Good morning. It's July 11th, and this is Next.js Daily.
Today's biggest signal is a coordinated push to tighten rules around Cache Components and partial prefetching, all traced back to work by Janka Uryga.
The centerpiece is PR 95384, which makes synchronous I-O — things like calling cookies and then Date-dot-now — always an error outside the dynamic rendering stage when partial prefetching is on. Previously, the system split rendering into early and late stages and only flagged the problem in early ones. That split…
Second theme: request correctness bugs with real production impact. Tim Neutkens' PR 95607 fixes a hang where POST requests passing through middleware would never complete, because a buffered stream retained leftover writable-side internals that confused Node's Readable-to-Web conversion. Root cause aside, the fix…
Rounding out the day: a React upstream bump in PR 95687, LightningCSS custom media query support restored in PR 95689, and documentation work — notably a new Building guide and updated Cache Components migration guidance — aimed at helping teams navigate this same instant-versus-dynamic staging model.
What to remember: if your routes use allow-runtime or…
