js_parser: remove an unused import a = b.c when a top-level using is lowered - #47994
A .ts module with an unused import T = N.T and a top-level using builds at exit 0 for node and browser. The output keeps var T = N.T; and fails with ReferenceError: N is not defined.
For each target but bun, LowerUsingDeclarationsContext::finalize (src/js_parser/p.rs) lowers a top-level using: the statements of the module go into a try. ImportScanner::scan (scan_imports.rs:657) removes unused aliases at top level only.
Found by a fuzz run, not a user.
Fix
finalize removes each unused alias before its loop builds the try, with the scan's test (ts_import_equals).
No use count changes: _parse reads them before the scan.
Verified: transpiler.test.js and three more files (89 of 126 new tests fail on main), and bundler_edgecase.
Self-reviewed: 25 concerns raised, 23 addressed. Not taken: an import * decrement, a fuzzer leg (Notes).
Background
import a = b.c aliases a type or value. Bun drops one that no code reads, as tsc does with verbatimModuleSyntax off. esbuild has this bug.
Considered: a scan of the try (finalize clears is_export, so export import looks unused), or a later try (the scan would see export default twice).
Downsides
Lowered output no longer runs an unused alias of a value: a getter on b is not called, eval("a") fails, design:type of a decorated member above it is Object. bun run already does that.
Lowered TypeScript modules pay 9 instructions per top-level statement. Release .text: +1,904 B.
Notes
Repro
// entry.tsnamespaceN{exporttypeT=number;}importT=N.T;
using resource={[Symbol.dispose](){}};constx: T=1;console.log(x);
bun entry.ts # 1
bun build entry.ts --target=node --outfile=out.mjs # exit 0
bun out.mjs # ReferenceError: N is not defined
--target=bun and the same file without the using line print 1.
The same var T = N.T; comes from bun build --no-bundle --target=node, from Bun.Transpiler (its default target is the browser), from the dev server for a browser module, and from bun repl.
The root only has to be absent at run time: a namespace of types, a declare namespace, an ambient namespace (NodeJS, JSX), or an import type binding.
The in-tree fuzzer (test/aot/fuzz) builds and runs for the bun target only, so it never reaches finalize.
References
tsc 7.0.2 (--target es2022 --module esnext) removes the alias, and the program prints 1. That is with verbatimModuleSyntax off, the compiler default. With it on (the tsconfig of bun init), tsc keeps each alias and reports TS1288 for an alias of a type.
Bun does not read that flag. On each other path it removes an alias that no code reads (src/js_parser/parse/parse_typescript.rs:372, src/ast/s.rs:279). This PR makes the lowered path agree with bun run.
esbuild 0.28.2 has the same defect when it lowers a top-level using (--target=es2022, with and without --bundle). This change is a step away from esbuild.
What changes
An unused alias goes from a lowered module: a type alias, an interface, a type of a declare namespace, a type of a nested namespace A.B, a type of an ambient namespace, a type of an import type binding, a namespace that only types name (import M = N), and a value that no code reads. For using and await using, with the alias in front of the using or behind it.
A chain (import B = A.B; import T = B.T;) goes in any order of its statements. A chain of 64,000 aliases takes the same time as on main, which keeps it (below).
The scan calls ts_import_equals in place of its inline test. Its behavior is the same: 58,330 outputs compared (below).
What does not change
--target=bun, and each module without a lowered top-level using.
In a bundle, a removed alias of an import * as NS root still counts as a use of NS. The namespace object and the exports of that module stay, as on main. The output is the output of main without the alias line.
An alias inside a namespace body is never removed, on any target. When it names a type, bun file.ts fails with ReferenceError. tsc removes it, and esbuild keeps it. It is not in this PR: the removal has to run before the merge of declarations that bun run does, and it changes the output of bun run.
export import a = b.c always stays.
With minify.syntax and no lowered using, an unused alias that the mangler merges with a const beside it takes that declaration with it (bun build --no-bundle --minify-syntax). That is on main, in Local::can_merge_with (src/ast/s.rs:269), and typescript: match tsc for experimentalDecorators and emitDecoratorMetadata #46553 has the guard. The lowered output does not have the defect: the removal runs before the merge.
The version of the runtime transpiler cache (EXPECTED_VERSION, 51). The runtime target is bun, which never lowers using, and its output is byte-identical to main.
typescript: match tsc for experimentalDecorators and emitDecoratorMetadata #46553 adds a private ts_import_equals with the same name to scan_imports.rs. It returns a tuple, and the one here returns a struct with the fields alias and root. The PR that lands second keeps one of the two. finalize must call only that test, and never the remover of the scan, which changes use counts.
A scan that enters the lowered try. finalize sets is_export = false on each exported local before the scan runs (p.rs:10029 on main), so the scan takes export import a = b.c for an unused alias. One pass over the try also leaves a chain with the root first.
A try built after the scan. By reading: the visit turns export default <expr> into a local and an export clause (visit_stmt.rs:583), and finalize drops the original statement (p.rs:10011). A scan in front of finalize sees both.
Decorator metadata
With emitDecoratorMetadata, the type of a decorated member is read at run time. When the class is written above the alias (for example inside a function), the parser counts that read on a placeholder symbol and not on the alias. So under bun run on main the scan removes the alias, and design:type is Object where tsc gives the class. An ES import written below the class has the same defect. After this PR, lowered output does that too, where main kept the alias. When such an alias names a type, the lowered output of main throws ReferenceError: N is not defined, and this PR gives Object. The count is 0 in both cases, so a test in finalize that keeps the alias of a class also brings that failure back. The defect is in the metadata emitter, and its repair is not part of this PR. An alias written above the class stays: one test module pins that. The table has no dotted type (p: A.K): Bun.Transpiler leaks a Vec<Ref> for each one on main (parse_skip_typescript.rs:910), and transpiler.test.js runs with the leak check.
Self-review
The 23 concerns that are addressed changed the cut (one shared test, the removal in front of the loop, a linear walk for chains), the tests (the twin table, the use-count test), and this text.
Not taken: a decrement of the use count for the import * as NS root of a removed alias. It lets the bundler drop the namespace object, but it is a second rule for use counts beside "no count changes".
Not taken: a leg of test/aot/fuzz that lowers using. It is test infrastructure, and a change of its own.
Why no use count changes
The scan calls ignore_usage(b) when it removes an alias. It runs in P::to_ast, after _parse read the counts (parse_entry.rs:1300 for __dirname, :1435 to tell if a require() namespace escapes, :1702 to :1933 for module and exports). finalize runs during the visit, before those reads. Draft #36143 decremented at that time, and a require() namespace lost exports (1 a for 1 a,b,c). Here the root keeps the count that it has on main, where the alias stays in the try. ts/ImportEqualsOfRequireNamespaceBesideLoweredUsing fails if a decrement comes back: it prints 1 a.

Each module must print as its twin, which has const for each alias that stays and no other alias. 19 modules have an alias that goes. 9 pin aliases that stay: a value that code, a hoisted function, an export clause, decorator metadata or a classic JSX factory reads, export import, and import x = require().

… is lowered
A lowered top-level `using` moves the statements of the module into a
`try`. The import scan removes an unused TypeScript `import a = b.c`
from the top level of a part only, so the alias stayed as `var a = b.c`
and the output failed with `ReferenceError: b is not defined` when `b`
has only types.
`LowerUsingDeclarationsContext::finalize` now removes the unused aliases
from the statements of the module before it builds the `try`. It shares
the test of the import scan (`ts_import_equals`), removes a chain of
aliases in any order, and changes no use count.
Reproduced on main b1007f1177 (debug build) and on 1.4.3. A .ts module with namespace N { export type T = number; }, import T = N.T; and a top-level using builds at exit 0 with bun build --target=node and --target=browser. The output fails with ReferenceError: N is not defined. bun entry.ts, --target=bun and the same file without the using line print 1. With this PR each of them prints 1.
CI on 0a840216c2 (build 137908): no failure is from this PR. The build has 38 failure annotations, all for AOT tests (test/aot/** and test/bundler/compile-aot-size.test.ts) that this PR does not touch. The final builds of the merged PRs #47981, #47944, #47940, #47901 and #47895 have the same 38.
The parser now recognizes eligible TypeScript import = aliases and removes unused aliases during import scanning and TypeScript finalization. Regression tests cover alias chains, lowered using declarations, and bundler, transpiler, development ESM, and REPL behavior.

Summary
Recognize and remove unused aliases src/js_parser/scan/scan_imports.rs, src/js_parser/p.rs, test/bundler/transpiler/transpiler.test.js
The scanner uses a shared helper to identify eligible, non-exported import-equals declarations. During TypeScript finalization with function hoisting enabled, unused aliases are removed, and read counts are adjusted through alias chains. Transpiler tests cover aliases that are removed or retained across output modes.
Validate bundler and runtime behavior test/bundler/esbuild/ts.test.ts, test/bake/dev/esm.test.ts, test/js/bun/repl/repl.test.ts
Tests cover import-equals aliases alongside lowered using and await using declarations. The cases exercise bundler targets and formats, runtime output, namespace enumeration, and resource disposal.

Explanation
[#36143] p.rs removes unused aliases and chains before lowering a top-level using. The tests cover transpilation, bundling, the dev server, and the REPL. The fix does not cover root-first chains without lowered using or aliases rooted in import bindings. It does not change Part scanning or the transpiler cache version. The removed alias's root use count remains, so an import used only by that alias can remain. The issue requests an import-removal decision.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked a few other things and ruled them out: the other two finalize call sites (for-of body at visit_stmt.rs:2158, switch at :2280) only see nested-block statements where import a = b.c is a syntax error, so the T && should_hoist_fns gate loses nothing; export { a } of a removed alias cannot happen because s_export_clause goes through find_symbol, which records a use; and the chain loop cannot drop a root still named by a kept alias, since each alias's value read is counted on the root and the copied count only reaches 0 once every referencing alias is removed.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds a finalize-time removal of unused import a = b.c aliases in src/js_parser/p.rs before a lowered top-level using wraps the module in a try, and extracts the import scan's inline test into ts_import_equals in scan_imports.rs; no security-sensitive surface is touched. Three confirmed findings (decorator metadata regression, pre-existing minify-syntax merge issue, kept import * as NS root) are posted inline, so a human review is already signaled; this note only records the additional paths examined and ruled out.
`alias` and `root` are both a `Ref`, so a swapped tuple compiles.
Tests: remove a module that is not valid TypeScript (the AOT parity
run type-checks ts.test.ts), and a module whose decorator metadata
names a dotted type. `Bun.Transpiler` leaks a `Vec<Ref>` for each
dotted type on main, which fails the leak check of transpiler.test.js.
Transpiler cache version. Not changed. The cache holds the output of the runtime transpiler, whose target is bun, and that target never lowers using. For target: "bun" the output is byte-identical to main over 11,666 files (Notes, Measurements). So no cached entry differs from new output.
Positive assertion in the namespace body test. Not added. That test pins one thing: the lowered output handles such an alias as target: "bun" does. The alias that stays there is a different defect (Notes, "What does not change"), and its repair changes both outputs. A positive assertion would fail on that repair.
mordant.ts_import_equals now returns a struct with the fields alias and root.

Forward decorator metadata (the threads on p.rs:10281 and p.rs:10280). Both threads have the reason and are resolved. The metadata emitter records that read on a placeholder symbol, so the count on the alias is 0 for a class and for a type alike. For a decorated class in a function above the alias:
alias names
lowered, main
lowered, this PR
bun run and --target=bun, main
a class

ReferenceError: N is not defined

A test in finalize that keeps such an alias restores the class row and the failure of the type row, which is the failure this PR removes. The class row needs the repair in the metadata emitter, which typescript: match tsc for experimentalDecorators and emitDecoratorMetadata #46553 reworks. The Downsides section of the PR body lists the class row, and the Notes have both rows.
On the two offers of a follow-up issue (the metadata emitter, and the merge under minify.syntax): I do not ask for one from this PR. #46553 reworks the metadata emitter and has the can_merge_with guard.

--target es2022 --module esnext) removes the alias, and the program prints1. That is withverbatimModuleSyntaxoff, the compiler default. With it on (the tsconfig ofbun init), tsc keeps each alias and reports TS1288 for an alias of a type.src/js_parser/parse/parse_typescript.rs:372,src/ast/s.rs:279). This PR makes the lowered path agree withbun run.using(--target=es2022, with and without--bundle). This change is a step away from esbuild.What changes
declare namespace, a type of a nestednamespace A.B, a type of an ambient namespace, a type of animport typebinding, a namespace that only types name (import M = N), and a value that no code reads. Forusingandawait using, with the alias in front of theusingor behind it.import B = A.B; import T = B.T;) goes in any order of its statements. A chain of 64,000 aliases takes the same time as on main, which keeps it (below).ts_import_equalsin place of its inline test. Its behavior is the same: 58,330 outputs compared (below).What does not change
--target=bun, and each module without a lowered top-levelusing.using. The repeat loop inP::to_astdoes not repeat on main, sobun runfails withReferenceError: A is not defined. typescript: match tsc for experimentalDecorators and emitDecoratorMetadata #46553 repairs that loop.import { NS } from "./t"; import Foo = NS.Foo;). The scan does not remove it, so this change does not. typescript: match tsc for experimentalDecorators and emitDecoratorMetadata #46553 widensts_import_equalsfor it.import * as NSroot still counts as a use ofNS. The namespace object and the exports of that module stay, as on main. The output is the output of main without the alias line.bun file.tsfails withReferenceError. tsc removes it, and esbuild keeps it. It is not in this PR: the removal has to run before the merge of declarations thatbun rundoes, and it changes the output ofbun run.export import a = b.calways stays.minify.syntaxand no loweredusing, an unused alias that the mangler merges with aconstbeside it takes that declaration with it (bun build --no-bundle --minify-syntax). That is on main, inLocal::can_merge_with(src/ast/s.rs:269), and typescript: match tsc for experimentalDecorators and emitDecoratorMetadata #46553 has the guard. The lowered output does not have the defect: the removal runs before the merge.EXPECTED_VERSION, 51).

try.finalizesetsis_export = falseon each exported local before the scan runs (p.rs:10029on main), so the scan takesexport import a = b.cfor an unused alias. One pass over thetryalso leaves a chain with the root first.trybuilt after the scan. By reading: the visit turnsexport default <expr>into a local and an export clause (visit_stmt.rs:583), andfinalizedrops the original statement (p.rs:10011). A scan in front offinalizesees both.Decorator metadata
With
emitDecoratorMetadata, the type of a decorated member is read at run time. When the class is written above the alias (for example inside a function), the parser counts that read on a placeholder symbol and not on the alias. So underbun runon main the scan removes the alias, anddesign:typeisObjectwhere tsc gives the class. An ES import written below the class has the same defect. After this PR, lowered output does that too, where main kept the alias. When such an alias names a type, the lowered output of main throwsReferenceError: N is not defined, and this PR givesObject. The count is 0 in both cases, so a test infinalizethat keeps the alias of a class also brings that failure back. The defect is in the metadata emitter, and its repair is not part of this PR. An alias written above the class stays: one test module pins that. The table has no dotted type (p: A.K):Bun.Transpilerleaks aVec<Ref>for each one on main (parse_skip_typescript.rs:910), andtranspiler.test.jsruns with the leak check.Self-review
import * as NSroot of a removed alias. It lets the bundler drop the namespace object, but it is a second rule for use counts beside "no count changes".test/aot/fuzzthat lowersusing. It is test infrastructure, and a change of its own.Why no use count changes
The scan calls
