Good morning, it's Thursday, September 24th, 2026, and this is Next Js Daily.
The lead story: Turbopack is doing less wasted work in production while fixing correctness in how it generates code.
First, production chunking. Pull request 99100 stops re-chunking every App Router layout segment once per page. The manually built server-utilities chunk group is now development only. In production, a shared root layout and nested dashboard layout were being chunked repeatedly for each endpoint below them, with…
Related, pull request 99115 fixes graph identity for client reference proxies and Web Assembly loaders. Both now generate code under their wrapper module identity using one shared helper, instead of delegating to a separate virtual module. That lets export-usage analysis see real usage and avoids falling back to…
Second, stricter static guarantees. Pull request 98249 adjusts instant validation to check the static shell stage when ensure static is set to shell or prefetch, since the client reuses a static shell and it cannot access session data. An open follow-up, pull request 99171, would extend that to ensure static…
Third, a push to test on real deployments. Merged changes 98847,…
