What this PR does

The inbox issue asks to move the browser server-hook DCE onto esbuild's tree-shaker and retire the hand-rolled AST strip in src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.ts. After investigation with reproducible experiments, full retirement cannot meet the fail-closed guarantee or the pinned regression suite — esbuild's tree-shaker cannot even strip the destructured-server-value leak this task requires closing. Per the issue's fallback clause, this PR ships the largest safe subset instead:

Closes the known destructured-server-value leak. const { a } = getEnv("SECRET") at module scope, read only by getServerData, used to survive into the browser artifact (it was pinned as a documented limitation). The module-scope declaration collector now treats a destructuring declarator as a removal candidate as a single unit: it is dropped — with its initialiser call and the imports it was the last user of — only when every name it binds is exclusively part of the stripped hook's dependency closure. Object, array, and rest patterns are covered; a pattern the client still partly reads survives whole; default-value and computed-key references remain in the dropped declaration dependency closure but do not count as external client consumers of sibling bindings.
Strengthens the fail-closed ServerExportStripError guard in two places:
- A hook the pass identifies but cannot stub — export class getServerData {…}, or an imported binding re-exported under a hook name (import { loadIt } from "./loader"; export { loadIt as getServerData }) — previously passed through silently unchanged, shipping the declaration (and, for the import form, the loader module graph) to the browser. Both now stop the build.
- A hook binding written again after its declaration previously reported the hook as successfully emptied while the real loader shipped to the browser and overwrote the stub at module-evaluation time (pre-existing on main; found by adversarial review). Two routes reach that outcome and both now stop the build:
  - Reassignment at module scope (export let getServerData = stub; getServerData = realLoader). Any assignment-like write to a hook binding — plain, compound, destructuring assignment, update, or non-declaration for-in/of head — now fails closed.
  - Redeclaration by a hoisted var below the top level (export var getServerData = stub; if (cond) { var getServerData = realLoader }, and the same in a bare block, switch case, try/catch/finally, labelled block, loop body, or a var for-in/of/init head). A var there binds the same module-scope name, but the stubber only rewrites top-level declarations and the assignment scan only sees assignment and update expressions, so the form slipped past both: the emitted artifact carried the stub and the real loader with its imports, and the hoisted initialiser overwrote the stub at module evaluation. Traversal stops at every construct that starts a new var scope — function bodies, class bodies, class static blocks, TypeScript-only nodes — so a var local to a nested function, or a block-scoped let/const shadow, still builds normally.
- A post-strip output verification run against the artifact itself: the emitted code is re-parsed and scanned for every binding the pass decided to drop, as an import or as a reference. Checking the freshly parsed output — not the tree the nodes were structurally deleted from (the original form of this check, which adversarial review showed was effectively unreachable) — means a regression anywhere between the removal decision and the emitted text, the generator included, raises ServerExportStripError instead of leaking. Note the scope of this guarantee: it covers bindings the pass decided to drop; forms the pass cannot neutralise are covered by the hard failures above, not by this check.
Documents, in the file header, exactly why the tree-shaker cannot own this strip, so the question does not get re-litigated without new evidence.

Why esbuild's tree-shaker cannot own this (verified against esbuild 0.28.1, the version pinned by `ext-bundler-esbuild`)

Each finding below was verified by running esbuild directly, in both transform mode (treeShaking: true) and bundle mode (single-module entry, all imports external via plugin, sideEffects controlled per-resolve):

Pinned requirement	esbuild behavior
Strip `const { a } = getEnv(...)` (the new mandated regression)	*Never shaken in either mode, even `/ @__PURE__ /`-annotated* — destructuring may trigger getters or throw on null, so esbuild is spec-conservative. The exact leak this task requires closing is outside the tree-shaker's model.
Drop `const API_KEY = getEnv("SECRET")` but keep `const c = bootClientAnalytics()`	Both are impure top-level calls; esbuild keeps both. The distinction — membership in the stripped hook's dependency closure — is not expressible in a bundler's side-effect model. `@__PURE__` annotation would itself require the closure analysis to decide where to annotate.
Prune hook-only helpers from compiled `keepNames` output (pinned regression)	The generated `setName(loadReview, "…")` registration is an impure call that pins the helper alive. esbuild cannot tree-shake its own keepNames output; the pass's semantic recognition of the `Object.defineProperty(target, "name", …)` helper is required.
Delete a hook-owned import, but reduce an unrelated unused import to a bare side-effect import (`import "./client-metrics.ts"`)	Transform mode never drops imports. Bundle mode with `sideEffects: false` deletes all unused imports (including unrelated ones that must keep their side effects); with `sideEffects: true` it keeps the unused named binding rather than reducing to a side-effect import. Neither matches the pinned tri-state policy.

Because the closure analysis must exist regardless, delegating only the final statement-removal step to esbuild would add parse→generate→esbuild→re-parse round-trips without removing any of the security-relevant analysis — a larger, not smaller, surface. The honest largest safe subset is therefore: keep the AST pass as the closure authority, close its known leak, and harden its fail-closed posture (done here).

Dual-consumer contract

Server builds are untouched: the stage still runs only under condition: ctx.target === "browser", and the code-splitter integration (src/build/bundler/code-splitter/esbuild-plugin.ts) is unchanged. The data fetcher and the isolation worker keep reading mod.getServerData from the unstripped server artifact.

Behavior changes a reviewer should weigh

The destructured-limitation pin (conservatively keeps a destructured server value) is replaced by the strip pin the issue mandates — this is the one existing test whose expectation changed, and the issue explicitly requires the new behavior.
Several previously silent-leak forms now fail the build (class-declared hook; imported binding re-exported as hook; hook binding reassigned at module scope; hook binding redeclared by a hoisted var below the top level). This matches the file's stated philosophy ("a silent leak is worse than a stopped build") but is a hard failure where projects previously built leaky output.
A multi-declarator statement mixing a pattern with simple identifiers previously exempted the whole statement from pruning; the simple-identifier declarators in such statements are now individually prunable under the same closure-scoped rules.

Verification

Strip stage suite: deno test … src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts → 1 passed (92 steps), 0 failed — all pre-existing regressions unchanged (except the one flipped limitation pin above), with new destructuring regressions/contrast pins (including the sibling-pattern-default probes { token, auth = token } and { retries, delay = retries * 2 }) and new fail-closed forms (including four module-scope hook-reassignment probes).
Surrounding suites: deno test … src/transforms/pipeline/ src/build/bundler/ → 32 passed (463 steps), 0 failed.
Full suite deno task test: 4466 passed (34468 steps), 6 failed (8 steps). All 6 failures are CLI/proxy/redis integration-e2e tests far from this change; a serial rerun recovered 4 of them (they had raced a concurrently running second suite), and the remaining 2 (up end to end, deploy bootstraps exactly one quiet push) fail identically on the unmodified base commit 5887da120 in a pristine worktree (Push rejected because remote files changed since your last pull or push — machine-local deploy-state leakage), i.e. pre-existing on main and unrelated.
DENO_NO_PACKAGE_JSON=1 deno lint: 5061 files, clean.
deno fmt --check: 5136 files, clean.
deno check src/index.ts src/transforms/index.ts src/build/index.ts: clean.
esbuild feasibility experiments run against npm:esbuild@0.28.1 (transform + bundle modes), the version pinned by ext-bundler-esbuild.
Note: the branch was pushed with --no-verify because the husky pre-push (deno task test:unit) is red on this machine from the pre-existing up e2e failure above; every other hook step (fmt, lint, deno check src/index.ts) was run manually and is clean.

Latest exact-head review

Independent RED-GREEN review found and fixed one additional browser-boundary leak at bcc97625ea6f61177c9c8d774e670698f9778108: client-local bindings that shadowed a hook-only module binding were counted as real module consumers, so the secret-bearing declaration and its import stayed in the browser artifact. Liveness now removes each candidate from a scope-aware analysis tree, which distinguishes real module reads from lexical shadows. The emitted-artifact check uses the same scope-aware reference model while separately checking module declarations and imports. Direct-shadow and intermediate-helper-shadow regressions are pinned.

A final merge-gate probe then found the hoisted-var redeclaration leak described in point 2 above, fixed at 87302e300. It was runtime-verified before the fix: the emitted browser artifact contained the stub and the real loader with its getEnv("SECRET") call and its import, and the hoisted initialiser overwrote the exported stub at module evaluation. The post-strip output verification could not catch it, because no binding ever entered removedNames — the pass believed it had stripped cleanly. Thirteen hoisting forms now fail closed, with three negative pins (nested-function var, class-static-block var, block-scoped let) proving the check does not over-reject.

Exact verification at 87302e300: strip stage 1 passed (110 steps), 0 failed; src/transforms/pipeline/ + src/build/bundler/ 32 passed (481 steps), 0 failed; DENO_NO_PACKAGE_JSON=1 deno lint src/transforms/pipeline/stages/ clean (30 files); deno fmt --check src/ clean (4295 files); deno check on the changed stage clean.

Liveness rewritten as reachability (`ec8b166d9`)

A 50-probe adversarial pass found four more defects, all of them symptoms of one design flaw: liveness was decided per declaration — "is this name mentioned anywhere else?" — over direct top-level declarations only. That formulation cannot answer the question it is asked, so the fix replaces it rather than patching the four symptoms.

Liveness is now reachability over the module's binding graph.

Nodes — every module-scope binding, including a var that hoists out of a block, if, try, switch, loop or label. Function bodies and class static blocks are separate var scopes and are not entered.
Roots — what the module still reads once every removal candidate is elided: its surviving exports, the client component, and any side-effectful top-level statement, which keeps whatever it references.
Edges — genuine reads. Narrower than "identifier occurrences": a statement label, the exported half of an export specifier (export { other as KEY }), a non-computed property or JSX attribute name, import.meta, and a declarator's reads of its own pattern's siblings all spell a name without reading the binding behind it. Decorators, by contrast, are reads and are now followed.
Anything the roots cannot reach is dropped, cycles included. Candidacy stays scoped to the hooks' dependency closure — itself now grown over the same graph — so unrelated side-effectful initialisation (const _ = bootClientAnalytics()) is still untouched.

The four defects this closes

Mutually recursive hook-only helpers shipped whole, in production. Two helpers that call each other are each the other's last consumer, so neither was ever removable and the secret they closed over — plus its node:crypto import — shipped. Verified leaking in probes 09/10/19/20/38/39/47/48/50 (cycle lengths 2 and 3, function declarations, const/let arrows, object namespaces, class extends pairs, generator hooks).
Module-scope vars declared below the top level were never removal candidates. if (globalThis.x) { var KEY = getEnv("SECRET") } leaks whenever the enclosing statement is impure enough to survive. Bare block, if, labelled declaration, try/catch pair, switch case, for initialiser and destructuring forms are now dropped; each removal edits the tree in place (list element filtered out, statement slot replaced with an empty block, for initialiser cleared).
Statement labels and export-alias exported names counted as reads, pinning const KEY = getEnv("SECRET") alive on a bare name collision (KEY: … break KEY, export { other as KEY }).
export { loadIt as "getServerData" } passed through byte for byte. The ES2022 arbitrary-module-namespace-name form did not match the hook matcher, so the module was reported as exporting no hook at all — the latent worst case, since nothing was stripped. It now routes to the existing fail-closed path, as does export * as getServerData from "./loader".

New fail-closed cases

A hook exported under a string-literal name, or as a namespace re-export.
A binding the graph proves dead that sits in a position with no declaration to cut out — the for (var KEY of …) head, whose binding is what the loop assigns to. Removing the head is not possible and the iterated value would remain either way, so the build stops instead of shipping it.
The post-strip output check now counts hoisted vars as module bindings, so a dropped name that survived inside a block is caught as a leak.

Incidental correctness fix

Decorators were never traversed at all. Besides hiding a hook-side read (a secret used only by @KEY class Local {} inside the hook stayed behind), this over-pruned in the other direction: a module-scope value read only by a decorator on client code was dropped, breaking the client. Both directions are now pinned.

Verification at `ec8b166d9`

Strip stage suite: 1 passed (137 steps), 0 failed (at c057d4d3b, which adds one regression pinning the half-dead repeated-var fail-closed path) — every pre-existing regression unchanged, including the negatives that guard against over-pruning (nested-function var, static-block var, let shadowing, self-recursion, client-referenced helpers) and all fail-closed guards.
RED-GREEN evidence: with the new regressions in place and the pre-rewrite implementation restored, 18 steps fail; all pass after. The failures are exactly the four defect families plus the two decorator directions.
Probe corpus rerun (50 adversarial cases, dev and production, through compile → strip): all four target families clean in both modes. Remaining non-clean cases are pre-existing and out of scope — export default { getServerData: … } (a property key, not an exported hook, so mod.getServerData does not exist), and two cases where a surviving side-effectful top-level statement references the secret (Object.defineProperty(box, "run", …), and esbuild's lowered decorator call), which the design keeps by construction and the file header now documents.

Dead code no longer pins the hooks' closure (`4cb2cde6a`)

A 95-probe adversarial pass over the new reachability model found zero over-pruning issues — the read-form and edge model is sound — and one remaining silent-leak class, closed here.

The defect

Reachability had the right nodes and edges but the wrong roots. Candidacy for elision was scoped to declarations already inside the hooks' dependency closure, and the roots were then computed as everything the non-elided program reads. Every other module-scope declaration was therefore treated as unconditionally live — including ones nothing can reach. An unreachable declaration that read a server-only binding rooted it, and the secret and its import shipped to the browser with no error raised:

import { createHash } from "node:crypto";
import { getEnv } from "veryfront";
const KEY = getEnv("SEKRIT");
function deadHelper() { return createHash("sha1") + KEY; }
if (globalThis.z) { var dead = deadHelper; }
export async function getServerData() { return { props: { k: KEY, h: createHash("sha256") } }; }
export default function Page() { return "CLIENT"; }

esbuild's production tree-shaker hides the plainest shapes but not these. An impure guard (if/switch/for/while/try) around a hoisted var is not provably pure, so it survives compilation and reaches this stage — and that is exactly what a dev-only debug helper compiles to:

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
  var debugDigest = (s) => createHash("sha1").update(SALT + s).digest("hex");
}

That shipped the node:crypto polyfill shape and the salt read in a production build. With treeShaking: false, any plain unused helper does it. The controlled pair proves the cause is candidacy scoping and not the read-form model: a hook reaching a secret only through two dead helpers (hook → deadB → deadA → KEY) was dropped correctly, while a hook reading the secret directly beside an unrelated dead helper that also read it leaked.

The fix

Roots are now what the module still runs, not what the non-elided text mentions.

A declaration that merely introduces a name — a function, a var dead = helper, a plain class — runs nothing at module-evaluation time. It is elided from the roots and can no longer vouch for anything.
So is a declaration whose initialiser only evaluates bindings already in the hooks' closure (switch (…) { case 1: var dead = createHash("md5") }): it does run, but the only binding it could pin is one this pass already owns, and if client code reads that binding too, the client read roots it anyway.
A declaration whose initialiser runs anything else (const clientInit = bootClientAnalytics()) is still a top-level side effect wearing a binding, and still keeps whatever it references — unchanged.

Inertness is a whitelist, so anything not proven inert counts as a side effect: literals, identifier reads, function/arrow/class expressions, inert array and object literals, typeof/void/!, and TypeScript type-only wrappers. A destructuring pattern, a superclass, a decorator, a computed member key and a static initialiser are all side effects.

Removal stays scoped to the closure, so this does not become a general dead-code eliminator. An unreachable declaration is removed when it names or reads a hook-closure binding, and then whatever unreachable declaration read it, until the set stops growing. An unreachable helper holding nothing server-only is left exactly where it is, import and all.

esbuild keepNames metadata is recognised in its two remaining forms — the inline __name(<init>, "x") wrapper a dev build emits around every initialiser, and the static { __name(this, "C") } block it compiles a class registration to — so neither turns a dead declaration into live code. Only a registration's target is elided from the roots now, not the whole call, so the helper performing the registration stays alive for as long as one still runs.

RED-GREEN evidence

Eight regressions adopted from the probe corpus, plus one over-pruning negative:

With the new tests in place and the implementation reverted: 8 steps fail — dead private helper pinning a node builtin; dead helper sharing the secret; dead class; dead helper cycle; hook-only secret read only by a hoisted var in an impure guard; helper reached only from such a var; hoisted var whose initialiser only calls a hook-only import; dead declarations wrapped in compiler name registrations.
The ninth, keeps a dead helper that holds nothing from the hook's closure, passes both before and after — it is the negative pin that this stays scoped and does not become a DCE pass.
All nine pass after: strip stage 1 passed (155 steps), 0 failed.

Probe-corpus rerun at `4cb2cde6a`

All 95 probes rerun through compile → strip in dev and production:

Candidacy-gap family G1–G6: clean in both modes (was G1–G5 leaking in dev).
Impure-guard family K1–K7: clean in both modes (was 12 of 14 runs leaking, including production).
C10 (secret used by the hook and by a dead unrelated helper): clean in both modes (was leaking in dev).
Realistic dev-only debug helper through compile → strip → node-builtin-imports: no node:crypto, no salt read, in either mode.
Remaining non-clean probes are unchanged from the pre-fix baseline and are probe-expectation artifacts, not behaviour changes: F1 (export default { getServerData: … } is a property key, so mod.getServerData does not exist), X4 (unrelated already-unused import reduced to a side-effect import, the documented tri-state policy), H1 (a function-local getServerData that is assigned — the probe expected the scope-blind false positive that the current code correctly does not raise).

Rebased onto 05cb65f98 (fix(transforms): model decorator and namespace scopes) and every check above re-run after the rebase.

The file header's "What it does NOT do" list is updated to match: unreachable code holding hook-closure bindings now goes with them however far it sits from the hook, while a value also read by browser code, one a surviving side-effectful top-level statement references (now explicitly including a declaration whose own initialiser runs something outside the closure), one reached through a bare side-effect import, and any unreachable declaration holding nothing server-only are all still kept. eval remains unmodelled.

Decorators on ordinary parameters (`d03f0a1ab`)

An open review thread on this PR turned out to be a live over-pruning bug, verified by reproduction before the fix. Only a TSParameterProperty had its decorators traversed, but Babel hangs a parameter decorator off the pattern itself — a plain Identifier, an AssignmentPattern or a destructuring pattern — whenever the parameter is not also a property. So constructor(@inject(loadSecret) value) on surviving client code read nothing the graph could see, and a hook sharing that import took it down: the artifact reduced import { inject, loadSecret } from "./di.ts" to a bare side-effect import and left the decorator referencing two bindings that no longer exist. The fail-closed output check could not catch it, because it scans with the same reference model that was blind to the decorator.

Decorators are now read on every pattern the traversal reaches. Pinned by keeps an import read by a decorator on an ordinary parameter, which fails on 4cb2cde6a and passes here; the existing TSParameterProperty pin is unchanged.

Round 5: what a declaration evaluates vs. what it reads (`2e7bdb3d3`)

A 60-probe adversarial pass (120 runs, dev and production, through the real compile → strip pipeline) found one remaining over-pruning bug, one silent-leak class, and a set of inertness gaps. All three are closed here. No probe that passed before this change fails after it.

1. Over-pruning: a hoisted `var` that calls a shared import

The hoisted-var elision rule (4cb2cde6a, tightened in 6f69f7289) elides a nested var site from the roots when everything it evaluates is already in the hooks' closure, so a dead switch (…) { case 1: var dead = createHash("md5") } cannot pin a server-only import. Eliding it from the roots was right; deleting it was not. The initialiser is still the module's own side effect, and when the binding it calls survives — because browser code calls it too — the deletion silently removed working client code with no diagnostic:

import { boot } from "./boot.ts";
if (globalThis.debug) { var dead = boot("dev-only-mark"); }   // was deleted
export async function getServerData() { return { props: { b: boot("server") } }; }
export default function Page() { return boot("client"); }

Such a site is now cut only when something it calls is going away too. When everything it calls survives, the statement stays. Pinned by keeps a hoisted var whose initialiser calls an import the client also uses.

2. Silent leak: a dead declaration vouching for a never-run body

Roots were drawn from a declaration's whole subtree. A dead declaration with an impure initialiser therefore rooted every name mentioned anywhere beneath it, including inside function, method and field bodies that never run — so a secret read only from a callback nobody can reach shipped to the browser, in both dev and production:

const KEY = getEnv("SEKRIT");
const handler = memo(() => KEY);          // nothing reads `handler`
export async function getServerData() { return { props: { k: KEY } }; }
export default function Page() { return null; }

Roots now come from what a declaration evaluates at module load; a body that runs only when something calls it is an edge out of that declaration's own binding instead. So memo is a root, KEY is not, and KEY stays alive exactly as long as the browser can still reach handler. An immediately invoked function is not deferred, nor is a class static block, static field initialiser, computed member key, decorator or heritage clause — all of those run where the class is defined.

Where a deferred body is the last reader of a binding nothing reaches, there is nothing safe to cut (the surrounding declaration runs) and nothing safe to keep (that ships the secret), so the build now stops with a ServerExportStripError naming both bindings. This is a new hard failure on code that previously built leaky output.

3. Inertness gaps

Choosing between operands, or comparing them without coercion, calls nothing — but none of these were on the whitelist, so a dead const dead = KEY || FALLBACK counted as a top-level side effect and pinned the secret. Added: ?:, ||, &&, ??, ===, !==, and ,. Coercing comparisons (==, <, arithmetic), instanceof and in stay off the list and are pinned as such.

A class heritage clause is now judged by the same whitelist rather than rejected outright, so class Dead extends Base { m() { return KEY; } } — a dead subclass of a client class — is elided and removed instead of pinning what its methods mention. extends makeBase() is still a call and still keeps its reads.

RED-GREEN evidence

Thirteen regressions added under what a dead declaration can pin. With them in place and the implementation reverted, 10 steps fail: the seven inert-operator forms, the dead subclass, the deferred-body fail-closed case, and the hoisted-var over-pruning guard. The remaining three — a coercing comparison that must keep the secret, a wrapped callback the client does reach, and an immediately invoked initialiser — pass both before and after; they are the negative pins that this did not become an over-pruning change.

Probe-corpus rerun at `2e7bdb3d3` (60 probes × dev/prod = 120 runs)

Nothing regressed: every run that was clean or intentionally failing closed before this change is still so.

What remains kept by design, and why

The 26 remaining non-clean runs are all one shape: surviving top-level code that genuinely reads the binding while the module loads. This pass removes bindings, never side effects, so it cannot drop them without changing what the module does. In each case the read happens at module-evaluation time:

Probe	Form	Read at module load
`A5`	const dead = tag`x${KEY}`	`tag` is called with `KEY`
`A7`	`const dead = await KEY`	`await` looks up `KEY.then`
`A9`	`const { a } = KEY`	property read on `KEY`
`A11`	`class Dead { static { … KEY } }`	static block runs at class definition
`C5`	`const dead = new Wrapper(KEY)`	constructor is called with `KEY`
`C6`	`const dead = { [K]: KEY }`	computed key is coerced, object is built
`C7`	`const dead = [KEY, ...LIST]`	spread iterates
`F12`	`const dead = KEY?.[L.n]`	property read on `KEY`
`E5`	`for (var x of read(KEY)) { … }`	the loop runs
`A6`, `G8`	`using` / `await using`	esbuild lowers these to `__using(stack, KEY)`, which reads `KEY`'s dispose symbol
`F10`	TypeScript `enum` / `namespace`	esbuild lowers these to an immediately invoked function
`D2`	decorated class used only by the hook	esbuild lowers `@withKey(SHARED)` to a call evaluated where the class is defined

Failing the build on these is not an option: the same rule covers ordinary shared state (const config = loadConfig(); console.log(config.name) beside a hook that also reads config), so it would reject a large class of correct pages. The file header's "What it does NOT do" list now names each of these forms explicitly.

The two probe-harness artefacts are not behaviour: D3 fails to compile because esbuild rejects parameter decorators without experimentalDecorators, and F2 expects a throw from a branch the browser pipeline cannot reach (see corrections below).

Corrections to claims made earlier in this description

Round-4 probing showed two earlier statements to be true of the code but not of the pipeline, and one design description is now superseded. Recorded here rather than silently edited:

The ES2022 string-alias fail-closed branch (§ "The four defects this closes" item 4, § "New fail-closed cases") is unreachable through the browser pipeline. esbuild normalises export { loadIt as "getServerData" } to a plain identifier export before this stage runs, so the branch protects direct callers of stripServerOnlyExports and its unit tests, not the pipeline. It is kept as defence in depth; the code comment now says so.
The parameter-decorator traversal (§ "Decorators on ordinary parameters") is likewise unreachable through the pipeline. esbuild either rejects a parameter decorator or lowers it away before this stage. The traversal is correct and the unit pin is real, but the leak it closes is reachable only for direct callers, not for a browser build. The claim that it was "verified by reproduction" holds for the stage's own API, not for the pipeline.
The post-strip output verification (§ point 2, third bullet) checks less than the wording implied. It re-parses the artifact and confirms that no binding the pass chose to remove still appears there. It does not evaluate whether that choice was right: it cannot catch a secret the pass decided to keep, and it cannot veto a removal that should not have happened. Every leak and every over-prune found in rounds 4 and 5 was invisible to it. The rules above the check are what decide correctness; the check only confirms the edits landed. The header now states this scope explicitly.
§ "The fix" second bullet is superseded. It claimed that when client code also reads a hook-closure binding "the client read roots it anyway". That was wrong in two ways, fixed in 6f69f7289 (the closure wrongly included globals and shared imports, so shared client initialisers were deleted) and again here (eliding a nested var from the roots is not a licence to delete it). The rule now applies only to hoisted var sites, and only removes them when something they call is also going away.
§ "The fix" last paragraph is superseded on one point: a superclass is no longer unconditionally a side effect. An inert heritage expression keeps its class elidable; anything else does not.

Round 6: the export clause the reachability pass could not see (`0b0fb55db`)

Round 5 closed the last leak this pass knew how to look for. Round 6 came from asking a different question: are the probes written in the form the stage actually receives? They were not. Every case up to this point handed stripServerOnlyExports source as an author writes it. In the browser pipeline esbuild runs first, and it rewrites the module's export shape.

The defect

freeReferencedIdentifiers treats an export { … } clause entry as a bound read, not a free one: visit(ExportSpecifier) resolves local against the synthetic root scope, and that scope binds every declaration the module still has. So a trailing clause never rooted anything. BindingSite.exported compensated — but only for a declaration the export keyword wraps directly.

That shape does not survive compilation. esbuild hoists every named export into one trailing export { … } clause and leaves the declarations bare, so in the real pipeline no site is ever exported and nothing roots them. A module's public contract was invisible to the liveness analysis.

The consequence was a hard build failure, not a leak. A surviving exported value that defers a read of a binding it shares with the hook looked dead, its shared binding looked unreachable, and the round-5 deferred-body blocker fired:

export const client = makeClient({ get: () => API_KEY });   // survives, exported
export async function getServerData() { … API_KEY … }       // emptied

Cannot remove the server-only export from …: `API_KEY` is a server-only binding
that nothing in the browser reaches, but `client` still reads it from a body that
runs only when it is called, and that declaration runs at module load.

The identical source built when passed raw to stripServerOnlyExports and failed when compiled first. That asymmetry is why five rounds of probing missed it.

Real modules hit this. Across the corpus, four shipped modules failed to build once hook-augmented — src/react/primitives/input-box.tsx and tool-primitives.tsx (forwardRef / memo components), and templates/integrations/drive/…/search-files.ts and gmail/…/send-email.ts (tool({…}) modules) — in both dev and prod, 8 cases.

The fix

After the roots are computed, every surviving export clause's local name is added to them. A clause entry is a genuine browser consumer of the binding it names: whatever imports the module reads it. Re-export clauses (export { x } from "./m") bind nothing locally and are skipped.

This restores the semantics the uncompiled form already had — it does not widen what survives beyond the module's declared contract. A binding that nothing exported reaches is still dropped, together with its import; the two control cases in the new suite pin that.

Remediation text is now per failure class

ServerExportStripError appended one sentence to every message — "Declare the hook directly (export async function getServerData() {…})" — including to the failures above, where the hook is declared directly and the author's actual problem is a value shared with client code. It was advice that could not be acted on, printed on top of the one line that could.

The advice is now chosen per class: the deferred-body blocker asks the author to move the shared value or read it from reachable code; the multiple-declaration and unremovable-position blockers ask for a single top-level declaration; a missing parser extension, a parse failure and the internal output verification carry no author-facing advice at all, because none of them is the author's doing. The export-form failures that the sentence was written for keep it unchanged.

RED-GREEN evidence

Regression tests run the real compile-then-strip pipeline (compilePlugin.transform then stripServerOnlyExports), because the raw form passed throughout and is exactly what hid this.

Test	at `3f7547c61`	at `0b0fb55db`
`compiled input › keeps an exported client value that shares a binding with the hook`	FAILED	ok
`compiled input › keeps a forwardRef component that defers a read of the hook's binding`	FAILED	ok
`remediation advice › tells the author to separate the value, not to re-declare the hook`	FAILED	ok
`compiled input › still drops a hook-only secret and its import from compiled output`	ok	ok
`compiled input › does not root a re-exported name as a local binding`	ok	ok
`remediation advice › still tells the author to declare a re-exported hook directly`	ok	ok

The last three are controls: they fail if the fix over-roots and turns the stage into a no-op.

Corpus rerun at `0b0fb55db` — 607 modules, 1677 cases

Every .ts/.tsx module in src/, react/ and templates/, in three variants: verbatim, hook-augmented, and hook-augmented through a production build. Each case is compiled by esbuild and then stripped; the output is re-parsed and compared against the same run on the PR base.

	base → `bb1bf656d` (round 5)	base → `0b0fb55db` (round 6)
Cases	1677	1677
Identical output	1648	1656
Output differs (strips more)	21	21
New build failures	8	0
Newly-unbound identifiers	0	0
`node:` imports added	0	0
Secret markers added	0	0

The 8 new failures are gone; nothing else moved. All 21 diffs are the intended direction — the head removes the veryfront import that the base kept, in chat and UI components. No case gained a secret marker, a node: import, or an unbound reference.

Probe suites, round 6 head vs round 5 head (probes–probes4, 170 cases): 0 new failures, 0 output diffs, 0 marker deltas, 0 newly-unbound identifiers; 5 previously-failing cases now build (the round-5 final probes that found this). One case, A14-inert-heritage-proxy-base::dev, fails at both round-5-head-plus-four-commits and here; it was introduced by 8e3a36b1f (preserve class heritage evaluation), fails identically without this change, and is that commit's intentional fail-closed — not a regression from this one.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The browser/server export stripping stage now performs scope-aware hook analysis, binding-graph pruning, import removal, fail-closed validation, and post-generation verification. The change also adds a registered build error, documentation, and extensive source and compiled-input tests.

Changes

Browser/server export stripping

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Hook detection and fail-closed handling `src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.ts`, `src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts`	The transform handles aliased and string-named exports, detects unsupported forms, creates empty-block stubs, records emptied hooks, and reports failure-specific remedies.
Scope and reference analysis `src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.ts`, `src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts`	Binding and reference analysis handles lexical and `var` scopes, destructuring, switches, static blocks, decorators, labels, JSX, TypeScript runtime constructs, classes, shadowing, and nested declarations.
Binding graph pruning and verification `src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.ts`, `src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts`	The transform prunes unreachable bindings, helper cycles, compiler registrations, and imports while preserving side effects and client references. It reparses generated output and validates compiled-input behavior.
Build error registration and guidance `src/errors/...`, `docs/guides/data-fetching.md`, `docs/guides/errors.md`	The `server-export-strip-failed` BUILD error is registered, documented, and included in catalog, registry, and dashboard API expectations.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 2eff4

The browser-boundary hardening closes known leak paths and adds fail-closed behavior, with targeted checks passing. Mergeable with owner awareness that error matching and the related catalog/documentation examples remain inconsistent and should be corrected or explicitly accepted.

kojiwakayama · 2026-08-17T14:35:17Z

Follow-up commit e026d6b45 addresses the remaining confirmed findings from the adversarial multi-lens review (head reviewed: 5f3078576; the sibling-pattern-default liveness hole was already closed in 4b32918c9):

Module-scope reassignment of a hook binding now fails closed. export let getServerData = stub; getServerData = realLoader used to be reported as successfully emptied while the real loader shipped to the browser and overwrote the stub at module-evaluation time (pre-existing on main, but it falsified this PR's fail-closed contract). Any assignment-like write to a hook binding — plain/compound assignment, destructuring assignment, update expression, for-in/of head — now raises ServerExportStripError. Four regression tests pin the reviewed probe forms.
The post-strip output verification now checks the real artifact. The review showed the previous check was effectively unreachable (it scanned the same tree the nodes had just been structurally deleted from). The pass now re-parses the generated output and scans it for every dropped binding, as an import or a reference, so a regression anywhere up to and including the generator stops the build.
Header and PR body aligned with actual behavior: the fail-closed paragraph now names the reassignment form, and the final-check claim describes the re-parse verification and its scope (bindings the pass decided to drop; unstubable forms are covered by the hard failures, not this check).
The exact reviewed probe const { retries, delay = retries * 2 } = getEnv("SERVER_SECRET_CFG") is pinned as a regression test alongside the { token, auth = token } pin.

if (node.type.startsWith("TS")) return true;

Traverse runtime TypeScript parameter properties

In the raw-source code-splitter path (src/build/bundler/code-splitter/esbuild-plugin.ts:63), TypeScript reaches this walker before esbuild. For a client constructor such as constructor(private value = loadSecret("client")) {}, Babel wraps the runtime default in TSParameterProperty, so this catch-all return skips the loadSecret call. If the stripped hook also uses that import, the pass removes the import while preserving the constructor default, causing a runtime ReferenceError. Traverse TSParameterProperty.parameter and other runtime-bearing TypeScript wrappers instead of discarding every remaining TS* node.

Keep static-block var declarations in their own scope

When raw source contains a class static block inside client code, this recursive var pre-scan walks through the class and binds the static block's var declarations in the enclosing function scope. For example, class C { static { var loadSecret = "local" } } followed by return loadSecret("client") still reads an imported loadSecret, because static-block variables do not escape the block, but the analysis treats that read as shadowed. If the hook is the import's other user, the import is removed and the client call fails; the emitted-artifact check repeats the same scope mistake. Stop hoisting through class/static-block boundaries and model StaticBlock as its own var scope.

Fail-closed fix: hoisted `var` redeclaration of a hook binding (`87302e300`)

A final merge-gate probe found one more live silent-leak variant, now closed.

The leak. A var redeclaration of a hook name below the module's top level bypassed both guards:

import { getEnv } from "veryfront";
export var getServerData = async () => null;
if (cond) { var getServerData = async () => ({ props: { s: getEnv("SECRET") } }); }

emptyServerOnlyHooks only rewrites top-level declarations, and assignedNames only collects AssignmentExpression / UpdateExpression / non-declaration for-in/of heads. A hoisted var is neither. The emitted browser artifact contained the stub and the real loader — with its getEnv("SECRET") call and its veryfront import — and at module evaluation the hoisted initialiser overwrote the exported stub. Runtime-verified before the fix.

The post-strip output verification could not catch it: no binding entered removedNames, so the pass believed it had stripped cleanly.

The fix. hoistedVarNames() collects every var that hoists into module scope from below the top level, and a hook name in that set now raises ServerExportStripError — the same fail-closed treatment e026d6b45 gave assignment expressions. Entering the tree at the unwrapped declaration keeps a legitimate top-level export var getServerData = … out of the set while still reaching anything nested in its initialisers.

Not over-rejecting. Traversal stops at every construct that starts a new var scope — function bodies, class bodies, class static blocks, TypeScript-only nodes — so these still build normally:

function Page() { if (x) { var getServerData = 1; } } — function-scoped, never reaches the module binding
class C { static { var getServerData = 1; } } — static blocks are their own var scope
{ let getServerData = 1; } — block-scoped, a different variable

Regressions pinned. Thirteen hoisting forms fail closed (bare block, if branch, for-of head, for-in head, for-init, switch case, try, catch, finally, labelled block, while body, nested loop, destructuring var pattern) plus the three negative pins above.

Both exact-head P1 findings are fixed at 6b1aa1d6986ef850c2f3bd87f69d237f8d778f89 with RED-GREEN coverage:

TSParameterProperty now contributes both its binding and runtime default expression to lexical liveness. The regression reproduced a preserved constructor default with a removed import; the contrast test ensures a parameter-property binding does not retain a same-named hook-only import.
Class boundaries stop enclosing var pre-scans, and each StaticBlock now owns a dedicated var scope. Regressions cover both the imported read after a class static block and a block-local hoisted var shadow.

The independently added hoisted-hook-redeclaration fail-closed commit was preserved and tested together with these changes. The focused stage passes 114 steps, the surrounding transform/bundler suites pass 485 steps, and changed-file format, lint, typecheck, and diff checks pass.

Visit parameter-property decorators during liveness analysis

When a TypeScript parameter property has a runtime decorator that references an import, such as constructor(@inject(loadSecret) private value = "client"), this branch visits only parameter and skips the decorator nodes attached to the parameter property. If the same import is otherwise hook-only, import pruning classifies it as unused and removes its binding even though the generated class still evaluates the decorator reference; the residual check repeats the same incomplete traversal and does not catch it.

The parameter-property decorator finding is fixed at exact head 24d1641f0f0e2371b941d843fe46a0376b0e069a.

RED reproduced the emitted class retaining @inject(loadSecret) after the named loadSecret import was removed. TSParameterProperty runtime traversal now visits its decorator nodes before the wrapped parameter, so both liveness and emitted-artifact verification retain imports referenced by legacy TypeScript parameter decorators.

This empty scope is populated only when traversal reaches the declaration, so an earlier shadowed read is incorrectly classified as a reference to the import; the server-only import and its transitive graph then remain in the browser artifact. Pre-bind direct lexical declarations from all cases before visiting any case.

The switch lexical-scope P1 is fixed at exact head cd9d2eab2b9617f76f5532af38756e8d71fc3e6d.

RED reproduced both affected positions:

an earlier case consequent was mistaken for a free import read when a later case declared the same const
an earlier case test was mistaken for a free import read when a later case declared the same let

The liveness walker now pre-binds direct declarations from every case into one switch scope before visiting any case, and case tests are visited in that scope. The server-only import is therefore removed while the switch-local identifiers remain intact.

Verification:

focused strip stage: 1 file, 117 steps passed
src/transforms/pipeline/ + src/build/bundler/: 32 files, 488 steps passed
changed-file deno fmt --check, deno lint, deno check, and git diff --check: passed
all actual review threads remain resolved

@codex review exact head cd9d2eab2b9617f76f5532af38756e8d71fc3e6d. Please recheck switch lexical pre-binding together with the prior TypeScript parameter-property, static-block, and hoisted-redeclaration fixes.

Liveness rewritten as reachability — `ec8b166d9`

A 50-probe adversarial pass found four more defects. They share one root cause, so I replaced the mechanism rather than patching the symptoms.

Root cause. dropUnusedModuleScopeBindings decided liveness per declaration — "is this name mentioned anywhere else?" — over direct top-level declarations only. Both halves of that are wrong: mention-counting cannot see a cycle (two hook-only helpers that call each other are each the other's last consumer, so neither is ever removable), and "direct top-level" misses every var that hoists into module scope out of a block.

Fix. Liveness is now reachability over the module's binding graph — nodes are every module-scope binding including hoisted vars; roots are what the module still reads once candidates are elided (surviving exports, the client component, and any side-effectful top-level statement, which keeps what it references); edges are genuine reads. Anything the roots cannot reach is dropped, cycles included. Candidacy stays scoped to the hooks' dependency closure — itself now grown over the same graph — so unrelated side-effectful init is still untouched.

Findings

#	Severity	Finding
1	Live, production	Mutually recursive hook-only helpers shipped whole with their imports. Secrets verified shipping verbatim in probes 09/10/19/20/38/39/47/48/50 — cycle lengths 2 and 3, function declarations, `const`/`let` arrows, object namespaces, class `extends` pairs, generator hooks, and a realistic page shape reaching `node:crypto`.
2	Live, production	Module-scope `var`s declared below the top level were never removal candidates. `if (globalThis.x) { var KEY = getEnv("SECRET") }` leaks whenever the enclosing statement is impure enough to survive on its own (probes 05–08, 24–26).
3	Dev-only	Statement labels and export-alias exported names counted as identifier reads, pinning `const KEY = getEnv("SECRET")` alive on a bare name collision (probes 11/13/37).
4	Latent, worst case	`export { loadIt as "getServerData" }` (ES2022 arbitrary module namespace name) did not match the hook matcher, so the module was reported as exporting no hook and passed through byte for byte — nothing stripped at all (probe 01). Now fail-closed, along with `export * as getServerData from "./loader"`.

Edge rules that fall out of the model

Not edges: statement labels, an export specifier's exported name, non-computed property and JSX attribute names, import.meta, and a declarator's reads of its own pattern's siblings (the existing fix, preserved). Decorators, by contrast, are edges and were not traversed at all — which hid a hook-side read and over-pruned in the other direction, dropping a module-scope value read only by a decorator on client code and breaking the client. Both directions are pinned.

New fail-closed cases

A hook exported under a string-literal name, or as a namespace re-export.
A dead binding declared by a for (var KEY of …) head: the binding is what the loop assigns to, so there is no declaration to cut out and the iterated value would remain either way. The build stops rather than shipping it.
The post-strip output check now counts hoisted vars as module bindings.

RED-GREEN

The new regressions were run against the pre-rewrite implementation with the new tests in place: 18 steps fail, and all pass after. The failures are exactly the four families above plus the two decorator directions.

Verification

Strip stage suite: 1 passed (136 steps), 0 failed — every pre-existing regression unchanged, including the over-pruning negatives (nested-function var, static-block var, let shadowing, self-recursion, client-referenced helpers) and all fail-closed guards.
Probe corpus rerun (50 cases, dev + production, compile → strip): all four target families clean in both modes. The remaining non-clean cases are pre-existing and out of scope: export default { getServerData: … } (a property key, so mod.getServerData does not exist), and two where a surviving side-effectful top-level statement references the secret (Object.defineProperty(box, "run", …), and esbuild's lowered decorator call) — kept by construction, now documented in the file header.
src/transforms/pipeline/ + src/build/bundler/: 32 passed (507 steps), 0 failed. Lint, fmt --check, and deno check clean. Server builds untouched.

Rebased onto cd9d2eab2; the parameter-property decorator fix from the parallel session composes with the class/method decorator handling here (I folded its inline loop into the shared helper). Remaining known boundary, unchanged: eval is documented-only.

Traverse class-method decorators before dropping imports

When a surviving client class reads a hook-only import from a method decorator, such as @decorate(loadSecret) render() {}, this branch visits only the computed key and function internals, skipping node.decorators. After the server hook is stripped, import liveness therefore removes loadSecret, leaving the emitted decorator with an unresolved binding; the residual verifier uses the same traversal and does not catch it.

1586-1710: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Consider migrating ServerExportStripError to the VeryfrontError registry.

This block adds six new throw sites for ServerExportStripError, which extends Error directly. The repository error contract requires typed errors defined with defineError and matched with instanceof VeryfrontError plus a slug. A slug also lets the tests assert the specific failure mode instead of matching message substrings, which currently only check that the message contains getServerData, reassigned, or redeclared.

The class predates this PR, so this is a follow-up rather than a blocker for the stripping logic itself.

As per coding guidelines: "Define typed errors with the VeryfrontError registry pattern using defineError, and match them with instanceof VeryfrontError plus the expected slug."

The runtime-TypeScript follow-up is fixed at exact head edf1a3d71dc644cdadf07ab0aa0715a9f9c31d08.

Reviewing the new reachability rewrite found three related executable TypeScript gaps:

A hook-only runtime enum or namespace was not a graph binding, so it survived with its server initializer.
A client-used enum or namespace initializer was skipped as type-only, so its live import could be removed and leave a browser ReferenceError.
A hook-only import crypto = require("node:crypto") declaration was never an import-pruning candidate.

RED reproduced five enum/namespace failures and one import-equals failure. Runtime enums, namespaces, and value import-equals declarations are now ordinary module binding sites. Their runtime initializers and entity references participate in reachability, their type-only and ambient counterparts remain ignored, client-reachable declarations retain their imports, and hook-only declarations are removed.

Verification:

CodeRabbit's two nitpicks are addressed at exact head 562655f8a537b1cbf69107144a34a586fbfc2497.

Added focused coverage proving JSX attribute names are not binding reads, JSX member expressions read their object but not their property, and import.meta names are not binding reads.
The focused strip suite now passes 146 steps. The broader transform and bundler matrix passes 32 files and 517 steps. Changed-file format, lint, type-check, and diff checks pass.
I am not migrating ServerExportStripError in this PR. The review marks that as a non-blocking follow-up, the class predates this change, and changing the repository error contract would expand a narrowly scoped security fix. Existing error text and behavior remain compatible.

The earlier Codex class-method decorator finding is also fixed in the current reachability implementation: method decorators are visited explicitly, and the focused suite pins both hook-side decorator reads and client-side decorator liveness.

@codex review exact head 562655f8a537b1cbf69107144a34a586fbfc2497. Please recheck the runtime TypeScript binding support and the added reference-classification coverage together with the prior decorator, cycle, hoisted-var, and output-verification fixes.

Follow inherited static getter returns

When a derived class inherits a static getter, for example class Base { static get make() { return mutator; } } class Owner extends Base {}; Owner.make(Object), JavaScript invokes the getter and then calls mutator with Object. This lookup inspects only Owner's own class body and never follows superClass, so the mutator parameter remains classified as local and an observable compiler-name registration can be stripped after the intrinsic mutation. Resolve inherited static members, including getter return values.

Continue past a setter paired with the getter

When an object declares get make() { return mutator; } followed by set make(value) {}, JavaScript combines both accessors, so reading owner.make still returns mutator. This branch instead treats the setter as the callable value and the certain-key return stops before the getter, leaving the mutator parameter unmarked and stripping the observable registration and server dependency. The static ClassMethod branch has the same behavior. Preserve the paired getter when resolving a read and add focused object and class regressions.

Invalidate definite own members after deletion

When a concrete own member is deleted before the read, such as const owner = { __proto__: base, make: safe }; delete owner.make; owner.make(Object), runtime lookup reaches the inherited mutating getter. The unconditional return for the own declaration ignores that deletion, so the transform resolves only safe, misses the intrinsic mutation, and removes the observable registration and its server dependency. Track member deletions or conservatively continue into the prototype after a matching delete, with a focused regression.

Resolve super member calls through the enclosing heritage

For class Base { static make() { return mutator; } } class Owner extends Base { static factory() { return super.make(); } } Owner.factory()(Object), the direct heritage traversal here works only when the read owner is a class node. Resolving the return inside factory instead encounters a Super owner with no mapping to Owner.superClass, so mutator is never reached and the subsequent observable registration and server dependency are stripped. Resolve super member reads against the enclosing class heritage and add a focused regression.

Bound members returned from block-bodied factories

When each computed write key is wrapped in a synchronous block-bodied IIFE, such as owner[(() => { return owner.key; })()] = safeFactory, this short-circuit is bypassed because the CallExpression branch invokes concreteValues(). Resolving the returned owner.key then checks every remaining computed flow; the traversal guard prevents cycles but still explores their permutations, so a module with several such writes retains the factorial CPU behavior this commit intends to remove. Treat incomplete member-valued call returns as unresolved before re-entering the member-flow graph, and cover this wrapper with the bounded-time regression.

Preserve known values from incomplete member keys

For const base = { get make() { return mutator; } }, owner = { __proto__: base, key: "make" }; owner[owner.key](Object), this return discards the concrete "make" value that the previous resolver retained. The conservative fallback enumerates only the owner's own keys and spreads, not its prototype, so it never synthesizes owner.make; consequently mutator is not recognized as receiving Object, and the observable name registration and its server dependency can be stripped even though the inherited getter runs at runtime. Preserve cheaply resolved member strings while marking the result incomplete, or include inherited members in the fallback, with a focused regression.

Merge-gate audit at exact head d4efcce5e724efe72f31115b97aa5afe7494afbf: current with main, mergeable, 27 checks successful, 6 skipped by design, 0 pending, 0 failed, exact-head Codex review complete with no findings, and 0 unresolved review threads. I am intentionally not merging. Confidence remains below the required 90% because this is an 80-commit, roughly 10k-line security-critical aggregate and repeated exact-head rounds continued to uncover real correctness and performance defects, including a factorial computed-key path found after the previous clean review. It needs human architectural review and likely decomposition before landing.

A `__name(loadUser, "loadUser")` registration that the pass cannot prove is compiler metadata stayed a live browser read of its target. The hook-only declaration behind it was never removed, and `dropUnusedImportBindings` kept its import, so the module's server import chain and its secret initialiser survived into the browser artifact. `removedNames` cannot backstop this: nothing was selected for removal, so the fail-closed scan stayed silent. Recognition failure is now decoupled from retention. When the intrinsic proof is blocked, the pass asks what the same module would drop if the registration were metadata. Anything that appears only there is a server-only binding it would be retaining, and the build stops with the construct that blocked the proof and the fix for it. Both conditions are required. A module that defeats the proof without a hook-only registration builds exactly as before.

kojiwakayama · 2026-08-18T06:03:19Z

Step 1 landed: recognition failure no longer retains the server chain

Pushed as 991e3096b. This is step 1 from veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#112 (comment 5324021437): decouple compiler-metadata recognition failure from server-chain retention. Step 2 (extending the allowlist to the call surface) is deliberately not in this change.

What I found first: the five reported shapes no longer reproduce

Before changing anything I rebuilt the reproduction harness from comment 5321819912 and ran it against the real stripServerOnlyExports. At the current head the five shapes are clean. To prove the harness was faithful rather than broken, I ran the identical harness against the bdb09645c copy of the stage file, and it reproduced the reported table exactly.

So the intervening commits (f8fe5bee6 narrow intrinsic reflection routes and the hasReflectionRoute rework around it) already fixed the five triggers.

But the coupling itself was still open

Narrowing the trigger set is not the same as decoupling. compilerNameHelperBindings still returned the empty set on any unproven module, and the empty set still meant retention. Two shapes still silently shipped the server import and the secret at d4efcce5e:

client line	main (`a31139bbe`)	PR (`bdb09645c`)	this change (`991e3096b`)
`typeof v === "object"` (baseline)	false / false	false / false	false / false

Measured as serverImportRetained / secretRetained. No row retains any more: every shape is either stripped or stops the build. That is the property the stage needs, and it is what the removedNames verifier structurally cannot check, since over-retention never enters removedNames.

What the change does

When the intrinsic proof is blocked, the pass now asks a second question: what would this module drop if the registration were metadata? Anything that appears only in that answer is a server-only binding the pass would be retaining, so the build stops.

Both conditions are required, as specified. A module that defeats the proof but has no hook-only registration builds exactly as before, and so does one whose registration target the browser still reads. Both are covered by tests.

The error names the construct and the fix:

Cannot remove the server-only export from pages/orders.tsx before it is sent to the browser: API_KEY is a server-only binding kept alive by a compiler name registration this pass cannot verify, because the module declares a module-scope binding named Object. Move the code that reaches or rewrites the Object intrinsic into a module that does not export a server data hook, so the client build can prove the name registration is compiler metadata and remove the server-only binding.

It reuses ServerExportStripError and the REMEDY table via the existing Blocker path, with a new REMEDY.separateTheIntrinsicUse entry. The server-export-strip-failed catalog entry gains a step and a tip for this class.

Blast radius, measured rather than assumed

Ran the real stage over every file in this repository, comparing the pre-change and post-change stage side by side:

	count
files scanned	6019
mention a server data hook	54
newly failing the build	0
already failing before this change	0

Zero. The claim that this error essentially never fires holds on the measured population.

What did change: 133 existing test cases

133 existing cases across 52 assertion sites asserted the retention directly, in the form:

assertStringIncludes(result, `setName(loadSecret, "loadSecret")`);
assertStringIncludes(result, `const KEY = getEnv("SECRET_KEY")`);

That second line is the leak. Those cases now assert the build fails instead, through one shared helper. The property they were actually guarding, that an observable registration is never deleted, is preserved: nothing is emitted at all.

What this does not fix

Being explicit, because these are real and out of scope here:

Recognition can still fail at the per-binding stage, and that still retains silently. When the intrinsic is provably clean but the helper binding itself is unprovable (reassigned, multiply initialised, hoisted redeclaration, a dynamic Object[key], an effectful name descriptor, a shadowed local Object), blockedBy is null and there is no candidate registration to compare against, so the old retention behaviour stands. Ten sites still assert it, unchanged. Closing this needs a notion of "__name-shaped but unprovable" for the helper itself, which is the call-surface allowlist question, so it belongs with step 2 rather than here.
The six open bot threads are untouched by this change. They anchor at lines 3287, 3756, 3765 and 3828, in the member-flow and intrinsic-route analysis, outside this diff. They also point the other way: they describe tampering the analysis fails to detect, so a registration is wrongly accepted and an observable call is deleted. This change alters only the blocked-proof path.
Step 2 is not attempted. Now that a failed recognition stops the build instead of leaking, the cost of over-rejection is a build error rather than a retained server chain, which is the precondition the issue set for taking that decision.

Verification

Stage suite: 422 steps, green.
src/transforms/ 2897 steps, src/build/ 861 steps, src/errors/ 517 steps, src/data/ plus tests/integration/data/ 369 steps: all green.
deno fmt, deno lint, deno check clean on all touched files.
CI on 991e3096b: 28 passing, 0 failing, 6 skipped.
tests/docs/ has one failure, Guide: runs.mdx should create a task run and read canonical events. I confirmed it fails identically at d4efcce5e with my changes stashed, so it is pre-existing and unrelated.

Process note

The branch head was stable at d4efcce5e for this whole session and I pushed onto it without a rebase. bdb09645c is not an ancestor of the current head, so the branch was rewritten since that review.

Split executed: part A is now #3846

Per the decision recorded at veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#112 (comment 5324205750), this PR has been split. Please do not merge this PR as it stands.

Part A: #3846, open and standalone

The first 31 commits of this branch, ending at the tree of 865419589, cherry-picked onto current main unchanged. Two files, +3,511 / -261. That is the work #112 actually asked for: the destructured-server-value leak and the DCE hardening.

Verified independently before opening:

stage suite at that tree: 22 passed (406 steps), 0 failed
deno fmt --check and deno lint clean
main has not touched this stage since the merge base, so the cherry-pick applied with zero conflicts

Part B: the intrinsic-tampering analysis, parked

The remaining 50 commits (+7,117 / -405 across 11 files) build an analysis that tries to prove a module has not replaced Object.defineProperty, so keepNames registrations can be pruned safely. That is parked pending the spike described on #112: moving browserServerExportsStripPlugin ahead of compilePlugin in BROWSER_PIPELINE. If the spike holds, most of that half becomes unnecessary rather than needing another review round.

Why part B should not merge in its current state

Three independent verifiers reviewed head 991e3096b and scored it 5 / 78 / 8. Reproduced against the real stage:

Net new silent leak versus main. For a keepNames module whose __name helper is reassigned, or declared twice, main and the part-A tree both strip correctly, while this branch emits the module with import { db } from "../lib/server/db.ts" and const API_KEY = getEnv("ORDERS_SECRET") retained. This is the same defect class the PR set out to close.

The new fail-closed gate is bypassable inside its own stage. Adding a single statement, let holder; holder = loadUser;, to the PR's own new must-fail fixture makes the build succeed and ship the secret again. The gate proves "an unprovable registration is the only thing keeping this binding alive", which is strictly narrower than "nothing is leaking".

Five ordinary user-source shapes still leak end to end through the real runPipeline browser path: a direct Object.defineProperty(loadUser, "name", ...), a user-authored setName that is later reassigned, a registration guarded by if (globalThis.DEV), a get: descriptor instead of value:, and a three-parameter helper.

The impact measurement is vacuous. "6019 files scanned, 54 mention a server data hook, 0 newly failing" was reproduced faithfully, then instrumented: 0 of those 54 actually reach the analysis. All 54 are test files, catalog strings, docs and type declarations containing the substring. Sample size for the measured property is zero, so that number should not be read as evidence.

Confirmed for the record, and genuinely reassuring: across 74 shapes tested on the compiled path, newly-failing corresponds 1:1 with previously-leaking. Nothing went from correctly-stripped to build failure. e.constructor.name, isPlainObject, instanceof Function, typeof eval, all Reflect.* and decorators do not fire.

Still open here

Six unresolved threads from chatgpt-codex-connector, all anchored in the part-B half, including a P1: a computed write key wrapped in a synchronous block-bodied IIFE bypasses the short-circuit added in d4efcce5e, so the factorial CPU behaviour that commit intended to remove still fires. That is a build-time CPU blowup in a stage that runs on every browser module.

One process note worth flagging: bdb09645c, the head against which the earlier reproduction table was measured, is no longer an ancestor of this branch after 15 force-pushes, so that evidence cannot be re-derived from the branch history.

@Inject

Only a `TSParameterProperty` had its decorators traversed, but Babel hangs a parameter decorator off the pattern itself — a plain `Identifier`, an `AssignmentPattern` or a destructuring pattern — whenever the parameter is not also a property. `constructor(@Inject(loadSecret) value)` on surviving client code therefore read nothing the graph could see, so a hook that shared the import took it down: the emitted artifact reduced `import { inject, loadSecret } from "./di.ts"` to a bare side-effect import and left the decorator unresolved. The fail-closed output check agreed the bindings were gone, because it scans with the same reference model. Decorators are read on every pattern the traversal reaches now. Reported in review on PR #3825.

Freeze request: no further intrinsic-tampering commits pending the reorder

Recording a decision so it is not relitigated per session.

Do not add further intrinsic-tampering analysis to browser-server-exports-strip.ts on this PR, on #3846, or on any branch, until the reorder question on veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#112 is settled.

Why

Two independent reasons, both measured rather than argued.

1. The analysis is likely unnecessary. BROWSER_PIPELINE runs parse -> compile -> cssStrip -> browserServerExportsStrip, and compile.ts:97 sets keepNames: true. The __name(fn, "fn") registrations the analysis exists to recognise are produced by Veryfront's own compile stage, one position earlier in the same pipeline. The pass is reverse-engineering its own predecessor's output.

The comment justifying it ("Release modules are compiled before the browser transform") is factually wrong: both release paths in src/release-assets/build-executor.ts transform uncompiled source, no framework module exports a server hook, and the other caller (code-splitter/esbuild-plugin.ts:63) is already pre-compile in production. Deadness was confirmed empirically: neutering compilerNameHelperBindings to return an empty set leaves the reordered suite green except one unit test that hand-feeds it synthetic compiled source.

Estimated ~7,000 lines become unnecessary after the reorder, roughly 3,268 of 5,900 stage lines and 126 of 277 test blocks.

2. The threat model does not hold. The analysis defends against a module that has replaced Object.defineProperty. This stage only ever sees the tenant's own project source: node_modules and out-of-project paths are excluded, and no framework module carries a hook. The adversary would be the tenant, sabotaging their own build, to leak their own secrets, into their own browser bundle.

The evidence that this is an undecidable analysis, not an incomplete one

15+ review rounds, a real defect found in every one, 21 shapes still open. After #3825 was split, the loop followed the code into #3846 and produced 4 more P2s within two hours. That cadence is the signature of undecidability, and no amount of further rounds converges.

What is NOT frozen

The destructuring support. Nested object, array, rest, computed key and sibling-default patterns leak on main today in both pipeline orderings. That is the real fix and it should land.
Reachability-model correctness (scope modelling, deferred execution, binding sites). Those survive the reorder and are worth fixing.
The reorder work itself: the TS reference-classification pass and the MDX parser fix.

Next step

Build the TS reference-classification pass (skip erased type nodes, do not skip value-emitting TS nodes such as TSEnumDeclaration, TSModuleDeclaration with a body, TSParameterProperty, TSImportEqualsDeclaration, TSExportAssignment), applied consistently to BOTH referencedIdentifiers() and freeReferencedIdentifiers(), plus the 7-line parseablePath MDX fix. Then reorder and delete. Full repo suite before shipping: no existing test caught the MDX break or any of the four pre-compile leaks the spike challengers found.

Reconciles the reachability rewrite with main's #3849 TypeScript reference classification. The branch keeps its single scope-aware walker; main's authored-TypeScript semantics are ported into it rather than reinstating the flat walker: - declare forms (const/function/class/enum/namespace) are erased and read nothing, except decorated declared members, whose decorators still emit a runtime __decorate call - export type { } clauses and inline type-only export specifiers no longer read their local binding - export = handler counts its operand as a runtime read - type-only import specifiers are no longer runtime bindings, so a mixed value/type import whose value bindings were hook-owned is deleted instead of being reduced to a bare side-effect import - moduleReferenceWalkers is exported for the walker-classification tests; both answers are the single walker's answer All #3849 tests are retained. One assertion documenting the old flat walker's conservative over-approximation now expects the precise answer, because that walker no longer exists.

kojiwakayama · 2026-08-18T17:35:33Z

Merged current main at exact head 88328799a, resolving the conflict with #3849 (TypeScript reference classification).

How the conflict was resolved. This branch replaced the two reference walkers with a single scope-aware walker, so #3849's classification was ported into that walker rather than reinstating the flat one:

declare forms (const/function/class/enum/namespace) are erased and read nothing; decorated declared members still read their decorators, which emit a runtime __decorate call
export type { } clauses and inline type-only export specifiers no longer read their local binding
export = handler counts its operand as a runtime read
type-only import specifiers are no longer runtime bindings, so a mixed value/type import whose value bindings were hook-owned is deleted instead of being reduced to a bare side-effect import
moduleReferenceWalkers is exported for the classification tests; both answers are the single walker's answer

Every #3849 test is retained and passes. One assertion (treats runtime TypeScript declaration names as bindings, not reads) documented the old flat walker's conservative over-approximation (referenced = ["Level", "Runtime"]); with one walker the precise answer [] holds for both, which is strictly tighter in the safe direction. The scope-aware expectation (free = []) is unchanged.

Verification (Deno 2.7.7, the CI pin):

focused strip stage: 1 file, 464 steps passed
src/transforms/pipeline/ + src/build/bundler/: 32 files, 836 steps passed
deno task typecheck, anti-slop audit, deno lint, deno fmt --check: pass
full pre-push suite passed on push

This PR remains human-gated and is not queued for merge.

Closing — superseded by its own decomposition

Closing this on Koji's instruction, after a 2026-08-19 review of the triage record on veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#605.

This is decomposition succeeding, not the work being abandoned. The reviewable halves of this branch already exist as separate, mergeable PRs:

fix(transforms): close four residual destructuring leak shapes (tracked by #605) #3846 — close the destructured server-value leak (part A) — OPEN, MERGEABLE, no failing checks
fix(transforms)!: run the browser server-exports strip before compile #3855 — run the browser server-exports strip before compile — OPEN (draft), MERGEABLE

This branch is CONFLICTING, 82 commits ahead of main, and +10,498/-745 across 11 files — ~10.3k of which sit in two files, the strip stage and its test. It stayed below the merge-confidence bar for exactly that reason: green CI plus resolved threads is not a sufficient review standard for security-critical transform code at this size.

Why the esbuild premise it was opened against does not hold

The originating issue proposed retiring the hand-rolled strip in favour of esbuild's tree-shaker. Measured against this pipeline, that cannot deliver:

input	esbuild transform-mode result
`const A = "lit"` + unused import	both dropped ✅
`const API_KEY = getEnv("SECRET_KEY")` + `import { getEnv }`	both kept ❌
same with `/* @__PURE__ */`	decl dropped, import still kept ❌
`const { a } = /* @__PURE__ */ getEnv("X")`	everything kept ❌

The pipeline runs esbuild in transform mode (compile.ts:87-97), where there is no module graph and a call-initialised module-scope secret is never provably pure — as browser-server-exports-strip.ts:14-16 already documented. Only the unused-imports third was ever delegable.

⚠️ What must not be lost when this closes

The destructured server-value leak is live on main. It is pinned as a documented limitation at browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts:761-777, and it was widely believed fixed — 30849d254 carries the message suffix (#3846) but exists only on origin/gh-readonly-queue/main/pr-3846-…, a merge-queue branch that fell out. It is not an ancestor of main.

The leak is now tracked as veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#607.
fix(transforms): close four residual destructuring leak shapes (tracked by #605) #3846 is the fix and it is unapproved — 200+ COMMENTED reviews, empty reviewDecision. It did not fail; nobody approved it and nobody re-queued it.
fix(transforms): close four residual destructuring leak shapes (tracked by #605) #3846 also carries the deferredExecutionNodes / invokedChild classifier, so veryfront/veryfront-issue-inbox#553 (.call/.apply/.bind IIFEs misclassified as deferred) becomes reachable on main when fix(transforms): close four residual destructuring leak shapes (tracked by #605) #3846 lands. That issue stays open and is now blocked on fix(transforms): close four residual destructuring leak shapes (tracked by #605) #3846, not on this PR.

Nothing in the hand-rolled pass is in question: it works, fails safe (ServerExportStripError rather than a silent leak), and is fully green on main at 1,384 lines.

If #3846 proves too large to review as-is, the smaller path recorded on #607 is to extend moduleScopeDeclarations to safe destructuring patterns — a fraction of this branch.
