Next.js Daily: Routing Edge Cases and the Deploy Test Cleanup
Vercel engineers landed a cluster of Pages Router prefetch fixes and adapter routing corrections, while a separate large-scale effort re-enabled over 100 previously skipped deployment tests across the test suite. Turbopack also saw continued precision work on tree-shaking and module graph tracing.

It's September 16th, and here's what moved in Next.js.
The biggest signal today: a cluster of routing edge cases got fixed, all tracing back to mismatches between how a route is requested and how it's cached or matched.
Start with the Pages Router. Stanzilla's PRs 98182 and 98187 fix a bug where the client router filter's prefetch marker was keyed by the wrong path — href instead of the normalized as path. That mismatch caused the router to misplace or leak an internal marker during navigation, and a companion PR made sure that…
Second theme: a coordinated push to re-enable deployment tests. Jamiboy Mohammad landed six PRs — covering app router, pages router, caching, tooling, assets, and runtime suites — restoring well over a hundred previously skipped deployment test scopes rooted on canary. Nothing new was added; this was about removing…
Third, Turbopack continues precision work on tree-shaking and correctness. Sam Poder's PR 96282 forwards usage information across re-exports so unused code in barrel files can actually be eliminated, built on Sokra's constructor refactor in PR 98680. Sokra also fixed a cyclic module graph tracer panic in PR 98661…
What to watch: the routing marker…
