feat(es/minifier): Merge duplicate imports

[kdy1]

Implement feature to merge duplicate named imports from the same module during minification to reduce bundle size.

• Add merge_duplicate_imports option to CompressOptions (defaults to false)
• Create merge_duplicate_imports function in pure optimizer that directly iterates over ModuleItems
• Handle named, default, and namespace imports correctly without creating new visitor
• Preserve import semantics while merging compatible imports
• Add test case for various import merging scenarios

Fixes #11133

I'll review this pull request for code quality, potential issues, performance, security, and test coverage.

Todo List:

• Read repository guidelines (CLAUDE.md) - No specific guidelines found
• Examine the implementation in changed files
• Review code quality and best practices
• Check for potential bugs or edge cases
• Assess performance considerations
• Look for security concerns
• Evaluate test coverage
• Provide comprehensive review feedback

Code Review Summary

I've thoroughly analyzed the implementation of the merge duplicate imports feature. Overall, this is a solid implementation with good test coverage, but there are several areas for improvement:

✅ Strengths

1. Comprehensive import merging logic - Handles named, default, and namespace imports correctly
2. Good separation of concerns - Import merging is isolated in its own method
3. Effective test coverage - Test demonstrates the core functionality works
4. Proper integration - Made unconditional as requested, removing the configuration option

⚠️ Issues Found

Critical: Duplicate Detection Logic

The duplicate detection logic in merge_duplicate_imports() has a significant flaw:

Location: crates/swc_ecma_minifier/src/compress/pure/mod.rs:138-148

let named_imported = match &named.imported {
    Some(ModuleExportName::Ident(ident)) => &ident.sym,
    None => &named.local.sym,  // ❌ BUG: Should check local names
    _ => continue,
};

Problem: The logic incorrectly compares imported names instead of local binding names, which could cause incorrect merging when imports have different local names but same imported names.

Example Bug:

import { foo } from 'lib';
import { foo as bar } from 'lib';
// ❌ Would incorrectly deduplicate, losing the 'bar' binding

Fix: Compare local names for duplicate detection:

// Instead of comparing imported names, compare local names
if named.local.sym == existing_named.local.sym {
    should_add = false;
    break;
}

Performance Concerns

1. O(n²) complexity - Nested loops for duplicate checking could be slow with many imports
2. Cloning overhead - spec.clone() on line 186 creates unnecessary allocations
3. Multiple source map iterations - Could be optimized with single pass

Location: crates/swc_ecma_minifier/src/compress/pure/mod.rs:125-189

Edge Case Handling

1. Incomplete pattern matching: Line 141 _ => continue silently ignores ModuleExportName::Str cases
2. Missing validation: No validation that import sources are actually mergeable
3. Namespace import restrictions: Lines 164-182 have complex logic that could be simplified

Code Quality Issues

1. Method placement: merge_duplicate_imports should be in a separate utilities module rather than in the main Pure struct
2. Error handling: No error handling for malformed import declarations
3. Documentation: Missing documentation for the complex merge logic

🔍 Security Assessment

• ✅ No security vulnerabilities identified
• ✅ No injection vectors or unsafe operations
• ✅ Proper handling of user input through AST parsing

📊 Test Coverage Assessment

Current Test: crates/swc_ecma_minifier/tests/fixture/issues/11133/

• ✅ Tests basic merging functionality
• ✅ Tests aliased imports (add as addAgain)
• ❌ Missing edge case tests:
  • Same imported name with different local names
  • Namespace imports mixed with named imports
  • Invalid/malformed import declarations
  • Large number of imports (performance testing)

🚀 Recommendations

1. Fix the duplicate detection bug (Critical)
2. Add comprehensive edge case tests
3. Optimize performance for large codebases
4. Improve error handling and validation
5. Add inline documentation for complex logic
6. Consider extracting utilities for better code organization

The core functionality works well for common cases, but the duplicate detection bug needs immediate attention before this can be safely merged into production.

Request Completed ✅

I've successfully removed the merge_duplicate_imports option and made import deduplication unconditional as requested by @kdy1.

Todo List:

• Read repository guidelines (CLAUDE.md)
• Examine current implementation to understand the option system
• Remove merge_duplicate_imports option from CompressOptions
• Update pure optimizer to run import deduplication unconditionally
• Update test configuration
• Test the changes
• Update PR body appropriately
• Commit and push changes

Changes Made:

1. Removed merge_duplicate_imports option from CompressOptions struct in mod.rs:391 and its default value
2. Updated Terser compatibility by removing the option from terser.rs:418
3. Made import deduplication unconditional in pure/mod.rs:926 - removed the if condition
4. Updated test config to use empty compress options since the feature is now always enabled
5. Verified build succeeds - compilation completed successfully

Key Changes:

• crates/swc_ecma_minifier/src/option/mod.rs: Removed the merge_duplicate_imports field and its default value
• crates/swc_ecma_minifier/src/option/terser.rs: Removed the option from Terser compatibility
• crates/swc_ecma_minifier/src/compress/pure/mod.rs: Made merge_duplicate_imports() run unconditionally
• crates/swc_ecma_minifier/tests/fixture/issues/11133/config.json: Updated test config

The import deduplication feature now runs unconditionally during minification, eliminating the need for users to explicitly enable it. The PR description has been updated in the commit message to reflect these changes.
