Good morning, it's October 14th, 2026.

The lead pattern today is Turbopack getting chunk identity right, especially around dynamic imports and shared code.

First, Pages Router preloads. PR 100091 fixes a dev regression where a dynamic component rendered by the shared app wrapper caused the page's server HTML to preload a chunk that returns 404. The component still rendered, but browsers logged a failed request. The fix chunks the shared wrapper's dynamic imports with…

Related, PR 99940 fixes development build errors when lazy dynamic imports reach the same shared target through different parent chunk groups. The chunk-list identity was omitting availability context, so different content collided on the same output path. And PR 100046 fixes App Router edge route handlers failing…

Second, a leaner, clearer dev runtime. PR 99671 simplifies how the HMR runtime instantiates modules, cutting stack depth. The reported result roughly doubles how deep a chain of trivial modules can evaluate before hitting a range error, moving dev much closer to production. Separately, PR 100087 corrects a…

In infrastructure, PR 100111 splits the filesystem-cache end-to-end test into four focused suites, PR…
