The lead signal: fully static navigation is moving from experimental to stable, with much stricter build guarantees.
First theme, static navigation. Pull request 99171 implements ensure static equals navigation, making all prerenders blocking. Every route parameter must be listed up front through generate static params, similar to a full export. The goal is no per-request compute — no serving a fallback plus a resume for a param…
Second, Turbopack reliability. Four merged fixes target tree-shaking and module splitting. Number 95516 fixes empty chunks shifting part IDs and causing panics. Number 95522 stops splitting an internal proxy module and preserves chunking annotations for app router layouts. Number 95529 preserves import with clauses,…
Third, upgrades and runtime correctness. On upgrades, 99222 narrows security checks to relevant versions and only nudges when a ready target exists, while 99002 surfaces that as a vulnerability insight in DevTools. A series of AI upgrade prompts adds choices for model, effort, permissions, worktrees, and going back…
What's next: watch the open proposal in 99342 to respect minimum…
