Fixes #44639.

What does this PR do?

filter and backdrop-filter were never typed properties. effects.zig was stubbed when the CSS parser was written (#14122), the property entries were commented out (// const FilterList = effects.FilterList;), the stub was later removed as dead code (#31254, #33925), and FallbackHandler still carries // filter: Option<usize> under "not implemented yet". Both properties went through as unparsed token lists, so a modern color inside drop-shadow() was printed as written:

.a { filter: drop-shadow(1px 1px 1px oklch(25% .05 30 / .5)) }
/* main, default browser targets: */
.a { filter: drop-shadow(1px 1px 1px oklch(25% .05 30 / .5)) }

Every browser in the default targets predates oklch(), so they drop the whole declaration and the shadow disappears, while the same color in box-shadow or text-shadow is lowered.

This ports lightningcss's properties/effects.rs (Filter, DropShadow, FilterList), in the shape of box_shadow.rs:

• src/css/properties/effects.rs: parse, print, deep_clone, eql, and get_fallbacks, which emits RGB and P3 fallbacks for any drop-shadow() color that needs them and lowers the value itself to LAB, the same scheme as get_fallbacks_text_shadow.
• properties_generated.rs: Filter((FilterList, VendorPrefix)) and BackdropFilter((FilterList, VendorPrefix)), prefixed NONE | WEBKIT, at the 14 sites BoxShadow occupies. PrefixFeature::Filter and BackdropFilter already existed.
• prefix_handler.rs: the two fields, a handle_prefixed! arm (the prefixed branch of lightningcss's define_fallbacks!), and the match_unparsed_prefixed! arm the existing comment was holding a place for, so filter: var(--x) also gets -webkit-filter for old targets.

After:

.foo { filter: blur(1px) drop-shadow(0 0 2px oklch(25% .05 30)) }
/* chrome 90: */
.foo {
  filter: blur(1px) drop-shadow(0 0 2px #361713);
  filter: blur(1px) drop-shadow(0 0 2px lab(12.5482% 15.1914 10.4048));
}

Two output changes ride along:

• Minification drops the space between filter functions: contrast(175%) brightness(3%) to contrast(175%)brightness(3%), as lightningcss does.
• Old targets get -webkit-filter / -webkit-backdrop-filter.

Default arguments are printed rather than dropped, which is where this departs from lightningcss: brightness(100%) stays brightness(100%), and an omitted one is filled in (blur() to blur(0), hue-rotate() to hue-rotate(0deg)). lightningcss strips them, but older engines read an empty argument list inconsistently and CEF 49 crashes on -webkit-filter: brightness() (parcel-bundler/lightningcss#251; parcel-bundler/lightningcss#1121 proposes the same change there). The bytes saved weren't worth that risk.

Three handler cases differ from lightningcss on purpose, since its define_fallbacks! loses a declaration in each:

• FilterList::is_compatible checks drop-shadow() colors and lengths (lightningcss returns true), so filter: blur(1px); filter: drop-shadow(... oklch()) keeps blur(1px) as the fallback, the same as color and text-shadow do. lightningcss outputs only the oklch() filter.
• A later declaration with fewer prefixes no longer overwrites the tracked one: filter: blur(1px); -webkit-filter: blur(2px) keeps the unprefixed filter, and equal values merge their prefixes. lightningcss outputs only -webkit-filter: blur(2px).
• An unparsed filter or backdrop-filter (a var()) is appended instead of replacing the tracked declaration, so filter: blur(1px); filter: var(--x) keeps blur(1px) for targets without custom properties. That is what main printed, since nothing tracked filter before. lightningcss keeps only the var() one (fix: remove overridden variable calculations parcel-bundler/lightningcss#1337), and color and text-shadow still behave that way here.

Anything that doesn't parse as a filter list (IE's alpha(opacity=0), progid:..., calc() with var()) still falls back to the unparsed path and prints unchanged; the pico, materialize and other real-world stylesheet tests pass untouched.

Not included: the non-negative range checks lightningcss added in parcel-bundler/lightningcss#1329 (brightness(-1) and blur(-1px) rejected). bun's box-shadow and text-shadow don't range-check either, and a typed brightness(-1) prints the same bytes as the unparsed one, so that is a separate change across all three.

How did you verify your code works?

New describe("filter") in test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts: lightningcss's test_filter cases (minus the range checks), plus the #44639 cases for drop-shadow() after another filter function and inside backdrop-filter.

Run with bun bd test on a debug ASAN build (linux-aarch64, Ubuntu 25.04 with the CI image's pinned LLVM 23.1, rust nightly-2026-09-15 and bun 1.4.2):

run	files	pass	fail
this branch	all of test/js/bun/css and test/bundler/css (29 files)	2,720	3
control: main's src/css, this branch's tests (at da5dfe998f)	css.test.ts, css-fuzz.test.ts, angle-serialization-hang.test.ts	1,300	17

• 13 of the first 20 new filter tests fail on main. The other 7 pass on both because the unparsed output already matched (for example blur(5px), brightness(10%), and an already-prefixed -webkit-backdrop-filter).
• The two var() cases fail against da5dfe998f's src/css (45 pass, 2 fail on -t filter) and pass here.
• The failures on this branch are all per-test timeouts under debug ASAN: 3 in css-fuzz.test.ts on the latest run (main times out on the same file). Earlier runs also timed out the two deeply nested & cases in nested-selector-expansion.test.ts, which time out at 5 s on main's src/css too. css: bump the default browser targets to Vite's baseline widely available set #40369 notes the fuzz timeouts.
• angle-serialization-hang.test.ts passes on both: hue-rotate(1e50rad) still prints 3.40282e38rad now that it goes through Angle::to_css.

Walkthrough

The change adds typed parsing and serialization for filter and backdrop-filter, including filter functions and drop shadows. It adds vendor-prefix handling and color fallback generation, with tests for minification and browser-target output.

Changes

Filter and Backdrop Filter

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Filter value parsing and fallback conversion src/css/properties/effects.rs, src/css/properties/mod.rs	Adds parsing and compact serialization for filter functions, drop shadows, and filter lists. Adds cloning, equality, compatibility checks, and RGB/P3/LAB color fallback conversion.
Property parsing and serialization src/css/properties/properties_generated.rs	Registers filter and backdrop-filter with unprefixed and -webkit- names. Adds property parsing, serialization, cloning, and equality handling.
Prefix fallback processing and validation src/css/properties/prefix_handler.rs, test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts	Processes prefixed declarations and generated fallbacks for both properties. Tests minification, browser-target prefixing, and drop-shadow color fallbacks.

Suggested reviewers: robobun, jarred-sumner

Priority: Normal

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review ba576

A later drop-shadow color can lack the fallbacks needed by older browsers. Fix this declaration order before merging.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to ba576

The change primarily affects generated CSS and browser compatibility. A declaration-order case can omit intended color fallbacks, but no security boundary bypass was established. Downstream browser behavior and incomplete security coverage leave some uncertainty.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — Attacker-controlled filter values can reach additional browser consumers through target-selected prefixed CSS output, including URL-bearing filters. The established exposure is generated stylesheet content and existing URL dependency records. Actual browser fetching, document-level protections, and downstream deployment exposure were not validated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Failed typed property parsing resets the parser and retains the known property identity in UnparsedProperty. Unparsed prefix processing clones the value and changes the property prefix; it does not introduce an identity or privilege transition.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Filter and backdrop-filter have separate tracked indices. Typed replacement uses guarded Property variants, normal and important declarations use separate handlers, and finalize clears the indices before accumulators are reused. These lifecycle controls bound the observed compatibility mismatch to declaration transformation rather than shared persistent state.

Keep the unprefixed declaration when a later prefixed value differs.

When targets require NONE | WEBKIT, filter: blur(1px) stores both prefixes. The following -webkit-filter: blur(2px) replaces that entry with a WEBKIT-only value. Serialization then drops filter: blur(1px), so browsers that do not recognize -webkit-filter lose the unprefixed declaration. Preserve the declarations separately when their values differ.

Regenerate fallbacks when replacing a tracked filter.

When filter: blur(1px) is followed by the OKLCH drop-shadow for targets that require color fallbacks, the blur sets the tracked filter index. The second declaration then skips get_fallbacks and replaces the tracked property with the unchanged OKLCH value. The output has no fallback declaration for that shadow, so those targets can lose the filter. Preserving vendor-prefix state alone does not fix this; update fallback declarations when the tracked value changes.

🟡 Minor · Preserve earlier filter declarations when handling unparsed values. · prefix_handler.rs:186-207

src/css/properties/prefix_handler.rs:186-207
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve earlier filter declarations when handling unparsed values.

When an earlier parsed filter exists, the unparsed filter branch replaces it with the var() declaration. For a legacy target that needs -webkit-filter but does not support CSS variables, both emitted declarations can be invalid, so the earlier usable filter is lost.

Append the unparsed declaration instead of overwriting the earlier declaration. Keep the current replacement behavior for unparsed unprefixed properties.

@coderabbitai Fixed in ba576ff (the outside-diff finding on prefix_handler.rs:186-207). An unparsed filter or backdrop-filter is now appended instead of overwriting the tracked declaration, so filter: blur(1px); filter: var(--x) keeps blur(1px) for targets without custom properties. That matches what main printed before filter was tracked. color and text-shadow keep their replacement behavior, which is lightningcss's policy (parcel-bundler/lightningcss#1337).

Two new prefix_test cases cover it: filter at Chrome 20 (with -webkit-filter) and backdrop-filter at Chrome 90. Both fail against da5dfe9's src/css and pass here.

@oddharsh Thanks for the fix and the policy clarification. I verified that unparsed filter and backdrop-filter declarations now append instead of replacing the tracked declaration. color and text-shadow retain their replacement behavior.

The two prefix_test cases cover Chrome 20 with -webkit-filter and Chrome 90 with backdrop-filter. I inspected the assertions but did not run the tests. This addresses the finding.

Timestamp: 2026-10-07T12:56:06.740Z
Learning: In oven-sh/bun, src/css/properties/prefix_handler.rs intentionally preserves earlier declarations when a later filter or backdrop-filter declaration is unparsed, including var() values. This preserves the behavior from before these properties were tracked and keeps fallbacks for targets without custom-property support. The color and text-shadow properties intentionally retain replacement behavior, following Lightning CSS policy referenced in parcel-bundler/lightningcss#1337.
