What

Found with a self-written whitespace analyzer (for each space in oxc's minified output, remove it and check the result still canonicalizes to the same AST — if so the space was non-optimal). The most common hit:

ExportDefaultDeclaration printed "export default " with an unconditional trailing space, kept before non-identifier values when minifying:

Input Before After
export default {a:1} export default {a:1} export default{a:1}
export default [1] export default [1] export default[1]
export default (a,b) export default (a,b) export default(a,b)
export default "s" export default "s" export default`s`

Fix

Use a soft space (kept when pretty-printing) and let the value insert a hard space only before an identifier-like token — matching how return already works, and esbuild's SExportDefault printer (print("export default") + printSpace()).

Spaces that are required are preserved: export default function(){}, export default 5, export default foo, export default class C{}.

TypeScript

Exposed a latent bug: TSInterfaceDeclaration printed interface without a print_space_before_identifier() guard, so export default interface I {} would have minified to export defaultinterface. Added the guard (same fix as #23013 for enums). export default interface, export default abstract class, and export default <const>x all verified to round-trip.

Pretty-print output is unchanged. Codegen (115) and minifier (506) suites pass.

Addressed the P2 review (TS default interfaces): added the missing print_space_before_identifier() guard to TSInterfaceDeclaration, so export default interface I {} minifies to export default interface I{…} (not the broken export defaultinterface). Verified against esbuild's SExportDefault printer (same print("export default") + printSpace() approach, with each declaration/value inserting its own leading-identifier space). Added TS minify regression tests covering interface, abstract class, and <const> assertions; all round-trip.

The TS default-interface break was already fixed in the latest commit: TSInterfaceDeclaration now calls print_space_before_identifier() at its start, so export default interface I {} minifies to export default interface I{…} (not export defaultinterface). Added TS minify regression tests covering interface/abstract class/<const>.

## What

Found with a self-written whitespace analyzer (for each space in oxc's minified output, remove it and check the result still canonicalizes to the same AST — if so the space was non-optimal). The most common hit:

`ExportDefaultDeclaration` printed `"export default "` with an unconditional trailing space, kept before non-identifier values when minifying:

| Input | Before | After |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `export default {a:1}` | `export default {a:1}` | `export default{a:1}` |
| `export default [1]` | `export default [1]` | `export default[1]` |
| `export default (a,b)` | `export default (a,b)` | `export default(a,b)` |
| `export default "s"` | `export default "s"` | ``export default`s` `` |

## Fix

Use a soft space (kept when pretty-printing) and let the value insert a hard space only before an identifier-like token — matching how `return` already works, and esbuild's `SExportDefault` printer (`print("export default")` + `printSpace()`).

Spaces that are required are preserved: `export default function(){}`, `export default 5`, `export default foo`, `export default class C{}`.

### TypeScript

Exposed a latent bug: `TSInterfaceDeclaration` printed `interface` without a `print_space_before_identifier()` guard, so `export default interface I {}` would have minified to `export defaultinterface`. Added the guard (same fix as #23013 for enums). `export default interface`, `export default abstract class`, and `export default <const>x` all verified to round-trip.
