Good morning. It's September 6th, and here's your Next Js Daily briefing.
The throughline in today's activity: several tools were quietly assuming defaults instead of checking what a project actually configured. Four separate fixes closed those gaps.
Start with the ESLint plugin. PR 98298 from Larslllllll fixes the no-HTML-link-for-pages rule, which only recognized standard JS and TS file extensions. If your project uses custom page extensions — MDX, for example — the rule silently missed broken links to those pages. Same author, PR 98297, tackles a related…
Second theme: caching correctness. PR 98307 from Shtokarev fixes an inconsistency in the file system cache around partial pre-rendering. The code that writes cache files, the code that reads them, and the export path all had different rules for when a fully static PPR page should get its RSC file written. That kind…
