Next.js Daily: Dev Server Reliability Sweep
A cluster of fixes targets development-time reliability, hitting Rspack crashes, Turbopack HMR races, WebSocket reconnect loops, and Tailwind rebuild churn, while a separate group of PRs closes correctness gaps in caching and rendering around cookies, search params, and static prerendering.

Good morning. It's September 4th, and today's activity is dominated by one theme: making the dev server behave predictably under concurrent, fast-moving conditions.
Several PRs converge on the same class of bug: state getting read or reused before it's actually settled. Marcos Hernanz fixed a Rust panic in PR 98228 where the error overlay read stale compilation data mid-rebuild under Rspack. Tim Neutkens tackled a similar race in Turbopack's HMR subscription system in PR 98215,…
A second theme is prerendering and caching correctness. PR 98234 fixes a false "search params can't be read" error when a cached page simply forwards props to a child component. PR 98255 closes a gap where dynamic access tracking was missing during final runtime prerenders, not just prospective ones. And PR 98230…
A few smaller but sharp fixes are worth flagging: PR 98123 from Josh Story now returns proper 400 and 409 errors for unrecognized Server Actions instead of generic 500s, tightening behavior around deployment skew. PR 98231 fixes cookies inside "after" callbacks so they reflect mutations made earlier in the same…
What's next: watch for the hourly next-maintainer auto-close workflow now live in…
That's…
