…y mutate A top-level `X.y = v`, `X.prototype.y = v`, or `X.a.b = v` only changes an object that `X` owns. When `X` is a module-local class, function, or object literal that is never reassigned, and `v` has no side effects, the parser marks the part removable and registers it as one of `X`'s declaring parts in `top_level_symbols_to_parts`. The linker then keeps the assignment exactly when a live part reads or exports `X`, instead of treating it as an unconditional side effect that pins `X` into every bundle. The statement stays a side effect when the class or literal declares an accessor with that name (walking a local `extends` chain), when the parent class is not local, when a prefix of the path may alias an object `X` does not own, when the key is not a plain identifier or string, or when `v` has side effects.

Four writes were claimed for a binding although a setter could run: - A sibling write rewrote a prefix of the path with a fresh literal that declares a setter. Any sibling write to a prefix now keeps the deeper write. - The target path contained `__proto__`, which changes the prototype chain. Such a path is never owned. - A static block or static initializer with side effects installed an accessor on the class. The owner's declaring part must be removable. - Live code mutated a parent class (`Object.defineProperty`, a static method call). A parent qualifies only when every part that uses it is an `extends` clause, an owned write, or an export clause.

…tion or a setter write A subclass with a static block or a static initializer can reach the parent through `this`, so the `extends` exemption now requires the subclass's part to be removable. A write on the parent that runs a setter the parent declares is live code that can mutate it, so such a write no longer counts as owned.
The esbuild comparison records that a top-level `X.y = v` on an unused local binding is removed, as Rollup does. The `can_be_removed_if_unused` comments name the second way a part earns the flag. Two cases cover a static block and a static initializer that hand `this` to code that installs a setter later.

Real packages,
bun build --minify, this branch vs. the current release. The first number is the best case, a math-only import of a library built on this pattern; a typical scene import moves little, and a library that does not use the pattern does not change at all.import { Vector3, Matrix4, Color }: 222,413 to 199,308 bytes (-10.4%). threeimport { Scene, Mesh, BoxGeometry, MeshStandardMaterial, PerspectiveCamera, WebGLRenderer }: 479,501 to 478,151 bytes (-0.3%).import * as THREE: unchanged at 690,554 bytes. TheTexture.DEFAULT_*,Object3D.DEFAULT_*, andKeyframeTrack.prototype.*writes are gone. The sixprototype.ValueTypeNamewrites on theKeyframeTracksubclasses stay:AnimationClip.toJSONcallsKeyframeTrack.toJSON(track), so the parent is used outsideextends, and a static method could install an accessor at run time.ShaderLib.physical = {...}stays because its value callsmergeUniforms(), andPropertyBinding.prototype.GetterByBindingType = [PropertyBinding.prototype._getValue_direct, ...]stays because the value reads properties. Those are side effects under the existing rules forv, not assignment ownership.import { TextSelection }: 41,504 to 29,916 bytes (-27.9%). @tanstack/table-coreimport { createColumnHelper }: unchanged, nothing it pulls in writes to an unused binding.The repro's
C.prototype.big = "x".repeat(100000)is not removed: the value is a call, which the side-effect check treats as impure. That needs knowledge of pure builtins, which is separate from this change.Three tests in

X = ...or a second declaration must veto), so the claim runs after the loop, over the candidates only.Object.freeze(X)/Object.defineProperty(X, ...)need no special case forXitself: they are calls, so their part is live, it readsX, and every owned part ofXbecomes live through the same map. They matter for a parent class, which is why a parent must be used only byextends, owned writes, and exports.this(Object.getPrototypeOf(this.prototype)) and runs at the top level before the write is not seen. The calling part names the sibling, not the parent. The only sound rule would reject a parent as soon as any subclass is referenced by live code, which rejects every real hierarchy.Review: the restructure into the existing loop was asked for in review.
