Related to #44704, #45730, #45258

Stacked on #46895, #45665 and a commit of #45201. Land them first.

Problem

• With browser targets, bun build removes a style rule when a later rule has the same selectors and properties. .a{width:100vh}.b{color:red}.a{width:100dvh} prints .b{color:red}.a{width:100dvh}. A target without dvh gets no width.
• The duplicate check in minify_style_arm (src/css/rules/mod.rs:847) compares property names, not values.

Fix

• With browser targets, the check removes the earlier rule only when both declaration blocks are equal. Without targets nothing changes.
• A kept rule reproduces the source cascade. lightningcss removes it, esbuild keeps it.
• Verified: test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts (27 of 47 tests fail without the diff) and 41 CSS test files.
• Self-reviewed: 9 concerns raised, 8 addressed (Notes).

Background

• A browser ignores a declaration it cannot parse. Authors put a fallback first.
• bun prints a rule once for each vendor prefix. On a rebuild of that output, the check must remove the copies.
• On main a copy with url() is never equal. Alone, this diff makes 18 of 278 sheets grow on each rebuild. 11 tests hold the order.
• Considered the repairs here: four open PRs own them.

Downsides

• Output grows 14,126 bytes (+0.0198%) over 2,652 npm stylesheets, and 0.387% when built again. .text grows 512 bytes.
• A plain stylesheet with composes still grows on each rebuild (0 of 2,970 sheets).
• Still lost: a fallback in one rule (css: keep an earlier gap or flex-basis declaration when a target lacks the later one #46694, css: keep an earlier transform or translate declaration when a target does not support the later one #45908), a vendor-prefixed twin (css: print explicitly prefixed selectors as written in every vendor prefix pass #42106), builds without targets.

Notes

Reproduce

printf '.a{width:100vh}\n.b{color:red}\n.a{width:100dvh}\n' > in.css
bun build ./in.css --minify

• main, 1.4.0 and 1.4.2: .b{color:red}.a{width:100dvh}
• this PR, bun 1.3.13 and esbuild 0.28.2: all three rules
• lightningcss 1.33.0 with the same targets: the same as main
• The check also runs without --minify, and for CSS that JS or HTML imports. Each file is minified alone, so two files never remove a rule from each other.
• The targets of bun build are Chrome 80, Edge 80, Firefox 78, Safari 14 and Opera 67. None of them parses dvh.
• A real stylesheet with the loss: vuetify 3.7.0 dist/vuetify.css has .h-screen{height:100vh!important} and, after other rules, .h-screen{height:100dvh!important}. bun 1.3.13 prints both. bun 1.4.2 and main print the second one only. This PR prints both.

The stack

The diff of this PR is 4 lines in src/css/rules/mod.rs and the tests. Its base branch, robobun/e866a84c/css-duplicate-rule-stack-base, is main 449877f3e08 with three repairs of declaration equality:

In the base	What was wrong on main
#46895 at e25570d3f42. It holds #42018 as two commits.	Url::eql compares import records, so two url() values are never equal.
#45665 at f1c0c529c1e	Size2D::eql is lhs.a == rhs.b. 1px/2px is not equal to itself, and 10px is equal to 10px/1dvh.
Commit 74c9bbb of #45201, taken alone	A none channel is NaN, so a color with none is not equal to itself.

The order matters because of rebuilds. bun prints a rule once for each vendor prefix that its selectors need. When bun builds that output again, the copies are rules of their own. From the third build they are duplicates. The name-only check of main removes them. The equal-block check removes them only when a block equals its copy.

Rules after chained bun build --minify runs 1 to 6, release builds:

Source	main	this diff alone on main	the stack
.a:not(.b,.c){color:red}	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
.a:not(.b,.c){background:url(data:,a)}	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
.a:not(.b,.c){color:lab(none 0 0)}	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
.a:not(.b,.c){border-radius:1px/2px}	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
.a:autofill{background:url(data:,a)}	2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2	2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64	2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2
.a:autofill:not(.b,.c){background:url(data:,a)}	3, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7	3, 7, 17, 41, 99, 239	3, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7
.a:fullscreen:not(.b,.c){background:url(data:,a)}	3, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6	3, 6, 11, 19, 32, 53	3, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6
.a:not(.b,.c){composes:x;color:red}	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13	3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13

• Alone on main, .a:autofill{background:url(data:,a)} doubles on each build. Build 22 fails with error: Failed to generate CSS for this file (PrintError). On the stack 28 builds print 2 rules each.
• Real sheets: 278 sheets of beercss, choices.js, tom-select and viewerjs. This diff alone makes 18 of them grow on each build after the second, 36,590 bytes per build in total. On the stack no sheet of 2,930 grows more per build than on main.
• The tests hold the order. These pass on main and on the stack: three copy rows, the block "output that is minified again stops changing", and the bun build chain. With this diff alone on main, 11 of the 47 tests fail. So those tests do not fail on the unfixed build. They pin a bound that main has and that this diff alone drops.
• composes is the row that stays different. Its equality includes the source location, so a copy is never equal. A CSS module does not print composes, so a rebuild never sees it there. A plain sheet prints it. lightningcss parses composes only in a CSS module. That repair is not in the base. On main a plain sheet with composes: x from "./other.css" imports other.css, and the repair changes that.
• css: keep border-image and border in source cascade order within a rule #42018 is a draft and its head moved after css: compare url() values by their text #46895 took its two commits. When a PR of the base changes, the base branch must be built again from the new heads.

Reported on this PR

A comment on this PR reported three things. Each is verified on release builds.

1. The rebuild growth above. Repaired by the stack.
2. A rule that absorbed its vendor-prefixed twin is lost: .a::-moz-selection{color:red}.a::selection{color:red}.z{top:0}.a::-moz-selection{color:red} prints .z{top:0}.a::-moz-selection{color:red} on main and here, with and without targets. The first two rules become one rule with two vendor prefixes, and the check does not compare the prefixes. Not changed here. css: print explicitly prefixed selectors as written in every vendor prefix pass #42106 changes how such a rule stores and prints its prefixes. With its diff applied on this stack, .a::selection stays in the five cases I ran, and the 47 tests pass. The cases: ::selection, :autofill, ::placeholder, the other rule order, and merged @media blocks.
3. Builds with no browser targets still remove the earlier rule. Not changed here: see "What the check does".

What the check does

Targets	Later declaration block	Earlier rule
none	any	removed (as before)
browser	equal	removed (as before)
browser	different	stays

• "Browser targets" is any target set, also one where every browser parses the later value: .a{color:red}.b{color:green}.a{color:pink} keeps all three rules. The check does not ask which values a target parses. bun has support data for some kinds of value (lengths, colors, images, font values) and none for keywords such as overflow:clip, so such a question cannot prove a removal safe.
• lightningcss removes the earlier rule for different values by design, and tests that without targets. Its author wrote on lightningcss#456: "for exact duplicates it could work. If either the selectors or declarations are different then it isn't safe." Its fallback checks (lightningcss#292) are in the declaration handlers only. The case that nobody chose is a later value that a target cannot parse.
• A rule that stays leaves the lookup table, so the pass stays linear. .a{width:1px}.b{top:0}.a{width:2px}.c{top:0}.a{width:1px} keeps all three .a rules.
• The comparison is DeclarationBlock::eql, which already decides whether two neighbour rules share one rule.

Issues whose commands change

With the default targets these commands print every rule now:

• CSS minifier drops one of two adjacent :where() rules that hold only custom properties (1.4.2 regression) #44704: bun build ./index.html --outdir out --minify with :where(.x){--a:1}:where(.x){--b:2}.
• CSS bundler drops an earlier rule of custom properties when a later non-adjacent rule has the same selector (1.4.0 regression) #45730: bun build a.css with .tag{--h-xs:1px}.tag.xs{--h:var(--h-xs)}.tag{--h-sm:2px}.
• CSS bundler drops nested @supports blocks and same-selector nested rules when lowering nesting #45258, second case: :root{&{--a:2}&{--b:2}} prints :root{--a:2}:root{--b:2}. css: keep same-condition @supports rules and empty named @layer blocks #46733 has the first case.

Their cause is that the check reads every custom property as one name. #33684 fixes that for every build. With --target bun, #45730 still loses the rule, so the issues stay open.

Still lost after this PR

• Builds with no browser targets: --target bun, --target node, bun build --no-bundle (bun build --no-bundle: minify css with the build target's browser targets #38544), and the server and SSR graphs of the dev server.
• A fallback in one rule, or in two neighbour rules (they become one block): .d{gap:15px}.d{gap:round(1em,5px)} prints .d{gap:round(1em,5px)}. Owners: gap, flex-basis css: keep an earlier gap or flex-basis declaration when a target lacks the later one #46694. transform, translate css: keep an earlier transform or translate declaration when a target does not support the later one #45908. width, margin and font-size keep it on main.
• A rule that absorbed its vendor-prefixed twin (css: print explicitly prefixed selectors as written in every vendor prefix pass #42106, see above).
• Names in transition-property: all and none compare equal (PropertyId::eq, css: compare custom property names in PropertyId equality and importance in duplicate-rule detection #33684). No fallback depends on that.

With #45665 in the base, border-radius:10px before 10px/1dvh stays. On main, and with this diff alone, it is removed.

Rules that stay and are not needed (size only)

• Every different-valued duplicate under browser targets (the table above).
• An exact duplicate of a rule with composes.
• Values that print the same from other syntax: font-weight:700 and bold, font-stretch:condensed and 75%.

Open PRs with an expectation that this PR changes

Each has one row that expects a different-valued removal under a browser target. The PR that lands second updates its row.

• css: compare custom property names in PropertyId equality and importance in duplicate-rule detection #33684 and css: resolve legacy aliases in the name table and keep them after the property they alias #45825: :where(.x){--a:1}:where(.x){--a:2} under Chrome 80 (duplicate-declaration-merge-hang.test.ts:212). Both rules stay here. :where(.x){--a:1}:where(.x){--a:1} gives one rule on main and here.
• css: keep declarations written after a nested rule in place with a nested declarations rule #45462: .a { @media screen { inset-inline-end: 1px } @media screen { inset-inline-end: 2px } } under Firefox 60.
• css: fold relative colors on the scale of their function, and keep them as written when the fold is not exact #45362: .a{color:#369}.b{margin:0}.a{color:rgb(from var(--c) r g b)}.

The flood row in duplicate-declaration-merge-hang.test.ts uses the loop shape of #33684. The four :not() rebuild rows and the bun build chain pin the text of each build. That text is the same with the diff of #42106. The three rows with :autofill or :fullscreen compare the fifth and the sixth build only. With #42106, .a:autofill:not(.b,.c){...} stops changing at the fourth build (3, 6, 8, 10, 10, 10 rules), with and without this diff.

Measurements

Release builds at main 449877f3e08: main, the base, and the base with this diff. Unless a line says otherwise, a pair of numbers is the base and the base with this diff.

Corpus: 2,652 stylesheets of about 100 npm packages, and 278 more (beercss, choices.js, tom-select, viewerjs), default targets.

• First build, minified: 71,356,415 to 71,370,541 bytes (+14,126, +0.0198%). Non-minified: 81,342,902 to 81,359,460 (+16,558, +0.0204%). 42 sheets change and all grow. Worst: antd/lib/button/style/index.css, +1,551 of 37,981 bytes. The 278 sheets do not change.
• Built again from its own output: +303,201 bytes (+0.387%) on 278 of the 2,652 sheets at the second build. The difference is the same at builds 3 to 6. 288,784 of those bytes are in @picocss/pico. The first build splits selector lists for the old targets. The second build then finds rules with the same selector that a later rule overrides. The 278 other sheets: +4,430 bytes on 6 sheets at the second build, +4,867 from the third.
• Sheets that grow more per build than on main, builds 5 to 6: 0 of 2,930. main itself grows 34,398 bytes per build on 275 of the 2,652 sheets.
• No browser targets: 0 bytes change on 2,930 sheets.
• Duplicate rules that the check finds per pass over the 2,652 sheets: 752. 141 stay: 111 rules that a later rule overrides (colors, paddings, shadows in antd, semantic-ui, devicon), and 30 rules of custom properties that main drops wrongly (mini.css, basscss). None of the 111 has a later value that a default target cannot parse.
• Instructions for the corpus (3 interleaved runs each): 16,099,743,415 and 16,100,326,197 (medians). The runs differ by up to 2.9 M.

Instructions (instructions:u through perf_event_open, JIT off, medians of 5 interleaved runs):

Input	base	base with this diff
32,000 rules, no duplicate	520,506,678	520,470,547 (runs differ by 26,688)
16,000 equal duplicates	420,757,068	422,503,739 (+109 each)
16,000 equal duplicates with url()	506,699,808	512,223,384 (+345 each)
16,000 duplicates, no targets	416,176,108	416,389,287 (+13 each)
8,000 / 16,000 / 32,000 different duplicates	253,716,260 / 440,361,517 / 813,736,231	268,005,328 / 469,109,140 / 871,114,310
2,000 same-query @media blocks, one duplicate each	676,934,334	6,697,449,727
2,000 same-query @media blocks, one distinct rule each	7,168,605,956	7,166,609,702

• The path after a lookup that finds nothing has 7 instructions and 1 branch in both builds (objdump).
• Different duplicates: the steps are 201.1 M and 402.0 M, so the pass is linear. A rule that stays costs about 1,800 instructions to hold and print.
• Same-query @media blocks are merged and minified again for each block (css: minify a run of merged same-query @media rules once #38531). Rules that stay now cost there what distinct rules cost on main.
• Per corpus pass the check runs DeclarationBlock::eql 752 times, with 2,704 Property::eql calls (mean 3.6, largest 40).
• Allocations inside StyleSheet::minify (gdb, four inputs of 2,000 rules): the same counts in both builds. 6,070 with no duplicate, 8,076 for each of the three duplicate inputs.
• Binary (size -A, nm): .text 82,167,177 to 82,167,689 bytes. minify_style_arm 7,468 to 7,652 bytes. One new symbol, DeclarationBlock::eql (210 bytes): its one caller had it inline.
• 4,862 value pairs over 129 properties, as .a{P:v1}.b{--mid:1}.a{P:v2}. Removed although the blocks print differently: 3,930 on main, 33 with this diff alone, 2 on the stack (both transition-property). Kept although the blocks print the same: 6 on main, 31 with this diff alone, 10 on the stack.
• The base against main (the cost of its PRs, not of this diff): .text +2,560 bytes. 32,000 plain rules: +0.18% instructions. First build: 308 bytes smaller on 8 of the 2,930 sheets.
• perf, valgrind, bloaty and strace are not on the machine.

Other designs

• A check of every value against the support data (is_compatible): most value types have no such function, and the data has no keywords. overflow:hidden before overflow:clip stays lost.
• Ask the declaration handlers (minify both blocks as one): it still removes .d{gap:15px}, and it adds a clone and a handler pass for each duplicate.
• Fix only which rules count as duplicates (css: compare custom property names in PropertyId equality and importance in duplicate-rule detection #33684): a different cause. Every different-valued pair is still removed.
• The equality repairs inside this PR: css: compare url() values by their text #46895, css: derive equality for Size2D and BorderRadius, and keep every prefix in the border-radius handler #45665 and css: return a missing hue for a grey from conversions into lch, oklch, hsl and hwb #45201 have them, each with its own tests and costs.
• This diff on main with the order in the description only: no test would hold it.
• The name-only removal when a block does not equal itself: a url() equals itself and not its copy. The check cannot see that case. It also hides the comparison defect at one caller.
• A vendor-prefix condition at this check: the lost twin needs the change of css: print explicitly prefixed selectors as written in every vendor prefix pass #42106 (above).
• Compare every rule at the end of a run of style rules, on every build (robobun/1095c942/css-exact-rule-identity, 8 source files, +128/-171). It needs the same repairs, and it also changes builds with no targets. That is a decision of its own.

Self-review items that are not done

• A tracking issue for the whole class. "Still lost" names each part and its owner.
• A second review picked this stack. Two steps of its plan are not done. A separate PR for the none commit: css: return a missing hue for a grey from conversions into lch, oklch, hsl and hwb #45201 has that commit, and a second PR would compete with it. The composes parse condition: see "The stack".

Suites (debug build of the stack)

• test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts and duplicate-declaration-merge-hang.test.ts: 1,455 pass, 0 fail. With the src/ of the base: 28 fail. With this diff alone on main: 11 fail.
• 42 CSS test files (test/js/bun/css except css-fuzz.test.ts, test/bundler/css, test/bundler/esbuild/css.test.ts, 13 CSS regression tests): 2,928 pass, 0 fail.
• css-fuzz.test.ts reaches its 5 s and 10 s timeouts on the debug build here. It passes on the release builds of main and of the stack.

Walkthrough

Style-rule deduplication now checks declaration equality when browser targets are specified. Added tests cover minifier behavior, build output, and a flood of distinct fallback rules.

Changes

CSS duplicate-rule deduplication

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Target-aware duplicate removal src/css/rules/mod.rs	The code removes an earlier duplicate when browser targets are unspecified or the later style rule has matching declarations.
Minifier and build validation test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts, test/js/bun/css/duplicate-declaration-merge-hang.test.ts	Tests cover duplicate and nested rules, at-rules, build output, and 2,000 distinct fallback rules under Chrome 80.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the required template with both sections present: "What does this PR do?" is covered by the Problem, Fix, and Background subsections, and "How did you verify your code works?" is covered by the Verified line, the reproduction steps, and the test suite results. The author gives concrete reproduction commands, before/after outputs, measured corpus impact, and a clear list of remaining gaps. The description is long and dense, and it depends on several unmerged stacked PRs, which a reviewer must read first. Those points affect readability, not completeness, so the check passes.

Status

The change landed in #47025 (7942008688). This PR is closed.

Checked on a debug build of main at 7942008688:

printf '.a{width:100vh}\n.b{color:red}\n.a{width:100dvh}\n' > in.css
bun build ./in.css --minify
# 1.4.2: .b{color:red}.a{width:100dvh}
# main:  .a{width:100vh}.b{color:red}.a{width:100dvh}

• main runs the check on every build, so --target bun prints the three rules too.
• The equality repairs for url(), a none channel, a two-value size and composes are on main. Chained bun build --minify runs of the rebuild rows in the description stop changing at the second build. Example: .a:not(.b,.c){background:url(data:,a)} gives 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 rules.
• css: consolidate the open CSS parser fixes #47025 does not change the vendor-prefixed twin case from this thread. .a::-moz-selection{color:red}.a::selection{color:red}.z{top:0}.a::-moz-selection{color:red} still prints .z{top:0}.a::-moz-selection{color:red}.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟡 src/css/rules/mod.rs — Builds with many consecutive same-query @ media blocks that each override one selector's value now take about 10x longer with browser targets. Each merge at src/css/rules/mod.rs:521 re-minifies the whole merged list, and the rules that the new gate at src/css/rules/mod.rs:859-860 keeps are re-run through the property handlers on every later merge, so cost is quadratic in the block count. The PR's own figures: 2,000 blocks go from 671,835,775 to 6,634,380,423 instructions. Fix: minify only the rules appended by the merge (or dedup incrementally) so a kept earlier rule is not re-minified per block, covering both the duplicate and distinct-rule shapes.

  Why this was flagged

  Trigger: a stylesheet with N consecutive @ media blocks sharing one query, each holding a same-selector, same-property, different-valued rule, built with the default browser targets of bun build. The Media arm at src/css/rules/mod.rs:517-521 appends the block's rules to the previous block and calls last_rule.minify on the entire merged list. On the base branch the earlier .a rules became CssRule::Ignored on the first re-minify (src/css/rules/mod.rs:862) and later passes only iterate cheap Ignored slots; with the new conjuncts at src/css/rules/mod.rs:859-860 every earlier .a stays a Style rule and goes through minify_style_arm and the property handlers again on each of the N merges. The author measured 671,835,775 vs 6,634,380,423 instructions at N=2000; the growth is quadratic. Remedy: minify only the newly appended rules in the same-query merge instead of the whole list.

  Verification: The Media arm at src/css/rules/mod.rs:517-521 calls last_rule.minify on the whole accumulated list at each merge. On the base, the earlier duplicate was replaced with CssRule::Ignored (line 862), with no handler work on re-walk. With the new gate at lines 858-860, each different-valued .a rule is kept as a live Style entry and re-run through the handlers at every merge: ~N^2/2 handler runs instead of ~N.

[robobun]

On the @media finding: the cost is the re-minify of the whole merged block for each same-query @media block (src/css/rules/mod.rs:516). main has it for distinct rules: 2,000 blocks with one distinct rule each cost 7.10 G instructions on main and on this branch. This PR makes a kept duplicate cost what a distinct rule costs (6.63 G at 2,000 blocks, 0.67 G before). #38531 minifies a merged run once, which removes the quadratic cost for both shapes. The Downsides section of the body now states the number.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

• 🟣 src/css/rules/mod.rs — Pre-existing: users whose stylesheet has two consecutive @ supports blocks with the same condition lose every rule of the second block in bun build output. The Supports arm at src/css/rules/mod.rs:529-534 matches the previous rule's condition and then does break 'arm without appending supp.rules to last_rule.rules, so the rule is never pushed and self.v = rules at src/css/rules/mod.rs:633 discards it. The Media arm at src/css/rules/mod.rs:517-522 shows the intended shape. Fix: on an equal condition append supp.rules.v into last_rule.rules.v and re-minify last_rule, as the Media arm does, so the merged block keeps both rule lists; the new @ supports test in css.test.ts covers only a single block and would not catch this.

  Why this was flagged

  Input @ supports (display:grid){.a{color:red}}@ supports (display:grid){.b{color:blue}} reaches CssRuleList::minify through bun build (src/bundler/ParseTask.rs:1330) or cssInternals.minifyTest. For the second block, rules.last_mut() is the first @ supports and last_rule.condition.eql(&supp.condition) is true at src/css/rules/mod.rs:530, so the arm executes break 'arm at src/css/rules/mod.rs:533 with moved_rule still false and nothing appended to last_rule.rules.v. The loop then continues to the next source rule; at src/css/rules/mod.rs:633 self.v = rules replaces the list, and the second block (with .b{color:blue}) is gone. Output is @ supports (display:grid){.a{color:red}}; .b elements get no color. The comment at src/css/rules/mod.rs:532 says the duplicate-condition rule is dropped outright, but its rules are not duplicates of anything. The base branch has the same code, so this is pre-existing; the PR's new case in test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts uses one block and does not reach this branch.

  Verification: Pre-existing, triggered whenever a stylesheet minified by bun build contains two adjacent @ supports blocks with an equal condition. At src/css/rules/mod.rs:528-534 nothing appends supp.rules.v to last_rule.rules.v before break 'arm, so line 633 self.v = rules; drops the second block. The base branch fails identically; the PR's new tests only use a single @ supports block.

[robobun]

On the @supports finding: this PR does not change the Supports arm. #46733 does. It keeps a rule whose condition equals the rule before it, and it covers #24770 and the first case of #45258. The PR body names #46733 next to the second case of #45258, which this PR changes.

Results from a second build of the same rule

I built the same rule (erase an earlier rule only when the later rule is an exact copy) on another branch before this PR existed: robobun/1095c942/css-exact-rule-identity. I do not open it as a PR: this PR has the decision. Three results from that work apply here. Each one is from a release build of this PR's head (393e16f).

1. Output grows on each rebuild for a rule that holds url() or a none color

DeclarationBlock::eql says that such a rule is not equal to its own copy: Url::eql compares import record indexes, and a none channel is NaN. When bun minifies its own output, the selector lowering makes copies. On main the check erases them. With this gate nothing does.

printf '.a:autofill:not(.b,.c){background:url(data:,a)}' > a.css
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6; do bun build a.css --minify --outdir out >/dev/null && cp out/a.css a.css && grep -o '{' a.css | wc -l; done

Source, rules after builds 1 to 6	main	this PR
.a:not(.b,.c){background:url(data:,a)}	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13
.a:not(.b,.c){color:lab(none 0 0)}	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13
.a:autofill:not(.b,.c){background:url(data:,a)}	3, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7	3, 7, 17, 41, 99, 239
.a:autofill:not(.b,.c){--c:oklch(98.5% 0 none)}	3, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7	3, 7, 17, 41, 99, 239

In 3,942 CSS files from 142 npm packages, 19 sheets that stop changing at the third build on main grow on every build here, 37,439 bytes per build in total. beercss/dist/cdn/elements/shape.scoped.css stays at 22,384 bytes on main. Here builds 3 to 6 are 27,874, 33,364, 38,854 and 44,344 bytes. The other sheets are in choices.js, tom-select and viewerjs.

Two repairs remove the growth, and the table above is then the same as main:

• none: the reflexive PartialEq of css: return a missing hue for a grey from conversions into lch, oklch, hsl and hwb #45201 (commit 74c9bbb).
• url(): compare the text of the url. It is commit 1e99577 on my branch. I will open it as its own PR on top of css: keep border-image and border in source cascade order within a rule #42018, because two equal url() values reach the inverted test that css: keep border-image and border in source cascade order within a rule #42018 repairs.

2. A rule that holds a vendor-prefixed twin is still lost

.a::-moz-selection{color:red}.a::selection{color:red}.z{top:0}.a::-moz-selection{color:red} prints .z{top:0}.a::-moz-selection{color:red} on main and on this PR, with and without targets. .a::selection is gone for every browser. The two first rules merge into one rule with two vendor prefixes, and the check does not compare StyleRule::vendor_prefix. The declarations are equal, so the gate does not stop it. esbuild 0.28.2 keeps the rule. lightningcss 1.33.0 loses it.

On my branch the earlier rule goes only when the later rule prints each of its vendor prefixes (StyleRule::is_repeated_by, commit 5deb79c). This is a repair, not part of the decision.

3. Builds with no browser targets

With no targets (--target bun, --no-bundle) the 100vh rule is still erased, and the #45730 input still loses .tag{--h-xs:1px}. A browser reads that CSS too. My branch compares on every build.

What is on the branch, if it is useful here or later

• The compare runs when a run of style rules ends, so a rule is compared in the form that is printed. The table is then one index for each hash, with no truncate and no clear. .a{color:red;top:0}.z{left:0}.a{color:red}.a{top:0} prints .z{left:0}.a{color:red;top:0} (both copies stay on main and here).
• Tests: a table of 41 property and value pairs (a rule equals its copy, and does not equal a rule with the other value), and a rebuild check at the default targets.
• One real stylesheet that loses a fallback on 1.4.x: vuetify 3.7.0 dist/vuetify.css has .h-screen{height:100vh!important}, five rules, then .h-screen{height:100dvh!important}. bun 1.3.14 prints both rules. bun 1.4.2 and main print only the 100dvh rule.

[robobun]

On the three results in the comment above ("Results from a second build of the same rule"): all three hold. I ran each on release builds.

1. Rebuild growth. This diff alone on main has it, so the PR is now stacked. The base branch is main with #46895 (which holds #42018), #45665 and commit 74c9bbb of #45201.

Source, rules after builds 1 to 6	main	this diff alone	the stack
.a:not(.b,.c){background:url(data:,a)}	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
.a:not(.b,.c){color:lab(none 0 0)}	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
.a:not(.b,.c){border-radius:1px/2px}	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5	3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13	3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5
.a:autofill:not(.b,.c){background:url(data:,a)}	3, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7	3, 7, 17, 41, 99, 239	3, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7

• On the stack no sheet of 2,930 grows more per build than on main. With this diff alone, 18 of 278 sheets grow 36,590 bytes per build.
• New tests chain the minifier on its own output. With this diff alone on main, 11 of the 47 tests fail, so the order is held by CI.
• One kind stays: a plain stylesheet with composes (3, 5, 7, 9 rules, main 3, 5, 5, 5). Its equality includes the source location. No sheet of 2,970 holds composes.

2. The vendor-prefixed twin. Not changed in this PR. With the diff of #42106 applied on this stack, .a::selection stays in the five cases I ran: ::selection, :autofill, ::placeholder, the other rule order, and merged @media blocks. A prefix condition at this check covers only this one place.

3. Builds with no browser targets. Not changed. The check stays off without targets, so those builds are as on main and as in lightningcss. #33684 repairs the custom property names on every build. #38544 gives the --no-bundle path its targets.

The description has the measurements. The compare at the end of a run from your branch is under "Other designs" there.
