fix(banner): survive HTML4 page rewrites and late script execution (WPSpeed) - #312
Merged

Conversation
…PSpeed) Reported on wordpress.org: with WPSpeed by JExtensions active, the banner did not show. Reproduced with WPSpeed 2.6.10 on its default settings; two independent causes. 1. WPSpeed's image optimiser (on by default) rewrites the whole page through DOMDocument::loadHTML(). libxml's HTML4 parser ends a <script> at any `</` + letter and drops the stray end tags, so the template in <script id="fazBannerTemplate" type="text/template"> arrived with every closing tag removed: the browser nested the whole banner inside the title and the consent bar rendered 0 px tall, without buttons. The server now writes `</` as `<\/` inside the template (Frontend::escape_template_end_tags()), which both parsers keep as text, and _fazReadBannerTemplate() turns it back in the browser. Content written client-side by the geo bootstrap is unescaped and passes through unchanged. 2. WPSpeed combines and defers the scripts, so script.js runs after parsing. _fazDomReady() then ran the init synchronously in the middle of the file, before later `const` declarations existed: "Cannot access '_' before initialization" in _fazAttachFocusLoop (the minified _fazFocusLoopHandlers), and the banner rendered half-decorated. Any `defer`/`async`/combined/delayed load hit it. When the document is already parsed the callback now runs in a microtask, i.e. as soon as the file has finished evaluating — the same order as the DOMContentLoaded path. Tests: new E2E spec with a fixture plugin that performs the same DOMDocument round trip and a route that adds `defer` to script.js (both fail on main, pass here); new unit test pinning the escape against a real libxml round trip. Checked by hand against WPSpeed with 18 option sets: all show a working banner except its Pro-only "Remove unused JS", which holds every script until the first interaction by design.
WalkthroughPHP escapa i tag di chiusura nel template del banner e JavaScript li ripristina prima del rendering. JavaScript accoda inoltre il callback quando il DOM è già pronto. Test unitari ed E2E verificano la riscrittura HTML4 e il caricamento con ChangesTemplate e inizializzazione del banner

ℹ️ No critical issues. One small test-portability nit inline.
Reviewed changes
I reviewed both WPSpeed compatibility fixes and the tests added for them. I also checked that script.min.js matches terser -c -m output for the new script.js. The new unit test passes, and so do the rest of the unit suites except test-i18n-catalogue-integrity-php.php, which fails here because the environment has no msgfmt.
- Template end-tag escape:
Frontend::escape_template_end_tags()writes</as<\/inside#fazBannerTemplate. libxml's HTML4 parser therefore keeps the closing tags._fazRenderBanner()is the only place that reads the template's content, and_fazReadBannerTemplate()reverses the escape there. The geo bootstrap'stextContentwrite is not escaped, so the reverse step leaves it unchanged. - Late-execution TDZ: when the document is already parsed,
_fazDomReady()now schedules the init withPromise.resolve().then(...). The microtask runs only afterscript.jsfinishes evaluating, so the block-scopedconsts exist by then._fazDomReadyhas only one caller, and the Rocket Loader double-init guard still passes. - Tests: a new E2E spec with a DOMDocument round-trip fixture plugin and a
deferroute, plus a PHP unit test of the escape against a real libxml round trip. Both assert things the old code gets wrong: the escaped<\/div>in the served HTML, and nobefore initializationerrors.

…mplate script.js now has to undo the `<\/` escape in #fazBannerTemplate, and an older cached script.js paired with the new HTML renders a broken banner. I bump the marker so fazcookie._diag().build tells the two bundles apart. It is diagnostic only: nothing on the server compares against it, and the real cache buster is the ?ver= on the enqueued script, which follows FAZ_VERSION, so the comment now says that such a coupled change is only safe for visitors once FAZ_VERSION is bumped at release. script.min.js rebuilt.
…endent The defer route matched a hardcoded 127.0.0.1:9998; it now matches the faz_defer query marker, so a different WP_BASE_URL works. The describe is no longer serial: the two tests do not depend on each other (the rewriter fixture only acts on ?faz_html4_rewrite=1 and the first test restores the plugin list in finally), so a failure in the first must not skip the defer test. I also note why the defer test waits for `load`.
…emplates New jsdom test on the real script.js with the bootstrap neutralised: with readyState interactive or complete the _fazDomReady callback is not called synchronously but in a microtask, before any timer, exactly once; while loading it waits for DOMContentLoaded and runs once. _fazReadBannerTemplate turns `<\/` back into `</` and leaves unescaped content (what the geo bootstrap writes) unchanged. Both halves fail against the previous implementations. The PHP round-trip test now also runs the real box, banner and classic templates from templates/6.2.0/template.json through DOMDocument in a page declared UTF-8, as shipped and with non-ASCII banner text: every closing tag survives escaped and unescaping reproduces the input. Byte for byte when the root element is serialised; whole-document saveHTML() writes non-ASCII as entities even inside a script, so there the comparison is made after decoding entities, which is what DOMParser does in the browser.
With the alternative asset path option the main bundle is printed inline, and a page rewriter that parses HTML4 (DOMDocument::loadHTML, e.g. WPSpeed's image optimiser) can truncate it at a `</` inside the JavaScript. I document the limit at enqueue_inline_bundle() and why the template escape is not applied to code: it would corrupt regex literals.

Reviewed changes
I reviewed the four commits pushed since the last Pullfrog review. Both new unit tests pass locally, script.min.js still matches terser -c -m, and git diff --check is clean.
- Build marker: Bumped
_FAZ_BUILDto'1.33.0+html4-template-escape'. The new comment states that the marker is diagnostic only, and that the server/JS coupling reaches visitors safely only afterFAZ_VERSIONchanges the?ver=cache buster. - E2E spec: Changed the
deferroute to match onurl.searchonly, which addresses the prior host-hardcoding comment. Droppeddescribe.serialso the two tests run independently, and explained thewaitUntil: 'load'choice in a comment. - JS unit test: Added
banner-late-load-template.test.mjs, which loads the real_fazDomReadyand_fazReadBannerTemplatein jsdom. It asserts microtask ordering (sync→callback→timer), so it would fail against the old synchronous_fazDomReady. - PHP unit test: Extended the libxml round trip to the shipped box, banner and classic templates from
templates/6.2.0/template.json. It covers UTF-8 text and both whole-document and root-elementsaveHTML(). - Docs: Noted on
enqueue_inline_bundle()that inline bundles are deliberately left unescaped, because rewriting</in JS source would corrupt regex literals.
