With no plugins, process() deletes every comment beginning with /*# — including the /*#region */ / /*#endregion */ folding markers editors use.

let css = "/*#region layout */\na{color:red}\n/*#endregion */\n"
postcss([]).process(css, { from: undefined }).css
// "\na{color:red}\n"
postcss([() => {}]).process(css, { from: undefined }).css
// unchanged

This happens with map unset too: NoWorkResult always calls clearAnnotation().

clearAnnotation() has two implementations. The AST one removes only comments whose text starts with # sourceMappingURL=, and PreviousMap#loadAnnotation finds annotations by that marker. The string one — the only path NoWorkResult takes — searched for /*# alone.

Searching for the whole /*# sourceMappingURL= marker keeps the plain string scan, so 497daef's move off RegExp stands. The old RegExp had the same gap, anchored to end of line.

Two tests added. Reverting lib/map-generator.js fails both. A narrower fix keeping the /*# needle and stopping at the first non-annotation still fails the second, where the stray comment follows the annotation.

pnpm test green: 701/701 unit (699 before), types, size, integration, lint (one pre-existing warning in visitor.test.ts).

Unchanged and disclosed: the string path still leaves /* # sourceMappingURL=… */ (space after /*) and appends a second annotation, where the AST path clears it.

Drafted with Claude Opus 5 (claude-opus-5); every claim was executed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved source-map annotation cleanup so regular comments are preserved.
    • Ensured comments following source-map annotations remain intact when no source path is provided.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for preserving non-annotation comments and correctly removing source-map annotations.

clearAnnotation() has two implementations. The AST one removes only a
comment whose text starts with `# sourceMappingURL=`, and
PreviousMap#loadAnnotation finds annotations by the same marker. The
string one, which is the only path NoWorkResult can take, searched for
`/*#` and removed every comment that began with it.

So postcss().process(css) silently deleted `/*#region */` and
`/*#endregion */` folding markers, and any other comment starting with
`#`, while the same CSS through a processor with one no-op plugin kept
them. It happens with `map` unset too, because NoWorkResult calls
clearAnnotation() unconditionally.

Searching for the whole `/*# sourceMappingURL=` marker lines the string
path up with the other two and keeps the plain string scan.

Walkthrough

clearAnnotation() now removes only exact sourceMappingURL comments. Regression tests verify that generic comments remain unchanged.

clearAnnotation() matches exact sourceMappingURL markers. Tests verify that generic comments remain and source-map annotations are removed.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ae931

CSS containing spaced source-map annotations can retain stale sourceMappingURL comments in generated output. Support and regression coverage for this valid form should be added before merge.

- Line 78: Update the source-map annotation matching logic near the annotation
literal in map-generator.js to accept optional horizontal whitespace between /*
and the exact # sourceMappingURL= marker, while preserving existing unspaced
matching behavior. Add a regression case in map.test.ts verifying the spaced
annotation is removed from result.css consistently with the AST path.
