…fying (#23036) ## What `a-- > b` was minified as `a-- >b` (a space before `>`) to avoid producing the `-->` token sequence. But `-->` is only an HTML close comment (`SingleLineHTMLCloseComment`) at the **start of a line**, and a postfix `--` always has an operand before it — so `a-->b` is never a comment and always parses as `(a--) > b`. | Input | Before | After | | --- | --- | --- | | `while (i-- > 0) f()` | `while(i-- >0)f()` | `while(i-->0)f()` | | `x = a-- > b` | `x=a-- >b` | `x=a-->b` | Verified in node (`while(i-->0)` yields `[2,1,0]`). This goes one step beyond esbuild, which keeps the conservative space. The `< ! --` guard (avoiding `<!--`, which *can* appear mid-line) is left untouched.
