Description

Closes the residual browser server-value escape paths tracked in private inbox issue #607.

  • Classifies destructuring binding positions separately from evaluated/default/computed positions.
  • Prunes only known framework or server-source initializers with static, side-effect-free arguments.
  • Rejects ambiguous defaults, computed keys, unknown syntax, and side-effecting initializers with the existing server-only-in-client diagnostic and a copyable server-hook rewrite.
  • Makes the decision per declarator, so an unrelated hazardous co-declarator cannot pin removable server values while real cross-declarator references remain live.
  • Preserves client-live siblings and existing ordinary server-value pruning.

The safety boundary is deliberate: this does not attempt a general JavaScript purity proof. Unknown or ambiguous cases fail closed instead of leaking a value or deleting runtime behavior.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of server-only imports and destructured bindings in browser code.
    • Safely removes server-only dependencies when their usage is unambiguous.
    • Preserves client-side sibling initializers during transformation.
    • Reports stable errors for ambiguous or unsafe server-only browser usage.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for nested, aliased, namespace, rest, computed, and default destructuring patterns.
    • Added pipeline-level coverage for safe removal and boundary error handling.

Classify binding positions separately from evaluated pattern positions, prune declarations only for trusted browser-droppable initializer sources, and fail the browser build when safe removal cannot be proved.

Constraint: Preserve arbitrary project-local client initialization and client-live sibling bindings.
Rejected: Relax every-in-closure globally | deletes unproven initializer side effects.
Rejected: Statement-wide pattern eligibility | unrelated hazardous co-declarators pin removable server values.
Rejected: General JavaScript purity analysis | too broad for this transform boundary.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Keep unknown pattern syntax and effectful initializer arguments on the fail-closed path.
Tested: Deno 2.7.7 focused stage test (165 steps), full transforms suite (161 suites, 2674 steps), fmt, lint, check.
Not-tested: Full repository unit and integration suites before the commit hook.

📦 Client bundle boundary

Entrypoint Modules Source size Server leaks
src/index.client.ts 327 1960 KiB ✅ 0

A server module in a client graph aborts hydration in the browser. New leaks fail CI; known leaks are tracked in scripts/lint/client-bundle-baseline.json to burn down.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The browser export stripping stage now analyzes binding patterns, classifies destructuring hazards, removes safe server-only declarations, and raises stable server-only-in-client errors for ambiguous cases. Tests cover nested patterns, imports, initializer safety, liveness, and pipeline behavior.

Changes

Browser server export stripping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Binding-pattern analysis
src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.ts, src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts
The stage now records bindings, possible names, and hazards for nested, renamed, rest, default, computed, and unknown patterns. Tests use the exported internal analysis seam.
Declaration and import disposition
src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.ts, src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts
Module-scope analysis separates ordinary and destructured declarations, recognizes trusted server initializers and droppable imports, and rejects ambiguous server-related destructuring.
Safe pruning and pipeline validation
src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.ts, src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.test.ts
Pruning considers client references, hook closure, pinned names, and trusted initializers. Pipeline tests verify safe removal and stable VeryfrontError handling.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4a249

The transform now rejects ambiguous or side-effecting destructuring instead of pruning it, reducing the chance of server values reaching browser code while preserving valid siblings. Remaining concerns are limited to diagnostic detail and a non-functional optimization, so no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks.

1713-1713: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Hoist knownServerImportBindings out of the fixed-point loop.

dropUnusedModuleScopeBindings never removes import statements. It only filters module-scope declarations and declarators. The trusted binding set therefore cannot change between iterations. Compute it once before the loop to avoid re-walking every statement on each pass.

♻️ Proposed hoist
   let current = body;
+  const trustedBindings = knownServerImportBindings(body);
 
   for (;;) {
     const referenced = referencedIdentifiers(current, excluded);
-    const trustedBindings = knownServerImportBindings(current);
     const destructuringDecisions = new Map<Node, DestructuringDisposition>();

Comment thread src/transforms/pipeline/stages/browser-server-exports-strip.ts Outdated
Ambiguous destructuring already failed closed, but its diagnostic did not identify the module or bindings that need relocation. Add that context and avoid recomputing the immutable trusted-import set on each pruning iteration.

Constraint: Preserve the stable server-only-in-client slug and existing remediation example.

Rejected: Add blanket docstrings to touched internals | repository checks do not require them and they would add noise without clarifying the policy boundary.

Confidence: high

Scope-risk: narrow

Directive: Keep trusted import collection outside this loop only while this pass does not mutate imports.

Tested: Focused transform suite 165 steps; full transform suite 161 suites and 2674 steps; fmt, lint, and typecheck on touched files.

Not-tested: Full repository suite before commit; pre-push gate will run before publishing.
