The streaming issue, addressed in PR 94783, tackled a specific problem where cached content would flash Suspense fallbacks during warm navigations instead of delivering cached content as part of the initial shell. The fix introduced a reveal-after mechanism to coordinate timing between server streaming and…

Two PRs focused on the dev overlay, moving error toolbar controls into dialog headers and wiring Link prefetch warnings directly into the Insights system instead of plain console errors. This represents a broader push toward surfacing actionable guidance…
Under the hood, turbo-tasks got a memory optimization in PR 94792, shrinking two core data structures - Raw VC from 16 to 8 bytes and Cell ID from 6 to 4 bytes. Given these types appear throughout the task graph in large numbers, the change should measurably reduce peak memory on large builds.
The test infrastructure…
