tailwind v4 source that needs its
plugin (59) and SCSS, PostCSS or template source (27).

| 9,509 shipped stylesheets | `main` | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| fail to build | 71 | 35 |
| ... of those, valid CSS that Bun rejects | | 0 |
| minified output reads differently in Chromium than the input | 552 | 2
|
| CSS modules with a name that is referenced but not defined, or
exported but not defined | 166 | 0 |

| all 10,116 | `main` | this branch |
|---|---|---|
| fail to build | 192 | 141 |
| minified output reads differently in Chromium than the input | 593 |
15 |
| build on `main`, fail here | | 0 |
| right on `main`, wrong here (minified, and at the default targets) | |
0 |
| size of the minified output, no targets | 162.32 MB | 162.47 MB
(+0.093%) |
| size of the output at the default targets | 224.1 MB | 210.2 MB
(-6.2%) |

A syntax error is a build error, with one exception: the IE star hack
`*zoom: 1` is skipped, because tachyons and handsontable ship it. The 35
shipped stylesheets that fail are invalid CSS: 28 have a selector that
Chromium drops (semantic-ui-css, swiper, @ionic/core, Adobe Spectrum,
xp.css), 2 an `@import` after other rules, and one each `@supports not X
and Y`, a nested `@keyframes`, a stray comma, a selector list in
`::slotted()`, `@media screen\0` (govuk-frontend). The 2 that read
differently fold a `color-mix()` inside a gradient (see the known gaps).

The growth of the minified output is rules and declarations that `main`
deleted by mistake: 87 KB of rules, 45 KB of prefixed declarations that
only browser targets can rule out.

#### Popular CSS that `main` breaks today

- normalize.css, modern-normalize, sanitize.css: `font-family:
monospace, monospace` is collapsed to `monospace`, which changes the
font size from 16px to 13px (#46662).
- CKEditor 5, Tabler, Carbon, VitePress, Ionic, PatternFly, Excalidraw:
a rule of custom properties is deleted as a "duplicate" of a later rule
with the same selector and other custom properties. 37 stylesheets lose
1,681 custom properties (#33684).
- Material Components, daisyUI, DocSearch, plyr: a `var()` size loses to
its own fallback (#42101).
- nextra, daisyUI, CKEditor: declarations written after a nested rule
are moved above it (#45462).
- antd 4, purecss, govuk-frontend: browser hacks in selector lists start
to apply everywhere (#42100).
- foundation-sites, flatpickr, 98.css, blueprintjs, scalar,
react-datepicker: the build fails on valid CSS (#46756, #38552, #38534).
tachyons, handsontable: it fails on the IE star hack (#46751).
- nodejs.org, Mantine: a CSS module exports classes that no rule
defines, because the `@apply` or `@mixin` in them is moved out of the
rule (#46759).
- hint.css and 42 more: `z-index: 1000001` and `1000000` become the same
number (#46715).
- Adobe Spectrum: `--version: 5.0.1` prints as `5.1`.
- A quarter of all stylesheets: minified output has a stray space in
`align-items: center` (#41993).

#### Behavior changes to look at first

1. **`light-dark()` is kept as written at the default browser targets**
(#42009). The lowered form `var(--buncss-light, a) var(--buncss-dark,
b)` is invalid unless a compiled `color-scheme` covers the element: 184
of the 215 real stylesheets that get it never define the variable, so
every browser drops the declaration. The docs section on the polyfill is
removed.
2. **`border` is not built from longhands** (#42072):
`border-width:0;border-style:solid;border-color:red` stays three
declarations, because `border` also resets `border-image`. 305 real
stylesheets grow by 30 KB in total; `bootstrap.min.css` by 113 bytes, 5
gzipped. No real stylesheet was found where the old merge shows, so this
is the one to drop if size matters more. 14 existing expectations
change.
3. **A CSS module no longer exports names that only occur inside
`:global(...)`** (#45487). 73 real modules lose 202 export keys, all of
them names that no rule has. `import { g }` or `composes: g` of such a
name becomes a build error.
4. **Container names and `@counter-style` names stay global in a CSS
module** (#45247 by @mikamikasuki). `main` hashes the `@container` name
but not `container-name`, so a named query never matches.
postcss-modules (Vite, css-loader, Next.js) keeps them global;
lightningcss and esbuild hash both. Global keeps a container that is
queried from another file or from JS working.
5. **Syntax errors are build errors, also two that `main` lets
through**: a media query that stops short (`@media screen and {`,
`@media not {`, `@import "a.css" screen and;`) and `@media (width <) foo
{`. No stylesheet of the 10,116 has either. A condition that is valid by
the grammar though no browser knows it, `( ... )` or `fn( ... )`, is
kept as written (#46756): `(min-width:0\0)`, `(not(hover))`.
6. **Declarations after a nested rule stay where they were written**, as
a nested declarations rule (#45462). Changes the output of 199 real
stylesheets; in a fuzz of 2,850 nested programs compared by computed
style, `main` was wrong in 1,056 and the pull request's code, before it
was trimmed here, in none.
7. **`Bun.color`**: `color()` inputs are converted instead of returned
as a string (`Bun.color("color(srgb 1 0 0)", "hex")` was `"color(srgb 1
0 0)"`); `currentColor`, system colors and `light-dark()` give `null` in
the converting formats instead of the keyword as a string; a relative
color or `color-mix()` outside sRGB is clipped, not gamut-mapped
(`hsl(from oklch(100% .399 336.3) h s l)` is `#ff5bff`, was `#fff`).
8. The `:-moz-any()` and `:-webkit-any()` copies of rules with `:is()`
are gone at the default targets (#45945, #42029). The `:-webkit-any()`
copy outranked the original rule: `.title{color:blue}
:is(h1,h2,h3){color:red}` painted red. 5.8% of all default-target output
was the `:-moz-any()` copies.
9. `Property` grows from 216 to 224 bytes: `Url` stores its text as a
slice so that two `url()` values can be compared (#46895). The pull
request packed a pointer and a `u32` behind `unsafe` to avoid that.

#### Not in this PR, needs a decision

- **Raise the default browser targets (#40369) and add a `cssTarget`
option (#40368).** Today: Chrome 80, Edge 80, Firefox 78, Safari 14,
Opera 67, and no public way to change them. At Vite 8's floor the output
of the 9,924 stylesheets is 15.3% smaller (3.9% gzipped). About a dozen
fixes here only matter at today's floor, and code for older targets is
unreachable without the option.
- Vendor prefixes for `user-select`, `appearance`, `hyphens` and five
more (#45814): 1,116 real stylesheets lack a prefix they need at the
default targets. And for `backdrop-filter` (#44648): 173.
- Clip instead of gamut-map in the sRGB fallback of a plain wide-gamut
color: deletes about 90 lines, changes every pinned fallback hex. If the
mapping stays, #44647 by @oddharsh makes it closer to what browsers
paint (colors off by 2/255 or more: 168 to 110 of 3,170 real ones).

#### Changes

**Rules: duplicates, merging, nesting, fallbacks**

- The `:-moz-any()` copy of every rule with `:is()` or `:not(a, b)` is
gone: Firefox 78 has `:is()` (#45945). 1,164 real stylesheets
- Keep declarations written after a nested rule in place with a nested
declarations rule (#45462). 379 real stylesheets
- With nesting compiled away, an unknown at-rule inside a style rule was
moved out of it: `.wrapper{@apply flex}` printed a bare `@apply flex;`
and the rule was gone, so a CSS module exported a class that no rule
defines. It now stays in a block under the compiled selector. 72 real
modules with Tailwind's `@apply`, 25 with Mantine's `@mixin` (#46759).
316 real stylesheets
- Keep !important in the rules generated for logical properties and
color-scheme (#38597). 311 real stylesheets
- With browser targets, remove an earlier duplicate rule only when its
declaration block is equal (#46861). 171 real stylesheets
- Compare custom property names in `PropertyId` equality and importance
in duplicate-rule detection (#33684). 40 real stylesheets
- Keep same-condition @supports rules and empty named @layer blocks
(#46733). 31 real stylesheets
- Keep target-added vendor prefix passes on cloned and re-minified
rules, and never print a bare `:full-screen` (#43339). 12 real
stylesheets
- Keep the selectors on rules added for color fallbacks and logical
properties (#43240). 3 real stylesheets
- A later declaration of a property drops the `@supports` color copies
of the earlier one, which printed after the rule and won (#45560). 2
real stylesheets
- Do not merge style rules in a stylesheet that holds `revert-rule`
(#46953). 1 real stylesheets
- `@import ... supports(-webkit-mask: none)` kept its prefix (#38589)

**Properties and shorthands**

- Print align-items:center without a stray space when no safe/unsafe
keyword is given (#41993). 3,317 real stylesheets
- Emit the physical longhands instead of the inset shorthand for targets
without it (#38583). 1,452 real stylesheets
- Keep the stops of an upward gradient as written, and drop a `50%` hint
only at the midpoint (#46790). 104 real stylesheets
- Emit unparsed border-block-* declarations when compiling logical
borders (#38582). 89 real stylesheets
- Keep repeated font families and dedupe only the inserted system-ui
fallbacks (#46662). 88 real stylesheets
- A `width` / `height` / `min-*` / `max-*` with `var()` or `env()` was
printed before the plain fallback written above it, so the fallback won
(#42101). 26 real stylesheets
- Keep box-orient and box-direction when flex-direction or flex-flow
follows (#45672). 16 real stylesheets
- Write held prefixed background declarations at every flush (#46882). 6
real stylesheets
- Derive equality for Size2D and BorderRadius, and keep every prefix in
the border-radius handler (#45665). 2 real stylesheets
- Print `none` instead of an empty border-image, mask-border or
mask-box-image value (#45143). 2 real stylesheets
- Keep font/transition sub-properties on the side of the shorthand they
were written on (#41990). 2 real stylesheets
- CSS-wide keywords are not names: `font:12px Arial;font-family:inherit`
printed `font:12px inherit`, `color-scheme:inherit` and
`color-scheme:auto` printed `normal`, `transition-property:unset` was
folded into `transition` (#42022). 2 real stylesheets
- Only fold font longhands into `font` when the rule declared a `font`
(#45459)
- Keep a font family name quoted when its identifiers do not read back
as the same name (#46606)
- Stop rewriting valid positions into ones browsers reject (#45197)
- `border` is no longer built from longhands unless the rule also sets
what `border` resets (`border-image`), and an author's `border-image`
reset is no longer dropped. `transition` is likewise only written where
the rule wrote one, because it resets `transition-behavior` (#42072)
- `border; border-image: <gradient>; border-image-slice: 1` lost the
gradient in every default build (#42018)
- A prefixed `linear-gradient` keeps its direction, written or
generated: the prefixed syntax names the starting side and measures
angles differently (#46697)

**At-rules**

- Print @font-face format() keywords as strings (#37979). 439 real
stylesheets
- Print @supports `not` conditions without a leading space (#38559). 88
real stylesheets
- Reset after the number token of a unicode-range (#45835). 33 real
stylesheets
- Keep `<general-enclosed>` media and container conditions as written
(#46756). 24 real stylesheets
- A strict range such as `(width < 768px)` lowered for old targets still
matched at exactly 768px. The step is now `.02px`. The `not all and`
form for other units is not taken (#46806). 18 real stylesheets
- Keep scanning an @supports condition after a nested block (#38552). 9
real stylesheets
- Every `@counter-style name` printed as `@counter-stylename`, which
browsers drop (also #46692). In a CSS module the name now stays global,
like the `list-style` that refers to it (#33679). 9 real stylesheets
- Keep a keyframe whose block has an invalid item (#46288). 2 real
stylesheets
- Read an @Property initial-value on the stylesheet's parser, keep an
unmatched value as written (#45806). 2 real stylesheets
- `@media {}` is `all`. A media query that stops after `and`, `or` or
`not` (`@media screen and {`) is a build error; `main` printed `not all`
or dropped the condition, silently. The `@layer` and type selector parts
are not taken (#46869). 2 real stylesheets
- Accept a name-only `@container` and a `style()` feature with no value
(#46689). 1 real stylesheets
- Parse `<timeline-range-name> <percentage>` keyframe selectors (#45652)
- Allow `or` inside parentheses after a media type (#45088)
- Print the `=` comparison in media and container queries as `=`
(#45071)
- Parse the @font-palette-values font-family descriptor as a list of
family names (#45484)

**Selectors**

- Never wrap a selector list in :is() (#46787). 414 real stylesheets
- Stop emitting :-webkit-any() copies of :is() that outrank the original
rule (#42029). 373 real stylesheets
- With browser targets, a selector list with a vendor-prefixed member
was split, which revives hacks that rely on other engines dropping the
whole list: `.s *::-ms-backdrop,.s{flex:auto}` applied everywhere.
Rewritten; the list is printed as written (#42100). 42 real stylesheets
- Print the vendor prefix on downleveled :any-link, :read-only,
:read-write, :placeholder-shown and :autofill (#42131). 12 real
stylesheets
- Fix nesting lowering of a `&` that does not lead its selector
(#43047). 8 real stylesheets
- `@scope`: `&` and implicit selectors compile to `:where(:scope)`,
relative selectors and bare declarations parse (#43165). 7 real
stylesheets
- Only reject bare :global / :local pseudo-classes in CSS modules
(#38534). 5 real stylesheets
- Stop truncating `@scope to (...)` and stop replacing `&` in the
scope-end selector (#43146). 2 real stylesheets
- `[xl|href$=".pdf"]` lost its namespace prefix (#45159). 2 real
stylesheets
- Match An+B keywords exactly and take only `+` as the leading sign
(#42953). 1 real stylesheets
- Parse ::details-content and ::picker() like ::part() (#45504). 1 real
stylesheets
- Parse :window-inactive as an ordinary pseudo-class, and accept it
after ::selection (#45815)
- Print :nth-col(1) and :nth-last-col(1) in functional form (#41575)
- `li::before::marker` failed the build (#45810)
- `&` inside `:nth-child(... of S)` is resolved when nesting is compiled
away. The second selector serializer (326 lines) is deleted (#43024)

**Colors and `Bun.color`**

- Keep light-dark() as written under the default browser targets
(#42009). 227 real stylesheets
- Number and percentage channels parse in `lab()`, `lch()`, `oklab()`,
`oklch()`, `hsl()` and `hwb()`; the hue of `lch` / `oklch` is no longer
scaled by alpha (#45084). 130 real stylesheets
- `Bun.color` returns `null` for `currentColor`, system colors and
`light-dark()` in the converting formats, instead of the CSS keyword as
a string (#33047). 130 real stylesheets
- Relative colors: channel keywords are on the scale of their function
(`rgb(from #369 calc(r + 10) g b)`), the origin's alpha is kept, a
relative color kept as written gets no `@supports` copies, and a result
outside sRGB is not folded (#45362). 31 real stylesheets
- Keep rotate: 0deg out of none, and keep the origin alpha in relative
colors (#38486). 13 real stylesheets
- Compute the D50 reference white in f32 so greys convert to lab(l 0 0)
like lightningcss (#38535). 7 real stylesheets
- Return a missing hue for a grey from conversions into lch, oklch, hsl
and hwb (#45201). 5 real stylesheets
- Fix color(a98-rgb), srgb-linear relative colors and color-mix(in
xyz-d50) (#38487). 4 real stylesheets
- Match named colors without regard to ASCII case (#45092). 3 real
stylesheets
- Fold min(), max() and clamp() over plain numbers (#39515)
- `calc(l - .08)` in a percentage channel of a relative color became NaN
and printed `#000` (also #45970) (#45971)
- Bun.color: convert color() inputs instead of returning them as a CSS
string (#38488)
- A `color-mix(in srgb, ...)` result outside sRGB prints `color(srgb
...)` instead of a gamut-mapped hex (#39269)

**`calc()` and numbers**

- Rounding to 6 significant digits ate into the integer part:
`z-index:2147483647` became `2147480000`, `max-width:9999999px` became
`10000000px`, `--x:1234567.5` became `1234570`. It now only cuts a
fraction short: a value kept as tokens prints its source text, a typed
value prints every integer digit and at least one digit of the fraction
(#46715). 43 real stylesheets
- A number without a unit is no longer repaired into `px`
(`height:1.5715` is dropped by a standards-mode browser, so it prints as
written), `calc(-1 * 0)` is not a length, and on a property of the range
[0,∞] (sizes, border radii, padding, border and outline widths, gap,
`flex-basis`, `font-size`) a `calc()` that folds below zero prints `0`
instead of an invalid negative literal, and a negative literal no longer
replaces the valid declaration before it (`width:10px;width:-5px`
printed `width:-5px`) (#42104). 24 real stylesheets
- Print numbers from the f32's shortest digits, not its f64 expansion
(#38565). 17 real stylesheets
- Print negative numbers below 1 with a single minus sign (#38516)
- Keep math functions over two different length units as written
(#38489)
- Fold rem() with a truncated quotient, so it keeps the sign of the
dividend (#32286)
- A one-argument `min()` / `max()` around a sum printed without any
function (`width:100% - 20px`) (#46145)
- `round()` breaks ties upward and handles a negative step as browsers
do (#45249)

**CSS modules**

- A CSS module exports its `@keyframes` names (`styles.spin`). Hashing
is unchanged (#46720). 145 real stylesheets
- A name inside `:global(...)` prints plain but was exported as
`name_<hash>`, a class no rule has (also #38573) (#45487). 90 real
stylesheets
- Keep container names global in CSS modules (#45247). 6 real
stylesheets
- Tag the keyframes name when an `animation` value falls back to raw
tokens (#46034). 6 real stylesheets
- In a plain stylesheet `composes: a from "./b.css"` was treated as an
import: the file was inlined and an absolute path printed (#45961). 4
real stylesheets
- Drop a rejected composes instead of failing the file at print time
(#38538). 1 real stylesheets
- Keep every rule's custom properties for the composes conflict check
(#38523)
- Keep composes working after a nested rule in the same block (#38520)
- `IdentOrRef::hash` read 2 of 16 bytes, so in release builds every
class of a module hashed alike (#30784)

**Tokens, `url()`, diagnostics**

- The block skip stack no longer allocates on every block exit (#39533)
- Report the diagnostic's line without its line breaks in
position.lineText (#38342). 192 real stylesheets
- Compare `url()` values by their text (#46895). 26 real stylesheets
- Values kept as tokens keep the blanks they were written with instead
of having them re-invented at print time: `attr(x type(<number>))`
printed `type(< number> )`, which browsers drop. Minified output still
drops the blanks that cannot matter (#45577). 19 real stylesheets
- The IE star hack (`*zoom:1`) failed the whole build. The declaration
is skipped, as every browser does. It is the one syntax error that
builds: tachyons, handsontable and jasmine ship it (#46751). 8 real
stylesheets
- The path of a copied asset spliced into `url()` is always quoted, so a
file name with a space or a parenthesis cannot end the `url()` (#41557).
7 real stylesheets
- Move the skip loop of parse_until_before out of the generic body
(#39520)
- Remove dead code from bun_css: the unused `impl Default for Property`
(#45618)
- Default the at-rule and qualified-rule parser traits, drop the
url_to_css shim (#31999)

**Speed**

Four inputs that took quadratic or exponential time, or produced output
out of proportion, are now linear, with no new limit and no extra pass
(#31639, #42243, #38531, #43421).

**Tests only**

- `css-fuzz.test.ts` never ran in CI and timed out on debug builds; it
is a deterministic table now (#38500)
- `nth-anplusb-ident.test.ts` counts heaps in a child process (#46331)
- `color.test.ts` checks the ansi-16 sweep with one `expect()` (#42824)
- Not CSS, but it failed this PR's CI and fails on `main` too:
`ws-proxy.test.ts` on Windows, "a message sent during a TLS
renegotiation arrives after it". The helper server now renegotiates from
the callback of the frame's write (#46170)

**No pull request covered these**

- `--v: 5.0.1` printed as `5.1`, `--w: 1.0.0` as `10`, `--x: 1+2` as
`12`, `2n+1` as `2n1`: a number token that touches another keeps its
source text.
- `color-scheme: auto` printed as `normal`, and `color-scheme: dark
light` as `light dark`.
- A bare `:global` or `:local` in a CSS module sets the scope of the
names after it, up to the end of the selector, as in css-loader. It was
a build error.
- The scrollbar states (`a:horizontal`,
`::-webkit-scrollbar{&:horizontal{}}`) are valid in a plain compound, as
in WebKit and Blink.
- Without browser targets, `-webkit-box-align`, `-ms-flex-align` and the
like were dropped next to their standard form (flatpickr,
foundation-sites, materialize-css: 28 stylesheets), and
`-webkit-fill-available` before `-moz-available` (beercss).
- `(-o-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2/1)` printed as `2`.
- `sin()`, `cos()` and `tan()` are exact at multiples of 90deg:
`calc(100px * cos(90deg))` printed `-.00000437114px`.
- A `display-p3` color at targets that have P3 but not the other
`color()` spaces (Safari 10.1 to 14) got itself as a fallback.
- `width: rem(-18px, 5px)` folds to a negative literal once `rem()` is
right; it prints `0`.
- Consecutive nested declarations rules, which arise when same-query
`@media` blocks in one rule merge, are folded into one and count against
the existing selector expansion limit as the `&{}` rules they replace
did.

#### Known and not fixed here

- Four longhands are still folded into a `transition` the author did not
write where the targets add a prefixed copy of a property (`mask-image`
at Chrome 80): only the shorthand gives the copy its own times.
- A later `background`, `box-shadow` or `border-*` declaration still
loses to the `@supports` copy of an earlier `var()` value of the same
property with a wide-gamut color. Same on `main`; #45560 is taken for
the properties of the fallback handler and for unparsed values only.
- A merged rule prints the unprefixed name in the passes of the rule it
absorbed: `.d::-webkit-input-placeholder{}.d::-moz-placeholder{}` prints
`::placeholder` for the second (#42106, not taken: it breaks the merge
of prefix-equivalent rules).
- The `border`, `outline` and `font` shorthands, `line-height`,
`scroll-padding`, `background-size` and a few more still print a
`calc()` that folds below zero as a negative literal. No real stylesheet
has one.
- `all` is not a property Bun knows, so `a{margin-top:1px;all:unset}`
prints `all` first. Same on `main`.
- A selector kept as raw tokens loses the blank before `*` when
minified: `--sel: .dark *` prints `.dark*`. Same on `main`.
- `width:calc(0% + 12px)` folds to `12px`, which lays out differently in
a table cell. Same on `main`.
- The `:dir()` / `:lang()` rules of a lowered logical property print
before the nested rules of their rule, so a logical declaration written
after a nested rule of equal specificity still loses to it. Same on
`main`.
- A fraction is still rounded to 6 significant digits (`12345.678`
prints `12345.7`, `33.3333333333%` prints `33.3333%`). Keeping every
digit would add up to 282 KB over the corpus.
- `@keyframes "quoted"` is hashed in a module but not exported.
- In a module, a keyframes name inside a `var()` fallback is not hashed:
`animation: var(--enter, fade 1s)`. Same on `main`.
- A `color-mix()` or relative color folded to a hex inside a gradient
changes the interpolation from Oklab to sRGB (VS Code, clawhub).
Printing `color(srgb ..)` instead needs a fallback for `mask-image`,
`list-style-image` and custom properties at the default targets, which
have none.
- A comma list in `@container` still fails the build.
- After a bare `:global`, names that are hashed at print time
(`::view-transition-old(foo)`) are still hashed; inside `:global(...)`
they are not.

Out of scope: CSS linking and chunking in the bundler, the dev server,
docs-only pull requests, and repository-wide sweeps that touch `src/css`
in passing.

### How did you verify your code works?

- The 35 CSS test files pass on a debug build, also with
`FORCE_COLOR=1`. 600+ of the tests in this branch fail on a build of
`main`. An earlier head of this branch passed all 179 CI jobs that ran.
- The reproduction of each issue listed above was run on `main` (wrong)
and on this branch (right).
- Differential run over the 10,116 stylesheets, `main` against this
branch, minified without targets and through `Bun.build` at the default
targets: no stylesheet that builds on `main` fails; Chromium 156
compares the output with the input rule by rule (CSSOM, then computed
values on a sized element in a standards-mode document, colors as
painted pixels in sRGB and P3). The comparison has 195 control pairs
that must read equal or different. For stylesheets that read differently
on both builds, mostly because of lowering, the sets of differences were
compared; the three new ones are two minifier fixtures that are wrong on
both and one comparison artifact.
- CSS modules are checked for consistency instead, since hashed names
defeat the comparison: every reference points at a name the output
defines, every export exists.
- `Bun.color`: 59 inputs in 13 formats on both builds; every changed
cell was read.

Not taken in #47025 (7942008), which consolidated the open CSS parser pull requests. It is right or harmless, but not worth its code, the bigger output or the behavior it changes.

Understood. The merge of the shorthand after a logical property stays as it is, and the extra bytes in the other cases are not worth the change. Nothing else to do here.
