Bump esbuild from 0.28.1 to 0.28.2

[dependabot]

Bumps esbuild from 0.28.1 to 0.28.2.

Release notes

Sourced from esbuild's releases.

v0.28.2

• Fix tree shaking bug due to TypeScript import alias (#4507)

  This release fixes a bug that could cause esbuild to incorrectly tree-shake imports that are used in a TypeScript type alias under certain circumstances. Affected code uses a TypeScript-specific import assignment and looks something like this:

  import Base from './dep.js';
  import Alias = Base.SomeType;

• Fix CSS minification bug involving & (#4497)

  This release fixes a bug where esbuild's CSS minifier incorrectly removed a & when it was unsafe to do so. Here is an example:

  /* Original code */
  .a .b {
    & .b:not(& .c) {
      color: red;
    }
  }
  /* Old output (with --minify) */
  .a .b{.b:not(& .c){color:red}}
  /* New output (with --minify) */
  .a .b{& .b:not(& .c){color:red}}

  This should match <span class="a"><span class="b"><span class="b">yes</span></span></span> but not <span class="a"><span class="b">no</span></span>. The old output incorrectly matched both.

• Avoid overwriting input files without --allow-overwrite (#4484)

  For example: esbuild input.js --outfile=input.js tells esbuild to overwrite input.js with the output of running esbuild on it. This was supposed to already be prevented by default, but it accidentally regressed in version 0.17.0 and apparently didn't have any test coverage. The error message was being printed but the input file was still being overwritten. Oops.

  This release puts the original behavior back. With this release, esbuild should now actually avoid overwriting input files unless --allow-overwrite is explicitly present. This is done by not writing out any files when a build error is encountered.

• Fix incorrect code generated when using top-level await (#4498)

  Previously esbuild could generate code containing a syntax error in complex scenarios involving top-level await used in a dependency cycle. The problem was a missing async on one or more module wrapper closures. With this release, esbuild now uses a fixed-point iteration algorithm to correctly annotate all dependencies in the cycle as needing an async module wrapper.

• Fix a minification bug with lowered logical assignment operators (#4508)

  This release fixes a bug that could cause esbuild to generate incorrect code for logical assignment operators when lowering them to an older target environment. Specifically the lowering process requires duplicating the left-hand side, but esbuild incorrectly failed to count the duplicate as a new usage when the left-hand side is an identifier. That then caused the minifier to believe that the left-hand side was only used once and could attempt to incorrectly inline an initializer into the first usage. This bug has now been fixed:

  // Original code
  function foo() {
    let x
    bar(x ||= {})

... (truncated)

Copilot This PR was opened by Dependabot. Please take it the rest of the way before it's ready for human review:

1. Impact analysis — identify what changed (package name, old → new version) from the PR diff/description, search the codebase for where that dependency is actually used, and summarize what could be affected.
2. Fix build/conflict issues — run npm ci --legacy-peer-deps, npm run build, and npm run lint; resolve any merge conflicts, build errors, or lint errors that surface.
3. Tests — add or update tests under tests/** to cover the changed usage, and make sure they meaningfully validate the change (not just re-assert the version bump).
4. Run the suite — run the relevant npm run test:* script(s) for the affected area (e.g. test:blob, test:queue, test:table) and keep fixing until they pass.
5. Changelog — append one bullet to ChangeLog.md under ## Upcoming Release → General:, matching the existing style and tone of the entries already there (package name in backticks, old → new version, why, and a one-line summary of any code changes made).
6. Comments — review any existing PR comments and review threads, including resolved/hidden ones, and address anything actionable.
7. Self-rate — rate this work 1-10 against: correctness, test coverage, changelog accuracy, build/lint health, and comment resolution.
8. Iterate — if it's not a 10, keep improving until it is before finishing.
9. Summary — post a final comment explaining why this update matters, what the impact/risk is, and what could go wrong if it weren't applied, along with your self-rating and reasoning.
