Good morning, it's Saturday, October 10th, 2026.
The big signal today is Turbopack correctness around chunking and caching, with fixes for missing modules in development and panics in persistent builds.
First, Pages Router development chunking. A six-part stack reworks how underscore-app and page code are grouped. Pull request 98823 chains underscore-app and the page into a single module graph, after separate graphs caused availability checks to skip needed shared modules. Pull request 99910 adds a regression test…
Second, Turbopack stability and observability. Pull request 99902 fixes two garbage collection paths that left half-torn-down dependency edges, which triggered a missing-task panic when collection and persistent caching ran together. Companion cleanup in 99955 removes per-shard modification counters from snapshots.…
Finally, release and test hygiene. Pull request 99807 replaces per-version release branches with two long-lived L-T-S refs for active and maintenance lines, with follow-ups to cover older tags and non-L-T-S releases. On testing, a new Vercel-only gate keeps platform-specific deploy tests from failing elsewhere,…
What's next: watch for the remaining chunk-group…
