Good morning. It's August 27th, and today's codebase activity centers on Turbopack stability and a wave of App Router edge-case fixes.
The biggest theme is Turbopack concurrency and correctness. Sokra landed a fix for a re-export cycle deadlock, PR ninety-seven nine thirty-three, by making side-effect classification independent of full module analysis — previously, an import cycle could re-enter an already-running analysis task and lock up. A…
The second theme is App Router correctness at the edges. Several PRs fixed narrow but real routing bugs: intercepted catch-all routes losing their array shape during navigation, dynamic route segments with non-Latin-1 characters throwing on prerender, and root parameter names that aren't valid JavaScript identifiers…
Worth noting: image optimization saw a full cycle in one day. AVIF support was reverted, then re-enabled by eps1lon in PR ninety-seven nine thirty-one after bumping sharp to patch a dependency issue, with backports following for older release lines. Separately, zeeshan56656 fixed the image optimizer silently…
Also notable: Andrew Clark ported React's gate test directive into the e2e harness, replacing indefinite test skips with…
