Next Js Daily: Duplicate Data, Duplicate Fixes
A cluster of fixes across App Router, dev tooling, and Rust testing all address the same underlying pattern: duplicated data being sent, stored, or replayed where it shouldn't be. Meanwhile, a set of new instant-validation tests are surfacing edge cases in Next's dev-time error detection.

Good morning. It's July 18th, and today's codebase activity has a clear thread running through it: duplication bugs, found and fixed in several different corners of the stack.
Start with performance. PR 95924, from Rahul Agarwal, tackles Flight payloads in the App Router repeating the full chunk URL list for every client module reference — bloating server-rendered HTML. The fix dictionary-encodes those repeated lists instead of sending them raw. In the same vein, Luke Sandberg's PR 95910…
Second theme: dev-time validation is getting sharper. Aurora Scharff opened two "bug-witness" test PRs — 95915 and 95918 — that intentionally fail to document real gaps. One shows that navigation signals like not-found or redirect in a parent layout wrongly trigger an instant-validation error, even though that's…
Third, smaller but worth knowing: Austin Serb's PR 95917 fixes middleware rewrites breaking behind TLS proxies when using loopback hosts like 127.0.0.1, and dayongkr's PR 95920 finally wires the web vitals attribution option into the reporting hook, so that experimental setting actually does something now.
On the infrastructure side, Marcos Hernanz landed PR 95909 fixing broken Rust…
