What was wrong

Lowering a class with standard decorators (or a bare accessor) moved part of the class out of its body: decorated fields into the constructor, decorated static fields and every static block to after the class, decorator lists to before it. Whatever moved lost the context it was written in, and whatever stayed ran in a different order:

class A { @dec a = 1; b = this.a }          // b saw a === undefined: `b` stayed, `a` moved
class A extends B { @dec x = 1 }            // B's `set x` ran: `this.x = …` instead of a field
class A { @dec static x = this }            // `this` was the module's
class A extends B { @dec static x = super.y; static { super.z } }   // SyntaxError
const C = class Foo { @dec static s = Foo.f() }                     // ReferenceError: Foo
class A { accessor x; static #m; static { this.#m } }               // SyntaxError: #m (#31921)
class A { @dec m() {} #q = 1; d = this.#q }                         // SyntaxError: #q (#28118)
class A { static accessor a; static {} static accessor b }          // ran a, b, block

Every #private member was turned into a WeakMap as soon as one member was decorated, so that moved code could still reach it, and the hand-written walker that rewrites those accesses misses many forms (this.#x++, this.#x ??= v, nested functions and classes, parameter defaults).

The fix

lower_class_body (src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs, mostly rewritten: +912 −1889) no longer moves members. Fields, static blocks and undecorated #private members stay native, so order, [[Define]] semantics, this, super, new.target and private names are right by construction instead of by rewriting. What the runtime helpers need is added around them:

class A extends (_base = B) {
  static {                                  // first static element
    _init = __decoratorStart(_base);
    __decorateElement(_init, 1, "m", _dec2, this);
    __decorateElement(_init, 5, "a", _dec, this);
    __decoratorMetadata(_init, this);
  }
  [(_dec = [dec], "a")] = __runInitializers(_init, 8, this, 1);      // still a field
  b = (__runInitializers(_init, 11, this), this.a);                  // a's extra initializers, then b
  [(_dec2 = [dec], "m")]() {}
}
  • Decorator lists are evaluated in the computed key of their member. That is their position in the spec: in order with computed keys, with the outer this / await / arguments, inside the class's private scope, before the class binding is initialized. A decorated #private member has no key and borrows a neighbor's. A class with no usable key at all (only #private members and a constructor) gets a static [(lists, "__decorators")]() {} that the leading block deletes first.
  • A leading static {} applies the decorators in the helper's order, the class decorators last, so they run before any static field, as the spec says.
  • Decorated fields keep their place and wrap their initializer. Decorated static fields are followed by a static {} for their extra initializers.
  • Between two instance fields there is nowhere to put a statement, so accessor storage, lowered #private fields and extra initializers ride in the initializer of the next instance field, or in the constructor after the last one. An anonymous function or class in that initializer is still named by its field: h = (effects, { h: () => {} }.h) (the JIT sinks the object; 1e7 constructions measure the same with and without it).
  • Only #private names with a decorated member become WeakMaps, because __decorateElement reaches them through __privateGet. The access rewriter now also walks nested functions, classes, parameter and destructuring defaults and object keys.
  • An undecorated accessor #x is a plain #x field. A class with only accessors gets no _init and no Symbol.metadata. A class expression without class decorators is returned as is, so its context names it; (class { @dec x }).name is "", not _class$1. The inner binding that used to name such classes (and captured references to outer variables of the same name) is gone.
  • The extra initializers of class decorators still run after the class is bound to its name, so they can refer to it.
  • LowerUsingDeclarationsContext::finalize (p.rs) moves every export class in front of the try it wraps a module with top-level using in. A lowered class applies its decorators in a static block and evaluates their lists in its keys, so an exported class with static blocks or computed keys now stays in place as var A = class A {} plus an export clause, like exported consts already do.
  • The generic ReplaceThis / ReplaceRef tree rewriter, static block extraction (and its arrow IIFE), inner_class_ref (let _Foo = Foo, which nothing read) and the prop_copy / class_copy ptr::reads are deleted. No new runtime helpers.
  • RuntimeTranspilerCache version 31 → 32.

Behaviour that changes on purpose

  • Static fields and static blocks of a class with class decorators now run after the class decorators (spec, tsc); before, undecorated ones ran first.
  • When a class decorator returns a different class, static members stay on the class as written, and a static block that names its own class sees that one too (methods and fields already did). @wrap class A { @dec static accessor n = 1 }; A.n now throws like the native static #n on a subclass does; 1.4.1 installed decorated static members on what the decorator returned.
  • Decorated fields are defined, not assigned (the second example above).

Tests

All in test/bundler/transpiler/es-decorators.test.ts (68 → 416 tests):

Cost

Release builds of the same tree with and without src/, bun build of 3000 decorated classes (1.1 MB), user-space instructions: 529.8 M → 520.0 M bundled, 437.3 M → 429.4 M with --no-bundle, 568.4 M → 552.9 M with --minify. 3000 undecorated classes: 197.7 M → 197.6 M. The binary is 28 KB smaller. The output for that fixture is 6% larger (static blocks and computed keys).

Not in this PR

  • this.#x++, this.#x += v, destructuring and for-of targets, o?.#x and tagged templates on a decorated #x still print invalid or wrong code, and super in a decorated #m() is a SyntaxError: its body still becomes a function expression. Both are unchanged; undecorated privates no longer reach that path. Fixing them needs __privateWrapper / __superGet-style runtime helpers.
  • Effects after the last instance field go into the constructor after a top-level super(...) statement, as before. const r = super() or if (x) super(); else super() still puts them first. When an instance field follows, they now ride in it and this works.
  • With TypeScript's useDefineForClassFields: false, fields of a decorated class are still defined, as on main.
  • From the previous revision of this PR, dropped: the __superGet / __superSet / __superWrapper / __privateWrapper helpers and the rewriters that used them (no longer needed for static code), the parse errors for @x static {} and parameter decorators in JS (parser: reject parameter decorators without experimentalDecorators #35544), and var {…} = require("bun:wrap") for CommonJS-wrapped modules (a decorated class in a .cjs file still fails to load; it is a module wrapper bug, not a lowering one).
  • A class expression evaluated more than once still shares its var temporaries: js_parser: declare decorator lowering temporaries per iteration inside loops (stacked on #38734) #38933, js_parser: declare decorator lowering temporaries per evaluation in parameter defaults and field initializers #38904.

Status: the branch carries the rewrite from 16b81df and cddbd20 (members stay where they are written), plus three small commits for the last review round (2d45ffa, 798bec0, d83b736). The description above is current.

Reproduced the reports on bun 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 with plain bun file.js: init b (a NOT set), BASE SETTER 1, 3 1 2, Cannot reference undeclared private names. Each is a test in test/bundler/transpiler/es-decorators.test.ts. The file passes 418 tests on d83b736 and fails 351 of the first 416 on 1.4.2.

The CommonJS bun:wrap import and the misplaced decorator errors are no longer part of this PR. #38012 and #35544 have them, except @x static {}, which has no PR yet.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked the capture_private_receiver path — chained receivers are captured into a temp before the get/set pair, so a.b.#x += 1 evaluates a.b once; and the CJS runtime-import fix — generate_runtime_require_stmt is gated on wrap_mode == BunCommonjs only, so ESM/none paths still get the import form.

Extended reasoning...

The three confirmed findings already flag the substantive gaps in rewrite_expr (write-position super, unvisited computed keys / arrow defaults, and the useDefineForClassFields: false uninitialized-field emission). The five ruled-out candidates were all duplicates or subsets of those same two ReplaceSuper / rewrite_expr coverage issues. I looked at two adjacent areas the findings do not cover: the new receiver-capture for lowered-private compound assignment (it hoists the receiver into a single temp before emitting the get/set pair, so side-effecting receivers along a chain are not re-evaluated), and the parse_entry.rs runtime-import branch (the require("bun:wrap") form is only taken under BunCommonjs, leaving the existing ESM emission path untouched). Nothing further to add beyond the inline comments.

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

  • 🔴 src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs:592 — rewrite_moved_static_expr misses this/super/inner-class-name inside object computed keys and arrow default parameters, so undecorated static members that used to stay in the class body now break when moved out [also at: src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs:602 - rewrite_expr skips EClass entirely, so this/super/the inner class name inside a nested class expression's…]

    Extended reasoning...

    rewrite_expr (the walker rewrite_moved_static_expr drives for ReplaceThis / ReplaceSuper / ReplaceRef) never recurses into prop.key of an EObject (lines 570-579) nor into e.args of an EArrow (lines 589-592). This PR now routes every static field initializer and static block of a class with any decorated member through rewrite_moved_static_expr (lines 1310-1334, 1848-1870, moved_initializer! at 1958-1974), whereas on the base branch undecorated static members stayed in the class body and evaluated natively.

    Concrete regression: in class C { @ dec m() {} static k = "a"; static x = { [this.k]: 1 }; }, or const E = class Named { @ dec m() {} static f = (a = Named.k) => a; }, the base branch left the undecorated static x / static f in the body so this === C / Named was in scope; after this change the initializer is relocated after the class, this.k in the object key (or Named / this in the arrow default) is not rewritten, and module load throws TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'k') (ESM strict this === undefined) or…

    Verification: normal — The walker gap is real and the PR newly exposes previously-working code to it. Gap 1 — EObject computed keys (lower_decorators.rs:570-579): the EObject arm visits only prop.value and prop.initializer, never prop.key. A computed key { [this.foo]: v } has this in prop.key, which is skipped. Gap 2 — EArrow default params (lower_decorators.rs:589-592): the EArrow arm…

Working on it: the member matrix becomes one test per cell and mode, with two more dimensions (class decorator present, derived class), plus more transpiler output checks.

Done in ce1072b: the suite went from 24 to 1139 tests.

  • The member matrix now has five dimensions: kind (field, method, getter, setter, accessor) x instance/static x public/private x class decorator present x derived class. Each cell is a class with undecorated instance, private and static fields and a static block around the decorated member, and each cell is its own test in each of the 11 modes (.js, .ts, .cjs, .cts, .js with module.exports, useDefineForClassFields: false for .ts and .cts, and bun build for four of them). The decorator also replaces every member kind with one that appends !, so a cell shows the decorator result landed on the right member and nothing else.
  • A new ES decorators lowering output block checks the transpiled shape: field placement and [[Define]] vs [[Set]] forms, hoisted computed keys, distinct temporaries for sibling classes, the this and super rewrites, private member updates, private method brands, parameter properties, named class expressions, static block IIFEs, and that a class without decorators is printed unchanged.
  • The super section now compares against node's output for the same class without the decorator, including compound and update assignments and a computed key with side effects.

Runs in about 8 s on the debug build. On bun 1.4.0, 1 of the 1139 passes (the unchanged-class check).

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

  • 🔴 src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs:779 — ReplaceSuper has no tagged-template arm, so a relocated static x = super.m`tpl` calls m with this === undefined instead of the class

    Extended reasoning...

    The RewriteKind::ReplaceSuper block (lines 598-715) special-cases bare super.x, ECall with a super.x target, compound/update assignments, and unary update — but not ETemplate. A tagged template super.m`...` therefore falls through to the generic walker, whose ETemplate arm at lines 771-779 recurses into e.tag; the tag super.m then matches the bare-read case at line 599 and is replaced with Reflect.get(Object.getPrototypeOf(C), "m", C). The emitted code is Reflect.get(...)`tpl` , which invokes m with this === undefined because a call-expression result is not a Reference and carries no receiver, whereas native super.m`tpl` invokes it with this === C. Relative to the base branch this is a regression: on base only decorated static fields left the class body, so an undecorated static tag = super.fmt`hello` beside @ dec m(){} stayed in the body and ran natively; after this change every static field of a decorated class is relocated and the same source now calls fmt with the wrong receiver (any this.xxx inside fmt throws `TypeError: Cannot read…

    Verification: normal — The RewriteKind::ReplaceSuper variant is entirely new in this PR (the diff shows the enum going from {ReplaceRef, ReplaceThis} to also include ReplaceSuper), and its match arm at src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs:598-715 special-cases only four shapes: bare super.x/super[x] (line 599), ECall with a super-property target (line 604), EBinary… | normal — The…

  • 🟣 src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs:1161 — Private-access rewriter turns this.#x in a destructuring target into __privateGet(...), an invalid assignment LHS

    Extended reasoning...

    rewrite_private_accesses_in_expr special-cases obj.#x = v (line 1095-1107), obj.#x op= v (1109-1143), #x in obj (1145-1154) and ++/--obj.#x (1203-1243), but a destructuring assignment falls through: for [this.#x] = arr or ({k: this.#y} = o) the EBinary/BinAssign arm sees e.left as EArray/EObject, misses the EIndex guard at 1096, and recurses generically at 1156-1161. The EArray/EObject arms then reach each pattern element as a plain EIndex (line 1079-1088) and rewrite it to __privateGet(this, _x) — a call expression on the left of an assignment. The output is [__privateGet(this, _x)] = arr, which JSC rejects with SyntaxError: Left side of assignment is not a reference.

    Relative to base this is a regression: previously an undecorated #x next to @ dec a = 1 stayed a native private field, so m() { [this.#x] = [1] } ran unchanged; now every private member of a decorated class is lowered and every method body is rewritten via Phase 5 (lines 2773-2799), so the same source no longer loads. The fix must detect lowered-private targets inside…

    Verification: normal — The mechanism is exactly as described and produces unparseable output. At src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs:1095-1096, the BinAssign special case only fires when e.left is directly an EIndex: rust if e.op == js_ast::OpCode::BinAssign { if let js_ast::ExprData::EIndex(left_idx) = &mut e.left.data { For [this.#x] = arr or ({k: this.#y} = o), e.left is…

e7eeb9e addresses the second review round:

  • super in relocated static code now goes through __superGet / __superSet / __superWrapper from bun:wrap (esbuild's helper shape), so a local Reflect or Object cannot shadow it, and __superSet returns the assigned value.
  • super.m?.() checks the looked-up method; super.tag\x`binds the receiver;[super.x] = vandfor (super.x of v)use__superWrapper(...)._`.
  • Private methods extracted from the class keep their super (home object C.prototype for instance methods, C for static ones).
  • Lowered private members as template tags bind their receiver; as destructuring or for-of targets they use the new __privateWrapper.

Each form is checked against node's output for the same class without the decorator (superForms and privateForms in the fixture, with Reflect and Object shadowed), plus output-shape tests. Now 1163 tests.

13a9a0e: __superSet now throws the strict-mode TypeError when the underlying [[Set]] fails (a getter-only or read-only property on the base class), matching the native super.x = v. The two bundler snapshots that embed a content hash of the runtime module (html-import-manifest, cyclic-imports-async-bundler) are updated for the new helpers; nothing else in those outputs changed. Test housekeeping from the review: single-file cases use bun -e from a tsconfig-free cwd, the stderr filter is gone, and the per-mode setup hook has the same generous timeout as the esbuild suite.

1c58acd folds in the open PRs that fixed parts of this lowering one at a time. I ran each of their test suites against this branch.

Covered, closing in favor of this PR: #31405 (private names in static blocks), #31922 (this and the inner class name in relocated static initializers), #38734 (unique temporary names). #38734 had three cases this branch missed, ported here with tests:

  • accessor "x y" = 1 named its WeakMap _x y, which does not parse. Keys that are not identifiers now use the _accessor_storage<n> counter.
  • When bundling, two class expressions in sibling blocks shared _x and _init: the symbols were registered with the block scope of the class, but the var that declares them hoists to the function or module scope. new_sym now registers them with the var-hoisting scope (declared_symbols at the top level, scope.generated below it).
  • When bundling, the _obj temporary that captures a private call receiver (this.self().#secret()) was never recorded as a declared symbol, so it kept the name _obj next to a user const _obj. All capture temporaries now go through the same registration, and print as _obj$5, _tmp$6 without a renamer.

The fixture gains five sections (staticBlockPrivate, relocatedScopes, temporaryNames, temporaryScopes, accessorKeys), run in all 11 modes. The body lists the issues those PRs fixed.

Mostly covered since e7eeb9e, left open with a note: #38769 and #38730 (super in extracted private methods and relocated static code). Two of their cases still differ from the native class here:

function dec() {}
class Base { greet() { return "base"; } static n = 1; }
const swap = (cls) => class extends cls { greet() { return "replacement:" + super.greet(); } };
@swap class C extends Base {
  @dec m() {}
  greet() { return "c:" + super.greet(); }
  #im() { return super.greet(); }
  run() { return this.#im(); }
  static { try { delete super.n; } catch (e) { C.deleted = e.constructor.name; } }
}
console.log(new C().run(), C.deleted);
// native: "base" "ReferenceError"
// this branch: "c:base" undefined

The home object of #im is the original class's prototype, so super.greet must skip the replaced class's own greet. SuperHome::Prototype(class_name_ref) points at the replacement once a class decorator ran. delete super.x always throws a ReferenceError.

Not covered: #38904 and #38933 declare the temporaries per evaluation for a class expression in a parameter default, a field initializer or a loop body. Here (and in esbuild 0.25) the var temporaries are shared across evaluations, so the second class reads the first one's WeakMap.

@robobun actually don't

…`impl P`

`is_constructor`, `is_constant_key`, `initializer_group` and the splice after
`super()` do not depend on the parser's type parameters, so they are free
functions compiled once. `decorated_initializer` returns a struct instead of
a pair of `Expr`s.

Include heritage expressions and ordinary static field initializers in runs_code.

finalize emits excluded exported classes in result before the generated try. The transformed top-level using remains inside that try. Therefore, when using precedes an exported class, an extends expression or ordinary static field initializer can run before the using initializer. Broaden the relocation predicate to keep these class evaluation forms in source order.

### What was wrong

Lowering a class with standard decorators (or a bare `accessor`) moved
part of the class out of its body: decorated fields into the
constructor, decorated static fields and every static block to after the
class, decorator lists to before it. Whatever moved lost the context it
was written in, and whatever stayed ran in a different order:

```js
class A { @dec a = 1; b = this.a }          // b saw a === undefined: `b` stayed, `a` moved
class A extends B { @dec x = 1 }            // B's `set x` ran: `this.x = …` instead of a field
class A { @dec static x = this }            // `this` was the module's
class A extends B { @dec static x = super.y; static { super.z } }   // SyntaxError
const C = class Foo { @dec static s = Foo.f() }                     // ReferenceError: Foo
class A { accessor x; static #m; static { this.#m } }               // SyntaxError: #m (oven-sh#31921)
class A { @dec m() {} #q = 1; d = this.#q }                         // SyntaxError: #q (oven-sh#28118)
class A { static accessor a; static {} static accessor b }          // ran a, b, block
```

Every `#private` member was turned into a WeakMap as soon as one member
was decorated, so that moved code could still reach it, and the
hand-written walker that rewrites those accesses misses many forms
(`this.#x++`, `this.#x ??= v`, nested functions and classes, parameter
defaults).

### The fix

`lower_class_body` (`src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs`, mostly
rewritten: +912 −1889) no longer moves members. Fields, static blocks
and undecorated `#private` members stay native, so order, [[Define]]
semantics, `this`, `super`, `new.target` and private names are right by
construction instead of by rewriting. What the runtime helpers need is
added around them:

```js
class A extends (_base = B) {
  static {                                  // first static element
    _init = __decoratorStart(_base);
    __decorateElement(_init, 1, "m", _dec2, this);
    __decorateElement(_init, 5, "a", _dec, this);
    __decoratorMetadata(_init, this);
  }
  [(_dec = [dec], "a")] = __runInitializers(_init, 8, this, 1);      // still a field
  b = (__runInitializers(_init, 11, this), this.a);                  // a's extra initializers, then b
  [(_dec2 = [dec], "m")]() {}
}
```

- **Decorator lists** are evaluated in the computed key of their member.
That is their position in the spec: in order with computed keys, with
the outer `this` / `await` / `arguments`, inside the class's private
scope, before the class binding is initialized. A decorated `#private`
member has no key and borrows a neighbor's. A class with no usable key
at all (only `#private` members and a constructor) gets a `static
[(lists, "__decorators")]() {}` that the leading block deletes first.
- **A leading `static {}`** applies the decorators in the helper's
order, the class decorators last, so they run before any static field,
as the spec says.
- **Decorated fields** keep their place and wrap their initializer.
Decorated static fields are followed by a `static {}` for their extra
initializers.
- **Between two instance fields** there is nowhere to put a statement,
so accessor storage, lowered `#private` fields and extra initializers
ride in the initializer of the next instance field, or in the
constructor after the last one. An anonymous function or class in that
initializer is still named by its field: `h = (effects, { h: () => {}
}.h)` (the JIT sinks the object; 1e7 constructions measure the same with
and without it).
- **Only `#private` names with a decorated member become WeakMaps**,
because `__decorateElement` reaches them through `__privateGet`. The
access rewriter now also walks nested functions, classes, parameter and
destructuring defaults and object keys.
- An undecorated `accessor #x` is a plain `#x` field. A class with only
accessors gets no `_init` and no `Symbol.metadata`. A class expression
without class decorators is returned as is, so its context names it;
`(class { @dec x }).name` is `""`, not `_class$1`. The inner binding
that used to name such classes (and captured references to outer
variables of the same name) is gone.
- The extra initializers of class decorators still run after the class
is bound to its name, so they can refer to it.
- `LowerUsingDeclarationsContext::finalize` (`p.rs`) moves every `export
class` in front of the `try` it wraps a module with top-level `using`
in. A lowered class applies its decorators in a static block and
evaluates their lists in its keys, so an exported class with static
blocks or computed keys now stays in place as `var A = class A {}` plus
an export clause, like exported `const`s already do.
- The generic `ReplaceThis` / `ReplaceRef` tree rewriter, static block
extraction (and its arrow IIFE), `inner_class_ref` (`let _Foo = Foo`,
which nothing read) and the `prop_copy` / `class_copy` `ptr::read`s are
deleted. No new runtime helpers.
- `RuntimeTranspilerCache` version 31 → 32.

### Behaviour that changes on purpose

- Static fields and static blocks of a class with **class decorators**
now run after the class decorators (spec, tsc); before, undecorated ones
ran first.
- When a class decorator **returns a different class**, static members
stay on the class as written, and a static block that names its own
class sees that one too (methods and fields already did). `@wrap class A
{ @dec static accessor n = 1 }; A.n` now throws like the native `static
#n` on a subclass does; 1.4.1 installed decorated static members on what
the decorator returned.
- Decorated fields are defined, not assigned (the second example above).

### Tests

All in `test/bundler/transpiler/es-decorators.test.ts` (68 → 416 tests):

- "members stay where they are written": 18 single-purpose tests (order,
[[Define]], static order, `new.target`, `super`, decorator lists in key
position, class decorators before static fields, anonymous class names,
function names on fields that carry effects, classes with no usable key,
exported class next to a lowered `using`). 12 fail on 1.4.1; the other 6
pin what 1.4.1 already did right and the new placement has to keep.
- "ES decorators lowering matrix" (330 tests, built from the fixture of
the previous revision): member kind × static × private × class decorator
× derived, each cell a class with undecorated instance, private and
static fields and a static block around the decorated member, run as
`.js`, `.ts` and through `bun build`; plus fixture sections for the
reported repros (oven-sh#28118, oven-sh#31917, oven-sh#31921, oven-sh#31929) and for `super` /
`this` / private forms in static code, checked against what node prints
for the undecorated class. On 1.4.1 the fixture does not load.
- Unchanged and passing: `es-decorators-esbuild.test.ts` (esbuild's 147
decorator tests), `decorators.test.ts`, `decorator-metadata.test.ts`,
`bundler_edgecase.test.ts`, `transpiler.test.js`,
`ts-use-define-for-class-fields.test.ts`,
`lower-using-bun-target.test.ts`, `regression/issue/{27526,27575}`.
- I also compared 500 randomly generated classes (all member kinds,
static / private / computed, class and member decorators, `extends`,
explicit constructors) against TypeScript's ES2022 decorator emit under
node, as `bun run`, `bun build` and `bun build --minify`: no difference
except 8 cases where tsc's own output throws (anonymous class with a
static accessor).

### Cost

Release builds of the same tree with and without `src/`, `bun build` of
3000 decorated classes (1.1 MB), user-space instructions: 529.8 M →
520.0 M bundled, 437.3 M → 429.4 M with `--no-bundle`, 568.4 M → 552.9 M
with `--minify`. 3000 undecorated classes: 197.7 M → 197.6 M. The binary
is 28 KB smaller. The output for that fixture is 6% larger (static
blocks and computed keys).

### Not in this PR

- `this.#x++`, `this.#x += v`, destructuring and `for-of` targets,
`o?.#x` and tagged templates **on a decorated `#x`** still print invalid
or wrong code, and `super` in a decorated `#m()` is a SyntaxError: its
body still becomes a function expression. Both are unchanged;
undecorated privates no longer reach that path. Fixing them needs
`__privateWrapper` / `__superGet`-style runtime helpers.
- Effects after the last instance field go into the constructor after a
top-level `super(...)` statement, as before. `const r = super()` or `if
(x) super(); else super()` still puts them first. When an instance field
follows, they now ride in it and this works.
- With TypeScript's `useDefineForClassFields: false`, fields of a
decorated class are still defined, as on main.
- From the previous revision of this PR, dropped: the `__superGet` /
`__superSet` / `__superWrapper` / `__privateWrapper` helpers and the
rewriters that used them (no longer needed for static code), the parse
errors for `@x static {}` and parameter decorators in JS (oven-sh#35544), and
`var {…} = require("bun:wrap")` for CommonJS-wrapped modules (a
decorated class in a `.cjs` file still fails to load; it is a module
wrapper bug, not a lowering one).
- A class expression evaluated more than once still shares its `var`
temporaries: oven-sh#38933, oven-sh#38904.

### Problem
- `bun run` moves a side-effect-free class statement to the top of the
module (`src/js_parser/parse/parse_entry.rs:1070`, cyclic import
relief). `Class::can_be_moved` (`src/ast/g.rs:104`) checks static field
initializers for side effects but skips static `accessor` initializers.
So `class C { static accessor s = f() }` is hoisted and `f()` runs
before the bindings above the class exist: `ReferenceError: Cannot
access 'order' before initialization`.
- The bundler uses the same predicate to move a class out of a lazy
`__esm` wrapper, so the initializer can run at the wrong time there too.

### Fix
- `Class::can_be_moved` treats `PropertyKind::AutoAccessor` like
`PropertyKind::Normal`. A static auto-accessor initializer that is not a
literal or a function keeps the class where it was written.
- Verified: `test/bundler/transpiler/es-decorators.test.ts` (new "class
statement placement" test; it fails on 1.4.3 and on main a22b2aa with
the `ReferenceError` above). Also `es-decorators-esbuild.test.ts`.

### Background
- An auto-accessor (`accessor x = v`) is a field with a generated getter
and setter. Its storage is initialized like a field: during class
evaluation for a static one, during construction for an instance one.
- `parse_entry.rs` asks `can_be_moved` before the class is visited and
lowered, so it sees the `AutoAccessor` property as written. The lowering
(#40833) then emits the static initializer as a `static {
__privateAdd(this, _s, v) }` block in the class body, which moves with
the class.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

Found with a differential run of the standard-decorator lowering against
tsc and esbuild. The other findings of that run were covered by #40833,
which is merged. This branch is rebased on it; the bug is independent of
the lowering shape because the hoist decision is made on the parsed
class.

Repro (1.4.3 and main a22b2aa):

```js
let order = [];
order.push("top");
function sideEffect(name, value) { order.push(name); return value; }
class C {
  accessor m = sideEffect("m", 1);
  static accessor s = sideEffect("s", 2);
}
order.push("after class");
const c = new C();
console.log(order.join(","), C.s, c.m);
```

`bun run` throws the `ReferenceError` inside `sideEffect` (the class
runs before line 1). With the fix it prints `top,s,after class,m 2 1`.
`bun build --no-bundle` output evaluated directly is correct, because
the hoist only happens in the runtime path.

**root cause** · written by the author bot

The hoisting check in `Class::can_be_moved` only examined static
initializers on `PropertyKind::Normal` properties, so a class whose only
side effect was a static `accessor x = expr` initializer was treated as
side-effect free and moved to the top of the module, where the
initializer ran before the bindings it reads existed. The fix widens
that check so `PropertyKind::AutoAccessor` is inspected the same way as
a normal static field, which keeps such classes where they were written.
A new test in the ES decorators suite asserts the correct evaluation
order for a static accessor initializer.

Bun 1.4.3 rewrote standard decorator lowering (oven-sh/bun#40833), so a
compound assignment to a private field in a class with a decorated member
no longer fails to parse. Maintenance and Notifications went through
Counter and Gauge only to dodge that; they are plain fields again, here
and in the create-app schedule template.

…the decorated class (#45435)

Fixes #44915

### Problem
- With standard (TC39) decorators, a class decorator that returns a new
class is invisible inside the class body. `static self = () => Model`,
`@capture(() => Model)`, `static { Model.x }`, methods and instance
fields all see the original class. Babel, tsc and bun 1.4.2 (for
decorator arguments) give the decorated class. The spec initializes the
inner class binding with the decorated class, after the class decorators
run and before the static fields.
- The lowering keeps the class statement and applies the class
decorators from a leading `static {}`
(`src/js_parser/lower/lower_decorators.rs:721`). Every `Model` in the
body binds to the class statement's own inner binding. Only the outer
`Model` is reassigned.

### Fix
- `visit_class` (`src/js_parser/visit/mod.rs:1034`) binds the class name
inside a class-decorated body to a fresh symbol `_Model`. Every body
reference resolves through that one scope member, so no tree walk is
needed.
- `lower_class_body` uses that symbol as the target of
`__decorateElement` and declares it with `let _Model;` in front of the
class. The leading static block assigns the decorated class to it before
any static field runs. A `let` gives each evaluation in a loop its own
binding.
- A write to the class name inside the body (`C = x`, `C++`) still
targets the class's own binding, so it throws a `TypeError` as it does
natively. The name of a class expression stays in the renamer's view, so
a bundle keeps it apart from an import of the same name.
- Classes without class decorators (none, or member decorators only)
emit byte-identical output (checked with `cmp` on 400 classes). The
runtime transpiler cache version is 41 to 42.
- Verified: `test/regression/issue/44915.test.ts` (fails on 1.4.3), five
new tests in `test/bundler/transpiler/es-decorators.test.ts`. Also
`es-decorators-esbuild.test.ts`, `decorators.test.ts`,
`decorator-metadata.test.ts`, `ts-use-define-for-class-fields.test.ts`,
`transpiler.test.js`, `bundler_edgecase.test.ts`.

### Background
- `visit_class` pushes a `ClassName` scope with one member for the class
name. The body's identifiers resolve through it. Before this PR the
member was the class name symbol itself.
- #40833 wrote that a static block sees the class as written when a
decorator replaces it. That was a description of the lowering, not a
spec reading. This PR reverses it.
- Considered the tree walk in #44995: it keeps the scope member wrong
and rewrites every body reference afterwards, through the `#private`
rewriter. #38731 had this PR's mechanism against the old lowering and
went stale. This PR ports it and drops its private-static carve-out.
- #45351 touches the same functions and also bumps the cache version.
Whichever lands second rebases and takes the next one.

### Downsides
- `C.#s()` in a class that a decorator replaced now throws a
`TypeError`: `C` is the replacement, which has no brand for `#s`. The
spec throws here too. 1.4.3 returned the member because `C` was the
original class. `this.#s()` in static code still works (pinned in the
test).
- A read of the class name before the class decorators run (a computed
key, an eager element decorator argument) gives `undefined` instead of a
`ReferenceError`. tsc does the same. The esbuild suite test that asserts
the `ReferenceError` is moved to `todoTests`.
- One `let` declaration per class-decorated class, 10 bytes in the
output of the issue repro. `size_of::<G::Class>()` 88 to 96 bytes. A
class expression in a field initializer or a parameter default has no
statement list of its own, so it is printed as `((_C) => …)()` and the
binding is the arrow's parameter: one per evaluation. Neither position
allows `await` or `yield`. TypeScript `experimentalDecorators` classes
have the same inner-name defect and are not changed here.

<details><summary>Notes</summary>

Lowered output of the issue repro after this PR:

```js
var _init$2, _dec$3, _dec$4;
let _Model$1;
_dec$4 = [replace];
class Model {
  static {
    _init$2 = __decoratorStart(undefined);
    __decorateElement(_init$2, 5, "field", _dec$3, this);
    _Model$1 = __decorateElement(_init$2, 0, "Model", _dec$4, this);
  }
  static self = () => _Model$1;
  [(_dec$3 = [capture(() => _Model$1)], "field")] = __runInitializers(_init$2, 8, this, 1);
}
Model = _Model$1;
__runInitializers(_init$2, 1, _Model$1);
```

Probes on the debug build: class statement, named class expression,
`export class`, `export default class`, a class in a loop body, a class
expression returned from a function, `bun build --target=browser` of the
exported forms. All five body positions print `true` where 1.4.3 prints
`false`. tsc (ES2022 emit) prints `true` for the same five. esbuild
prints `true` for the decorator argument and the static field of the
issue repro, and `false` for methods and static blocks (its body
references resolve to the inner name of the class expression it emits).

Static private members: tsc keeps `C.#s()` working because it lowers
private statics of a decorated class and brand-checks them against the
decorated class. esbuild and bun 1.4.3 keep it working only because the
body name is the original class, which is the bug.

Self-reviewed: 9 concerns raised, 8 addressed. Review bots found two
more, both fixed: the renamer lost the name of a decorated class
expression, and a write to the class name inside the body reached the
inner binding. Rejected: declaring the inner binding through
`temp_refs_to_declare` as a hoisted `var`. The `_init` and `_dec`
temporaries are shared across loop iterations (#38933, #38904), which is
a known defect. The inner binding is user-observable across evaluations,
so it is a `let` next to the class.

`test/bundler/bundler_edgecase.test.ts` `DeepImportDiamondDAG` fails on
main in this container as well, without this diff.
