🙂 Expected behavior

The compiler should not crash 🙂

Additional information about the issue

Disclosure: This crash was found with a custom mutation fuzzer and AI assistance (Kimi K3). The input was minimized and then verified by hand against TypeScript 7.1.0-dev (main) and TypeScript 6.0.3.

This appears to be a leftover of the fix for typescript-go#3891 / typescript-go#3926 (commit 710928bdf2). That fix covers an anonymous class with a member decorator (class { @x m() {} }). It does not cover a class-level decorator (@dec class {}).

Comienza en internal/transformers/estransforms/esdecorator.go, en visitClassDeclaration, alrededor de la aserción mostrada en el stack trace. Reproduce la clase anónima con un decorador a nivel de clase usando emit y un destino ES2022; después, rastrea cómo el transformador de decoradores gestiona la ausencia del nombre de la clase. La tarea estará terminada cuando el compilador ya no entre en pánico con esta entrada y la cobertura de regresión verifique el comportamiento.
