Problem

• When the targets make the CSS minifier compile logical properties away, a border-width, border-style or border-color shorthand that overrides an earlier border-inline-* longhand in the same rule still gets the dead longhand compiled into :lang() fallback rules. Those rules are emitted after the rule, so they win the cascade and the output no longer matches the source (bun 1.4.0 and main):

  .a{border-inline-start-width:3px;border-width:0}
  -> .a{border-width:0}  .a:not(:lang(ae), ...){border-left-width:3px}  ...  .a:lang(ae), ...{border-right-width:3px}
  

  The source gives every side width 0; the output gives LTR pages border-left-width: 3px. Same for border-inline-end-*, border-inline-*, and the style and color families (border-inline-start-color:red;border-color:blue keeps red).
• With logical properties supported, the same inputs are only under-minified: bun build --minify keeps .a{border-inline-start-width:3px;border-width:0} as written (now .a{border-width:0}). Targets old enough to compile logical properties are not reachable from the bun build CLI today, so the wrong-cascade output shows up through the internal API test/js/bun/css uses, and the under-minification is what users see.
• Cause: BorderHandler::handle_property, Property::BorderWidth / BorderStyle / BorderColor arms (src/css/properties/border.rs:1378-1413). Each arm buffers the four physical sides through property_helper!, and that helper flushes the whole buffer when the category changes (flush_helper!, border.rs:1224), which it does after a logical longhand. flush_logical turns buffered inline sides into context.add_logical_rule(...) rules when the targets lack logical properties. Only after that flush did the arm clear the overridden component of the four logical sides, so the clears never removed anything.
• Upstream lightningcss 1.30.2 produces the same output for these inputs (same arm shape), so this is inherited rather than a porting error. The full border: arm is not affected: it replaces everything without flushing.

Fix

• The three arms share a new rect_shorthand_helper! that clears the component on the four logical sides before the property_helper! calls, so the category-change flush writes out only what the shorthand leaves live (nothing for a plain longhand; the style and color of border-inline-start: 3px solid red when border-width follows).
• The clear is skipped when one of the shorthand's four values is rejected by a target (is_compatible), because such a target drops the whole declaration and the buffered longhands still apply there; they are then flushed as fallbacks, which is the existing behavior and the same condition flush_helper! uses to keep a physical value as a fallback. This is also the rule css: drop the logical longhands a 4-side margin/padding shorthand overrides instead of flushing them #38576 applies to the margin/padding shorthands.
• Why this is correct: the 4-side shorthand sets all four physical longhands of its component, and a logical longhand of that component resolves to one of those four in every writing mode, so a browser that applies the shorthand can never observe the earlier longhand. Other components are untouched, physical sides still go through property_helper! unchanged, and the reverse order (border-width:0;border-inline-start-width:3px) still hits the category flush, so its output is unchanged. Every output this changes is one where the removed declaration was dead for every target.
• Verified with test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts, new "4-side shorthand after a logical longhand in the same block" block under border: inline-start, inline-end, border-inline-*, block-start and block-end, across width, style and color, each minified and compiled for safari 8; the partial override (border-inline-start: 3px solid red; border-width: 0) in both modes; a different component; the fallback condition (max(2cqw, 22px) with safari 14 vs 16, color(display-p3 ...) with chrome 99 vs safari 16); the reverse order in both modes; and the two !important cases. 25 of the 31 cases fail on bun 1.4.0 (USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1), all 31 pass with the fix.
• bun bd test test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts: 1173 pass. doesnt_crash, css-loader, test/bundler/css/css-modules.test.ts, test/bundler/esbuild/css.test.ts: 125 pass.
• Open PRs touching border.rs (css: record the category when a margin, padding, inset or scroll-margin shorthand replaces the buffered values #38551 Border arm, css: emit unparsed border-block-* declarations when compiling logical borders #38582 flush_unparsed, css: compile the border-inline shorthands the border minifier produces for old targets #38592 flush_category!) change different lines and do not cover these arms; css: drop the logical longhands a 4-side margin/padding shorthand overrides instead of flushing them #38576 is the same fix for margin_padding.rs. A physical longhand declared after a compiled inline longhand (border-inline-start-color:red;border-left-color:blue) loses to the appended rules in the same way; that needs a different fix and is tracked separately.

Background

• The minifier runs each declaration block through property handlers. BorderHandler buffers the block's border declarations as eight sides (four physical, four logical), each holding an optional width, style and color, and flush() writes them out merged into the shortest shorthands. A declaration for a slot that is already buffered replaces it; that is how border-top-width:1px;border-width:0 becomes border-width:0.
• Logical sides (border-inline-start, ...) resolve to a physical side based on the element's writing mode, so the handler cannot merge them with physical values. It buffers one category at a time (self.category) and flushes the buffer when a declaration of the other category arrives, which keeps source order between two groups that are both live. property_helper! does this flush for every longhand it buffers.
• The same flush doubles as fallback handling: if a new value uses syntax some target rejects (is_compatible against the targets), the value it would replace is flushed first so that target still gets the old declaration.
• When the targets lack logical properties, flush() converts block sides into border-top-*/border-bottom-* inside the rule, but inline sides depend on text direction, so context.add_logical_rule() emits them as extra :lang()-selected rules placed after the rule. Anything emitted that way outranks the rule itself, which is why flushing a dead inline longhand changes the result while flushing a dead block longhand only costs bytes.

Outputs before and after (safari 8 targets unless noted, :lang() lists abbreviated)

Status

• Reproduced on bun 1.4.0 and main (eabb96d) through the internal CSS API with { safari: 8 } targets: .a{border-inline-start-width:3px;border-width:0} emits :lang() rules carrying border-left-width: 3px / border-right-width: 3px after the rule; with no targets the same input stays unminified.
• Fix: src/css/properties/border.rs, the BorderWidth / BorderStyle / BorderColor arms clear the overridden logical component before the flush instead of after it (kept as a fallback when a target rejects the shorthand's value).
• Tests: test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts, "4-side shorthand after a logical longhand in the same block": 25 of 31 cases fail on 1.4.0, all pass with the fix; the rest of the css suites are unchanged.
• Review: block-end cases added (24728d1), helper comment shortened (a2ff8f6); both threads replied to.

Trimmed to the two facts the code does not show on its own (why the clears come before the flush, and why a rejected value skips them) in ee2546d.

[claude]

LGTM — moving the logical-side clears ahead of the category-change flush is the right fix, and the is_compatible guard preserves the fallback path.

What was reviewed:

• Traced rect_shorthand_helper! against flush_helper!/property_helper!: category-change flush now sees cleared logical slots, has_any still set via property_helper!, physical-side ordering unchanged.
• Checked the rejected_by_a_target guard models CSS's atomic-declaration drop (.any() over all four sides) and matches the existing flush_helper! compatibility condition.
• Confirmed the cleared fields (border_block_*/border_inline_*) are only ever populated by Logical-category arms and reset on every flush(), so no physical state is dropped.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Two files changed. src/css/properties/border.rs replaces the three near-identical BorderWidth/BorderStyle/BorderColor arms in BorderHandler::handle_property with a shared rect_shorthand_helper! macro. The functional change is that the four logical-side buffers for the shorthand's component are cleared before the property_helper! calls (which trigger a category-change flush) rather than after, and the clear is skipped when any of the four shorthand values is incompatible with a target browser. test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts gains a 31-case describe block covering inline-start/end/both, block-start/end, all three components, minified and safari-8-compiled outputs, partial override, different-component non-interference, the fallback guard on both sides (safari 14 vs 16 for cqw, chrome 99 vs safari 16 for color()), reverse order, and !important.

Security risks

None. This is a CSS minifier property handler operating on already-parsed AST values; no untrusted-input parsing, no I/O, no allocation-size arithmetic derived from external data. The change only reorders when Option fields are set to None.

Level of scrutiny

Medium. The CSS property handlers are dense macro-heavy code where ordering matters (buffer → flush → reset), but the blast radius is limited to minifier output for a specific declaration pattern (logical border longhand followed by a 4-side shorthand in the same block). The PR description proves the removed declarations are dead in every writing mode for every target that accepts the shorthand, and the is_compatible guard matches the exact condition flush_helper! already uses to keep physical fallbacks. Upstream lightningcss has the same bug, so this is a genuine fix rather than a divergence from a working reference.

Other factors

• has_any = true was dropped from the arms but property_helper! sets it, so no behavior change there.
• The .any() over all four sides correctly models CSS's atomic declaration rejection — if one value is unparseable by a target, the whole border-width: a b c d is dropped, so the earlier longhand stays live.
• The four cleared fields are only written by Logical-category arms and are reset in flush(), so the pre-flush clear can never drop physical state.
• CodeRabbit's block-end coverage request was addressed in 24728d1; the comment-cop bot's length warnings were addressed in ee2546d and a2ff8f6 (final state is two one-line comments).
• No CODEOWNERS entry for src/css/. The bug-hunting system found nothing. Tests reportedly verified with USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 (25/31 fail before, 31/31 pass after) and the full css/bundler-css suites pass.

[robobun]

Review feedback so far is in: the matrix now covers the block-end longhands for all three components (24728d1, 25 of 31 cases fail on 1.4.0), and the helper's comment block was reduced to one line per statement (a2ff8f6). No functional change since the first commit.

[Jarred-Sumner]

Not taken in #47025 (7942008), which consolidated the open CSS parser pull requests. It is right or harmless, but not worth its code, the bigger output or the behavior it changes.
