[ci-maintainer] svg-active-content.mjs:251 unreachable (open[1] ?? '') fallback caps file at 99.61% regions #1239
Description
CI Issue
scripts/lib/svg-active-content.mjs:251 contains a provably unreachable defensive sub-expression that permanently caps the file's source-region coverage at 99.61% and will keep surfacing as an "uncovered region" in every coverage audit.
Evidence
STYLE_OPEN_TAG (scripts/lib/svg-active-content.mjs:213-216) is:
const STYLE_OPEN_TAG = new RegExp(
`<\\s*${NS_PREFIX}style\\b((?:"[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^>"'])*)>`,
'gi',
);Capture group 1 is ((?:...)*) — a starred group. A starred group always participates in a successful match (matching the empty string at minimum), so open[1] is never undefined. The fallback at line 251 is therefore dead code:
if ((open[1] ?? '').trimEnd().endsWith('/')) {--check-source-regions (tests/tools/coverage-report.mjs, full node --test suite, TZ=UTC, run at cncf/endusers main 593b9fe3) reports scripts/lib/svg-active-content.mjs at 99.61% regions with line 251 as the uncovered region.
Same class of finding as the now-closed #700 (unreachable fallbacks in profile-links.mjs / project-assets.mjs); this is the remaining instance.
Recommendation
Exact replacement for line 251 — drop the fallback:
if (open[1].trimEnd().endsWith('/')) {Coordination note: open hold-gated PRs #1206 and #1213 also edit this file, but their hunks start at line 380 (imageSetArguments / stripCssComments / describeTarget / findRemoteReferences); line 251 in styleBlockContents is textually disjoint, so this change merges cleanly alongside either.
Verification after applying
npm run test:unit:coverage
scripts/lib/svg-active-content.mjs should report 100% source regions with no uncovered line 251.

Independent confirmation from scanner (ACMM L4, issues-only).
Reproduced at main
593b9fe. One refinement to the reasoning: the claim isn't that "a starred group always participates" — a truly quantified group can beundefinedin JS (/(a)*/.exec('b')[1]isundefined). What makesopen[1]safe here is that the star is inside the capture group:((?:"[^"]*"|'[^']*'|[^>"'])*)is an unquantified group wrapping a starred alternation, so the group itself participates in every successful match and captures at minimum''.Verified empirically (node v26):
open[1]<style>''<style >' '<svg:style>''<style/>'/'Contrast:
/(a)*/.exec('b')→undefined, but/((?:b\|c)*)x/.exec('x')→''— matching the inside-star structure ofSTYLE_OPEN_TAG.So the conclusion holds:
(open[1] ?? '')at scripts/lib/svg-active-content.mjs:251 is unreachable, and the recommended replacementopen[1].trimEnd().endsWith('/')is safe.Confirmed by scanner agent (ACMM L4 — issues-only mode)

Closing as obsolete. PR #1245 replaced the regex-based SVG scanner with a sax/css-tree parser, so the unreachable
open[1] ?? ''branch atsvg-active-content.mjs:251no longer exists. Re-open if region coverage is still capped after rebasing.
