🎯 Changes

Rsbuild import protection reads the outgoing connections of every module in every environment on every compilation, even when the previous scan found nothing. In large apps this dominates dev rebuilds (see @agneym's numbers below: ~215 ms per environment per compile, more than half of HMR latency).

1. Read connections only for modules that can report a violation, which applies to both dev and build. file and specifier violations need shouldCheckImporter(importer), and marker violations are dropped by finish() when their importer fails it. So the scan skips connection reads for importers that are not import-protection source files or fail shouldCheckImporter. When the filtered scan finds a candidate, a second pass collects the skipped modules so traces still start at the real entry (for example the node_modules client entry), not src/router.tsx. Suggested by @agneym.

2. Skip violations that were already reported. With log: 'once' (the default), candidates whose dedupe key was already reported are dropped before the graph and enrichment work. A compilation where nothing unreported remains counts as clean.

3. Incremental dev scans. After a clean scan, the next dev compilation checks only compilation.builtModules, their direct importers (a rebuilt dependency can gain a server-only/client-only marker without its importer being rebuilt) and entry modules, with the same eligibility filter. It falls back to the full scan when:

  • the incremental scan finds an unreported violation (reported violations always come from the full graph)
  • a file was removed, or a changed file is not the resource of a rebuilt module. Such files, like package.json import maps or tsconfig.json paths, can re-resolve imports in modules that were not rebuilt. package.json/tsconfig*.json always count, even when imported as a module. Changed watched directories (contextDependencies, such as Tailwind content paths) are ignored because the files inside them are listed too.
  • the previous compilation didn't reach the report stage
  • it's not a dev build

The state is one map per environment, advanced in the existing thisCompilation tap. rebuilt-modules.ts is also added by #8800; both copies are identical.

Measurements

TSR_IMPORT_PROTECTION_PERF, default tanstackStart() config, single edit per rebuild:

before after
import-protection fixture, dev rebuild scan (standing violations, log: 'once') 41ms ~1.3 ms
basic fixture (Tailwind), dev rebuild scan 38-40ms ~1.35 ms
basic fixture, production build scan 31–35 ms 17–18 ms

@agneym's app (~3,000 modules per environment, 1.171.49): filtering alone took the full scan from ~190 ms to ~35 ms per environment, and HMR from ~2.4 s to 1.07–1.44 s with protection enabled.

Tests

In e2e/react-start/import-protection (Rsbuild-only):

  • development rebuilds check changed modules, importers and re-resolved imports runs a real dev server and makes four edits:
    • a code-only edit takes the incremental path (checked via perf counters)
    • an edit to a module with standing, already-reported violations stays incremental and adds no enrichment
    • re-pointing a package.json import map at a .server file reports the violation
    • a dependency gaining server-only reports a marker violation for its unchanged importer
  • client violation traces start at the client entry checks that the filtered scan keeps full traces.

Unit: tests/rsbuild/rebuilt-modules.test.ts covers the re-resolution check, including the watched-directory case.

Each fix was verified to fail its test when disabled.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Rsbuild development rebuilds can check only affected modules when it’s safe, making import-protection checks faster. Checks fall back to a full scan when changes could affect import resolution or reveal a new violation.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Previously reported violations are no longer repeatedly reported, and client-side violation traces begin at the client entry point for clearer diagnostics.
    • Import-protection scans avoid checking modules that cannot report violations while still building complete traces when violations are found.

… protection in dev

After a clean scan, the next development compilation checks rebuilt modules,
their direct importers (a rebuilt dependency can gain a marker without its
importer changing), and entry modules. Any candidate, removed file, or
compilation that skipped the report stage falls back to the full scan, so
violations are still reported from the complete module graph.

Walkthrough

Rsbuild import protection now uses rebuild information to select modules for eligible development scans. Full scans filter eligible modules and previously reported violations, and build graph data when violations remain. Tests cover incremental rebuild behavior and client trace origins.

Changes: Rsbuild import protection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rebuild selection helpers
packages/start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/rebuilt-modules.ts, packages/start-plugin-core/tests/rsbuild/rebuilt-modules.test.ts
New helpers identify rebuilt modules and their direct importers. They detect removed files and changes that may have re-resolved imports. Unit tests cover these conditions.
Incremental scan lifecycle
packages/start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts, packages/start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/INTERNALS-import-protection.md, packages/start-plugin-core/tests/rsbuild/import-protection.test.ts, e2e/react-start/import-protection/tests/import-protection.spec.ts
The plugin tracks scan state per environment and checks rebuilt modules, their importers, and entry modules during eligible development compilations. End-to-end tests check warning and scan-counter behavior after fixture edits.
Filtered full scans and reporting
packages/start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts, packages/start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/INTERNALS-import-protection.md, e2e/react-start/import-protection/tests/import-protection.spec.ts, .changeset/rsbuild-incremental-import-protection.md
Full scans filter eligible modules and previously reported violations. The plugin collects graph nodes when violations remain and updates scan state after reporting. Tests check client trace origins. Documentation and the changeset describe the scan changes.

Numbers from my app, in case they help this PR.

Setup: personal site on TanStack Start + Rsbuild. @tanstack/start-plugin-core 1.171.49, @rsbuild/core 2.2.12 (Rspack 2.2.8), 4-core Linux. About 3,000 modules per environment.

Cost of the full scan today. With TSR_IMPORT_PROTECTION_PERF=1, processAssets averaged 215 ms (max 338 ms) per compile, per environment. Nearly all of it was in processAssets.forEachModules. There were 0 candidates on every compile.

I timed the pieces of forEachModules for one client compile (SSR is similar):

modules 2,958 (2,847 in node_modules, 104 in src)
edges walked 18,418
getOutgoingConnectionsInOrder ~45 ms
iterating connections (.module / .dependency / hasModuleError) ~58 ms
hasModuleError on each module ~16 ms
visitNode ~30–75 ms

Effect on HMR. I timed four isolated edits to one component, measuring from file write to the DOM update.

median
default ~2.4 s
importProtection: { enabled: false } ~1.05 s

So import protection accounts for more than half of the HMR latency here. That's partly because Rsbuild waits for both the client and SSR compiles before it sends the update.

A complementary idea for the full-scan path. The full scan still runs on the first compile, after file removals, when a candidate is found, and in production builds. Its cost there is mostly importers that can never produce a violation. specifier and file violations need shouldCheckImporter(importer), and finish() drops marker targets whose importer fails it. Skipping those modules before reading their connections preserves detection:

for (const module of opts.modules) {
  if (hasModuleError(module)) continue
  const importer = getModuleResource(module)
  if (!isImportProtectionSourceFile(importer) || !opts.shouldCheckImporter(importer)) continue
  const connections = opts.compilation.moduleGraph.getOutgoingConnectionsInOrder(module)
  // ...
}

Locally, that took the scan from about 190 ms to about 35 ms per environment, and edges walked from 18,418 to 2,014. HMR came down to 1.07–1.44 s with protection still enabled. I added import "../leak.server" to a component, and it was reported with the same rule, importer and location as before.

The one difference was the trace. It started at src/router.tsx instead of the node_modules client entry, because those nodes weren't collected. To keep full traces, the filtered scan could be used only for detection, with the full snapshot built only once a candidate is found.

I haven't tried this PR's branch on the app yet. I'm happy to run it and report back.

… from their request

An importer Rspack restores from its persistent cache (performance.buildCache)
in a new process requests edge modules nothing registered: the warm build
failed with "Can't resolve .../edge.<key>.mjs" for every edge module. The
importer's request now carries the module's content (?tss-ip=<base64url>,
checked against the key that digests it); a normalModuleFactory beforeResolve
tap defines unknown edge modules and the runtime from it before they resolve.
The rewrite of every known edge module at thisCompilation is gone.

Tests: Rsbuild cold+warm builds with buildCache in error and mock mode and with
an onViolation veto; Rsbuild dev edits that add a .server import, add or remove
a server-only marker of an unchanged importer's dependency (upstream #8798,
#8801 scenarios).

…that can violate

Import protection now reads outgoing connections only for parseable source files that pass the importer checks; other modules cannot produce a violation. When a scan finds a candidate, the remaining modules are read before building the import graph, so traces still start at the entry. The incremental development scan uses the same filter.

Moves the development rebuild test into the import-protection e2e suite and adds a check that Rsbuild client violation traces start at the client entry.

So import protection accounts for more than half of the HMR latency here. That's partly because Rsbuild waits for both the client and SSR compiles before it sends the update.

web-infra-dev/rsbuild#8729

I just had a pr merged into rsbuild to try and avoid SSR impacting HMR latency for web builds - so hopefully that should be improved in a future release too

…, skip reported violations

A changed package.json import map, exports map or tsconfig paths can re-resolve imports in modules that are not rebuilt, so the incremental scan missed the new violation. Fall back to the full scan when a changed or removed file is not a rebuilt module, or is a package.json or tsconfig file.

With log: 'once', a reported violation is never reported again, but every scan still rebuilt its trace and snippet before discarding it, and any violation kept development rebuilds off the fast path. Skip already-reported violations before enrichment, and treat a scan that leaves nothing to report as clean.

# #Plugin hooks

This page outlines the plugin hooks available for Rsbuild plugins.

## #Overview

### #Common hooks

  * modifyRsbuildConfig: Modify the configuration passed to Rsbuild.
  * modifyEnvironmentConfig: Modify the Rsbuild configuration of a specific environment.
  * modifyRspackConfig: Modify the configuration passed to Rspack.
  * modifyBundlerChain: Modify the configuration of Rspack through the chain API.
  * modifyHTMLTags: Modify the tags that are injected into the HTML.
  * modifyHTML: Modify the final HTML content.
  * onBeforeCreateCompiler: Called before creating a compiler instance.
  * onAfterCreateCompiler: Called after creating a compiler instance and before building.
  * onBeforeEnvironmentCompile: Called before the compilation of a single environment.
  * onAfterEnvironmentCompile: Called after the compilation of a single environment. You can get the build result information.
## #Hooks order

### #Dev hooks

When the `rsbuild dev` command or `rsbuild.startDevServer()` method is executed, Rsbuild will execute the following hooks in order:

  * modifyRsbuildConfig
  * modifyEnvironmentConfig
  * onBeforeStartDevServer
  * modifyBundlerChain
  * modifyRspackConfig
  * onBeforeCreateCompiler
  * onAfterCreateCompiler
  * onBeforeDevCompile
  * onBeforeEnvironmentCompile
  * onAfterStartDevServer
  * modifyHTMLTags
  * modifyHTML
  * onAfterEnvironmentCompile
  * onAfterDevCompile
  * onCloseDevServer
  * onExit

When rebuilding, the following hooks will be triggered again:

  * onBeforeDevCompile
  * onBeforeEnvironmentCompile
  * modifyHTMLTags
  * modifyHTML
  * onAfterEnvironmentCompile
  * onAfterDevCompile

### #Build hooks

When the `rsbuild build` command or `rsbuild.build()` method is executed, Rsbuild will execute the following hooks in order:

  * modifyRsbuildConfig
  * modifyEnvironmentConfig
  * modifyBundlerChain
  * modifyRspackConfig
  * onBeforeCreateCompiler
  * onAfterCreateCompiler
  * onBeforeBuild
  * onBeforeEnvironmentCompile
  * modifyHTMLTags
  * modifyHTML
  * onAfterEnvironmentCompile
  * onAfterBuild
  * onCloseBuild
  * onExit

When rebuilding, the following hooks will be triggered again:

  * onBeforeBuild
  * onBeforeEnvironmentCompile
  * modifyHTMLTags
  * modifyHTML
  * onAfterEnvironmentCompile
  * onAfterBuild

### #Preview hooks

When executing the `rsbuild preview` command or `rsbuild.preview()` method, Rsbuild will execute the following hooks in order:

  * modifyRsbuildConfig
  * modifyEnvironmentConfig
  * onBeforeStartPreviewServer
  * onAfterStartPreviewServer
  * onExit

## #Global hooks vs environment hooks

In Rsbuild, some plugin hooks are global. These hooks relate to Rsbuild&#39;s startup process or other shared logic and run across all environments. For example:

  * `modifyRsbuildConfig` is used to modify the basic configuration of Rsbuild. The basic configuration will eventually be merged with the environment configuration;
  * `onBeforeStartDevServer` and `onAfterStartDevServer` are related to the Rsbuild dev server startup process, all environments share Rsbuild&#39;s dev server, middleware, and WebSocket.

Correspondingly, there are some plugin hooks that are related to the current environment. These hooks are executed with a specific environment context and are triggered multiple times depending on the environment.

### #Global hooks

  * modifyRsbuildConfig
  * onBeforeStartDevServer
  * onBeforeCreateCompiler
  * onAfterCreateCompiler
  * onAfterStartDevServer
  * onBeforeDevCompile
  * onAfterDevCompile
  * onCloseDevServer
  * onBeforeBuild
  * onAfterBuild
  * onCloseBuild
  * onBeforeStartPreviewServer
  * onAfterStartPreviewServer
  * onRestart
  * onExit

### #Environment hooks

  * modifyEnvironmentConfig
  * modifyBundlerChain
  * modifyRspackConfig
  * modifyHTMLTags
  * modifyHTML
  * onBeforeEnvironmentCompile
  * onAfterEnvironmentCompile

## #Callback order

### #Default behavior

If multiple plugins register the same hook, the callback functions of the hook will execute in the order in which they were registered.

In the following example, the console will output `&#39;1&#39;` and `&#39;2&#39;` in sequence:
    
    `const plugin1 = () =&gt; ({
      setup(api) {
        api.modifyRsbuildConfig(() =&gt; console.log(&#39;1&#39;));
      },
    });
    
    const plugin2 = () =&gt; ({
      setup(api) {
        api.modifyRsbuildConfig(() =&gt; console.log(&#39;2&#39;));
      },
    });
    
    rsbuild.addPlugins([plugin1, plugin2]);`

### #`order` Field

When registering a hook, you can declare the order of hook through the `order` field.
    
    `type HookDescriptor&lt;T extends (...args: any[]) =&gt; any&gt; = {
      handler: T;
      order: &#39;pre&#39; | &#39;post&#39; | &#39;default&#39;;
    };`

In the following example, the console will sequentially output `&#39;2&#39;` and `&#39;1&#39;`, because `order` was set to `pre` when plugin2 called `modifyRsbuildConfig`.
    
    `const plugin1 = () =&gt; ({
      setup(api) {
        api.modifyRsbuildConfig(() =&gt; console.log(&#39;1&#39;));
      },
    });
    
    const plugin2 = () =&gt; ({
      setup(api) {
        api.modifyRsbuildConfig({
          handler: () =&gt; console.log(&#39;2&#39;),
          order: &#39;pre&#39;,
        });
      },
    });
    
    rsbuild.addPlugins([plugin1, plugin2]);`

## #Common hooks

### #modifyRsbuildConfig

Modify the config passed to the Rsbuild, you can directly modify the config object, or return a new object to replace the previous object.

Warning

`modifyRsbuildConfig` is a global hook. To add support for your plugin as an environment-specific plugin, you should use modifyEnvironmentConfig instead of `modifyRsbuildConfig`.

  * Type:
    
    `type ModifyRsbuildConfigUtils = {
      mergeRsbuildConfig: typeof mergeRsbuildConfig;
    };
    
    function ModifyRsbuildConfig(
      callback: (
        config: RsbuildConfig,
        utils: ModifyRsbuildConfigUtils,
      ) =&gt; MaybePromise&lt;RsbuildConfig | void&gt;,
    ): void;`

  * Example: Setting a default value for a specific config option:
    
    `const myPlugin = () =&gt; ({
      setup(api) {
        api.modifyRsbuildConfig((config) =&gt; {
          config.html ||= {};
          config.html.title = &#39;My Default Title&#39;;
        });
      },
    });`

  * Example: Using `mergeRsbuildConfig` to merge config objects, and return the merged object.
### #modifyRspackConfig

To modify the Rspack config, you can directly modify the config object, or return a new object to replace the previous object.

Tip

`modifyRspackConfig` is executed earlier than tools.rspack. Therefore, the modifications made by `tools.rspack` cannot be obtained in `modifyRspackConfig`.

  * Type:
    
    `type ModifyRspackConfigUtils = {
      environment: EnvironmentContext;
      environments: Record&lt;string, EnvironmentContext&gt;;
      env: string;
      isDev: boolean;
      isProd: boolean;
      target: RsbuildTarget;
      isServer: boolean;
      isWebWorker: boolean;

      rspack: typeof import(&#39;@rspack/core&#39;).rspack;

    };
    
    function ModifyRspackConfig(
      callback: (
        config: Rspack.Configuration,
        utils: ModifyRspackConfigUtils,
      ) =&gt; MaybePromise&lt;Rspack.Configuration | void&gt;,
    ): void;`

  * Example:
    
    `const myPlugin = () =&gt; ({
This hook is called when you run `rsbuild.startDevServer`, `rsbuild.build`, or `rsbuild.createCompiler`.

You can access the Compiler instance through the `compiler` parameter:

  * Type:
    
    `function OnAfterCreateCompiler(
      callback: (params: {
        compiler: Compiler | MultiCompiler;
        environments: Record&lt;string, EnvironmentContext&gt;;
      }) =&gt; Promise&lt;void&gt; | void,
    ): void;`

  * Example:
    
    `const myPlugin = () =&gt; ({
      setup(api) {
        api.onAfterCreateCompiler(({ compiler }) =&gt; {
          console.log(&#39;the compiler is &#39;, compiler);
        });
      },
    });`

### #onBeforeEnvironmentCompile

A callback function that is triggered before the compilation of a single environment.

You can access the Rspack configuration for the current environment through the `bundlerConfig` parameter.

Moreover, you can use `isWatch` to determine whether it is dev or build watch mode, and use `isFirstCompile` to determine whether it is the first build in watch mode.

  * Type:
    
    `function OnBeforeEnvironmentCompile(
      callback: (params: {
        isWatch: boolean;
        isFirstCompile: boolean;
        bundlerConfig?: Rspack.Configuration;
        environment: EnvironmentContext;
      }) =&gt; Promise&lt;void&gt; | void,
    ): void;`

  * Example:
    
    `const myPlugin = () =&gt; ({
      setup(api) {
        api.onBeforeEnvironmentCompile(({ bundlerConfig, environment }) =&gt; {
          console.log(
            `the bundler config for the ${environment.name} is `,
            bundlerConfig,
          );
        });
      },
    });`

### #onAfterEnvironmentCompile

A callback function that is triggered after the compilation of a single environment. You can access the build result information via the stats parameter.

Moreover, you can use `isWatch` to determine whether it is dev or build watch mode, and use `isFirstCompile` to determine whether it is the first build.

  * Type:
    
    `function OnAfterEnvironmentCompile(
      callback: (params: {
        isFirstCompile: boolean;
        isWatch: boolean;
        stats?: Stats;
        environment: EnvironmentContext;
        /**
         * The time it takes to build the current environment in milliseconds.
         */
        time: number;
      }) =&gt; Promise&lt;void&gt; | void,
    ): void;`

  * Example:
    
    `const myPlugin = () =&gt; ({
      setup(api) {
        api.onAfterEnvironmentCompile(({ isFirstCompile, stats }) =&gt; {
          console.log(stats?.toJson(), isFirstCompile);
        });
      },
    });`


  * Type:
    
    `type ReadonlyRoutes = ReadonlyArray&lt;{
      readonly entryName: string;
      readonly pathname: string;
    }&gt;;
    
    function OnAfterStartDevServer(
      callback: (params: {
        port: number;
        routes: ReadonlyRoutes;
        environments: Record&lt;string, EnvironmentContext&gt;;
      }) =&gt; Promise&lt;void&gt; | void,
    ): void;`

  * Example:
    
    `const myPlugin = () =&gt; ({
      setup(api) {
        api.onAfterStartDevServer(({ port, routes }) =&gt; {
          console.log(&#39;this port is: &#39;, port);
          console.log(&#39;this routes is: &#39;, routes);
        });
      },
    });`

### #onBeforeDevCompile

A callback function that is triggered before the dev compile is executed.

You can access the Rspack configuration array through the `bundlerConfigs` parameter. The array may contain one or more Rspack configurations. It depends on whether multiple environments are configured.

Moreover, you can use `isFirstCompile` to determine whether it is the first compile.

Correct the hook order.

modifyRspackConfig runs only for the initial compilation and runs before onBeforeEnvironmentCompile. Rebuilds run onBeforeEnvironmentCompile without rerunning modifyRspackConfig. Distinguish these cases in the lifecycle list.

Update the lifecycle list so modifyRspackConfig appears before
onBeforeEnvironmentCompile, and distinguish their invocation scope:
modifyRspackConfig runs only during the initial compilation, while
onBeforeEnvironmentCompile runs during the initial compilation and rebuilds.
