Pull request 98677 extends that to validation workers, returning worker spans to the main thread under the real validation span.…
Second, Turbopack correctness and build cost. Pull request 101172, still open, fixes production preloads pointing at chunks that were never emitted when a client component with dynamic imports is shared by layout and page, which caused 404s.
