Why
The refreshed TypeScript latency matrix on the consolidated npm-loader stack showed a separate ESM bottleneck: loading 64 KiB of whitespace-preserving strip output took roughly 11 seconds on both P2 and P3, while the same input completed inline in about 200 ms.
A five-sample phase experiment attributed essentially the entire delay to two repository-owned Rust scanners stepping byte by byte through stripped whitespace. QuickJS declaration, filesystem resolution, evaluation, and the unresolved residual were sub-millisecond.
What changed
import.meta.mainrewriting when the source contains noimporttokenNo runtime state, cache lifetime, filesystem invalidation, public API, or generated type changes.
Results
The final raw P2/P3 phase pair is retained. Baseline attribution remains summarized in Markdown, and the full four-report latency matrix records the end-to-end result.
