* fix(javascript): resolve Vite build-output preload dependencies
With an absolute base, Vite writes __vite__mapDeps entries relative to the
build output directory (for example assets/chunk.js), and its preload helper
prefixes the configured base at runtime. REA emitted these entries as
dynamic-import module specifiers, so a scheme-less path without a leading
dot resolved as a bare package and every entry was reported as an
unresolved "external" module, even when the build output directory was
selected.
The static analyzer now marks such entries with a vite-output: specifier,
as Webpack chunk loads are marked with chunk:. Entries starting with ./,
../ or /, and scheme-qualified entries, keep their previous handling. The
graph resolves a marked entry as a URL path under each ancestor directory
of the importing file; exactly one ancestor holding the file establishes
the build output directory. Otherwise the entry is not-found (or
unavailable when several ancestors match) with a limitation that names
the build output directory.
On a synthetic 7-file Vite build, the 12 preload entries that were
"external" now resolve when the build output directory is selected, and
are not-found with that guidance when only assets/ is selected.
* fix(javascript): keep unanalyzed Vite output candidates
resolveViteOutputDependency considered only resolved ancestors. A file
that exists under an ancestor but was not analyzed (for example
dist/assets/lazy.css for the entry assets/lazy.css) resolves there as
unavailable, and that result was replaced by the root's not-found with a
limitation saying that no ancestor holds the file.
Keep resolved and unavailable ancestor candidates together. One candidate
is returned with its own path and limitations; several are reported as
unavailable with every candidate path and limitation. Only when no
ancestor can hold the file does the root's not-found result stand.
Record erasure during definition indexing and reuse it across runtime references, captures, effects, module links, routes, Electron and Vite. Preserve source type links and emitted decorator and computed-key effects; keep actual runtime reads and escapes conservative.
Validation: 1,647 focused tests and 9 documentation tests passed, with build, static and documentation gates. The inherited reference-lifetimes stress file exhausts a 512 MiB worker on both unmodified 18451e479 and this change; that file remains unverified. TypeScript 7.0.2 emit was inspected for ES2022 and ES2018 without executing emitted code.
The __vite__mapDeps table indexer mapped a spread element to one unknown slot, so every later entry kept a definite index even though the spread can add any number of elements. A call such as __vite__mapDeps([0, 2]) over ["./first.js", ...["./middle-a.js", "./middle-b.js"], "./last.js"] then resolved index 2 to last.js instead of middle-b.js. Keep only the entries before the first spread; indexes from the spread onward stay unknown.
Preserve CommonJS literal paths and confined ESM URL semantics, including package main fallback, directory intent, Unicode identity, and present opaque modules. Parse extraction inputs at their AST/source owner, retain skipped HTML and source-map coverage, and distinguish endpoint candidates from proven receiver facts. Version structural fingerprints with computed literal contents and propagate them through worker contracts.
Reviewed fixes include #1810, #1840, #2642, #2700, #2702, #2714, #2803, #2960, #2968, #2986, #3035, and #3036.
Validation: 158 resolver tests passed; public CLI/MCP module lookup controls, package-main/Unicode workflows, and six builtin workflows passed in the current compiled lane. Worker schema/fingerprint regressions passed. Large public pdf.js completion and real Electron analysis remain unverified.
