Port of [microsoft/typescript-go#4192](microsoft/typescript-go#4192), which fixes [microsoft/TypeScript#63527](microsoft/TypeScript#63527). ## Problem `as`/`satisfies` are supposed to be erasable without changing runtime semantics. But for an expression of the form `a ## b as T $$ c`, where `##` has *lower* precedence than `$$`, erasing the assertion silently changes the parse: ```ts const x = 1 + 1 as number * 2; ``` This parses as `((1 + 1) as number) * 2` (= `4`), but textually erasing `as number` yields `1 + 1 * 2` (= `3`). TypeScript now rejects such constructs as a syntax error, forcing explicit parentheses. ## Change In `parse_binary_expression_rest`, after parsing an `as`/`satisfies` type, stop parsing if the following operator binds tighter than the operator that produced the running left-hand operand. This leaves the higher-precedence operator dangling and surfaces as a parse error. A chained `a as T as U` keeps referring back to the original operator's precedence (the tracked precedence is intentionally not updated while consuming `as`/`satisfies`), so `1 + 1 as any as number * 2` is rejected too. ## Behavior | Expression | Result | | --- | --- | | `1 as number * 2` | ok | | `1 * 1 as number + 2` | ok (`+` does not bind tighter than `*`) | | `1 + 1 as number * 2` | **error** | | `1 + 1 as any as number * 2` | **error** | | `1 >> 1 as number + 2` | **error** | | `(1 + 1 as number) * 2` | ok | `satisfies` behaves identically to `as`. ## Tests Added `misc` coverage fixtures mirroring the upstream test matrix: `pass/ts-erasable-as-satisfies.ts` for the erasable cases and `fail/ts-unerasable-{as,as-chained,satisfies}.ts` for the rejected ones. Full conformance (test262 / babel / typescript) shows zero regressions. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

Problem
as/satisfiesare supposed to be erasable without changing runtime semantics. But for an expression of the forma ## b as T $$ c, where##has lower precedence than$$, erasing the assertion silently changes the parse:This parses as
((1 + 1) as number) * 2(=4), but textually erasingas numberyields1 + 1 * 2(=3). TypeScript now rejects such constructs as a syntax error, forcing explicit parentheses.Change
In
parse_binary_expression_rest, after parsing anas/satisfiestype, stop parsing if the following operator binds tighter than the operator that produced the running left-hand operand. This leaves the higher-precedence operator dangling and surfaces as a parse error.A chained
a as T as Ukeeps referring back to the original operator's precedence (the tracked precedence is intentionally not updated while consumingas/satisfies), so1 + 1 as any as number * 2is rejected too.Behavior
1 as number * 21 * 1 as number + 2+does not bind tighter than*)1 + 1 as number * 21 + 1 as any as number * 21 >> 1 as number + 2(1 + 1 as number) * 2satisfiesbehaves identically toas.Tests
