Fixes found while working through the WPT regressions from the style engine landing: stale old-side workspace answers, a parallel-array shear that swallowed real publications, custom-property removal never invalidating, a prefix interner give-back crash, routing entry points leaking from detached sheets, and a stalled rendering loop that let load handlers run before the first style pass.

Also fixed nearby: heading offsets now walk the host chain per spec (both heading WPT tests fully pass and are imported in-tree), mutating a free-standing Range no longer wipes the selection highlight, and WebDriver no longer crashes closing a window the page already closed.

Old-side relation and positional answers in the match workspace
describe one transaction's before topology. They survived into later
transactions, where exact planning could read a position from the
wrong topology and report no change for a positional selector.

Clear the old evaluation sides when a new transaction fact view
begins. Current-side data stays; it is keyed to the live tree.
The previous-input capture pushed an entry for every routed node, but
the published node list skips nodes that do not emit, departed nodes,
and scope roots. The confirmation pass reads the capture by published
position, so one skipped node paired every later node with another
node's previous input, and a transition proof against the wrong input
could stop a publication whose style output did change.

Push the capture only when the node is accepted.
Exact tree comparisons reused current-side relation answers from the
matching workspace. The workspace can describe the topology before the
pending tree transaction. Positional selectors would then compare their
old positions against another copy of the old positions and report no
change.

Evaluate the new side against the authoritative current tree. Keep the
transaction-local old-tree workspace for the before side. Add a test for
repeated front insertions and removals with an nth-child descendant.
Keep direct inherited record deltas pure when later propagation tries to
add custom-property work or extra inherited groups to the same element.
Queue that additional work as fresh style-engine input instead, so the
current direct delta can be applied without violating its invariants.

Add bridge coverage for the reaction absorption rule so materialized
deltas can still widen while direct deltas only absorb covered work.
The retained-winner proof judges a declaration edit against the winner
columns, which never hold custom properties. Removing one left the new
inventory complete but empty, so the proof called the edit inert, no
element was planned, and the stale value stayed published.

Record which rules began the transaction with an incomplete inventory,
and have the proof refuse to prune their edits.
Give-back remaps retained prefix transitions, but a node whose parent's
transition was forgotten loses its entering states in the remap while
keeping its own transition. The local-delta path assumed entering
states always accompany a retained transition and unwrapped a None.

Fold that presence into can_derive_delta, so such a node falls back to
comparing the interned state chains, which need no old entering.
WebDriver's Close Window queues a task and the page can close the same
window itself before that task runs. The task then reached for the
traversable through a browsing context whose active document was gone,
and WebContent died on the null document.

Check that the context is still open when the task runs, and teach
has_navigable_been_destroyed() that no active document means destroyed.
Fixes the WPT window-open-noopener.html?indexed crash (5/5 locally).
The spec walks parent elements and jumps from a shadow root to its
host, so a slotted heading's level follows its host chain. We walked
the flat tree instead, so slot containers' headingoffset leaked into
slotted headings' levels.

Re-imports the upstream headingoffset test (61/61) and imports the
:heading()-in-:has() slot reassignment test (39/39, was 17/39).

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates CSS style-delta merging, transaction cleanup, stylesheet routing, animation computation, document-kind recording, selection handling, heading traversal, and editing commands. It adds lifecycle guards for browsing contexts and deferred window closing. Document layout now updates before load dispatch. New and updated tests cover custom properties, selector restoration, animations, transitions, alignment, heading behavior, editing, user styles, and selection events.

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 76438

This PR changes style, selection, and browser-window behavior, but two regression tests may not reliably validate the intended results: one lacks an alignment assertion, and another may observe the wrong selectionchange event. The changes should not be considered merge-ready until the tests are corrected or the risk is explicitly accepted.

Comment thread Tests/LibWeb/Text/input/selectionchange-on-remove-all-ranges.html Outdated
Mutating any range updated the viewport's selection states, and a range
no selection paints through took the reset branch, wiping the highlight
the real selection owns. Setting boundary points on a freshly created
range was enough to deselect everything on screen.

Only an associated range recomputes the viewport states now, and the
reset happens where a selection actually lets go of its range.
Recording style engine input touches no layout tree and no paintable,
so nothing asked the page for a frame. A quiet document that changed
style from a timer sat unflushed indefinitely, and a transition the
change should start never ran. Request a frame with the first recorded
input; the frame it schedules flushes everything after it.

Also give the document a styled, laid-out state before its load event
fires. Style otherwise waits for the next rendering update, and a load
handler's change could fold into the very first style pass, where a
transition it expects has no before-change style to start from. Fixes
the css-anchor-position anchored-transition-display-none-001 timeout.
A detached sheet's rules decide nothing, but their routing entry points
stayed registered so the sheet could come back, and every input paid to
enumerate them. A page that repeatedly inserts and removes style
elements made every later mutation walk all of the dead ones: the
detached-stress test routed 8x more entry points by its fifth identical
repetition.

Rules stay compiled and keep their identity. The registry drops them
when their sheet is attached nowhere, and reattachment restores their
routes before the attachment's transaction plans.
The test runs a few hundred fixture-and-flush cases: about a second of
page work in a release build, several under ASAN, which brushes the
30-second default on loaded CI runners. Its sibling stress tests
already extend their timeout the same way.
Per css-transitions-1 and web-animations-1, the after-change style
keeps animation-derived values (only transitions are excluded), and
the before-change style has animations updated to the current time.
Both sides of the comparison therefore carry the same animated value
for a property a running animation applies to, so no transition can
start beneath it. We stripped the whole animated overlay from the
after-change style, so playing a covering animation did not stop the
underlying change from starting a transition.

Fixes ~30 subtests across the two WPT style-change-events tests.
A keyframe-borne `inherit` on a non-inherited property reads the
parent's style, so the parent must be marked as having children that
depend on non-inherited property inheritance. Only the full style
computation path left that mark; an animation-only overlay update did
not, so a keyframe resolved through that path went permanently stale
when the parent's value later changed.

The mark makes the parent send its children a pure inherited-style
reaction, which the style engine can answer with a static inherited-
group swap. That swap is only sound while the element's style is a
pure function of its cascade inputs and the swapped groups. An element
with animations may resolve keyframe values against the parent's
style, and an element with transitions must compare before-change and
after-change styles, so both now decline the swap and recompute, the
same conditions the element-side group swap already declines under.

Fixes the regressed "responsive to inherited changes" subtests in the
WPT web-animations/responsive/ tests, and the iframe subtest of
timing-model/timelines/timelines.html.
Two bugs kept an animated `display` stuck at its sampled value after
the animation stopped covering the property.

The per-frame animation update skips elements in display:none subtrees
as a workaround to avoid pointless work, judged on display ignoring
animations. An effect that animates display over a display:none base
was skipped too, so the very update that applies or removes the
override never ran. Such effects now always update.

The reconstruction of an animated element's style carried the recorded
pre-box-type-transformation display, which tracks the animated display
while one is applied. When the update dropped the animated value, the
re-adjustment pass fed that stale display back in and resurrected it.
Reconstruction now starts over from the base style's display whenever
the overlay covers `display`.

Fixes the WPT web-animations display animation-type test.
Whether HTML attribute-name folding applies is a fact about the
document, and a compiled selector carries it. The engine learned it
when the first style sheet attached, but a script that runs before
that can compile a selector query, and the compiled query is cached,
so `[viewBox]` permanently stopped matching HTML elements when the
first querySelector call came early enough. Publish the document kind
at query compilation too, as the isolated engine for disconnected
trees already does.

Fixes WPT dom/nodes/querySelector-mixed-case.html.
Three bugs kept the underline and strikethrough commands from seeing
text decorations they had to remove.

The specified command value read the `text-decoration` shorthand from
the style attribute and looked for line keywords in a value list, but
the attribute stores expanded longhands and the reconstructed
shorthand is a ShorthandStyleValue, so the check always failed and
toggling never removed a parent block's decoration. Clearing the value
had the same mismatch, plus a VERIFY that the shorthand is a value
list. Both now operate on the `text-decoration-line` longhand.

The effective command value's ancestor walk advanced the ancestor but
kept querying the starting node's resolved value, so a decoration set
above the editing host was invisible and toggling wrapped already
decorated text in another <u> or <s>.

The WPT editing removing-inline-style-specified-by-parent-block test
now passes all subtests in all three variants.
Setting an empty user style left the page holding an engaged, empty
source, and shadow scopes only share style caches while no user style
is present, so sharing stayed disabled for the lifetime of the page.

A page outlives the documents a test runner loads into it. The
style-engine test that exercises user styles cleans up by setting the
empty string, so every test that later ran in the same WebContent
process lost scope cache sharing, and the shadow-scopes-share test
failed with scopeRuleCacheBuilds=4 whenever the scheduler put it after
that test in one process. This is the intermittent CI failure seen on
the sanitizer job.
