Summary

This closes more of the gzip gap between webpack's CSS minifier and lightningcss.

  • License comments: CSS and HTML assets now move license comments into [file].LICENSE.txt, as JavaScript already does. This adds optimization.minimize.css.extractComments and optimization.minimize.html.extractComments.
    • Both take terser's values, or a ({ value, line, col }) => boolean predicate. Line and column come from the parser's LocConverter.
    • The default true takes /*! comments and those containing @preserve or @lic. IE's @cc_on is left alone, and HTML never takes conditional comments, SSI or <?…?>.
    • HTML writes its banner as <!-- … --> at the end of the document, so the doctype stays first. This needs minimizer-webpack-plugin 5.13.0 (feat: let a minify function format and place the extractComments banner minimizer-webpack-plugin#752), and this PR bumps the dependency.
  • Gradients and shadows: shorter gradient directions, default positions and colors, and shorter shadow colors.

Before/after on the 31 stylesheets in tooling/compare-css-tools.js, minified by main and by this branch:

minified gzip
main 7,052,328 913,308
branch 7,031,759 907,359
<!-- before: the plugin's /*! … */ banner would be text before the doctype -->
<!-- after -->
<!doctype html>…<!-- For license information please see page.html.LICENSE.txt -->

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

feat

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes:

  • test/configCases/css/minimize-extract-comments{,-options}
  • test/configCases/html/minimize-extract-comments{,-options}
  • unit tests in test/unitCases/CssSyntax.unittest.js and HtmlSyntax.unittest.js
  • gradient and shadow cases in the CSS syntax tests

Config cases that check exact comment output set extractComments: false.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No API break. With minimization on, license comments now move out of .css and .html assets by default, as they already do for JavaScript. extractComments: false keeps them in place.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

The two extractComments options are described in the schema, types.d.ts and the CLI. The docs site needs entries for them.

Use of AI

Written with Claude Code at the author's direction. The author chose the design: CSS- and HTML-only options with the { value, line, col } predicate, the banner at the end for HTML, and leaving IE comments alone. Claude implemented it, wrote the tests, measured the sizes and ran the tests and lint.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • CSS and HTML minimization can move selected comments into a separate license file and add a reference banner to the minimized asset. Comment selection supports common matching rules and predicates that can use comment text, line, and column.
    • CSS output is further shortened by simplifying gradient directions and default positions, reducing eligible shadow values, and shortening named colors in gradients.
    • HTML conditional comments remain in the minimized output and are not extracted.

…and shadows

minimize.css.extractComments and minimize.html.extractComments take
terser's values and a { value, line, col } predicate, moving license
comments into [file].LICENSE.txt; HTML writes its banner as <!-- … -->
at the end of the document. CSS gradient directions, positions and
colors, and shadow colors, are written shorter.
Its formatBanner and getBannerPosition helpers let htmlMinify write the
extracted comments' banner as <!-- … --> at the end of the document.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds configurable comment extraction for CSS and HTML assets, including source-location predicates and license-file output. It also adds CSS gradient and shadow minification rewrites, with related generated data and tests.

CSS minification applies configured extraction predicates and excludes source-map pragmas. Tests check extracted comments, license-file contents, option selection, and existing configurations with extraction disabled.
HTML extraction and validation
lib/html/htmlMinify.js, test/configCases/html/minimize-extract-comments*/*, test/unitCases/HtmlSyntax.unittest.js
HTML minification extracts selected top-level comments, formats an HTML banner at the end, and preserves comments in nested documents. Tests cover selectors, source positions, retained comments, and license-file output.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 97107

The new HTML license banner does not protect against comment-closing sequences in its text. If a build accepts less-trusted asset names, those names could introduce active markup into generated pages. The risk is conditional: HTML minification and extraction must run, and exploitation depends on control over names and how the pages are served.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The new HTML banner formatter treats filename-derived text as safe HTML-comment content. A --> sequence terminates the wrapper, allowing subsequent markup to become part of the emitted page. The downstream plugin supplies a filename-derived default banner, and the HTML asset filter does not reject comment delimiters. Exploitation requires control over relevant asset-name text, a selected comment, enabled extraction, and delivery of the result as HTML. The base HTML minifier did not emit this banner.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified exposure is generated HTML whose banner includes attacker-influenced name text. If delivered as HTML, injected markup could act under the page's serving origin, subject to browser and CSP controls. Evidence does not establish affected deployments, tenant boundaries, credentials, or execution within build workers.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The conditional attack path is name text containing --> and subsequent active markup, then a filename-derived license reference, then raw HTML-comment formatting and concatenation into the page. It requires extraction to produce comments. Ordinary license-comment contents alone do not follow this path; control of trusted build configuration is also not, by itself, a privilege escalation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Existing dispatch requires the relevant experiment, respects assets claimed by another minimizer, and scopes CSS and HTML options separately. The HTML filename filter checks extension but does not exclude HTML-comment delimiters. The new serialization boundary therefore needs a stronger text-to-comment invariant than asset-type selection provides.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Extraction collection is invocation-local, and the downstream consumer deduplicates merged license contents and excludes generated extracted assets from subsequent minimization. Formatter exceptions use the existing per-asset failure path, providing a containment point for a validating formatter.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Make HTML banner formatting enforce inert comment text for every input, including filename-derived references and configured strings. Reject or safely transform comment-breaking sequences before concatenation, using the existing formatter-error containment path when valid serialization is impossible.

Generated code size

Comparing base (b17fa7d) to head (971074c). Merging this pull request changes the size of 96 asset(s) whose tests it leaves untouched, moves 1 asset(s) whose tests it edits too and adds 14 new asset(s).

What moved Tests Assets Gzip Raw Test edit
Changed, test untouched 32 96 🟢 ↓ -103 B 🟢 ↓ -520 B —
Changed, test edited 1 1 🔴 ↑ +221 B 🔴 ↑ +1.05 KiB 🔴 ↑ +1.33 KiB
New 5 14 ⚪ added +1.49 KiB ⚪ added +1.49 KiB —
Deleted 0 0 — — —
Unchanged — 8216 — — —

Read Changed, test untouched first: the test is byte-identical on both sides, so webpack generated the difference. Changed, test edited moved partly because the test did — Test edit is how many bytes the test gained, and a bundle that grew by less is not a regression. New and Deleted are whole files, not deltas — a new asset was created, not grown, so it reads gray (⚪ added) — and adding tests cannot bury a real change. Gzip decides, because that is what users download; raw is the tiebreak, and brotli and zstd are per asset below.

layer’s required lengths and color count before removing currentcolor. Keep
invalid layers unchanged so a layer such as `0 0 red currentcolor` cannot become
a valid shadow after default-color removal.

Comment thread test/helpers/syntaxEquivalence.js
…eclarations

Its types import webpack's own types.d.ts, so naming them in cssMinify,
htmlMinify or util.extractComments made every class appear twice to the
generator, which renamed them all. The plugin's extractComments is now
typed by what these minifiers read of it.
Dropping currentcolor or trailing zeros from a layer with two colors, too
many lengths, or lengths a color parts made a declaration the engine drops
valid. SHADOW_PROPERTIES now carries the grammar's length range, and the
rewrite runs only over layers already in shape. The equivalence helper's
gradient step also leaves strings and url() bodies alone.
