Problem

• The minifier folds a longhand into a shorthand that cannot hold it: font: italic .875rem Arial; font-family: revert-layer becomes font:italic .875rem revert-layer, which browsers drop. color-scheme: inherit prints color-scheme:normal.
• font: condensed 12px foo minifies to font:75% 12px foo, also dropped (Font-stretch percentages are not supported in Chrome 143.0.7499.193 in the font shorthand rule parcel-bundler/lightningcss#1140).
• Cause: the parsers read a css-wide keyword as an identifier, and Font::to_css wrote stretch as a percentage (src/css/properties/{font,transition,ui}.rs).

Fix

• A lone css-wide keyword (now also revert-rule) or default fails FontFamily::parse and the new PropertyId::parse_custom_ident. The declaration stays Property::Unparsed.
• color-scheme is typed only when it has just the four keywords. ColorSchemeHandler still defines the light-dark() variables for an unparsed light foo.
• Font.stretch is a FontStretchKeyword. A percentage longhand becomes the equal keyword or follows the shorthand.
• Verified: test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts (97 cases fail on canary), test/js/bun/css/, test/bundler/css/, test/bundler/esbuild/css.test.ts, and a Chrome 153 comparison of 1,261 generated rules.

Background

• Property::Unparsed holds a value the typed parser rejects. Handlers never merge it.
• <custom-ident> excludes the css-wide keywords and default.
• Without light-dark() support, bun prints var() fallbacks. A color-scheme with light or dark defines their variables.
• Considered a typed light foo value, or a second grammar in the handler. One shared reader (ColorScheme::from_idents) is cheaper.

Downsides

• Speed: +0.4% to +0.8% instructions for 1,200 rules of these properties. Size: +2,560 bytes of text.
• A rejected color-scheme value (light inherit) no longer defines the variables. An unquoted @keyframes revert-rule is a parse error, like @keyframes inherit.
• With old targets, -webkit-transition:inherit;transition:inherit prints the prefixed copy twice, as transform: inherit and var() values do on main.

Notes

revert-rule

• revert-rule is a css-wide keyword in css-cascade-5 ("Rolling Back Rules: the revert-rule keyword"). Chrome 153 has it: CSS.supports("font", "12px revert-rule") and CSS.supports("transition", "revert-rule 1s") are false, and font-family: revert-rule is the keyword, not a family name.
• is_reserved_custom_ident is the one list of reserved words that these parsers read. It did not have revert-rule, so font: italic .875rem Arial; font-family: revert-rule still printed font:italic .875rem revert-rule, and transition-property: revert-rule still moved into transition. The word is in the list now.
• The other readers of the list change with it. A quoted "revert-rule" keeps its quotes in font-family, animation-name and @keyframes. Main prints it without quotes, and Chrome 153 then reads the keyword, or drops the @keyframes rule. color-scheme: light revert-rule defines no variables, because Chrome rejects the value.
• Without quotes, @keyframes revert-rule and ::view-transition-group(.revert-rule) are parse errors now ("Unexpected token: revert-rule"), as they already are for inherit. Chrome 153 drops such a @keyframes rule.

Check against Chrome

• 1,261 generated rules: font-family values in five rule shapes (alone, before and after a font shorthand, inside it, and with all seven longhands), font-stretch, transition-property in six shapes, color-scheme lists of up to three words, and animation-name. The values mix plain names, generic families, quoted names, and each reserved word alone, in upper case, beside another identifier, and as a list item.
• Chrome 153 loads the source and the bun build --minify output in two shadow roots under the same parent styles, and the computed values of 15 properties are compared per rule. The transition lists are compared up to the length of transition-property, and color-scheme as a set.
• Canary 367d939: 302 rules differ. This PR before the revert-rule commit: 28, all of them revert-rule. This PR now: 0.
• The generated names leave out a quoted multi-word name that starts with a generic family. See "Fonts and transitions".

color-scheme and light-dark()

• The grammar is normal | [ light | dark | <custom-ident> ]+ && only?. Where the targets lack light-dark(), bun prints var(--buncss-light, a) var(--buncss-dark, b), and a color-scheme that lists light or dark defines both variables.
• The first version of this PR ported fix(color-scheme): for unknown keywords, output them as-is instead of normal parcel-bundler/lightningcss#1152 as written: ColorScheme::parse consumed only its four keywords, so color-scheme: light foo became Property::Unparsed. ColorSchemeHandler matched only the typed value, so nothing defined --buncss-light and --buncss-dark. .a{color-scheme:light foo;color:light-dark(red,blue)} built to .a{color-scheme:light foo;color:var(--buncss-light,red)var(--buncss-dark,#00f)}. Both var() take their fallbacks, the value is red #00f, and Chrome 153 computes the inherited color. Main and 1.4.3 print color-scheme:light with the variables. lightningcss master has the same gap.
• Now the output is .a{--buncss-light:initial;--buncss-dark: ;color-scheme:light foo;color:var(--buncss-light,red)var(--buncss-dark,#00f)}. Chrome 153 computes red, and getComputedStyle().colorScheme is light foo, the same as for the source.
• Checked 4,690 values (every identifier list up to 4 long over normal, only, light, dark, foo, inherit, default, --x, plus values with other tokens) against Chrome's CSS.supports("color-scheme", value). The variables are defined exactly when Chrome accepts the value and it lists light or dark (453 values, 394 of them with a custom identifier). On every value Chrome accepts, main and this PR define the same variables, except where main missed an upper-case keyword.
• Main also defined the variables for 1,112 values that Chrome rejects, for example only light light inherit, which it rewrote to light only. A browser drops such a declaration and keeps the scheme from the cascade, so the variables would disagree with it. They are kept as written now and define nothing.
• ColorScheme::parse matched its keywords case-sensitively before, so color-scheme: LIGHT Dark printed normal. They match case-insensitively now, like every other keyword parser.
• color-scheme: only with no scheme is not a value (Chrome rejects it). It was typed before and printed only with a leading space. It stays unparsed now and prints as written.
• color-scheme: light var(--x) cannot be read at build time and defines no variables, as on main.
• A comment between two tokens of an unparsed value is dropped with no separator (--x:a/**/b prints ab, on main too). A declaration that this PR leaves unparsed goes through that path, so color-scheme: light/**/foo prints lightfoo. That bug is independent of this PR and is not fixed here.

Reach

• 6,387 CSS files from the npm packages and test suites on the build machine, minified for the default browser targets, merge base against this PR: 5,964 are identical. 421 hold the same declarations in a different order (868 blocks). A css-wide longhand (font-family: inherit in 789 of them) is written where it stands, with the font longhands buffered before it, and no longer at the end with the buffered group. No block changes the order of two declarations of one property, or of a shorthand and one of its longhands.
• 2 files (carbon-components) keep -webkit-transition:inherit beside transition:inherit. Main read inherit as a property name and merged the two.
• With targets that still need -webkit-transition (checked with Safari 5 and Chrome 20), .a{-webkit-transition:inherit;transition:inherit} prints .a{-webkit-transition:inherit;-webkit-transition:inherit;transition:inherit}, and each pass over its own output adds one more copy. Main prints two declarations for inherit, and already prints the extra copy for a var() value. Main also prints it for transition-duration: inherit, transform: inherit, border-radius: inherit and border-image: inherit: only transition and transition-property escaped, because inherit was read as a property name. The unparsed path of those four handlers adds the prefixed copy without a look at what the source wrote. That is on main, and it is handled as a separate change.
• Related to css: only fold font longhands into font when the rule declared a font #45459, which also edits FontHandler::flush.

Cost

Instructions for bun build --minify of one stylesheet, merge base (f2405c3) against this PR, release builds, linux x64. Counted with qemu-x86_64 -one-insn-per-tb -d exec,nochain and attributed per symbol, because the container has no hardware counters and no valgrind. The outputs are byte-identical for the three sheets.

Sheet (1,200 rules)	bun_css code	strncasecmp calls	Whole build
ordinary color-scheme	+87,001 (+0.56%)	+2,550	about +0.8% of 27.3M
font and transition shorthands	+134,100 (+0.65%)	+1,800	about +0.7% of 32.9M
font and transition, longhands and shorthands	+101,850 (+0.41%)	+1,400	about +0.4% of 39.1M

• A strncasecmp call on these short words is about 50 instructions. The whole-build column is the bun_css delta plus the calls. Raw whole-process totals vary by about 1% between runs under qemu (allocator and thread timing), so they are not used.
• Where it goes: the font shorthand tries the font-variant-caps keywords once per component (about 70 instructions per font), a lone family name gets a reserved-word check, transition-property checks a name that is not a known property, and the color-scheme keywords are compared case-insensitively (about 180 instructions per declaration).
• The port of lightningcss#1152 read the same identifier up to five times. On the previous merge base it cost +820,650 instructions on the color-scheme sheet (684 per declaration). from_idents reads each identifier once.
• A separate measurement of the earlier head of this PR reported +2.1% on a different sheet of 1,200 font and transition rules. The two sheets here gave +0.5% and +0.85% for that head.
• Binary size (size, stripped release): text 106,016,385 to 106,018,945 bytes.
• The table and the size are from d7ccd6c. The commits after it shorten comments, leave a lone only unparsed, and add revert-rule to the reserved words. The new word adds one length comparison to each reserved-word check. That is not measured again.

Fonts and transitions

• Chromium 148 with the old output: .f{font:italic .875rem revert-layer} computes font-style: normal (declaration dropped), transition:revert 1.5s computes durations 0s, font:75% 12px foo resets stretch to 100% and loses family, size and line-height. lightningcss 1.30.2 produces the same output for the font and transition cases (issues 1140 and 1214 are open there with no PR).
• transition: inherit; transition-property: bar used to print transition: bar (transition shorthand incorrectly combines inherit with other longhand sub-properties parcel-bundler/lightningcss#1214). It now keeps both declarations.
• Font::parse tested variant_caps.is_some() where upstream has is_none(). So font: small-caps 12px serif never parsed as a shorthand and passed through unminified. Restored to is_none() with tests.
• GenericFontFamily no longer lists initial, inherit, unset, default, revert, revert-layer. Upstream kept them there so that font-family: inherit would not serialize as a quoted string. That case now never reaches FamilyName (it stays unparsed), and a quoted "inherit" is still re-quoted on output through is_reserved_custom_ident. That check trims the blanks at the ends of the name first: font-family: " inherit", Georgia keeps its quotes, as on main. Printed bare, it reads back as the keyword.
• PropertyId::parse (a declaration name, used by @supports and @container) is unchanged. Only the value position goes through parse_custom_ident.
• font-family: revert; font: 12px serif used to minify to font:12px serif and now keeps the unparsed font-family:revert in front of it. Both are correct. The shorter form would need the handler to drop unparsed longhands that a later shorthand overrides, which it does not do for any property today (font-style: unset; font: 12px serif already behaves this way).
• @font-palette-values --x { font-family: inherit } used to print an empty block and now passes the (invalid) declaration through, the same as any other declaration the typed parser rejects.
• A percentage that equals a keyword value (50, 62.5, 75, 87.5, 100, 112.5, 125, 150, 200) is folded as that keyword. All nine are exact in f32, so the comparison is exact. Any other percentage stays a longhand after the shorthand.
• Not changed: the font-stretch longhand still minifies a keyword to its percentage regardless of targets, as upstream does. Percentages in the longhand are supported since Chrome 62, Firefox 61 and Safari 11.1.
• Three upstream test expectations are corrected (font with expanded, and two color-scheme cases with custom identifiers).
• A reserved word beside another identifier is a family name, and stays one: font-family: inherit foo is valid in Chrome 153 and computes to "inherit foo". Chromium and WebKit reject the first identifier only when no second one follows, and Firefox tests the joined name.
• Not changed: a quoted family name whose first word is a generic family ("sans-serif foo"), or that has a leading or doubled space, prints without quotes on main and here. Chrome rejects sans-serif foo. The unquote test in FontFamily::to_css needs its own change, and that is handled separately.

Walkthrough

The changes update font-family and font-stretch parsing and shorthand handling. They add reserved custom identifier checks for property IDs and revise color-scheme parsing and fallback handling. CSS tests cover parsing, serialization, and prefixing behavior.

Changes

CSS identifier and shorthand handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Font-family identifier handling src/css/properties/font.rs	Font-family parsing rejects lone reserved custom identifiers, and serialization quotes them. Generic font families no longer include CSS-wide and defaulting keywords.
Font-stretch shorthand handling src/css/generics.rs, src/css/properties/font.rs, test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts	The shorthand stores stretch keywords. The handler emits a stretch value separately when it has no matching keyword. Tests cover stretch serialization and font-variant parsing.
Transition property identifier parsing src/css/properties/properties_impl.rs, src/css/properties/mod.rs, src/css/properties/transition.rs, src/css/values/ident.rs, test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts	Property ID parsing rejects reserved custom identifiers, including revert-rule, and transition parsing uses that path. Tests cover transition properties and quoted or unquoted reserved animation names.
Color-scheme parsing and fallback handling src/css/properties/ui.rs, test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts	Color-scheme parsing validates identifier sequences and preserves values containing custom identifiers. The handler processes parsed or unparsed properties and emits fallback variables from recognized scheme flags. Tests cover parsing, prefixing, and fallback cases.

After: .f{font:italic .875rem Arial,sans-serif;font-family:revert-layer}.t{transition:opacity 1.5s,color 1s;transition-property:revert}.a{font:12px serif;font-family:default}.s{font:condensed 12px foo}.c{color-scheme:inherit}.d{--buncss-light:initial;--buncss-dark: ;color-scheme:light foo;color:var(--buncss-light,red)var(--buncss-dark,#00f)}.r{font:12px serif;font-family:revert-rule}

.d keeps its light-dark() variables and now also keeps foo. .r is the same fold with revert-rule, which Chrome 153 treats as a css-wide keyword (cd66c1a).

The new cases in test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts fail with USE_SYSTEM_BUN=1 (97 of them) and pass with bun bd test.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it rewrites parsing semantics for four properties (font, font-family, transition-property, color-scheme), changes the Font.stretch field type, and corrects three pre-existing test assertions — including reversing an is_some() check that a prior comment claimed was intentional — a human look is still worthwhile.

What was reviewed

• FontStretch::keyword() percentage→keyword mapping and the fallback longhand emission in FontHandler::flush — the nine keyword percentages are exact f32 values, so equality is sound.
• FontFamily::parse reserved-ident rejection only fires on a lone ident (multi-ident inherit foo and quoted "inherit" still parse), and to_css re-quotes them; is_reserved_custom_ident and expect_ident_matching are both case-insensitive.
• PropertyId::parse_custom_ident is only reached from value position (the generic Parse impl and the transition shorthand); @ supports/@ container still use the name parser PropertyId::parse.
• The new ColorScheme::parse leaves unknown idents in the input so expect_exhausted fails and the declaration stays unparsed rather than collapsing; traced only/normal ordering and the bare-only to_css path.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR fixes a class of CSS minifier correctness bugs in src/css/properties/ where the parser accepted CSS-wide keywords (inherit, revert, etc.) or percentage font-stretch values as ordinary property values, then folded them into the font / transition shorthands or collapsed color-scheme to normal — producing declarations browsers reject. The fix routes such values through Property::Unparsed by tightening FontFamily::parse, adding PropertyId::parse_custom_ident for value-position property names, rewriting ColorScheme::parse to consume only its four keywords, and narrowing Font.stretch to FontStretchKeyword so the shorthand cannot serialize a percentage. Six fake GenericFontFamily keyword variants and the ColorSchemeKeyword helper are deleted as dead. ~100 new test cases in test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts cover each keyword × property combination, plus the variant_caps is_some()→is_none() fix.

Security risks

None. This is pure CSS serialization/minification logic — no I/O, no allocation-size arithmetic on untrusted lengths, no unsafe blocks added (one raw-pointer form was replaced with expect_ident_cloned() and its SAFETY comment removed). The change makes the parser strictly more conservative: inputs it previously mangled now pass through verbatim.

Level of scrutiny

Medium. The change is self-contained to the CSS property subsystem, spec-cited (css-fonts-4 §family-name-syntax, <font-stretch-css3>, css-values-4 <custom-ident>), and cross-referenced against three upstream lightningcss issues. The bug hunt ran to dry_streak with no findings. I traced each parser rewrite against its grammar and checked that the generic Parse impl move for PropertyId doesn't leak into declaration-name callers. However, three existing test expectations were rewritten (the two lossy color-scheme assertions and the 125% in the font shorthand), and the variant_caps.is_some() reversal deletes a comment that explicitly said the old form matched upstream — the PR asserts upstream has is_none(), which is plausible but worth a human confirming since REVIEW.md flags "before deleting odd-looking code, git-blame why it was written".

Other factors

No CODEOWNERS entry covers src/css/. No prior reviews or objections on the timeline. Test coverage is thorough — parameterized loops over all six reserved keywords for each property, boundary cases (only alone, light only dark, quoted vs. unquoted reserved names, mixed-case LIGHT Dark), and a prefix_test confirming color-scheme: inherit no longer triggers the --lightningcss-light/--lightningcss-dark prefix expansion. The scope is a single coherent bug class fixed at the parse layer, but at ~365 lines with a struct field type change and multiple spec-interpretation decisions, it exceeds what I'd auto-approve without a human glance.

[robobun]

On the variant_caps question: upstream has is_none() at that spot, and has since the shorthand parser was written: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/lightningcss/blob/c6a0c3cebf3395635e61075d2c81a96a710d4910/src/properties/font.rs#L710. The inverted check came in with the original Zig port of this file (274e5a2, if (variant_caps != null) at font.zig:508) and the Rust rewrite carried it over together with the comment. With is_some() the branch can never run, so font: small-caps 12px serif fell through to FontSize::parse, failed, and the whole declaration stayed unparsed (canary prints font:small-caps bold 12px serif with bold untouched, which is the unparsed path). The new cases at css.test.ts (font: small-caps bold 12px serif and friends) fail on canary and pass here.

[robobun]

A parallel branch for the font-stretch part of this, robobun/c087b943/css-font-shorthand-stretch-keyword (b0b68a5), has the same shape: Font.stretch becomes FontStretchKeyword and a percentage that is not a keyword follows the shorthand as a font-stretch longhand. It is not opened as a PR because this one covers it.

It has a few extra cases in test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts that can be picked up here if useful: each of the eight keywords inside font under minify, @font-face { font-stretch: condensed expanded } still minifying to 75% 125%, and font: condensed 12px Arial followed or preceded by font-stretch: 80% in the same block.

[claude]

I re-reviewed the two follow-up commits (862282d, b0f517f) on top of the earlier rounds and found no new bugs; since this rewrites the color-scheme parser and changes what the font/transition minifier emits, a human look is still worthwhile before merging.

What was reviewed:

• ColorScheme::from_idents state machine against normal | [light|dark|<custom-ident>]+ && only?: lone only, only normal, normal only, light only dark, only light only, and reserved idents all return None now; from_unparsed only yields flags when the token list is pure idents/whitespace (a var() or comma drops it), and the handler falls through to the default push in that case, matching the pre-PR path.
• FontHandler::flush: a percentage stretch maps to its keyword via FontStretchKeyword::ALL or trails the shorthand as a font-stretch longhand; Font.stretch has no other constructors in the crate, and flush_helper! still compares the wrapped FontStretch.
• PropertyId::parse_custom_ident is the only Parse impl for PropertyId as a value (transition-property via SmallList<PropertyId, 1>), and vendor-prefixed names such as -webkit-inherit still parse as custom property names; other <custom-ident> consumers go through CustomIdent::parse, which already rejects the reserved words.

Extended reasoning...

The diff touches the Rust CSS crate only (font, transition, color-scheme parsers and handlers, plus a trait-impl relocation in properties/mod.rs) and adds roughly 200 lines of minify/prefix tests; it touches no security-sensitive surface. The latest two commits are comment trimming and the lone-only fix from the previous round, which I verified in from_idents and the test list. Not approving because the change replaces a parser and alters minifier output (trailing font-stretch longhand, Unparsed color-scheme values now handled by ColorSchemeHandler), which is behavior a maintainer of src/css should weigh; the earlier pre-existing inline note on quoted family names at src/css/properties/font.rs:406 is still open but was flagged as non-blocking. No CODEOWNERS entry covers src/css.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Beyond the inline finding, I also checked: the two remaining PropertyId::parse callers (src/css/rules/supports.rs:315, src/css/rules/container.rs:147) read a property name, not a <custom-ident>, so they are correctly left on the old parser; FontStretchKeyword::ALL lists all nine enum variants; and no match arm in src/ still references the deleted GenericFontFamily css-wide variants.

Extended reasoning...

The diff rewires three CSS value parsers (font-family, transition-property, color-scheme) to reject css-wide keywords, changes the Font shorthand's stretch field to a keyword type with a longhand fallback in FontHandler::finalize, and touches no security-sensitive surface. One confirmed behavioral regression (duplicated -webkit-transition:inherit under old targets) is posted inline, so a human look is warranted; the note records sibling sites and enum-sync checks that were ruled out this run.

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

• 🟡 src/css/properties/transition.rs — Users building with targets that still need -webkit-transition get a duplicated -webkit-transition:inherit for a block that lists both the prefixed and unprefixed declaration, and the copy count grows on every re-minify. Since transition: inherit now fails PropertyId::parse_custom_ident and lands in the Property::Unparsed branch at transition.rs:327-334, each unprefixed copy is expanded by get_prefixed with no merge against the prefixed sibling. Fix: in the unparsed transition path, merge or dedupe an unparsed value against a same-valued prefixed sibling (as the typed path does) before expanding prefixes, so the output is idempotent; this is pre-existing for var() values but css-wide keywords now take the same route.

  Why this was flagged

  Input .a{-webkit-transition:inherit;transition:inherit} with browser targets where Feature::Transition still needs the webkit prefix goes through TransitionHandler::handle_property. On the base branch transition: inherit parsed as a typed Transition whose property was PropertyId::Custom("inherit"), so the handler merged the two declarations and printed the prefixed and unprefixed form once each. After this change PropertyId::parse_custom_ident (src/css/properties/properties_impl.rs:37-46) rejects inherit, so both declarations become Property::Unparsed and hit src/css/properties/transition.rs:327-334, which flushes and pushes x.get_prefixed(...). get_prefixed (src/css/properties/custom.rs:1483-1495) leaves the webkit-prefixed copy alone but expands the unprefixed one to webkit|none, so the output is -webkit-transition:inherit;-webkit-transition:inherit;transition:inherit, and running the minifier over its own output adds one more -webkit-transition:inherit each pass. No safeguard dedupes unparsed declarations in the transition handler.

  Verification: The PR description's "Downsides" states "With old targets, -webkit-transition:inherit;transition:inherit prints the prefixed copy twice, as var() values do on main" and that each pass adds one more copy; both claims hold against the code. The Property::Unparsed arm (transition.rs:327-334) pushes x.get_prefixed(...) with no comparison with any previously pushed unparsed sibling.

[robobun]

On the duplicated -webkit-transition:inherit with old targets: that is the behaviour of the unparsed prefix path, and main already has it for css-wide keywords on the other properties that take that path. With targets { safari: 4, chrome: 4, firefox: 3 } on 1.4.3-canary.1+367d939d9 (cssInternals.prefixTest):

Source	Output on main
-webkit-transform:inherit;transform:inherit	-webkit-transform: inherit; -webkit-transform: inherit; transform: inherit
-webkit-transition-duration:inherit;transition-duration:inherit	-webkit-transition-duration: inherit; -webkit-transition-duration: inherit; transition-duration: inherit
-webkit-border-radius:inherit;border-radius:inherit	-webkit-border-radius: inherit; -webkit-border-radius: inherit; -moz-border-radius: inherit; border-radius: inherit
-webkit-border-image:inherit;border-image:inherit	-webkit-border-image: inherit; -webkit-border-image: inherit; border-image: inherit
-webkit-transition:var(--x);transition:var(--x)	-webkit-transition: var(--x); -webkit-transition: var(--x); transition: var(--x)
-webkit-transition:inherit;transition:inherit	-webkit-transition: inherit; transition: inherit
-webkit-transition-property:inherit;transition-property:inherit	-webkit-transition-property: inherit; transition-property: inherit

The last two rows print once on main only because inherit is read there as a property name, which is the misparse this PR removes. With this PR they print like the rows above them.

The cause is shared. The Property::Unparsed arms of the transition, transform, border-radius and border-image handlers push get_prefixed(...) (src/css/properties/custom.rs) and do not look at what the source already wrote. A check in the transition arm alone would leave transition-duration: inherit, transform: inherit and every var() value as they are. So the fix belongs in that shared path, and it is handled as a separate change. The PR body lists the duplicate under Downsides.

[robobun]

#46953 adds nine test.todo rows to test/js/bun/css/css.test.ts that this PR makes pass: a lone revert-rule in animation, animation-name, font-family, transition, transition-property, view-transition-class, view-transition-group, view-transition-name and color-scheme, as .a{P:initial}.a{P:revert-rule}.

With the word reserved, those values reach the token list, and #46953 then keeps the two rules apart. The PR that lands second must turn the rows into minify_test rows. CI does not run the body of a test.todo, so nothing reports it.

Part of this landed in #47025 (7942008). Its description says what was taken.

CSS-wide keywords are not names: font:12px Arial;font-family:inherit printed font:12px inherit, color-scheme:inherit and color-scheme:auto printed normal, transition-property:unset was folded into transition. 2 real stylesheets

[robobun]

Thanks. I checked what is left of this branch against a build of 7942008, with this branch's tests and its Chrome comparison.

• font-family, transition-property, transition, font-stretch inside font, font: small-caps ..., quoted reserved names, and revert-rule behave on main as they do on this branch. The Chrome 153 comparison of 1,261 generated rules (source against --minify output, computed style) finds no differing rule for fonts, transitions or animation names.
• 95 of the 1,261 rules still differ on main. All are color-scheme values that have a scheme keyword beside another identifier:
  • 67 have a reserved word, for example light inherit. Chrome rejects the source, and main prints color-scheme:light.
  • 28 have a custom identifier. Main prints light foo as light, which renders the same. It prints only foo as only, which Chrome rejects.
• font: 12px foo; font-stretch: 75% prints font:12px foo;font-stretch:75% on main and font:condensed 12px foo on this branch. Both are valid, so that is size only.

This branch kept those color-scheme values as written. I do not plan a follow-up for them, because they are not values that stylesheets use. If they are wanted, say so and I will open a small PR on top of main.
