Subject: [PATCH 0001/1425] test(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): cover
 compiler output regressions

Add engine-agnostic regression tests for compiler output found while
reviewing the compiler migration (#8504). They only use the public
compiler entry points and validate emitted code with Vite's Oxc
transform/parser (TypeScript erased, parsed as a JS module with semantic
checks), so they run unchanged against any compiler implementation.

router-plugin:
- every emitted code-splitter module stays valid for re-exported imports,
  partially exported destructuring and anonymous default exports
- self-/mutually-referencing side effects stay in the reference module
- namespace imports used by `import X = ns.X` and decorator placement
  before `export` are preserved
- React Refresh hoisting keeps closures in scope, hoists the root route
  component, and declares hoisted components before use

start-plugin-core:
- self-referencing user code survives client and server compilation
- nested and switch-case createServerFn keep provider modules valid
- aliased createClientOnlyFn re-exports are transformed in SSR
- Hydrate split modules: parent/fallback-only bindings are removed, text
  children render decoded entities, `'use client'` stays first

Subject: [PATCH 0002/1425] test: require hoisting and declared bindings in
 compiler regression tests

- The React Refresh ordering test now requires the inline pendingComponent
  to be hoisted instead of passing when it stays inline, since main hoists it
  and React Refresh needs a top-level binding.
- The self-referencing side-effect tests also assert that each binding the
  callbacks use is still declared. The module validator does not report
  references to undeclared names. The Start variant now validates the module.

Subject: [PATCH 0003/1425] test(router-plugin, start-plugin-core,
 router-generator, react-start-rsc): cover compiler edge cases

Engine-agnostic tests through public compiler entry points, passing on
main. They cover:

- code-splitter module state shared with exported functions, `var`
  declared inside top-level statements, long method chains, duplicate
  split keys, split options that read `Route`, route options declared
  in a variable, re-exports, type-only syntax, private class members,
  and namespace JSX tags
- the code-splitter plugin pipeline: analysis cache keys and eviction,
  plugin-level `splitBehavior`, config `deleteNodes`, and the
  non-split HMR plugin for Solid and Vue
- the route generator transform with parenthesized call parts, and
  byte-exact edits after a BOM or astral characters
- the Start compiler: dev-mode server function ids, provider
  directives, handler name versioning, provider export removal,
  cross-module factory resolution, invalidation, and diagnostic
  locations
- Hydrate children with block-bodied callbacks, self-closing
  boundaries, captures, split attributes, and the virtual module cache
- import-protection exports, member-chain boundaries, source-mapped
  locations, and executed denied-import rewrites
- RSC CSS transform import shapes and argument unwrapping

Subject: [PATCH 0004/1425] test(router-plugin, start-plugin-core,
 react-start-rsc): pin known compiler bugs as expected failures

Reproduce 24 compiler/runtime bugs found while validating the Babel to Yuku
migration (#8504) that also break on main. Each test asserts the correct,
user-visible behaviour through public compiler entry points and is marked
`.fails`, so CI stays green and the test flips once a fix lands.

- start compiler: export * cache poisoning, server fn named `opts`,
  createServerOnlyFn handlers, unresolved builder chains, generated-name
  collisions, nested createServerFn
- code splitter / HMR: shared reassigned let, several createFileRoute calls,
  object-form loader, duplicated destructuring initializer, duplicated side
  effects, options-variable TDZ, user `hot` binding, CommonJS route HMR
- Hydrate: fallback boundary indices, key/ref captures, await, Route, namespace
  import, shadowing, comment-only children with spread, H0 helper collision
- RSC CSS: comments before JSX, options after spread
- import protection: `export * as ns` from a denied module

`validate-module.ts` and `compile-start-module.ts` are copied verbatim from
#8629 (test/compiler-regression-coverage).

Subject: [PATCH 0005/1425] test(start-plugin-core): port Next.js server
 actions fixtures to createServerFn

Translate the scenarios of Next.js's server-actions transform fixtures
(crates/next-custom-transforms/tests/fixture/server-actions) to the
createServerFn client, SSR caller and provider outputs: captured module
bindings, shadowing, destructuring, handler forms, directives, export
forms, non-ASCII names and client/server-only code side by side.

The destructuring default and computed-key cases pass on main and fail
with the Yuku compiler (#8504), which keeps every sibling of a live
destructuring and with it a server-only import in the client output.

Subject: [PATCH 0006/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin a 'use client'
 provider bug found via Next.js fixtures

Ported from the module-level directive scenarios of Next.js's
server-actions transform fixtures. The server-function provider module
keeps its source module's 'use client' directive, so an RSC provider
environment would turn its handlers into client references.

Subject: [PATCH 0007/1425] test(router-plugin): port Next.js SSG and React
 Router route-chunk splitting scenarios

Translate edge cases from Next.js's SSG transform fixtures and React Router's
route-chunks / remove-exports tests into code-splitter coverage: imports used
in JSX positions, shadowed names, transitive pruning of every declaration
kind, destructurings and multi-declarator statements split across groups,
mutually recursive shared helpers, nested-scope dependency analysis, helpers
shared with the loader, top-level calls on imports and split chunk source
maps. All scenarios already behave correctly; these tests pin them.

Subject: [PATCH 0008/1425] test(router-plugin): pin splitting bugs found via
 Next.js and React Router fixtures

Port scenarios from Next.js's SSG transform fixtures and React Router's
route-chunks / remove-exports tests that the code splitter still gets wrong,
as expected failures:

- a destructuring with an unreferenced sibling binding is kept in the
  reference module and copied into the split chunk, so its initializer runs
  twice
- a top-level statement that initializes or mutates a binding only the split
  component reads runs in the reference module and again in the chunk
- property assignments to a split component (displayName etc.) stay in the
  reference module (ReferenceError on main, unsplit duplicate on the Yuku PR)

Subject: [PATCH 0009/1425] test(start-plugin-core, router-plugin): port Qwik
 optimizer extraction edge cases

Port capture and extraction scenarios from the Qwik optimizer test suite
(QwikDev/qwik, packages/optimizer/core/src/test.rs) to the Hydrate split
transform, server function extraction and route code splitting. All of
them pass with both the Babel and the Yuku compiler.

Subject: [PATCH 0010/1425] test(start-plugin-core, router-plugin): pin
 compiler bugs found by porting Qwik optimizer tests

Pin, as expected failures, bugs found by porting capture and extraction
scenarios from the Qwik optimizer test suite (QwikDev/qwik,
packages/optimizer/core/src/test.rs). They fail with both the Babel and
the Yuku compiler:

- Hydrate copies module-level declarations into the split chunk, so a
  module-level context is re-created and a parent-reassigned let is stale
- Hydrate drops top-level statements the children rely on (compound
  component member assignments, Object.assign, registry calls)
- recursive components inside their own boundary get client boundary ids
  the server never rendered and lazy imports of missing chunks
- `this` of a nested function in the children is rejected as a capture
- `React.useId()` in the children bypasses the hook check
- route code splitting re-creates a private context used by both the
  reference module and the split component

Subject: [PATCH 0011/1425] test(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): cover
 real-world compiler shapes

Adds regression coverage derived from a differential audit of in-repo
examples/e2e apps and open-source TanStack Router/Start apps:

- split chunks import exported route-file bindings instead of copying them
- declarations and imports only referenced from TypeScript types survive
  (classic JSX runtime React imports, side-effecting initializers)
- TypeScript type and value exports sharing a name compile
- file-level JSX pragmas stay in split chunks and Start compiler output
- ambient declarations are not imported from the shared module
- chained comparisons in plain JavaScript route files keep their operands
- real-world route file names go through the code-splitter plugin pipeline

Subject: [PATCH 0012/1425] test(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): port React
 Compiler fixture shapes

Wrap component bodies adapted from the React Compiler fixture corpus into
route files and Start modules:

- split route components and Hydrate chunks render like the original for
  labeled breaks, shadowing catch params and function names, destructuring
  defaults, getters/computed keys, hoisted functions, optional call chains,
  tagged templates and classes with static blocks/private fields
- server function handlers that read a server-only import through unusual
  syntax positions keep it off the client
- unused locals with side-effectful initializers (hook calls) in shared route
  modules and Hydrate chunks still run; these fail on the Yuku migration,
  which removes them

Subject: [PATCH 0013/1425] test(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): pin bugs
 found with React Compiler fixtures

Expected failures for inputs adapted from the React Compiler fixture corpus,
broken on main and on the Yuku migration:

- a top-level function reassigned at module level and shared by the loader
  and the split component makes the reference module assign to an import,
  so the route module throws when it is evaluated
- a TypeScript import alias used only by Hydrate split children is not
  declared in the client chunk

Subject: [PATCH 0014/1425] test: cover exported route variables in split
 chunks and JSX pragma forms

- Split chunks import exported route-file variables (contexts, stores and
  caches built from private bindings) from the route module instead of
  redeclaring them.
- The Start compiler keeps JSX pragmas in the Hydrate chunk, line-comment and
  license-header forms, classic `@jsx` with `@jsxFrag`, and after a
  `'use client'` directive.

Both pass on main and on #8504 after its fixes.

Subject: [PATCH 0015/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin Hydrate capture bugs
 found with SolidStart directive checks

Port SolidStart's hoisting validation (`this`, `arguments`) to <Hydrate>
split children: a component's `arguments` silently changes meaning in the
chunk, and a `this` owned by a function, class or object method inside the
children is wrongly rejected. Both fail on main and on #8504.

Subject: [PATCH 0016/1425] test(start-plugin-core): port SolidStart directive
 and Waku allowServer edge cases

Translate SolidStart's "use server" directive compiler tests and helpers
(type-only import specifiers, rejected server fn positions, captured
this/arguments/super/private members, id stability and opacity, Hydrate
closure captures) and Waku's allowServer transform tests (dependency
pruning, aliasing, default exports, untouched look-alikes, zero-argument
factories, trailing comments) into Start compiler coverage for React and
Solid.

The import-alias namespace test passes on main and fails on the Yuku
compiler (#8504), which deletes the aliased namespace.

Subject: [PATCH 0017/1425] test(router-plugin): port React Refresh and
 solid-refresh scenarios to route HMR

Covers which route component shapes React Refresh registers after the HMR
transforms (checked with Vite's Oxc React Refresh transform), hook
signatures, @refresh reset, generated-name collisions, and the module shape
solid-refresh expects (registrable components, @refresh reload/skip,
top-level createContext).

Subject: [PATCH 0018/1425] test(router-plugin): pin React Refresh gaps in
 route HMR

Route HMR keeps the previous component options so React Refresh can patch
them, but inline memo/forwardRef/method-shorthand components (unsplit
routes) and lowercase variable components in split chunks are never
registered, so edits to them are silently dropped. Ported from React
Refresh's Babel plugin tests; checked with Vite's Oxc React Refresh
transform.

Subject: [PATCH 0020/1425] test: port babel-dead-code-elimination and
 Turbopack tree-shaker scenarios

Port dead-code-elimination scenarios (pcattori/babel-dead-code-elimination)
and Turbopack tree-shaker analyzer fixtures (vercel/next.js) to the code
splitter and the Start compiler: import specifier pruning, initially unused
declarations and cycles, SCC removal, write-only bindings, nested patterns
with rests and defaults, empty parameter patterns, var declarations nested
in top-level statements, import attributes, typeof references, enum IIFEs,
shared mutable state and statement order in the provider.

Subject: [PATCH 0021/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin CommonJS parse
 failures found with @vitejs/plugin-rsc cases

Files whose text matches a detection pattern (such as `.handler(`) are
parsed as strict ES modules, so CommonJS dependencies with sloppy-mode
syntax (legacy octal escapes, `with`, top-level `return`) fail the build
although they have nothing to compile. Scenario from @vitejs/plugin-rsc's
CommonJS transform tests (vitejs/vite-plugin-react, MIT).

Subject: [PATCH 0022/1425] test: pin bugs found with
 babel-dead-code-elimination and Turbopack scenarios

- code splitter: a declaration moved to the shared module evaluates before
  the top-level writes that precede it in the route file (Turbopack
  write-order / shared-2 fixtures)
- Start compiler: dropping an environment-specific implementation inside a
  hook also deletes hook calls only that implementation read (useId shifts
  between server and client)

Subject: [PATCH 0023/1425] test(router-plugin): pin shared helpers reading a
 var declared in a block

A top-level binding that reads a `var` declared inside an `if`, `try` or
`for` head is moved to the shared module when the loader and a split
component both use it, but the nested `var` is not, so calling it throws
`ReferenceError: flag is not defined`. Broken on main and on #8504.

Subject: [PATCH 0024/1425] test(router-plugin): group known bugs by area and
 merge shared root causes

Move the code-splitter bugs pinned by the original list and the Next.js,
React Router, Qwik, React Compiler and Turbopack ports into
`known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts`, and the route HMR, React Refresh and
router-core CommonJS bugs into `known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts`, so each
file has one build-and-run harness and one set of HMR compile helpers.

Pins that share a root cause become rows of one table:
- a shared binding reassigned outside the shared module (the original
  `let` pin and the React Compiler module-level reassignment, now built
  and run like the other rows);
- module state the reference module keeps for a reason outside the route
  options (the original partial-export pin, the Qwik context pin, now
  built and run, and the Next.js and React Router ports).

Add passing controls for the build-and-run harness and the React Refresh
registration checks. Every pin keeps its source attribution.

Subject: [PATCH 0025/1425] test(start-plugin-core): consolidate known Hydrate
 bugs and share their helpers

Move the Hydrate bugs pinned by the Qwik, SolidStart and React Compiler
ports into `known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts`, grouped by area (boundaries and
ids, captured values, module-level code used by the children), and replace
the four copies of the compile, chunk-loading and chunk-rendering helpers
with `known-bugs-helpers.ts`.

Merge the Qwik and SolidStart pins of "`this` owned by code inside the
children is rejected": their function-expression inputs were the same
shape, so one row keeps the Qwik input (which also captures a prop) with
the SolidStart assertions. The Qwik context and reassigned-`let` pins,
which share a root cause, become one table.

Add passing controls for boundary ids, captured props and module-level
helpers, which every Hydrate pin relies on.

Subject: [PATCH 0026/1425] test(start-plugin-core): consolidate known Start
 compiler bugs

Move the Start compiler bugs pinned by the Next.js server actions,
babel-dead-code-elimination and @vitejs/plugin-rsc ports into
`known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`, and build their compilers with the
shared `createStartModuleCompiler` helper instead of two more copies of
the `StartCompiler` setup.

The export * diamond and cycle pins share a root cause and become one
table. The `opts` handler pin sits next to the other generated-name
collision pins.

Add passing controls showing that a server fn's server-only import is
removed from the client (directly and through an imported builder) and
that the provider stub harness runs a handler.

Subject: [PATCH 0027/1425] test(router-plugin): share compiler regression test
 helpers

The regression suites each re-implemented the same plumbing. Move it into
`tests/regression-helpers.ts`:

- `compileRouteModules` (reference, virtual chunks and shared module, with
  optional route HMR, Solid target or file name) and `expectValidModules`,
  previously copied into 12 files
- `buildAndRun`, the Vite build-and-run harness copied into 5 files
- `createCodeSplitterTransforms` and `transformWithRouteHmrPlugin`, which
  drive the bundler plugins the way a bundler does
- `evaluateModule`, the JSX-to-text module evaluator copied into 3 files

No test is added, removed or renamed.

Subject: [PATCH 0028/1425] test(start-plugin-core): share compiler regression
 test helpers

The regression suites each built their own `StartCompiler`, output compiler,
Start runtime stubs and `<Hydrate>` chunk loader. Move them into
`tests/regression-helpers.ts`:

- `createStartCompiler`, `compileFor`, `compileCode` and `compileAll` (client,
  SSR caller and provider outputs, validated), previously built in 10 files
- `importModule`, `callProvider`, `importSources` and `settle`, with one
  minimal Start runtime instead of four variants
- `compileHydrate`, `getChunkParams`, `getChunkIds`, `loadChunk`,
  `evaluateModule` and `renderChunk`, previously copied into 6 files

No test is added, removed or renamed.

Subject: [PATCH 0029/1425] test(react-start-rsc): share the RSC CSS transform
 compile helper

Both RSC CSS transform regression suites defined the same compile helper
and a copy of the module validator; move the helper into
`tests/regression-helpers.ts` and reuse start-plugin-core's validator.

Subject: [PATCH 0030/1425] test(router-plugin): merge duplicated compiler
 regression tests

Remove tests whose input shape and assertions another suite already covers,
folding any unique assertion into the surviving test:

- code-splitter-real-world: the two "split chunks share exported route-file
  bindings" compile checks duplicate code-splitter-exported-bindings (the
  built-app check stays); "file-level JSX pragmas" duplicates the
  @jsxImportSource cases of code-splitter-jsx-pragmas, which now also check
  that Oxc selects the pragma's JSX runtime for every split chunk.
- ported-react-compiler-fixtures: "a catch parameter shadowing a module
  binding" duplicates the plugin-rsc "next to a catch parameter of the same
  name" case, which now names both sources.
- ported-nextjs-ssg: "moves one declarator of a multi-declarator statement
  into the split chunk" duplicates the React Router "plain declarators" case,
  which now also asserts where each declarator is declared.

Subject: [PATCH 0031/1425] test(start-plugin-core): merge duplicated compiler
 regression tests

- The SolidStart "local types used by split children are not passed as
  props" Hydrate test duplicates the Qwik "local types used by the children
  are not captured as values" test; the Qwik test now also covers JSX type
  arguments and asserts that no type is passed as a prop.
- start-compiler-edge-cases "does not duplicate a directive the module
  already has" becomes a case of the plugin-rsc "provider module directives"
  table, which also checks the prologue and module validity.
- The single test of aliased-env-only-fns.test.ts moves to the
  "cross-module factory resolution" tests of start-compiler-edge-cases, where
  its output is also validated.

Subject: [PATCH 0033/1425] test(router-plugin): keep covering configs without
 the router plugin

Before the code-splitter transforms were shared, the real-world file-name
test resolved a Vite config that did not list the router plugin, which
covers the early return of the plugin-order check. Let the shared helper
take the config's plugins and keep that case.

Subject: [PATCH 0035/1425] test(start-plugin-core): regroup compiler
 regression tests by behaviour

Dissolve the ported-* and start-compiler edge-case files into behaviour
files (server fn caller dead code, declaration sites, exports and
directives, handler scope, Hydrate captures, factories, user code kept),
drop duplicate cases and vacuous assertions, and compile through a single
harness. The RSC external-transform scope cases move into compiler.test.ts,
replacing react-start-rsc's ported-vite-plugin-rsc.test.tsx.

Subject: [PATCH 0036/1425] test(router-generator): move transform edge cases
 into transform.test.ts

Merge the five parenthesized-call cases into one test next to the existing
outer-parens test and fold the remaining preservation cases into
transform.test.ts, reusing its makeNode helper.

Subject: [PATCH 0037/1425] test(react-start-rsc): move RSC CSS transform edge
 cases into rscCssTransform.test.tsx

Keep the cases with unique coverage (the @tanstack/react-start-rsc import
source, transparent JSX wrappers, non-JSX arguments) next to the existing
tests and drop the separate helper, which imported start-plugin-core tests.

- *
- * The React Refresh registration tests are ported from React Refresh's Babel
- * plugin tests (facebook/react
- * `packages/react-refresh/src/__tests__/ReactFreshBabelPlugin-test.js`, MIT).

Subject: [PATCH 0046/1425] test(start-plugin-core): close holes in the
 known-bug pins

- Match rejection errors on the message without its code frame
  (`compileErrorMessage`), which quotes the source and let any error
  satisfy `/Hydrate.*arguments/`, `/Hydrate.*Route/` or `/createServerFn/`;
  require wording specific to each rejection, with a control proving an
  unrelated error does not match.
- expectNoClientHandler: the client must not import the server-only module,
  neither the client nor the SSR caller may contain the handler body, and
  the provider must export and run every server fn the client reports.
- 'use client' provider pin: assert on the parsed directive prologue.
- Own-`this` pins: the server compile must succeed too.
- Recursive boundary ids: assert the boundary counts so a computed `h` id
  cannot make the check vacuous.
- `await` in split children: require the clear rejection.
- Split the `Route` row and the `opts` row into their own root causes.
- compileHydrate treats an untransformed module as its own parent, so the
  `<Start.Hydrate>` pin fails on its chunk count.
- Controls for callServerFns, expectNoClientHandler, evaluateRewritten and
  loadClientModule's stub merge and beforeChunksLoad.
- Fix or drop citations that do not hold upstream.

Subject: [PATCH 0047/1425] test(router-plugin): close holes in the known-bug
 pins

- evaluateModule links side-effect and namespace imports, so a fix that
  imports the shared module that way is not rejected by the harness.
- React Refresh pins accept a memo/forwardRef call of a registered binding.
- Module state: merge the exported-function rows and read the state
  directly; the registry row counts store initializations; name the
  `computeSharedBindings` mechanism.
- Unreferenced top-level statements: add an errorComponent chunk, require
  the effect to run with the route module, and group the `export *` pin
  under the same root cause.
- Controls for the options-in-a-variable harness and the memo assertion.
- Point the "known limitation" tests at their pins; fix the `hot` comment.

Subject: [PATCH 0049/1425] test(router-plugin): pin the React HMR rename of a
 lowercase component shared with the loader

With React HMR, a lowercase `function` component that the loader also
reads is renamed in its split chunk although the code splitter moved it
to the shared module, so the chunk exports an undeclared `SplitComponent`
and fails to load in development. An arrow-declared component, the same
harness's control, renders with the module state it shares.

Subject: [PATCH 0050/1425] test: pin more known compiler bugs from a
 differential hunt

New pins, each failing on main for its stated reason:
- Start compiler: builders returned by a function, env-only factories
  nested under a renamed import or local alias, a call whose result is
  member-called (`.bind()`), the classic JSX pragma factory import, and
  Vue `<script setup lang="ts">` blocks parsed as TSX.
- react-start-rsc: `renderServerComponent(...).then()` skipped by the CSS
  transform (same root cause as `.bind()`).
- Hydrate: a component with its own boundary inside another boundary and a
  children prop next to a comment-only body (rows of existing pins), and the
  classic JSX pragma factory import.
- Code splitter: an exported `let` the split component reassigns and a
  `declare const` used as the split component (rows of existing pins), the
  classic JSX pragma factory import, and apps in a directory with `#`.
- Route HMR: a route exported under another local name, and a getter
  component option.
- Router generator (new file): spread/computed/method route options missed
  in `createFileRouteProps`, and the route constructor recognized by name
  apart from its import (aliased and type-only imports).

`buildAndRun` takes a directory prefix for the `#` pin.

Subject: [PATCH 0056/1425] test(router-plugin): pin React Refresh renames
 missing hoisted inline components

React HMR holds hoisted inline component options aside until it has visited
every option, so renaming a lowercase component passed to a later option
leaves the hoisted component reading the old name.

Subject: [PATCH 0057/1425] test: pin more known compiler bugs from fuzzing,
 mutation testing and a corpus diff

New pins, each failing on main for its stated reason:
- Code splitter: an unused class with a static field and an unused enum
  with a member initializer copied into split chunks, and a binding read by
  a computed-key route option and the split component not shared (rows of
  existing pins); every route a module creates loads the split component of
  the last one.
- Hydrate: a module-level `var` declared in a nested block dropped from
  the chunk (same root cause as the code-splitter nested `var` pins, now
  cross-referenced), and an unexported component named `Route` removed
  from the chunk as if it were the route.
- Start compiler: chain methods called through a computed member
  (`createServerFn()['handler'](...)`, `['server']` of middleware and
  isomorphic fns) leave the module untransformed.

Subject: [PATCH 0058/1425] test: cover more compiler behaviour for code
 splitting, route HMR and server functions

Adds engine-agnostic tests found by mutation testing and by porting external
fixture suites while reviewing #8504. Each passes with the current compiler
and with the one in #8504.

- code splitting: const enums, abstract classes with parameter properties,
  `using` declarations, non-ASCII text, reference cycles of four
  declarations, #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ annotations in files with a pragma,
  side effects kept out of the shared module, the classic React import of a
  chunk, and shared bindings of loaders in object form or reaching Route
  through a later-declared helper
- route HMR and React Refresh: overloaded lowercase components,
  method-shorthand component options, split loaders not kept in HMR data
- server functions: handlers with type arguments, client references in
  caller modules, and the missing-handler error

Subject: [PATCH 0059/1425] test(router-plugin): drop the pin for several
 routes created in one module

Several `createFileRoute` calls in one route file were dropped from these
pins in an earlier consolidation; they are on the compiler-diagnostics
follow-up list, to be reported as an unsupported pattern rather than
pinned as a bug.

Subject: [PATCH 0067/1425] test(router-plugin): pin a created JSX factory, an
 unused reference cycle and exported-binding bugs

Found by mutation testing #8504 and by checking exported bindings used by
split options. Each pin fails on main and on #8504's head:
- a classic JSX factory the route module creates and the loader reads is
  dropped from the split chunk (created again in the chunk on #8504)
- an unused reference cycle is copied into every split chunk (a row of the
  unreferenced side effects table)
- the "will not be code-split" warning is missing when an exported
  component is the route's only split candidate
- an exported const only a split component renders stays in the entry
  chunk (with a control for the build placement harness)

Subject: [PATCH 0068/1425] test: pin type-only re-exports and comments dropped
 by the import-protection rewrite

Each pin fails on main and on #8504's head for the stated reason:
- a type-only import re-exported without `type` (`import type { Settings }`
  or `import { type Settings }`, then `export { Settings }`) loses its import
  but keeps the export, so the module fails to load with "Export 'Settings'
  is not defined": route module and split chunks (code splitter), client and
  SSR outputs (Start compiler)
- rewriting a denied import to the import-protection mock drops the comments
  that lead it (a JSX pragma, a legal comment)

Subject: [PATCH 0069/1425] test: cover handler-named method calls in a server
 fn and .ts angle-bracket assertions

- a server fn handler that calls other `.handler()` methods keeps them
  (TanStack/router#3698)
- `<T>value` assertions and `<T>(value: T) => value` arrows in `.ts` route
  files, server-fn modules, import-protection rewrites and generator
  transforms are parsed as TypeScript, not JSX (TanStack/router#7341)

 Vite does not detect

The route HMR code accepts through `const hot = import.meta.hot`, so Vite
never marks a route module self-accepting. Solid routes with automatic code
splitting and every Vue route reload the page on each edit.

Subject: [PATCH 0071/1425] test: pin a webpack hot update without React
 Refresh and a dev-server lookup deadlock

Route HMR keeps the previous component options for React Refresh to patch,
also when no React Refresh runtime is installed, so webpack apps without a
refresh plugin (like the webpack quickstart example) never show an edited
route component until a reload.

In a Vite dev server with an empty dependency cache, a client module with a
server fn and a top-level call of a pre-bundled dependency (a `z.object()`
schema) never finishes transforming: the compiler's module lookup waits for
the dependency optimizer, which waits for the transform. Hit by
`server.warmup`, a middleware-mode server's first request and direct
`transformRequest()` calls.

Subject: [PATCH 0073/1425] test(start-plugin-core): check compiler behaviour
 through public contracts in the shared helpers

- Evaluate test modules with a real ES module linker (module-linker.ts:
  in-memory graph served through node:module hooks) instead of regex
  import rewriting and `new Function`: every import/export form, live
  bindings, cycles and dynamic imports.
- callProvider finds a handler by its runtime `meta.name`; callServerFns
  imports the reported `extractedFilename` and calls the reported
  `functionName`, like the server-fn router.
- expectNoClientHandler checks each output on its own: one rejecting output
  no longer excuses another.
- Hydrate helpers: chunks found through the plugin's virtual-module pattern
  and ordered through their source maps, chunk components and their props
  found by evaluation, loadClientModule links the parent and its compiled
  chunks in one graph through `lazyRouteComponent`'s load, and boundary-id
  parity compares the ids the server and the client actually render.
- Harness controls for each changed helper.

Subject: [PATCH 0074/1425] test(router-plugin): load route modules like a
 bundler and runtime in the regression helpers

Behavioural tests no longer depend on the code splitter's module layout or
generated names through the helpers:

- compileRouteModules drives the real code-splitter plugin hooks (filters,
  configResolved, resolveId/load/transform) under an absolute module id and
  discovers the emitted modules by following the static and dynamic imports
  the output contains. Labels (reference / virtual <exports> / shared), ids
  and sharedBindings are derived from that graph for the tests that still
  inspect a module by role.
- module-runtime.ts links modules with Node's ES module linker through
  in-thread module hooks: every import/export form, live bindings, lazy
  dynamic imports, fresh instances per session, import.meta injection.
- loadRoute evaluates the route module first and a split option only when
  its lazy loader runs; options are read from the evaluated Route
  (load/isLazy), not from chunk export names. It replaces the local
  loadRouteModules/linkable copy in known-bugs-code-splitter and the manual
  linking in known-bugs-route-hmr and code-splitter-dead-code.
- getRouteOption, expectRegisteredRouteOption and
  expectRefreshableRouteOption evaluate the module with the React Refresh
  transform and check the registration of the value the route holds.
- The route HMR harness runs the hot API through import.meta and a real
  RouterCore with a real file route instead of a regex and a stub router.
- getModuleErrors also rejects references to names that are neither
  declared, imported, probed with typeof nor known globals (JSX compiled the
  way a bundler compiles it); expectValidModules allows the globals the
  route file itself reads.
- formatSnapshot fails on output that does not parse.

Adds regression-helpers.test.ts with controls for each of these.

Subject: [PATCH 0075/1425] test(router-plugin,start-plugin-core): add a
 real-build harness per bundler

Goal tests whose outcome the bundler decides (chunk placement, what
tree-shaking drops, what side-effect hints change) need a real build per
bundler. `build-harness.ts` writes an app to disk, builds it with Vite
(rolldown), Rspack, webpack or esbuild for the client or SSR, reports the
entry, eager and lazy chunks and where a marker lands, surfaces bundler
warnings/errors and console output, and runs the output in a child Node
process (jsdom globals for client builds). Side-effect hints are set per
fixture through the app's package.json.

`buildAndRun` becomes a thin wrapper over it (same Vite SSR build, now with
NODE_ENV=production during the build and run).

The Start counterpart builds client then SSR with the Start compiler's Vite
plugin and a stand-in `@tanstack/react-start` package.

Control tests cover placement and `run()` per bundler and env, build errors,
the package.json `sideEffects` hint, `@__PURE__`/`#__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__`,
and pin that the esbuild adapter never splits routes.

Subject: [PATCH 0076/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): share the module linker
 and build harness between the compiler suites

The router-plugin and start-plugin-core regression helpers each had their
own Node `registerHooks` ES module linker, and the Start build harness
imported the router-plugin harness by relative path, building its temporary
apps inside router-plugin/tests.

`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils` is a private workspace package (source
exports, no build) with:

- `module-linker`: one `createModuleGraph` linking in-memory modules as real
  ES modules. It keeps what both suites use: object and source stubs (JSON
  modules), lazy module discovery through `load` and path resolution or a
  custom `resolve`, `fallbackStub`/`lenient` for unresolved imports, custom
  `transform`, `runtime`, `scope` and `import.meta`, `evaluated` order,
  dynamic imports that resolve (or fail) when they run, `add`/`idOf`, and
  Node's native `import()` outside Vitest's module runner.
- `build-harness`: the plugin-agnostic real-build core (`createApp`,
  `bundleApp`, chunk placement, `run`). Callers pass the directory their
  temporary apps live in, so each package builds apps in its own tests
  directory and resolves its own dependencies.

The router plugin (`build`, `routeApp`) and Start (`buildStart`) wiring stay
in their packages. The linker and harness-core controls move to the new
package; two duplicates are dropped (fresh instances per graph, unknown
import).

Subject: [PATCH 0077/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin Start compiler,
 Hydrate and import-protection bugs

Pins (.fails, with passing controls) for: declarations dead-code
elimination keeps (class, enum, namespace, overload, redeclared var) with
their server-only imports, at compiler level and in a Vite client build;
a typeof type query keeping a server-only import (verbatimModuleSyntax);
comments around a server fn handler reaching the client; Hydrate boundary
ids shifted by environment-specific removals; a server fn module
initialised twice in one SSR process; a server fn only another server fn
calls missing from the production resolver (#7213); dev id recovery on a
fresh dev server (#8447); import protection failing on a tree-shaken
denied module (#8101).

buildStart accepts extra Start Vite plugins (import protection).

Subject: [PATCH 0078/1425] test(router-plugin): pin router compiler bugs found
 by the coverage review

Pins, each asserting the correct behaviour and marked .fails:
- code that reads a split binding (export lists/aliases, exported objects,
  functions, default exports) loses it (#8505, gap O7)
- class components cannot be split (#8505)
- overloaded functions shared with a split loader break the route (#8505)
- the user's bare `import './Page'` is dropped when `Page` is split (gap O2)
- a split loader's `this` is its chunk namespace (#8688)
- `'` in the app path breaks every split route (#7754)
- Start's `deleteNodes` keeps `ssr()`/`headers()` methods and options given
  through spreads, computed keys or calls, with their server imports
  (gap D11), plus a client-build canary on Vite, Rspack and webpack
- symlinked route files ship `server.handlers` to the client (#8514)
- Vite source maps of split chunks name the `?tsr-split`/`?tsr-shared` ids
  (gap CC-S2)
- webpack/Rspack production builds without NODE_ENV ship the "will not be
  code-split" warning and, with code splitting off, route HMR code
  (gaps CC-P1, CC-P2)

The build harness gains `nodeEnv` (unset NODE_ENV during a build),
`sourcemap` (`Chunk.map`) and `symlinks`; `loadRoute` returns the route
module's exports and `compileRouteModules` takes `deleteNodes`.

Subject: [PATCH 0079/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): add Vite and Rsbuild
 dev-server harnesses

The Vite harness starts a real dev server on a temporary app, replays file
events deterministically (creations, edits, renames, deletions and the files
plugins write meanwhile) and waits until the server has handled them, then
requests modules per environment and reports HMR payloads. The Rsbuild
harness waits for the rebuild an edit causes and reads the emitted output.

Wired into router-plugin (route generator in dev: scaffolding, renames,
moves, deletions, first load of a new route) and start-plugin-core
(Rsbuild dev rebuilds every importer of an edited server fn factory).

Subject: [PATCH 0080/1425] test(router-plugin,start-plugin-core): pin
 dev-server bugs found by the dev/HMR review

- client modules two imports away from an edited server fn factory keep
  stale compiled output (DV26)
- import protection reads ModuleInfo.code in dev and fails the client
  transform (#8554, DV38)
- importers keep an import protection mock after the server-only marker is
  removed (DV37)
- split/shared modules requested before the route module after an edit use
  the previous shared bindings (DV8)
- a tsr.config.json edit re-creates the generator without running it (DV3)

Subject: [PATCH 0081/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): share the module
 validator, take a cleanup registrar, add evaluateServed

- Move router-plugin's module validator (the stronger one: it also rejects
  references to undeclared names) to `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/validate-module`
  and use it from router-plugin and start-plugin-core instead of two copies.
  Its controls move with it.
- The harnesses no longer call `onTestFinished` from their own Vitest copy:
  `createApp`, `bundleApp`, `createDevServer` and `createRsbuildDevServer` take
  a `registerCleanup` option, which the package wrappers set to their
  `onTestFinished`.
- `evaluateServed(server, url)` links what a Vite dev server serves for a
  module and its static imports as real ES modules and evaluates it.

Subject: [PATCH 0082/1425] test(start-plugin-core): evaluate providers in the
 SSR bundle graph, complete the runtime stub, add framework and preload
 helpers

- `callProvider` / `callReportedServerFns` take the SSR bundle's modules
  (`ServerOutputs`: SSR caller + provider, e.g. a `compileAll` or the new
  `compileServer` result) and link them into one module graph
  (`createServerGraph`), the SSR caller under `/test/src/module.tsx`, so a
  provider may import shared state or helpers from the SSR caller instead of
  copying them. `evaluateProvider` returns the provider of that graph. The
  provider-calling tests now pass their compiled outputs instead of the
  provider alone (no assertion changes).
- The Start runtime stub records `createServerFn(options)`, `.middleware()`
  and `.validator()`, makes builders callable (server fn factories), and
  records `createMiddleware().client()` / `.validator()` / `.middleware()`;
  `.server()` still throws uncompiled.
- `expectOutputsFreeOfHandler`, `misplacedServerFnRejection` and
  `OutputResult` move from the known-bugs suite to regression-helpers.ts.
- `createStartCompiler`, `compileFor`/`compileAll`/`compileServer`,
  `evaluateModule`, `compileHydrate`, `loadClientModule` and
  `renderBoundaries` take a `framework` option (react | solid | vue, default
  react); the runtime and Hydrate stubs follow it. `evaluateModule` takes its
  JSX runtime as `{ runtime }`.
- `compileFor` (and `createStartCompiler().transform`) return the source map.
- `loadClientModule`'s lazy components get `preload()`, which records the
  chunk it loaded (`preloaded`), and it returns the parent's `chunkIds`.
- New `importProtection/mock-helpers.ts`: `evaluateWithMock`, `selfMock` and
  `isMock` evaluate import-protection mocks through the module linker.

Each helper change has control tests in regression-helpers.test.ts or
mock-helpers.test.ts.

 compileWithRscCssTransform compile for the client and collect warnings

`compileWithRscCssTransform` takes `env` (default `server`, the rsc
environment), `warn` (passed to the compiler) and extra
`compilerTransforms`, with control tests.

Subject: [PATCH 0084/1425] test(router-plugin): share hotUpdate, take
 framework and plugin options, derive dev-server module URLs

- `compileRouteModules` / `loadRoute` take `targetFramework: 'vue'` (Vue
  router package stubbed too), plugin options (`pluginOptions`, e.g.
  `codeSplittingOptions.defaultBehavior` / `splitBehavior`, `plugin.hmr.style`)
  and the `routeId` the file is registered under.
- `hotUpdate` moves from known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts to regression-helpers.ts,
  with options for code splitting (modules linked like `loadRoute`), the
  target framework, the route id (`/__root` mounts a root route), the edited
  code, initial hot data and a React Refresh runtime. It returns the live
  options before and after the update, the created route options,
  `invalidated`, React Refresh registrations/refreshes and lazy loading. Hot
  contexts are per module. Routes are router-core routes for every
  framework. The route update pins keep their assertion through a local
  `updatesOption` wrapper and still fail for the reasons they document.
- handle-route-update.test.ts calls the emitted `handleRouteUpdate` only
  through `runHandleRouteUpdate`.
- The out-of-order dev-server pin and its control derive the module URLs
  from the imports of the served route module, transitively (the shared
  module is imported by the chunks, not by the route module), instead of
  hard-coding `?tsr-shared=1` / `?tsr-split=...`.
- `routerDevServer` takes extra Vite plugins, and its default root route
  follows the `target` plugin option.
- `importRequests` (static and dynamic imports of a module) is exported.

Control tests in regression-helpers.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 0085/1425] test(router-generator): move routeIdOf into a
 shared test helper

`routeIdOf` (evaluates a route file and returns the id its Route is created
with) moves from known-bugs.test.ts to tests/route-id.ts and accepts the
React, Solid and Vue router packages, with control tests.

Subject: [PATCH 0087/1425] test(router-plugin): assert code-splitting outcomes
 instead of shared-binding placement

Rewrite the splitter tests that pinned which bindings land in the shared
module, the printed form, or internal ids, as evaluations of the emitted
modules (values, init counts, identity), loosen the runtime contract on
initialiser timing and the exported-component report (any wording, file
named once), and add behaviour tests that replace the snapshot fixtures and
helper units: falsy option values, option value shapes, Route-reading
helpers, a module-state matrix across kinds/groupings/readers, groupings
precedence, root routes, Solid helpers, untouched non-route modules,
directive prologues, import attributes, real-app file names.

New pins found on the way: a class with a side-effectful static initializer
read by one split option is created twice; a chunk that imports shared
bindings loses the file's leading JSX pragma under Oxc.

Subject: [PATCH 0088/1425] test(router-plugin): pin code-splitting goals at
 the level that decides them

Fix pins: the exported-only-candidate pin accepts any warning naming the file
and the binding (rows for default exports, export lists, exported
destructurings); the property-assignment row no longer asserts placement; the
exported-const placement pin moves into a client build per bundler and
side-effect hint, next to the other page code exported from route files.

New goal pins: chunks hold only what their option needs (D5, compiler and
build level), root route error/not-found components split (D12), method
shorthand components split, options destructured from a call split or
reported (D11), object-form loaders with method or spread handlers, generated
names never shadow user bindings, groupings from a constant honoured, code
route groupings not leaking into the file route, one cache next to a
Route-reading destructuring, one identity for an exported Route-reading
helper, array-destructured components that crash the compiler, state shared
with method options.

Also: Solid and root-route rows for removed server-only options, server-only
options kept without deleteNodes, and split error/not-found/pending
components rendered by a real router in Vite client and SSR builds.

Subject: [PATCH 0091/1425] test(router-plugin): delete the code-splitter
 snapshot and invariant suite

Every fixture and test it held is covered by a behaviour test or a goal pin:
- snapshot fixtures: falsy option values, option value shapes (memo,
  React.memo, lowercase functions, conditionals, destructuring with defaults),
  Solid lazy helpers, untouched non-route modules, directive prologues,
  import attributes, self-referencing components, non-ASCII text, Route-reading
  helpers, transitive and shared state (code-splitter-route-options,
  -plugin-pipeline, -imports-exports, -scope, -module-state tests); exported
  components and page code (exported-bindings pins, page code in client
  builds); unused copies in chunks (what split chunks hold); imported
  error/not-found/pending components (code-splitter-router.test.ts);
- lowercase split components with HMR: known-bugs-route-hmr control rows;
- computeSharedBindings invariants and the small-scope matrix: the
  module-level bindings matrix (values, init counts, identity, absences) and
  the Route-reading helper tests; loader objects: object-form loader pins;
  root routes: the root route test and its build-level goal pin;
- fast paths and graph helper units: internal, their outcomes covered by the
  dead-code and module-state tests.

shared-runtime.tsx moves next to the runtime contract test that reads it.

Subject: [PATCH 0092/1425] test(router-plugin): delete the deleteNodes
 snapshots and the splitter helper unit tests

- delete-nodes snapshots: server-only options removed with their imports on
  file routes (React, Solid) and root routes (createRootRoute,
  createRootRouteWithContext), and kept without deleteNodes, are asserted in
  known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts (server-only route options on the client).
- shared-bindings-helpers: internal Babel helpers and computeSharedBindings
  results; the outcomes (init once, one identity, absences, Route-reading
  helpers) are in the module-level bindings matrix and the route-options
  tests.
- detect-route-codesplit-groupings: route-level groupings and precedence,
  refused non-nested and variable groupings are in
  code-splitter-route-options.test.ts (code-split groupings); code-route
  groupings and constants are goal pins; the verbose:false form is no longer
  generated.

Subject: [PATCH 0093/1425] test(router-plugin): delete splitter tests of
 internal ids, helpers and duplicates

- plugin pipeline: deleteNodes plumbing is covered by the server-only option
  tests (known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts); split/shared module ids without a
  split value or shared bindings are an internal protocol no user path
  reaches.
- utils: getUniqueProgramIdentifier is replaced by the generated-names tests
  (a route file binding or global keeps its value), routeFactoryCallCodeFilter
  by the route factory tests (whitespace before the call, type arguments: a
  root route hot-updates for every spelling), getObjectPropertyKeyName by the
  string, spread and computed option key tests.
- known bugs: the evaluateModule linking control is covered by
  compiler-test-utils' module-linker tests; the ambient declare const used as
  the split component duplicated the environment-component pin.

 # Router bundler plugin
 
-- Preserve one initialization of shared module state across reference and split chunks. Shared extraction includes transitive dependencies and whole destructured declarations; never extract `Route` or bindings that depend on it. The invariant suite in `tests/code-splitter.test.ts` covers these contracts.
+- Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object. Which bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
+- Every option configured for splitting must end up split. When a pattern the user can change prevents it, the option keeps working in the entry and the build warns once, naming the file and the option. When the limitation is ours, it is a bug to fix, not a warning.
 - `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules. Keep runtime dependencies inside the function or explicitly emit them; extracting a helper to plugin module scope breaks the generated function. `tests/handle-route-update.test.ts` executes that emitted code.
-- Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving Fast Refresh component identities. Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
-- For code-splitting changes, add inputs under `tests/code-splitter/test-files/<framework>/`. Regenerate and review reference, virtual, and shared snapshots for every grouping in [`tests/code-splitter.test.ts`](tests/code-splitter.test.ts).
-- Check [`tests/constants.ts`](tests/constants.ts) for framework coverage: the snapshot matrix currently covers React and Solid only. Validate affected Vue behavior in Vue router e2e apps.
+- Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
+- Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: compile the route and load the emitted modules with `loadRoute` from `tests/regression-helpers.ts` (built on the module linker from `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils`), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.
+- Run behavioural tests for React, Solid and Vue through the `targetFramework` option of the test helpers.

Subject: [PATCH 0095/1425] test(router-plugin): port the #8504-only splitter
 tests as outcome tests and pins

Port the splitter tests that only exist on #8504, rewritten to assert
outcomes (loadRoute, compileRouteModules, real builds). Rows that pass on
main become regular tests; rows that fail on main are pinned in
known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts (or as .fails next to their controls)
after checking the failure is a main bug. Also pin the D11 goal that the
handler of an object-form loader ends up split, and check that an import
assertion compiles to an import attribute.

The regression helpers now accept JSON source stubs, give plugin hooks a
warn-capable context, and expose a route HMR transform per plugin
instance.

Subject: [PATCH 0097/1425] test(router-plugin): restore splitter coverage lost
 with the snapshot suite

Outcome tests for shapes the deleted snapshot fixtures covered: exported
destructurings read by split options, options given by reference to
imports and local functions, the documented default groupings, a
top-level Route.addChildren call, a 'use server' directive in a moved
function, Solid and Vue routes (split loader included, lazy helpers from
their own router package), and a combined loader/component grouping in
the module-state matrix. Also assert that the non-ASCII route is split and
update comments that named deleted fixtures.

Subject: [PATCH 0098/1425] test(router-plugin): extend the route HMR harness

- `hotUpdate` returns the `window` the modules ran with, and with webpack
  configures the plugins through their `webpack(compiler)` hook with a
  compiler that has the React Refresh plugin or none (`webpackCompiler`), so
  a fix that detects React Refresh from the bundler configuration is seen.
- `createRouteLoader` compiles successive versions of a route file with one
  code-splitter plugin instance, as a dev server does; `loadRoute` and
  `compileRouteModules` take the Vite `command`.
- `isRefreshable` (registered, or a memo/forwardRef of a registered
  component) and `evaluateRouteModule` (exports, Route, registrations) are
  exported.
- dev-server.ts: `routerPackageStub(target)` serves a router package whose
  lazy options can be loaded, `importRouteModule` serves and imports a route
  module, plus the route-module-export assertions shared by the dev-server
  tests.
- `@vitejs/plugin-react` becomes a devDependency (catalog) for the
  plugin-react HMR boundary control; lockfile regenerated with
  `pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile`.

Subject: [PATCH 0099/1425] test(router-plugin): route HMR outcome tests,
 rewritten HMR tests, fixed pins and #8504 ports

New (route-hmr.test.ts), replacing what the add-hmr snapshots proved:
- a hot update of a split route keeps every split component (arrow,
  function declaration, two components, quoted keys, a split loader in its
  own chunk) and applies the new loader, with Vite and webpack;
- Solid and Vue: the new options apply with the framework's router package,
  no React code; D10 goal pins (.fails): the split component keeps its
  identity, as with React;
- a root route (`/__root`) is updated in place, keeping its component;
- an update follows the route the file is registered under, not stale hot
  data;
- route modules evaluate without `hot.data` or `import.meta.hot` (#7074);
- quoted split keys, a non-route module left as is, an explicitly undefined
  component, and no HMR code / untouched `window` without HMR.

Rewrites and loosening:
- handle-route-update: the hot `Route` sees the live route's parent and
  options; lazy options load through `router.loadRouteChunk` from the fresh
  importer, an update without one keeps it.
- react-refresh-route-components: hoisting tests evaluate what the component
  renders instead of checking generated names and placement; the
  method-shorthand test is loosened (it keeps working); new root rows
  (lowercase function components, `createRootRouteWithContext<Ctx>()`).
- router-plugin-context: chunk ownership after edits is checked by
  evaluation with one plugin instance; production / `addHmr: false` by
  evaluation and the absence of a bundler HMR API; the duplicated
  transform by module validity; option normalisation by the module
  accepting its updates and registering its component.

Pins:
- webpack without React Refresh: the harness now also configures the plugin
  with a webpack compiler without a refresh plugin, the oracle renders the
  live component (new code or `invalidate()`), with a code-splitting row.
- Solid/Vue route modules are HMR boundaries: rewritten on `routerDevServer`
  (an edit is a client `update`, not a `full-reload`), with a
  `@vitejs/plugin-react` control for React.
- production builds: a Vite row and automatic-code-splitting rows per
  bundler (esbuild holds trivially, the esbuild plugin splits nothing).
- goal: a method-shorthand component of a split route is refreshable.

#8504-only ports: inline components wrapped in `as` / `satisfies` / `!`
(red on main, pinned), split `memo`/`forwardRef` components (B, JSX-free
bodies; the JSX form is the splitter's pin), a lowercase component shared
with the unsplit pendingComponent and a component exported by an export
list (red on main, pinned with the root causes they share), the module's
Route hoisted when another route comes first, and route module exports on a
dev server (class, alias and overload-alias cases red with automatic code
splitting, pinned in known-bugs-dev-server).

Subject: [PATCH 0100/1425] test(router-plugin): port the #8504 router-utils
 tests at compiler level, add the #6480 splitter case

- the directive prologue stays first and whole, and a later string
  statement stays out of it, with and without HMR (#8504 router-utils
  prepend-statements);
- a syntax error in a route file is reported at its line and column for
  every line terminator and Unicode source (#8504 router-utils
  diagnostics; bundlers name the file);
- `.jsx` and `.mjs` route files read `a < b > (c)` as JavaScript (#8504
  router-utils source-language);
- an import that only an exported type and a split component read leaves the
  route module (#6480; replaces router-utils stripTypeExports "#6480
  scenario").

Subject: [PATCH 0101/1425] test(router-generator): assert route file rewrites
 by evaluation, port the #8504 transform tests, pin wrapper and type-only
 Route bugs

- `evaluateRouteFile` (route-id.ts) evaluates a route file with other router
  exports; `routeIdOf` uses it.
- Rewrites: the added constructor import keeps the file's line endings, the
  other bindings and the rest of the file, and the route evaluates with its
  new id (no exact import merge); multiple Route exports only assert the
  error result; a prepended import binds `createFileRoute` once.
- Loosened: option keys are recorded for identifier and string keys
  (`arrayContaining`); computed / spread keys are best effort.
- Ports from #8504: options wrapped in `satisfies` / `as` (B), a redeclared
  `var Route` with two route calls is an error (B).
- Pins: a moved route whose constructor or id is wrapped in a TypeScript
  cast keeps its old id or fails to generate; a type-only `Route` export is
  taken for a route instead of being left out with a warning (gap G8).

Subject: [PATCH 0102/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin route option keys
 through Start's route tree and prerender consumers, add the #6480 case

- known-bugs-route-options.test.ts runs the route generator with Start's
  prerender plugin and `pruneServerOnlySubtrees`: controls for a route with
  server handlers and a component (kept, prerendered) and one with only
  server handlers (pruned); pins for a spread, a computed key, a method, an
  async method and an accessor (pruned from the client tree) and for pages
  whose component comes from a spread, computed key or method (not
  prerendered). Replaces router-generator known-bugs "route options", which
  copied Start's rule onto the generator's key set (gap G11; #8504 method
  and accessor rows).
- #6480: an exported type reading a schema built from an imported enum
  keeps the enum's module out of the client output of a server-fn file.

Subject: [PATCH 0103/1425] test(router-plugin): delete the add-hmr snapshot
 suite

Every point of the suite has an outcome test (route-hmr.test.ts unless
noted):
- `@true` fixtures arrow-function, function-declaration, multi-component,
  string-literal-keys and the `@webpack-hot` snapshot: "a hot update of a
  split route > vite|webpack > keeps the split components and applies the
  new options" (+ "split options under quoted keys like the others");
- solid/arrow-function: "solid|vue: applies the new options with the router
  package of the framework" (identity: the D10 pins next to it);
- createRootRoute: "a hot update of a root route > vite|webpack: reaches the
  root route, keeps its component and applies the new loader";
- createRootRoute-inline-component: react-refresh-route-components "for
  every inline component option of a root route, under distinct names";
- createRootRoute-lowercase-components: react-refresh-route-components "for
  every lowercase function component of a root route, under distinct names";
- createFileRoute-lowercase-components: known-bugs-route-hmr "registers
  lowercase function components, split and unsplit, with the default
  groupings";
- createRootRouteWithContext-type-args: react-refresh-route-components "of a
  root route created with context type arguments";
- destructuring: "leave a module that creates no route as it is";
- explicit-undefined-component: "keep an explicitly undefined component
  undefined";
- the `@false` snapshots: "route modules compiled without HMR > have no HMR
  code and leave window untouched";
- webpackHot / Vite unsplittable AST checks: known-bugs-route-hmr
  "vite|webpack: a hot update gives the live route the new options" (and
  the Solid/Vue boundary pin);
- lazy reset / `_refreshRoute` strings: handle-route-update "uses a fresh
  source lazy importer without erasing an omitted one", "removes stale
  loader data ...", "... rematerializes ...";
- generated route id fallback: known-bugs-route-hmr "a hot update gives the
  live route the new options" (the new module's `Route.id` is never set);
- "prefers the current generated route id over stale Vite hot data": "is
  the route the file is registered under now, not the one in stale hot
  data";
- "normalizes the generated root route id": the root route update above
  (`routeId: '/__root'`).

Subject: [PATCH 0104/1425] test(router-plugin): delete the snapshot formatter,
 its controls and the framework list

`tests/format-snapshot.ts` (and its two controls in
regression-helpers.test.ts) and `tests/constants.ts` were only used by the
add-hmr snapshot suite, deleted in the previous commit; no test compares
output with a snapshot anymore.

Subject: [PATCH 0105/1425] test(router-plugin): delete HMR tests of internal
 steps and plugin names

- handle-route-update "clears lazy ownership and delegates rematerialization
  to the router" (internal `_lazy` / `_refreshRoute`): covered by "uses a
  fresh source lazy importer without erasing an omitted one" (the lazy
  options load from the fresh importer after each update) and, for the
  refresh, "removes stale loader data when a hot route removes its loader",
  "observes hot parser and route-context changes on the active route" and
  "rematerializes descendants when a parent route definition changes".
- react-refresh-route-components "does not keep a split loader in the HMR
  data" (hot-data key strings): replaced by route-hmr.test.ts "a hot update
  of a split route > vite|webpack > keeps the split components and applies
  the new options (a split loader in its own chunk)", where the live loader
  returns the new module's data.
- router-plugin-context "does not install the standalone route HMR plugin in
  production" (by plugin name): replaced by known-bugs-route-hmr "a
  production client bundle has no route HMR code (vite)".

Subject: [PATCH 0106/1425] test(router-generator): delete the route option key
 tests moved to Start

The control "the route node of ... is server-only" and the pin "a route with
server handlers and a spread / computed key / method is not server-only"
copied Start's server-only rule onto the generator's option keys, so a fix
reporting unknown keys another way would still fail them. Replaced by
start-plugin-core known-bugs-route-options.test.ts, which runs the generator
with Start's prerender plugin and `pruneServerOnlySubtrees`: "a route with
{ server: { handlers: {} }, component: Page } / { server: { handlers: {} } }
is in the client route tree and prerendered: ..." (controls) and "a route
with server handlers and a spread / a computed key / a method / an async
method / an accessor is in the client route tree" (pins), plus the
prerender pins.

Subject: [PATCH 0107/1425] test(router-utils): delete the Babel helper unit
 tests

The package's tests exercised internal Babel helpers and parse checks that
compiler-level tests cover (memo hmr-generator, section 2):
- compiler-helpers.test.ts `collectIdentifiersFromNode` / shadowing:
  router-plugin code-splitter-scope.test.ts (free identifiers and catch /
  var / parameter / import shadowing rows) and start-plugin-core
  hydrate-captures.test.ts; `collectLocalBindingsFromStatement` /
  `buildDeclarationMap` (named default function / class):
  code-splitter-runtime.test.ts "preserves executable route contracts with
  shared named-default declarations" and start-plugin-core
  createServerFn/handler-scope.test.ts; `extractModuleInfoFromAst`
  snapshot: start-plugin-core start-compiler-factories.test.ts (builders
  across modules, renamed re-exports, `export *`).
- stripTypeExports.test.ts: `with` attributes: start-plugin-core
  exports-and-directives "import attributes are kept on the imports and
  re-exports each output keeps"; deprecated `assert` attributes (D9):
  router-plugin code-splitter-imports-exports "compiles an import assertion
  of a route file into an import attribute"; `.ts` angle-bracket casts:
  router-generator transform "parses a .ts route file with angle-bracket
  type assertions", router-plugin code-splitter-scope "keeps angle-bracket
  type assertions in every module", start-plugin-core importProtection
  rewrite "rewrites a .ts module with angle-bracket type assertions"; type
  alias / interface removal (no behaviour after type erasure); type-only
  imports, exports and mixed specifiers: router-plugin
  code-splitter-imports-exports "erases type-only imports and exports from
  the split modules", start-plugin-core exports-and-directives
  "TypeScript-only exports and an enum next to a server fn" and the
  type-only re-export pins of both packages; the #6480 scenario:
  code-splitter-imports-exports "drops an import that only an exported type
  and a split component read from the route module" and exports-and-directives
  "an exported type reading a schema the handler uses keeps its imports out
  of the client".

`test:unit` passes with no test files so that tests added later run.

Subject: [PATCH 0108/1425] test(router-plugin): type the route module export
 cases of the dev-server tests

`test:types` rejected the inferred union of the case tables passed to
`expectExportedRouteOptions`; `ExportedRouteOptionsCase` types them.
`loadRouteOption` returns its promise without `async`.

Subject: [PATCH 0109/1425] test(start-plugin-core): evaluate compiler.test.ts
 outputs, port the #8504 external transform tests, pin three main bugs

Rewrites (memo start-compiler, compiler.test.ts table):
- multiple kinds in one compiler: each output evaluated (RPC, iso branch,
  serverOnlyError, middleware .server() gone)
- external transforms (:462, :482, :518): compiled through the shared
  harness with host-like kind detection, the injected argument checked by
  evaluating the call
- provider directives (:638, :650): directivePrologue
- ingestModule on empty code (:727): a module importing an empty module
- re-exported / aliased createServerOnlyFn (:848, :886), re-export chain
  table (:1004): client and server outputs evaluated
- invalidateModule (:1176) and the aliased provider recompile (:1307):
  production lookup configuration, evaluated before and after the edit
- transform phase order (:1459): idle transform may run with no candidates

New: N8 (a g-flag detect transform runs for two modules in a row).
Section-4 ports (#8504): direct calls only (.bind/.call/parameter rows),
unrelated virtual runtime imports (loosened: a throwing host loadModule does
not fail the compile), configured aliases next to an unrelated call.

Pinned main bugs (red ports, known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts):
- a computed namespace call named by a local variable is transformed
- distinct re-export aliases of two factories conflated (server-only code
  runs on the client)
- kb text-detection row: a renamed createServerOnlyFn re-export is never
  compiled

Helpers: createStartCompiler accepts compilerTransforms and host overrides;
renderThingTransform and settleAsync.

Subject: [PATCH 0110/1425] test(start-plugin-core): loosen and extend the
 factory tests, port the #8504 factory tests, pin their main bugs

- missing implementation (fac:225, LOOSEN): SSR and provider reject it; the
  client may reject it too or compile to a module that never runs it
- dev invalidation (fac:464, REWRITE): no longer pins the internal
  invalidateModules return list
- N9: a server fn factory const-aliased in another module (replaces
  createServerFn.test.ts "slow path for factory pattern")
- #8504 port (B): vars nested in top-level and function blocks (extends
  fac:177, now evaluated), middleware chains with a wrapped link (3 x 8)

Pinned main bugs (red #8504 ports):
- a validator link wrapped in satisfies / as stays in the client
- an isomorphic chain link wrapped in satisfies / as loses its
  implementation
- a factory callee wrapped in `as any` / `!` is left uncompiled (server
  implementation ships to the client)
- env-specific fns inside a server fn handler are not compiled in the
  provider (client-only fn runs on the server, client module imported)
- parameters and locals shadowing every factory, all outputs (kb, next to
  the kb:620 parameter pins)

Subject: [PATCH 0111/1425] test(start-plugin-core): evaluate the user-code
 preservation tests, port the #8504 pragma and user-code tests, pin their main
 bugs

Rewrites (memo: puc:14, puc:50): side effects checked by evaluating the
client/provider with recording stubs (each initializer runs once on import),
instead of text and declarationOf checks; adds the three #8504 puc:18 rows.

Ports (pass on main): leading legal comment kept (client, Hydrate chunk),
__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ annotation (loosened: it leads makeLabel in every output
that declares it), JSX attribute source map column (client, SSR), the
pragma comment of a Hydrate parent in both import orders.

Pinned main bugs (red #8504 ports):
- server fn runtime imports inserted above a leading @jsxImportSource pragma
  (client, SSR, provider) and Hydrate chunk loaders above it (Vite 8 picks
  the default JSX runtime)
- empty destructuring initializers dropped (client, provider)
- asserted update operands printed without parentheses (parse error)

Subject: [PATCH 0112/1425] test(start-plugin-core): loosen the server fn
 placement tests, add the placement goal pins (N13, D13) and fix the placement
 pins

Shared table createServerFn/placements.ts: 16 placements (the 10 of the
review plus the #8504 ds:34 extra placements: return value, call argument,
JSX attribute, conditional initializer, object/array destructuring, nested
in another handler) and the capturing placement.

declaration-sites.test.ts:
- ds:30 REWRITE: no-crash guard (valid module or clear rejection), checks
  the top-level server fn through callProvider instead of the generated
  handler name; the top-level switch row moved to the placement pins
- ds:94 LOOSEN: next to another factory, every non-declarator placement
  never ships the handler (expectNoClientHandler; rejection or extraction)
- ds:115: the validator row is its own test (user error, exact message)
- N13 + D13 goal pins (.fails, both import heads): a server fn in each
  placement the callers can reach is supported: client and SSR RPCs share
  the id the provider handler carries, and the handler runs
- ports: optional call chain (red on main: pinned), .ts module in a #
  directory

known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts (kb:538 FIX PIN): describe.each over both
import heads (kb:602 folded in: declarator placements next to another
factory), the placement rows of the shared table, and the D13 rejection pin
(a nested handler reading a local of its function must be rejected in every
output).

Helpers: expectNoClientHandler moved to regression-helpers.ts;
callServerFnThroughCallers (with self-tests); compileErrorMessage self-test
ported from #8504 ds:168.

Subject: [PATCH 0113/1425] test(start-plugin-core): evaluate the callers of
 the handler-scope table, add N10, rewrite the dead-code cycle test, port the
 #8504 dead-code tests

handler-scope.test.ts:
- hs:41: callers evaluate to an RPC (#8504 shared assertion); new row N10
  "an imported function" (replaces createServerFn.test.ts "should remove
  imports used only as caller handler identifiers")
- hs:384 renamed: exported helpers are callable from the handler (the
  provider may import them from the SSR caller)
- pin (#8504 hs:124, #8446): a createIsomorphicFn chain as the handler
  never becomes an RPC

caller-dead-code.test.ts:
- cdc:498 REWRITE: the provider runs the handler-only cycles
  (callProvider returns [0, 0, 'id']) instead of declarationOf checks;
  keeping unused code is no longer required
- #8504 ports pinned (red on main): enum member / overload parameter /
  parameter property named like the import keep the server import; a
  validator link wrapped in satisfies / as stays in the callers; a
  handler-only function declaring a local of its own name keeps its server
  import

Subject: [PATCH 0114/1425] test(start-plugin-core): find server fns by their
 metadata in the export and id tests, loosen the side-effect test, add N12

Server fns are found by runtime metadata (meta.name / meta.id) and reported
ids, never by generated export names:
- ead:27: callers' exports evaluate to RPCs carrying the id of the provider
  handler whose meta.name is the local; one handler export per reported
  server fn; callReportedServerFns runs a..f
- ead:190: redeclared var server fns get distinct ids (passing) and each
  run their own handler (red on main: both run the last handler; pinned)
- ead:291: dev provider runs the handler (HMR strings dropped; dev HMR is
  covered by N16, its absence in builds by N12)
- N12: build providers have no import.meta.hot / webpackHot code
- ead:314: id sets compared (old ids still reported, 3 in total)
- ead:346 / ead:363: handlers looked up by meta.name; 6 server fns reported

ead:180 LOOSEN: callers keep the side-effect import and statement (both run
on evaluation); the provider, linked with the SSR caller, runs the handler
and the polyfill was loaded. Whether the provider repeats the top-level
code is left to the SF17 goal pin (kb "initialised once").

Subject: [PATCH 0115/1425] test(start-plugin-core): rewrite the createServerFn
 unit tests behaviourally, add the client-access round trip (N14) and the D6
 pins

createServerFn.test.ts:
- cfn:129: diagnostic location matched frame-agnostically (line 2 and the
  quoted source on one line)
- cfn:266: the client keeps a handler identifier it still reads (evaluated
  `ref`), the provider runs the handler
- cfn:539: query-bearing virtual module ids resolve the factory (client has
  no handler body, one server fn reported); loadedIds no longer pinned
- cfn:711: a constant generateFunctionId (ignores functionName) still gives
  distinct ids, the same ones in a second compiler instance, and client RPC,
  SSR RPC and provider meta.id agree
- cfn:879 -> N14: compile, generate the production resolver from what the
  callers reported (client-referenced check on), link it to the provider:
  a client-compiled server fn is callable from the client. The former
  server-environment row asserted that every server-env caller reports its
  server fns as client-referenced, the D6 bug; it becomes the RSC-provider
  goal pin below.

D6 (user ruling: only server fns client code references are HTTP-callable):
- build pin (kb, Vite build, SSR provider): a server fn only server code
  references resolves with origin 'client' (red: "server-only fn" instead of
  rejected); control: the client fn is HTTP-callable and the server-only fn
  callable from SSR code
- RSC-provider pin (createServerFn.test.ts): a server fn only a server
  environment compiles passes the resolver's client-origin check

Harness: buildStart takes per-build entries; the stand-in createSsrRpc
exposes functionId; createServerGraph().add().

Subject: [PATCH 0116/1425] test(start-plugin-core): add behavioural
 replacements of the middleware, isomorphic fn and ClientOnly snapshot
 fixtures (N2, N3, N4)

- N3 (createMiddleware.test.ts): the client keeps .client() (recorded by
  the runtime stub) and drops .server() / .validator() and what only they
  read: function middleware, the four .server() argument forms, validator
  module (MW2), middleware built in functions, createStart().createMiddleware
  (MW5); mw:116 rewritten to evaluate the recorded .client()
- N2 (createIsomorphicFn.test.ts): one implementation / both orders /
  function references / noImpl, factories, created and called inside
  functions; client and SSR evaluated, the other environment's referenced
  function absent
- N4 (clientOnlyJSX.test.ts): SSR renders the fallback and drops the
  modules only the children import, the client renders the children;
  ClientOnly of another package and another router component imported as
  ClientOnly keep their children

Runtime stub: a server runtime (createServerGraph, evaluateModule
`env: 'server'`) records middleware .server(); createStart(...).
createMiddleware is stubbed.

Subject: [PATCH 0117/1425] test(start-plugin-core): add the import-forms table
 (N1) and behavioural replacements of the factory, route-file and formatting
 cases (N5, N6, N7)

- N1 (start-compiler-import-forms.test.ts): createServerFn,
  createMiddleware, createIsomorphicFn, createServerOnlyFn,
  createClientOnlyFn through a renamed import, a namespace member and an
  `as`-wrapped call result, and <ClientOnly> through a renamed import and a
  namespace member, for React, Solid and Vue: the client keeps no server
  import and each output follows its runtime contract (RPC + provider,
  branch, throwing stub, fallback). Pinned (red on main): <Router.ClientOnly>
  through a namespace import is never compiled (SSR runs the children).
- N5: a callable builder chain with middleware (factory fixture): client
  RPCs keep their middleware chain, the provider runs both handlers, a
  look-alike `.handler` is untouched
- N6: a route file (isomorphic-fns fixture): the provider runs both server
  fns (validator chain included) without React, each output's loader runs
  its isomorphic branch
- N7: `.handler(` spacing/newline/tab/comment variants, with the builder in
  the module and in another module (#7280 class). Pinned (red on main): a
  comment after the dot hides an imported builder's server fn.

Subject: [PATCH 0118/1425] test(start-plugin-core): fix the returned-builder
 and computed-member pins, port the shadowed namespace receiver test

- kb:414 FIX PIN: the support branch also requires the evaluated client
  `fn` to be an RPC and the provider (through the reported server fn) to run
  the handler; the rejection branch stays
- kb:454 FIX PIN: a clear compile error naming the computed call is a valid
  outcome; otherwise each construct follows its contract (server fn RPC,
  middleware evaluates without .server(), isomorphic fn returns 'client'),
  not only "no server import"
- #8504 cmp:1605 (shadowed parenthesized namespace receiver, server fn
  variant): passes on main with the kind detection the bundler plugins run,
  so it is a passing test in compiler.test.ts, not a pin

Subject: [PATCH 0119/1425] test(start-plugin-core): add the Vite dev
 handler-edit and factory-edit tests (N15, N16, N17), loosen the build harness
 control

- N16 (start-compiler-dev-server.test.ts): an edited server fn handler runs
  through the dev resolver under the same id without a restart (replaces
  the resolver module source checks and the HMR half of ead:291; gap DV24)
- N17: a module importing a factory that stops being one keeps its handler
  in the client (mirrors rsbuild/dev-server.test.ts)
- N15 (known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts): the SSR variant of DV26 is red on
  main (transitive importers through export * keep their old transform);
  pinned next to the client pin, with an SSR direct-importer control
- bh:11 REWRITE: the handler is nowhere in the client build and somewhere
  in the SSR build; whether it loads eagerly or on demand is left open (the
  SF17 fix may make it eager)

Subject: [PATCH 0121/1425] test(start-plugin-core): delete the compiler tests
 of internal detection and caching

Deleted, each with its covering test (memo start-compiler, compiler.test.ts):
- detectKindsInCode unit tests (12 DELETE): per-kind detection and multiple
  kinds are covered by start-compiler-factories.test.ts "each output keeps
  the implementation of its environment" (fac:28), "isomorphic, server-only
  and middleware implementations in one module" (fac:143), "compiles a
  server function through a parenthesized namespace receiver" (cmp:1430),
  "removes server-only code through a parenthesized namespace" (cmp:1441),
  "a module that $name is left untouched" (fac:197 rows) and the builder
  module rows of fac:253 / kb:284; the text pre-filter they pinned is the
  root cause of the kb:338 pin
- "resets external transform regex state between detections" (REPLACE):
  "a transform whose detect pattern has the g flag runs for every module it
  detects" (N8)
- ".handler whitespace variations" / "whitespace between . and handler"
  (REPLACE): createServerFn.test.ts "a handler called with $name is
  extracted" (N7)
- "server environment excludes Middleware from detected kinds": fac:143
  (SSR keeps the middleware and evaluates it)
- "edge cases for detectedKinds" (3): internal host parameter, no
  user-visible behaviour
- "compile caches modules without detected candidates for transitive
  importer traversal" (getTransitiveImporters return value): the
  user-visible outcome is known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts "SSR: a module
  importing an edited factory module through a re-export ..." (N15 pin,
  with its direct-importer control) and the client pin kbd:102
- "ingestModule populates module metadata": "re-exported
  createServerOnlyFn still resolves correctly" (same start-client-core ->
  start-fn-stubs chain, evaluated) and the fac:253 rows
- "invalidateModule preserves root lookup metadata": merged into
  "invalidateModule clears cached module resolution state" (production
  lookup configuration)

  provider keeps it)
- factory: "a server fn builder with middleware is callable as a factory"
  (N5)
- isomorphic-fns: "a route file: the provider runs the server fns, each
  output runs its isomorphic branch" (N6)

Deleted tests -> covering tests:
- "should compile validator method" (inline snapshot): cdc:334
- "should work with identifiers of functions": hs:41 row "a function
  declared after the server fn" (identifier handler run by the provider,
  callers evaluate to RPCs); id parity ead:27
- "should remove imports used only as caller handler identifiers"
  (REPLACE): hs:41 row "an imported function" (N10)
- "should use dce by default": cdc:498 "callers drop handler-only cycles",
  cdc:540, hs:41 (provider runs each fn); whether an unused unexported
  server fn is extracted is left open
- "fast path / slow path (resolveId calls)": performance mechanism; the
  factory alias behaviour is start-compiler-factories.test.ts row "a server
  fn factory const-aliased in another module" (N9)
- "should resolve local named re-exports": fac:253 row "renamed re-exports
  next to a type-only re-export"
- "should resolve export-star re-export chains": fac:347 "an export * chain
  with $name" and fac:253
- exports-and-directives "dev ids encode the provider module and the
  handler export" (internal id format): known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts
  "calls a server fn id on the dev server that compiled its module" (kb:1417
  control, id -> getServerFnById -> handler) and
  start-compiler-dev-server.test.ts "the server fn resolver runs the edited
  handler under the same id" (N16)

Subject: [PATCH 0123/1425] test(start-plugin-core): delete the middleware,
 isomorphic fn, env-only and ClientOnly snapshot suites

Snapshot fixtures -> covering tests:
createMiddleware (client):
- create-function-middleware: "a function middleware keeps .client() and
  drops .server() and its imports" (N3)
- createMiddlewareDestructured: N3 ".server() given a function expression,
  an arrow, an identifier or a wrapper call ..."
- createMiddlewareDestructuredRename / createMiddlewareStarImport:
  start-compiler-import-forms.test.ts (N1) "createMiddleware through a
  renamed import / a namespace member"
- createMiddlewareValidator: N3 "the validator and its module leave the
  client"
- createStart: N3 "middleware of a createStart instance ..."
- middleware-factory: N3 "a middleware built inside a function ..."
createIsomorphicFn (client, server):
- call-at-module-level: start-compiler-factories.test.ts "a
  default-exported function" iso row (fac:60) and "isomorphic, server-only
  and middleware implementations in one module" (fac:143)
- createIsomorphicFnDestructured: N2 "one implementation, both orders and
  function references"
- createIsomorphicFnDestructuredRename / StarImport: N1
- createIsomorphicFnFactory: N2 "isomorphic fns returned by factories"
- createIsomorphicFnInline: N2 "isomorphic fns created and called inside
  functions"
envOnly (client, server):
- envOnlyDestructured: fac:28 "each output keeps the implementation of its
  environment"
- envOnlyDestructuredRename: fac:28 (`createClientOnlyFn as clientOnly`) and
  kb "expectServerOnlyRead accepts a top-level renamed createServerOnlyFn"
  (kb:244 control row 2)
- envOnlyStarImport / envOnlyExportedAlias: N1 (namespace member; renamed
  import with the call result wrapped in `as`)
- envOnlyFactory: fac:123 (in a class method) and kb:244 control row 1 (in
  a function body)
clientOnlyJSX (server): the five TanStack fixtures -> N4 "a boundary with
$name renders its fallback on the server and its children on the client";
clientOnlyNotFromTanstack / clientOnlyWrongImportName -> N4 "the server
renders the children of $name"

Deleted tests:
- createMiddleware "should compile validator method" (inline snapshot,
  REPLACE): N3 validator test
- createMiddleware fast path / slow path (resolveId calls): performance
  mechanism; a middleware builder finished in another module is pinned at
  kb:338, the module-level case is fac:253 row 1
- ClientOnlyJSX "should not be detected on client" (REPLACE) / "should be
  detected on server": N4 client and server renders

Kept: createMiddleware "requires an argument for validator()" (now compiled
with the production configuration), the start-client-core middleware
resolution tests, the "implementation not provided" errors.

Subject: [PATCH 0124/1425] test(start-plugin-core): delete the dev
 transitive-importer and resolver source tests

- start-compiler-factories.test.ts "dev: modules reaching a factory through
  imports and export * are its transitive importers" (REPLACE, internal
  getTransitiveImporters and `?v=1` handling): the user-visible outcome is
  known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts "SSR: a module importing an edited factory
  module through a re-export calls the handler through its RPC" (N15, red
  on main: pinned) with its direct-importer control, and the client pin
  "client: a module importing an edited factory module through a
  re-export loads no server code" (kbd:102)
- server-fn-resolver-module.test.ts "imports on every call by default" and
  "keeps the imported module when memoizeModules is set" (REPLACE,
  generated source text): start-compiler-dev-server.test.ts "SSR: the
  server fn resolver runs the edited handler under the same id, without a
  restart" (N16); memoization in builds is a performance detail

Subject: [PATCH 0125/1425] test(router-plugin): check React route modules stay
 Fast Refresh boundaries with plugin-react's runtime

Load the compiled route module twice with a Vite hot context and run
plugin-react's validateRefreshBoundaryAndEnqueueUpdate on the two export
sets, for a route, an undefined component and a root route, with the code
splitter and the route HMR plugin. Every export the runtime does not ignore
must be a registered component.

Subject: [PATCH 0126/1425] test(router-plugin): pin component identity across
 hot updates of unsplit routes

Add hotUpdate rows for an unsplit route with all five component options
(each keeps its identity) and for an update that adds a shellComponent
(the live component is the new module's). Drop the root route's
isLazy('component') assertion, which pinned the root-never-split
limitation, the unused ./posts stub and the vacuous window assertion of
the no-HMR rows.

Subject: [PATCH 0131/1425] test(start-plugin-core): check server fn builder
 options survive and cover satisfies in the import forms

The createServerFn construct of the import-forms table now passes
{ method: 'GET' }: the evaluated client and SSR server fns keep it as their
options. Add a 'call result wrapped in satisfies' form.

 returned by a factory

A createClientOnlyFn returned by a function or an arrow function runs on
the client and throws on the server, whose output does not import the
client-only module. Replace the vacuous toHaveProperty('server') check of
the default-exported middleware with its recorded options.

Subject: [PATCH 0134/1425] test(start-plugin-core): check a provider
 dependency edit is a hot update

The existing handler-edit test passes without the provider's HMR accept
code (the caller module reloads the server either way). Editing a module
only the handler reads must hot-update the provider without a full reload
and the handler must run the new code.

Subject: [PATCH 0136/1425] test(start-plugin-core): require RPC and env
 behaviour in builder resolution pins

Pin a createMiddleware alias declared in another module (red on main).
The export * cache, namespace import and re-exported Start namespace pins
now also require the client to call an RPC and the provider to run the
handler; the builder-in-another-module rows check what the evaluated
client does. Each tightened pin has a passing control in the same harness.

Subject: [PATCH 0139/1425] test(start-plugin-core): assert import-protection
 mocks by evaluating them

Replace the name-list assertions of analysis.exports with evaluated mocks:
every importable name is exposed by each generated mock module (N1, replaces
the isValidExportName tests), an importer of a denied module links and gets
mocks for what it uses (N2), and the self mock of a denied file exposes the
exports of the evaluated file (N3).

New .fails pins: the empty export name, reserved names (delete/eval/
arguments), a namespace member read before its import, and namespace
re-exports, enums and namespaces in the self mock (ported from #8504).

Subject: [PATCH 0140/1425] test(start-plugin-core): locate denied-import uses
 in real Start compiler output

The safe-boundary rows of analysis.usage now compile the module with the
real Start compiler for the environment and look the use up the way the
plugins do (findOriginalUsageLocation), so a compiled-output implementation
passes as well as today's name heuristic (N4). Real server fn and middleware
values replace the name-only rows.

Loosened: the immediately invoked handler argument (reported at most at a
denied reference), with a .fails goal (no use reported). New .fails pins: an
object named like a server fn, a member property named like the import, type
positions, JSX element uses (the last three ported from #8504).

Subject: [PATCH 0141/1425] test(start-plugin-core): evaluate rewritten denied
 imports in a module graph

rewrite.test.ts evaluates rewritten modules with the module linker, so
project imports resolve: a non-denied import keeps its real value, each denied
source gets its own mock, and code after a rewritten import maps back through
the source map. The every-form evaluation test gains an identifier-alias import
and re-export.

Loosened: `export * from` a denied module only has to evaluate without
loading it (goal pin: dev server). New .fails pin, ported from #8504: a module
declaring the name of the mock import.

Subject: [PATCH 0142/1425] test(start-plugin-core): tighten the
 import-protection pins and add their controls

- export * as ns: the pin now requires ns.secret to be the mock, not only a
  defined ns.
- Start namespace boundaries: moved onto real Start compiler output and the
  plugins' usage lookup (with a control), so any fix is accepted.
- delete: evaluated through the mock helpers; asserts the name is exported,
  not mock identity; the prescribed fix is dropped.
- #8101: control that the client bundle drops the module without import
  protection (N8), and a build failure other than the import-protection
  error no longer satisfies the pin.
- New passing rows: a JSX pragma or legal comment after a directive stays in
  effect (ported from #8504).
- New build test (N9, #8102): a denied re-export barrel the client uses fails
  the build.

Subject: [PATCH 0143/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin dev mocks of names
 re-exported with export * from a denied module

On a Vite dev server with import protection, a client module evaluated as the
browser loads it gets mocks for the names it imports from a denied file or
specifier (control, N7). Goal pin (IP12, N6): a name another module
re-exports with `export *` from a denied module is a mock too, or the server
warns about the `export *`; today the importer fails to link, for denied
files and specifiers alike.

 build tests

New importProtection/build.test.ts (Vite Start build): the #8102 re-export
barrel test moves here from known-bugs.test.ts (it passes: no false negative
on Rolldown), and a file with both a server-only and a client-only marker
fails the build (gap IP5, N11).

Subject: [PATCH 0145/1425] test(react-start-rsc): evaluate RSC CSS transform
 output and pin the D8 goals

evaluateCompiled now links compiled modules with the module linker
(@tanstack/compiler-test-utils, new devDependency; lockfile regenerated) in
place of a regex specifier swap, and every test asserts evaluated values: the
CSS envelope the runtime receives, the streamed payload, recorded render
calls. Inline snapshots and kind labels are gone.

- Import forms (named, renamed, namespace) x both specifiers x the three APIs
  (R-N1); the client compile loads no CSS; provider-only Rsbuild transforms
  evaluated; wrapped JSX streams the CSS.
- Dev server (R-N2): with the Start compiler plugin set up like the RSC
  integration, only the rsc environment loads CSS.
- Loosened: calls outside the transform constraints keep their arguments.
- D8 goal pins (.fails): renderToReadableStream(<JSX/>, options) streams the
  CSS and keeps the options; all-JSX conditional and logical arguments stream
  the CSS; in dev, an identifier or spread argument warns naming
  renderToReadableStream. Passing: no warning in a build, and none for a
  plain-data model.

Subject: [PATCH 0146/1425] test(e2e): pin RSC CSS of a server component a
 helper module renders

A route's server fn calls a helper module (not the server fn file) that
renders a server component with a CSS module through renderServerComponent
(R-E1, C9). Its styles apply on Vite. On Rsbuild the CSS transform only
rewrites server fn provider modules, so the card renders unstyled: pinned with
test.fail for the rsbuild toolchain. routeTree.gen.ts regenerated by the build.

Subject: [PATCH 0147/1425] test(start-plugin-core): delete mechanism tests of
 mock export name collection

Deleted, with the tests covering their behaviour:
- ignores type-only imports: a type-only import is not an import edge,
  importProtection/utils.test.ts "skips type-only static import sources".
- ignores type-only re-exports: utils.test.ts "skips type-only re-export
  sources".
- sorts output alphabetically: no user-visible behaviour (mock-edge ids are
  internal); validity of the mocks: analysis.exports.test.ts "an importer
  evaluates with mocks for what it uses".
- returns empty map for code with no relevant imports: utils.test.ts
  "returns empty array for code with no imports".

 preference and caching tests

Deleted, with the tests covering their behaviour:
- prefers call usage over earlier non-preferred identifier usage: any real
  use is a correct location; analysis.usage.test.ts "finds preferred call
  usage for named import" and "falls back to non-binding identifier usage
  if no preferred usage exists".
- repeated lookups on one transform result return the cached position:
  caching is not behaviour; results are covered by the findPostCompileUsagePos
  rows and sourceLocation.test.ts "prefers original usage site over import
  site when original code is available".

Subject: [PATCH 0152/1425] test(start-plugin-core): let renderBoundaries take
 stubs and a runtime, allow the source's globals in loadClientModule

loadClientModule validates the parent and the chunks against the globals
the source itself reads, and no longer asks the Hydrate plugin for the
extension-probe ids of the module linker. The hydration stubs export every
strategy.

Subject: [PATCH 0153/1425] test(start-plugin-core): assert Hydrate captures by
 rendering the parent with its chunks

Every captures test renders the parent once its chunks have loaded and
compares with the original output, instead of reading the chunk props by
name. Adds the rows of hydrate-when-transform.test.ts (shorthand and
computed members), hydrateWhen.test.ts (local component, generated names
next to globals) and the #8504 label row. The #8504 rows red on main are
pinned in known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 0154/1425] test(start-plugin-core): assert the Hydrate
 split-module tests by rendering, port the #8504 split-module tests

- children-only modules are not linked before the chunk loads (instead of
  declaration placement and import lists)
- conditionals and callbacks: client ids and output equal the server's
- preload wiring by calling the preload a boundary receives (N8, with the
  hydrateWhen Basic and PrefetchState fixtures)
- server fn called from the chunk: run through the reported server fns
  instead of the generated handler name
- shared and call-returned spreads loosened to render checks, with the
  shared-spread fallback goal (N14)
- recompiled chunk ids render instead of matching id formats
- ports of #8504: directive prologue, exact JSX text, return statements in
  handlers and IIFEs, self-closing rows, children prop goal, chunk source
  map, exported declarations, the loosened route-file export test (N13)

Rows red on main are pinned in known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 0155/1425] test(start-plugin-core): fix the Hydrate pins and
 pin the main bugs of the #8504 ports

- recursive boundaries: client ids and output equal the server's
  (renderBoundaries with concrete data) instead of counting printed ids
- match by binding: the local-Hydrate bug pin stays, the namespace row
  becomes a goal pin next to a passing regression test
- await: valid output that renders the awaited value is accepted too
- Route: table of the #8504 rows (one route created), the unexported
  Route pin (clear error or one route)
- boundary-id shift: isomorphic .client() and createClientOnlyFn rows (N16)
- exported declaration initialized once (goal of the copied exports)
- the rejection-matcher control uses a function child
- new pins for #8504 ports red on main: local component names, member
  tags, property-name TDZ, local enum, multi-line JSX text, string
  children prop, default export, module enums/namespaces, written-only let

Subject: [PATCH 0156/1425] test(start-plugin-core): add outcome tests of the
 Hydrate boundary forms

Server fallback removal in every form (N2), split={false} forms (N3),
function children rejection (N4, optional Solid goal), hooks / this /
super loosened tests with goal pins (N5, N6), nested boundary parity with
a later sibling (N7), renamed import (N9), elements that are not the
Start Hydrate (N10), Solid (N11) and recompiling after invalidation
(N17). They replace hydrate-when-transform.test.ts and
hydrateWhen.test.ts, which call the transform directly.

Subject: [PATCH 0157/1425] test(start-plugin-core): add Vite build and
 dev-server tests of Hydrate

- build: the children's modules load lazily and the server build drops the
  fallback, with the chart in a project module or a sideEffects-free
  package (N19)
- build: an export only the children use loads lazily when its
  initializer can be dropped; goal pin that a side-effectful one is
  reported (N20)
- dev: a chunk requested before its parent renders, and an edit of the
  file reaches it (N18)

Subject: [PATCH 0158/1425] test(start-plugin-core): delete
 hydrate-when-transform.test.ts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It ran the Hydrate transform directly with Babel types, bypassing the
Start compiler, and asserted printed output. Each test is covered by an
outcome test:

- spread declared after its function -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts
  'the server strips the client-only fallback' (row 'declared after the
  component', server and client)
- parenthesized split={(false)} -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts
  'split={false}' row 'a parenthesized false'
- parenthesized spreads, computed ['fallback'], server strips fallback ->
  hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts 'the server strips the client-only
  fallback'
- no preload callback for known props -> deleted (optimisation); preload
  wiring is hydrate-split-modules.test.ts 'a boundary with … preloads its
  own chunk'
- parenthesized function child / hook call, function-as-children, hook
  calls -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts 'children that cannot be split'
  and 'hooks called by the children'
- splits behind a lazy import -> hydrate-split-modules.test.ts 'modules
  and bindings only the split children use are not needed before the
  chunk loads', 'boundaries in conditionals and callbacks hydrate like the
  server renders them', known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts harness controls
- Solid import source -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts 'Solid: a Hydrate
  of @tanstack/solid-start splits with the Solid packages'
- nested boundaries, sibling ids after nested -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts
  'a nested boundary and a later sibling hydrate with the ids the server
  renders'
- supplied bundler code -> hydrate-split-modules.test.ts 'a Solid chunk
  loads from the code the bundler supplies'
- shorthand and computed captures -> hydrate-captures.test.ts 'the
  children read locals through a shorthand property and a computed member'
- exported declarations -> hydrate-split-modules.test.ts 'exported
  declarations of every form used by the children render', 'an exported
  component of a route file renders in the chunk, and the route is created
  once'; goals in known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts and hydrate-build.test.ts
- invalidated source -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts 'after the module is
  invalidated and compiled again, its chunk ids render the new children',
  hydrate-build.test.ts 'a chunk requested before its parent module…'
- mismatched source hash -> hydrate-split-modules.test.ts 'the chunks of a
  module stay loadable after another module is compiled'

Subject: [PATCH 0159/1425] test(start-plugin-core): delete the hydrateWhen
 snapshot suite

It ran the Hydrate transform directly with Babel types and snapshotted the
printed output. What each fixture and test is for is covered by an outcome
test:

- Basic -> hydrate-split-modules.test.ts 'modules and bindings only the
  split children use are not needed before the chunk loads', 'server:
  bindings only the stripped fallback uses are removed', 'a boundary with
  a direct prefetch prop preloads its own chunk'
- Multiple -> hydrate-split-modules.test.ts 'boundaries in conditionals and
  callbacks hydrate like the server renders them', regression-helpers.test.ts
  'compileHydrate orders chunks like their boundaries in the source'
- Nested (and its virtual-module snapshots), 'should extract virtual
  modules and keep nested ids stable' -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts 'a
  nested boundary and a later sibling hydrate with the ids the server
  renders'
- Never -> hydrate-split-modules.test.ts 'split / split="true" splits the
  children' (the transform ignores when)
- NoImport, NotFromTanstack, WrongImportName -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts
  'elements that are not the Start Hydrate'
- ObjectFallback -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts 'the server strips the
  client-only fallback'
- PrefetchState -> hydrate-split-modules.test.ts 'a prefetch callback
  updates the state of the parent component'
- Renamed -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts 'a renamed import of Hydrate is
  a boundary'
- SplitFalse -> hydrate-split-modules.test.ts 'a split={false} boundary
  loses a fallback passed through a spread too', hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts
  fallback row 'a direct fallback with split={false}' and 'split={false}'
- SplitFalseFunctionChild -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts 'split={false}'
- generated lazy names next to globals -> hydrate-captures.test.ts 'a
  global named like a generated binding keeps its value'
- captured local components and values -> hydrate-captures.test.ts 'the
  children render a local component and read a local value'
- client extraction errors -> hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts 'children that
  cannot be split', 'hooks called by the children', 'this and super in the
  children' (the super fixture read a class field; the new one reads a
  getter)
- server extraction errors -> deleted: which environment reports is
  mechanism; the tests above compile both and accept a rejection from
  either

Subject: [PATCH 0166/1425] test(start-plugin-core): locate denied-import uses
 like the Vite plugin

The usage-location harness now follows the Vite plugin's lookup
(resolveImporterLocation): no violation when the compiled module no
longer imports the denied source, else the use found in the compiled
code through its source map, then the unsafe use in the original code,
then the import statement. It used to call only the original-code
fallback, so the compiled output was never consulted.

Through it, the namespace-import (`Start.createServerFn().handler`,
`Start.createServerOnlyFn`) and immediately-invoked-handler cases report
no violation, so they become rows of the safe-boundary table and their
pins, the loosened test and the namespace control are deleted. The
`myServerFn` object case is reported at the real use and becomes a
passing test.

evaluateCompiled gave the compiled module both `import.meta.viteRsc` and
`import.meta.rspackRsc`, so a transform that ignored `loadCssExpression`
still passed the Rsbuild provider-only test. Only the provider the
configured expression names is defined now.

Subject: [PATCH 0168/1425] test(start-plugin-core): report .js, .jsx, .mjs and
 .cjs importers of a .server file on Rsbuild

The Rsbuild dev-server harness can now run Start's import protection on
the client environment (its loader runs through a JavaScript stand-in
that delegates to the TypeScript loader). A client module of each
JavaScript extension (and a .ts control) that imports a .server file is
reported as a file violation, and the server value stays out of the
client output. This replaces the coverage of the deleted loader-rule
test (`test: /\.[cm]?[tj]sx?$/`).

Subject: [PATCH 0170/1425] test(start-plugin-core): check the other Hydrate
 props survive the fallback strip

Every row of the server and client fallback tables now passes `when`,
and both environments must hand it to <Hydrate> unchanged. A new
direct-attribute row also passes `prefetch` and `onHydrated`, which must
reach the boundary in both environments.

Subject: [PATCH 0171/1425] test(start-plugin-core): require Hydrate render
 tests to render through a chunk

renderPage (hydrate-captures) and the split-chunk render tests only
compared the rendered HTML, which an unsplit boundary renders the same.
They now also require at least one lazy chunk, every one rendered
(new helper expectRenderedThroughChunks). With splitting disabled in
loadClientModule (scratch, removed), 40 of these tests fail instead of
15.

Subject: [PATCH 0174/1425] test(start-plugin-core): build Hydrate children
 from a barrel without side-effect hints

Adds the N19 row the memo asked for: the chart comes from a barrel
package without "sideEffects": false, which the page imports eagerly.
The bundler finds no side effect in the chart module, so the chart
code is still only in the lazy chunk; the server drops the fallback.

`/\bthis\b/` also matched the function-as-children advice ("Use
split={false} for this boundary"), so an unrelated rejection satisfied
the `this` row. Both rows now require the message to say the children
capture `this` / `super`.

Subject: [PATCH 0176/1425] test(start-plugin-core): render the recompiled
 parent's chunk after a Hydrate edit

The invalidation test (compiler) and the Vite dev-server edit test
required the chunk id / URL to stay the same after the children
changed. Content-addressed ids are as valid, so both now take the chunk
the recompiled (or re-served) parent imports and require it to render
the new children.

Subject: [PATCH 0180/1425] test(start-plugin-core): build Start apps through
 Start's Vite and Rsbuild plugins

The Start build harness now builds through Start's own plugin of each
bundler (tanStackStartVite / tanStackStartRsbuild with React Start's
options) instead of the Vite compiler plugin alone: Start's environments,
compiler, import protection, router generator and code splitter, and
generated server fn resolver. buildStart({ bundler: 'vite' | 'rsbuild' })
describes each environment (where(), run(), warnings) like before; the
stand-in react-start package uses the real package's import-only exports.
Rsbuild's loader paths for the TypeScript sources are shared with the
Rsbuild dev-server harness.

build-harness.test.ts now holds control tests of the harness (where/run,
server fn RPC ids and the generated resolver, route generation and
splitting, warnings, build errors) for both bundlers; its two absence
checks move to start-build-env-separation.test.ts.

Existing build tests get an Rsbuild row: known-bugs-start-compiler (D2, D4,
SF17, D6, #7213), hydrate-build (N19, N20), import protection (#8101 and
its controls, IP5, IP6b). Pins red on Rsbuild for the same reason stay
.fails (D2, SF17, D6, N20, #8101); D4 and #7213 pass on Rsbuild. Import
protection fixtures move under src/ (protection only checks the source
directory), and the N20 fixture's initializer gets a real side effect
(Start's Vite client build inlines and drops an identity call).

+ * Real-build harness for Start goal tests whose outcome the bundler decides

+ * Start's own Vite or Rsbuild plugin (`tanStackStartVite` /
+ * `tanStackStartRsbuild` with the options `@tanstack/react-start` passes),
+ * so its environments (client, then SSR, which is the server fn provider),
+ * the Start compiler, import protection, the router generator and code
+ * splitter, and the generated server fn resolver are Start's. The output of
+ * each environment is described and run with the shared build harness
+ * (`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/build-harness`). The temporary apps live
+ * in this directory.
  *
- * `@tanstack/react-start` is a minimal stand-in package written into the app
- * (`startRuntimeFiles`): server functions run their handler through the
- * generated server-function resolver, client RPCs throw when called.
+ * The runtime packages are stand-ins written into the app
+ * (`startRuntimeFiles`, and `routerRuntimeFiles` for apps with routes):
+ * server functions run their handler, SSR callers go through the generated
+ * server fn resolver, client RPCs throw when called, server builds keep
+ * middleware as written. The app's entries are the harness's: the client and
+ * server entries Start builds import `#tanstack-start-entry` (`src/start.ts`
+ * when the app has one), `#tanstack-router-entry` (`src/router.ts`, a stub
+ * unless the app has one) and the test's entry module, whose exports `run()`
+ * gives the script as `entry`.
  *
- * Vite only: the Rsbuild integration needs its compiler host and loaders.
+ * Import protection is on, with Start's defaults unless the test configures
+ * it; it checks the modules of the source directory (`src`) only.

Subject: [PATCH 0181/1425] test(start-plugin-core): server code of each Start
 construct stays out of client builds

One app per bundler (Vite and Rsbuild, through Start's plugins), built once
for all rows: a server fn handler, a function middleware's .server() and
validator, an isomorphic fn's .server(), a server-only fn, route
server.handlers / headers / ssr (Start's own router plugin wiring), a
server fn of a split route file, a server route, and a request middleware
of src/start.ts each import a module carrying a marker. The marker is
nowhere in the client output and the SSR build runs the code. All rows
pass on main for both bundlers (holes C1, C2, C3).

Subject: [PATCH 0182/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin Rsbuild failing on a
 middleware and an isomorphic fn in one module

In the SSR build, the Start compiler resolves the module's createMiddleware
import through the Rsbuild loader context, which does not match the
import-only exports of @tanstack/react-start: PackagePathNotExported.
.fails on Rsbuild, passing on Vite (lost-cases item 3, BS-6 / K-13).

Subject: [PATCH 0183/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): probe dynamic imports
 and list declarations by syntax tree

probeDynamicImports names the module each dynamic import a function starts
targets without loading it, so a harness can tell which module a lazy value
loads. declaredNames lists runtime declarations from the syntax tree (every
declarator, destructured bindings, enums, namespaces), where the
declarationOf regex misses later declarators and destructuring.

Subject: [PATCH 0184/1425] test(router-plugin): label lazy modules by the
 options that load them, assert outcomes

Harness: loadRoute labels each lazy module by the route options whose
loader imports it (found by probing the import, not by export names) and
gives chunkOf(option) and importFromRoute(source); compileRouteModules no
longer guesses roles; tests use declaredNames instead of the declarationOf
regex; buildAndRun apps no longer inherit this package's
"sideEffects": false (a sideEffects option sets the hint).

Tests: placement and exact-import assertions of the dead-code, scope,
imports-exports, module-state and route-options suites become rendered
outputs, loader values and init counts, keeping only negative 'module does
not import/declare X' checks; split chunks are no longer evaluated alone;
route module exports are checked through an importing module (P1 ruling);
the D5 and NODE_ENV pins no longer depend on export lists or warning text;
the build-harness warning control no longer relies on an unsplittable
export; same-file route factories and IIFEs are asserted split and
hot-updated (main does), with fix-agnostic pins for factory routes main
breaks; the stale hot-data test runs the real flow.

Subject: [PATCH 0185/1425] test(start-plugin-core): render split Hydrate
 children through the page, not chunks alone

Hydrate split-module tests now load the page with its chunks
(loadClientModule) and require the children to render through them,
instead of rendering a chunk alone or reading strings of the output.
Initialiser timing is no longer pinned (only that the chunk's imports are
not linked before the chunks load, and the initialiser runs once). The
server fn chunk test calls the RPC from the rendered chunk and runs it on
the server by that id. Removes helpers no test needs anymore
(getBoundaryIds, evaluateHydrateParent, parentImportSources) and harness
controls for an unreachable config and a deleted optimisation.

Subject: [PATCH 0186/1425] test(start-plugin-core): detect the pre-bundled
 dependency dev hang in about 1.5 s

The pin and its control waited a fixed 15 s for the client transform. The
harness now reports a hang once the transform has made no progress for
1.5 s (no plugin hook ran and the main thread stayed idle; a dependency
optimizer bundling keeps it busy), capped at 15 s. Checked both ways: red
with 'hang' on main, and green with a scratch fix that skips loading
pre-bundled dependencies.

Both tests now assert the outcome instead of the printed createClientRpc:
no handler body in the client transform, and the served module evaluates
with fn as an RPC carrying its id (rubric-start item 6).

Subject: [PATCH 0187/1425] test(start-plugin-core): assert SSR server fns
 after a factory edit by behaviour

The SSR factory-edit control and pins asserted "calls the handler through
its RPC" as the absence of db.x() in the SSR transform. User ruling P2
allows SSR to keep the handler in place, so they now assert what SSR code
and HTTP calls observe: after the edit, the SSR export is a server fn with
an id, calling it runs the handler, and the server fn resolver runs it for
that id. The pins stay red for the stale transform (no id; the resolver
rejects "Invalid server function ID: undefined") (rubric-start item 11).

Subject: [PATCH 0188/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Hydrate pins require the
 children to render through their chunks

The known-bug pins on captured values and module-level code (and the
hooks goal) now also require every lazy chunk to render, so a fix that
silently leaves the boundary unsplit cannot flip them. Re-verified the
id-shift pins (each row red on a shifted id or the removed boundary's
children) and added the row the gap analysis found missing: a component
with a boundary that only a removed server fn handler renders.

Subject: [PATCH 0189/1425] test(router-plugin): outcome-level HMR, context and
 JSX tests; pin lost cases
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- handle-route-update runs each update through a route file compiled by
  the route HMR plugin instead of the internal getHandleRouteUpdateCode([])
  (AGENTS.md line updated).
- Parenthesized route factories and two router plugins in one dev server
  are asserted through loading the routes, not plugin internals.
- The shared JSX component test checks identity and covers non-ASCII
  names; pins _Widget/$Widget/éWidget being duplicated per chunk (main bug).
- Drops the vacuous esbuild row of the HMR production check; low-severity
  rewrites (run counts instead of text search).
- Lost cases from the #8504 campaign: enum/namespace direct reads, merged
  namespace, type-only readers and reassigned lets copied into chunks, F-06
  in the route HMR plugin, aliased createFileRoute, options from a call, two
  file routes in one module, classic factory imports, two-space @jsx,
  'export { Page as default }', exported const component, component shared
  by two split options (hint-dependent), exported component another route
  renders, cast route options with server handlers, parameter decorators
  (pins); type arguments, side-effect initializer shapes, duplicate Route
  refusal, exported component next to a shared helper (passing).

 - Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object. Which bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
 - Every option configured for splitting must end up split. When a pattern the user can change prevents it, the option keeps working in the entry and the build warns once, naming the file and the option. When the limitation is ours, it is a bug to fix, not a warning.

+- `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules. Keep runtime dependencies inside the function or explicitly emit them; extracting a helper to plugin module scope breaks the generated function. `tests/handle-route-update.test.ts` executes that emitted code: it compiles edited route files with the route HMR plugin and evaluates them next to a live router.
 - Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
 - Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: compile the route and load the emitted modules with `loadRoute` from `tests/regression-helpers.ts` (built on the module linker from `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils`), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.
 - Run behavioural tests for React, Solid and Vue through the `targetFramework` option of the test helpers.

Subject: [PATCH 0190/1425] test(router-generator): assert error outcomes and
 generator runs instead of internals

Error-fixture tests now fail when the generator does not throw
(rejects.toThrow); the route-tree directory test runs once instead of once
per fixture folder; option keys are asserted through what generator
plugins receive after a full run instead of transform() internals; the
template tests scaffold empty route files with quotes in their paths (pins
the Vue template breaking on them); adds a CRLF generator run.

Subject: [PATCH 0191/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover more Hydrate
 boundary forms by outcome

- a module-level element passed as fallback (with and without
  split={false}) is stripped on the server and reaches the client boundary
- the when prop (strategy calls with options, a prop, a local, a
  conditional, a custom function) reaches the boundary in both
  environments, children rendered through their chunk
- a dynamic split={flag} still splits and hydrates like the server renders
- the this/super rejection only has to name what the children read
- the vacuous invalidation test is replaced by the reachable edge: Rsbuild
  loading a chunk with the edited source before the parent recompiles

Subject: [PATCH 0192/1425] test(router-plugin): delete duplicates whose
 coverage now lives elsewhere

- pipeline's out-of-order .fails pin: same root cause and stronger dev
  server pin in known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts (DV8, 'compiles the shared
  module and chunks requested before the route module'); its precondition
  also required a shared module, so it was not fix-agnostic.
- route-hmr 'leave a module that creates no route as it is': merged into
  pipeline 'modules that are not route files' (now with and without HMR).
- router-plugin-context 'does not add HMR code in $mode': merged into
  route-hmr 'route modules compiled without HMR' (both modes, every route).

Subject: [PATCH 0193/1425] test(start-plugin-core): read server-only routes
 from real Start builds

The client route tree pins read the route generator's crawl through
Start internals (pruneServerOnlySubtrees). They now build an app with
Start's Vite and Rsbuild plugins (one build per bundler, a route file per
row) and read the client build's route tree, so a fix anywhere in Start's
wiring flips them (rubric-start item 8). Rsbuild does not prune the client
route tree at all, so the pruning control is Vite-only and the page rows
pass on Rsbuild.

New pins (lost-cases-campaign item 1): route options wrapped in
`as never`, `as any` or `satisfies` keep their server handler code
in the client bundle with both bundlers (red: marker eager).

The prerender rows stay at generator level: the build harness has no
preview server, which Start's prerender step needs.

Subject: [PATCH 0194/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Hydrate generated-name
 fixtures no longer depend on today's names

The global, user-binding and collision fixtures first compile the page to
collect the binding names the compiler introduces (generatedNames in the
new tests/hydrate-helpers.ts), then declare exactly those names as globals,
module-level or local user bindings. The collision pin now also covers a
module-level binding the children shadow with a local of the same name
(also red on main: the chunk keeps it by name and its export collides).

Subject: [PATCH 0195/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): serve the client in
 Vite's full-bundle dev mode

`createDevServer({ bundledDev: { entry } })` turns on Vite's
experimental.bundledDev for the client (Rolldown's dev engine, eager
chunks) from that entry; `clientBundle()` returns the latest client
bundle (rejecting with the bundling error), and `settle()` has the dev
engine rebuild from the edited files. In this mode Vite sends no hot
updates, so an event counts as handled once every environment's
watchChange hooks have run. Controls: the bundle follows an edit and
keeps unimported modules out; a failing bundle rejects.

Source: oracle-gaps H4 / DV29 (no harness support for bundledDev).

Subject: [PATCH 0196/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Hydrate builds hydrate
 like the server renders, timing left open

- Vite and Rsbuild builds now render the client through its lazy chunks
  (every lazy component loads, then the page renders again) and compare
  HTML and boundary ids with the SSR build
- the parent's module-level initializer may run eagerly or lazily (not
  both); only the children's imports must be lazy
- the N20 goal accepts lazy or eager (eager only when reported), so the
  pin stays red on the duplicate only
- new: module-level code only the children use is not duplicated
- new: boundaries in two split route options (component, pendingComponent)
  hydrate with the ids the server renders (gap H10)
- new: Vite dev server serving a Solid boundary with the Solid packages
  only; its chunk renders through the nested chunk and an edit reaches it

Subject: [PATCH 0197/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Hydrate chunk and parent
 source maps point at the user's code

Replaces the check that the chunk's map names the source file with
positions: a child element in the chunk and an element outside the
boundary in the parent map back to their original line and column
(gap M1 for Hydrate chunks).

Subject: [PATCH 0198/1425] test(start-plugin-core): dev edits of middleware
 and isomorphic fns, and full-bundle dev

Vite dev (unbundled): editing a middleware's .server() never reaches the
client and SSR runs the new one (DV31); editing an isomorphic fn runs the
new branch in each environment, the client never getting the server one
(DV32).

Vite full-bundle dev (bundledDev, new harness option): the client bundle
has client code and no handler while SSR runs it by id; a server fn
module calling a dependency at the top level bundles (#8407); SSR runs an
edited handler directly and by id (#7535); a factory edit drops the
handler from the client bundle without errors (#8062). All pass on main,
so they are regression tests.

Source: oracle-gaps H4 (DV29, DV31, DV32).

Subject: [PATCH 0200/1425] test(react-start-rsc): stop asserting bug C9 as
 spec; cover the Rsbuild wiring

- the Rsbuild provider-only test kept only its provider half; the caller
  half asserted bug C9 (no CSS for a render call in a helper module) and
  is now a .fails goal with React Start's Rsbuild options (ssr env)
- streams may carry the CSS before or after the node (no order pinned)
- dropped a duplicate of the import-forms table and a redundant null check
- new: an Rsbuild dev server with React Start's Rsbuild RSC options: the
  client environment never loads CSS, the provider module in the ssr
  environment does, also after an edit (gaps C7/C14, M7)

Subject: [PATCH 0201/1425] test(start-plugin-core): server fns from
 node_modules libraries in real builds

Passing, both bundlers: a library exporting a top-level server fn gives
the client an RPC without the handler, and the SSR build runs it, called
directly and by that id through the resolver.

Pin, both bundlers (red: marker eager in the client bundle): a library
function that creates a server fn for its users
(createLoggedServerFn(handler)) leaves the user's handler and its imports
in the client bundle, silently. Fix-agnostic: the handler is not in the
client bundle (and SSR runs it), or the build fails with a createServerFn
error (D13).

Source: lost-cases-campaign item 13 (a) and (b).

Subject: [PATCH 0203/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Start builds are
 deterministic across directories and compile orders

With Start's Vite and Rsbuild plugins: the same app (server fns, a split
route, a lazy module) built in two directories with its files written in
the opposite order gives byte-identical client and SSR chunks and the
same server fn ids; with a generateFunctionId that collides and the SSR
build compiling the modules in the opposite order, each client id runs
its own handler through the SSR resolver. Both pass on main.

Source: oracle-gaps H3 (no two-roots / build-twice / collision-order
comparison at build level).

Subject: [PATCH 0204/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Start compiler warnings
 reach the user through the bundler

buildStart() takes the framework's compilerTransforms (as
@tanstack/react-start passes React's RSC CSS transform). With a transform
that warns about one call: on Vite the warning is a warning of the SSR
build only, naming the module, once.

Pin (Rsbuild): the compiler host warns through the transform context's
emitWarning, which Rsbuild's api.transform context does not have, so
every Start compiler warning is dropped (red: nothing reported in any
channel). Fix-agnostic: bundler warnings or the console.

Subject: [PATCH 0205/1425] test(start-plugin-core): documented Start options
 have their effect in real builds

With Start's Vite and Rsbuild plugins:
- serverFns.base and router.basepath: the client calls <base><id> (a
  stand-in client RPC building the URL like start-client-core's) and the
  SSR build routes the same base.
- serverFns.generateFunctionId returning undefined: the default id, which
  the SSR resolver runs.
- server.build.staticNodeEnv: the server build has the build-time
  NODE_ENV by default, and reads it at runtime with false.
- router.codeSplittingOptions reaches the code splitter: by default the
  loader stays with the route and the component is lazy; a defaultBehavior
  grouping both puts them in one lazy chunk.

Pin (Rsbuild): staticNodeEnv: false has no effect (red: 'production'
instead of the runtime 'staging'); only the Vite plugin reads the option,
the docs promise it for both.

Subject: [PATCH 0206/1425] test(start-plugin-core): stand-in server fns carry
 their extracted fn's id

The real runtime (start-client-core createServerFn) copies the extracted
fn's properties (url, serverFnMeta) onto the server fn, and
createServerRpc gives the provider's extracted fn its id. The stand-in now
does the same (functionId), so a compiler that keeps an SSR caller's
handler in place, passing an extracted fn with an id like the provider
does (allowed by user ruling P2), gets a server fn with an id there too.
Only adds properties; every test passes as before.

Subject: [PATCH 0209/1425] test(start-plugin-core): import protection's
 default rules and options in real builds

Builds real Start apps (Vite and Rsbuild) with Start's default import
protection: a client import of a *.server.* file, of
@tanstack/react-start/server or of a server-only-marked module fails the
build naming the importer; enabled: false checks nothing; mock mode keeps
the real code out of the client. New pins: a Vite mock-mode build ships the
real code of a server-only-marked module; onViolation returning false does
not allow the import (the client still gets a mock); on Vite,
ignoreImporters does not exempt importers of a marked module.

build-options.test.ts exercises behavior { dev, build }, include/exclude,
ignoreImporters, client.specifiers (additive) and server.specifiers, and
excludeFiles (replaces the node_modules default) by their build outcome.

Deleted the Rsbuild "registerImportProtection marker scope" tests, which
ran on a hand-built fake of the Rspack compilation; covered by
build.test.ts "server-only marker" rows on both bundlers:
- skips marker violations imported only by an ignored importer ->
  "imported only by an ignored importer does not fail the build"
- reports a marker shared with a non-ignored importer -> "imported by an
  ignored importer and another importer fails the build"
- reports a marker imported by a resource-query module -> "imported by a
  split route component fails the build"
- skips marker violations from an errored importer module -> "imported by
  a module that fails to compile: the build reports the compile error only"
- reports a marker violation when the marked module is an entry ->
  "marking the client entry fails the build"

Subject: [PATCH 0210/1425] test(start-plugin-core): read the reported
 violation location from real apps

reported-location.test.ts reads the importer location import protection
reports (Importer: file:line:column) from a Vite dev server's warnings and
from the errors of an Rsbuild dev server and of Vite and Rsbuild builds, so
both adapters' lookup orders (Vite: compiled code first; Rsbuild: original
source first) are covered.

Moved the analysis.usage `.fails` pins on the internal
findPostCompileUsagePos to these rows, asserting the reported location:
- "ignores a member property named like the import" -> "a use after a
  member property named like the import" (red on all four)
- "ignores type positions" -> "a use after a type position" (red on
  Rsbuild dev and build; Vite erases types before its lookup, and a
  type-only use leaves no import to report)
- "finds $name usage" (JSX element, JSX member element) -> "a JSX element"
  (red on Rsbuild dev and build, which report compiled-code coordinates)

Subject: [PATCH 0211/1425] test(start-plugin-core): import protection on a
 Vite dev server, including edits

Passing rows: a denied client import is mocked and the dev server logs a
warning naming the importer at the use (warning channel); an edit adding a
denied import to the importer is mocked and logged without a restart;
behavior 'error' / { dev: 'error' } fails the load naming the importer;
{ build: 'error' } keeps the dev default (mock); log 'once' does not log
again after an edit, 'always' does.

New pins: one import of a denied file is logged twice in dev (log 'once');
a server-only-marked module whose importer the client loads first is
served for real; an edit adding a server-only marker to a loaded module
keeps the real module in the client (DV37, adding direction).

Subject: [PATCH 0212/1425] test(start-plugin-core): make the #8101 pin assert
 the outcome, with a control

The pin returned early (passed) on any build failure other than the
import-protection error, so once the bug is fixed and `.fails` removed, an
unrelated failure would pass silently. It now asserts the outcome directly
(the build succeeds without the module's code), and a new control builds
the same files with import protection on in mock mode, proving the harness
builds them.

The bug comment now names the Vite root cause found with a scratch change:
the mock that replaces the module is never tree-shaken (its exports read
members of the mock); with side-effect-free exports the Vite pin passes.
New pin for the same root cause in mock mode: an unused denied module
leaves a mock in the client bundle and a warning (the behaviour the
virtualModules purity-annotation text checks stood for).

Subject: [PATCH 0213/1425] test(start-plugin-core): mock modules by behaviour,
 not their printed text

virtualModules.test.ts kept "supports primitive conversion for called
mocks" and "... for named export calls" (the latter now evaluates the build
mock with nothing to link to: it imports nothing), and asserts the
dev-vs-build distinction by evaluation: the dev mock of a client violation
reports each use through console.error / console.warn (mockAccess), naming
the import, the importer and the trace; with mockAccess off or in a server
environment it reports nothing. The purity-annotation text check of the
silent mock is now: it links on its own, and evaluating and using it
changes no globals and logs nothing (the build-level effect is pinned in
known-bugs.test.ts).

Deleted printed-text tests, covered by analysis.exports.test.ts
"$kind exposes \"$name\"" (:27) and "%s exposes several names at once"
(:36), which evaluate each kind of mock (self-contained, mock edge, dev
self-denial) for valid, string-keyed and `default` names:
- loadMockEdgeModule: generates named exports from payload, handles empty
  exports array, handles string-keyed export names; handles malformed
  base64 and falls back to MOCK_MODULE_ID when runtimeId missing (ids the
  plugin never generates)
- makeMockEdgeModuleId: encodes exports into module ID payload, handles
  empty exports (payload encoding)
- generateSelfContainedMockModule: generates module with named exports,
  handles empty exports, filters out default export, handles string-keyed
  export names; is self-contained -> "supports primitive conversion for
  named export calls" (standalone evaluation)
- generateDevSelfDenialModule: generates module with named exports and
  mock-runtime import, handles empty exports, filters out default export;
  imports mock-runtime -> "the dev mock of a denied file" rows
- loadMockRuntimeModule (error mode, warn mode, malformed payload) and
  mockRuntimeModuleIdFromViolation (mode off, non-client env, client error
  mode, relative trace paths, line numbers in trace) -> "the dev mock of a
  denied file" rows
- loadMarkerModule returns empty module -> build.test.ts "the server build
  may import a server-only-marked module" (evaluates the marker import)
- loadSilentMockModule returns mock code -> "links on its own, and
  evaluating and using it has no side effects"

rewrite.test.ts: the four `toBeUndefined()` "no rewrite" tests (type-only
import, no denied imports, type-only export, type-only export *) now
evaluate the module after the rewrite step and assert it evaluates
unchanged: same values, neither the denied module nor a mock loaded.

Subject: [PATCH 0215/1425] test(start-plugin-core): SSR callers asserted by
 behaviour, provider content no longer pinned

User ruling P2: only the client must be free of server-fn handler code; the
SSR caller may keep the handler in place or call it through the provider.
The SSR side of the server-fn suites now asserts behaviour instead of the
absence of the handler body or of handler-only imports:

- regression-helpers: the server runtime stub calls a server fn given a
  function alone (an SSR RPC by id, or a handler kept in place) and runs a
  handler after its middleware `.server()` and its validator;
  createServerGraph serves `createSsrRpc(id)` like the server-fn resolver
  (reported server fns -> provider module export) and links project
  modules (`files`); callServerFnThroughCallers checks the client RPC id,
  the provider handler of that id, and that calling the server fn from the
  SSR caller returns the handler's result; expectOutputsFreeOfHandler only
  requires the client to be free of the handler; compileAll takes an id.
- SSR-side loosening: handler-scope callHandler and the .ts row,
  caller-dead-code mixed imports / Report / cycles / repeated elimination /
  nested vars, exports-and-directives export forms and import attributes,
  factories env-specific functions (SSR keeps no client-only import),
  import-forms createServerFn, declaration-sites nested goal pin, the
  createServerOnlyFn-handler pin, dedupe of custom ids, harness controls.

Provider content no longer pinned (rubric-start tier 1, blocks the SF17
fix): the provider rows of preserves-user-code (empty destructuring
initializers, typeof type query) call the handler by id in the server
graph and count initializer runs; caller-dead-code drops the provider
import lists (:24, :390, :417) and provider text checks (:353, :640,
:661) for handler results, recorded validator/middleware runs and two
calls on one instance; factories :525 drops the exact provider import
list (keeps: no client-only import).

Subject: [PATCH 0216/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Start compiler unit tests
 assert outcomes, not printed code

rubric-start tier 2 (items 9, 10, 12-22; item 11 is the lead's):

- compiler.test.ts: provider route exports (:490) run the handler without
  evaluating browser-only code; parenthesized namespace server fn (:1012)
  is an RPC by the reported id; #6643 (:566, :590) calls the provider /
  evaluates the client with a stubbed window; same kind twice (:153),
  deeper re-export chain (:782), parenthesized chains (:993) and namespace
  builtins (:1038) evaluate through createStartCompiler/compileFor instead
  of hand-built configurations; shadowed external transform (:261) and
  unrelated SSR middleware (:964) evaluate `result ?? code` instead of the
  null-return protocol; circular re-export chains (:828) only need to
  settle. Dead `createCompilerWithVirtualModules` and `createFullCompiler`
  removed.
- createServerFn.test.ts: line-ending diagnostics (:78) via compileFor;
  query-bearing virtual ids (:160) and the start-client-core root binding
  (:255) check the client RPC by the reported id (and the provider by id).
- createMiddleware.test.ts: start-client-core CSRF middleware (:48) and the
  namespace import (:106, now createStartCompiler) evaluate the client.
- factories: untouched modules (:543) evaluate client/SSR (no provider:
  never requested without server fns); missing implementations (:575) get
  the client rows; project-module factories (:609) and export * chains
  (:720) call the server fn through the callers and evaluate serverOnly;
  dev invalidation (:819) evaluates both compiles.
- declaration-sites .ts in a # directory (:228) calls the server fn through
  the callers; the @jsxImportSource count (jsx:121) is dropped.
- known-bugs: capturing placement pin (:722) requires the callers to reject
  (provider unreachable once they do); CommonJS pin (:1309) asserts
  compile + same evaluation instead of `toBe(code)`. Both re-verified red
  for the original reason (no rejection; strict-mode parse errors).

Deleted, with covering tests:
- createServerFn.test.ts "should compile server functions wrapped in
  TypeScript as expressions" / "... satisfies expressions": covered by
  start-compiler-import-forms.test.ts "{react,solid,vue} > createServerFn >
  through a call result wrapped in as / satisfies" (client keeps no server
  import, RPC, provider runs the handler).
- envOnly/envOnly.test.ts "should error if implementation not provided":
  covered by start-compiler-factories.test.ts "a missing implementation is
  rejected where it runs: export const none = createClientOnlyFn()" (new
  client row) and "... createServerOnlyFn()".
- createIsomorphicFn.test.ts "should error if implementation not
  provided": covered by the same table's rows "createIsomorphicFn()
  .client()" (new client row) and "createIsomorphicFn().server()
  .client(() => 1)".

Helpers: evaluateModule links project modules (`files`).

Subject: [PATCH 0217/1425] test(start-plugin-core): wrapped middleware chain
 ending in .client() before .server()

Adds the fourth shape of the wrapped middleware matrix (lost-cases-campaign
W-2, fuzz M4 link:2): `(createMiddleware({ type: 'function' })
.middleware([]).validator(v).client(c) <wrapper>).server(s)`, crossed with
the 8 wrappers (parentheses included). The client keeps
[middleware, client], SSR the full chain. Passes on main; it crashed the
Yuku migration.

Subject: [PATCH 0218/1425] test(start-plugin-core): server fn ids are
 deterministic across roots and path styles

oracle-gaps H3 at compiler-unit level, through the hosts' shared
createStartCompiler factory and a registry shared like the Vite and Rsbuild
plugins share it:

- the same module under `/a/app`, `/x/y/app`, `C:\app` with backslash ids
  (Rsbuild) and `C:/app` with slash ids (Vite) gets the same client RPC id,
  its provider handler answers to it, and calling it by the reported id runs
  the handler;
- a custom generateFunctionId gets the root-relative filename with `/`
  separators under every layout (the generated function name is not
  asserted);
- a generateFunctionId returning undefined falls back to a working id;
- two server fns given the same custom id, compiled client A,B then server
  B,A, each keep the id the client gave them (provider handler and SSR
  caller of each module run that module's handler).

All pass on main.

Subject: [PATCH 0219/1425] test(start-plugin-core): env-specific functions
 compile idempotently

oracle-gaps M4 at compiler-unit level: compiling the client and SSR output
of a module with a middleware, an isomorphic fn, server-only and
client-only fns and a <ClientOnly> boundary again gives a valid module that
evaluates the same (checked against literal expectations, not printed
code). Passes on main.

Server fns are not idempotent on main (recompiling any output of a server
fn module throws "Duplicate declaration" / cannot load server-rpc); no path
from real user code to the compiler seeing its own output was found, so
that case is reported, not pinned.

Subject: [PATCH 0220/1425] test(start-plugin-core): mark the RSC D6 pin as
 compiler-level, with the build pin as oracle

rubric-start item 7: the pin builds the resolver itself with the
client-reference check on, so it only flips for a fix in what the compiler
reports. No build harness has an RSC provider environment yet; the
SSR-provider build pin is the host-level oracle.

Subject: [PATCH 0221/1425] test(router-plugin): build Solid and Vue apps for
 real with each bundler

The router build harness gets a framework option (Solid: vite-plugin-solid
or babel-preset-solid with the solid condition; Vue: the vue automatic JSX
runtime). The shared build harness gains additive jsxImportSource,
sourceRules and conditions options. New builds per bundler (Vite, Rspack,
webpack), framework (Solid, Vue) and environment check that the split
component loads lazily and renders, shared module state is initialised
once, and no other framework ends up in the bundle.

Subject: [PATCH 0222/1425] test(router-plugin): production client bundles
 carry no dev-only code

Per bundler (Vite, Rspack, webpack) and framework (React, Solid, Vue), a
production client build with NODE_ENV unset and the default addHmr has none
of the HMR and React Refresh names the dev server's output of the same
route contains, and no absolute path of the project. Without code
splitting, the NODE_ENV-at-creation bug is pinned for Rspack/webpack (all
frameworks) and, through Vite's JavaScript API, for React on Vite (the
refresh anchor export stays).

Subject: [PATCH 0223/1425] test(router-plugin): route generator cases on an
 Rsbuild dev server

Port the Vite dev-server generator cases (create, wrong path, rename,
move into folder/index, delete, unchanged edit) to a real Rsbuild dev
server running the Rspack entry, asserting compile errors, route files,
the route tree and the emitted chunks. Add DV4 recovery cases and pin
the Rspack generator missing edits of created route files it left out
of the route tree.

Subject: [PATCH 0224/1425] test(router-plugin): created routes in Vite dev
 (generator recovery, HMR)

DV4 on Vite: a route file the generator cannot handle is reported and
the route comes back once fixed (control of the Rsbuild pins). DV17: an
edit of a route created while the server runs, once a page loaded it,
is a hot update with @vitejs/plugin-react.

Subject: [PATCH 0225/1425] test(router-generator): add a routesOf helper that
 evaluates generated route trees

Evaluates a generated route tree with stub route modules and returns its
route ids and the route files they come from; fails on imports that do not
resolve to a file, like a bundler.

Subject: [PATCH 0226/1425] test(router-generator): evaluate route files with
 JSX in routeIdOf

Links compiled JSX to a stub JSX runtime, so the route id of route files
with components can be read by evaluation.

Subject: [PATCH 0227/1425] test(router-generator): cover route file fixes and
 scaffolding in full generator runs

Route files whose id is fixed keep every other byte (CRLF, BOM, quotes,
semicolons, solid and vue targets, .js and .jsx files, lazy constructor
renames, added constructor imports), empty route files are scaffolded,
and non-ASCII and hashbang route files generate. Pins: an added import goes
before a hashbang or BOM, and an empty .ts route file breaks generation
(#8480).

Subject: [PATCH 0229/1425] test(router-plugin): exercise plugin options and
 entry points in real builds

enableRouteGeneration false leaves the user's tree and route files alone
(and the silent loss of code splitting is pinned, fix-agnostic: split or
tell the user); autoCodeSplitting false/undefined split nothing;
plugin.vite.environmentName limits splitting to that environment;
repeated options in defaultBehavior or a route's codeSplitGroupings are
refused naming the option; the Rspack/webpack entries wire route HMR
through the bundler's hot API even with plugin.hmr.style 'vite'; the
separate generator/code-splitter entries of each bundler and the deprecated
TanStackRouterVite behave like the combined plugin. The router build
harness can now take other router entry points and several plugins for
webpack/Rspack.

Subject: [PATCH 0230/1425] test(router-plugin): code splitting does not depend
 on roots, path spelling or build order

The same route compiles to the same modules (route file id aside) and
behaves the same under other project roots and with Windows module ids in
Vite's and webpack/Rspack's spelling (Node's file URL helpers behave as on
Windows for drive-letter paths). Building the same app twice, in two
directories with files written in another order, emits identical files on
Vite, Rspack and webpack. The compile helpers accept a raw moduleId.

Subject: [PATCH 0231/1425] test(router-plugin): the React Compiler compiles
 split components

A Vite client build with @vitejs/plugin-react and the React Compiler preset
after the router plugin compiles the split component with the compiler
(control: not without it), keeps it lazy and renders it.

Subject: [PATCH 0232/1425] test(router-plugin): the code splitter applied to
 its own output

With the plugin registered twice (each instance transforming every module
in turn), a production compile gives the route a single instance gives:
same lazy options and modules, same rendering, module state created once.
In dev, the second instance's HMR code collides with the first
("Duplicate declaration hot", reproduced on a Vite dev server with
tanstackRouter registered twice): pinned, fix-agnostic (same route or an
error saying the plugin is registered twice). The compile helpers take an
instances option.

Subject: [PATCH 0233/1425] test(router-plugin): hashbang route files and
 non-ASCII route file names

A route file starting with a hashbang splits into valid modules that
behave like the source; a route file named with non-ASCII characters is
generated, split and rendered on Vite, Rspack and webpack. The module
linker keeps a module's hashbang first when it adds its prologue.

Subject: [PATCH 0237/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Hydrate pins require
 rendering through the lazy chunks

A client that never splits no longer satisfies the pins, except where
leaving the children in place is accepted (runtime children, plain text),
which the comments now say. The string attributes test renders through the
page instead of rendering the chunk alone.

Subject: [PATCH 0238/1425] test(router-plugin,start-plugin-core): map thrown
 errors through build source maps

originalFrameOf (compiler-test-utils) maps the first stack frame in a chunk
through the chunk's emitted source map; buildStart gets a sourcemap option.
A throw in a split route component, a server fn handler (SSR) and Hydrate
children map to their line in the user's file. Split route components on
Rspack, webpack and Rsbuild are pinned: unplugin's transform loaders drop
the code splitter's source map when no earlier loader passed one in.

Subject: [PATCH 0240/1425] test: apply the 2026-10-16 rulings on Rsbuild
 pruning, recompiling Start output and enableRouteGeneration

- Rsbuild keeping server-only routes in the client route tree is a parity
  bug (.fails), no longer a skipped row.
- Compiling Start output a second time is unsupported: its test is deleted.
- enableRouteGeneration is experimental: the pin on code splitting with
  generation off is deleted; the passing test that it leaves the user's
  files untouched stays.

Subject: [PATCH 0241/1425] test(router-generator): Vue piece files, default
 ignore prefix, target packages, scaffolds

Round-3 mutation gaps (ranked 25-27, 29; medium generator tiers):
- route-pieces.test.ts: Vue SFC piece files of routes and of the root route
  become lazy components of their default export, left untouched; a child
  route under a route with pieces stays in the tree; disableTypes variant;
  empty piece files stay empty and unused; an empty `_auth.tsx` is
  scaffolded. Pin: root-only Vue pieces crash (lazyRouteComponent is not
  defined), verified red for that reason.
- generator-options.test.ts: default `-` routeFileIgnorePrefix; the Solid/Vue
  tree imports only its own router package; customScaffolding from
  tsr.config.json (route and lazy templates); valid token combinations;
  same flagless JSON regex tokens and `'_ '` prefix rejected; disableTypes
  changes only the trailing extension; nested route tree directories.
- template.test.ts: empty root/route/lazy files (and ones under `{-$locale}`)
  scaffold into routes that evaluate and render, for react/solid/vue, with
  only the target's router package and framework importable.
- Shared helpers: tests/app.ts (temporary apps, save with later mtimes);
  route-tree.ts gains routeOptionsOf (lazy options by file and export).

Mutants verified killed (rg set, applied in the worktree, then reverted):
pieces: 236-240, 397, 399, 400, 402-409, 418-422, 424, 425, 427, 428, 435,
466-476, 478-480, 491, 498-505, 507-517, 519-521, 523, 591, 592, 715, 718,
1060-1063, 1072, 1081, 1083, 2116, 2118, 2119, 2124, 686, 688, 694,
696-707, 714 (473/514 fail to load).
options: 1748, 1983, 2033, 2034, 1792, 1884, 1886, 1887, 1889, 1891, 1893,
1894, 1897, 1898, 1902, 1912, 1916-1918, 1813, 1861, 103, 104.
scaffolds: 2007, 2022, 2052-2055, 2058-2061, 2064-2071, 2074-2077,
2080-2083, 1985-1987, 1989, 1991-2000, 2036-2040, 2042-2051, 684, 685, 712,

Subject: [PATCH 0242/1425] test(router-generator): a generator kept across
 edits, concurrent saves, file owners

Round-3 mutation gaps (ranked 28 and the dev-related medium/low tiers):
- generator-dev.test.ts (new): a long-lived generator fed watcher events.
  Adding/deleting a nested route gives a fresh run's tree; a route deleted
  after a no-op edit leaves the tree; a broken edit fails the run and the fix
  is processed; a hand-edited or corrupted routeTree.gen.ts is regenerated
  on its update event; a new generator on an up-to-date app does not
  rewrite the tree; a missing root route fails naming __root.tsx; route
  files in physical() mounts and virtual routes outside the routes directory
  are watched; afterTransform receives the previous node (Start's
  server-only toggle detection); getRoutesByFileMap maps the root file to
  /__root, also after a rerun.
- concurrent-write.test.ts: a save while the generator fixes the file is
  processed before run() resolves; an in-place save on a filesystem with
  1 s timestamps is not overwritten; rewritten route files keep their mode
  and owner (EPERM warns, other chown errors fail the run and leave the
  file).

Pins (main bugs, REPORT section 6), each verified red for the stated reason:
- deleting a layout route drops its child routes in a running generator
  (tree has only __root__);
- a deleted routeTree.gen.ts is not written again on its delete event (file
  missing), and the next route change fails with ENOENT;
- editing the virtualRouteConfig file has no effect in a running generator
  (tree keeps the old route).

Mutants verified killed (rg set): 280, 337, 298, 299, 301-305, 307-310, 312,
313, 315, 316, 771, 784, 1170-1173, 756, 758, 876, 884, 918, 925, 941, 942,

45, 795-797, 799-810, 812, 814, 816, 817, 819-825, 827. Pin flips checked:
639 (layout pin), 354 (deleted tree pin).

Subject: [PATCH 0243/1425] test(router-generator): route URLs, underscores,
 groups, tokens, param names

Round-3 mutation gaps (medium/low generator tiers), read from the evaluated
route tree through a new `urlsOf` helper (route-tree.ts: the URL each route
matches, joining `path` options like router-core):
- route-paths.test.ts (new): escaped `[_]` segments of flat files; literal
  `_` after the first segment of virtual routes and physical() mounts;
  escaped underscores in a physical mount under a virtual `/_foo` route;
  virtual layouts and index under it; a pathless layout under `[_]api`;
  `(group)` layouts at the root and nested add no segment; a childless
  pathless layout does not crash; an unformatted tree with grandchildren;
  `@B` next to `B`; `g`/`y` token flags behave like unflagged ones; only
  invalid brace params warn; FileRoutesByTo picks the navigable route.

Pin (main bug, REPORT section 6 #14), verified red for the stated reason
("Identifier ... has already been declared" when the tree is parsed):
route variable-name collisions (about-us/aboutUs, _layout/layout, $id/id).

Mutants verified killed (rg set): 16, 20, 2469, 2470, 2479, 2484, 2487,
2488, 2499, 72, 1009, 3039, 2660, 3166, 3181, 3182, 3184, 3186, 3188, 3189,
3191, 2896, 2911, 2913, 2916, 2517, 2519.

Subject: [PATCH 0244/1425] test(router-generator): route file upkeep edge
 cases in the transform

Round-3 mutation gaps (gen-transform.md items 1-11):
- transform.test.ts: the constructor import is fixed when the route id is
  already right (no import, stale other constructor, only the other one,
  lazy route called as createFileRoute); a module exporting only
  `export { helper }` is not a route; `export let Route` and
  `export const Route = postsRoute` are left as they are; an interpolated
  template-literal id is an error; type imports stay type-only; a prepended
  import keeps the file's line ending and its own line (LF, CRLF, single
  line); removing a stale import leaves clean, valid code (trailing
  whitespace, two imports on one line); semicolons kept; an unrelated or
  multi-line import declaration stays byte for byte; a stale import next to
  an aliased constructor import.
- known-bugs.test.ts: the "no Route export" control also covers
  `export { helper }` at the generator level.

Mutants verified killed (rg set): 1261, 1271, 1469, 1549, 1551, 1566,
1303, 1304, 1306, 1309, 1351, 1355, 1370, 1371, 1373, 1433, 1435, 1451,
1666, 1668, 1669, 1685-1689, 1695, 1697, 1700, 1702, 1706, 1708, 1709,
1711, 1712, 1714, 1716, 1719, 1720, 1729, 1736, 1440, 1452, 1682, 1531,
1559, 1564, 1541, 1542, 1625, 1627, 1632, 1634, 1639, 1641, 1643, 1476,
1477, 1486, 1487, 1631, 1633, 1388. 1715 hangs (synchronous loop) on the
trailing-whitespace case: detected as a timeout, not a test failure.

Subject: [PATCH 0248/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover Hydrate captures
 through property values, member names and globals

- Item 2: the children read locals through a non-shorthand property value
  and a computed member.
- Item 9: member names and object keys are no reads of a local declared
  after the boundary.
- Item 13: a boundary spreading a global splits children rendering a
  global component.

Subject: [PATCH 0249/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover Hydrate fallback
 stripping, boundary-prop hooks and chunk invalidation

- Item 4: the server keeps the bindings the children read when stripping
  the fallback (sibling declarator, module-level destructuring).
- Item 6: the server module does not import a client-only module the
  fallback reaches through components, classes, spreads or a namespace.
- Item 8: a hook call in the boundary's own props runs in the parent
  render and the children still split.
- Items 10, 11: forms rows for quoted spread keys and split={false} with a
  single-use spread.
- Item 12: after the source module is invalidated, a chunk loaded the way
  the Vite host loads it renders the edited children.

 whitespace mismatch and split the member-tag pin

- P1 (REPORT 6 #20): spaces around a single child on one line render on
  the server but are dropped by the client chunk (hydration mismatch).
  Pin: both environments render the JSX text.
- P2: the member-expression tag pin is split into <ui.Home /> and
  <Model.Item /> rows.

Pins flipped by: spc:6410, spc:6414, spc:6418, spc:6419 (P1); spc:6372
(capitalized row only)

Subject: [PATCH 0252/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover mock export names
 and split the ns pin

ip-analysis P5-P7: a denied file exporting an enum still mocks its other
exports; mock modules expose non-identifier names ('~lead', 'a~b', 'a:b',
'|x', 'a^b'); an array-rest export of a denied file is mocked.

ip-analysis pin P3: split the combined "namespace re-export, enum and
namespace" pin so `export * as ns from` in a denied file is pinned on its
own (bug: the self-contained/dev mock of the file has no `ns`;
analysis.ts:270-275 only collects ExportSpecifier names). The enum and
namespace part stays a separate pin.

Subject: [PATCH 0253/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin `export * as ns from`
 a denied module

ip-location P7 (REPORT 6 #21): `rewriteDeniedImports` drops
`export * as ns from '<denied>'` without exporting a mock as `ns`
(rewrite.ts:140-195 only rewrites ExportSpecifiers), so an importer of
`ns` gets a missing export / undefined in a mock-mode build. Pinned
`.fails` (fix-agnostic: `ns` defined, denied module not loaded), plus a
passing companion: the module evaluates without loading the denied module.

Kills: spc:1262 (companion)

Subject: [PATCH 0256/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pair every server fn of a
 module with its own id

sc-core P1 (High): a module with several server fns, compiled for the
client then the provider through the hosts' shared registry, calls each
handler by the id its client RPC carries, with default ids and with one
custom id for all (deduplicated ids stay distinct).
sc-core P5: a unique custom generateFunctionId id is the id clients call.

Subject: [PATCH 0257/1425] test(start-plugin-core): keep merged server fns
 client-callable, locate deep diagnostics

sc-handlers 1 (High): a server fn the client and a server caller both
report, merged in either order the way the hosts merge reports, stays
callable from the client through the resolver's client-origin check.
spc:3769 (merge drops the existing entry) survives: every caller report
is client-referenced today (D6), so overwriting changes nothing; the
test kills it once server callers report server-only fns (D6 fix).
sc-handlers 6: a diagnostic on line 12 names that line and does not
quote the whole module.

sc-core P3: a top-level server fn wrapped in two calls never ships its
handler to the client, with createServerFn alone or next to another
factory (a standalone test: as a `placements` row it would also feed the
createServerFn-alone placement pins, which it passes); a createServerOnlyFn
wrapped in two calls runs only on the server.
sc-core P12: in dev, a server fn imported through `export *` of the Start

Subject: [PATCH 0260/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover transforms, provider
 exports and cycles in the compiler

sc-core P6: IIFEs and curried calls compile in a module calling a
configured external transform.
sc-core P7: unrelated virtual runtime imports next to a server fn (top
level) or a server-only fn (nested) are left alone and the module still
compiles, with a host that cannot load them.
sc-core P8: a provider with external transforms configured compiles
aliased env-only calls of a server fn module.
sc-core P11: compiling a self-referencing binding settles (bounded race).
Under 3029/3030/3032 the recursion never yields to the event loop, so
the race cannot fire: the worker runs out of memory (~35 s) and the file
fails; killed, but not within the race.
sc-handlers 3: the provider drops export lists (`export { Page }`,
`export { Page as component }`) and named re-exports of a browser-only
module (the latter a separate test: the shared rows' unused top-level
`window` read is user code the provider rightly keeps).
sc-handlers 5: an external transform reaches a top-level call imported
through a project re-export next to a built-in factory (the narrow shape
main supports; the others are pinned).

Kills: spc:2413, spc:2737, spc:2389, spc:2390, spc:2392, spc:2393,
spc:2327, spc:2271, spc:3029, spc:3030, spc:3032 (worker OOM),
spc:3705, spc:3707, spc:3417, spc:3418, spc:3419, spc:3421

sc-handlers 5: compile the narrow re-export shape with the compiler the
hosts create (`createStartCompiler` of host.ts), which forwards
`compilerTransforms` to the lookup configurations, so dropping them there
fails the test too (a compile-level stand-in for the Vite build case).

Subject: [PATCH 0262/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover default-exported
 expressions and triple var redeclarations

sc-handlers 2: an object-literal (or other expression) default export
next to a server fn keeps every output a valid module, the client its
value and the provider its handler.
sc-handlers 7: three redeclared `var` server fns, named with `_`, `$` and
non-ASCII characters too, get distinct ids, each served by the provider.
spc:3677 (and 3676/3678 by analysis) turns the fresh-name loop into a
synchronous infinite loop: the run hangs (no in-process bound can fire),
so it is not counted as killed.

Kills: spc:3690, spc:3672

Subject: [PATCH 0264/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin browser-only provider
 exports and re-exported transform targets

sc-core P14: two rows on the pin "client: a createServerOnlyFn called
through $name is compiled": a local alias in a function-local const and
in a top-level block (both flip under the mutants, which fix main).
Pins (REPORT section 6), each verified red for the right reason:
- #15: the provider keeps `export * from './browser'` (the browser-only
  module is evaluated by a server fn call) and `export default Page` with
  the browser-only state it reads (`window is not defined`).
- #17: an external transform does not reach a call imported through a
  project re-export when the call is nested, or when the module has no
  built-in factory (the transform's argument is missing).

Kills: spc:2368, spc:2372 (pin rows flip)

Subject: [PATCH 0266/1425] test(start-plugin-core): run the real Rsbuild
 metadata loader in tests

Harness gap H3: tests/rsbuild-test-loaders.ts ran a hand-written copy of
src/rsbuild/start-compiler-metadata-loader.ts; the app loader now
delegates to the TypeScript source through a global, like the
import-protection test loader.

Kills: spc:8047, 8049, 8050 (existing Rsbuild builds of
start-build-options.test.ts). spc:8048 survives (the compiler host always
sets the build-info callback before the loader runs).

 builder comes from another module

sc-hosts 1: the shared env-separation build gets a server fn built with
a builder imported from src/base.ts (its handler code stays out of the
client and runs in SSR), and every client RPC id runs through the SSR
server fn resolver (origin client), on Vite and Rsbuild.

Kills: spc:6933.

tanstack-start-manifest:v; the manifest preloads each page's component
chunk and links the stylesheet its component imports.

page under it, the root stays a root, and (Vite) the server-only subtree

Subject: [PATCH 0272/1425] test(start-plugin-core): prerender only the static
 pages of an app

start-router E: the prerendered-pages control runs Start's prerender
plugin on a whole app (index, nested, layout, group, lazy-only, dynamic,
server-only and cast routes) and gets exactly the static pages.

New pin (known bug class): a page whose options are wrapped in a cast
(as never, as any, satisfies) is not prerendered; the route generator
records no option keys for them. Verified red: the page is missing from
the prerendered paths.

Kills: spc:3882, 3887.

Subject: [PATCH 0273/1425] test(start-plugin-core): type-check the Register
 types of the generated route tree

start-router F: Vite and Rsbuild builds with and without src/start.ts;
the SSR route tree keeps the user's router.routeTreeFileFooter, and
ts.createProgram on routeTree.gen.ts plus a check file proves the
Register interface carries ssr, the app's router and (with src/start.ts
only) the app's Start config, with @ts-expect-error negatives.

Subject: [PATCH 0277/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Vite dev with a server fn
 provider environment other than SSR

sc-hosts 5: dev-server.ts takes the compiler's environments and
providerEnvName (optional, defaults unchanged; extra environments are
created as server environments). With an rsc provider, SSR resolves the
client's id through its configured getServerFnById module, and rsc runs
the handler.

Kills: spc:5677, 5679, 5681, 5932, 5934, 5936, 5937, 5938, 5939, 5941,
5942. Survive: spc:5935, 5940 (every environment the resolver applies
to is in the list, so the lookup always finds one).

Subject: [PATCH 0278/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Vite dev client route tree
 follows page/server-only edits

Harness gap H1: dev-server.ts can mount Start's whole Vite plugin
(tanStackStartVite with the options @tanstack/react-start passes) through
the new opt-in start option, with stand-in entries, router and root route;
existing callers are unchanged. Control: the new test fails with the old
harness (no route tree is generated).

start-router D: new start-router-dev-server.test.ts edits a route from
server-only to page, to page without handlers, back to server-only; the
client route tree follows, page/server-only switches send a full reload,
and a handler edit of a server-only route sends nothing to the client.

Subject: [PATCH 0279/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild builds restored
 from the persistent cache resolve server fns

sc-hosts 9: buildStart gets two additive options, builds (rebuild the
same app directory with a new plugin instance, describe the last build)
and rsbuildConfig (merged over the harness's). A second Rsbuild build
with performance.buildCache restores the modules from the cache, and
each client RPC id still runs its handler through the SSR resolver.

Kills: spc:6799, 6956, 6960, 6968. Survives: spc:6959 (restore tap at
stage +20 instead of -20, after the SSR resolver rebuild at -10): the
client environment's restore already filled the shared registry, so the
order within the SSR compiler is not observable here.

Subject: [PATCH 0280/1425] test(start-plugin-core): SSR route splitting
 follows router.codeSplittingOptions

start-router H: the router.codeSplittingOptions rows also assert the SSR
build places the loader and component like the client build, on Vite
and Rsbuild.

Kills: spc:6051, 8034, 8035.

Subject: [PATCH 0282/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover Rsbuild dev import
 protection across rebuilds

Harness gap H2: the Rsbuild dev-server harness now exposes the warnings of
each compile (compiler-test-utils, additive) and closes the dev server when
its first compile fails (e.g. times out), so a hung compile does not leak a
watcher into later tests. `runRsbuildClient()` runs the emitted client code
and returns what it logged.

Items:
- ip-rsbuild R3 (H2 control): `log: 'once'` reports a violation once across
  rebuilds, `'always'` again.
- ip-rsbuild R4: after an edit, `info.resolved` names the new target.
- ip-rsbuild R7 + ip-misc P10: each client mock (two denied files, one
  denied specifier) reports its own import at runtime.

Kills: spc:7076, 7548, 7553, 7692, 7698, 7131, 7944, 7962, 7966

Subject: [PATCH 0283/1425] test(start-plugin-core): register Start's entries
 in the Vite dev import-protection harness

Harness gap H1: `startProtectedDevServer` and the known-bugs dev config now
register Start's router entry (and `src/start.ts` when present) the way
`tanStackStart()` does, so the dev reachability check runs. Apps in
dev.test.ts are loaded from their router entry `src/entry.ts`, like a
browser loads a Start app. The provider environment can be `rsc`.

Re-running the suite with the entries registered turned two passing tests
red; investigated, a real main bug (not a harness artefact), now pinned:
- Bug (new): an edit drops the import graph edges to the edited module
  (`ImportGraph.invalidate` removes the edges where the file is the
  target), so a violation found when it is transformed again is discarded
  as unreachable: a denied import added by an edit is mocked without a
  warning, and `log: 'always'` does not log again after an edit. Pins:
  "added by an edit of the importer is logged at the use, with a trace from
  the entry", "'always' logs a violation again after an edit" (both flip
  with a scratch fix keeping incoming edges). The mocking half stays a
  passing test.

Items:
- ip-vite V2: the logging half of the "importer first" pin is a normal test.
- V3: SSR import of a client-only-marked module (already transformed, and
  through its importer) is mocked and logged.
- V4 (a) only the leak is logged, not a server fn factory's .server()
  imports; (b) a factory module calling a denied import at the top level
  is logged (the H1 control: fails without the entry).
- V7 denied specifier logged at its use; V8 dev onViolation; V9 rsc
  provider env; V12 runtime mock reports; V14 JSX locations; V15 'always'
  does not re-log on other loads.

Kills: spc:5091, 5094, 5103, 5106, 5109, 5113, 4305, 4312, 5070, 5077,

Subject: [PATCH 0284/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin dev import-protection
 bugs (factory lookup, Rsbuild module types, throwing onViolation)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pins (each verified red for the bug as a plain test):
- REPORT §6 #4 (ip-vite B3): in Vite dev with behavior "error", a server fn
  factory module calling a denied import at the top level loads silently
  (`serverFnLookupModules` keys by path without the lookup query). Red:
  the load resolves ('loaded'). Control: the same call in another module
  fails to load. The mock-mode counterpart passes (dev.test.ts V4(b)).
- #2 (ip-rsbuild R2): Rsbuild dev never checks importers of non-JS module
  types (`.mdx`-like): a denied file is mocked but not reported, a denied
  specifier's real code runs. Red: reported [] (and ranRealCode true).
  Flipped by spc:7307 and 7168 (denied-file row).
- #23: an `onViolation` that throws hangs the Rsbuild dev compile. Bounded
  wait (compileTimeout 3 s); red: "Rsbuild did not compile the app within
  3000 ms"; the harness closes the server afterwards.

Subject: [PATCH 0285/1425] test(start-plugin-core): type the new dev
 import-protection tests

`onViolation` receives `unknown` in Start's options type: cast it to
`ViolationInfo` like the neighbouring tests; type the Rsbuild config and
the rows of the module-type pin.

Subject: [PATCH 0286/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover mock-mode and marker
 outcomes of import-protection builds

Round 3 mutation gaps (both bundlers, build.test.ts):
- ip-location P1: re-exports from a denied specifier are mocked in mock
  mode; other re-exports keep their values.
- ip-vite V1: a denied .server.mts/.server.mjs file is mocked.
- ip-vite V10: mock mode with a CSS import builds and mocks.
- ip-vite V11: the mocks of a build are silent when used.
- ip-misc P2: a server import of a client-only-marked module fails the
  build; in mock mode it is mocked (Vite: new row of the existing
  markerMockTest pin, same bug).
- ip-misc P3 + ip-vite V5: the client (server) build may import a
  client-only (server-only) marked module from several modules; replaces
  the single-importer server test.
- ip-vite V16 + ip-rsbuild R11: such a clean build prints no
  import-protection output (no perf report by default).
- ip-location P4: a .server file in a dot directory is denied.

Kills: spc:1254, 1282, 1292, 5319, 5243, 5349, 7910, 7911, 7927, 7929,

Subject: [PATCH 0287/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover onViolation, log,
 excludeFiles and maxTraceDepth builds

Round 3 mutation gaps (build-options.test.ts, both bundlers unless noted):
- ip-rsbuild R1: an onViolation that returns nothing does not allow the
  import (denied file and marker rows).
- ip-rsbuild R5: the marker violation is typed marker and located at the
  marker import (line; the two bundlers differ by one column).
- ip-misc P4: in mock mode, onViolation gets info.resolved for each
  import of several denied specifiers (resolve cache hit), and the
  production mocks are silent.
- ip-rsbuild R6: log 'always' reports each violation of a build once.
- ip-misc P5: excludeFiles with several patterns (table row).
- ip-vite V6: client.excludeFiles [] with a server-only-marked dependency
  fails the Vite build (Vite row only: Rsbuild awaits a ruling).
- ip-location P5 + ip-rsbuild R10: maxTraceDepth cuts a deeper trace and
  keeps one within the limit complete.

Adds violation-report.ts, a reader of the trace and code frame of the
reports a build prints.

Subject: [PATCH 0288/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover the trace and code
 frame of build violation reports

Round 3 mutation gaps (reported-location.test.ts, Vite and Rsbuild builds):
- ip-location P2 + ip-rsbuild R9: the trace lists each import from the
  entry (only the first step tagged entry), located at its specifier.
- ip-location P3: the code frame shows the import and the use, its caret
  under the reported column, and the location under it.
- ip-location P6: the trace is the shortest import chain (diamond).
- ip-rsbuild R8: with source maps, Rsbuild locates a trace import on its
  line after compiling moved it (comment, blank line, type-only import).

Pins (#21, build part):
- ip-location B1: without a captured source map, trace steps use
  compiled-code lines (Vite: every row; Rsbuild without source maps:
  blank line and type-only import rows). Red: line 2 reported for an
  import on line 3.
- ip-location B2 (Vite): the trace stops at modules outside src. Red: the
  trace is only the importer.

Subject: [PATCH 0289/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin import-protection
 build bugs: dynamic import, non-JS and CommonJS denied files

Pins (known-bugs.test.ts, appended):
- REPORT #1 / ip-misc P1 (Rsbuild): a client dynamic import('db-lib') of a
  denied specifier builds without a report (red: the build succeeds).
  Vite row is a normal test (the build fails with one client violation).
- REPORT #3 / ip-vite B1 (both bundlers): in mock mode a denied
  .server.json ships its real content (red: hasRealCode true, read
  MARK_SECRET, warned); a denied .server.cjs fails the build (red: Vite
  PARSE_ERROR on the ESM mock, Rspack ESModulesLinkingError for the named
  import). Intended: build succeeds, client gets the mock, warning.

Subject: [PATCH 0292/1425] test(router-plugin): root route ids come from the
 route generator, not the harness

The root route HMR tests registered the root route file under '/__root' by
hand, and hotUpdate decided root-ness from that literal, so a generator that
registered the root file under another id (or none) went unnoticed by the
route HMR suites (round-3 mutation testing harness gap).

- regression-helpers: `generatedRouteId(file, files)` runs the router
  plugin's own route generator plugin (configResolved, as the Vite plugin
  does) on a temporary routes directory and returns the id it registered
  the file under; hotUpdate treats a route created by `createRootRoute` as
  the tree's root and reads the live route by the id the route tree gave it.
- regression-helpers.test.ts uses the generated id for its root route row.

Mutants verified killed through the converted root tests (route-hmr,
handle-route-update; source-aliased vitest because generator dist builds
fail type-checking under these mutants): rg:941, rg:942, rg:954.

Subject: [PATCH 0293/1425] test(router-plugin): cover code-splitter outcomes
 found missing by mutation testing

Round-3 mutation testing (FIX-PLAN R3-router: ranked items 15-18, medium and
cheap low-tier Splitting proposals). Outcome assertions only: rendered
output, loader values, init counts, identity, real-build stack frames.

- plugin-options: two code splitters scoped to the client and SSR
  environments of one dev server (Start's wiring, shared router plugin
  context) split a route whose loader and component share a binding;
  a non-function splitBehavior is refused.
- module-state: shared binding stays one instance when the component calls
  a hook with an options object; exported classes keep identity next to
  shared state; class dependency, array destructurings, JSX member object
  and partly shadowed module names reach the shared code; a local named
  like a Route-reading helper (21 forms) or component (3 forms) does not
  tie the shared binding to Route; destructured sibling of a split
  component; exported object destructuring created once; .jsx route files:
  state only split options read is created lazily, once, and the shared
  module does not pull in component-only imports.
- imports-exports: the route module keeps the other specifiers of a split
  component's import; `export default Page` row in the exported-options
  table; a default export of another binding or an exported destructuring
  does not stop splitting; exported helpers next to an exported option
  component; an exported option component is not copied into another
  option's chunk; auto-accessor fields compile.
- route-options: literal/method options grouped with a split option stay
  as written; a split loader's module loads with the loader only; a local
  function loader is split without a warning; root route id from the
  generator.
- plugin-pipeline: an edited route recompiled by the same instance works
  after a version whose loader and component shared a binding; plugin
  order errors for SWC, OXC, vite:react-refresh and vite-plugin-solid.
- build-source-maps: throws in the route module and in shared code map to
  their route-file line (Vite).

mutants through the source-aliased vitest config because their dist build

Subject: [PATCH 0294/1425] test(router-plugin): pin code-splitter main bugs
 found by mutation testing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fix-agnostic .fails pins (REPORT section 6, bugs 6-9, plus low-tier pin
rows), each verified red on main for the stated reason by a scratch run
without .fails:

- exported option component reading Route rendered by a split component
  (export function / export const): ReferenceError "NotFound is not defined".
- split option values outside the virtual compiler's allowlist (namespace
  member, local member loader, `||`, `??`, tagged template, class
  expression): "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: MemberExpression /
  LogicalExpression / TaggedTemplateExpression / ClassExpression".
- `export default function` called by the loader and a split component:
  TypeError "Duplicate declaration \"bump\"".
- `createFileRoute<'/'>('/')` is never split (code filter misses type
  arguments): component not lazy.
- a module whose path contains `tsr-split`: build fails with "The split
  value for the virtual route ... was not found".
- split loader also exported through `export { load }`: "Export 'load' is
  not defined".
- binding read by a computed-key option and a split option: created twice.
- `export @dec class` (TS 5 decorators): "Decorators must be placed
  *before* the 'export' keyword".

Controls (passing): `{...} as any`, `(createFileRoute('/') as any)(...)` and
`createFileRoute('/')(makeOptions())` routes still render.

Mutants verified: control rows kill rp:80 rp:83; pins flip (killed) under
rp:1068 rp:1069 rp:1071 rp:1073 rp:1074 rp:1076 rp:1077 rp:1079 rp:1080
rp:1081 rp:1082 rp:426 rp:427 rp:428 rp:137 rp:1636 ru:13. rp:1613 and
rp:1614 do not flip the tsr-split pin: they only change how the bug fails.

Subject: [PATCH 0295/1425] test(router-plugin): cover route HMR outcomes found
 missing by mutation testing

Round-3 mutation testing (FIX-PLAN R3-router: ranked items 22-24, medium
and low-tier Route HMR proposals).

- route-hmr: every kept split component still renders its own component
  after an update (not only `component`); unsplit routes drop a removed
  component option and render an added one (Vite, webpack); Solid/Vue
  unsplit routes render the new component; options built by a factory call
  are hot-updated; root route tests take the generator's root route id.
  New dev-server section (autoCodeSplitting off): `.ts` route files get
  route HMR, `plugin.vite.environmentName` limits it to that environment,
  `plugin.hmr.style` alone works, `tsr.config.json` in the Vite root sets
  the target, function plugin options work, and served React/Solid/Vue
  route modules map throws to their route-file line.
- known-bugs-route-hmr: controls for an inline-components React route edit
  being a hot update with @vitejs/plugin-react, a lowercase function loader
  shared with the split component, and an inline loader reading a renamed
  lowercase component. New pin (verified red: the edit sends
  `full-reload`): an edit of a React `.ts` route module with
  autoCodeSplitting off is not a hot update (same root cause as the pinned
  Vite HMR boundaries bug).
- handle-route-update: an update of a route the live router does not have
  leaves the router as is (no throw); root route test takes the generated
  root route id.
- react-refresh-route-components: a `$`-prefixed lowercase function
  component is renamed and registered.

Subject: [PATCH 0296/1425] test(router-plugin): cover the webpack and Rspack
 generator watch mode

The webpack branch of the route generator host had no coverage, and nothing
checked that closing the compiler's watcher stops the generator's own
chokidar watcher (route-tree hosts, round-3 mutation testing item G).

In `compiler.watch` mode, per bundler: a created empty route file is
scaffolded and added to the route tree; after `watching.close()`, a route
file created later is left alone. The negative check needs a fixed wait
(the generator's watcher closes asynchronously and nothing signals it);
the test waits for the compiles to settle before closing, and cleans up
only after the watcher closed. Passed on base in every run (5 runs).

Mutants verified killed (through Nx): rp:1903 rp:1905 rp:1906 rp:1912
rp:1913 rp:1914 rp:1918 rp:1920 rp:1923 rp:1925 rp:1926; rp:1919 killed in
1 of 2 runs (webpack sometimes reports the created file through its own
watcher too).

Subject: [PATCH 0297/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): child runs never outlive
 the test worker; lost build errors fail fast

Harness hygiene (mutation run r3b follow-up 1): a built entry run by the
build harness (`run()`, e.g. the server of an Rsbuild Start build) ran in a
`node --eval` child with no time limit and nothing tying it to the test
worker. When a vitest worker was killed on a timeout, a child stuck in a
loop was reparented to init and spun at 100% CPU for hours.

- New `run-node.ts` (`runNodeProgram`): runs the program with a time limit
  (default 30 s, SIGKILL, clear error) and a watchdog thread (`--import`)
  that SIGKILLs the child once its parent process is gone, which works even
  while the program's thread spins in a synchronous loop. Used by the build
  harness's `run()` and router-plugin's code-splitter runtime test.
- `withBuildEnvironment`: an error no one handles while a build runs fails
  the build (a throw in a sync Rspack `compile` hook leaves `rsbuild.build()`
  pending forever).
- Rsbuild dev harness: a compile Rspack gives up on (`compiler.hooks.failed`,
  e.g. a throw in `processAssets`) rejects the compile wait with its error at
  once instead of after `compileTimeout`.

Verified: SIGKILLing the vitest worker while an Rsbuild Start build's
server spins leaves no process (with the watchdog disabled, the child is
reparented to systemd and keeps spinning). Control tests in run-node.test.ts
and rsbuild-dev-server.test.ts.

Fail fast instead of a time limit: spc:6793 (Rsbuild builds failed after the
60 s test timeout, now at once on an assertion), spc:7471 (Rsbuild dev
compile wait of 20 s, now the real TypeError at once).

Subject: [PATCH 0298/1425] test(router-plugin): webpack/Rspack watch test
 asserts the scaffolded route instead of timing out

The watch-mode test (d9dad4804b) waited for the created route file to be
scaffolded and for the route tree to list it with a helper that throws
"timed out waiting for ..." after 15 s, so a missing scaffold only showed as
a time limit. It now polls for at most 10 s and then asserts the file
contents, so the test fails with what was read. Same assertions.

Kills (now on an AssertionError, about 10 s): rp:1912, rp:1913, rp:1918,
rp:1919, rp:1920.

Subject: [PATCH 0299/1425] test(start-plugin-core): tell dev import
 protection's log 'always' from 'once' without an edit

Regressions of mutation run r3b: the only test that told `log: 'always'`
from `'once'` became a `.fails` pin in 20c891a337 (an edit drops the import
graph edges, a main bug). The new tests reach the same violation again
without an edit: Vite reloads every module when `tsconfig.json` changes
(as when it re-optimizes dependencies), without changing any module, and
the client loads the app again. With 'once' nothing is logged again; with
'always' the violation is logged again, at its use. The edit pin stays.

`startProtectedDevServer` takes extra plugins and Vite config (additive).

Subject: [PATCH 0300/1425] test(start-plugin-core): dev import protection when
 importer edges lack transform data

Mutation run r3b: the Vite dev 'unknown'-reachability fallback
(vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts, `processPendingViolations`) lost
all coverage once the dev harness registered Start's entries (20c891a337).

Reachability: real dev reaches it. Some edge to the module then lacks
transform data: the module is served while its only importer is still being
transformed (overlapping requests: Vite's `server.warmup`, parallel
requests, a slow resolver). The new test holds the importer's resolution of
another import with a resolver plugin, serves the module, then lets the
importer finish; a probe confirmed six passes through the branch with the
router entry registered. Outcome: the module's denied imports are mocked
and logged at their uses.

Also: V7 (spc:5415), a server fn factory module (whose violations wait for
its compiled imports) calling a denied file and then a denied specifier at
the top level is logged at both uses.

Pins (NEW main bugs, each verified red for the right reason):
- a module transformed before any importer of it is known (`server.warmup`,
  or any request that comes first) has its violations discarded as
  unreachable, and its transform is cached: never logged, even once the app
  loads it (red: mocked, nothing logged).
- a denied import reached from the app's client entry (`src/client.tsx`) is
  not logged: the client entry is not a registered entry and the browser
  loads it from Start's dev client entry, a virtual module whose imports are
  not recorded (red: loaded through the dev client entry and mocked, nothing
  logged). Control: the same leak through the router entry is logged.
- with log 'always', one import of a denied file is logged three times per
  load: twice as written (resolveId and the transform-cache check both find
  it) and once as the resolved path (red: 3 reports instead of 1).

Kills: spc:4727, spc:5415
Survive (outcome-equivalent): spc:4704, 4706, 4723 (only when the warning
appears: as the module is served, or when its importer finishes; same
logs); spc:4725, 4747 (only add more copies of one 'always' report before
the importer finishes; main already logs one import three times, pinned).

Subject: [PATCH 0301/1425] test(start-plugin-core): finish the original-source
 usage lookup rows and pin wrapped createServerOnlyFn

Mutation run r3b gaps (ip-analysis, location only, low impact).

Rows of `findOriginalUsageLocation`: an immediately invoked function, a
computed `[handler]` member of a server fn builder, a private method's
callback, `.handler`/`.server` of callees whose names only contain
ServerFn/Middleware, a look-alike `.client` method on the server, loops
inside createServerOnlyFn, and a type-only import specifier.

Pin (ip-analysis P2, main bug, location only): the client compile replaces a
whole `createServerOnlyFn(...)` call whatever its argument is, but the
lookup only skips functions passed to it directly, so
`createServerOnlyFn(wrap(() => getSecret()))` is reported instead of the
real leak after it. Fix-agnostic: asserts the leak's line. Red: reports
line 3 (the wrapped use) instead of 4.

Kills: spc:503, 520, 521, 523, 529, 546, 565, 574, 877, 901, 326, 328;
pin flips: spc:798, 799
Equivalent (the cluster range was over-included): spc:527, 528 (a
non-computed member always has an Identifier or PrivateName property, and
a PrivateName has no `name`), 543, 545 (`/ServerFn$/` matches
createServerFn), 559, 561 (`/Middleware$/` matches createMiddleware),
548, 567 (the `?? ''` fallback never matches either regex).

Subject: [PATCH 0302/1425] test(start-plugin-core): a throwing onViolation
 fails the Rsbuild dev compile (the pin was a harness artefact)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The pin "an onViolation that throws ends the compile with its error"
(c079f2e351, REPORT §6 #23) said the Rsbuild dev compile never finishes and
the error is never reported. With the Rsbuild dev harness now failing its
compile wait on `compiler.hooks.failed` (835b7b72a3), the test passes on
main: Rspack fails the compile with the thrown error, and Rsbuild's dev
watcher marks the build failed and logs the error (@rsbuild/core 2.2.5
dist/626.js, `compiler.watch` callback: `logger.error(error)`). The harness
only waited for `done` and runs with `logLevel: 'silent'`, so the error
looked lost. The pin becomes a normal test; no claimed kills depended on it.

Subject: [PATCH 0303/1425] test(start-plugin-core): type the dev harness
 config option with the harness's Vite types

startProtectedDevServer's new `config` option used the package's own Vite
`InlineConfig` and `mergeConfig`; the dev harness types its config with
compiler-test-utils' Vite copy, so test:types failed. It now takes
`StartDevServerOptions['config']` and adds the provider environment by
spreading.

Subject: [PATCH 0305/1425] test(router-plugin): pin fuzz findings N1, N2, N3
 and V3 of the code splitter

Turns the oracle-mode fuzzing findings for the code splitter into tests
(known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts). Each pin was run once as a normal
test and failed for the bug.

- N1 (new main bug): an imported split component that other code still
  reads loses its import. Pins: head() reads PostsPage.title (loadRoute),
  an exported component renders the imported errorComponent, read through
  a real importer (adapted from examples/solid/start-supabase-basic
  posts.$postId.tsx), a pendingComponent split by custom groupings that an
  unsplit errorComponent renders, and real SSR builds on Vite and Rspack.
  Red: "PostsPage/ErrorComponent/Spinner is not defined". Control: the same
  head() route with the component declared in the route file passes.
- N2 (new main bug): a top-level call reading a module-level binding runs
  again in every split chunk. Two rows in the "unreferenced top-level side
  effect" table (red: 3 calls instead of 1); the table's Bug comment now
  covers these calls. Control: calls reading only imports or literals run
  once. The harness body moved into expectEffectRunsOnce.
- N3 (new main bug, upstream root cause): parenthesized JSX under `!` or a
  member call is printed without parentheses. Red: the split chunk does
  not parse. Root cause in @babel/generator 7.29.8; no workaround.
  Control: parenthesized JSX alone.
- V3 (variant): rows for the split-option re-parse pin: an immediately
  invoked function, a typed arrow, `as any`, `!` and a type argument
  (the last one parses as comparisons and yields `false`). Red: Babel
  "Unexpected token" / "component is not a function".

Subject: [PATCH 0306/1425] test(router-generator): pin the second
 createFileRoute import for a wrapper module (fuzz V2)

A route file that imports createFileRoute from a module of the app
(`@/lib/router`) gets a second createFileRoute import from the router
package, so the written file no longer parses. The pin runs the real
generator on a moved route and asserts that the written file is a valid
module (known-bugs.test.ts, "route constructor imports"). Red: "Identifier
`createFileRoute` has already been declared".

Subject: [PATCH 0307/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin fuzz findings N3, N4,
 N5, V1 and the classic JSX runtime at compiler level

Each pin was run once as a normal test and failed for the bug.

- N3 (upstream root cause): parenthesized JSX under `!` or a member call
  loses its parentheses in the client output, and in a Hydrate `fallback`
  (start-compiler-preserves-user-code.test.ts). Red: the module does not
  parse. Root cause in @babel/generator 7.29.8; no workaround. Control:
  parenthesized JSX alone.
- N4 (new main bug): a `.validator()` on a builder stored in a variable
  is not stripped from the client. Server fn rows in
  createServerFn/caller-dead-code.test.ts (one and two handlers; red: the
  client imports ./schema; the provider still applies the validator) and a
  middleware row in start-compiler-factories.test.ts (red: the client
  imports ./check.server). Control: the `.server()` link of a middleware
  builder variable is stripped.
- N5 (new main bug): a component bound inside the `<Hydrate>` children
  (`const Icon = icons[id]` in a map callback) is passed as a capture
  (known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts). Red: the client parent references an
  undeclared `Icon`. Control: `Icon` bound outside the boundary renders
  the same on client and server.
- V1 (upstream root cause): a validator schema that a type alias reads
  with `typeof` stays in the client (known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts).
  Red: the client still imports zod. Root cause in
  babel-dead-code-elimination 1.0.12; no workaround. Control: the schema
  without the type alias leaves.
- Classic JSX runtime: under `/** @jsxRuntime classic */`, the SSR output
  drops `import * as React` once the `<ClientOnly>` children are removed.
  Red: "`React` is referenced but never declared or imported". Control:
  the import stays when other kept code reads React.

Subject: [PATCH 0308/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin builder-variable and
 typeof-read validators in Vite and Rsbuild builds (fuzz N4, V1)

Adds three constructs to the shared "server code of each construct" build
of start-build-env-separation.test.ts (one build per bundler, no new
build): a server fn validator on a builder variable, a middleware
validator on a builder variable (N4), and a validator schema that a type
alias reads with `typeof` (V1, upstream root cause in
babel-dead-code-elimination). Each pin asserts that the validator module's
marker is `nowhere` in the client and that the SSR build still applies the
validator. Red on both bundlers: the marker is `eager`; the SSR half
passes. Control row: a middleware `.server()` on a builder variable is
stripped and runs in the SSR build.

The middleware builders live in a module without a server fn factory:
with one, the Rsbuild SSR build fails to resolve `createMiddleware`
(already pinned as "a module with a middleware and an isomorphic fn
builds ...", BS-6/K-13; a server fn triggers it too).

The harness's stand-in `createServerFn` gains `.validator()`, which the
real runtime has: the server runs the validator (a function) on the input
before the handler. Additive; no existing build used it.

Subject: [PATCH 0309/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild dev .mts/.cts
 importers, behavior and mockAccess

- A client .mts or .cts module importing a .server file is reported and
  mocked in Rsbuild dev (the host skipped importers by extension).
- Rsbuild dev honours behavior: { dev: 'error' } (compile error) and the
  dev default (warning); onViolation gets the effective behavior.
- Rsbuild dev honours mockAccess: the mock reports a use with
  console.error by default, console.warn for 'warn', nothing for 'off'.
  runRsbuildClient gains an additive levels option.

Subject: [PATCH 0310/1425] test(start-plugin-core): onViolation gets the type
 and RegExp pattern of a specifier violation

- A callback that returns nothing does not allow a denied specifier: the
  build fails and the callback gets a 'specifier' violation (the existing
  table had file and marker rows only).
- A RegExp client.specifiers pattern is reported as the rule that matched.
Both bundlers.

 hooks left by mutation round 3

- A virtual module of a user plugin placed after the Start compiler loads in
  dev (the server-fn id validator must only claim its own virtual id).
- A route that becomes a page before the browser loaded the client route
  tree shows up in the client route tree (the invalidation must cope with a
  route tree not in the client module graph yet).
- The client route module of a split page route takes part in HMR (Start
  forces route HMR on in its client code splitter).

 rebuild fails on a violation again

In watch mode, a rebuild for an unrelated edit still fails on a
violation the first build reported (the 'once' dedupe state of a build
does not carry over to the next build). buildStart gains an additive
Rsbuild-only watchEdits option: build in watch mode, apply edits after
the first build, describe the rebuild (bounded waits).

 imports source.transformImport rewrote; pin two bugs

- A denied import that Rsbuild's source.transformImport rewrote
  (ui-lib -> ui-lib/button) is reported on the line of its use: the
  location is only found in the rewritten code, through the mock
  module's path.
- Pin (NEW, low): the report points at src/entry.ts:2:16 instead of the
  use at 2:27.
- Pin (NEW): a specifier denied as written ('ui-lib') is not denied once
  transformImport rewrote it; the build succeeds without any report
  (the loader matches the post-SWC specifiers).

Subject: [PATCH 0315/1425] test(router-generator): a Vue component piece keeps
 its route's children

A `posts.component.vue` piece next to `posts.ts` must not take over the
children of `/posts`: `/posts/$postId` and `/posts/$postId/edit` stay in the
route tree under `/posts`, and the piece becomes the lazy `component` of
`/posts`. The existing Vue piece test had a component piece only on routes
without children.

Subject: [PATCH 0316/1425] test(router-generator): route paths, conflicts,
 tokens and params edge cases

Behaviours pinned through the evaluated route tree and the generator's
errors and warnings:
- virtual route paths and physical() prefixes without a leading slash
  (`docs/intro`, `api/v1`) get the same URLs as with one;
- virtual route files written with Windows separators (`docs\\intro.tsx`,
  as `path.join` gives on Windows) are imported;
- the "Conflicting configuration paths" and 'Invalid route path ""' errors
  name the offending route files;
- a route file name with a space gets a route (with a valid route tree);
- an indexToken regex with the `i` flag (JSON or RegExp) matches index
  files whatever their case;
- a token regex that does not compile fails the generator with an error
  naming the pattern (instead of a TypeError later);
- no param warning for a route without `$` or with a `$` inside a static
  segment (`usd-$`);
- `FileRoutesByFullPath['/']` is the index route, not a pathless layout
  defined only by a `.lazy.tsx` file.

Subject: [PATCH 0318/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild dev keeps
 compiling after a server fn module is deleted

Adds startRsbuildStartDevServer (additive): an Rsbuild dev server with
Start's whole Rsbuild plugin (client and SSR, the generated server fn
resolver). Deleting a module that defines a server fn must drop it from the
resolver; otherwise the next compile never completes.

Kills: spc:6802
Survive (no observable difference found): spc:6980-6983 (invalidating
deleted files in the compiler cache; a re-created file is reported as
modified and invalidated then).

Subject: [PATCH 0320/1425] test: fix corpus defects and weak pins found by the
 #8504 probe

A1 delete the invalid TS2300 "type re-export and value re-export" row.
A2 duplicate Route (TS2440): build fails naming Route, or the page renders.
A3 display-name: placement control kept; goal pin added (lazy and renders
   the property; main: entry throws "Page is not defined").
A4 merged namespace row reads Value.one (old input invalid without splitter).
A5 @jsxFrag row really uses a fragment.
A6 comment fixes (KB private call result, KB object-form handler,
   route-hmr lowercase pendingComponent, start-compiler renamed re-export,
   hydrate namespace hook).
B1-B5 counted write row; register/registry counts read after the chunk
   loads; split-or-reported for export list/alias/specifier/class rows;
   library server fn refusal uses misplacedServerFnRejection.

Subject: [PATCH 0321/1425] test: apply the 2026-10-17 rulings (dead-code
 references, Route readers, R-09, L3)

- validate-module: free names inside module-level functions that are not
  exported and that nothing reads (transitively) are no module error;
  everything else stays strict. Controls for both sides.
- dead-code:196 and the KB `as any` controls: the dead code (marker) is
  absent from production client builds on Vite, Rspack and webpack, and the
  page renders.
- KB:2197 comment states the one-instance requirement.
- R-09 route factories: split (and hot-updated keeping identity), or
  unsplit with a warning naming the file in every mode; the five factory
  pins accept the same two outcomes. hotUpdate returns the file id.
- L3: a module imported only for a type specifier with
  verbatimModuleSyntax does not load in a Vite client build (with a
  control proving the tsconfig is in effect).

Subject: [PATCH 0322/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Vite dev import protection
 hooks (mockAccess, marker retro checks, traces, full-bundle dev)

Behaviours of the Vite import-protection plugin hooks in dev:
- mockAccess 'warn' / 'off' change how the dev client mocks report their use
  (console.warn / nothing instead of console.error).
- The importers of each of several server-only-marked modules are logged when
  the client loads the importers first (retroactive marker check per module).
- A warning's trace leads from the router entry through a module of
  src/routes (route modules are not entries in unbundled dev).
- With behavior "error", the trace of an import added by an edit still leads
  from the router entry (the dev server's module graph).
- Full-bundle dev (experimental.bundledDev): a denied file is mocked in the
  client bundle and logged at the use (coverage of the bundledDev path; the
  harness gains an additive `bundledDev` option).

Pin (test.fails, NEW): in a JSX module, a denied file imported through an
alias (package.json `imports`) is reported at a location read from the
compiled code (4:77 of a two-line module): resolveId reports the violation
before the transform-cache loop captures the module's source map
('devViolation'); a scratch run that always captures the map passes it.

Subject: [PATCH 0323/1425] test(start-plugin-core): build import protection
 reports only surviving imports, once, with their type

- A server-only-marked module re-exported by a mixed barrel whose other
  exports the client uses is tree-shaken: the build succeeds without a
  report (guide "False Positives: Dev vs Build"). Rsbuild is pinned
  test.fails: same root cause as the IP6b pins in known-bugs.test.ts (its
  report step walks every module of the graph).
- Mock mode: a denied import of a route used by its loader and its split
  component (two bundle modules, one source import) is warned once.
- onViolation gets type 'specifier' for an import of a denied specifier.

Subject: [PATCH 0324/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin dev error mode
 silencing modules a server fn factory imports

Pin (test.fails, NEW): when the Start compiler's lookup of a server fn
factory module resolves its imports, Vite import protection records each
imported module as a lookup module by its path ("Propagate pre-transform
status transitively" in resolveId), so the client's own transform of that
module is silenced in dev with behavior "error": a module the factory
imports that calls getRequest() at the top level loads the real
@tanstack/react-start/server without any error. Same root cause as the B3
pin above, wider trigger. Red reason: "expected 'loaded' to deeply equal
[ 'client src/other.ts' ]"; the test passes with propagation removed.

Kills: spc:5168, spc:5169

 import-protection exemptions

- R-11: findPostCompileUsagePos reports the same line and column for LF,
  CRLF and lone CR; the reported importer location for a lone-CR file on
  Vite/Rsbuild dev and build (main passes both).
- R-13: `@jsx` only row on the KB "factory the route module creates ...
  created once" pin (main: "jsx is not defined").
- Import-protection exemptions (ruling 2026-10-17), new exemptions.test.ts:
  exempt importers (ignoreImporters, exclude, outside include) get the real
  module and are not reported; non-exempt importers get the mock and are
  reported. Vite and Rsbuild builds, Vite dev.
  Pins: exempt importers get the mock (ignoreImporters, exclude).
  NEW pin: with `include`, a denied file outside the patterns is never
  mocked (build ships the real module; Vite dev page fails to load).

Subject: [PATCH 0326/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Vite dev import protection
 gaps (onViolation, start entry, split routes, non-JS modules, edits, traces)

Dev server tests (tests/importProtection/dev.test.ts):
- onViolation that returns nothing keeps the warning; with behavior
  "error", an onViolation that does not return false does not allow the
  import (denied file and specifier).
- A denied import reached only from the start entry (src/start.ts) is
  mocked and logged.
- A split route component using a denied file, directly or through a module
  only the split module imports, is mocked and logged at each use (Start's
  whole plugin).
- An .mdx module (stand-in compiler plugin) importing a denied file, directly
  or through a module, is mocked and logged at each importer.
- A denied specifier added to an importer by an edit is a mock the edited
  module can import.
- An edit of a CSS module and a JSON module updates without an HMR error.
- A use of a specifier denied by a custom pattern rule in a JSX module is
  located on its source line.
- Full-bundle dev (bundledDev): denied imports are mocked in the client
  bundle and logged (no import-protection test covered bundledDev).
- With maxTraceDepth, the trace ends at the importer, each step naming the
  import of the next.
- Control: a module the client loads after the server rendered is logged.
start-apps.ts: startProtectedDevServer gains an additive `bundledDev` option.

Pins (test.fails, NEW main bugs):
- Dev ignores maxTraceDepth: the module graph trace replaces the cut trace
  (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts rebuildAndAnnotateTrace).
- Dev: an .mdx (non-JS) module importing a denied specifier fails to load
  with "[vite] The "code" property of ModuleInfo is not supported."
  (resolveExportsForDeniedSpecifier falls back to getModuleInfo().code).
- With server.perEnvironmentStartEndDuringDev, the first request of another
  environment clears every environment's state (buildStart clearEnvState),
  so violations of modules the client loads afterwards are discarded.

Subject: [PATCH 0327/1425] test: recall tests for source map names, the dev
 race and cached rebuilds

- Y-names: a minified Vite client chunk's map names a renamed split
  component parameter at its original position (namedSegments helper in
  compiler-test-utils, with a control).
- Dev race (known-bugs-dev-server): rows split; the hybrid shape (removing
  a helper of an exported component) is a plain test, main passes it; the
  removing/adding rows stay `.fails`.
- Cached rebuild: webpack/Rspack watch builds (new `rebuildAfter` harness
  option, memory cache, with a control) keep an exported component that a
  split component renders lazy after an edit.

Subject: [PATCH 0328/1425] test(start-plugin-core): one seam module for the
 compilerTransforms test transforms

renderThingTransform (regression-helpers.ts) and the warning transform
(start-build-warnings.test.ts) move to tests/compiler-transforms-seam.ts,
the only test file that binds to the AST shape of the `compilerTransforms`
hook. Behaviour unchanged; regression-helpers re-exports renderThingTransform.

Subject: [PATCH 0330/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): check classic JSX pragma
 modules with the classic runtime

The module validator compiled JSX with React's automatic runtime unless the
module set `@jsxRuntime`. Oxc then ignores a lone `@jsx`/`@jsxFrag` pragma,
so a module that names a factory it never declares passed validation.

Under the automatic runtime such a pragma is ignored (Oxc, TypeScript,
esbuild with a warning) or rejected (SWC, Babel), so the module only works as
written in a classic-runtime project. The validator now uses the classic
runtime for a module with `@jsx`/`@jsxFrag` and no `@jsxRuntime`/
`@jsxImportSource` pragma; Oxc still reads the module's own leading pragmas.

Controls: classic pragma with the factory declared or imported (accepted),
factory or fragment missing (rejected), a pragma below an import (default
factory, rejected), automatic runtime unchanged (no pragma, explicit
`@jsxRuntime automatic`, `@jsxImportSource`).

No test changed status in router-plugin, start-plugin-core,
react-start-rsc or router-generator. One pin now fails earlier for the same
bug: known-bugs-hydrate "client: a module with a classic JSX pragma renders
through its factory" (the validator reports `React`; comment updated).

Subject: [PATCH 0331/1425] test(start-plugin-core): importers of a denied file
 excludeFiles matches get the real module

Covers the excludeFiles part of the 2026-10-17 import-protection exemption
ruling, in mock mode:
- Vite and Rsbuild builds: `client.excludeFiles` (client) and
  `server.excludeFiles` (SSR) matching `src/vendor/**`: the importer gets the
  real module, the denied file runs, nothing is reported.
- Controls, same builds with the default patterns: the same files are mocked
  and their importers reported.
- Default patterns: a `*.server.*` entry of a local `node_modules`
  dependency is real and not reported.
- Vite dev: the client rows (custom, control, dependency).

All pass on main (no pin). A scratch mutation that ignores excludeFiles
(import-protection/utils.ts `isFileExcluded`) fails the 9 "real module" rows.

Subject: [PATCH 0332/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): clear free names only in
 code Rolldown tree-shakes away

User ruling 2026-10-17 (dead-code references, widened): code the bundlers
delete from a production build may read undeclared names. getModuleErrors
now replaces the hand-rolled "unreferenced non-exported function" rule with
real tree-shaking: when the plain check finds a free name, the compiled
module is bundled alone with Vite's own Rolldown (treeshake on, exports as
roots, imports external and side-effectful, platform neutral) and only the
free names of what survives are errors. No test changed status.

Controls: an unused function, an unused variable with a pure initializer,
dead `if (false)` branches, an unused class pass; exported code, code
reachable from an export, module-level calls and writes fail.

Subject: [PATCH 0333/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): reject dangling names in
 production client builds

describeBuild now checks every production client build of Vite, Rspack and
webpack (webpack/Rspack when minified; esbuild is not checked): a chunk name
that is neither declared, imported nor a global throws DanglingNameError.
Globals: the `globals` package (builtin + browser + nodeBuiltin), new
dependency of compiler-test-utils (already in the lockfile, 16.4.0), plus
Solid's hydration global `_$HY`. Applies to the router build harness and
Start's buildStart.

KB "page code in client builds": the display-name route (known bug, the
route module keeps `Page.displayName = ...` without `Page`) now builds alone
for its .fails pin, red on all bundlers with `entry.mjs: Page`; its
placement-only control rows (6) are removed. The Vite "unused object names
the split component" pin now fails at the harness check, same bug.

Subject: [PATCH 0334/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): narrow the known globals
 and check unminified Rspack and webpack builds as minified

- One allowlist (src/known-globals.ts) for the module validator and the
  production client chunk check: language globals, Node.js ES module
  globals, a curated list of browser APIs plus the element and event
  constructors, and Solid's _$HY. Generic window properties (name, status,
  event, top, parent...) no longer count as globals; the validator no
  longer accepts whatever the test process put on globalThis.
- Unminified (source map) production client builds of Rspack and webpack
  are checked on a copy of each chunk minified as the bundler's production
  minifier does (SWC minify / webpack's terser, compress passes 2, mangle,
  module output as a module).
- Controls: name/status read by a chunk is rejected (Vite, Rspack,
  webpack) and by the validator; unminified Rspack and webpack builds reject
  a dangling name in kept code and pass one in code the minifier deletes.

Subject: [PATCH 0335/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): wait for the Rsbuild
 compile that includes an edit

The Rsbuild dev-server harness read its compile counter after writing the
edited files. When the watcher started the compile of the edit before the
writes were seen as done (a loaded machine), the harness waited for a later
compile that never came: "Rsbuild did not compile src/page.tsx within
20000 ms" (start-plugin-core hydrate-build, rsbuild/dev-server,
compiler-test-utils rsbuild-dev-server).

- trackCompiles() (rsbuild-dev-server.ts) listens before writing and ends
  the wait at the end of the compile whose changed files
  (compiler.modifiedFiles / removedFiles) include the edit: every compiler
  that read an edited file reported it, and new files were read (or are
  looked for by no compile). A compile Rspack gives up on fails the wait
  with its error. The timeout is only a hang guard, with a message naming
  what no compile included.
- Start's Rsbuild watch build (tests/build-harness.ts watchEdits) uses it
  too, instead of 'the next onAfterBuild after the writes'.
- known-bugs onViolation test: compile guard 3 s -> 10 s (the failed
  compile ends the wait; a slow first compile must not fail it).
- Control: an edit whose compile starts while a large unrelated file is
  still being written (fails on the old harness with the flake's message).

Subject: [PATCH 0336/1425] test(router-plugin): pin fuzz round-2 findings F1
 and split-binding variants

F1 (MED): an exported component named by a split option written as
`X as any`, `X as typeof X`, `withAuth(X)` or `memo(X)` is copied into the
option's chunk, so the route renders another instance than its importers
get. Compiler-level `.fails.each` over the four shapes (through a real
importer, ruling P1) with the bare identifier as passing control; build
pin per client bundler (Vite, Rspack, webpack): the component is in the
client once, split or reported (decision D11). Red: other instance;
`eager+lazy` on all three bundlers.

Variants (all `.fails`, red on main):
- an unsplit option that reads a Route-reading split component with
  `typeof` sees 'undefined' (split-binding-declaration-deleted-while-read);
- `((flag) as any) ? -x : y` loses its parentheses in a split chunk
  (upstream @babel/generator 7.29.8, no workaround): PARSE_ERROR;
- N3 row `(<p>page</p>)?.valueOf()`: PARSE_ERROR.

Subject: [PATCH 0337/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin fuzz round-2 Hydrate
 findings F2, F4 and a nested children-prop id

F4 (HIGH): split route options with boundaries that another option reads
(`head` reads `Page.name`) go to a shared module without the lazy
component of the boundary. Vite and Rsbuild Start builds, `.fails`;
control: the existing default-groupings route test (same route, now
built from a shared fixture helper). Red: the build harness rejects the
client output (dangling generated name in the entry chunk).

F2 (LOW): an unused exported component's boundary still ships (its
module-level lazyRouteComponent call is kept). One shared build per
bundler; control without a boundary passes. Red: marker `lazy`, not
`nowhere`.

Variant: a boundary nested in a `children` prop hydrates without the id
the server renders (hydrate-children-prop family). Red: client id
undefined.

Subject: [PATCH 0338/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin fuzz round-2 F3 and
 Start compiler variants

F3 (MED): an isomorphic fn whose `.server()` or `.client()` link is stored
in a variable loses that implementation. Compiler level (both directions,
evaluated with the Start runtime of each environment) next to the N4
builder-variable pins, control: the inline chain. Build rows on Vite and
Rsbuild in the shared env-separation build (new module
src/iso-builders.ts), control: the existing inline isomorphic fn. Red:
SSR or client returns undefined.

Variants (all `.fails`, red on main):
- `applyStep(createServerFn().validator(schema)).handler(...)`: module left
  untransformed, client imports the schema;
- `withBuilder(createIsomorphicFn().server(f)).client(g)`: module throws
  "withBuilder(...).client is not a function";
- V1 mirror: SSR keeps a client-only declaration a `typeof` type alias
  reads, with its import (control without the alias);
- a class with a call in its extends clause used by a handler keeps its
  server-only import in the client (dce-keeps-class row; the server-only
  stub now also exports TaggedError);
- `((flag) as any) ? -x : y` loses its parentheses in the client output
  (upstream @babel/generator 7.29.8, no workaround);
- N3 row `(<p>page</p>)?.valueOf()`.

Subject: [PATCH 0339/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): keep Vite's default
 pre-transform requests in the dev harness

The Vite dev-server harness turned `server.preTransformRequests` off for
every test, unlike a real app, where the client environment transforms
the static imports of each served module in the background. That hid
r5 M1 (a false import-protection warning). The harness now keeps Vite's
default; a test can still turn it off through `config`.

Adds `idle()`, which waits until no environment has a transform in
flight (background pre-transforms included), so tests can read what
those transforms log deterministically.

No status change in router-plugin, start-plugin-core, react-start-rsc,
router-generator or compiler-test-utils with the default on.

Subject: [PATCH 0340/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin M1, a handler-only
 helper logged as a client violation

With Vite's default pre-transform requests, the Start compiler's lookup
of a server fn factory module pre-transforms a helper the factory uses
only inside `.server()`, and dev import protection logs the helper's
denied import as a client violation (the 'unknown' reachability
fallback). The client never loads the helper.

Pin (red for the right reason: `client src/helper.ts:3:34` logged, 10 of
10 runs with `idle()`), plus a passing control with pre-transform
requests off.

Subject: [PATCH 0341/1425] test(start-plugin-core): close the Vite dev
 import-protection gaps of the final mutation pass

N1: an edit of a module, then of its importer, updates without an error.
N2: an edit of a CSS file another CSS module @imports updates without an
error. N3: a denied import of a module a server fn factory re-exports is
logged, with a trace to the use. N6: full-bundle dev logs a violation of a
module the bundle input reaches before the router entry does. N7: a
factory calling a denied file at the top level is logged at that use only;
a module without exports is located on its source line; full-bundle dev
mocks a server fn built with a factory of a denied file. N8: dev traces
start at the router entry when something imports it, are the shortest
chain, keep the importer while it is still transforming, and full-bundle
client and SSR traces lead from the router entry.

Pins (red for the right reason):
- M2: full-bundle dev with mockAccess 'off' fails the client bundle
  (UNLOADABLE_DEPENDENCY ...mock?server-fn-module-lookup).
- M3: a client-only import reached only from a custom src/server.ts is
  mocked on the server without a warning (control: via the router entry).
- M4: the full-bundle client trace under a route module stops at the route.
- NEW: the Importer of a module a factory re-exports is `other.ts:2:24`
  (source map source taken as is, sourceLocation.ts).

Subject: [PATCH 0342/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover build traces with
 bundledDev, Rsbuild entry traces and Rsbuild dev ids

N8: a `vite build` with `experimental.bundledDev` in the Vite config (as
apps that enable full-bundle dev keep it) traces a violation under a
route module from the entry through it. The Vite build harness takes a
`viteConfig` (additive).

N13: in Rsbuild dev, server fn ids do not come from
`serverFns.generateFunctionId`, which the docs scope to production
builds. The Rsbuild compiler harness passes the option through.

N10: the trace starts at the entry when a module imports the entry back.
Vite passes; Rsbuild is pinned (NEW, low): production builds
concatenate the entry module, which has no resourceResolveData, so the
adapter registers the first loader's path as the entry and the trace
collapses to the importer. spc:7260/7261 only remove that wrong
registration and stay equivalent until it is fixed (a scratch fix with
the concatenated module's rootModule flips the pin).

Kills: spc:4988, 4989, 6812

Subject: [PATCH 0343/1425] test(router-generator): close the piece and
 pathless-layout gaps, pin G1-G3

N4: a route with a `.lazy` file next to a route with a component piece
both get their lazy parts (the lazy route the router loads is the file's
Route). N5: a pathless layout with only a Vue piece in a route group has
no path option (router-core would match it as a page). N11: a routeToken
regex matching names that contain a word makes such a file a layout.

Helpers (route-tree.ts, additive): `routePathsOf` and `loadLazyRoute`
(runs a route's `lazy()` with the dynamic imports stubbed).

Pins (red for the right reason):
- G1: a pathless layout with only a lazy file or a Vue piece under a path
  drops the path from its children's URLs (`/bar` instead of
  `/foo/bar`; the types say `/foo/bar`). Not PIN-A: different shape
  and cause (the virtual node is typed `static`). Control: a route file.
- G2: `posts/route.component.vue` becomes a route `/posts/route`.
- G3: a `.lazy.vue` file is wired as a lazy route that cannot load (the
  SFC has no lazy route options); an empty `.lazy.vue` is scaffolded with
  TypeScript route code.

Kills: rg:414, 455 (also flips G1), 2723
Not killed: rg:2725, 2729 (need a file name with a single bracket).

Subject: [PATCH 0344/1425] test(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): debug
 output off by default, generator factory, route code frames, perf report

N9: with default options, a Vite build (split, unsplit and shared-binding
routes) and serving a React or Solid route with route HMR print nothing
to the console. Borderline rp:1938: TSR_VITE_DEBUG=start-plugin-core
(Start's own debug scope) prints nothing of the router plugin.

N12: the generator's unplugin factory from the package root generates
the route tree (rp:1935). The code frame of a denied import in a route
module shows the route file's source in Start dev (rp:532-534, the route
module's sourcesContent; verified on router-plugin dist: rp:533, 534
fail it; rp:532 does not type-check for a dist build and is the same
runtime change as rp:533).

Borderline spc:4025/7038: with TSR_IMPORT_PROTECTION_PERF=1 and no report
file, Vite and Rsbuild builds succeed and log the perf report
(INTERNALS.md).

Kills: rp:1420, 1442, 1455, 1543, 1592, 1597, 1605, 1619, 1738, 1743,
1936, 1938, 1935, 533, 534 (532 by equivalence); spc:4025, 7038

Subject: [PATCH 0345/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): keep Rsbuild's default
 development source maps in the Rsbuild dev harness

The Rsbuild dev harness turned source maps off, unlike an app in
development (`cheap-module-source-map` for JS), which can hide how
diagnostics are located. No status change in the five suites.

Subject: [PATCH 0346/1425] test(start-plugin-core): load the shortest-trace
 dev app without pre-transforms

Vite's background pre-transforms can serve src/s.ts before src/c.ts, so
the module graph lacked one chain when the violation was reported and
spc:4072 survived about one run in four. Opt out for this test (comment
says why); 9 of 9 mutant runs now fail it.

Subject: [PATCH 0349/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): let a typeof check
 exempt only the reads it guards

H1: `unboundNames` (validator and production dangling-name check) no
longer exempts every read of a name the module checks with `typeof`
anywhere. A read counts as guarded only in the code the check selects:
the right side of `&&`/`||`, the branch of `?:`/`if`, the statements
after an early return, and functions only guarded code reads. Minified
forms (`typeof x<`u``, swapped operands, comma sequences) are understood.

H2: production client chunks may only read browser globals
(`clientGlobals`): Node-only globals (process, Buffer, global,
setImmediate, clearImmediate) pass only when a typeof check guards them.
Vue's feature flags join the framework globals (Vue assigns them to
globalThis itself).

Controls: guarded reads accepted, unguarded reads next to a guard (other
function, wrong branch, before the check) rejected; client builds reading
Buffer/global/setImmediate raise DanglingNameError on Vite, Rspack and
webpack; guarded Node globals and process.env.NODE_ENV pass.

Subject: [PATCH 0350/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): one fallback stub per
 specifier; cycle and TDZ controls

H4: a fallback stub is now one instance per specifier (like one module of
a bundle), not one per importer: later importers get the same values, and
`fallbackStub` is called again only for names earlier importers did not
import. Control: two importers of a stubbed package get the same object.

H11: delete the dead `lenient` and `idOf` options of the linker.

Add the linker controls the file header claims: a cycle links with live
bindings and hoisted functions, and a read in the TDZ throws a
ReferenceError.

No status change in the five packages.

Subject: [PATCH 0351/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): erase TypeScript like
 Vite under verbatimModuleSyntax

H3: the linker's default transform (and router-plugin's React Refresh
transform) now erase TypeScript with `onlyRemoveTypeImports`, as Vite does
in a project with `verbatimModuleSyntax`: an unused value import still
loads its module, `import { type X }` loads it as `import './x'`, only
`import type` goes. New option `verbatimModuleSyntax: false` (linker and
router-plugin `loadRoute`) erases like a project without it. Controls in
module-linker.test.ts.

Status changes:
- router-plugin code-splitter-imports-exports "reads an ambient var merged
  with an interface ...": NEW main bug, exposed. The split chunk and the
  route module import the ambient var from the shared module, which has no
  runtime binding; real Vite + verbatimModuleSyntax fails the build with
  MISSING_EXPORT. Split into a passing row without verbatimModuleSyntax
  and a `.fails` pin with it (red: "does not provide an export named
  'readVersion'").
- router-plugin known-bugs-code-splitter overload pin (#8505) flipped: the
  bug only shows without verbatimModuleSyntax. The pin now runs that way
  (red: "Export 'helper' is not defined"); a passing control runs with it.
- start-plugin-core start-compiler-factories "isomorphic, server-only and
  middleware implementations in one module ...": the test's package stub
  lacked factories the real package exports and `head` imports; add them.

Subject: [PATCH 0352/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): dev-server settle() sees
 identical rewrites; event order options

H5: `settle()` compares modification times as well as contents, so a
write that leaves a file as it was is reported as a `change`, as chokidar
reports it. Controls: an identical rewrite is reported; a plugin that
rewrites a file on every event never settles (reload loop detected).

H6: `fileEvents` (createDevServer) and `settle(options)` / `edit(files,
options)`: `order: 'creations-first'` reports a rename as add then unlink;
`batch: true` emits all events of a round before the server handled the
first. Defaults unchanged. Controls for both orders and for batch mode.

Status change: start-plugin-core importProtection/dev.test.ts pin "is
mocked after an edit adds the marker, and the violation is logged" passed:
the test rewrote the whole app (identical importers included), which a
real watcher reports as edits of the importers. The test now edits only
the marked module; red again for its baseline reason (no violation
logged).

Subject: [PATCH 0353/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): webpack loader composes
 source maps; Vite SSR unminified; .ts without JSX

Webpack harness loader (build-harness-oxc-loader.mjs): takes the incoming
map, transforms with `sourcemap: true` composing it, and passes the map
on, like a real loader. The control in tests/build-harness.test.ts now has
TypeScript-only lines before the throw: red on webpack with the old loader
(line 3 instead of 8), green with the new one. router-plugin
build-source-maps webpack pins stay red for the unplugin reason
(line 3 instead of 5); comment updated.

H9: Vite SSR production builds are no longer minified by default, like
`vite build --ssr`. Control: Vite SSR keeps a local name, the client
build does not.

H10: the raw Rspack row parses `.ts` without JSX and `.tsx` with it.
Rspack's SWC already picks JSX from the file extension, so the old
`tsx: true` had no effect (audit claim not reproduced); the config is now
explicit, with a control that builds `<T>(x: T) => x` and `<number>x` in a
`.ts` module on every bundler.

No status change in the five packages.

Subject: [PATCH 0354/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): Rsbuild dev harness hmr
 option and hot-update chunks

H7: `createRsbuildDevServer({ hmr })` sets Rsbuild's `dev.hmr`;
`hotUpdates()` returns the hot-update chunks of the last compile, and
`outputs()` leaves hot-update files out. The default stays off (Rsbuild's
is on): with it on, 15 tests of router-plugin and start-plugin-core fail,
because the emitted chunks carry Rsbuild's HMR client, which throws when a
test evaluates the output outside a browser, and tests that look for a
module's chunk miss it. Control: with `hmr: true` an edit emits a
hot-update chunk with the new marker; with `hmr: false` none.

No status change in the five packages.

Subject: [PATCH 0355/1425] test(router-generator): route tree helper places
 routes like router-core

Audit D harness items H1-H4:
- H1: ids and URL paths derive from each route's getParentRoute() the way
  router-core's Route.init does; the evaluation fails when getParentRoute
  is missing or disagrees with the _addFileChildren nesting, and on two
  routes with the same id (router-core's duplicate-id invariant).
- H2: lazyRouteComponent / lazyFn without an export name take `default`
  (router-core / react|solid|vue-router lazyRouteComponent default).
- H3: the router stub also provides createLazyFileRoute, createLazyRoute
  (a lazy route is { options: { id, ...options } } like LazyRoute) and
  createRoute.
- H4: the file a lazy importer loads is found by running the importer
  through the instrumented import(), not by a regex on its source.
route-id.ts: the evaluated Route records the constructor that created it
(createdWith), for constructor assertions.

Controls added in route-tree.test.ts and route-id.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 0356/1425] test(router-generator): concurrent-save race and
 dev map tests assert outcomes only

Audit D:
- H5 / concurrent-write:85: the "temporary file stat" row completed the
  racing save only when the generator stat'ed a file under its tmpDir (an
  internal step of safeFileWrite). The save now completes before the
  generator's next file operation of any kind after the racing read (row
  renamed "generator's next file operation"), and only the final file
  content is asserted.
- generator-dev:419 getRoutesByFileMap: no longer pins the root route's id
  ('/__root', an internal handshake with router-plugin's HMR adapter);
  asserts the mapped files and the /posts route id, before and after a
  rerun.
- generator-dev:377 afterTransform prevNode: deleted (internal plugin
  hook); covered by start-plugin-core
  tests/start-router-dev-server.test.ts:28 (the client route tree follows
  page <-> server-only edits in Vite dev).

Subject: [PATCH 0357/1425] test(router-generator): apply audit D to option,
 path and error tests

- generator-options:182 lazy file gets createLazyFileRoute: no exact
  text; the BOM is kept, non-import code changes only in the constructor
  call, Link and createLazyFileRoute are each imported once, and the file
  evaluates to /posts created with createLazyFileRoute.
- generator-options:331 hashbang route file: deleted, and the hashbang row
  of the :362 pin dropped (BOM row kept). tsc accepts a hashbang, but no
  route file has one: the 11 corpus files (of ~50k) with a hashbang and a
  Route export line are scaffolding scripts holding route templates in
  strings. The BOM rows of :91 cover prefix handling.
- generator-options:723 token acceptance (getConfig only), :889-929
  temporary directory, :938/:987 invalid configuration, the :852
  disableLogging true row, and route-paths:491 (token regex that does not
  compile): moved to tests/outside-compiler-corpus/config-options.test.ts.
  The two "differing only in flags" token rows are deleted.
- generator-options:796: the routeToken example of the docs
  (file-based-routing.md:120,124: /[a-z]+-layout/, main-layout.tsx)
  instead of /.*layout.*/ with mylayouts.tsx.
- generator-options:821 disableTypes extension under gen.tsr/: deleted
  (getConfig only, unrealistic directory name); :572 covers disableTypes by
  evaluating the JavaScript route tree.
- generator.test:406 routeTree directory creation: deleted with its
  snapshot; generator-options "the directories of a nested route tree
  path are created" covers it by evaluating the tree.
- route-paths:342/:356, deny-route-group-config:58 and generator.test
  shouldThrow: the run rejects and the error names the file(s); no
  wording.
- route-paths:375: @me.tsx / me.tsx instead of @B.tsx / B.tsx.
- route-paths:434: the /layout/gy row becomes /layout/g (no sticky flag).
- H7: the FileRoutesByTo / FileRoutesByFullPath tests run the real
  TypeScript compiler on the app (real @tanstack/react-router types), with
  a type-level assertion on the route's id, instead of reading `typeof`
  members of the parsed tree (new helper tests/type-check.ts). The app
  must type-check as a whole.

Subject: [PATCH 0358/1425] test(router-plugin): apply the final audit to
 known-bugs-code-splitter

Audit A (audit-final/A.md) and the coordinator decisions (SUMMARY.md).

Harness (A-H1): eagerModuleIds/eagerImportSources in regression-helpers.ts
give the static closure of the route module (what loads with the entry,
whichever emitted module imports it). importKinds 'static' also counts
imports from lazy chunks, so it is no eager signal. Used by the "page code
left in the route module" pins, the object-form loader pins (handler
placement, the ./api row), the class static-field pin and the classic JSX
factory pin.

Weak tests (check 4):
- export * pin: a real importer gets the re-exported name (P1) instead of
  requiring the route module to keep `export *`.
- classic factory pin: the library does not load with the entry (rows 1-2,
  Emotion as real apps write it), the chunk imports only `h` (row 3), and the
  component renders.
- client-build placement suite: controls, exported/unsplit pins and the
  two-option case also mount each route in the built app and require the
  marker in the rendered HTML (one jsdom run per app).
- `this` pin, server-only refusal, symlink refusal: a report or refusal must
  name the route file (server-only stub renamed ./secret-db so `server`
  in the module name cannot match).
- two-file-routes and options-by-call pins: reports must name what they
  report (reportsNotSplit / createFileRoute|Legacy).
- production warning tests: only "no app path in the bundle" is required;
  "the build warns" is a labelled precondition of the control.

Unrealistic inputs (check 2), verified with tsc (strict, react-jsx,
@tanstack/react-router types):
- function reassignment rows: TS2630 reproduced -> route.jsx.
- object-form loader spread: TS2322 reproduced (staleReloadMode: string)
  -> 'blocking' as const typechecks.
- groupings constant: TS2322 reproduced -> typed constant typechecks.
- Pages.Missing || / ?? fallback: TS2339 reproduced -> typed overrides
  object typechecks.
- class expression / class Page as component: TS2322 reproduced -> route.jsx
  with `class extends Component` (real class components); the unexported
  class must be split (D11), the exported one split or reported.
- memo(<p>page</p>): TS2769 reproduced -> withFallback(Page, <p>loading</p>)
  typechecks.
- Bar(props): TS7006 reproduced -> typed props.
- `export @observable class` (mobx decorates fields only): TS1238 with
  mobx 6's field-decorator signature (mobx not installed; signature
  declared locally) -> `export @injectable() class` (tsyringe signature)
  typechecks.
- deleted as fuzzer-shaped (valid TS, no user writes them; root causes kept
  by other rows): var in a for head (if/try rows), Object.assign onto
  enum/namespace and the dotted namespace (displayName, push, lets rows),
  computed-key row (duplicate of the computed-key pin), empty destructuring
  (type-alias row), non-null assertions on the factory call/component
  (as any / satisfies rows), IIFE and memo(Page!) rows (JSX/TS rows),
  literal-array destructurings (createPair() rows), getter option (method
  row), exported pragma factory (kb "factory the route module creates").
- generated-name collisions: $$split*Importer rows deleted; local
  lazyRouteComponent/lazyFn rows replaced by a passing test where the route
  imports them from the router package next to split options.
- destructuring next to a Route reader: realistic
  createRouteHelpers(() => Route) shape; helpers created once.
- tsr-split pin: the app directory is named tsr-split-* (prefix), no
  synthetic module name.
- N3 rows `(<p/>)!`, `(<><i/></>)!`, `.valueOf()`, `?.valueOf()` deleted
  (coordinator); update-operand pin keeps only `(count as number)++`.

Every changed pin was run once without .fails: each fails for its bug
(placement eager / eager+lazy with rendersPage true, "Unexpected splitNode
type", "Duplicate declaration", "array of arrays", Babel JSX parse error,
PARSE_ERROR, assignment to an import, "split value ... not found" for
entry.ts, chunk requests ./lib, library loads eagerly, chunk imports
Fragment, server option kept, symlink placement eager, app path eager).

Subject: [PATCH 0359/1425] test(router-generator): known-bugs pins on
 reachable shapes, option keys through Start

Audit D, known-bugs.test.ts:
- :71 route option keys (read the internal createFileRouteProps): deleted
  here. The identifier-keys row is covered by start-plugin-core
  known-bugs-route-options.test.ts (page.tsx stays, api.tsx is pruned);
  the string-keys and aliased-Route-export rows move there as build rows
  (a route with server handlers and a component stays in the client route
  tree; one with only server handlers is pruned on Vite, Rsbuild parity
  pin as for api.tsx). The parentheses row is deleted (0 corpus files of
  ~50k wrap the constructor or the id in parentheses).
- :120 TypeScript wrappers (3 pins): deleted. The id rows (`as const`,
  `satisfies`) have 0 corpus files and the id wrapper already fails with a
  clear error. The cast-constructor row: audit claim "unrealistic" not
  reproduced (2 user route files call `(createFileRoute as any)(...)`), but
  the id string only feeds the route types, which the cast turns off
  (react-router fileRoute.ts createFileRoute ignores its path at runtime),
  so a stale id there has no user-visible effect: deleted.
- :161 type-only Route exports (3 pins): deleted (0 corpus files with
  `export type { X as Route }`, `export { type X as Route }` or
  `export declare const Route`); the control stays and now reads the route
  tree (routesOf) instead of the plugin route nodes.
- :192 constructor import pin: the type-only import row is invalid TS
  (tsc: TS1361 "'createFileRoute' cannot be used as a value because it was
  imported using 'import type'"), deleted; the aliased-import row stays.

Subject: [PATCH 0360/1425] test(router-generator): scaffolded routes assert
 structure, follow quoteStyle/semicolons

Audit D, template.test.ts:
- :86 / :103 route files whose paths contain `"`: deleted (the React/Solid
  test and the Vue pin). `"` is not allowed in Windows file names, so a
  cross-platform app cannot have such a route file.
- :184 scaffolded routes render: no greeting text; asserts each scaffolded
  file evaluates to a Route with the right id, created with the right
  constructor (createLazyFileRoute for .lazy files), whose component
  renders something, and the root route renders an Outlet. H8: the
  evaluation doc says Solid JSX is compiled with a React-like runtime, so
  only the structure is meaningful.
- Missing coverage 5: scaffolded root, route and lazy route files follow
  quoteStyle and semicolons for each target (docs file-based-routing.md:
  "when you first create a new route, those files will be formatted with
  the quote style you specify" / "with semicolons"). String literals that
  contain a quote character may use either quote (prettier picks the one
  that avoids escapes).

NEW main bug, pinned in route-paths.test.ts (found writing the optional
`what's-new.tsx` replacement): a route file name with an apostrophe makes
the generated route tree unparseable (utils.ts:1196 buildImportString
writes `from '${source}'` unescaped), so the run fails with "';'
expected". Verified red for that reason.

Subject: [PATCH 0361/1425] test(start-plugin-core): realistic <Hydrate> inputs
 and name-aware chunk helpers

Apply audit G (Hydrate slice).

Systemic `when` fix: every Start `<Hydrate>` in the five Hydrate files now
passes the required `when` (`when={load()}`, `load` imported from
`@tanstack/react-start/hydration` in the shared heads; Solid pages from
`@tanstack/solid-start/hydration`; the hydrate-build stand-ins export `load`).
tsc (react-start dist, strict): `<Hydrate><p/></Hydrate>` -> TS2322 "Property
'when' is missing ... required in type 'HydrateCommonOptions'"; docs say
"Required". Not touched: spreads that already carry `when`, globals, the
local/foreign `Hydrate` controls.

Harness:
- G-H1: getChunkComponent (chunk must export exactly one function) is
  removed. renderChunk(parent, chunkId, chunk) renders the export the parent
  names in lazyRouteComponent(load, name) (new chunkExportName);
  loadClientModule's `preloaded` entries carry that `component`; the Vite dev
  tests render through the served page module and the stand-in
  lazyRouteComponent (which records `exportName`).
- G-H2: the default jsxToText runtime renders intrinsic props (not
  children/key) as JSON with sorted keys, functions as "<function>". Whole
  package still green; two expectations now show the attributes (input
  value/onChange, use xlink:href).
- G-H3: compileHydrate also returns `chunkIds`; sm "directive prologue" and
  "chunk does not import what only a server fn handler uses" assert on the
  chunk as the bundler compiles it (compileFirstChunk).
- G-H4: the generated-names probes (hydrate-captures, known-bugs-hydrate)
  read a captured local, so capture names are collision-tested too.

Findings:
- sm:99 stale `h` deleted (tsc: TS2322 'h' does not exist on HydrateProps);
  covered by sm conditionals/callbacks, bf nested boundaries, sm split={false}
  nested ids.
- sm:110 split="true" row dropped (tsc: TS2322 string not assignable to
  boolean); the `split` shorthand row stays.
- sm:179 computed key from a binding named fallback deleted (mutant shape);
  covered by sm computed-key prefetch row and bf "a computed fallback key".
- sm:273 reassigned spread: `let opts: HydrateOptions = { when: idle() }`,
  reassigned under `props.eager` (tsc: accepted).
- sm:641+651 merged: children are required (tsc: TS2322 on the empty forms),
  so the boundaries render nothing and keep `when`, or a compile error names
  Hydrate.
- bf forms: when="visible" / when: 'visible' -> visible() (tsc: TS2322
  string not assignable to HydrateWhen).
- bf split="false": kept in place or rejected clearly (tsc: TS2322).
- bf `false satisfies/as boolean` pins deleted (fuzzer shapes).
- bf Solid function child goal deleted (solid-js 1.9 JSX.Element has no
  function member; shared docs list function-as-children as rejected).
- bf useId?.() row dropped; React.useId() pin kept.
- bf `Link as Hydrate` row dropped (react-start/start-client-core export no
  Link).
- bf "chunk loaded after its source module was invalidated" deleted; covered
  by hydrate-build "Vite dev server: a chunk requested before its parent
  module renders the children, and an edit reaches it".
- cap/kb bare `<Hydrate prefetch>` -> prefetch={idle()} (tsc: TS2322 true not
  assignable).
- kb `<Hydrate {...props}></Hydrate>` -> self-closing; the comment-only body
  next to a children prop row deleted (tsc accepts it, contrived; the
  children-prop rows cover the bug).
- kb own `this` of a function expression typed `this: { prefix: string }`
  (tsc: TS2683 implicit any this).
- kb Route exported as default / under a string name rows and the unexported
  Route pin deleted (a route module exports Route by name); the "unexported
  component named Route" pin covers the removal.
- kb nested var: `try { var label = JSON.parse('"nested"') } catch {}`.
- kb let only assigned: `renders = 1` (tsc: TS2322 string to number).
- kb JSX pragma: `/** @jsx jsx */` from an @emotion/react stub.
- kb rejection-matcher and await fixtures import `loadData` (no clash with
  the `load` strategy).

Pins: every pin of the five files was run without .fails before and after
this change; all 66 remaining still fail, with the same first error (code
frame line numbers shift by one). The spread-children row now shows the
unused chunk (html renders), its Impact comment says so.

Missing coverage 1 (compiled Hydrate through real React): already covered by
e2e/react-start/deferred-hydration (real Vite/Rsbuild builds, real Hydrate
and react-dom, dev and prod, console errors fail the test); no unit test
added.

Subject: [PATCH 0362/1425] test(react-start-rsc): realistic RSC CSS inputs,
 neutral plain-data model

Apply audit G (RSC CSS slice).

- rsc:322 rows `<Card />!` and `(<><Card /></>) satisfies unknown` dropped.
  tsc: `renderToReadableStream(<Card />!)` is a TSX parse error (TS1005);
  the satisfies row type-checks but is a fuzzer shape (coordinator decision
  N3). `(<Card />)` and `<Card /> as any` stay.
- rsc:343 the `renderServerComponent(<Card />, { alreadyConfigured: true })`
  part removed: the second argument is internal (tsc: TS2554 "Expected 1
  arguments, but got 2" against @tanstack/react-start/rsc). Identifier,
  conditional and spread arguments stay.
- rsc:450 plain-data model made neutral (user ruling 2026-10-18: TO BE
  DECIDED): keeps the `{ card: 'card' }` payload assertion, drops the
  no-warning requirement.
- rsc:508 Rsbuild dev: the card is a .tsx module rendering
  `renderServerComponent(<p>OLD_CARD</p>)` (React JSX runtime stand-in added),
  not a string.

Subject: [PATCH 0363/1425] test(router-generator): route file upkeep through
 generate(), transform unit suite out of the corpus
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Audit D H6: transform.test.ts drives the internal ../src/transform module
with hand-built RouteNodes, so a rewrite with no user-visible difference
fails it. It moves to tests/outside-compiler-corpus/transform.test.ts (header
"Not part of the compiler test corpus"), and the route file upkeep it
covers is re-expressed in tests/route-file-upkeep.test.ts through full
generator runs, reading the file back and evaluating it: id fixed through
cast options, double-quoted and template-literal ids, aliased Route export,
export lists, a second non-exported route call, .ts angle-bracket
assertions (#7341); root route files (createRootRoute,
createRootRouteWithContext, export list) left byte for byte; constructor
switches both ways (semicolon import, type specifier, multi-line import);
the right constructor when the id is already right (5 rows); missing
constructor import added on its own line (LF, CRLF, single line, next to
another package's import, next to an aliased or a namespace import,
semicolon style); type imports stay type-only; stale imports of the other
constructor (CRLF, BOM + astral characters, trailing whitespace, same-line
import, semicolons, untouched declaration, aliased constructor); Route
re-exports / app route factories left as they are; ids the generator
cannot rewrite and malformed route calls reported by file name (failed run,
or a warning with the file untouched).

Coordinator ruling on D ASK-1 (removing an unused import of the other
route constructor is allowed, not required): every stale-import test, in
the corpus file and in the moved unit suite (transform:203 CRLF, :625 BOM,
:772 rows 2-4, :916, :932, :946, :984, :997), accepts the import kept or
dropped, and always checks that the file evaluates, has the right id,
binds the right constructor once and keeps its non-import code.

Audit D rows applied to the moved unit suite:
- transform:50 through parentheses: deleted (0 of ~50k corpus files wrap
  the constructor or the id in parentheses).
- transform:511 redeclared `var Route` twice: deleted (0 corpus files with
  two `var Route = create...Route(` declarations).
- transform:823 export-list helper `no-route-export`: deleted (internal
  result code); known-bugs "a route file without a Route export is left
  out with a warning" row 2 covers it through a run.
- transform:829 `export let Route` without initializer: row dropped (0
  corpus files); the Route-from-another-binding row stays.
Not re-expressed in the corpus (kept in the unit suite only): the
parenthesized call `((createFileRoute('/old'))({}))` and the
multi-declarator export (0 corpus files each), the default import of the
router package (the package has no default export), and two exported
Route bindings (not a valid module).

Also: literal BOM characters typed into generator-options.test.ts and the
new file are written as  escapes.

Subject: [PATCH 0364/1425] test(router-generator): renaming a route file in
 dev, both event orders

Audit D missing coverage 2: a rename or move reaches a running generator
as a delete and a create event, in either order, queued before the first
run completes (Generator.run events). Three renames (top-level file,
child route to another param name, file moved into a directory under its
layout), each with the delete or the create event first: the route tree
is the one a fresh run writes, its routes are the expected ones, and the
moved file gets the id of its new path. All pass on main.

Subject: [PATCH 0365/1425] test(router-generator): generated route trees
 loaded by the real router

Audit D missing coverage 1: two generated apps (file-based: flat,
directory, layout, pathless, group, lazy, lazy-only, optional param, splat,
escaped and non-nested routes; and a virtual route config with layouts, an
index and a physical mount) are loaded with the real @tanstack/react-router
(createRouter): the ids, full paths and `path` options of
router.routesById equal what the shared route tree helpers read from the
tree with their router stub (urlsOf, routePathsOf). This validates the
helpers (H1-H3) the other tests rely on. Vue's router is not a dependency
of the package, so only React is checked.

Subject: [PATCH 0366/1425] test(router-plugin): apply the final audit to the
 code-splitter and build tests

Audit B (audit-final/B.md), B-H4/B-H5 and the coordinator decisions.

Deleted (checked):
- code-splitter-idempotence.test.ts (:98, :111, router plugin registered
  twice): Wave B ruling, compiling Start/router output again is
  unsupported (coordinator decision). The harness `instances` option it
  alone used is removed.
- dead-code:173 (ReferenceError of a let read before its declaration):
  tsc TS2448/TS2454 reproduced; dead-code:120 covers initializers running.
- route-options:67 (repeated split key): tsc TS1117 reproduced.
- route-options:125 (var Route in a block), scope:448 (a < b > (c)),
  scope:492 (printer edge cases), robustness:9 (hashbang route file):
  valid syntax but fuzzer-shaped, no route file is written so. scope:448
  is replaced by "splits a route file with JSX" for .js/.jsx/.mjs.

Fixed:
- dead-code:267: no longer requires the route module to keep importing
  `bar` (Babel DCE rule); still requires `used` to leave it.
- imports-exports:172: D9 comment (assert support can be dropped).
- imports-exports:234/:252: a real importer gets the re-exported import /
  destructured export (P1); getStuff is a declared import. Run-once of the
  destructuring is the existing kb pin ("a destructuring with one exported
  binding"), which this test found red again, so it is not repeated here.
- imports-exports:317: getParentRoute returns an imported root route.
- imports-exports:944: legacy decorators from tsyringe/mobx field
  decorators; every emitted module must parse with Babel
  decorators-legacy (instead of a regex on the printed code).
- module-state:78: both chunks see one A and one B; :358: realistic
  self-replacing lazy getter, created once, one identity (the old input
  assigned to a function declaration, TS2630); :994: no initialiser timing
  (atLoad dropped); the route module imports ./init only if it creates the
  store; :1023: loading the notFoundComponent chunk creates nothing (D5),
  whatever the route module does.
- plugin-pipeline:156: the error names splitBehavior and the route id.
- plugin-pipeline:185/:199 (B-H4): real @vitejs/plugin-react 6 instances
  before the router plugin are refused naming the package, after it are
  accepted; the unreachable "router plugin not in config" half is gone.
  swc/oxc rows stay name-only (packages not installed).
- plugin-pipeline:264: Vue's Route.useLoaderData returns a Ref (checked in
  vue-router/src/useLoaderData.tsx), so the Vue row reads `.value`.
- plugin-pipeline:311: non-route modules: one module, same imports, valid,
  same evaluated exports, instead of identical text.
- plugin-pipeline:388: no stray trailing 'use server'; :428: only the loc.
- route-options:79/:101: pendingComponent: null is a type error (TS2322
  reproduced) -> undefined; errorComponent: null (accepted by the types)
  added. :508: methods only (no getter/setter). :954: registerRoute(Route)
  from a module of the app. :985: 'use no memo' on a component.
- scope:231: valid intrinsic attributes; <A /> reaches a component prop,
  so the test sees it rendered.
- build-harness.test:107 (esbuild, D3 (c)): split and rendered, or a
  build error / warning naming esbuild and autoCodeSplitting. Run without
  .fails: red for placement (component eager).
- build-source-maps:214: the rspack/webpack rows fail with line 3 instead
  of 5 (unplugin drops the map); with a loader passing an identity map in
  front of unplugin's (what an upstream fix gives), all four pass. Kept as
  pins, comment updated.
- B-H5/A-H6: router-plugin tests/build-harness.ts header no longer claims
  apps inherit "sideEffects": false.

Kept: build-production:233 is the one "default build prints no debug
output" test. pragmas:50 untouched (D-04).

The pin was run once without .fails: red with "';' expected" in the
generated route tree (unescaped import specifier and route id).

Subject: [PATCH 0368/1425] test(router-generator): generated apps type-check
 with the real compiler

Audit D missing coverage 3 (generated types never type-checked): the two
real-router apps also type-check as a whole with the real TypeScript
compiler and @tanstack/react-router types (route files' ids against the
tree's FileRoutesByPath augmentation), and the keys of the tree's
FileRoutesById are the ids of router.routesById.

Subject: [PATCH 0370/1425] test(router-plugin): Rsbuild production row in the
 router build matrix

H10: the "rspack" rows build with raw Rspack, not Rsbuild. buildWithRsbuild
(router-plugin tests/build-harness.ts) builds a React client app for
production with createRsbuild() and its defaults, the router plugin of
Rspack added through tools.rspack.plugins as an Rsbuild app does. Only
differences: React's automatic JSX runtime is set as pluginReact() sets it
(@rsbuild/plugin-react is not installed), no HTML page, and ES module
output so run() can load the app in Node (an entry assigns the test
entry's exports to a global, like Start's harness).

Rows added:
- build-harness.test: control, a split component loads lazily and renders.
- build-production: no dev-only code and no absolute path, with and
  without code splitting, NODE_ENV unset (both pass: Rsbuild is not hit by
  the Rspack/webpack NODE_ENV pin).
- known-bugs "page code in client builds": Rsbuild next to Vite, Rspack and
  webpack, both side-effect hints. Controls pass (placement lazy, page
  renders); every pin run once without .fails is red for its bug on
  Rsbuild too (placement eager / eager+lazy with the page rendering,
  DanglingNameError for the displayName case, root error/notFound eager,
  unread export in the chunk, destructured options neither lazy nor
  reported).

Subject: [PATCH 0371/1425] test(router-plugin): React and route-file state in
 the framework build matrix; .jsx route builds

Missing coverage from audit B (ranked 1 and 2):
- build-frameworks: React joins Solid and Vue on Vite, Rspack and webpack
  (SSR and client): the split component loads lazily and renders, the
  bundle holds only React, and module state is initialised once. The
  route now also declares state of its own that its options and the
  split component read (created once, one value), next to the imported
  module's state.
- robustness: a .jsx route file is generated, split and rendered in Vite,
  Rspack and webpack client builds, with a binding the loader and the
  split component share.

Subject: [PATCH 0373/1425] test(router-plugin): route HMR hot updates run
 React Refresh and show the new code

Audit C, harness H1 (Proposal A + B), and the route-hmr / known-bugs-route-hmr
findings.

Harness (H1, H2, H3, H5):
- hotUpdate runs the real react-refresh/runtime (fresh per update, new
  router-plugin devDependency react-refresh ^0.18.0, already in the lockfile
  through @rspack/plugin-react-refresh; lockfile regenerated with pnpm install
  --no-frozen-lockfile). Each module registers its components under its id
  ($RefreshReg$ / $RefreshSig$ per module), Vite boundaries follow Vite (a
  literal import.meta.hot.accept( or @vitejs/plugin-react's accept on modules
  that register components; plugin-react's real
  validateRefreshBoundaryAndEnqueueUpdate check), webpack/Rspack boundaries
  follow the refresh plugins' executeRuntime, a self-invalidating module
  passes the update to its importers, then performReactRefresh.
  update.render(option) renders as React does after the refresh
  (resolveForRender), update.remounted(option) reports remounts (replaced
  component or stale hook signature). The page loads the route's lazy
  component before the edit; a lazy module first loaded after the edit is
  the edited one. refresh defaults to true for React routes (explicit
  refresh: false for the webpack-without-React-Refresh pin). Vite + Solid/Vue
  throws (their refresh plugins only run in a real dev server). Router is a
  client router (H3).
- Controls (regression-helpers.test.ts): an edited component renders its
  new body without a remount (vite/webpack x split/unsplit), adding a hook
  remounts, a renamed component is not a new version (negative control),
  webpack without React Refresh renders the first body, and the Vite model
  agrees with a real Vite dev server + @vitejs/plugin-react on hot update vs
  reload (split, unsplit, .ts, factory-built options).
- Proposal B: vite-hot-update.ts editRouteFile (real dev server with the
  framework plugin; messages, update boundaries, reimports). New dev deps:
  @vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx (catalog).

route-hmr.test.ts:
- split routes: bodies per version; live === previous, new body renders, no
  remount; new row with loader and component in one chunk; add/remove a split
  option; component reading Route renders "/posts new".
- Solid/Vue split + unsplit rows: webpack style, new text renders.
- D10 pins: real Vite with vite-plugin-solid / @vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx (no
  full reload, the update re-imports the split chunk) + identity kept.
  Verified red without .fails: "client: full-reload *" (both).
- root route: renders new body without remount; shellComponent removed from
  the file-route list (tsc: TS2353 'shellComponent' does not exist on
  createFileRoute options, audit claim reproduced); the file-route "adds a
  shell component" test is replaced by root-route rows that add / edit /
  remove shellComponent (decision rp:1304).
- unsplit routes: every component option renders its new body in place.
- factory-built options: webpack row passes; vite row is a NEW pin (route
  module without registered components is no Vite boundary, same root cause
  as the .ts pin; real Vite agrees, see control). Verified red: invalidated.
- real Vite (missing coverage 2): a split component edit is a hot update
  that re-imports ?tsr-split=component; editing a value the loader and the
  component share is a hot update.
- tsr.config.json (P1): evaluated in the page; Solid installs no React
  Refresh hooks on window, React does (control row).
- A1: one "no debug output by default" dev test kept; the Solid row and the
  TSR_VITE_DEBUG=start-plugin-core test moved to
  tests/outside-compiler-corpus/route-hmr-debug-output.test.ts.

known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts:
- deleted the `(() => <p>hi</p>)!` row (tsc accepts it: valid TS; deleted as
  fuzzer-shaped per coordinator decision, as any / satisfies rows cover it).
- hot pin: loadRoute + render; rows for a constant and an exported constant
  (importFromRoute gets 'hot'). Verified red: Duplicate declaration "hot".
- lowercase shared component: component + notFoundComponent (two chunks)
  share page. Verified the function pin still red: Export 'SplitComponent'
  is not defined.
- hoisting pin and controls: lowercase errorFallback passed to
  ErrorBoundary FallbackComponent and errorComponent; staticData control.
  Verified red: ReferenceError: errorFallback is not defined.
- A2: deleted the getter component option pin.
- webpack without React Refresh pin: refresh: false, render. Verified red.
- Vite HMR boundaries: editRouteFile with framework plugins. Solid unsplit
  now passes with vite-plugin-solid -> control; Solid split, Vue split and
  unsplit stay pins (verified red: no hot update).

utils.test.ts: deleted (normalizePath, an internal helper; covered by
code-splitter-determinism.test.ts "a route compiled under %s splits the same
way into the same modules": Windows and backslash module ids).

Subject: [PATCH 0374/1425] test(router-plugin): realistic React Refresh rows;
 common user names next to the route HMR code

Audit C, react-refresh-route-components and router-plugin-context findings.

- "declared lowercase as ..." rows: the reassigned function declaration is
  compiled as a .jsx route file (tsc: TS2630 "Cannot assign to 'page'
  because it is a function", audit claim reproduced); the overloaded
  declaration uses React.JSX.Element (tsc: TS2503 "Cannot find namespace
  'JSX'", reproduced) and an optional prop (the required `title` overload
  was not assignable to a route component either, TS2322).
- deleted the `$page` test (the lowercase renaming rows cover it).
- A3: deleted the TSRComponent / TSRPendingComponent collision tests (they
  fed today's generated names as user code); added "route HMR code next to
  user bindings with common names": a route file's hotData and
  handleRouteUpdate keep their values and the route hot-updates (code
  splitting on/off x vite/webpack). A user `hot` stays pinned in
  known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts.
- deleted "declares hoisted components before the route that uses them"
  (`export const page = ..., Route = createRootRoute(...)`; covered by "for
  every inline component option of a root route" (hoisting) and the
  lowercase renaming rows).
- router-plugin-context: deleted "splits parenthesized route factories,
  option values, and grouping arrays" (tsc accepts it, but nobody writes
  `(createFileRoute('/x'))({ component: (C) ... })`; separate groupings are
  covered by code-splitter-route-options.test.ts, a parenthesized option
  value by react-refresh-route-components "a parenthesized arrow function").

Subject: [PATCH 0375/1425] test(router-plugin): handle-route-update keeps the
 lazy options the route tree gave the route

Audit C, handle-route-update:349: the edited route file called
`.lazy(newImporter)` itself, which a route file never does (the generated
route tree applies `.lazy(() => import('./x.lazy'))`). Now the route tree
gives the route its lazy options, the route's file is edited (new loader),
and once the lazy chunk loads the live route has both the new loader and
the lazy component. Each edited route file now creates its route with the
route's own id instead of always `createFileRoute('/hot')`.

Subject: [PATCH 0376/1425] test(start-plugin-core): make the build harness
 Start stub match the runtime

- Drop `inputValidator` from the stand-in `createServerFn` builder: the
  runtime has no such method (grep of start-client-core/src: only
  `validator`), so a test calling it would pass against a removed API.
- The client (`browser` export condition) gets a `createMiddleware` whose
  `.server()` throws, so a client build that keeps a middleware's server
  side fails at runtime instead of recording it. Verified with a scratch
  build (Vite and Rsbuild): client throws, SSR records. Full package suite
  unchanged (1537 pass / 368 xfail).

Audit: E2 harness, E1-H4.

Subject: [PATCH 0377/1425] test(start-plugin-core): apply audit F to the
 import-protection dev tests

- start-apps (F-H1): pass the provider environment to the Start compiler
  (environments/providerEnvName), so rsc modules are Start-compiled. Adds
  violationTexts/expectMarkerViolation (ASK-1 ruling: either location,
  report names both modules).
- dev:754 onViolation false: drop the mock assertion (locked in the bug);
  NEW dev pin "returning false allows the import: the client gets the real
  module" (red: expected [] to equal ['/src/secret.server.ts']).
- dev:776: behavior "error" + onViolation false stays a control; NEW pin
  for the denied file getting the real module (same red reason).
- dev:990: ASK-1 (a): require 'server src/a.ts:2:27'; any other report at
  the marker.
- dev:1510/:1577: same-path controls (Start's dev client entry reaches
  src/client.tsx; a request runs the app's server entry).
- dev:1823: no timer; the router entry is released when the bundle loads
  the denied file. Still kills spc:4670 (verified).

Subject: [PATCH 0378/1425] test(start-plugin-core): accept a build error or
 distinct ids for colliding custom ids

start-build-determinism "with colliding custom ids": a `generateFunctionId`
that gives two server fns the same id may fail the build with an error
naming the id, or keep today's behaviour (distinct ids, each client id runs
its own handler in the SSR build, SSR ids equal client ids). Silently
running the wrong handler still fails. Passes on main (Vite and Rsbuild).

Audit: E2 start-build-determinism:91 (coordinator ruling 2026-10-18).

Subject: [PATCH 0379/1425] test(start-plugin-core): move manifest and
 define-only option tests out of the compiler corpus

- start-build-manifest: the two start manifest tests (component chunk
  preloads, page stylesheet links) move to
  tests/outside-compiler-corpus/start-build-manifest.test.ts with the same
  app; the client route tree tests (route-tree pruning) stay.
- start-build-options: serverFns.base + router.basepath (2 rows) and both
  server.build.staticNodeEnv tests (with the Rsbuild `.fails` pin, bug
  recorded in FOLLOWUPS "Product issues") move to
  tests/outside-compiler-corpus/start-build-options.test.ts. They guard
  build-time defines (TSS_SERVER_FN_BASE, NODE_ENV), no compiler job.
- start-build-options router.codeSplittingOptions (2 rows): besides the
  placement, the client and SSR builds run the route's loader
  ('MARK_LOADER') and preloaded component ('MARK_COMPONENT').

Audit: E2 start-build-manifest:215/:231, start-build-options:121/:220/:236
(MOVE-OUT), start-build-options:268 (FIX).

Subject: [PATCH 0380/1425] test(start-plugin-core): delete the prerender build
 test

start-build-prerender "prerender.enabled prerenders every static page":
prerendering is out of scope for the compiler corpus (user ruling
2026-10-18) and the test mocks `../src/prerender` internals, so it guards
nothing through a public entry. Remnant for a possible router-generator
test: route props detection (`createFileRouteProps.has('component')`).

Audit: E2 start-build-prerender:82 (DELETE).

Subject: [PATCH 0381/1425] test(start-plugin-core): check Vite dev factory
 edits by running the client fn

- "client: a module importing a factory that stops being one keeps its
  handler": instead of looking for `db.x()` in printed code, the client
  first loads no server code (MARK_DB_SECRET in no served module) and its
  `fn` is a client RPC (throws "client RPC"); after `src/b.ts` becomes a
  plain object, the client's `fn` runs and resolves 'MARK_DB_SECRET'.
- "SSR: an edit of a module only the handler reads": keeps the no
  full-reload assertion and the new handler result; drops the requirement
  of an `ssr: update` payload (user ruling 2026-10-18: no full reload where
  feasible, no server-state requirement; how Vite avoids the reload is its
  business).

Audit: E2 start-compiler-dev-server:23 (FIX), :203 (ASK, ruled).

Subject: [PATCH 0382/1425] test(start-plugin-core): apply audit F to the
 import-protection build tests

- build:108 both markers: assert the error names src/both.ts, server-only
  and client-only (not the undocumented phrase).
- build:174/:195 (ASK-1 (a)): the one report names the marked module and
  its importer (src/entry.ts / src/server.ts), located at the marker line
  (Vite 1:8, Rsbuild 1:9) or at the importer's use.
- build:556: the Vite marked-module row is a passing "client gets the real
  module" row; the build-succeeds control covers the pinned rows only.
- build-options:229: assert the printed "Denied by" line names /^db-lib$/
  (not the undocumented info.pattern).
- build-options:329: runs on both bundlers, ASK-1 location; Rsbuild pin
  (red: the build succeeds, "expected the promise to reject").
- build-options: replacement of rsbuild/import-protection.test.ts:16, "by
  default, the server-only marker of a dependency is not checked" (docs:
  node_modules skip file-pattern + marker checks). Passes on Rsbuild; NEW
  Vite pin (red: reports 'client node_modules/db-lib/index.js').
- build-options:353 marker row: marker line or importer use (ASK-1), report
  names both modules.
- build-options:565: drop not.toContain('src/entry.ts') (cut unspecified).
- build-options:610 TSR_IMPORT_PROTECTION_PERF: deleted (perf plumbing,
  INTERNALS-only, nothing a user sees in the compiler corpus).

Subject: [PATCH 0383/1425] test(start-plugin-core): make the Start router dev
 tests outcome-level and robust

- "the client route tree follows the edits": each change of the client
  route tree may reach the client as a full reload or as a hot update the
  route tree (`/src/routeTree.gen.ts`) takes part in (user ruling
  2026-10-18: never require a full reload). The router generator handles
  the edit in the background, so its message can arrive after `edit()`
  returned (the wave-2 flake "expects a full reload that did not arrive"
  at the server-only -> page step): the test now waits, bounded at 10 s,
  for the change among all client messages since the edit. The route tree
  contents and "server-only edit sends nothing to the client" checks stay.
- "the client route module of a split page route takes part in HMR":
  instead of matching `import.meta.hot` in printed code, the test applies
  the hot update of an edited page route the way Vite's HMR client does
  (new module evaluated with the old hot data, old accept callback called)
  and checks that the live route runs the new loader and keeps its split
  component. The audit's proposal (a client `update` with
  /src/routes/page.tsx and no full reload) is not reachable in this
  harness: without a framework refresh plugin Vite does not see the
  route's `hot.accept` alias and full-reloads (audit claim "expected to
  pass on main" not reproduced; React apps get the boundary from
  @vitejs/plugin-react, which start-plugin-core does not depend on).
  Kills: client `addHmr: false` in vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts
  (verified, reverted).

Audit: E2 start-router-dev-server:31 (FIX + robustness), :121 (FIX).

Subject: [PATCH 0384/1425] test(start-plugin-core): realistic
 import-protection locations on four channels

- F-H3: the realistic analysis.usage rows run in the reported-location
  four-channel harness (Vite dev, Rsbuild dev, Vite and Rsbuild builds):
  a middleware variable's .server and a builder variable's .handler are
  not reported; a look-alike `myServerFn.handler` and
  createIsomorphicFn().client on the client are reported at the use.
  Deleted from analysis.usage (covered by those rows): "the handler of a
  server fn builder variable", "the server of a middleware variable",
  "createIsomorphicFn().client" (client), and the look-alike test.
  The harness now returns [] for a build without violations and fails on
  unrelated build/compile errors.
- NEW Rsbuild pin: a look-alike `*ServerFn.handler` callback is skipped by
  name (/ServerFn$/ in isCompilerSafeBoundaryCall), reported at compiled
  coordinates (red: dev 'webpack:/src/a.tsx:3:1', build 'src/a.tsx:5:42').
- analysis.usage:263/:282: any real use is a correct location ([2, 3]).
- analysis.usage:301: realistic forms instead of an IIFE argument (tsc:
  TS2345, a string is not a server fn) and parenthesized callees (valid TS,
  unrealistic): handler(withAuth(async () => ...)), handler((...) as any),
  createClientOnlyFn((...) satisfies () => unknown) (all type-check).
- reported-location:274: middle trace steps on their line, any column.
- reported-location:407: the module imports the app's own client entry
  src/client.tsx back (not the harness file); Rsbuild pin still red
  (one-step trace ['src/b.ts']).
- exemptions: the "gets the mock" controls require the mock's text, not
  any non-real string (a 'throws: ...' passed).
- known-bugs:394: same-config control for the Rsbuild dev .page pins.
- build-options perf-report test moved to
  tests/outside-compiler-corpus/import-protection-perf.test.ts (debug
  output, per the coordinator ruling on debug tests).

Subject: [PATCH 0385/1425] test(start-plugin-core): check the #8554 dev pin
 and its control by loading the client

- known-bugs-dev-server "a server fn module calling a function of a denied
  file/specifier at the top level": instead of "transform resolves to a
  string", the client loads `src/a.ts` as the browser does: no served
  module has the denied file's code (MARK_REQUEST_SECRET), and the client's
  server fn has a string `functionId`. The control passes; the pin stays
  red for #8554 (run without `.fails`: "[vite] The "code" property of
  ModuleInfo is not supported.").
- "names imported from a denied specifier are mocks": the import
  `"get-headers" as getHeaders` names no export of the real
  `@tanstack/react-start/server` (verified in the source:
  start-server-core/src/request-response.ts exports getRequest,
  getRequestHeader, setCookie; no "get-headers" anywhere); it is now
  `getRequestHeader as getHeader`, with `server.setCookie` kept. Its
  `export *` pin row is unchanged and still red.

Audit: E2 known-bugs-dev-server:251/:274 (FIX), :384 (FIX).

- analysis.exports:50 empty export name "" pin: deleted (fuzzer-only input;
  tsc accepts `export { x as "" }`, but no realistic module exports it).
- analysis.exports:320 `import(('denied'))`: deleted (the literal dynamic
  import is covered by utils.test.ts getImportSources "import('./lazy')").
- analysis.exports:139 re-exports: no Object.keys equality (P1); the
  per-name mock check proves presence. :175: `'value' in module`.
- rewrite:132 weak `export * as ns` pin (toBeDefined): deleted, covered by
  known-bugs.test.ts "a denied namespace re-export keeps its exported name".
- rewrite:281 `__tss_deny_0` declared by the module: deleted (generated
  name, not user input).
- rewrite:90/:145/:216: toMatchObject on the module; loaded/mocksLoaded
  stay exact.
- sourceLocation:426 `createServerFn()[handler]` row: deleted (valid TS,
  unrealistic).
- virtualModules:245 Rsbuild mock-runtime payload: deleted, covered by
  rsbuild/import-protection.test.ts "Rsbuild dev: mockAccess" (real dev
  server, error/warn/off).
- rsbuild/import-protection:16/:30/:48 getRsbuildResolvedImportProtectionCheck
  unit tests: deleted, covered by the build-options excludeFiles table and
  the build marker rows on Rsbuild (and the new default-markers row).
- rsbuild/import-protection:122: drop the undocumented info.behavior; the
  warnings-vs-errors channel is the outcome.
- F-H4: Rsbuild dev with Start's whole plugin reports and mocks a server
  import of a .client file (passes on main).

Subject: [PATCH 0387/1425] test(start-plugin-core): app-level twins of the
 import-protection mock pins

Missing coverage 1 (audit F): each pin that only existed on an internal
function (rewriteDeniedImports, mock-module generators) gets a real-app
twin on a Vite dev server (mock mode) and in Vite and Rsbuild mock-mode
builds. Outcome: what `entry.read()` returns, and no real code in the
client bundle. Pins verified red by one run without .fails:
- `export * as secrets from './secret.server'` in an importer: Vite dev
  (SyntaxError: no export 'secrets'); builds pass.
- a denied file with `export * as helpers`: Vite and Rsbuild builds
  (MISSING_EXPORT / ESModulesLinkingError); Vite dev passes.
- a denied file exporting `delete` used as `api.delete()`: all three
  (parse errors on `export const delete`).
- a namespace member read in a function declared before the import (denied
  specifier): Vite dev and build (`db.query is not a function`); Rsbuild
  passes.
- enum + namespace exports of a denied file: NEW Rsbuild bug, the real enum
  value ships in a mock-mode production build (Rsbuild's
  collectTypeScriptInfo.exportedEnum inlines `Color.Red`; verified by a
  scratch build with exportedEnum: false, which mocks it). Vite passes.
- a JSX pragma leading a denied import passes everywhere (default JSX is
  compiled before the rewrite); kept as passing coverage.
`delete` stands for the reserved-name bug (eval/arguments are not
realistic export names).

Subject: [PATCH 0389/1425] test(start-plugin-core): run the Rsbuild dev
 factory edits through Start's plugin and the client

- rsbuild/dev-server "every module importing a factory from %s that
  stops being one keeps its handler" (2 rows): instead of counting
  `db.x()` in printed output, the client calls both fns (entry
  `globalThis.run`) and gets ['MARK_DB_SECRET', 'MARK_DB_SECRET'].
- "... that becomes one loads no server code" (2 rows): also checks that
  calling the fns in the client goes to the server (client RPC).
- Both now run on Start's whole Rsbuild plugin
  (`startRsbuildStartDevServer`: client and SSR environments, import
  protection) instead of the compiler transforms on the client alone. The
  dependency is `src/db.ts`, not `src/db.server.ts`: import protection
  mocks a `.server` file in the client (and awaiting the mock, a thenable
  that resolves to itself, blocks the process).
- "the server fn ids do not come from generateFunctionId": drops the
  `generated` calls check (whether the dev server calls the generator is a
  mechanism); keeps "no id is custom-".
- New helper `runInClient(server, script)` in rsbuild-dev-server.ts
  (additive).

Audit: E2 rsbuild/dev-server:66 (FIX), :151 (FIX), harness note
(startRsbuildDevServer is not Start's plugin).

Subject: [PATCH 0390/1425] test(start-plugin-core): run evaluated Start
 modules on the real runtime

Harness (E1 H1-H3, H7; 2026-10-18 ruling "test infrastructure must not
re-implement other tools"): evaluated modules now link
`@tanstack/<framework>-start` to the real `@tanstack/start-client-core`
(createServerFn, createMiddleware, createStart, env-only and isomorphic
factories) and `/server-rpc` to the real `createServerRpc`
(tests/start-runtime.ts). The hand-written runtime stub is gone: handlers
now run as Start runs them (`options.serverFn(ctx)`, ctx with data,
context, method and serverFnMeta, async middleware `next` passing context
on, middleware and server fn validators), provider handlers answer
`{ result }` / `{ error }` (helpers unwrap with `serverFnResult`), and
`serverFnMeta` replaces the stub's `meta`.

Stand-ins kept (Start cannot run them in-process): the request context
(storage falls back to an empty request), the client RPC (Start's own
metadata, no fetch), the SSR RPC's server-fn resolver (createServerGraph).
`callerRpcId` reads a caller's RPC id; `callFromClient` runs a client
caller through the real client middleware into the provider handler.
Hand-built builder stubs in tests are replaced by the real builder.

E1 findings applied here (tsc checks against start-client-core types):
- createMiddleware:53/185/202/243/255/288: rewritten to valid chains.
  tsc: createMiddleware().client / .validator -> TS2339; .server().client
  -> TS2339 (FunctionMiddlewareAfterServer); createMiddleware({ id }) ->
  TS2353; createStart(() => {}) -> TS2345.
- exports-and-directives:42 per-name checks, `named` instead of a string
  export name; :139 export-list line deleted (:158 covers); :276/:283/:305
  redeclared-var tests deleted (D13 goal pin added in declaration-sites);
  :398/:418 directive tests deleted (compiler.test.ts module-directive test
  covers the configured directive).
- handler-scope:83 `typeof this` dropped (Start calls the handler as a
  method of its options; tsc accepts `this: unknown`); :107 object method
  through a named object; :150 `as unknown as` cast (tsc ok).
- declaration-sites:36 clear-rejection regex; :134 top-level switch/block
  placements deleted (+ their KB pins); :169 result toMatch
  function|object; :203 SERVER_SECRET marker; :227 optional-chain pin
  accepts a clear error or the RPC path; new D13 goal pin: two functions
  each declaring `const fn`.
- createServerFn:172 finds the provider handler by id and runs it.
- caller-dead-code: client middleware observed by calling from the client.
- Missing coverage 3: a valid full middleware chain on client and SSR.

hydrate-split-modules.test.ts: its click stub reads the RPC id from
Start's caller metadata (one line; the client RPC is now Start's own).

Pins: every remaining .fails pin re-run as a normal test before/after;
failure reasons unchanged except the RPC-shape wording (same root cause)
and KB "ssr: a createServerOnlyFn handler still produces an RPC caller"
(now the real runtime rejects the id string the SSR output passes, was
"ssr.fn is not a function"; same compiler bug). New pins verified red:
optional chain (client left untransformed), two `const fn` functions
(client gets no RPC / provider export missing).

Subject: [PATCH 0391/1425] test(start-plugin-core): test the compiler warning
 channel on dev servers with Start's plugin

The planned D8 warning (React's RSC CSS transform) is dev-only, but only
builds tested the warning channel. With Start's whole plugin and the
`warnMe` test transform (server environment):
- Vite dev (`startDevServer({ start, compilerTransforms })`): loading
  `src/entry.ts` in the client and the server logs exactly one warning,
  naming src/warned.ts; the server runs the module. Passes on main.
- Rsbuild dev (`startRsbuildStartDevServer({ compilerTransforms })`):
  `.fails` pin, same bug as the Rsbuild build pin in this file. Verified
  red for the right reason with a temporary probe in
  rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts `warnTransformContext` (reverted): the
  transform warns on src/warned.ts, `ctx.emitWarning` is undefined, so the
  warning is dropped and `server.warnings` has none.
The build tests stay (secondary).

Harness (additive): `compilerTransforms` option on `startDevServer` (with
`start`) and `startRsbuildStartDevServer`.

Audit: E2 start-build-warnings:140 (FIX), missing coverage #2.

Subject: [PATCH 0392/1425] test(start-plugin-core): run the Vite dev
 middleware edit through Start's whole plugin

start-compiler-dev-server "the client never gets the edited .server(), and
SSR runs the new one" now mounts Start's whole Vite plugin
(`startDevServer({ start: {} })`: Start's environments, import protection,
router plugins) instead of the compiler plugin alone, as an env-separation
dev row with the real wiring. Passes on main.

Audit: E2 harness ("most dev tests do not use the full Start plugin").

Subject: [PATCH 0393/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Start production client
 builds carry no route HMR code (R7)

Start forces `addHmr: true` in its client code splitting
(vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts, rsbuild/start-router-plugin.ts), but
only router-plugin's build-production.test.ts checked that production
client output has no route HMR code. New start-build-route-hmr.test.ts:
- controls: the Vite dev client route module and the Rsbuild dev client
  output (Start's whole plugin) contain route HMR names (HMR APIs, route
  HMR data keys, React Refresh support);
- Vite and Rsbuild production builds through Start's plugins: no client
  chunk contains any of them, and the page's loader and component run.
Passes on main. Mutation check (router-plugin
router-code-splitter-plugin.ts, `addHmr` ignoring production, reverted):
the Rsbuild row fails with import.meta.webpackHot / tsr-route-id /
tsr-split-component in the client output; Vite deletes that code itself
(dead `import.meta.hot` branches), so its row passes, which is the right
outcome for users.

Audit: E2 missing coverage #1.

Subject: [PATCH 0394/1425] test(start-plugin-core): read the Rsbuild Start dev
 hot update of a server fn module

New rsbuild/dev-server test "Rsbuild dev with HMR: editing a server fn
module" on Start's whole Rsbuild plugin with `hmr: true`: after an edit of
a module with a server fn and a client function, the client's hot-update
chunk has the edited client code (MARK_LABEL_V2) and not the edited
handler (MARK_HANDLER_V2), which the SSR output has. Passes on main.

Shared harness (packages/compiler-test-utils/src/rsbuild-dev-server.ts):
`hotUpdates()` only kept `*.hot-update.js`; Start's client environment
emits ES module output (`*.hot-update.mjs`), so it returned nothing. It
now keeps `*.hot-update.{js,mjs,cjs}` chunks (manifests still excluded).
compiler-test-utils suite unchanged (167 pass).

Audit: E2 missing coverage #4.

Subject: [PATCH 0395/1425] test(start-plugin-core): one env-separation and one
 source-map row with Vite's default client target

The build harness builds for `esnext`; apps use Vite's default client
target (`baseline-widely-available`), which lowers syntax after Start's
compilers ran. With that target (through `viteConfig`):
- start-build-env-separation: a server fn handler (and its dependency) is
  only in the SSR build, which runs it; the client keeps its other code and
  calls the server (client RPC).
- start-build-source-maps: a throw in a split route component maps to its
  line in the route file (minified).
Both pass on main.

Audit: E2 missing coverage #5 (brief item 3).

Subject: [PATCH 0396/1425] test(start-plugin-core): apply the E1 audit to the
 Start compiler tests

- createIsomorphicFn: named exports read explicitly (P1), the client has
  no server implementation (SERVER_IMPL marker), declaredNames assertion on
  the neutral name dropped (ruling 2026-10-17); SSR keeps asserting it drops
  `./x.client` (ruling 2026-10-18: import-protection-denied names must go),
  client asserts it drops `./x.server`. Real runtime instead of a stub.
- clientOnlyJSX: SSR import-absence loop on neutral names dropped; the
  libraries the children use throw when called during SSR, so the test
  proves the server never evaluates the children (missing coverage 2).
- compiler.test: empty-module test in dev ("a file the user just
  emptied"); the client-only result is read inside a function;
  invalidateModule tests in dev mode; `var a = b; var b = a` row deleted
  (cycle rows at "re-export chain resolution" cover it).
- caller-dead-code: own-name local pin uses `function session() { const
  session = ... }`; label and for-init rows dropped.
- known-bugs-start-compiler: computed-member chain pins, top-level-block
  alias row, `.bind(null)` pin (rsc renderServerComponent().then() pin
  covers the root cause), parameter-shadowing pins (dup of the
  every-factory shadowing pin), `fn_createServerFn_handler` row (generated
  name), redeclared-var row and computed-member transform pin deleted;
  re-export alias pin imports from @tanstack/react-start; Vue pin uses a
  plain `<script lang="ts">` block, id `Page.vue?vue&type=script&lang.ts`
  (checked in @vitejs/plugin-vue 6.0.5 genScriptCode/attrsToQuery: lang is
  in the ignore list and appended as `&lang.ts`).
- preserves-user-code: empty destructuring pin and N3 parenthesized-JSX
  pins (incl. the Hydrate fallback one) deleted; the parenthesized-JSX
  control stays.
- factories: wrapped-chain table rewritten to valid chains (tsc:
  `.server().client()` is TS2339) with parentheses / as any / as unknown as
  T / satisfies (16 rows -> 13 passing + wrapped validator rows moved into
  the validator pin, same bug, verified red: ./check.server kept); builder
  variable control uses `.client()` then `.server()`; isomorphic
  wrapped-link pin checks client and SSR only (no provider for a module
  without a server fn); callee pin keeps `as any` only; aliased re-export
  of createClientOnlyFn checked by behaviour on the server; string export
  name row deleted. Links read from Start's real createMiddleware options.
- known-bugs-route-options: prerender pins and their controls moved to
  tests/outside-compiler-corpus/prerender-route-options.test.ts (ruling
  E1 ASK-2).

ASK-1 (ruling 2026-10-18): SSR import assertions on `.client` names kept
(factories, import-forms, KB ssr declaration control and typeof pin).

Subject: [PATCH 0397/1425] test(start-plugin-core): server builds drop
 client-only imports import protection denies

User ruling 2026-10-18 (E1 ASK-1): a default-config Start build (Vite and
Rsbuild) of a module whose `*.client.*` and client-only-marked imports are
used only by createClientOnlyFn / an isomorphic .client() reports no
import-protection violation, the server bundle holds none of their code,
and each environment runs its implementation. Negative control checked by
hand: adding a top-level use of the .client import fails the build with an
import-protection error.

Subject: [PATCH 0398/1425] test(react-start-rsc): undocumented
 renderToReadableStream inputs must not break

User ruling 2026-10-18: the second `options` argument and a plain-data
model are outside React Start's public type (`renderToReadableStream(node:
React.ReactNode)`, src/flight.stub.ts) and must not break: the compiled
call still runs, the options / model reach the runtime unchanged and a
stream is produced. CSS for them and a dev warning are not required either
way.
- The D8(a) goal pin for `renderToReadableStream(<Card />, options)` becomes
  a passing test, neutral on CSS (stream with or without it).
- rsc:450 plain-data model: checks the call and its model in dev and build,
  neutral on CSS and warnings.

Subject: [PATCH 0399/1425] test(start-plugin-core): make the Rsbuild dev
 hot-update test robust

The new "Rsbuild dev with HMR" test failed once in two full runs (and 1 of
11 repeats): the client's hot update did not have the edited code when
read. An edit can cause more than one compile (Start rewrites its server
fn resolver module, which the watcher reports), and the client's compile
can end after `edit()` returned.
- Shared harness (packages/compiler-test-utils/src/rsbuild-dev-server.ts):
  `hotUpdates()` returns the hot-update chunks of every compile since the
  last `edit()` began, not only the last compile's (a chunk a later compile
  removed is skipped). compiler-test-utils suite unchanged.
- The test waits (bounded, 10 s) for the client hot update with the edited
  client code, then checks that no hot update since the edit has the
  edited handler. 44 repeats green after the harness change.

Subject: [PATCH 0400/1425] test(start-plugin-core): save route files in
 distinct clock ticks in the Start router dev test

"the client route tree follows the edits" still failed 4 of 16 repeats
after the bounded wait: at the server-only -> page step no message ever
came and the client route tree stayed without the route. Cause: the
router generator tells route file edits apart by modification time only
(router-generator generator.ts `didFileChangeComparedToCache`), and the
kernel updates mtimes once per clock tick; the harness wrote the second
edit within the tick of the first, so the generator never saw it. A
person's saves are not that close: the test now waits 50 ms before each
save. 40 repeats green. The generator behaviour is recorded in FOLLOWUPS
(NEW, unpinned: reachability needs two saves of one route file within one
tick).

Subject: [PATCH 0401/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin the compiler/runtime
 contract; dev parity row

- start-compiler-runtime-contract.test.ts (audit E1 missing coverage 1):
  the stand-ins the harness keeps carry exactly what Start's own
  createClientRpc / createSsrRpc create (now built from them), and one
  module with a server fn, a function middleware (validator, client,
  server) and an isomorphic fn runs on Start's runtime from the client
  (callFromClient), the SSR caller and an HTTP call by id; a failing
  handler answers { error }, which the caller rethrows.
- The SSR RPC stand-ins reuse the real createSsrRpc metadata.
- factories: the first env-separation test runs in build and dev mode
  (missing coverage 4).
- Formatting and type annotations of the new harness module.

Subject: [PATCH 0402/1425] test(start-plugin-core): drop the reference to the
 deleted prerender build test

The prerendered-pages helper comment (moved from known-bugs-route-options
by the E1 audit) still said start-build-prerender.test.ts runs the
prerender step. That file was deleted in f3c5ae0575 (prerendering is out
of scope); nothing runs the step now.

Subject: [PATCH 0403/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): a real browser page on
 the Vite and Rsbuild dev-server harnesses

User ruling 2026-10-18: test infrastructure must not re-implement other tools;
route HMR tests drive the real tools. Shared, plugin-agnostic, additive:

- browser.ts (new export `./browser`): `openPage(url)` opens the page in
  Playwright's headless Chromium (one browser per test process, one context per
  page), counts page loads (a full reload loads it again), records page errors
  and console messages, and `waitForText(expected)` waits for the DOM with a
  bounded timeout and a diagnostic error. New dependency: @playwright/test
  (catalog, already a root devDependency; chromium-1243 is installed);
  lockfile regenerated with pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile.
- dev-server.ts: `browser: true` serves the app as `vite dev` does: listens on
  a free port (`url`), Vite's HMR WebSocket on, Vite's own file watcher
  reports edits (`write()`; `settle()`/`edit()` throw), dependency optimizer on
  with its cache in the app directory, `appType: 'spa'` (index.html). The
  defaults are unchanged (no watcher, no WebSocket, no dep discovery).
- rsbuild-dev-server.ts: `browser: true` listens on a free port (`url`), emits
  the HTML page, HMR (default on in this mode) and live reload. The harness
  default `hmr` stays off without `browser`.
- tests/browser.test.ts: controls for both bundlers: an update a module
  accepts applies in place (one page load), an update nothing accepts reloads
  the page (two loads).

Subject: [PATCH 0404/1425] test(router-plugin): route HMR tests drive real dev
 servers and a real page; delete the React Refresh model

User ruling 2026-10-18 ("absolutely insane"): no copies of Vite / webpack /
Rspack / React HMR or update-propagation logic in tests.

Deleted:
- tests/react-refresh-model.ts (port of @pmmmwh/react-refresh-webpack-plugin's
  executeRuntime, React's resolveFunctionForHotReloading, plugin-react's
  boundary check) and the propagation / refresh parts of `hotUpdate` in
  regression-helpers.ts (boundaries, invalidation, refresh families,
  render/remounted). `hotUpdate` keeps only our route HMR code running against
  the bundler's hot API contract (Vite accept callback gets the new module;
  webpack re-runs the module with its dispose data), as before w2-hmr.
- the react-refresh devDependency (lockfile regenerated).
- the w2-hmr pin "vite: applies route options a factory call builds" (ruling
  2026-10-18: reloading is fine); the edit now must show in the real page.
- model-only tests: route-hmr hot updates of split / root / unsplit routes and
  their React Refresh assertions, regression-helpers "with React Refresh"
  controls and "reloads the page exactly when a Vite dev server does",
  react-refresh-route-components "route HMR code next to user bindings", the
  two editRouteFile tests of route-hmr (covered by the page steps below).

New real harness (tests/route-hmr-page.ts, on compiler-test-utils `browser`):
a Vite dev server with the router plugin and @vitejs/plugin-react /
vite-plugin-solid / @vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx, or an Rsbuild dev server with the
router plugin's Rspack entry and @rsbuild/plugin-react (new devDependency,
^2.0.0 as in the e2e apps), serves a file-based app with the real router
package to headless Chromium; edits go through the dev server's own watcher;
the test reads the DOM, clicks counters (state), and gets `reloaded` (page
loads, plus Vite full-reload messages).

Ported (tests/route-hmr-browser.test.ts, Vite and Rsbuild, autoCodeSplitting
on and off, several edits per server, concurrent):
- edited component body + loader + `Route` read: new text, new loader data,
  `useState` count kept, no reload;
- a hook added: remount (count 0), no reload;
- errorComponent added / edited / removed, pendingComponent and
  notFoundComponent edited: new text, no reload (removal: text only, see pin);
- arrow component, two split components, quoted keys, loader in its own chunk,
  loader in the component chunk (Vite; Rsbuild pinned), a value loader and
  component share, user bindings named hotData / handleRouteUpdate: state kept,
  new text, no reload;
- root route: body + loader in place with state, shellComponent added /
  edited (state kept) / removed, no reload; factory-built options: the edit
  shows (reload allowed);
- Solid / Vue in Vite: the edit shows; Solid unsplit without a reload.
regression-helpers.test.ts controls (Vite and Rsbuild): a body edit keeps
state, a renamed child component loses it, an edit of a module no boundary
accepts reloads the page.
Scratch control (not committed): with the route HMR code removed
(codeSplittingOptions.addHmr: false for split routes; the route HMR plugin
patched out of router-composed-plugin.ts for unsplit routes, reverted), a
loader + component edit reloads the page and loses state on both bundlers.

Pins (known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts "route HMR in a real page", each verified
red for the right reason by one run without .fails):
- moved: D10 Solid / Vue split (red: reloaded true); without React Refresh,
  now Rsbuild with pluginReact({ fastRefresh: false }) (red: page stays v1).
- NEW: renaming the route component keeps the old one (Vite, Rsbuild x split,
  unsplit; red: page stays "Page v1").
- NEW: Rsbuild: an edit of a split loader never shows (red: "loader v1").
- NEW: Vite: removing a split option the page loaded logs "require is not
  defined" / "Failed to reload ...?tsr-split=errorComponent" (red: those two
  page errors).

Kept on the slim hotUpdate (our code only): regression-helpers hotUpdate
controls, route-hmr "the route a hot update applies to", Solid / Vue route HMR
code (now also unsplit and the new component), webpack factory options,
known-bugs "route updates", code-splitter-plugin-pipeline (dropped
`refresh: true`), code-splitter-route-options root staticData.

 - Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
 - Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: compile the route and load the emitted modules with `loadRoute` from `tests/regression-helpers.ts` (built on the module linker from `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils`), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.
 - Run behavioural tests for React, Solid and Vue through the `targetFramework` option of the test helpers.
+- Test what the page shows after a route file edit with `openRouteHmrPage` (`tests/route-hmr-page.ts`): a real dev server with the framework's plugin, a real browser page and the real HMR client. Never copy bundler, HMR-client or React Refresh logic into tests; `hotUpdate` only runs our route HMR code against the bundler's hot API.

Subject: [PATCH 0405/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Start route HMR in a real
 page; delete the hand-applied update

User ruling 2026-10-18: tests must not re-implement other tools. The
start-router-dev-server "client route module takes part in HMR" test
(spc:6046) applied the hot update "the way Vite's HMR client does": a
copied createHotContext, accept callbacks called by hand, a stub
`__TSR_ROUTER__`. Deleted.

Replacement: a real Vite dev server with Start's whole Vite plugin and
@vitejs/plugin-react (`browser: true` of the shared harness) serves an
app with the real @tanstack/react-router to headless Chromium
(`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/browser`). Vite's own watcher reports
the edits; Vite's HMR client, React Refresh and the route HMR code Start
adds apply them. After a loader-only edit and then a component edit of
the split page route, the page shows the new loader data and component,
the split component keeps its click count (no remount), there is one page
load, no full-reload message and no page error.

The page is the app's index.html, rendered on the client: Start's SSR
document needs the real @tanstack/react-start, which depends on
start-plugin-core (a workspace cycle). Start SSR + HMR in a real app stays
in e2e/react-start/hmr.

Scratch control (reverted): with `addHmr: false` in Start's client code
splitter (vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts), the test fails: the page
reloads (2 loads) and shows "count 0".

Harness: tests/dev-server.ts `realRouter` (with `start`) leaves out the
stand-in router package. New devDependencies: @tanstack/react-router
(workspace), @vitejs/plugin-react, react, react-dom (catalog); lockfile
regenerated with pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile.

Subject: [PATCH 0406/1425] test(router-plugin): React Refresh outcomes in a
 real page; delete the refresh runtime model

User ruling 2026-10-18: no copies of React HMR logic in tests.

Deleted (copies of React Refresh / plugin-react behaviour):
- regression-helpers `isRefreshable` / `expectRefreshableRouteOption`:
  modelled how React Refresh's runtime resolves memo / forwardRef to a
  registered family.
- react-refresh-route-components "a React route module compiled for Vite
  stays a Fast Refresh boundary" (6 tests): evaluated the module twice
  with one hot context and called plugin-react's
  validateRefreshBoundaryAndEnqueueUpdate by hand, as its accept glue does.
- react-refresh-route-components "React Refresh registers split route
  components" (memo / forwardRef rows) and "hoists the components of the
  module's Route when another route is created first".
- known-bugs-route-hmr "React Refresh registration": the memo(Page)
  control, the "registers an inline component written as $name" pins and
  "registers a method-shorthand component of a split route".

Replacements on the real page harness (route-hmr-page.ts, Vite +
@vitejs/plugin-react, headless Chromium):
- route-hmr-browser: a route without a component and a root route with an
  inline stateful component apply their edits in place (state kept, no
  reload), autoCodeSplitting on and off; split components written inline
  in memo / forwardRef calls, and inline components after another route
  the module creates (unsplit component, and the route module's
  pendingComponent when split), show their edits without a reload.
  `extra` is no longer exported there: an exported route object makes
  plugin-react reload the page (React Refresh boundary rule), which was
  not what the source test was about.
- known-bugs-route-hmr "route HMR in a real page": control memo(Page)
  unsplit; pins (each verified red by one run without .fails: the page
  keeps "inline v1" / "root v1", no reload) for `as any`, `satisfies`,
  memo(() => ...), forwardRef(function ...), method shorthand (unsplit and
  split) and React.memo(forwardRef(...)) on a root route.

Subject: [PATCH 0407/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): absolute app symlinks,
 ES module chunks, Temporal

Additive harness changes for Start builds that bundle Start's real runtime:

- createApp `symlinks` may point to an absolute path (a workspace package
  linked into the app's node_modules). Relative targets resolve as before.
- describeBuild `esModules`: the chunks are ES modules (the bundler's
  `output.module`), even a chunk without import or export. The dangling-name
  check of an unminified Rspack/webpack client build minifies such a chunk
  as a module, like the bundler's own minimizer does. Before, a module chunk
  without import/export was minified as a script, so its unused top-level
  code (here seroval's `const RETURN = () => T`) stayed and was reported.
- known globals: `Temporal` (browsers and Node.js 26 define it; the
  `globals` package 16.x does not list it yet). Start's serializer
  (seroval) revives Temporal values with it.

links the built workspace package (`startRuntimeLinks`), and its
dependencies (start-client-core, start-server-core, start-storage-context,
router-core, ...) resolve from its real path. The `test:unit` target now
depends on `@tanstack/react-start:build` (task-level dependsOn, no project
dependency, so no cycle). The Vite and Rsbuild dev harnesses link it too.

Stand-ins kept, only where the test process cannot run the real piece,
each checked against the real runtime:
- request context: SSR scripts and in-process server calls run in a
  `StartStorageContext` (typed against the real one) of a request to `/`
  (`inRequestContext`, `runInRequestContext`); contract test
  build-harness.test.ts "SSR scripts run in a request context that Start's
  runtime reads".
- the network: a client call's requests are observed through the call's
  public `fetch` option (`requestsOf`); contract test "a server fn is
  Start's RPC on the client ...".
- the server-fn HTTP handler: by-id calls resolve, call with
  `{ data, method }` and unwrap `{ result }`/`{ error }` like
  `handleServerAction` (`callByIdPrelude`, `callServerFnById`).
- Vite dev client evaluation loads start-client-core through Node
  (`servedStartRuntime`): the root entry imports React (CommonJS), which only
  Vite's dependency optimizer (off in the harness) serves to a browser.
- Rsbuild compiler-only dev server defines `TSS_SERVER_FN_BASE` like
  Start's plugin; its VM gets the WinterTC web APIs a browser has.
- hydrate-build keeps its own `@tanstack/react-start` (Hydrate rendered by
  a string JSX runtime); new contract test: its names are the real
  package's.

Harness realism: Vite builds run in the app's directory, as `vite build`
does (Start's plugin crawls the working directory's package.json for Start
libraries to bundle in SSR); the build harness records Rsbuild's
`output.module` for the dangling-name check.

Status changes, each investigated:
- Tests that relied on the fake (`functionId`, client RPCs throwing
  "client RPC <id>", `getServerFnById(id)({})` returning the bare result,
  middleware `.server()` stubs, uncompiled `handler(rpc)` returning `rpc`):
  rewritten to Start's real API (`serverFnMeta.id`, `url`, requests the call
  sends, `{ result }` unwrapping). The library-server-fn tests passed
  vacuously on Vite: the library stayed external and uncompiled in SSR,
  and the stand-in's uncompiled `handler(fn)` returned `fn`. The apps now
  depend on their library, as installed ones.
- Route-tree type test: the `@tanstack/react-start` d.ts stand-in is
  replaced by the real package's types.
- Pins re-verified red for the same reason (with `.fails` removed, failure
  messages compared to baseline 5d35383f02): 123 pin rows across the build,
  dev and import-protection files are unchanged. Import-protection dev pins
  load only the app's modules (Start's server package imports Start's
  entries, which only Start's whole plugin provides). Library-function
  pin (D13): SSR now also shows the uncompiled server fn (`undefined`
  instead of the stand-in's handler result).
- NEW pin (Vite): a build run from another directory leaves a Start
  library external and uncompiled in SSR (src/vite/plugin.ts:143 crawls
  `process.cwd()`, not Vite's root); verified red: the SSR call returns
  undefined. Rsbuild row passes.

Cheap stand-ins replaced as well: createMiddleware.test.ts
`middlewareFactoryStub`, known-bugs-start-compiler `middlewareStub` and the
string stubs of its dev servers, start-compiler-factories' middleware stub
now use Start's real builder (keeping a `.server()` trap where the test
needs one).

Subject: [PATCH 0409/1425] test(start-plugin-core): call server fns by id
 through Start's real server entry

User ruling 2026-10-18 (test infrastructure must not re-implement other
tools or packages). The by-id helpers mirrored Start's server-fn HTTP
handler (`handleServerAction`): resolve the id with `getServerFnById`, call
it with `{ data, method }`, unwrap `{ result }` / `{ error }`. They now send
the request a page sends to Start's own server entry:

- builds: the SSR entry exports Start's default server entry
  (`@tanstack/react-start/server-entry`) and client RPC
  (`@tanstack/react-start/client-rpc`) (`callByIdExports`); `callById` calls
  the client RPC with a `fetch` that hands a real `Request` to the server
  entry's `fetch` (`callByIdPrelude`). `handleServerAction` is not exported
  by `@tanstack/start-server-core`; `createStartHandler` (the default server
  entry) is its public way in.
- dev: `callServerFnById(server, id)` (dev-server.ts) does the same with
  the dev server's SSR environment (the server entry Start's dev middleware
  imports, `virtual:tanstack-start-server-entry`). The dev servers mount
  Start's whole Vite plugin (`start`, `realRouter`, `startServerEntryFiles`).
  The harness cannot go over HTTP: Start's dev middleware is not installed
  because compiler-test-utils and start-plugin-core resolve two copies of
  vite 8.3.4 (different sass peers), so `isRunnableDevEnvironment` fails.

Glue only: a page's browser adds `Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin`, which
Start's CSRF middleware requires (without it every call is "Forbidden"),
and the caller throws `error` / returns `result` like the client's server
fn. The old copy (`callServerFnById(getServerFnById, id)` in
build-harness.ts) is deleted. Contract test build-harness.test.ts "a
server fn is Start's RPC on the client ..." now checks the real round trip
(by id, and an unknown id rejects with "not found").

Changes needed by the real server entry:
- It renders with the real `@tanstack/react-router`, so an app with the
  router stand-in cannot load it (Vite SSR: "does not provide an export
  named 'RouterProvider'"). start-build-env-separation "each server fn of
  the client runs by its id in the SSR build" gets its own build of the
  server fn files (no routes) instead of the shared routed build.
- bundledDev tests: Start's plugin needs React Refresh
  (`@vitejs/plugin-react`), and its client entry replaces the harness's
  bundle entry, so `harness/client-entry.ts` re-exports `src/entry.ts`.
- known-bugs-start-compiler "calls a server fn id on a fresh dev server":
  the raw dev servers use Start's whole plugin (`startPlugin`,
  `startPluginFiles` now exported). Start logs the failed call's Vite
  plugin error with `console.error`; Vitest's console forwarding then ends
  the run without a report, so the test silences `console.error` during
  the call.
- Not converted: start-compiler-dev-server "a server fn provider
  environment other than SSR" (compiler plugin alone with an `rsc`
  provider; the server entry for such a setup is the framework's). It
  calls the provider's resolved server fn directly and checks
  `{ result }`, without claiming to be the HTTP handler.

Pins re-verified red for the same reason (run once without `.fails`):
- D6 "SSR: a server fn only server code references is not callable over
  HTTP" (vite, rsbuild): serverOnlyFnOverHttp is 'server-only fn' (now a
  real HTTP request), as before.
- known-bugs-dev-server "SSR: a module importing an edited factory module
  through a re-export" (2 rows): same diff as before (id 'undefined',
  byId "Invalid server function ID: undefined").
- known-bugs-start-compiler "calls a server fn id on a fresh dev server
  that has not compiled its module": same message as before ("Invalid
  server function ID: eyJ...").

Also drops a stale reason from a start-router-dev-server comment (the
real `@tanstack/react-start` is linked now).

Subject: [PATCH 0410/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): Rsbuild dev harness
 reads each compile before Rspack drops it

With Start's real runtime (real-start-build) the Rsbuild dev tests of
start-plugin-core became flaky (baseline ac3f8d5ac9: 8 of 8 runs of
tests/rsbuild/dev-server.test.ts green; real-start-build 953b24f622: 1
failure in 6; the merge: 1 in 11). Two causes, both in the shared harness:

- "Rsbuild failed to compile the app: Unable to access compilation with
  id = CompilationId(5) now": `onDevCompileDone` runs after the compile
  ended; when a later compile already started (Start rewrites its server
  fn resolver module, which the watcher reports), Rspack has dropped the
  compilation and reading `builtModules` throws. The harness now skips
  such a report: the running compile's end reports instead.
- "the client's hot update has the edited client code ...": `label` never
  showed up within 10 s. `hotUpdates()` read the hot-update chunks from
  disk, skipping those a later compile removed. It now keeps their code,
  read in each environment compiler's `done` hook while the compilation
  is alive.

`hotUpdates()` keeps its contract (the hot-update chunks of the compiles
since the last `edit()` began). 8 of 8 runs green afterwards.

Subject: [PATCH 0411/1425] test(start-plugin-core): type the server-fn file
 pick of the by-id build

`files` of the shared construct build has no index signature (TS7053 under
TypeScript 5.7 to 5.9).

Subject: [PATCH 0412/1425] build: one sass in the workspace so every package
 resolves the same vite

vite's optional peers `sass` and `sass-embedded` are resolved from whatever
versions exist anywhere in the lockfile graph. Two sass versions were in the
graph: 1.97.2 (the `^1.97.2` devDependency of the three Start css-modules
e2e apps) and 1.105.1 (pulled by `sass-embedded`, which
`@rsbuild/plugin-sass` brings into e2e/react-start/css-modules). Importers
resolved at different times got different vite peer variants: compiler-test-
utils, react-start-rsc and eslint-plugin-start got vite(sass@1.105.1), the
rest vite(sass@1.97.2). Two copies of vite break Start's
`isRunnableDevEnvironment` (instanceof) check, so Start's dev server
middleware never ran in the compiler test dev servers.

The css-modules e2e apps now ask for sass ^1.105.1, the version sass-embedded
already uses; the graph has one sass and one vite@8.3.4 (esbuild 0.28.2)
variant.

With Start's dev middleware working, the client-rendered route HMR test
turns it off explicitly (it serves index.html, not Start's SSR); the Start
dev-server harness accepts the Vite plugin options for that.

Subject: [PATCH 0413/1425] test(compiler): fast and slow test tiers

Each compiler package with real-tool tests (router-plugin,
start-plugin-core, compiler-test-utils) gets two Vitest projects: `unit`
(`test:unit`, in process; a Vite dev server in middleware mode is allowed)
and `integration` (`test:integration`, files under tests/integration/
that start real builds, Rsbuild dev servers, child Node runs or browsers).

Files that only start real tools move to tests/integration/ unchanged
(apart from relative paths). Mixed files are split by test: the in-process
tests stay in place, the real-tool tests move to a file of the same name
under tests/integration/ (known-bugs-code-splitter into three integration
files). No assertion changed; every test keeps its name and outcome
(vitest outcome per test compared with the baseline: 0 differences).

start-plugin-core: the Vite dev-server tests that link the built
@tanstack/react-start package move to the slow tier with the builds, so
test:unit depends on ^build only and the react-start build dependency
moves to test:integration.

Nx: test:integration (and test:integration:smoke) in targetDefaults like
test:unit; test:unit inputs exclude tests/integration; test:integration
joins test:pr, test:ci and vite-ecosystem-ci:test.

Subject: [PATCH 0414/1425] test(compiler): split the regression helper modules
 by section

Mechanical moves, so that the owners of the next harness changes do not
edit one shared file: router-plugin's regression-helpers.ts keeps the
evaluation helpers and buildAndRun and re-exports plugin-host.ts (the
in-process host of the code-splitter, generator and route HMR plugins),
lazy-tracking.ts (loadRoute and its router stubs) and hmr-model.ts
(hotUpdate); start-plugin-core's keeps the compiler and runtime helpers and
re-exports imports.ts, diagnostics.ts, source-maps.ts and render.ts (the
<Hydrate> chunk helpers). Every name the old modules exported is still
exported from them (checked with the TypeScript checker; start-plugin-core
now also exports createTestModuleGraph and moduleId, which render.ts
imports). No code changed.

Subject: [PATCH 0415/1425] test(compiler): Node compile cache and a
 report-only budget reporter

Under Vitest, the compiler packages set NODE_COMPILE_CACHE for their test
workers and the child Node runs those start (no outcome change).

compiler-test-utils gets a Vitest reporter that compares a tier's run with
its budget (test-budgets.json, the B3 table: target and hard limit per
package and tier, dev at default workers, ci at one worker; at one worker,
each slow-tier file against the 15 s per-file limit). It only reports for
now. router-plugin, start-plugin-core, compiler-test-utils and
react-start-rsc use it; router-generator does not depend on
compiler-test-utils.

Subject: [PATCH 0416/1425] ci(compiler-platforms): fast tier plus a
 browser-free integration smoke set

The Unit tests step now runs the fast tier only (test:unit no longer
includes the Chromium tests, which these runners cannot launch). A new
Integration smoke step runs test:integration:smoke of router-plugin (a Vite
and an Rsbuild production build of a split route) and start-plugin-core (a
Vite and an Rsbuild import-protection build). The browser tests stay in
test:integration on Linux x64 in the main PR workflow. The workflow also
runs on compiler-test-utils changes, which both suites import.

 - Every option configured for splitting must end up split. When a pattern the user can change prevents it, the option keeps working in the entry and the build warns once, naming the file and the option. When the limitation is ours, it is a bug to fix, not a warning.
 - `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules. Keep runtime dependencies inside the function or explicitly emit them; extracting a helper to plugin module scope breaks the generated function. `tests/handle-route-update.test.ts` executes that emitted code: it compiles edited route files with the route HMR plugin and evaluates them next to a live router.
 - Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
+- Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier, the inner loop) runs `tests/**` in process; a Vite dev server in middleware mode is allowed. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: every test that starts a real build (`build`, `buildAndRun`), an Rsbuild dev server or watch compiler, a child Node process or a browser page (`openRouteHmrPage`). Put such tests under `tests/integration/`; a file with tests of both kinds is split by test into files of the same name in both directories. Run both tiers before handing back.
 - Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: compile the route and load the emitted modules with `loadRoute` from `tests/regression-helpers.ts` (built on the module linker from `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils`), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.
 - Run behavioural tests for React, Solid and Vue through the `targetFramework` option of the test helpers.
 - Test what the page shows after a route file edit with `openRouteHmrPage` (`tests/route-hmr-page.ts`): a real dev server with the framework's plugin, a real browser page and the real HMR client. Never copy bundler, HMR-client or React Refresh logic into tests; `hotUpdate` only runs our route HMR code against the bundler's hot API.

"P1-V2 dependencies"). None of these resolved from the package before.

- router-plugin (dev): @rsbuild/plugin-solid, @rsbuild/plugin-babel,
  @rsbuild/plugin-vue, @rsbuild/plugin-vue-jsx (A1 Rsbuild adapters),
  react-error-boundary (HMR-19), @emotion/react (split F13)
- router-generator (dev): @tanstack/vue-router (workspace:*), vue
  (catalog), @vitejs/plugin-vue (A2a; vue/compiler-sfc ships with vue)
- start-plugin-core (dev): @mdx-js/rollup, @mdx-js/loader (ip S22/S23),
  vite-tsconfig-paths (V2-04)
- compiler-test-utils: @jridgewell/trace-mapping (A12), in
  "dependencies" like the package's other helper deps

Versions reuse the workspace's existing specifiers where present.
No Nx project-graph cycle; one vite copy still serves ctu/spc/rp/rg.

Subject: [PATCH 0420/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): link built workspace
 packages into test apps

`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/workspace-packages` generalises the
`startRuntimeLinks()` of the Start build harness: `workspacePackage(name)`
is the root of the built workspace package (packages/*, checked for its
built entry; the error names the Nx build target to depend on),
`workspacePackageLinks(names)` gives `AppOptions.symlinks` entries for an
app's node_modules, and `linkWorkspacePackages(root, names)` creates them
for an app made without the harnesses. A test app under a package's tests
directory resolves that package's own dependencies (e.g. the routers)
without links; the helper is for packages the owner cannot depend on
(`@tanstack/react-start` from start-plugin-core).

Contract test in tests/integration (links `@tanstack/history`, which the
package's `test:integration` target now builds, and imports it through the
link like an installed app).

Subject: [PATCH 0421/1425] test(start-plugin-core): the real router in the
 Start build and dev harnesses

`routerRuntimeFiles`, the stand-in `@tanstack/react-router` of apps with
routes (route creation, child linking, lazy loading, `sideEffects: false`),
is gone: the apps resolve the real built `@tanstack/react-router` (a
dependency of this package, built by `^build`) like any dependency, as
the `realRouter` dev servers already did. `realRouter` is gone with it
(always on). `startRuntimeLinks`/`linkStartRuntime` use the
compiler-test-utils workspace-packages helper.

Scripts that called a split component as a function render through the
real router and React instead: every app gets `harness/render.ts`
(`renderPath(routeTree, pathname)`: `createRouter`, `router.load()`,
`<RouterProvider>` to HTML; plus React's `createElement`/`renderToString`
for a loaded component on its own), which a test entry re-exports.
Rows: S10 (build-harness, start-build-options, start-build-route-hmr),
S47's runtime observation half (page HTML, not a component call), the
source-map stack now comes from React rendering the loaded component.

start-build-options: the hand-written router `index.d.ts` is deleted;
the Register checks type-check against the real router declarations
(verified: the test passes with them, and `Equal<any, 'ROUTER'>` would
fail if the import did not resolve).

hydrate-build.test.ts (A3b's file): its stand-in router no longer
derives from the harness's; the route creation moved into its own
stand-in block (W2-h replaces the hydrate stand-ins with the real
packages).

Subject: [PATCH 0422/1425] test(router-plugin): the real router packages in
 the Vite dev-server harness

`routerPackageStub` (a fake `@tanstack/{react,solid,vue}-router` with an
invented `.load()`) and `loadRouteOption` are gone (split F03): the
apps resolve the real built router packages, dependencies of this
package. New helpers of tests/dev-server.ts:

- `renderRoutePath(server, pathname)`: the real router over the generated
  tree, `router.load()`, `<RouterProvider>` to HTML (SSR environment).
- `renderRouteComponent(component)`: React renders a component option
  (after the real `preload()` when split).
- `servedRouterPackageUrl(server, target)`: the URL the client
  environment serves the router package at (Vite's own resolver), the key
  of its stub for `evaluateServed`.
- `importRouteModule` returns `{ server, routeModule }`.

`expectExportedRouteOptions` asserts outcomes: the export exists and is a
component; a split option is the real router's lazy component of it
(`preload`) rendering the same HTML; the page renders through the real
router. The pins that use it (known-bugs-dev-server: class and aliased
exports lost, shared overloads) fail without `.fails` on the missing
export (checked). `expectSharedOverloads` calls the real options.

Consumers (minimal edits in other owners' files): plugin-options.test.ts
(PO), router-plugin-context.test.ts (CTX), route-hmr.test.ts (W2-g:
Solid cases get `vite-plugin-solid` with `ssr: true`, which a Solid app's
SSR environment needs for the router's Solid build; the client evaluation
stubs the router with the SSR-loaded real package), dev-server-new-routes
(W2-f) and vite-hot-update.ts (W2-g deletes it): the router is served
from `/@fs/`, so the page-load skip patterns include it.

Subject: [PATCH 0423/1425] test(router-generator): check generated route trees
 through the real router

The shared route tree helper evaluated the tree against a stub of the router
packages and re-derived route ids and full paths with copies of router-core's
cleanPath/trimPathLeft and Route.init (route-tree.ts), and described lazy
options by recognising lazyRouteComponent/lazyFn; route-id.ts ran route files
against stub constructors and a stub JSX runtime. Both were copies of our own
runtime (FIX-PLAN A2a, GEN-01).

Now (tests/route-tree.ts):
- withRouteTree() loads the tree and the modules it imports with a real Vite
  server (module runner, packages loaded by Node, @vitejs/plugin-vue for apps
  with .vue files) and builds the router with the app's own router package
  (createRouter + createMemoryHistory). routesOf/urlsOf read routesById and
  fullPath; the file of a route is the evaluated module whose Route export is
  that route. matchesOf() uses router.matchRoutes. Vue apps render with
  vue/server-renderer: render() for a route option (after its preload),
  renderAt(url) for a page (router.load + RouterProvider).
- evaluateModule() runs a module in a temporary app with the real packages.
- routeOptionsOf/loadLazyRoute/routePathsOf are gone. Route pieces are
  checked by rendering each component option once the router loaded the
  route (route-pieces.test.ts, GEN-18/20/32); the pathless-layout check reads
  what the router matches at / (route-paths.test.ts; red when the layout gets
  path '/', checked by mutating the generated tree).
- route-id.ts: routeCallOf() reads the constructor (bound through the router
  package import, aliases and namespaces) and the id literal of the Route
  call with Oxc. The id argument of createFileRoute is types-only at runtime
  (react/solid/vue fileRoute.ts ignore it), so literal upkeep is checked on
  the parsed value; evaluation is real (evaluateModule) where it was checked.

real-router.test.ts now asserts literal ids/full paths/parents, matching of
URLs, Vue pages rendering their single-file components, and that the tree's
types (FileRoutesById ids, fullPath, parentRoute id) equal the router's
(J1.13). New pin: a route group layout ((marketing)/route.tsx) is typed
fullPath '' while the router gives '/' (utils.ts:929-950 inferFullPath).
The settings/_layout.lazy.tsx row became settings/_layout.tsx: the lazy-only
variant is the G1 bug pinned in route-paths.test.ts.

.lazy.vue pin (J1.17, GEN-20): drops the "or the generator warns" branch;
/about must render the SFC through the real router. Empty .lazy.vue pin
(GEN-32): unchanged empty, or an SFC the Vue plugin compiles and Vue renders.

Deleted:
- route-tree.test.ts (10 controls of the stub evaluator); loading is now
  Vite + the router, exercised by real-router.test.ts and every consumer.
- route-id.test.ts evaluateRouteFile controls (helper removed); routeCallOf
  controls replace them.
- transform.test.ts row "adds the missing constructor next to a default
  import": tsc accepts `import Router from '@tanstack/react-router'` only via
  allowSyntheticDefaultImports (bundler resolution, no error), but Vite
  rejects it ("does not provide an export named 'default'"), so the input
  never runs in an app. The aliased and namespace rows still cover the
  binding.

Solid: this package has no @tanstack/solid-router (not an approved
devDependency), so Solid route trees are not loaded; the Solid rows keep
their upkeep checks and skip the tree load with a comment
(generator-options.test.ts, template.test.ts).

Every .fails pin of router-generator was re-run without .fails: all 20 red
for their stated reasons.

Subject: [PATCH 0424/1425] test(router-generator): empty-prefix physical
 mounts merge, real conflicts fail (GEN-30)

"a route file that resolves to an empty path fails the generator" pinned
an error for physical('', 'merged') with merged/route.tsx as if any
empty-prefix mount were a conflict. J1.7 (V0.3): only genuinely conflicting
routes require the error.

- New: the docs' "Merging Physical Routes at Current Level" example, with
  physical('features') and physical('', 'features'): /about, / and /contact
  through the real router.
- New: a virtual /about next to features/about.tsx merged at the same level
  fails the generator with an error naming both files (the docs' note).
- The root-layout case (merged/route.tsx) moves, unchanged, to
  outside-compiler-corpus/virtual-routes.test.ts as a characterisation
  outside acceptance.

Subject: [PATCH 0425/1425] test(router-generator): share modules across test
 files in a worker

Loading generated trees through Vite and the real router packages costs
~150-250 ms of imports per test file under isolation (10 files load trees),
which took the fast tier from 9.9 s to 12.3 s on 1 worker. Test files do
not depend on module state: each test uses its own temporary app, restores
its spies/env stubs, and the tree helpers create a fresh Vite server (fresh
transform and module caches) per load. Runs with --sequence.shuffle (seeds
1 and 7, 1 and 2 workers) pass with identical counts.

1 worker: 9.9 s (baseline) -> 5.2 s; 4 workers: 3.1 s -> 2.5 s.

Subject: [PATCH 0426/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): real packages, React JSX
 and load observers in the module linker
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

FIX-PLAN A3a/A4 (W2-b). The linker no longer renders JSX with a string
stand-in: JSX compiles with React's automatic runtime (Vite's Oxc
transform, what @vitejs/plugin-react configures) and graphs link real
installed packages (`packages`), so a test renders with the real React the
modules use (`importPackage`). New load observers: `requested` (every
module a graph's modules requested), `fork()` (fresh instances, same
modules and stubs) and `has(id)`.

- `render.ts`: real framework transforms (Vite's React transform,
  vite-plugin-solid, @vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx, driven as Vite drives them) and
  server renderers (react-dom/server, solid-js/web, vue/server-renderer),
  all from the consumer's own packages.
- `lazy-probe.ts`: laziness, loaded modules and groups observed by the
  modules a trigger requests, in forks, never by recognising a lazy helper
  (SPEC J2.6, §5.3, §5.8).
- The linker control GEN-39 uses a plain exported object instead of JSX.
- react-start-rsc keeps its JSX-as-text through the deprecated `runtime`
  option until FIX-PLAN A3c (W2-j) replaces that harness.

Subject: [PATCH 0427/1425] test(router-plugin): load split routes with the
 real router and React

FIX-PLAN A3a/A4, F01/F02/F06 (W2-b). `loadRoute` links the compiled route
with the real @tanstack/react-router (or vue-router) and React instead of a
router stub whose `lazyRouteComponent`/`lazyFn` were recognised by identity:

- `isLazy`, `loadedBy` (one or more modules: facades allowed) and
  `groups()` observe loading through the router's lazy contract
  (`preload()`, a loader call) and the modules requested (ctu lazy-probe);
- `render` / `renderRoute` render with react-dom/server, the latter through
  a real router (`router.load()`, `RouterProvider`), so route hooks run;
- `eager` lists everything the route module's load requested (F30);
- `loadRouteGraph` loads fixed graphs: the harness controls now run on fixed
  graphs of several valid shapes (an equivalent wrapper, an intermediate
  module) and one wrong one (a group pulling another), not on the
  splitter's output (F06).

`evaluateModule` and `evaluateRouteModule` use the real packages too. The
router stub and the JSX-as-text stand-in that hmr-model.ts (deleted by A1)
still needs moved into that file. Solid's router ships JSX source for
bundlers and cannot be linked in process; Solid runtime stays with the real
builds (integration/build-frameworks).

+ *   rendered by the real router on the server: `createRouter`, memory
+ *   history at `at` (default the route id), `router.load()`, then
+ *   `RouterProvider` rendered. Loaders, error and not-found states, and route
+ *   hooks such as `Route.useLoaderData()` run as in an app.
+ * - `loadedBy(option)`: the code of each compiled module loading the option
+ *   evaluates (one or more: facades and support modules are allowed).
+ * - `groups()`: which lazy options load together. Activating a lazy option
+ *   makes every option of its group available (its loading requests nothing
+ *   new); options of another group stay unrequested.
+ * - `importFromRoute(source)`: another module of the app importing the route
+ *   module (`'#route'`), for identity checks through a real importer.
+ * - `registered`: what React Refresh registered (`refresh`).
+ *
+ * The observers that load something (`isLazy`, `loadedBy`, `groups`) run in
+ * forks of the graph (`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/lazy-probe`: fresh
+ * module instances, same stubs), so the route a test inspects loads nothing
+ * it did not ask for. The route module's top-level code runs again in each
+ * fork with the same stubs: assert what stubs record before using these.
+ * `isLazy('loader')` calls the loader once in a fork, without arguments: a
+ * loader that is not lazy runs there.

Subject: [PATCH 0428/1425] test(router-plugin): splitter suites observe real
 renders and real loading

FIX-PLAN A3a/A4 consumers (W2-b): F01, F02, F06, F30, F36.

- Components render with real React (`render`, or `renderRoute` through the
  real router where they use route hooks); expected HTML is what React
  renders. Stubs of the router packages and of React are gone.
- Laziness via `await isLazy`, groupings via `groups()` instead of module or
  evaluation counts (F06: route options, plugin pipeline, pragmas; F36:
  router-plugin-context checks that the requested group loads and an
  independently configured one stays unrequested).
- "Not loaded with the route" via `eager`, the whole eager graph, instead of
  the route module's direct imports (F30: dead code, imports/exports, module
  state, scope); the compiler-level D5 checks stay on the split modules
  (`loadedBy`, one or more modules).
- One-instance checks through real consumers (`importFromRoute`, a
  component recording what it sees), never the identity of a lazy wrapper.
- Every `.fails` pin touched was run once without `.fails`: each fails for
  its own bug. The `@jsxFrag` pin's fixture now says `@jsxRuntime classic`
  (Vite 8's React transform ignores a lone `@jsx`, so the old fixture never
  used its factory).
- New pin (code-splitter-pragmas, "in the route module, when the code
  calling the factory is split"): the route module emitted for a file with
  leading JSX pragmas starts with the splitter's own imports and drops the
  classic factory import, so JSX left in the route module compiles with
  React's default runtime under Vite 8. Hidden by the old JSX stand-in.

Subject: [PATCH 0429/1425] test(router-plugin): keep the route HMR suites
 passing on the real router

Minimal edits in W2-g's files (FIX-PLAN A1 rewrites them on real pages):
components render with real React (`renderComponent`, `render`), `isLazy`
is awaited, compile-only checks of Solid routes use `compileRouteModules`
(the Solid router cannot be linked in process), and "React Refresh
registers the split component" compares what a registered component
renders with what the route renders (the component a lazy option loads is
not reachable through the router's public API). All 16 pins of
known-bugs-route-hmr were run without `.fails`: each fails for its own bug.

Subject: [PATCH 0430/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): shared oracles for
 diagnostics, importers, determinism and source maps
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

FIX-PLAN A9-A12 helpers, outcome-only (SPEC §5.7, §5.14, G4, G9):

- diagnostics: read the real channel (thrown errors, aggregated build
  errors and warnings, console) and assert severity, the file named
  (absolute, relative or trailing segments, unambiguous among others),
  the original position (any frame layout, 0- or 1-based column) and
  API/option names; never prose. expectEnvRestrictionThrow and
  envRestrictionError for J4.10: a deliberate error naming the owning
  environment, any wording.
- importers: a real second module importing named/default/odd-name
  exports as live bindings; load markers instead of import inventories.
- determinism: reorderings, expectDeterministic (same root) versus
  expectRelocatable (per-root checks, portable projections only).
- source-maps: @jridgewell/trace-mapping, parsed token offsets, stack
  tracing, CRLF-aware positions.

Integration control (tests/integration/oracles.test.ts): every bundler's
real build error names file, line and column; a throw in a built chunk
resolves through its stack. The build harness now keeps esbuild's
line:column (it dropped the location the real channel carries).

+/**
+ * Determinism versus relocation (FIX-PLAN A11; SPEC G4, J1.5, J4.4, J5.4,
+ * §9).
+ *
+ * - Determinism: with the same effective root and configuration, repeated
+ *   runs and runs that differ only in incidental order (file discovery,
+ *   request order, write order) give the same observable output: ids,
+ *   module graph, diagnostics. `expectDeterministic` compares what the test
+ *   observes across such runs.
+ * - Relocation: the same project at another root must compile correctly
+ *   and agree with itself (callers and providers share ids within a
+ *   build), but opaque ids and bytes need not equal those of the other
+ *   root. `expectRelocatable` checks each root on its own and compares
+ *   only a `portable` projection the test chooses (route ids and paths,
+ *   rendered output), never opaque ids.
+ * - Edits change the input: nothing is required to stay stable across an
+ *   edit (J4.4), so neither helper takes one.
+ *
+ * API:
+ * - `reorderings(items)` and `reorderedRecords(record)`: the given order,
+ *   the reverse, and an interleaving, as named variants.
+ * - `expectDeterministic(variants, observe)`: runs `observe` once per
+ *   variant, one after another, and asserts every observation equals the
+ *   first. Returns the observations.
+ * - `expectRelocatable(roots, observe, { check, portable? })`: runs
+ *   `observe` at each root, applies `check(observation, root)` to each and,
+ *   when given, asserts `portable(observation, root)` agrees across roots.
+ * - `withoutRoot(value, root)`: `value` with every spelling of `root`

+ * One diagnostic oracle (FIX-PLAN A9; SPEC G5, J2.8, J4.10, §5.7).
+ *
+ * Tests capture what the user actually sees (a thrown or rejected error, a
+ * bundler's errors and warnings, console output) and assert outcomes only:
+ * the severity, the file named, the original position, the API or option
+ * names the user acts on, and, for `createServerOnlyFn`/`createClientOnlyFn`,
+ * the environment restriction. Never the prose, the code-frame layout or
+ * context length, nor whether a file is spelled absolute or project-relative
+ * (SPEC §5.7).
+ *
+ * API:
+ * - `diagnosticsOf(value, severity?)`: the diagnostics a captured value
+ *   carries: an error (one diagnostic, including the errors it aggregates,
+ *   e.g. a `BuildError`, plus one per warning it carries), a build result
+ *   or stats object without a message (one per error and per warning), a
+ *   Rollup, esbuild or webpack message object, a string, or an array.
+ * - `captureThrow(run)`: the diagnostics of what `run` throws or rejects
+ *   with; fails when it completes.
+ * - `captureConsole(run)`: what `run` logs through `console`, by severity
+ *   (`error`; `warn` is `warning`; `log`/`info`/`debug` are `info`), silenced.
+ * - `findDiagnostics(diagnostics, expectation)` and
+ *   `expectDiagnostic(diagnostics, expectation)`: the diagnostics meeting a
+ *   `DiagnosticExpectation`; the latter fails, listing why each diagnostic
+ *   does not match, unless one (or exactly `times`) does.
+ * - `mentionsFile(text, file, options?)`: whether a text names a file.
+ * - `diagnosticPosition(source, needle)`: the 1-based line and column of
+ *   the first occurrence of `needle` in `source`.
+ * - `identifiesEnvRestriction(error, env)`, `envRestrictionError(env)` (an
+ *   asymmetric matcher) and `expectEnvRestrictionThrow(run, env)`: J4.10.
+ *
+ * Accepted spellings (any one suffices):
+ * - File: an absolute path, a `file://` URL, a Vite `/@fs/` URL, a
+ *   `webpack://<namespace>/` source, or any trailing run of whole path
+ *   segments of the file (`src/routes/posts.tsx`, `routes/posts.tsx`,
+ *   `posts.tsx`), with `/` or `\` separators, a query or a position suffix.
+ *   A trailing run that also names a file of `distinctFrom` is ambiguous and
+ *   does not count.
+ * - Position: the file followed by `:line`, `:line:column`, `(line,column)`
+ *   or ` line:column`; a code frame line for `line` marked with `>` or
+ *   followed by a `^` marker (the marker gives the column when `source` is
+ *   known); a bracketed `(line:column)` or `[line:column]`; `line <line>` (and
+ *   `column <column>`); or a structured `loc`. Tools disagree on 0- or
+ *   1-based columns, so both are accepted.

+ * - `importBindings(graph, specifier, names, options?)`: adds such a module
+ *   to a `createModuleGraph` graph, evaluates it and returns its live
+ *   `bindings`: compare them (`toBe`) with what the module uses, call them.
+ * - `loadMarker(name)`: a statement that records `name` when the module it
+ *   is in evaluates; put it in a stub or a fixture file. `loadedModules()`

+ * Source-map assertions through a standard consumer (FIX-PLAN A12; SPEC G6,

+ * decoder, and tests locate code by parsed tokens or executed throws, never
+ * by printed syntax. Only "this generated position resolves to the user's
+ * file, line (and column)" is asserted: map layout, `names`,
+ * `sourcesContent`, granularity and mappings of generated support code are
+ * free.
+ *
+ * Positions follow the source-map convention: `line` 1-based, `column`
+ * 0-based. Lines are counted with every JavaScript line terminator (`\n`,
+ * `\r\n`, a lone `\r`, U+2028, U+2029), so CRLF sources work.
+ *
+ * API:
+ * - `inlineSourceMap(code)`: the map of a `//# sourceMappingURL=data:`
+ *   comment (what dev servers serve), or `undefined`.
+ * - `positionAt(code, offset)` and `offsetAt(code, position)`.
+ * - `findNodes(code, predicate, options?)` and `tokenOffsets(code, query,
+ *   options?)`: offsets of parsed syntax (identifiers, string values, a
+ *   `throw`), whatever the printing.
+ * - `originalPositionOf(map, generated)`: the original `{ source, line,
+ *   column }` of a generated position, or `undefined` when unmapped.
+ * - `originalPositions(map)`: every original position the map points at.
+ * - `traceStack(stack, mapOf)`: the frames of an executed throw's stack,
+ *   each resolved through the map `mapOf` gives for its file.
+ * - `expectMapsTo(map, generated, expected)`: asserts a generated position
+ *   resolves to `expected.file` (any spelling `mentionsFile` accepts),

Subject: [PATCH 0431/1425] test(start-plugin-core): environment-restriction
 throws through the shared oracle
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

serverOnlyError/clientOnlyError are now asymmetric matchers: the call
threw (settle returns Thrown with the real error) a deliberate error
naming the owning environment, whatever its prose (SPEC J4.10, §5.7).
Consumers compare with toEqual instead of toBe; the nested-handler pin
fixture and the client-only-imports build return the error's name and
message instead of a "throws: " string.

source-maps.ts reads maps through the shared trace-mapping consumer
instead of a hand VLQ decoder (HYD-31).

V4 green-sol/10 (reworded error): 48 failures -> 0. A message naming no
environment still fails the same 48 tests.

Subject: [PATCH 0432/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): client runs in Chromium,
 project JSX settings and real target globals in the validators

A8 / GEN-36: client build output runs in a page of headless Chromium
(browser.ts openPage) served over HTTP from the output directory, instead
of jsdom globals copied onto Node. SSR output stays in a Node child
process. The guarded setImmediate probe now returns 'none'.

A8 / GEN-38: the dangling-name check reads the emitted chunks, never a
separately minified copy. Unminified webpack/Rspack builds are not
checked: their own output keeps dead code with dangling names for the
minifier (Rspack's unminified build of @tanstack/react-router alone reads
useRouter, jsx... without a binding). The control pairs the minified build
(dead code gone, passes) with the unminified one (kept, unchecked).
Removed control "a dangling name in code the minifier keeps fails" for
unminified builds: covered by "a chunk that reads a dangling name fails
the build description" (minified, every bundler).

A8 / GEN-37: every real browser/Node global is allowed; a lost local is
found from binding evidence (getModuleErrors `source` option), adopted by
rp plugin-host expectValidModules and spc render.ts in place of the
source-derived `globals`.

A7 / GEN-27: getModuleErrors/freeIdentifiers take the project's JSX
settings (`jsx`, default React automatic) and pass them to Oxc, which
interprets the pragmas and their position itself; no comment scanning.
Controls: the same non-leading pragma under a classic and an automatic
project.

Subject: [PATCH 0433/1425] test(compiler): webpack minify only where checked;
 parallel child runs

Speedup 5: build-frameworks and plugin-options build webpack cells with
minify: false; their outcomes (placement of live code, rendering, init
counts, framework runtimes present, route tree) do not depend on terser.

Speedup 10: expectHydratesLikeServer and callInBoth run the SSR process
and the client page side by side; the shared-build block of
start-build-env-separation runs its rows concurrently.

Subject: [PATCH 0434/1425] build(router-generator): add Solid and React DOM
 test devDependencies

Coordinator-approved test-only devDependencies (same kind as the approved
P1 ones), so the generator tests can load Solid route trees with the real
Solid router and render React pages:
@tanstack/solid-router (workspace:*), solid-js, vite-plugin-solid,
react-dom (+ @types/react-dom for the type-checked tests), all catalog.

Nx graph: neither @tanstack/solid-router, @tanstack/react-router nor
@tanstack/vue-router reaches @tanstack/router-generator (no cycle).
Lockfile regenerated with `pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile` (importer
entries only); `CI=1 pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` passes; the set of
vite@8.3.4 variants in the lockfile is unchanged from 5057dad449.

Subject: [PATCH 0435/1425] test(router-generator): Solid trees and React/Solid
 pages through the real router

route-tree.ts:
- The app's Vite config is read from its sources: @vitejs/plugin-vue for
  .vue files, vite-plugin-solid ({ ssr: true }) when modules import Solid;
  Solid apps let the plugin bundle the Solid router's sources for the
  server (otherwise Node loads the packages).
- Solid apps share one Vite server per worker (compiling the Solid router's
  sources takes ~0.7 s); before each load it forgets every module of the
  app, so edited or regenerated files are transformed again. React and Vue
  apps keep a fresh server per load.
- The router package is the loaded entry module (react/solid/vue-router
  dist index) the app's modules use; pages render with react-dom/server,
  solid-js/web (as the router package loaded it) or vue/server-renderer.

Tests:
- The Solid rows of generator-options.test.ts and template.test.ts load
  their trees again (guards removed).
- real-router.test.ts is split: route shapes and pins stay there; React,
  Solid and Vue page apps move to real-router-frameworks.test.ts; shared
  helpers to real-router.ts. New React and Solid apps render their pages
  (root layout, index, lazy component, lazy-only route, child route,
  pathless layout); the Solid app's types are checked too.
- Route group layout (`(marketing)/route.tsx`): the runtime half (ids,
  parents, matching, rendering) is a passing test; only the types mismatch
  stays pinned. The pin now cites the docs (file-naming-conventions.md:15
  `(folder)` route groups, :18 `route.tsx`) and #4629, which made it a
  maintained shape.
- Lazy-only pathless layout (`settings/_layout.lazy.tsx`): restored as a
  `.fails` pin with matching, rendering and types (types already say
  /settings/profile; the router gives /profile). Lazy-only route files are
  documented (guide/code-splitting.md:222-224, SPEC J1.8); same bug as the
  G1 pin in route-paths.test.ts. Verified red without `.fails`.

All 21 router-generator pins re-run without `.fails`: red for their
stated reasons.

Subject: [PATCH 0436/1425] test(router-generator): reuse the previous
 TypeScript program in type checks

typeErrorsOf passes the previous program as `oldProgram` to
ts.createProgram, so the compiler reuses what it can (the router packages'
type definitions are the same files in every app). Same compiler options,
same diagnostics; real-router.test.ts went from 4.8 s to 3.2 s in a
back-to-back run on the same load.

Subject: [PATCH 0438/1425] test(router-plugin): route HMR page waits on the
 real tools' signals; Rsbuild Solid and Vue

`openRouteHmrPage` (tests/route-hmr-page.ts) now observes instead of sleeping:
the dev server's own `hotUpdate` plugin hook (Vite) or the compile tracker
(Rsbuild) tells when the server handled the written files; the HMR client's
public API (`vite:afterUpdate`, the webpack-style `addStatusHandler`) counts
the updates the page applied; document loads, HMR messages and the page's
own text decide the outcome. An edit the client applied without showing
fails after a short grace instead of a timeout (the pins of
known-bugs-route-hmr no longer wait 3 s each), and a reload or update that
arrives after the text showed is still attributed (HMR-34). `edit()` also
returns the page's errors since the edit (HMR-14) and the page exposes
`loads()`.

Rsbuild apps now run Solid (`@rsbuild/plugin-solid` + `@rsbuild/plugin-babel`)
and Vue (`@rsbuild/plugin-vue` + `@rsbuild/plugin-vue-jsx`) with their real
HMR support (FIX-PLAN A1 harness work 1). New options: `pluginOptions: null`
(the plugin reads tsr.config.json), `pluginOptionsAsFunction`, `readyTimeout`.

Subject: [PATCH 0439/1425] test(router-plugin): delete the in-process HMR
 model; its consumers move to the real page
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`hotUpdate` (tests/hmr-model.ts) created hot contexts and hot data, ran
disposers, re-executed modules and ordered accept callbacks itself;
`editRouteFile` (tests/vite-hot-update.ts) used Vite's boundary analysis
with a fake router and no browser client. Both copied bundler/HMR dispatch
(ruling 2026-10-18; FIX-PLAN A1). Every consumer is ported to
`openRouteHmrPage` or deleted:

- route-hmr.test.ts: the Solid/Vue, factory and stale-id model tests go
  (HMR-01/02/04/05; the page suites cover Solid/Vue on Vite and Rsbuild,
  factory options in route-hmr-browser.test.ts; stale-id reachability is
  evidence work, SPEC §9). The React-import exclusion stays as a compile
  check (HMR-03: no window-key assertion). The no-HMR scan includes
  `module.hot` (HMR-08). The dev-server tests that looked for the hot API
  in the served code (.ts, environmentName, hmr.style alone, tsr.config.json
  target, function options: HMR-10/11) are page rows in
  route-hmr-browser-plugin.test.ts; the excluded environment is checked on
  its whole served graph.
- known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts (fast tier): the `hotUpdate` alias pin and
  the `editRouteFile` boundary tests (HMR-22/23) are page pins; the fake
  `ErrorBoundary` control/pin (HMR-19) is a page control/pin with the real
  `react-error-boundary`; the staticData identity control stays.
- regression-helpers.test.ts: the four `hotUpdate` controls go with the helper.
- react-refresh-route-components.test.ts: the root module creating another
  route is unsupported (one route per file, HMR-12): deleted; root edits are
  covered by route-hmr-browser.test.ts.
- code-splitter-plugin-pipeline.test.ts: the webpack-style Solid update and
  the factory-route HMR matrix (F07/F09/F33) are page rows; the accept
  count goes (the route evaluates without a hot API).
- code-splitter-route-options.test.ts: root route call shapes are page rows.
- router-plugin-context.test.ts: the internal-plugin HMR test (F08) goes;
  every page test's first edit goes through the public plugin setup.
- integration/plugin-options.test.ts: the hot-API scan of the rspack/webpack
  entries (F08) becomes a page row on Rsbuild; the `addHmr: false` control stays.
- handle-route-update.test.ts calls the emitted `handleRouteUpdate` with
  explicit inputs and a real router, no hot context (AGENTS.md sentence,
  P3); the absent-route test navigates the live tree (HMR-26).

AGENTS.md carries the approved sentence (DECISIONS.md, P3).

 - Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object. Which bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
 - Every option configured for splitting must end up split. When a pattern the user can change prevents it, the option keeps working in the entry and the build warns once, naming the file and the option. When the limitation is ours, it is a bug to fix, not a warning.
-- `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules. Keep runtime dependencies inside the function or explicitly emit them; extracting a helper to plugin module scope breaks the generated function. `tests/handle-route-update.test.ts` executes that emitted code: it compiles edited route files with the route HMR plugin and evaluates them next to a live router.
+- `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules. Keep runtime dependencies inside the function or explicitly emit them; extracting a helper to plugin module scope breaks the generated function. `tests/handle-route-update.test.ts` executes that emitted code: it calls the emitted function with the route of an edited file and a live router.
 - Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
 - Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier, the inner loop) runs `tests/**` in process; a Vite dev server in middleware mode is allowed. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: every test that starts a real build (`build`, `buildAndRun`), an Rsbuild dev server or watch compiler, a child Node process or a browser page (`openRouteHmrPage`). Put such tests under `tests/integration/`; a file with tests of both kinds is split by test into files of the same name in both directories. Run both tiers before handing back.
 - Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: compile the route and load the emitted modules with `loadRoute` from `tests/regression-helpers.ts` (built on the module linker from `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils`), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.
 - Run behavioural tests for React, Solid and Vue through the `targetFramework` option of the test helpers.
-- Test what the page shows after a route file edit with `openRouteHmrPage` (`tests/route-hmr-page.ts`): a real dev server with the framework's plugin, a real browser page and the real HMR client. Never copy bundler, HMR-client or React Refresh logic into tests; `hotUpdate` only runs our route HMR code against the bundler's hot API.
+- Test what the page shows after a route file edit with `openRouteHmrPage` (`tests/route-hmr-page.ts`): a real dev server with the framework's plugin, a real browser page and the real HMR client. Never copy bundler, HMR-client or React Refresh logic into tests. There is no in-process HMR model: test route HMR with `openRouteHmrPage`. A unit test of `handleRouteUpdate` may call it with explicit inputs and a real router, but must not recreate hot contexts, disposal, module selection or framework refresh.

Subject: [PATCH 0440/1425] test(router-plugin): route HMR page suites:
 Solid/Vue on Rsbuild, plugin configurations, sharper pins

route-hmr-browser.test.ts: every edit also requires no unexpected page error
(HMR-14; the deliberate loader error is filtered); the memo/forwardRef split
rows and an inline-arrow row count mounts through a state initializer
(HMR-13); the options the edits add are cumulative, and the removal of a
loaded option (the pinned bug) is the last, loose step; the rows creating
a second route in a route module are gone (one route per file, HMR-12).

route-hmr-browser-frameworks.test.ts (new): Solid and Vue on Vite and
Rsbuild; `{ reloaded: false }` where it holds today, the rest pinned.
route-hmr-browser-plugin.test.ts (new): plugin configurations (hmr.style,
environmentName, function options, tsr.config.json, Rsbuild with
hmr.style vite), root route call shapes, routes created inside a function,
`.ts` routes and an app without @vitejs/plugin-react (loose controls).

known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts: pins wait on the client's applied signal, not
3 s; new output and `{ reloaded: false, errors: [] }` everywhere (HMR-21);
the memo(Page) control edits the body and keeps state, next to a
forwardRef(Page) control (HMR-20, G.3); per-variant controls of the
removal pin (HMR-15); new pins: alias export (Vite, Rsbuild), unsplit Vue,
`.ts` route, Vite without plugin-react, the hoisted inline component with
the real react-error-boundary (HMR-19), an unsplit Solid route on Rsbuild
and a helper-created route without code splitting (both NEW, FOLLOWUPS).
Every pin verified red for its stated reason in a run without `.fails`.
The production-build pins move to known-bugs-route-hmr-production.test.ts
(per-file budget).

regression-helpers.test.ts: the reload detector control uses the browser's
own reload (HMR-30); a control that an applied-but-not-shown edit fails
without its timeout on both bundlers.

Subject: [PATCH 0441/1425] test(start-plugin-core): tell an import-protection
 mock by safe behaviour, read reports by their sections

The mock oracle (A6, IP-S01/S10/S25): mock-helpers.ts probes what a
consumer does with a mocked binding (member reads, calls and construction
to depth, primitive conversions, no secret) instead of comparing its label;
the same probe is serialised for scripts run in another process. The unit
rows of the mock modules use it; the pins they duplicated on internals
(reserved names, namespace re-exports, enums, a read before the import)
live on as app-level twins (integration/importProtection/known-bugs.test.ts).

The report adapter (IP-S05): violation-report.ts reads reports by their
documented sections (environment type, Importer, Import, Trace, Code with
the >/^ convention), per log entry or paragraph, and fails on a diagnostic
that announces import protection without them; a unit test feeds it other
headers, numbering, quotes, spacing, boxing and plugin tags.

IP-S16: usage-location.ts (a copy of the Vite adapter's location fallback
order) is deleted; analysis.usage.test.ts checks only whether the Start
compiler's output keeps the denied import. IP-S03: the unit row that
expected a server-environment mock to stay silent is gone (SPEC J6.3 has
no server exemption); the real-adapter rows follow in dev.test.ts.

known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts (W3-hmr's file): the oracle import renamed.

Subject: [PATCH 0443/1425] test(router-plugin): D11 route-factory HMR rows
 accept the ruling's either/or; page reports warnings

Ruling R-09 / D11 (DECISIONS.md 2026-10-17): a route created inside a
function of its file is unsupported but user-fixable; tests accept either a
correct result (here: the edit takes effect, in place or after a reload,
per the function-call ruling) or a warning naming the file in every mode.
Silent wrong output fails.

`openRouteHmrPage` gains `warnings()`: the dev server's logger (Vite
`logs`, Rsbuild compile warnings), what the server's process logged with
`console.warn` about a file of the app (one shared wrapper, listeners per
page, so concurrent pages do not race on restores), and what the page
logged as a warning (the compiler puts its warning into the served
module). A harness control shows the channel on both bundlers with the
compiler's real exported-component warning.

The known-bugs D11 pin ("an edit of a route a helper function creates
shows its new component, or the file is reported") and the loose
route-factory rows of route-hmr-browser-plugin.test.ts pass when the edit
takes effect without errors or a warning names `routes/index.tsx`. Main
does neither on Vite and Rsbuild (stale `helper v1 data v2`, no warning):
the pin stays `.fails`, verified red in a run without it. The Rsbuild
unsplit Solid pin is untouched (no ruling covers it).

Subject: [PATCH 0444/1425] test(start-plugin-core): import-protection app
 tests on the safe-mock oracle and the report adapter

build.test.ts (IP-S02, S20): mock-mode rows describe the import (a safe
mock, no initializer run, no real code) with mockAccess 'off' for the
silence; new rows pin mockAccess error/warn/default in a production
mock-mode build (silent self-contained mocks today). The ignored-importer
marker rows read the blamed importer from onViolation (Rsbuild blames the
exempt importer through its BFS chain), split the no-report and
real-module outcomes (the latter pinned on both bundlers), and add a
mixed mock-mode row (exempt real, other mocked, pinned).

dev.test.ts (IP-S03, S17, S18, S27, V4 timing pin): the React stand-in
is gone (real React from the package's dependencies); the MDX stand-in
is the real @mdx-js/rollup; mockAccess error/warn rows for an SSR import
of a .client file (silent server mocks today, pinned); a wiring row
through startDevServer({ start }) for onViolation and mockAccess; the
marker-add pin split into a report pin and a mock pin (FOLLOWUPS H5); the
pre-transform false-warning pin reproduced deterministically with an
ordering plugin that holds the factory's client transform until the
helper's landed.

known-bugs.test.ts (IP-S13, S15, S25): the unused-mock pin compares the
client bundle with the one import protection disabled gives; twins for
eval/arguments export names and ns[key]() of a denied file and specifier
(the latter pinned on Vite). exemptions, build-options, reported-location
(an SSR/provider case, IP-S16), rsbuild (one server for the seven
importer types, compile waits no shorter than the test timeout) follow.

Subject: [PATCH 0445/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): the real file watcher in
 the Vite dev-server harness

The dev-server harness no longer replays file events from a filesystem
diff (FIX-PLAN A5, GEN-26). Vite's own chokidar watcher runs in every
mode; write() writes files and settle() waits, by events only, for:
- the watcher's report of each written file (a test writes like a user,
  after chokidar's per-file change throttle passed: it drops a second
  change within that moment),
- the end of Vite's handling of each reported event (hotUpdateEnvironments,
  or the error Vite logs; AsyncLocalStorage ties both to the event),
- files plugins wrote meanwhile: a barrier file change, then every app file
  as the watcher last saw it; until a round sees no new event (a plugin
  that keeps writing never settles: error after 10 rounds).
Full-bundle dev (bundledDev) waits for the dev engine's watcher, the
plugins' watchChange hooks of each environment and the dev engine output,
instead of forcing a full rebuild.

Removed with the replay: FileEventOptions (order, batch) and their tests.
The same-contents write test (H.3 load flake) now waits for the watcher's
own change event.

start-plugin-core (W2-j's file, minimal): the bundledDev factory edit test
passed only because the replay forced a full rebuild. Split into a passing
#8062 control (bundles again without errors) and a .fails pin: the
importer of an edited factory is not recompiled in full-bundle dev
(start-compiler-plugin/plugin.ts:412-424). Verified red without .fails:
"expected [ 'assets/a.js' ] to deeply equal []".

 /**
  * Dev-server harness for tests of what a dev server serves after edits:
  * starts a real Vite dev server (JS API, unbundled dev) on a temporary app,
- * lets the test create, edit, rename and delete files, replays the file
- * events the way Vite's watcher reports them and waits until the server has
- * handled them (plugin `watchChange` and `hotUpdate` hooks, HMR), and then
- * requests modules per environment and reports the HMR payloads sent to each
- * environment.
+ * lets the test create, edit, rename and delete files, which Vite's own file
+ * watcher (chokidar) reports, waits until the server has handled what the
+ * watcher reported (plugin `watchChange` and `hotUpdate` hooks, HMR), and
+ * then requests modules per environment and reports the HMR payloads sent to
+ * each environment.
  *
- * File events are replayed deterministically instead of coming from a real
- * file watcher: `settle()` compares the app's files (contents and
- * modification times) with what it saw last, emits an `add`, `change` or
- * `unlink` event for each difference (including files plugins wrote while
- * handling earlier events, e.g. a generated route tree, even with the same
- * contents), waits for the server to handle each one, and repeats until the
- * files are stable. The order of the events and whether they are emitted one
- * at a time are options (`FileEventOptions`).
+ * Nothing replays file events: `write()` writes files, the watcher reports
+ * them, and `settle()` waits for the server, by events only:
+ * - each file the test wrote is reported by the watcher (a test writes like
+ *   a user, a moment after the last change the watcher reported: chokidar
+ *   drops a second change of a file within that moment);
+ * - each reported event is handled: Vite calls `hotUpdateEnvironments` at
+ *   the end of its handling of a file event, or logs the error that stopped
+ *   it (`AsyncLocalStorage` ties both to the event);
+ * - files plugins wrote meanwhile (e.g. a generated route tree): the harness
+ *   changes a barrier file, which the watcher reports after the writes made
+ *   before it, once the server handled everything, and checks that every
+ *   app file is as the watcher last saw it (when the server finished
+ *   handling its event, or when chokidar dropped a change of it); until a
+ *   round sees no new event.
+ * A plugin that keeps writing files on each event never settles (an error
+ * after 10 rounds).
+ *
+ * In Vite's full-bundle dev (`bundledDev`), Rolldown's dev engine watches
+ * the modules it bundled and Vite's watcher watches what plugins add to it:
+ * `settle()` waits for each watcher that watches a written file, for the
+ * plugins' `watchChange` hooks of each environment (Vite sends no hot update
+ * there), and for the dev engine's output.
  *
  * Plugin-agnostic: the caller supplies the plugins and the directory the apps
  * live in (where their imports resolve).

Subject: [PATCH 0449/1425] test(start-plugin-core): hydrate-build runs the
 real Start, React and router, and hydrates in Chromium
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

FIX-PLAN A3b-2 (HYD-02, HYD-04, HYD-05, HYD-15, HYD-24).

- Delete `hydrateRuntimeFiles` (stand-in `@tanstack/react-start`,
  `@tanstack/react-router` and React JSX runtime), its names-only contract
  test, and `renderThroughChunks` (which preloaded lazy components itself).
  Apps link the built `@tanstack/react-start` (startRuntimeLinks) and
  resolve the real router and React.
- Hydration oracle: the SSR build renders each page with
  `renderToReadableStream` (allReady); a Chromium page of the client build
  hydrates that HTML with `hydrateRoot`, records `onRecoverableError` and
  `console.error`, and clicks every child until it shows it was clicked.
  Identity rows use `interaction()` boundaries, whose runtime finds the gate
  by the server-rendered id (probe: an altered id leaves the child
  unhydrated). Boundary-id equality and prefix presence are no longer
  asserted (J5.4, §5).
- One shared production build per bundler for all pages (plus the
  unminified source-map build and the dangling-name pin build).
- Split route options: per-route `codeSplitGroupings` (documented,
  docs/router/guide/automatic-code-splitting.md:166), explicit separate
  groups, one group, and the default (component split, pendingComponent
  eager) as a named mixed row (HYD-15); the three routes hydrate in one page.
- Exported widget initialized by an impure call: the goal "lazy or
  reported" becomes the real outcome (initializer runs once, renders,
  boundary children lazy, no warning required); red on both bundlers
  (count 2), pinned with the same root cause as the known-bugs-hydrate
  compiler pin (HYD-24).
- A package without side-effect hints: the chart placement is the
  bundler's call (eager with the real React on both bundlers; it was lazy
  only with the stand-in React).
- Vite dev: a real page (index.html, @vitejs/plugin-react, Vite's HMR
  client) requests the chunk before its parent module, renders it, and
  shows the edit.
- Rsbuild dev: the real packages instead of the stand-ins.
- Delete the Solid dev row: it rendered stand-in Solid packages through a
  string JSX runtime; real Solid needs solid-js, vite-plugin-solid and a
  linked @tanstack/solid-start, none of which resolve from
  start-plugin-core (no approved dependency). Solid compile coverage stays
  in hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts (framework: 'solid').

Pins re-checked red without .fails: the head-reads-Page pin
(DanglingNameError `_H2`, both bundlers), the unused exported boundary
(`lazy`, both), the impure exported initializer (count 2, both).

Subject: [PATCH 0450/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): event-based settle() for
 the Rsbuild dev-server harness

write(), rename() and settle() on the Rsbuild harness (FIX-PLAN A5, speedup
4): settle() waits, on the compiles' own hooks only, until no compile runs or
is pending (watchRun/done/failed, Rspack's `invalid`), Rsbuild recorded the
last compile, every app file the last compile read is as it was when that
compile started (before the plugins' own watchRun taps, whose writes the next
compile reads), and every written file is read by a compile or taken by the
caller's accept(). More than 10 compiles in one settle() is a rewrite loop.
This replaces the router-plugin harness's 750 ms quiet time.

Vite harness: `server.forwardConsole: false`. Vite 8 forwards a page's
console to the server log when it detects a coding agent running it, so
`logs` depended on who ran the tests; a page's console stays the page's.

Contract tests: a plugin writing a file in a compile, an unread written file
with and without accept(), a plugin rewriting a file on each compile.

Subject: [PATCH 0451/1425] test(router-plugin): the route generator in dev on
 a real page, Vite and Rsbuild

FIX-PLAN A5 (GEN-04, 13, 14, 21-26, 34, 35). The generator dev scenarios run
on a real dev server with the real router and React on a Chromium page, with
the dev servers' own watchers (and the generator's on Rspack), for Vite and
Rsbuild alike (generator-dev-scenarios.ts, harness generator-dev-app.ts):
- routes and parents from the live router (GEN-21), not the route tree text;
- a route's component loads on navigation: no script the page loaded before
  contains its marker, one after does (GEN-34; intermediate modules free);
- createFileRoute's path parsed, the rest of the file unchanged (GEN-22);
  the empty-file case uses a custom route template with its own marker;
- edits of shown, created, renamed and root routes are hot updates with no
  page load (GEN-13, GEN-14, GEN-23); the write-suppression and event-list
  checks are gone (implementation coverage);
- the created-route race (DV1/DV17) on the page, without injected events
  (GEN-26);
- a physical() mount outside the routes directory: create, edit, delete
  (GEN-04).
Rsbuild bundles the real @tanstack/react-router (router stub and alias
deleted, GEN-35) and waits with the harness's event-based settle() instead of
750 ms quiet times (speedup 4).

Moved to the slow tier (page): dev-server-generator, dev-server-new-routes.
New: rsbuild-dev-server-new-routes, known-bugs-rsbuild-generator,
generator-watch-mode (from rsbuild-dev-server-generator).

Watch mode (GEN-24, GEN-25): every build's callback error and
stats.hasErrors() are asserted, the bundle's route tree runs through the real
router in Node and renders the scaffold; closing the session must release
every file watcher it opened (SPEC J1.10), waited on Node's handles, not on
sleeps. Checked: with the generator's watcher left open (temporary src
change, reverted) the test fails ("still holds 3 file watcher(s)"). The old
test ignored the errors of every build: its .js app could not resolve the
generated extensionless imports (ESM package); the app now has its own
package.json.

Pins (Rsbuild, verified red without .fails):
- a created route file the generator cannot parse, fixed later, never joins
  ("no compile read routes/posts.tsx"); the "no Route export" twin is the
  same source line and stays a Vite control only;
- NEW: a route file created under a physical() mount outside the routes
  directory never joins ("no compile read features/b.tsx");
  router-generator-plugin.ts:93-97 (webpack :121-125).

Subject: [PATCH 0452/1425] test(router-generator): generator-dev keeps
 injected events as a supplement

FIX-PLAN A5 rows on rg/generator-dev.test.ts:
- GEN-14: "getRoutesByFileMap maps each route file ... after a rerun"
  deleted. It asserted the plugins' internal handshake map; the outcome (a
  created or renamed route, and the root route, hot-update on the page) is
  tested in router-plugin integration dev-server-new-routes.test.ts and
  rsbuild-dev-server-new-routes.test.ts ("an edit of a created/renamed route
  the page shows is a hot update", "an edit of the root route after a route
  was created is a hot update").
- GEN-13: "a new generator on an up-to-date app does not rewrite the route
  tree" (an mtime check of unchanged-write suppression) moved unchanged to
  outside-compiler-corpus/write-suppression.test.ts as an implementation
  test (package AGENTS.md keeps the suppression; SPEC J1.10 leaves the
  mechanism free).
- GEN-04: the injected-event physical() test stays, labelled a supplement
  of router-plugin's real-watcher physical() scenario; the file header says
  injected events are not watcher coverage.

Subject: [PATCH 0453/1425] test(start-plugin-core): render <Hydrate> modules
 with the real React, router and Start Hydrate in process

render.ts drops the stand-ins of A3b-1 (FIX-PLAN S09, HYD-01, HYD-04):
the fake Hydrate/hydrateStubs, the recording Hydrate that kept only
props.h (renderBoundaries), the fake lazyRouteComponent (chunkExportName,
renderChunk, loadClientModule) and the copy of the compiler's Hydrate
recognition used to order chunks. Graphs now link the real React,
react-dom/static, @tanstack/react-router and @tanstack/react-start-client
(Hydrate, strategies); test:unit depends on react-start-client:build (no
cycle with this package). New oracles: renderSource / renderServer /
renderClient, expectClientRendersLikeServer (markup incl. hydration ids),
expectRendersLikeSource (ids blanked vs the source, SPEC 5.17).

regression-helpers.ts: graphs that link real packages compile JSX with
React's automatic runtime; the text JSX stand-in stays the default only
for graphs without packages (24 tests in W3-start files).

Helper controls: S37 cross-branch id inequality removed; agreement and
distinct simultaneous ids kept; negative control for a client rendering
other children; fixtures gain the required `when` prop.

Subject: [PATCH 0454/1425] test(start-plugin-core): hydrate captures and
 ClientOnly server half on the real runtime

hydrate-captures: client output, server output and uncompiled source render
the same markup. New table row for V4 hole astra/14 (a let reassigned
before the boundary): red with the astra/14 patch applied, green without.
Two fixtures captured a local named `key` (React strips it; pinned in
known-bugs-hydrate): renamed to `field`.

clientOnlyJSX: real ClientOnly of @tanstack/react-router, server output
renders what the source renders while the children's libraries throw.
The Link-as-ClientOnly row uses CatchBoundary (real Link needs a router);
tsc against the real types: no error. Client half moves to
integration/clientOnlyJSX.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 0455/1425] test(start-plugin-core): boundary forms, split
 modules and Hydrate pins on the real runtime

All custom JSX runtimes, recording Hydrate stubs and fake react/router/
createServerFn stubs are gone. Id-agreement fixtures use idle() (load()
and visible() render no id with the real runtime). HYD-05 prefix
assertions removed. HYD-08 goals deleted (SPEC J5.5 requires rejection;
B:577/616/692 cover it). Prefetch rows (HYD-06), server-fn clicks
(HYD-14), client fallback receipt and when-function timing (HYD-12) move
to integration/hydrate-pages.test.ts. `when={() => 'custom'}` (TS2322)
becomes `when={() => idle()}`; tsc against the real types: no error.
Function-as-children with split={false} is TS2322 (children: ReactNode):
kept only as "compiled renders like the source". Every pin re-checked red
for its named bug without .fails. Solid rows: compile-level (solid-router
cannot link in process).

Subject: [PATCH 0456/1425] test(start-plugin-core): real SSR + hydrateRoot
 pages for <Hydrate> and <ClientOnly>

hydrate-pages.ts builds one app with Start's Vite plugin (development
build, real @tanstack/react-start), renders each fixture in the SSR build
and hydrates it in Chromium with onRecoverableError and console.error
recorded; scripts click children, observe requested scripts, mount
without SSR, or call a server fn by id through Start's server entry.

hydrate-pages.test.ts: HYD-04 identities (nested + sibling, repeated
instances, conditionals/callbacks, renamed, namespace, split={false},
dynamic split, astra/14 let), S37 branch switching after hydration,
HYD-06 prefetch rows (+ control, function prefetch state, split={false}),
HYD-12 function when (not called on SSR), HYD-14 server fn from split
children (request id executed by the SSR server entry), client-mount
fallback for the 13 fallback forms, onHydrated/prefetch callbacks,
interaction events option, click handler with return.
clientOnlyJSX.test.ts: fallback on SSR, children after hydration.

+ * (`hydrate-pages.ts`), and each child is exercised (a click must update
+ * it). React's recoverable errors and hydration warnings (development
+ * build) must stay empty. This is where the identities of the boundaries
+ * are checked (SPEC J5.4): whatever ids the compiler assigns, every
+ * boundary hydrates the HTML the server rendered and reaches the children
+ * the server rendered in it. Also: `prefetch` (J5.2, J5.6), a function
+ * `when` evaluated on the client only (J5.8), the fallback of a boundary
+ * mounted after startup (J5.3), and a server fn called from split children
+ * (J4.13).

Subject: [PATCH 0457/1425] test(react-start-rsc): RSC CSS delivery through the
 real transport (A3c)

A new integration tier (tests/integration, Vitest project 'integration',
Nx target test:integration depending on @tanstack/react-start:build) runs a
real React Start app with RSC enabled on a Vite dev server, built from the
linked @tanstack/react-start, @vitejs/plugin-rsc and @vitejs/plugin-react,
and reads a real page: the server component's content and the computed
styles of its CSS modules.

rsc-css.test.ts covers every RSC helper through named, renamed and
namespace imports of both module names, fragment roots (V4 red-astra/21),
a helper module with a global stylesheet, parenthesised and asserted
arguments, the options and plain-data model pass-through, look-alikes, a
project re-export, the client never loading a row's stylesheet, and the
J7.5 CSS hot updates (edit, double edit, rule removal, import removal,
no full reload). The pins (conditional arguments, dev warnings, comments,
chained call) keep their outcome through the real transport.

The integration project runs with NODE_ENV=development: the dev server
bakes the test process's NODE_ENV into the served client code, and
Start's RSC HMR client is set up under development only.

Subject: [PATCH 0458/1425] test(react-start-rsc): Start with a separate RSC
 provider on a real dev page (A13)

rsc-start-dev.test.ts: a handler runs in the provider environment with its
react-server conditions whether SSR or the browser calls it (S11, S18 case
3, S40); a handler edit reaches the next call and a component edit
hot-updates a route module that also declares a server function, with no
full reload (J3.6, S12 on Vite); two pins red through the real page: a
server function only server code calls is callable by id from the browser
(D6, S36), and a server function of a 'use client' module is a client
reference on the server (#7943, S21).

Subject: [PATCH 0459/1425] test(rsc, start-plugin-core): RSC CSS on Rsbuild,
 real Start dev pages for route-tree and handler edits (A13)

react-start-rsc: an Rsbuild dev-server harness (the built
@tanstack/react-start/plugin/rsbuild with RSC enabled, run in the app
directory as rsbuild dev does) and rsc-css-rsbuild.test.ts: the three RSC
helpers style a local server component through the Rsbuild transport, a
CSS edit updates the page without a full reload (J7.5), and a pin: Start's
Rsbuild virtual modules live under the process working directory, so the
app fails to compile when the process runs elsewhere (J4.16). The
fake-stream unit file rscCssTransform.test.tsx is deleted: every row it
had now runs through the real transport (rsc-css.test.ts,
rsc-css-rsbuild.test.ts).

start-plugin-core: start-router-dev-server HMR-33 runs on a real page
served by Start's dev middleware, navigating to the route after each
change (server-only -> page -> page without handlers -> server-only, and
the cold-start case); rsbuild/dev-server S12 opens a real page on Start's
Rsbuild dev server with its HMR client (next call runs the edited handler,
no full reload, the hot update carries no handler); the fake-forwarder
S11 block of start-compiler-dev-server is deleted (covered by
rsc-start-dev.test.ts with the real provider); createServerFn.test.ts
loses the compiler-level D6 pin (S36, now a page pin in
rsc-start-dev.test.ts) and the provider 'no react import' assertion (S40).

Subject: [PATCH 0461/1425] build(router-generator): add compiler-test-utils as
 a test devDependency

The generator tests use the shared oracles of @tanstack/compiler-test-utils
(diagnostics, determinism). It has no workspace dependencies, so the Nx graph
gets no cycle; the lockfile changes only in the router-generator importer.

Subject: [PATCH 0462/1425] test(router-generator): route file upkeep may
 change only what it owns

GEN-05: one helper, expectOnlyOwnedEdits (owned-edits.ts, with controls):
exact bytes outside the route id argument, the constructor callee and the
router package imports; inside those imports the other bindings keep their
imported name, local name and type/value meaning. Replaces withoutImports,
which dropped every import (an unrelated import could vanish unnoticed).

- GEN-06: the second createFileRoute call becomes an ordinary call (one
  route per route file).
- GEN-07/GEN-09: no semicolon or quote assertions on edits; the id is
  checked on its parsed value.
- GEN-08: the now unused createFileRoute import may stay or go.
- GEN-10/GEN-12: the logging test no longer requires a scaffold message or
  param warnings; it requires the helpers.tsx warning naming the file
  (diagnostics oracle), plus a real disableLogging check (no info logs).
- GEN-28: BOM rows and the BOM pin move to outside-compiler-corpus/bom.test.ts
  (SPEC 2.1 is BOM-free); CRLF and astral rows stay BOM-free.
- GEN-40: the lazy template uses component (tsc: 'staticData' does not
  exist in type 'LazyRouteOptions'); checked through the real router page.
- GEN-42: an id from a variable or an interpolated template may be repaired
  to the literal or reported naming the file.
- Route tree quote check skips literals holding quote characters.

Subject: [PATCH 0463/1425] test(router-generator): scaffolds render through
 the real router; pieces stay usable

- template.test.ts: the stub router, JSX runtime and Vue h (evaluateScaffold)
  are gone. Scaffolded React, Solid and Vue routes load through the real
  router and render with the target's own server renderer; the root route
  renders its child route's page (it has an Outlet).
- H.2 green-sol/01: the quote of the route id argument is the generator's
  edit (SPEC J1.2: free), so the quoteStyle check skips it; every other
  literal still follows quoteStyle (file-based-routing.md quoteStyle).
- route-tree.ts: loadedFiles() and observeRouteTree() (routes with full
  path, parent, file and the files that load lazily with them).
- route-pieces.test.ts: GEN-19, empty pieces: no inventory of empty
  options; the routes load and render. .lazy.vue pin (J1.17): the SFC is
  not loaded before the route renders.

Subject: [PATCH 0464/1425] test(router-generator): PIN-A and childless
 pathless layout pins; conflict diagnostics

- SPEC J1.14 (PIN-A): a pathless layout under a lazy-only route nests under
  its virtual anchor. The docs shape (posts.lazy.tsx + posts/_layout.tsx)
  passes on main (control); a layout one directory below the lazy-only route
  (app/posts.lazy.tsx + app/posts/drafts/_layout.tsx) is attached to /app:
  .fails pin, red without .fails (parent '/app' instead of '/app/posts').
- SPEC J1.15: a childless _auth.tsx / _auth.lazy.tsx next to index.tsx is a
  valid route: two .fails pins, red without .fails ('Conflicting
  configuration paths were found for the following routes: "/", "/"').
- GEN-29: conflict errors are checked with the diagnostics oracle (absolute
  or project-relative names, same-named files told apart).
- GEN-11/GEN-12: param name warnings are neither required nor forbidden
  (J1.12): the policy test moves to outside-compiler-corpus/
  param-name-warnings.test.ts with its own temporary app (the deleted
  validate-route-params.test.ts wrote into the shared generator fixture;
  its deletion landed in the previous commit), matching names, not prose.

Subject: [PATCH 0465/1425] test(router-plugin): drive the code splitter
 through a real Vite plugin host (F04, F05)

The in-process plugin host replayed hook filters, plugin order, resolveId/load
dispatch and refused asynchronous hooks (sync()). It is replaced by the
router plugin's public Vite adapters (tanStackRouterCodeSplitter with a
@tanstack/router-plugin/context context, or the composed tanstackRouter for
route HMR) in a real Vite dev server: Vite resolves the config, orders the
plugins, applies the hook filters, awaits the hooks and resolves and loads the
emitted modules; a recorder right after the router plugin observes each
module at the router transform boundary. command: 'build' compiles in a real
Vite production build. Compile helpers are async now (call sites awaited).

Deleted with the old host: createCodeSplitterTransforms (private plugin-name
dispatch), the webpack compiler stub and generatedRouteId (no consumers).
code-splitter-plugin-pipeline: query ids, route reuse, splitBehavior errors
(A9 diagnostics), plugin order with real @vitejs/plugin-react and
vite-plugin-solid configs, factory-route reporting all go through the host.

Subject: [PATCH 0466/1425] test(react-start-rsc): reconcile w2-j with w2-f's
 event-based settle() (no replay mode)

W2-f deleted the harness's file-event replay; createDevServer without
`browser` runs Vite's watcher and settle() waits for its reports. Doc
comment only, no behaviour change.

Subject: [PATCH 0467/1425] test(router-generator): fixtures checked through
 the real router, types in a slow tier

GEN-02: the 59 route tree snapshots (and the edited/scaffolded source
snapshots of file-modification and custom-scaffolding) are replaced:
- generator.test.ts: every fixture's tree is loaded by the real router;
  its routes (id, full path, parent, route file, files loaded lazily with
  the route) must equal generator-fixtures.ts, reviewed against the file
  naming and virtual route docs. Edited route files: expectOnlyOwnedEdits +
  constructor/id; custom scaffolds: the template's statements, and their
  pages render 'Hello <path>!'; header/footer lines of append-and-prepend.
- integration/fixture-types.test.ts (new slow tier, test:integration):
  J1.13, each tree types the same ids, full paths and parents. One
  TypeScript program per tree (each augments the router types globally;
  one shared program mixes them up), 9.9 s at 1 worker, so not in the fast
  tier. Two fixtures are .fails pins for the group layout types bug
  (inferFullPath, same as the real-router.test.ts pin).
- generator-fixture.ts: the fixtures' configuration and preparation,
  shared by both, runnable on a copy.
- Fixture inputs made valid modules: 13 root files called
  createFileRoute/createRootRoute without importing it or exported no
  Route; 4 virtual roots were createFileRoute('/') (types: a root route
  must be createRootRoute, which also made the parity check fail).
- The virtual-physical-empty-path-conflict-root fixture is deleted: its
  case is the outside-corpus characterisation
  outside-compiler-corpus/virtual-routes.test.ts (GEN-30, W2-e).
- The virtualGetRouteNodes test is deleted (unused exported helper, ruling
  2026-10-17; physical mounts are covered through the generator and the
  real watcher in router-plugin integration tests).
- GEN-29: conflict errors through the diagnostics oracle.
- CRLF: LF and CRLF sources give the same routes (not tree bytes).

Subject: [PATCH 0468/1425] test(router-generator): atomic publication with a
 reader and faults; EXDEV pin

- GEN-41 (J1.6): a reader of the route file and the route tree during
  every write and rename of a run (writes made in two halves through the
  generator's fs option) sees only the complete old or new contents; after
  a write failing half-way (ENOSPC) or a failing rename, both hold their
  complete old contents. Probe: publishing by writing over the destination
  (src change, reverted) fails the reader test.
- K-19 (J1.16): with tmpDir on another filesystem (real devices when the
  host has them: here /dev/shm vs /tmp; otherwise a fault failing renames
  across directories with EXDEV) the files are replaced atomically
  (new inode, reader sees complete contents). .fails pin, red without
  .fails: 'EXDEV: cross-device link not permitted, rename'. Probe: temp
  files beside the destination (the ruled fix, src change, reverted) pass.
- GEN-16/GEN-17: mode, owner and chown policy tests move to
  outside-compiler-corpus/file-metadata.test.ts (metadata is outside J1.2).

Subject: [PATCH 0469/1425] test(router-plugin): real importers for route
 exports, typed wrappers removed strictly (F16, F19, F28, F30, F35)

- loadRoute gains importBindings(names) (ctu importers: another module of
  the app importing the route file) and eagerModules (code of what loads
  with the route). Direct route.exports reads in IE, MS and KB (exported
  bindings, shared helpers, split-binding readers) now go through a real
  importer and compare with what the route uses (F16).
- KB useTitle pin: the title lives in staticData (tsc: the old top-level
  title is TS2353/TS2339 against the real declarations; the new fixture
  type-checks with the StaticDataRouteOption augmentation) and the hook's
  identity is compared with a real importer (F28). Re-checked red: the
  component calls another instance.
- MS .jsx store test: the assertion key renamed to what it checks (route
  module loads ./init without using it); real consumers and one init stay
  (F19, done by W2-b in substance).
- IE specifier split: absence checked on everything that loads with the
  route module, not the route module alone (F30).
- KB server-only options: options wrapped in as never / as any / satisfies
  object are statically visible and must be removed (refusal no longer
  accepted; tsc: valid under Start's route option types), new strict pin +
  a Vite build canary (one bundler: the transform decides) (F35). Opaque
  spread/computed/call rows keep their removal-or-refusal outcome.
  Re-checked red: serverImports 1 / server code eager.

Subject: [PATCH 0470/1425] test(router-plugin): #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ survives
 splitting, observed in production builds (F38)

The unit test required the annotation comment right before `function
makeLabel(` in every module declaring that name (an emitted-name and
printing requirement). Replaced by Vite and Rspack production client builds
of a route with a pragma and an annotated, effectful helper the split
component calls once unused: the unused call is gone and the used one still
renders; control without the annotation keeps the call. webpack is left
out: its minifier keeps the call even with autoCodeSplitting off, in every
spelling of the annotation (not a router plugin outcome). The deleted unit
test is covered by these builds (comment in code-splitter-dead-code.test.ts).

Subject: [PATCH 0471/1425] test(router-plugin): fixed-graph labelling
 controls, root route without options (F06, V2-30)

- regression-helpers.test: the harness labels are checked on a fixed graph;
  the compileRouteModules control no longer requires exactly one lazy (or a
  shared) module from the real compiler, only that every module it returns
  is reached by an import of another (SPEC 5.3).
- Unused inventory helpers deleted: eagerModuleIds, eagerImportSources,
  countAcrossModules, routeModuleSources.
- V2-30: createRootRoute() without options, through the host with and
  without HMR: valid modules, and the real router renders a child through
  the default Outlet (tsc: the fixture type-checks).

Subject: [PATCH 0472/1425] test(router-generator): dev runs compare routes,
 not tree bytes; broken edits need a located diagnostic

- GEN-33: a running generator's tree must give the real router the same
  routes (ids, full paths, parents, files, lazy files) as a fresh run's;
  hand-edited, corrupted and deleted trees must regenerate and give the
  routes of the original tree. Tree text is free (J1.5, 5.5).
- GEN-15: a route file broken by an edit may fail the run or warn, if the
  diagnostic names the file and the line of the problem (G5); main throws
  'Error transforming route file <abs>: SyntaxError: Unexpected token
  (3:22)'. The repaired-file check stays.

Subject: [PATCH 0473/1425] test(router-plugin): a computed key that is the
 only read of a shared binding (V4 astra/24)

Next to the object-key scope test: the split component reads a binding the
loader shares only through a computed object key; both see the one value and
its initializer runs once. (A loader-only writer of a shared let hits the
known read-only-import bug pinned in known-bugs-code-splitter-ssr-builds, so
the row uses a stateful initializer instead.)

Subject: [PATCH 0474/1425] test(router-plugin): an already lazy route
 component renders without a waterfall once preloaded (OQ13)

Real Vite client build in Chromium: lazyRouteComponent(() => import('../page'))
as the component; after the router preloaded and loaded '/', the first render
must show the page (no pending fallback) and request nothing (resource
entries). Control with autoCodeSplitting off passes; with splitting on the
splitter wraps the lazy value in its own chunk and the first render suspends
and requests page.mjs: new .fails pin (accepts leaving the value unsplit or
chaining the inner preload).

Subject: [PATCH 0475/1425] test(router-generator): helper tests become
 whole-generator scenarios; determinism; route group files

- GEN-03: utils.test.ts (111 tests of internal helpers, incl. the unused
  multiSortBy branch and a mandated sibling sort) is deleted (no contract
  tests for helpers, ruling 2026-10-17). Its unique scenarios are ported to
  full generation + the real router (route-paths.test.ts): [_][_]foo,
  un-nested bar_/index, [_]baz[_]/index, [_]a/bar[_]/[_baz_]/index and
  [_]auth/_admin/dashboard under pathless layouts; dots and [.] in virtual
  route paths. The rest is covered by fixtures (escaped underscores,
  pathless-to-index-preference, dot-escaped, custom tokens) and the
  FileRoutesByTo/ByFullPath type tests; generated names and import merging
  are free (5.1, 5.5).
- determinism.test.ts (J1.5 with ctu expectDeterministic): the filesystem
  listing order (readdir permuted at the fs boundary; writing files in
  another order changes nothing on tmpfs/ext4) and the working directory
  change neither the tree nor the routes. Probe: dropping the routePath
  tie-breakers of both sorts (src, reverted) fails the listing test.
- GEN-31: a standalone (group).tsx may fail the run or warn, naming the
  file; no channel required (SPEC 2.2).

Subject: [PATCH 0476/1425] test(router-plugin): code splitting in Vite
 full-bundle dev mode (V2-29)

New integration test: Vite dev with experimental.bundledDev (Rolldown's dev
engine bundles the client from index.html), the real router plugin and
@vitejs/plugin-react, a headless Chromium page with Vite's HMR client. The
home page renders; the split /about component's chunk is not among the
page's loaded scripts until the router navigates there; an edit of the
split component shows without a page reload and without page errors.

Subject: [PATCH 0478/1425] test(router-plugin): Solid loader and component
 groups in a real build (H.5)

The in-process Solid route of code-splitter-plugin-pipeline is checked at
compile level only (the Solid router cannot run in Node). A Vite client build
in Chromium now covers its runtime outcome: with codeSplitGroupings
[['loader'], ['component']] the loader gives its data without loading the
component's code, and the component renders.

Subject: [PATCH 0479/1425] test(start-plugin-core):
 router.codeSplittingOptions groups observed at run time (S47)

oneChunk compared the file names of the first lazy chunks holding the loader
and component markers (chunk shape, free per SPEC 5.3). The loader and the
component now each read a module that records when it loads (ctu
importers loadMarker); in each real build (client in Chromium, SSR in Node)
the script checks whether the loader's code is not loaded with the route but
loads once the router preloads the component, i.e. one group. Placement
(where) and the router render checks stay. Minimal edit in W3-start's file
(FIX-PLAN H.5 hands S47 to W3-split-*).

Subject: [PATCH 0480/1425] test(router-generator): type checks move to the
 slow tier; fixtures share a Vite server

Keeps the fast tier at its baseline time with the GEN-02 real-router checks:
- integration/route-types.test.ts: the J1.13 type checks of the
  real-router apps (cases now in real-router-cases.ts), the group layout
  types pin, and the FileRoutesByTo/ByFullPath tests of route-paths.test.ts
  (moved unchanged). The unit tests check the same apps' runtime.
- route-tree.ts: the generator fixtures (all rooted at this package) share
  one Vite server per frameworks set, forgetting the app's modules before
  each load (as the Solid server already did): generator.test.ts 1.75-1.95 s
  -> 1.19-1.46 s at 1 worker.

Subject: [PATCH 0481/1425] test(router-plugin): share builds and drop
 transform-decided cells in split integration files (B2 6/7)

- code-splitter-dead-code (integration): one production client app per
  bundler holds the unused-functions route and the #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__
  routes (annotated and plain control), built once, one run per route:
  6 builds -> 3. Which code is dropped stays decided per bundler.
- known-bugs client-builds: the exported errorComponent 'as any' pin keeps
  its Vite cell; the Rspack and webpack cells are decided by the same router
  transform (lazy or reported).
- known-bugs client-output: the ssr property control and the ssr() method
  canary keep their Vite cells (the transform decides whether a server-only
  option stays referenced); Rspack and webpack cells dropped.
Builds for these tests: 12 at the base, 9 now while covering 6 new rows
(F38 x3, F35 x3).

Subject: [PATCH 0482/1425] test(router-plugin): F37 unrelated factory comes
 from a real package of the app

The look-alike createFileRoute now comes from an installed package
(node_modules/other-router of the app) instead of a local module, as G15's
'same name exported by an unrelated package' reads.

Subject: [PATCH 0483/1425] test(router-generator): no quote pins on repaired
 ids in dev and race tests

Found by re-applying V4 green-sol/01 (ids printed with double quotes):
generator-dev 'a route file broken by an edit ...' and concurrent-write
'is processed before run() resolves' compared a repaired file's exact
bytes, pinning the quote of the edited id (free, SPEC J1.2). Both now use
expectOnlyOwnedEdits plus the parsed id.

Subject: [PATCH 0486/1425] test(router-generator): run the type tests in a
 project of their own

With Vitest projects, '--typecheck.only' on the command line did not reach
the unit project, so test:unit ran the runtime tests twice. The fast tier
is now two projects: unit (runtime) and types (the route tree type tests
the unit run generated), run one after the other by test:unit.

Subject: [PATCH 0488/1425] test(router-generator): split the fixture types
 over two slow-tier files

fixture-types.test.ts took 18.8 s under load (limit 15 s per file): the
checks move to a helper (integration/fixture-types.ts) and run in
fixture-types-physical.test.ts (with the two group-layout pins) and
fixture-types-virtual.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 0489/1425] test(react-start-rsc): type-check and lint tests/
 (HYD-30, HYD-33, HYD-32)

- tests/tsconfig.json (extends the package tsconfig, adds src/*.d.ts):
  every test:types:tsXX script also runs `tsc -p tests`; test:eslint
  lints ./src ./tests (the typed parser finds tests/tsconfig.json).
- The type tests (*.test-d.tsx) leave the unit runtime run: they assert
  nothing at runtime; test:types checks them.
- HYD-33: createServerComponent.test-d.tsx and
  renderServerComponent.types.test-d.tsx rewritten on the public entry
  (src/index): types inferred from real createCompositeComponent /
  renderServerComponent calls as in guide/server-components.md (slots,
  render prop args, component props, nested composites, renderables).
  Before: renderServerComponent.types.test-d.tsx imported two types that
  no longer exist (TS2724) and createServerComponent.test-d.tsx:86 failed
  (TS2344) - never noticed because nothing type-checked them; the other
  rows compared `null as unknown as JSX.Element` with JSX.Element.
  Verified: tsc 5.6-5.9, 6.0 and 7.0 pass; a wrong inference
  (`title` as number, ReactNode as number) and three neutralised
  @ts-expect-error inputs each make `tsc -p tests` fail.
- HYD-32: the two createRscProxy tests that probed React with a hand-made
  Proxy (and pinned the list of props React reads) replaced with real
  createRscProxy rendering (inline, nested selection, composite).
- Lint fixes in the runtime tests (imports, for(;;), nullable casts).

Subject: [PATCH 0490/1425] test(router-plugin): a computed key that is the
 only read of a loader-reassigned binding (V4 astra/24)

Closes the astra/24 hole (a free-reference walk that skips object keys): the
split component reads a module-level `let` only through `{ [kind]: true }`
and must see the loader's reassignment, rendered through the real router.
With the astra/24 patch applied the test fails on the module validator.

Pins a bug found on the way: a `let` that only the loader assigns moves to
the shared module, so the route module assigns an import ("Assignment to
constant variable").

Subject: [PATCH 0491/1425] test(router-plugin): JSX pragmas and license
 comments by rendered outcome (F12, F13, F14, F15/R-14, D-04)

The untouched file and the split route render through the project's real
JSX transform and real Emotion, in process (Vite's Oxc, leading pragmas
only) and in real builds (Rspack's SWC reads a pragma above any top-level
statement; Vite does not); the computed colour of the styled element is the
outcome in the browser. No runtime-import or `jsx(` spelling, no comment
position. D-04 is pinned: a non-leading pragma becomes effective in the
split component's module on Vite 8.

License comments above moved or deleted code stay in the route module
(R-14; main passes). Refresh pragmas run in a real Solid page; React's
`/* @refresh reset */` has no observable effect under Vite 8's
`@vitejs/plugin-react`, split or not, so there is no React row.

`loadRoute` takes the project's JSX settings (`jsx`) and
`expectValidModules` passes them to the validator, for classic-runtime
projects.

Subject: [PATCH 0492/1425] test(router-plugin): splitter diagnostics on the
 shared oracle, one route per file, scope cleanups (F11, F17, F18, F20, F21,
 F26, F27, F29, F39, F40)

Diagnostics go through the compiler-test-utils oracle: file, option name,
position, count; never prose. J2.8 now requires the option name (binding
allowed in addition): main names the export only, pinned in imports-exports,
known-bugs (errorComponent) and a real dev-server row (once per file, in
the terminal). J2.10/J2.11 keep file-only.

Plugin order: only the supported order in process; the other order is a
real-build row. The syntax-error row accepts structured fields or a frame.
Deleted (one route per file): the code-route rows of imports-exports,
known-bugs groupings and plugin-pipeline. F29: `tsc` against the real route
types rejects `[['loader'], ['component']]` (TS2322, string[][]); the
annotated form passes. F11: the unsplit control is an empty grouping, not a
root component. F17: no position of movable initialisers in effect logs.

Subject: [PATCH 0493/1425] test(router-plugin): production builds, source maps
 and build-level diagnostics by outcome (F22, F23, F24, F25, F32, F41, F42)

build-production: the public dev APIs are always scanned and React bundles
are compared, identifier by identifier, with a control build with route HMR
off (no private names, no dev-server marker collection, no workspace-path
ban). The console transcript test moves to outside-compiler-corpus.
build-source-maps: columns for unminified rows, a composed-maps row with
Babel before the router plugin, no `names` requirement. Production
warnings: the page's console is the outcome; the build warns only when a
permitted fallback stays eager. `this` in a split loader runs through the
real router and must match the unsplit result. esbuild: a refusal is a
build error naming esbuild and the option.

Subject: [PATCH 0494/1425] test(router-plugin): dev source maps (V2-15a) and
 persistent bundler caches (V2-28)

Vite dev: the served route module and every module derived from it (found
by following its imports) carry an inline map resolving each throw to the
route file's line; Rsbuild dev is pinned (unplugin drops the plugin's map).
webpack, Rspack and Rsbuild persistent caches: cold, cached and
unrelated-edit rebuilds of one app keep one instance of the shared state.
Harness hooks: `configure` (webpack/Rspack options) in compiler-test-utils,
`root`/`rsbuildConfig` in buildWithRsbuild.

Subject: [PATCH 0495/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): dev-server harnesses
 save files atomically

The settle() flake of the merged tier ("the file watcher did not report
src/base.css / src/a.ts") is a write the watcher saw half done. fs.writeFile
truncates and then writes. Vite's chokidar can stat the file in between,
report it empty, and drop the final write's event. A probe on Vite 8.3.4
shows this deterministically: chokidar reported size 0, while 19 bytes were
on disk, and nothing followed.

Both harnesses now save as editors that save atomically do (save-file.ts).
The contents go to a temporary file in `.harness-tmp/` next to the app
root, on the same filesystem but outside the app, then a rename replaces
the target in one step. Nothing in that directory is watched by Vite (root
only) or by Rspack, nothing in it is resolved or imported, and no route
generator scans it. Probes showed the effects. Vite reports a rename-over
as one `change` (and a new file as `add`) with the whole contents. Rspack
reports it in `modifiedFiles`. Rolldown's dev engine reports it as a
creation, so the bundledDev contract test now asserts the reported file,
not the event kind. A first try put the temporary directory under the
app's node_modules. Rspack watches that directory for resolution, so each
save started an extra compile that raced the real one, and the location
was rejected.

The Vite harness also fixes a race in what settle() returns. Vite can handle
a write's event (e.g. the synchronous full reload of a tsconfig.json change)
before settle() is called. The returned HMR payloads now count from the
first write since the last settle(), not from the call. This showed up as
"'once' does not log a violation again when the dev server reloads every
module" with an empty reload list.

No retries, waits or chokidar logic are added.

Subject: [PATCH 0496/1425] test(router-plugin): remove the plugin host's
 temporary projects after each test file

Vitest's workers do not run process 'exit' listeners, so the temporary
projects stayed in the OS temp directory. They are removed in an afterAll
hook registered when the test file imports the host.

Subject: [PATCH 0497/1425] test(react-start-rsc): RSC CSS rows as sections of
 one page; look-alike and unrecognised-form rows

rsc-css.test.ts (40 tests, 42 s at 1 worker: one page per row, every page
loading all 40 route modules) becomes three files on a shared harness
(rsc-css-app.ts):
- rsc-css-matrix.test.ts: helper x import form x module name (18 rows +
  per-row client control), 3.7 s at 1 worker.
- rsc-css.test.ts: argument shapes, helper module, undocumented inputs,
  look-alikes, unrecognised forms, pins (22 rows + controls), 3.9 s.
- rsc-css-hmr.test.ts: J7.5 CSS edits (unchanged), ~3 s.
Each file serves one page whose loader calls every row's server fn; each
row is its own module with its own CSS module (content differs per row:
Vite's scoped class names hash the stylesheet content, so identical
stylesheets shared class names and styled each other's rows), its own
error boundary, Suspense boundary and settled loader result. Flight rows
fetch once per row (a remount re-ran the effect and exhausted Chromium's
request resources).

Negative style checks no longer wait out a 3 s timeout: settledValue
(rsc-app.ts) returns the expected value as soon as it shows, or the value
once the page has had no request in flight for 500 ms.

New rows (SPEC J7.2, G15; FIX-PLAN D "namespace RSC helpers"): a local
shadowing the namespace import gets exactly its arguments; a project
wrapper and a variable alias of renderServerComponent still render (CSS
not required). The 7 pins were re-checked without .fails: ternary/&& and
chained unstyled (rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)), no warning diagnostic, comments
rendered as text.

Subject: [PATCH 0498/1425] test(start-plugin-core): delete the S20 project
 re-export transform goal

FIX-PLAN S20 / D "namespace RSC helpers": SPEC J7.2 (V0.3) makes project
re-exports of the RSC helpers not a recognised form; the goal pin required
a configured transform to reach calls imported through a project
re-export. The behaviour that remains required (the call still works) is
covered through the real transport by react-start-rsc
tests/integration/rsc-css.test.ts "renderServerComponent through a
project re-export still renders". Minimal edit in W3-start's file (the
describe held only this pin).

Subject: [PATCH 0499/1425] test(react-start-rsc): V2-12 (c) and V2-13 on Vite
 and Rsbuild RSC; settle the 'use client' pin

- rsc-start-dev.test.ts: the provider test now covers V2-12 (c): with a
  package exporting react-server/browser/default entries, the loader's own
  code runs `default` during SSR, the provider runs `react-server` for the
  SSR-forwarded and the browser call and initialises the package once
  (`MARK_REACT_SERVER:1` after both), the browser runs `browser`, and no
  script the browser loaded has another environment's entry (the check
  covers the package's pre-bundled browser entry).
- The 'use client' pin (S21) waits for the answer or a settled network
  instead of a 5 s timeout; re-checked red without .fails ("widget " - no
  data). D6 pin unchanged, still red ({ result: 'MARK_INTERNAL' }).
- rsc-start-hmr.test.ts: the J3.6 / V2-13 Vite edit test moved out of
  rsc-start-dev.test.ts (per-file time), unchanged.
- rsc-start-rsbuild.test.ts (new): the same V2-12 (c) outcomes on Start's
  Rsbuild RSC layer, and V2-13's handler half on Rsbuild (the loader and
  the next call run the edited handler, no full reload, the client hot
  update has no handler). The component-edit half needs React Refresh
  (`@rsbuild/plugin-react`), which react-start-rsc cannot resolve.

Subject: [PATCH 0500/1425] test(react-start-rsc): production Vite build with
 RSC served by Start's preview server

startRscPreviewServer (rsc-app.ts): `createBuilder().buildApp()` of the
client/ssr/rsc environments in a ctu `createApp` directory (built
@tanstack/react-start linked), then `vite preview` (Start's preview
server runs the built server entry), NODE_ENV=production while it serves.

rsc-start-build.test.ts (2.4 s): V2-12 (c) at the build level (SSR's own
code runs `default`, the provider `react-server` once for the SSR and the
browser call, the browser `browser`; no file of dist/client has a server
entry, and the check sees the browser entry), and the three RSC helpers
style their server components in production.

Finding (upstream, not pinned): like dev (W2-j finding 2), the `rsc`
production build leaves a node_modules dependency external, so Node
imports it at run time without the `react-server` condition (the provider
ran `default`); the app bundles it with environments.rsc.resolve.noExternal.

Subject: [PATCH 0501/1425] test(router-plugin): route HMR page waits with
 settle() and reports warnings as diagnostics

The page's edit() waits for the server with the dev-server harnesses'
event-based settle() (Vite: watcher report, handling of each event, plugin
writes; Rsbuild: compiles read the edit, nothing pending) instead of its
own hotUpdate-hook counter, and replaces the 100 ms quiet time with events:
the server received every invalidation the page's HMR client sent (Vite's
vite:invalidate, counted on both sides), the client applied every update
the server sent, and a full reload loaded.

warnings() returns diagnostics: the server process's console is captured
with the shared captureConsole while the page opens, edits or clicks
(filtered by the app root, as concurrent pages share the process), the dev
server's logger and the page's console warnings through diagnosticsOf.
Consumers match the file with findDiagnostics. captureConsole now allows
overlapping captures (concurrent tests), with a control.

Subject: [PATCH 0502/1425] test(router-plugin): handleRouteUpdate tests
 navigate a client router (HMR-24, HMR-25)

HMR-24: the index-route tests no longer read routesByPath or compare it with
buildRouteTree(). They navigate to the paths and route templates
(/livestock/$farmId/medicine, its pathless 'new' child, /path) before and
after the update and assert the deepest match and the routes the router
resolves the destination to (the index route's search middleware runs).
Verified: re-adding main's old bug (routesByPath[oldRoute.fullPath] =
oldRoute after the rebuild, #7422) fails both tests; dropping the
generated id/path preservation fails 11 tests.

HMR-25: every test uses the client router with a real memory history and
the right initial URL; the server router with a hand-written inert history
is gone.

Subject: [PATCH 0503/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Start compiler oracles
 without prose, inventories or the JSX stand-in

- S06: client/SSR outputs are checked by what evaluating them loads
  (moduleLoads + expectNotLoaded), never by exact import lists; type-only
  syntax is no load.
- S08: callerRpcId reads serverFnMeta.id whatever other fields it carries.
- S05/S07/sol-10 (H.2): compile errors through the shared diagnostics oracle
  (expectCompileError: API named in the diagnostic's own words, position);
  misplacedServerFnRejection and the returned-builder regex are gone.
- S13/S14/S15/S16/S17: declaration-site goals split (nested no-capture =
  support goals; other positions = works or rejected at the call);
  rejection branches removed from required-support wrappers; capture pin
  accepts a clear capture diagnostic or correct per-instance calls.
- New pin: next to another Start factory, a misplaced createServerFn is
  rejected without a position (handleCreateServerFn.ts:232, SPEC G5).
- S18 (cases with unconditional window reads), S19, S20, S21 (compile-level
  directive pin; real pin in react-start-rsc rsc-start-dev), S26, S29, S33,
  S46 deletions; S38 real middleware row; S41/S42 moved to
  outside-compiler-corpus/compiler-seams.test.ts as internal controls.
- S04: unchanged-input repeatability and per-version agreement.
- S22: tsc against the real declarations (packages/react-start, tsc 7):
  .validator() TS2554, env fns without impl TS2554, destructured server fn
  TS2339 -> labelled malformed-input controls; .handler() type-checks ->
  G5 diagnostics tests (S23/S24 line endings, position and column).
- H.5: jsxToText deleted; evaluated modules link the real React/router.

 and relocation, behavioural resolver and pragma checks, #7213 rows

- S01/A11: compiler and build ids are compared at the same root (repeated
  and reordered: build-harness StartBuild.rebuild builds the same app dir
  again); relocated roots are checked for correctness only.
- S02: a custom generateFunctionId's returned id is what clients and the
  provider use; the filename spelling is free.
- S03: colliding custom ids must de-duplicate (same-id, same-id_1) and stay
  paired in both discovery orders (passes on Vite and Rsbuild).
- S23/S31: the resolver is evaluated (id -> handler, client/server access,
  unknown id), deterministic over discovery orders; no prose, no source text.
- S30: pragma rows assert the runtime Oxc selects, not comment text.
- S32: the error-envelope control resolves the handler by the reported id.
- S26 helper control: map checked through trace-mapping; null convention
  labelled internal.
- G.3 :1783: #7213 rows for a middleware .server() caller (passes on both
  bundlers) and HTTP calls by id, each with the app files written in both
  orders; the server-fn caller stays a Vite pin (red: 'Server function info
  not found').
- Library-wrapper pin: a build error must name createServerFn at the
  library or the user's call (expectSourceError), no prose regex.
- startRuntimeLinks: the dead 'app brings its own react-start' branch is
  gone (call sites in dev-server.ts and rsbuild-dev-server.ts updated).

Subject: [PATCH 0505/1425] test(router-plugin): dev-server pins render the
 served route and match the generated tree (HMR-18, HMR-27, HMR-29)

HMR-27: the out-of-order edit tests no longer start a second dev server at
another root and compare export and import inventories with it. After the
edit, the route file's modules are requested in the tested order (Vite
keeps each result until the next edit), then the served route module is
loaded as a page loads it (evaluateServed, client environment: what the
server last compiled for each module, split chunks imported by the real
router's lazy components) and its split components are rendered. CardB
now counts its renders in module state, so the 'adding' pin observes two
module states (B1, B1 instead of B1, B2). Verified red without .fails:
removing -> SyntaxError: Export 'CardB' is not defined in module; adding ->
second render B1. Controls (route module first) and the exported-helper
row pass.

HMR-29: the tsr.config.json tests import the generated route tree into
the real router (SSR environment) and assert what /about matches instead
of searching the tree text for fullPath: '/about'. Pin red without .fails:
expected '/' to be '/about'.

HMR-18: expectExportedRouteOptions and expectSharedOverloads read the
route module's exports through a real second module of the app
(importerSource, imported in the SSR environment) instead of the route
module's namespace; the lazy-option preload probe is gone (renders
compared), the pinned cases render markers.

Subject: [PATCH 0506/1425] test(router-plugin): React Refresh outcomes of
 route components on a real page (HMR-17)

The in-process checks of which names React Refresh's transform registers
and which hook signatures it computes are replaced by edits on a real page
(Vite + @vitejs/plugin-react, real browser): the edit shows its new code in
place, without a reload or errors, and the edited component is not mounted
anew (countMounts: a state initializer).

- integration/route-hmr-browser-names.test.ts: lowercase function
  components of component/errorComponent/pendingComponent with the default
  and per-option groupings (each shown by its own route state); lowercase
  function, overloaded, exported, default-exported declarations (split and
  unsplit); unsplit const arrow, self-naming function expression, export
  list; a reassigned declaration in a .jsx route.
- integration/route-hmr-browser-options.test.ts: inline anonymous function
  and parenthesized arrow (split and unsplit); root route components inline,
  as lowercase functions and with context type arguments (shell, root,
  not-found shown together, root keeps its state); component options added
  before a stateful inline component (the app router has default pending
  and error components, so the route's boundaries do not change: adding a
  boundary makes React mount the component anew, which is the router's
  rendering, not the compiler's); a body edit of a custom hook keeps the
  component, a change of its hooks shows without errors.
- known-bugs-route-hmr (integration): page pins for split lowercase
  variables (red: applied without showing page v2), the lowercase function
  that is also the unsplit pendingComponent (red: Export 'SplitComponent'
  is not defined) and a split component exported by an export list (red:
  Export 'page' is not defined, checked by importing the module in the
  page).
- known-bugs-route-hmr (unit): the registration describe is deleted; the
  pendingComponent and export-list pins keep their validity and render
  checks, the export-list pin reads the export through a real importer
  (importFromRoute) instead of the namespace.
- react-refresh-route-components: registration and signature tests
  deleted; exported lowercase components are read through a real importer
  module in the dev server (importFromRouteModule); the inner-binding and
  imported-component rows keep their results.
- regression-helpers: expectRegisteredRouteOption and reactRefresh and
  their controls deleted (no consumer left).
- route-hmr-page: countMounts/mountsOf, routerOptions for the app's router.

Mutation checks (product src, reverted): skipping the lowercase rename and
the split-chunk rename fails all 14 names rows; not hoisting inline
components fails 9 options rows; order-dependent hoisted names fail the
option-insertion row (unsplit).

Subject: [PATCH 0507/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Start route HMR controls
 on real pages, HMR API checks of client and server output (HMR-08)

The dev controls no longer look for route HMR spellings in served code
(they passed on any bundler HMR). They open the route file on a real page:
Vite dev with Start's whole Vite plugin and @vitejs/plugin-react, and
Rsbuild dev with Start's Rsbuild plugin and HMR; an edit of the loader shows
the new data without a reload, which needs route HMR (otherwise no module
accepts the edit). The Vite row also checks that the server environment's
route module uses no HMR API (J3.7).

The production rows drop the private names (tsr-route-id,
tsr-split-component, $RefreshReg$, TSRFastRefreshAnchor, ...) and check
the bundlers' HMR APIs in every client and server chunk (partial checks:
how route HMR is written is free). Start offers no option to turn route HMR
off, so no paired HMR-off build is possible through its public options.

Mutation checks (src, reverted): Start's client addHmr false fails both dev
controls; the server environment's addHmr true fails the Vite row with
__vite_ssr_import_meta__.hot in the served server route module.

Subject: [PATCH 0508/1425] test(router-plugin): route HMR debug output tests
 outside the corpus, scoped to debug output (HMR-09)

route-hmr.test.ts's 'serving a route prints nothing to the console' moves to
outside-compiler-corpus/route-hmr-debug-output.test.ts (React and Solid
rows). Instead of forbidding any log, the tests compare what serving the
same route prints (captureConsole) with and without TSR_VITE_DEBUG: with
default options nothing of what TSR_VITE_DEBUG=router-plugin adds is
printed, and TSR_VITE_DEBUG=start-plugin-core prints what the default does.
Mutation (debug on by default, reverted): the three tests fail.

Subject: [PATCH 0509/1425] test(start-plugin-core): runtime group loading,
 user-code builds, S35/S48

- S47: router.codeSplittingOptions placement and grouping observed at run
  time (modules recording when they load; the loader call loading the
  component's code), not by chunk file names.
- S48: the bundled-dev client label may be in any number of chunks.
- S35: delete the negative dev generateFunctionId row (dev ids are free,
  SPEC J4.4); production customisation and dev agreement stay covered.
- New integration/start-build-user-code.test.ts: S28 __NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__
  through real builds (with a no-Start control module); V2-23 decorated
  classes and an assert import attribute build and run on Vite and Rsbuild,
  plus a pin: the decorated class only a handler uses stays in the client
  (class DCE root cause); S18 case 2: an ssr: false route with browser-only
  code in its component and a server fn renders and answers by id.
- V2-23 fast rows: assert import attribute in every output; decorated
  classes compile to valid modules.

Subject: [PATCH 0511/1425] test(start-plugin-core): read mock access
 diagnostics and report suggestions through the diagnostic oracle

The runtime diagnostic of a used mock (mockAccess) is now identified by
severity and the denied import (as written or its resolved file) through
@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/diagnostics, never by its sentences
(Mocked import used in dev client, Denied import:, Access:). Build reports
name the rule and suggest a fix in the right direction (an API that keeps
code on the server or on the client), whatever the wording; the
both-markers error names the file and both markers.

Mock mode always logs (user ruling 2026-10-19): server rows for mock-mode
builds (report + access pins, Vite and Rsbuild) and Rsbuild dev SSR
mockAccess rows (pass on main). The spc Rsbuild harness gains a start
option for Start's whole plugin.

Subject: [PATCH 0512/1425] test(start-plugin-core): solid-js and
 vite-plugin-solid devDeps for real Solid Hydrate pages

Approved in DECISIONS 2026-10-19 (start-plugin-core Solid devDeps). The
integration tier also builds @tanstack/solid-start (task-level dependsOn,
no package dependency, so no Nx cycle). One vite copy: spc and ctu resolve
the same vite@8.3.4 variant; one solid-js@1.9.12 for spc, solid-router and
solid-start.

Subject: [PATCH 0513/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Hydrate pages on Rsbuild
 and Solid, parent updates, namespace pins
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- hydrate-pages.ts builds React apps with Vite or Rsbuild and Solid apps
  with Vite + vite-plugin-solid (Solid's hydrate after its hydration
  script); build-harness gets a minimal framework option (core options +
  linked @tanstack/solid-start and solid-router).
- The React page suite (hydrate-pages-react.ts) runs per bundler:
  hydrate-pages.test.ts (Vite) and hydrate-pages-rsbuild.test.ts.
- New hydrate-pages-solid.test.ts: identity rows, prefetch, fallback of a
  boundary appearing after hydration, namespace and destructured Hydrate.
- V2-19: split children follow parent updates, context, callbacks and a
  keyed reorder like the split={false} reference (React Vite/Rsbuild,
  Solid).
- §D namespace goal moves to real hydration (.fails, React per bundler
  and Solid): its children's code must load when it hydrates. Verified
  red without .fails: nothing loads on the click.
- New Solid pin: a context declared in the page module is re-created in
  the chunk (Solid twin of the known-bugs-hydrate context pin).

 /**
- * `<Hydrate>` pages in a real browser: the SSR build renders the page, a
- * page of headless Chromium hydrates that HTML with the client build
- * (`hydrate-pages.ts`), and each child is exercised (a click must update
- * it). React's recoverable errors and hydration warnings (development
- * build) must stay empty. This is where the identities of the boundaries
- * are checked (SPEC J5.4): whatever ids the compiler assigns, every
- * boundary hydrates the HTML the server rendered and reaches the children
- * the server rendered in it. Also: `prefetch` (J5.2, J5.6), a function
- * `when` evaluated on the client only (J5.8), the fallback of a boundary
- * mounted after startup (J5.3), and a server fn called from split children
- * (J4.13).
+ * The React `<Hydrate>` page tests (`hydrate-pages-react.ts`) on an app
+ * built with Start's Vite plugin.

Subject: [PATCH 0515/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Hydrate HYD rows of wave 3
 and namespace negatives
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- HYD-07: unsafe children (function child, hook call) must be rejected by
  the client compilation itself, naming the pattern and a documented fix
  at a line of the boundary (shared A9 diagnostics); dynamic split={flag}
  rows; literal split={false} controls for function/hook/this/super.
  New pin: the this/super rejection names no fix (docs: wrap in a
  function component or split={false}); React.useId pin now asks for the
  rejection (SPEC J5.5). Both verified red without .fails for that reason.
- HYD-09: split="false" row deleted (tsc: TS2322 'string' is not
  assignable to 'boolean | undefined'); split={false} rows cover the
  supported opt-out.
- HYD-10: shared-object fallback goal deleted (SPEC J5.3 / docs allow
  keeping it); the render row stays.
- HYD-11: module-level fallback rows keep validity and child output, no
  whole-module marker check.
- HYD-13: children={null}/{null} control (tsc: accepted); the childless
  row (tsc: rejected, children required) is labelled a JS mistake.
- HYD-20: directive membership in the prologue, order free.
- HYD-21: source maps checked on parsed string tokens of parent and
  child throws through the shared consumer; hand needles removed.
- HYD-22: generated-name fixtures always include fixed names; no
  nonempty requirement.
- §D: namespace negatives (another package's namespace, a shadowing
  local) are left alone; the in-process namespace goal and the B row
  moved to real hydration (integration/hydrate-pages-*).

Subject: [PATCH 0516/1425] test(start-plugin-core): move the trace and
 formatter internals out of the compiler corpus
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

trace.test.ts calls exported internals (ImportGraph, buildTrace,
formatViolation): it moves to outside-compiler-corpus/ as an internal
control (SPEC §8, V1 ip S14/S24). Its prose checks (specifier pattern,
file pattern, Suggestions:, the suggestion sentences, the JSX example)
become the rule named through the diagnostic oracle and the direction of
the suggestions; the weak maxDepth/cycle rows are deleted (covered by
build-options maxTraceDepth and reported-location's cycle row), as is the
absolute-vs-relative specifier spelling row (SPEC §5.7 frees it). Dev
reports suggest a server-side fix for a client violation and a client-side
fix for a server one; suggestedDirections has its own adapter rows.

Subject: [PATCH 0517/1425] test(start-plugin-core): replace the
 leading-comment rewrite pins with JSX pragma app twins

IP-S11/S12: the license rows are deleted (OQ12, 2026-10-18: comment
placement is free for the import-protection rewrite). The JSX pragma pin
needed a JSX plugin that runs after the rewrite; on real apps Vite (Oxc)
and Rsbuild (SWC) compile JSX first, so the app twins pass: a pragma
leading a denied file, a denied specifier (rewritten in the importer) and
a pragma after a directive (the Yuku regression the control guarded), on
Vite dev and Vite/Rsbuild mock-mode builds. No reachable failing order was
found with the available plugins, so the internal pin is removed.

Subject: [PATCH 0518/1425] test(start-plugin-core): transformImport rows on
 the written specifier and the resolved target; actionable compile errors

IP-S06: the rows denying the rewritten specifier `ui-lib/button` are
deleted (SPEC J6.1: a specifier rule matches what the user wrote); the
`ui-lib` pin stays and now also asks for the importer at the import or the
use. New: the file rule and a server-only marker apply to the module the
rewritten import resolves to (pass), and the location of a file-rule
violation on a rewritten import is pinned (reported at 2:25, neither the
import nor the use; the cause of the deleted 2:16 pin).

IP-S21: a module that fails to compile fails the build naming the broken
file and line through the diagnostic oracle, other diagnostics allowed; a
missing module ends the Rsbuild dev compile with errors that name it (file
or specifier), not one exact transcript.

Subject: [PATCH 0519/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): diagnostics read a code
 frame quoted inside Rspack's report box

Rspack prints a loader's error inside a miette box whose lines start with
a vertical bar, so the Babel frame the Start compiler throws (which marks
the boundary's line with >) was not recognised as a position. Control row
added; it is red without the change.

    (React Refresh) and Solid (vite-plugin-solid). This is also the real
    Solid <Hydrate> dev row (DECISIONS 2026-10-19) replacing the stand-in
    deleted in wave 2.
  - Splitter composition: a split route component's boundaries hydrate
    the server HTML; the deferred child's code loads on its interaction.
- dev-server.ts: minimal framework option (Solid core options, linked
  solid-start/solid-router, noExternal).
- hydrate-build: HYD-07 file + line of the rejection in real Vite and
  Rsbuild builds (function child, hook call).

Rsbuild dev edit rows are not added: a React Start app on Rsbuild needs
@rsbuild/plugin-react for React Refresh, not a start-plugin-core devDep.

Subject: [PATCH 0521/1425] test(start-plugin-core): a *.client.* module only
 ClientOnly children use stays out of the server build

DECISIONS 2026-10-18 (server-side *.client.* imports): the hydrated page
renders the children, the default-config build reports no
import-protection violation, and the server bundle has none of the
module's code. Control: the same module used outside ClientOnly fails the
build with 'Import denied in server environment'.

Subject: [PATCH 0522/1425] test(start-plugin-core): locations accept the
 import or any surviving use; internals out of the corpus

IP-S07: a trace is any real import chain from the entry to the importer
(dev and build rows accept both chains of the fixture). IP-S08: a reported
location is the original import (any column of its line) or a genuine
surviving use, in any file spelling that names the file (mentionsFile);
the marker rows also accept the marked module (audit F ASK-1). Wrong
places (db.eq, type positions, removed boundaries, compiled coordinates)
still fail.

IP-S24/S14/S26: the Unicode/CRLF, catch-clause and scope-shadowing shapes
of the internal usage lookup, a wrapped createServerOnlyFn argument, a
dynamic import with attributes and a re-export are ported to real reports
on Vite/Rsbuild dev and build. New pins (Rsbuild): the wrapped boundary use
is reported (5:48), a dynamic import is reported off its line (dev 1:1,
build 1:33). The internal pin they replace and the any-offset/any-caret
rows are deleted; the remaining internal helper tests (usage lookup,
location index/cache/snippet, matcher arrays, utils, dedupe keys, import
sources) move to outside-compiler-corpus/importProtection as internal
controls. The original-usage table and the real source-map rows stay
(compiler-level, V1 ip R01).

Subject: [PATCH 0524/1425] test(start-plugin-core): real pages, requests and
 MDX for the dev import-protection rows
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

IP-S19: the client-entry, server-entry and split-component rows no longer
load Start's generated virtual ids or parse `import("...")`: a real
browser page served by Start's dev middleware runs the app's client entry
(control: its denied import is a safe mock; pin: not logged) and renders a
split route (`ssr: false`) with the mock; the app's server entry runs for
an HTTP request (control + pin). New file dev-page.test.ts.

IP-S09: the tsconfig reload rows no longer require Vite's full-reload
message; the 'always' row is the control that the modules were
transformed again.

IP-S22: the MDX rows run @mdx-js/rollup with its SourceMapGenerator; a
reported location in the page must be the original import or use (main
names the page without a location, which SPEC §5 item 14 allows). The
denied-specifier pin asks for the same.

IP-S23: the `.page` rows are named as the custom module type they are; the
same pins through the real @mdx-js/loader on Rsbuild dev (control passes),
asking for the page located in its MDX source if at all.

Subject: [PATCH 0526/1425] test(start-plugin-core): dev rows for dependency
 markers and the first-transforming environment

SPEC J6.10 (V1 F note for W3-ip): a client import of a dependency that
marks itself server-only and is not pre-bundled (optimizeDeps.exclude);
by default the client gets the real module unlogged, with excludeFiles: []
it is logged and mocked. Both are pinned: Vite dev checks the marker
anyway and then fails to load the dependency with an internal error
("The "code" property of ModuleInfo is not supported").

SPEC J6.11 (V1 F note for W3-ip): a module both environments load logs
each environment's violation whichever environment transforms it first
(passes).

Subject: [PATCH 0528/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Hydrate rows on Rsbuild
 for Solid pages and React dev edits

- Solid page suite (hydrate-pages-solid.ts) runs per bundler:
  hydrate-pages-solid.test.ts (Vite) and the new
  hydrate-pages-solid-rsbuild.test.ts (Rsbuild with @rsbuild/plugin-babel
  and per-environment @rsbuild/plugin-solid presets, solid condition).
  The Solid Rsbuild app is a production build: a development-mode
  Rsbuild build of a Solid app mismatches at the root even for a page
  without <Hydrate>. Both pins (namespace, page-module context) verified
  red on Rsbuild without .fails.
- V2-20 on Start's Rsbuild dev server for React with
  @rsbuild/plugin-react (React Refresh). The Solid Rsbuild dev row is not
  added: a plain Solid Start page (no <Hydrate>) served by Start's Rsbuild
  dev server does not hydrate ('template is not a function'), also with
  @tanstack/solid-start's own preset configuration.

Subject: [PATCH 0529/1425] test(start-plugin-core): the shadowing location
 rows read the import like the shadows do

V4 red-astra/19 (catch parameters no longer shadow the import in the usage
lookup) escaped the acceptance corpus once the internal lookup tests moved
out: the ported rows used a call for the real use, which the lookup
prefers over the shadow's read. The real use is now a read too; the four
catch-clause rows go red under the variant (reported at 3:49, the catch
body), green on main.

Subject: [PATCH 0532/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): dev servers bind their
 own port
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Rsbuild harness probed a free port, closed it, and Rsbuild bound it
after the first compile; Vite's `listen(0)` / `port: 0` (8.3.4) probes,
closes and binds too. Under load another process takes the port
(EADDRINUSE / "Port … is already in use").

- Rsbuild (page): Rsbuild's custom server API (`middlewareMode`,
  `middlewares`, `connectWebSocket`, `afterListen`) on an HTTP server that
  binds port 0; the HMR client connects to the page's port.
- Vite: `listen()` on Vite's default port with `strictPort` off: the real
  server binds and moves to the next port while one is in use; `url` reads
  the bound port. Same for start-plugin-core's bundled dev styles test and
  the react-start-rsc preview server.

Under a port-churn load: route-hmr-browser 2/15 runs failed before, 0/30
after; real Rsbuild starts 40/1000 failed before, 0/1000 after; real Vite
listen(0) 19/5000 vs listen() 0/5000.

Subject: [PATCH 0533/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): remove the dev servers'
 saving directory with the app

Temporary files of atomic saves go to a per-app `<root>.saving` directory
next to the app, removed by the app's dispose, instead of a shared
`.harness-tmp/` left next to the apps.

 and types projects

`test:unit` was two commands, so `-- --maxWorkers=N` only reached the
second. Vitest runs type tests in a group after the runtime groups, so one
run of both projects keeps the order: 336 passed + 24 expected fail, 24
files, before and after.

Subject: [PATCH 0535/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): mentionsFile reads file
 names with brackets

Route file names hold `()[]{}` (`(group).tsx`, `[id].tsx`, `{-$lang}.tsx`).
Tokens may now hold bracketed groups without separators, commas or colons
(position suffixes and bracket-quoted paths stay out); bracket-free tokens
are still read. New rows fail on the old reader (7), controls pass on both.
router-generator's `(group).tsx` test uses the oracle instead of matching
the path itself.

Subject: [PATCH 0538/1425] test(router-plugin): one pin for the
 loader-assigned shared let

Both red for the same reason without `.fails`: the `let` the loader assigns
moves to the shared module and the route module assigns the import
(code-splitter-scope: "Assignment to constant variable" at the loader;
ssr-builds row 1: Vite "[ASSIGN_TO_IMPORT] Cannot assign to import 'count'"
in routes/index.tsx). The real-build pin stays; the scope file cites it.
The in-process linker has live bindings, so the old "snapshots" reason was
stale.

Subject: [PATCH 0540/1425] test(start-plugin-core): compiler-level V2 inputs
 (V2-02, V2-08, V2-11, V2-25, V2-31)

Unresolvable server-only imports (cloudflare:workers, node:fs) compile
for the client and are read by the server outputs; a validator schema a
client form also uses keeps its behaviour while a validator-only schema
is not loaded; .jsx modules get the stub and render; a server fn builder
reused as middleware contributes its middleware; options by identifier
and spread keep the method. Every fixture type-checked against the built
@tanstack/react-start declarations (TypeScript 6.0.2): no errors.

Subject: [PATCH 0541/1425] test(start-plugin-core): real-build V2 gaps (V2-02,
 05, 07, 08, 09, 11, 12, 15b, 17, 24, 25, 32)

Start's Vite and Rsbuild builds: server code under sideEffects true/false/
array and PURE hints, dynamic imports in handlers and of server fn
modules, unresolvable platform imports with an external server build,
global createStart middleware, .jsx modules and routes, a builder reused
as middleware, libraries (start-client-core peer, explicitly bundled,
symlinked), build and dev source maps of server fn modules. One build per
bundler is shared where the rows allow. Fixtures type-checked (tsc 6.0.2)
against the built declarations: the V2-05 validator returns a
serializable input and the V2-09 handler casts the global middleware
context (as the e2e apps do); no other change.

Subject: [PATCH 0542/1425] test(start-plugin-core): compose the Start
 compiler, splitter and import protection on real served apps
 (V2-01/03/06/10/27)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

New `tests/integration/start-compose-app.ts`: Start's default page entries
(StartClient hydration, the server entry), a production host serving the
client output and handing other requests to the server entry's `fetch`
in-process (Node's own `import()` through ctu's native-import helper), a
page helper recording server fn and script requests, and a tsc helper.

- start-compose-server-fn-route.test.ts (V2-01): route file with a server
  fn read by the loader and the split component; Vite + Rsbuild served
  builds and a Vite dev page. The SSR init-count row is .fails (the
  pinned provider double initialisation, known-bugs-start-compiler).
- start-compose-client-only.test.ts (V2-06): <ClientOnly> children
  importing chart.client.tsx in a default-config build; passes.
- start-compose-server-only-routes.test.ts (V2-03): server-only
  ancestor, server-only subtree, spread route; real client router
  navigation, server handlers, generated types (tsc). Rsbuild pruning and
  Vite spread rows cite the known-bugs-route-options pins.
- start-compose-project-path.test.ts (V2-27): project path with
  `(2)+`, and a `src/routeTree-gen.ts` sibling; pins (new main bug: the
  unescaped `new RegExp(<route tree path>)` filter).
- start-compose-imported-options.test.ts (V2-10, build half): pin (new
  main bug: imported route options ship `server.handlers` silently).

`build-harness.ts`: `StartBuildOptions.prefix` (passed to createApp), for
the project-path app.

tsc (TS 7, real declarations of @tanstack/react-start and
@tanstack/react-router with a generated routeTree.gen.ts): every fixture
shape type-checks — `createFileRoute('/x')(options)` with options
imported from x.options.tsx (component, loader, server.handlers), the
spread route, server-only routes, the <ClientOnly> route, the posts route
with createServerFn and Route.useLoaderData(). Exit 0.

Subject: [PATCH 0543/1425] test(router-plugin): imported route options and
 dev/build split parity (V2-10, V2-16)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- tests/code-splitter-imported-options.test.ts (fast tier): a local
  options object (control: split, deleteNodes applied, nothing reported)
  and an options object imported from another module: the route keeps
  working through the real router; two .fails pins (new main bug: the
  splitter resolves only local object literals, so the route is neither
  split nor reported, and Start's client deleteNodes leave `server` in
  place). Stubs are created per load: the real router updates the options
  object a route is created with.
- tests/integration/split-mode-parity.test.ts: one app (default
  groupings, a `codeSplitGroupings` route, a `splitBehavior` route, a
  route with the options Start deletes) observed through the real
  router's public lazy contract in a real page, in Vite dev, Vite build,
  Rsbuild dev and Rsbuild build: each build matches the configuration and
  each dev server matches its build. Dev servers start one at a time and
  before the builds (a build sets NODE_ENV=production while it runs, and
  a dev server configured meanwhile reads it).

tsc (TS 7, @tanstack/react-router declarations with a generated
routeTree.gen.ts): the fixtures type-check — `ssr: false`, `headers`,
the `codeSplitGroupings` route option, and `createFileRoute('/x')(options)`
with imported and local options. `server` is a Start-only option, so the
plain-router parity app uses `ssr` and `headers`. Exit 0.

Subject: [PATCH 0544/1425] build: bump @rsbuild/plugin-solid to ^1.2.2
 (solid-refresh 0.7 broke Solid hydration in Rsbuild dev)

@rsbuild/plugin-solid 1.1.1 injects solid-refresh 0.7 (granular `jsx`
HMR on by default) into the client only, so hydration keys diverge from
the server's and Solid apps throw "Hydration Mismatch" in `rsbuild dev`
and `rsbuild build --mode development`. 1.2.2 (rsbuild #7832) reverts to
solid-refresh ^0.6.3. Approved by the user (DECISIONS 2026-10-19).

Lockfile regenerated with `pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile`;
solid-refresh 0.7.8 is gone, one solid-js, vite variants unchanged.
plugin-solid 1.2.2 brings its own @rsbuild/plugin-babel@1.2.1.

Subject: [PATCH 0545/1425] test(start-plugin-core): build the Solid Rsbuild
 page app in development mode

With @rsbuild/plugin-solid ^1.2.2 (solid-refresh 0.6), a development-mode
Rsbuild build of a Solid app hydrates, so the production-only exception
goes: every page app is a development build. Same results as the
production baseline: 17 passed + 2 expected fail; both pins re-checked
red without `.fails` in development mode (namespace Start.Hydrate:
loadedByClick false; page-module context: "no-provider").

Subject: [PATCH 0546/1425] test(start-plugin-core): V2-20 Solid row on Start's
 Rsbuild dev server

`startRsbuildStartDevServer` takes `framework` (Start's plugin gets it;
`solid` links the built @tanstack/solid-start and @tanstack/solid-router,
like the Vite dev harness). The Solid edit row runs on it with the
user-level Solid Rsbuild config (`solidAppConfig`: plugin-babel +
per-environment plugin-solid) and the same oracle as React/Vite: the
page hydrates, the loaded child shows each edit, the sibling opened
later shows the edited version, one page load, no errors.

Subject: [PATCH 0548/1425] test(start-plugin-core): import protection through
 tsconfig path aliases (V2-04)

vite-tsconfig-paths before and after Start, Vite's resolve.tsconfigPaths and
Rsbuild's tsconfig paths: build failure report, dev safe mock, dev error
mode. Pins: with vite-tsconfig-paths the report names the nested
re-resolution's specifier (src/secret.server) instead of ~/secret.server.
vite-tsconfig-paths was already a devDependency of start-plugin-core
(one vite copy in its closure).

+ * G11): a client module imports the denied file `src/secret.server.ts` as
+ * `~/secret.server`, an alias of the app's `tsconfig.json` `paths`, and uses
+ * it live. Rules match the file the alias resolves to, whichever resolver
+ * resolves it: `vite-tsconfig-paths` before Start's plugin (the usual order
+ * of a `vite.config.ts`) or after it, Vite's own `resolve.tsconfigPaths`, and
+ * Rsbuild, which reads `paths` itself. Per resolver:
+ * - a build (default `behavior`: error) fails, and its report names the
+ *   specifier as written (`~/secret.server`) and the importer at an original
+ *   line of the import or the use;
+ * - dev (default `behavior`: mock) gives the importer a safe mock: no secret,
+ *   no initializer of the denied file runs;
+ * - dev with `behavior: { dev: 'error' }` reports the same violation.

Subject: [PATCH 0551/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild dev exemptions,
 onViolation false (sync and async), custom entries (V2-18)

Pins: Rsbuild dev gives exempt and allowed importers the mock (self-denial in
the loader); Vite dev Promise<false> twin of the sync pin.

Subject: [PATCH 0552/1425] test(start-plugin-core): import-protection boundary
 transitions in dev (V2-14)

Allowed -> denied -> allowed edits with targets deleted and recreated, both
directions, Vite and Rsbuild dev, plus a real page on Vite. Pins: Vite
log 'always' logs a removed server violation again on the fixing edit; the
page misses the violation an edit adds (incoming edges dropped).

Subject: [PATCH 0553/1425] test(start-plugin-core): V2-14 Rsbuild: recreate
 the targets with the step's edit

Recreated alone after the compile that failed to resolve them, no compile
included them under load (full tier, 60 s timeout): Rspack's watcher of
missing files, outside import protection.

Subject: [PATCH 0554/1425] test(router-plugin): generator temp files of
 harness builds go with the app

Each rp test:integration run left two route trees in
packages/router-plugin/.tanstack/tmp: the generator writes its temporary
files under the working directory unless told otherwise, and a write
that is never renamed stays there. Traced to
integration/code-splitter-pragmas.test.ts ("a framework JSX plugin
registered before the router plugin", React and Solid rows), through
the build harness. Harness builds now give the generator a tmpDir in the
app's own root, which the harness removes with the app.

Subject: [PATCH 0555/1425] test(router-plugin): production bundle checks in
 two files; one pin per NODE_ENV bug

build-production.test.ts took 15.4 s at 1 worker (per-file limit 15 s),
two thirds of it webpack. Its checks move to tests/production-bundle.ts;
build-production.test.ts keeps Vite, Rspack and Rsbuild, and
build-production-webpack.test.ts has webpack. Same tests, same names.

known-bugs-route-hmr-production.test.ts "a production client bundle has
no route HMR code when NODE_ENV is unset (rspack/webpack)" built the same
app as build-production's "rspack/webpack a production react client
bundle without code splitting has no dev-only code" pins (React,
autoCodeSplitting off, addHmr default, NODE_ENV unset), whose hot-API
check includes theirs: deleted, cited from the control they pinned.

Subject: [PATCH 0556/1425] test(router-plugin): route HMR page pins in two
 files

integration/known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts took 13.1 s at 1 worker (over
the 12 s watch line). The pins of component shapes React Refresh does not
register (inline wrapped components, lowercase split components, their
memo/forwardRef controls) move to known-bugs-route-hmr-components.test.ts;
`inPlace` and `editRoute` to tests/route-hmr-edit.ts. Same tests, same
names; references to the moved pins updated.

Subject: [PATCH 0557/1425] test(router-plugin): one Rsbuild generator pin per
 file

Each pin waits its full settle timeout (6 s) for the outcome of a correct
generator, so the file of both took 13 s at 1 worker. The physical()
mount pin moves to known-bugs-rsbuild-generator-physical.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 0558/1425] test(router-plugin): drop matrix cells the
 transform decides (speedup 7)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- page-code "a component the route file writes a property of loads with
  its chunk and renders the property": one cell (Vite, no sideEffects
  hint) of eight. The route module reading the undeclared `Page` is the
  transform's output for every bundler and hint (in process: "top-level
  writes to the split component (property assignment) stay with the
  binding they write"); where a fixed route's component lands is the
  bundler's, decided by the controls in every bundler and hint.
- build-harness.test "router plugin with vite/rspack loads a split
  component lazily and renders it (ssr/client)": the same harness call
  and outcome as build-frameworks' "vite/rspack react ssr/client build the
  split component loads lazily and renders". The minified webpack rows
  stay (build-frameworks builds webpack unminified).
- plugin-options "autoCodeSplitting: undefined splits nothing … (rspack,
  webpack)": the default is resolved by the shared config schema after
  the entries, which pass an absent option on as they pass `false`
  (decided by the Vite `undefined` cell and the `false` cells per entry).

Subject: [PATCH 0559/1425] test(router-plugin): one robustness app per bundler
 (speedup 6)

The non-ASCII route file and the .jsx route file rows built the same
kind of app per bundler: one app per bundler now holds both route files
(distinct markers), built and run once per route; each test reads its own
route's placement and rendering.

Subject: [PATCH 0560/1425] test(router-plugin, router-generator): lint the
 tests

test:eslint now lints ./src ./tests (precedent: compiler-test-utils,
react-start-rsc, router-devtools-core). Per-package ignores for fixtures
outside the TypeScript project, as tsconfig.json excludes them: rp
tests/**/test-files/**; rg the generator's fixture apps
(tests/generator/**, their *.test-d.ts type tests still linted).

Lint fixes only, no assertion changes: unnecessary `!` on Vite's client
environment (dev-server.ts, route-hmr-page.ts) and `as string`
(route-id.ts), import order, a for-of over a growing list, an unused
helper (rp plugin-options.test.ts `read`, shadowed), `async` without
`await` (callbacks that must return a promise now return one; React's
async act() calls keep `async` with a disable comment), a type parameter
name, and type-only router constants in nested/tests.test-d.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 0561/1425] test(start-plugin-core): lint the tests

`test:eslint` now lints `./src ./tests`, as react-start-rsc and
compiler-test-utils do (the test files and harnesses were never linted).
Lint fixes only:

- build-harness.ts: `watching.close()` (unnecessary `?.`).
- known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts: the CommonJS rows' local `module`
  variable renamed `cjs` (import/no-commonjs read it as CommonJS).
- import order / sorted members: createIsomorphicFn, entry-planning,
  rsbuild/post-build.

The import-protection test files (tests/**/importProtection/**,
tests/integration/rsbuild/import-protection.test.ts) are being reworked on
the W3-harness2 branch: eslint.config.js ignores them TEMPORARILY; the
coordinator removes that block once W3-harness2 merges (they report 9
errors today, listed in the W3-speed-spc report).

Subject: [PATCH 0562/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Hydrate rejection checks
 without the code-frame parser

`compileErrorMessage` parsed Babel's printed code frame (`  12 | code`,
`   | ^^^ message`) to drop the quoted source. Its users now go through the
shared diagnostic helpers, which ignore the frame in any layout:

- known-bugs-hydrate: the `arguments` / `await` rejection branches of two
  pins use `expectCompileError` (names in the error's own words, position
  free as before); `await` accepts `await` or `async`, as the regex did.
  The harness control checks that each rejection fails on an unrelated
  error whose frame quotes `arguments`, `Route` and `await`.
- hydrate-boundary-forms: `expectExtractionRejected` matches the pattern
  and the documented fix in `withoutQuotedSource(...)`; the `this`/`super`
  control uses `expectCompileError` (names the read, at the boundary line).
  Also drops the unused `expectDiagnostic` import.
- hydrate-split-modules: the empty-boundary row reads errors through
  `withoutQuotedSource` (also an import-order lint fix).
- regression-helpers.ts: `handler.serverFnMeta?.id` (lint).

`compileErrorMessage` and its self-test are deleted. Re-checked red without
`.fails`: arguments pin (renders `<p></p>`), await pin (chunk SyntaxError),
this/super pins (no documented fix in the message).

Subject: [PATCH 0563/1425] test(start-plugin-core): speed pass on hydrate-dev
 and known-bugs-start-compiler

Measured first (spc test:integration, idle box): hydrate-dev 11.4 s and
known-bugs-start-compiler 11.4 s at 1 worker, the two slowest files
(13.4-17 s at 4 workers under load, against the 15 s per-file limit).

- hydrate-dev.test.ts split per bundler: the Vite rows stay (React edit,
  split route composition, Solid edit), the Rsbuild rows move to
  hydrate-dev-rsbuild.test.ts, the shared apps and edit scenario to
  hydrate-dev-edits.ts. Every row edits its app, so no server is shared.
  No assertion changed.
- known-bugs-start-compiler: the Vite dev server block moves to
  known-bugs-start-compiler-dev.test.ts (unchanged, plus two lint fixes:
  the settled flag is read through a function, `isRunnableDevEnvironment`
  alone guards the SSR environment).
- The control "SSR: a server fn the client references is callable over
  HTTP ..." and the D6 pin "... only server code references is not
  callable over HTTP" read one build and run per bundler
  (`callClientAccess`, memoised): one build less per bundler.
- The build pin "client: the server-only module of a class only server
  code uses is not bundled" runs on Vite only. The compiler decides it
  (the import it leaves in the client module loads the server-only module
  in any bundler); the in-process pin "client: a class used by a server fn
  handler does not load its server-only import"
  (../known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts) decides it, and the Vite cell
  stays its build canary. Removed: the Rsbuild cell (1 xfail).

Subject: [PATCH 0564/1425] test(react-start-rsc): V2-13 component edit on
 Rsbuild with React Refresh

Adds the approved `@rsbuild/plugin-react` devDependency (DECISIONS
2026-10-19; lockfile regenerated with `pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile`:
one importer entry, same @rsbuild/core 2.2.5 variant as the other
packages, no new vite copy).

rsc-start-hmr.test.ts gets the Rsbuild half next to the Vite one: on
Start's Rsbuild RSC dev server with `pluginReact()`, a real page counts to
2, the route module (which also declares the server fn its loader and page
call) gets a component edit; the page shows the edit with the count kept,
the server fn still answers, no full reload (`loads() === 1`), no error.
The handler half on Rsbuild stays in rsc-start-rsbuild.test.ts. Note: the
row also passes without `pluginReact()` (TanStack's route HMR keeps the
state); the plugin stays because a React app on Rsbuild has it.

Subject: [PATCH 0565/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): keep every compile's
 diagnostics in the Rsbuild dev harness

`RsbuildDevServer.diagnostics` holds the errors and warnings of every
compile of every environment since the server started, as A9
diagnostics, read at each environment compiler's `done` (where the
compilation is still accessible; `onDevCompileDone` cannot read a
compilation Rspack has dropped). A dev server compiles again on its own
(a file a plugin wrote, a file found outdated when the watcher attaches
after a compile), and Start's import protection reports a violation
once by default, so the last compile's `warnings`/`errors` could lose a
report. Tests mark a point with `server.diagnostics.length` and read
`slice(since)`, as with the Vite harness's `logs`. `errors`/`warnings`
stay the last compile's.

Control test: a plugin reporting in the first compile only.

Subject: [PATCH 0566/1425] test(start-plugin-core): read Rsbuild dev
 diagnostics of every compile

The Rsbuild dev reads of import-protection reports and compiler
warnings go through the harness's `diagnostics` (every compile since
start) with `findDiagnostics` by severity, instead of the last
compile's `warnings`/`errors`: rsbuild/import-protection.test.ts (the
Start server read right after start, the behavior rows, the reports
across rebuilds, which now compare the set of reports since a mark),
reported-location.test.ts, known-bugs.test.ts, and the
start-build-warnings.test.ts Rsbuild dev pin (re-verified red for its
stated bug: no warning in any compile). The violation-report adapter
accepts anything `diagnosticsOf` reads (`ReportOutput`).

The W3-ip-v2 Rsbuild rows are back on the default `log` (`'once'`);
`rsbuildDevLog` (`'always'` as a harness workaround) is gone. v2-edits
keeps `log: 'always'` explicitly (its rows test stale reports), reads
the reports since its mark, loses the `DEBUGLOGS` print, and names the
upstream cause of its Rsbuild delete flake (FOLLOWUPS: Rspack loses a
file removal that lands while a compile runs; watchpack 2.6.0 fixes it,
Rspack vendors 2.5.2).

router-plugin's route-hmr-page.ts no longer accumulates the Rsbuild
warnings itself.

Subject: [PATCH 0567/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): drop the unused jsdom
 dependency

Nothing in src or tests imports it. Lockfile regenerated with
`pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile`.

Subject: [PATCH 0568/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): settleRounds option;
 faster reload-loop control test

The Vite harness's settle-round limit (10) is the `settleRounds`
option. The control test of a plugin that rewrites a file on every
event uses 3 rounds: the loop shows after the first, and 10 rounds cost
~1.4 s of the fast tier's 2.8 s file.

Subject: [PATCH 0569/1425] test(router-plugin): unminified webpack robustness
 app (speedup 5)

The shared non-ASCII / .jsx app reads generation, placement of live code
and rendering, none of which webpack's minifier decides (as in
build-frameworks and plugin-options): its webpack build skips terser
(2.25 s -> 0.64 s). The cached-rebuild rows stay minified.

 the last compile's warnings

The files of one edit are written one by one and Rsbuild
(`aggregateTimeout: 0`) may compile in between; that compile reports
the transient state (targets back, live uses not removed yet) under
`log: 'always'`, which `diagnostics.slice(since)` then showed as a
stale report of step 2 (1 of 6 full-tier runs, 1 of 10 solo runs). The
last compile reports every violation of the step's state.

Subject: [PATCH 0571/1425] test(router-plugin): generator temp files of
 harness builds in a run-scoped directory

The previous commit put the generator's tmpDir in the app's root, which
races with the app's removal: Vite runs the plugins' configResolved hooks
concurrently (Promise.all in vite 8.3.4), so a build that fails while the
generator's hook still runs (code-splitter-pragmas' plugin-order rows)
returns before the generator's last write, and that write into the app
during dispose() failed the removal (ENOTEMPTY, once in a 1-worker run).
Those late writes were the two never-renamed files the default tmpDir
(.tanstack/tmp in the package) kept after every run.

A Vitest global setup now creates one directory per run under the
package's ignored .tanstack (same filesystem as the apps: the generator
renames its temporary files into them; os.tmpdir() is another filesystem
here and breaks every generator write) and removes it when the run ends.
The harness builds get it through inject().

Subject: [PATCH 0572/1425] test(start-plugin-core): one file per Rsbuild edit;
 V2-14 Rsbuild page row; deterministic Vite pin read

User ruling 2026-10-19 (DECISIONS): the Rsbuild sequences delete and
recreate one file per `edit()`, settled before the next write, with a
comment citing FOLLOWUPS "UPSTREAM (W3-harness2)" (Rspack's vendored
watchpack 2.5.2 loses a removal landing while a compile runs; merge the
steps back once Rspack bundles watchpack >= 2.6): v2-edits.test.ts
(both targets, deleted then recreated separately again, as the rows
describe) and rsbuild/dev-server.test.ts "deleting a module with a
server fn" (the deletion before the entry's edit, each on its own).

V2-14's page half on Rsbuild: v2-edits-page-rsbuild.test.ts, the same
page app and steps as the Vite twin (shared from v2-hosts.ts) on
Start's whole Rsbuild plugin with @rsbuild/plugin-react, as the
hydrate-dev Rsbuild rows; checks the hot update (no page load), no
secret in the client's chunks or hot updates, the live use's safe
mock, and the last compile's reports. Rsbuild reports the violation
the edit adds to the page's component, which the Vite twin pins.

v2-edits Vite rows: the recreated state is loaded in both environments
before the step's edit, so the handling of the recreations ends by
the loads' completion and the logs since the mark are the step's edit
alone. The stale report the step-2 pin targets is logged inside the
edit's settle, from processPendingViolations through resolveId while
the Start compiler resolves the denied import in the SSR transform of
the edited file (traced with a temporary probe, reverted).

Subject: [PATCH 0573/1425] test(start-plugin-core): settle before each step's
 first removal on Rsbuild

A compile the start or the previous step still has pending (a redundant
compile after an edit, the Start plugin's invalidations) pauses the
watcher while the first removal of the step lands, and the removal is
lost (3 of 20 solo runs of v2-edits). `settle()` first: the harness's
event-based wait for no running or pending compile.

Subject: [PATCH 0574/1425] test(start-plugin-core): lint fixes in the
 import-protection test files

The 9 errors W3-speed-spc's temporary eslint ignore hides: unused
imports, import order and sorted members (eslint --fix), an unnecessary
`?.`, and the CommonJS `module` object of a VM context renamed to `cjs`
(import/no-commonjs). Lint fixes only.

Subject: [PATCH 0575/1425] test(start-plugin-core): settle across a turn of
 the event loop between Rsbuild edits

Traced (harness instrumentation, reverted): Rspack's MultiCompiler starts
the compile of a dependent environment (Start's `ssr` after `client`)
through its queue on the tick after its parent's compile ended
(`Watching.invalidate()` from `processQueueWorker`), which the harness's
`settle()` cannot see yet; the next write landed while that compile
paused the watcher, and a removal is then lost (2 of 20 solo runs after
the previous step). `settledAcrossTurn` (v2-hosts.ts): `settle()`, a
`setImmediate` turn, `settle()` again. Used by the v2-edits Rsbuild
sequence and the Rsbuild page row.

Subject: [PATCH 0576/1425] test(react-start-rsc): V2-13 Rsbuild row edits the
 handler, then the component, in one session

The Rsbuild row of rsc-start-hmr.test.ts now runs the Vite twin's sequence:
a handler edit reaches the next call with no reload and the client output
never has the handler, then a component edit hot-updates the page keeping
its state. The call button shows the page text with the answer, so the
call after the component edit is told apart from the kept state (both rows
now check that the server fn still answers after the component edit).

Subject: [PATCH 0577/1425] test(router-generator): pin the temporary file left
 when a save makes a fix unnecessary

When the user saves a route file with the right id while the generator
is fixing it, safeFileWrite throws `rerun` after writing its temporary
file, the rerun has nothing to write, and the file stays in tmpDir
(default .tanstack/tmp). The save is scheduled through the generator's
`fs` option, like the other race tests in the file; the assertion is that
only the app's files remain under the app. Red without `.fails`
(tmp/<session>-<hash> left); a probe removing the temporary file before
`throw rerun` makes it pass (reverted).

Subject: [PATCH 0578/1425] test(compiler): local test budgets with an opt-in
 strict check, and a fast-slice guide

test-budgets.json now holds local-iteration budgets (DECISIONS 2026-10-19):
per package a [target, hard] for the fast and slow tier at --maxWorkers=4,
15 s for any slow-tier file, 10 s edit to result for a fast-tier slice.
Numbers come from three quiet-machine runs per tier (load < 4) with
headroom. CI / one-worker runs are reported only.

The reporter stays report-only in normal runs. COMPILER_TEST_BUDGETS=strict
fails a run over a hard limit or the per-file limit, or not at 4 workers,
and says it is meant for a quiet machine. Partial runs (file or -t
filters) get no tier verdict; a partial fast-tier run reports the Vitest
part of edit to result.

compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md documents running one file or -t filter
through Nx, the `|` caveat, the slow-tier load gate and strict mode; the
other compiler packages' AGENTS.md point to it (react-start-rsc gets one).

+# Compiler test infrastructure
+
+Shared by the compiler test suites (router-plugin, start-plugin-core, router-generator, react-start-rsc and this package). Each has a fast tier (`test:unit`) and a slow tier (`test:integration`, `tests/integration/`).
+
+## Running a slice
+
+- One file or one test name, through Nx (dependencies come from Nx's cache; the target reruns when a file changed). Paths are relative to the package:
+
+  ```sh
+  CI=1 NX_DAEMON=false pnpm nx run @tanstack/router-plugin:test:unit --outputStyle=stream --skipRemoteCache -- --maxWorkers=4 tests/code-splitter-scope.test.ts -t "unlike computed keys"
+  ```
+
+  Edit to result for one fast-tier file is about 5 s in router-plugin and start-plugin-core (about 8 s for the first one in a session). A file path is a substring filter: `tests/compiler.test.ts` also runs `tests/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`.
+
+- Never put `|` inside a `-t` filter: Nx passes the arguments through a shell, so it becomes a pipe and orphans Vitest workers. Run one command per filter.
+- Leave out `--skip-nx-cache` while iterating: it rebuilds every dependency. Use it for final validation, on whole tiers.
+- Do not run Vitest directly: it can test a stale `dist` of a dependency.
+- Slow tier: at most two runs on the machine at once. Gate on the Vitest processes (the `[v]` keeps the loop from matching itself):
+
+  ```sh
+  until [ "$(pgrep -fc '[v]itest --project integration')" -lt 2 ]; do sleep 30; done; <nx command>
+  ```
+
+## Budgets
+
+`test-budgets.json`: per package, a target and a hard limit for each tier at `--maxWorkers=4`; 15 s for any slow-tier file; 10 s from edit to result for one fast-tier file, Nx included. `src/budget-reporter.ts` prints the comparison after every run and never fails it (times move with the machine's load). Other worker counts (CI, one worker) are reported only.
+
+To enforce the budgets, run a whole tier in strict mode on a quiet machine (1-minute load below 4, no other test runs). It fails over a hard limit or the per-file limit:
+
+```sh
+until awk '{exit !($1<4)}' /proc/loadavg && [ "$(pgrep -fc '[v]itest --project integration')" -eq 0 ]; do sleep 20; done
+COMPILER_TEST_BUDGETS=strict CI=1 NX_DAEMON=false pnpm nx run <project>:test:integration --outputStyle=stream --skipRemoteCache --skip-nx-cache -- --maxWorkers=4
+```
+
+Keep `--skip-nx-cache` there: a replay from Nx's cache is not a measurement.

Subject: [PATCH 0579/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): wait for Rspack's
 watcher to scan the app before edits

Under load (local load 18-35; beetle 17-44), a file deleted right after
the Rsbuild dev server started was never reported and the edit hung:
Rspack attaches its watcher on the tick after the first compile's
`done`, and watchpack then scans the watched directories; a file the
scan's listing had but whose stat then fails (deleted meanwhile) ends
up neither known nor missing, so neither the scan's end nor the watch
event reports it (watchpack 2.5.2 DirectoryWatcher.doScan; traced with
harness instrumentation, reverted: `watch:attach` 0.014 s, `rm` 0.015 s,
no watcher event, 0 compiles in 60 s).

The tracker's `watching(root, timeout)` waits, a turn of the event loop
at a time, until every compiler's watcher is attached and watchpack's
`getTimeInfoEntries()` has an entry (a time, or `null` once the scan
ended) for every app file the last compile read or looked for. The
start, `edit()` and `settle()` wait for it; `timeout` only guards.

Subject: [PATCH 0580/1425] test(router-generator): compare untouched router
 imports byte for byte in expectOnlyOwnedEdits

The helper masked every router package import, so a separate import's
comment could be dropped and an edited import's bindings could change
package unnoticed (V1R gen G04). Only the imports that bind a route
constructor (plus one other router import when the file lacked the
constructor it now uses) may change; their other bindings keep imported
name, local name, type/value meaning and source package. New controls:
an untouched router import's comment, its package, a merge into the
constructor import, a missing constructor import joining an import.

Subject: [PATCH 0581/1425] test(router-generator): check fixture lazy files on
 demand instead of an exact load inventory

The fixture table compared every file newly evaluated by each route's
loadRouteChunk, in route id order: a generated lazy facade or support
module failed the exact inventory, and a shared dependency was attributed
to the first route loaded (V1R gen G03). Now: ids, full paths, parents and
route files stay exact; each listed lazy file is absent before its route
is loaded, present after, and its lazy Route's options are the route's.
Checked red on a wrong attachment (lazy file listed under /posts/).

Subject: [PATCH 0582/1425] test(router-generator): accept correct routing
 without a diagnostic for (group).tsx files
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A standalone (group).tsx is an undocumented extension (SPEC §2.2): the
test required a diagnostic even on success, so a generator routing the
group's children correctly without a warning failed (V1R gen G01). Now a
failed run naming the file, a reported fallback with a loadable tree, or
no diagnostic with correct routing (no full path names the group, the
group index and /about render at their URLs) all pass. No parent
interpretation of (group).tsx is required. The apps are temporary apps
with real route files (the old fixture files were placeholders); a control
runs the routing check on the documented group directory.

Subject: [PATCH 0583/1425] test(router-plugin): real classic JSX factories,
 name-free class absence and Solid deleteNodes bindings

V1R split S06/S26/S31/S32: the classic-pragma pins render through the real
@emotion/react and React (compared with the untouched file) instead of
string factories labelled Emotion/Preact; the application factory row is an
application module. The D5 Fragment check no longer fixes the chunk's import
inventory. The re-export/default-class pin looks for a marker in the class
body across every module the lazy options load. The Solid deleteNodes row
validates bindings and checks no emitted object literal keeps ssr/server/headers.
All changed pins verified red without .fails for their stated reason.

Subject: [PATCH 0584/1425] test(router-generator): target each publication
 failure, and move the staging cleanup pin outside the corpus

G05 (V1R gen): the fault of the publication tests matched every write and
rename, so the first (route file) publication failed and the route tree's
failure path was never exercised; now the fault targets one destination
(its writes by content, its rename by target), the test checks the
faulted publication was attempted, the faulted destination keeps its
complete old content and the other one is old or complete new (readers
see only those). The tmpDir-on-another-device pin now makes its baseline
run on the app's filesystem and switches tmpDir for the observed run
(the EXDEV failure was in the baseline, before the reader boundary).
Re-checked red without .fails: EXDEV on the observed rename.

G06 / moot pin: J1.6/J1.16 promise atomic destinations, not a project
free of other files, and no ruling adopts a cleanup contract. The
acceptance test keeps the saved source and the usable tree; the cleanup
pin moves to outside-compiler-corpus/abandoned-staging.test.ts and checks
for a staged copy of the abandoned fix rather than the whole file list.
Re-checked red without .fails (the tmp copy).

Subject: [PATCH 0585/1425] test(router-generator): compare routes and
 diagnostics, not tree text, across listing orders and cwds
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The determinism observation included the raw route tree text, whose
names, printing and comments are free (SPEC §5.1/§5.5), so a semantically
deterministic tree with a cwd-bearing comment failed (V1R gen G07). Now
the observation is the routes the router builds (lazy files limited to
the app's own) and, across listing orders, the generator's warnings and
errors. Byte identity of the tree stays as an implementation control in
outside-compiler-corpus/tree-bytes.test.ts. The app and listing-order
seam move to determinism-app.ts, shared by both.

Subject: [PATCH 0586/1425] test(router-plugin): semantic reuse/cachebuster
 checks, real Vue route HMR, look-alike provenance

V1R split S02/S13/S23/S24/S27:
- extra cache-busting parameters: load and render the route with the module
  served under the busted id (no emitted-text equality, no required query);
- route reuse across routes and recompiles (PP, CTX): ids, groups, values and
  diagnostics instead of raw emitted text;
- directive prologue: directives compared as a set;
- route HMR without splitting: Vue routes created by the real vue-router;
  Solid is syntax-only here (real page: route-hmr-browser-frameworks);
- unowned modules: an unregistered genuine createFileRoute module and a
  registered route file using a foreign look-alike. A local shadowing
  factory in a route file is split today: new pin in known-bugs (verified
  red: the look-alike's component becomes lazy).

Subject: [PATCH 0587/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): observe lazy loading by
 awaiting the real trigger
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The lazy probe started each trigger synchronously, rejected the imports it
started and loaded their targets itself. A valid wrapper that first awaits
something (`await Promise.resolve(); return import(chunk)`) was classified
eager, and a dynamic facade's continuation (the facade importing the real
chunk) was never observed (V1R split S01 = gen G08, SPEC J2.6/§8).

The probe now awaits the public trigger to completion in a fresh fork of
the graph (its rejection ignored), lets imports it started without awaiting
them settle, and counts the owned modules that evaluated. Groups observe
each pair in its own fork, so what one name loads never makes another look
available. Controls: delayed trigger, dynamic facade, unawaited import,
pair independence; the first is red on the old probe, the pair control is
red on a shared-fork variant.

`probeDynamicImports` had no other consumer and is removed with its tests.
The deprecated `runtime`/`jsxPragma` JSX stand-in of the linker had no
consumer left either and is removed (V1R gen G22).

One consumer read a stub's access log after `isLazy('loader')`, which now
loads the loader's module in a fork with the same stubs; it reads the log
first (`code-splitter-route-options.test.ts`).

Subject: [PATCH 0588/1425] test(router-generator): accept the permitted upkeep
 outcomes and give the upkeep inputs real modules

G09: a template literal id may be replaced or reported (SPEC J1.1); the
upkeep row moves into the repaired-or-reported table and the
file-modification fixture drops its template-literal file (the fixture
cannot accept a failed run).
G10: expectRouteFile no longer requires one local import literally named
createFileRoute; the evaluated Route must be the router package's Route
(LazyRoute for the lazy constructor) and routeCallOf still checks the
callee's provenance, so reusing an alias or namespace binding passes.
G11: the direct-object constructor calls (type-invalid, TS2345 per the
V1R synth tsc probe) are labelled never-fail-silently controls and accept
a repaired curried call keeping the options and registering /new, or a
diagnostic naming the file.
G12: -posts-route / -make-route now exist and supply the Route; the entry
must stay unchanged with /new registered and rendered, or be reported.
G25: the file-modification lazy constructor-switch input is a
component-only createFileRoute route (the full template kept a loader,
TS2353 under createLazyFileRoute); the page must render at /bar.

Subject: [PATCH 0589/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): shared prose, cause and
 reported-location oracles
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

diagnosticProse drops numbered frame lines (whole, cropped, highlighted,
boxed), caret markers and quoted source lines, so source tokens cannot
impersonate a diagnostic's own words (V1R start N13). Names accept
alternatives (N04) and causes require a semantic reason in prose (S07).
locationMismatch/expectRelevantLocation accept a genuine use, any line of
the original import of the specifier, caller-given other places (marker
origin) and, opt-in only, no coordinates (J6.5, §5.14; V1R ip I01);
expectFrameAt checks the highlighted line and caret, not context.

Subject: [PATCH 0590/1425] test(router-plugin): outcome-only state, identity
 and option checks; real imported options source

V1R split S04/S08/S15/S25/S30/S33/S34/S35:
- loadRoute control on real output keeps effects and on-demand evaluation,
  not exact evaluated-module inventories (exact bookkeeping stays on fixed
  graphs);
- shared state in a .jsx route: once-only creation and one instance across
  options; no import-versus-init deadline;
- flat codeSplitGroupings labelled a type-invalid diagnostic control
  (TS2322 under the real types, arbiter probe /tmp/v1rs-type-check.ts):
  named error, reported working route, or safe interpretation;
- exported loader: the function the route runs is the one an importer gets;
- import attributes: nothing loading with the route requests the macro
  module (complete eager requests), attributes on every import of it;
- imported options: real on-disk options/admin-helper source in a real Vite
  dev server; an error naming the route file is accepted; deleteNodes pin
  also requires the helper not to reach the client graph; the local control
  checks the helper does not load eagerly. Pins verified red (no warning).

Subject: [PATCH 0591/1425] test(router-generator): check option outcomes on
 the route file imports, footer lines and every log channel

G14: the footer is compared with the tree's last non-blank lines, not
from a literal 'export const routeTree'.
G15: addExtensions checks every static and dynamic import of the app's
route files (extension, resolution) and no longer counts imports, so
generated support imports are exempt.
G16: importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths checks the static route file imports
without a count, and a new pin requires the lazy route file imports to be
absolute too: today they stay relative (red without .fails:
'./routes/posts.lazy' is not absolute).
G17: with disableLogging, every captured console message (any severity)
must be an actionable one naming the route file without a Route export.

Subject: [PATCH 0592/1425] test(router-generator): require Vue piece files to
 load lazily, not with the route tree

piecesOf loaded every route before rendering its pieces, so a generator
importing the ordinary .component.vue pieces eagerly passed the lazy-piece
rows (V1R gen G18). piecesOf now requires no .vue file to be loaded once
the fresh tree is loaded, before any route is demanded; the pieces still
render with real Vue after loading (a probe confirmed the observation
channel lists the .vue files after loading).

Subject: [PATCH 0593/1425] test(start-plugin-core): compile errors are read in
 prose, with causes and API alternatives

withoutQuotedSource now uses the shared diagnosticProse, which also drops
cropped and highlighted frame lines (V1R start N13). A misplaced server fn
rejection must explain the placement (placementCauses), a capture rejection
the capture (captureCauses), and a missing handler may be reported by the
API or its handler call with a missing-function cause (N04). Synthetic
controls: cropped-frame and positioned internal-crash negatives, clear
messages in varied layouts.

Subject: [PATCH 0594/1425] test(router-plugin): name- and printer-free
 comparison of production bundles with the HMR-off control

V1R split S14 (P1): the paired-build G7 oracle compared sets of identifier-
like tokens, which fails on harmless private renaming and misses dev-only
code built from tokens already present. It now compares, on the real
parser's syntax tree, counts of each node kind and of free-name reads,
property names and strings (chunk file names normalised). An inline oracle
control appends console.error("MARK_PAGE") (token set unchanged) and
requires the comparison to see it. Public hot-API checks unchanged. The
vite/react unsplit pin is verified red for the extra Refresh anchor.

Subject: [PATCH 0595/1425] test(router-plugin): the in-process host follows
 every module the plugins emit, and reports what they log

The host followed only imports resolving to the route file with a query,
so a compiler emitting virtual or other-id modules failed every fast test
(V1R split S03). It now resolves every import through the host and tells
the route's modules by hook evidence: a module a host plugin loads, or one
the router plugin's transform changes. Untouched app files and packages
are not followed. The build host records importer-keyed resolutions (the
map was keyed by specifier only) and externalises packages and what
nothing resolves instead of everything off the route path.

Vite ran silent, so a plugin's this.warn never reached the diagnostic
capture (V1R split S21): the host logger now forwards warnings and errors
to the console.

Controls: a plugin serving a chunk and a support module under its own id
scheme (followed and evaluated; red with the old same-path filter in dev
and build), an untouched user file (not owned; red when every resolved file
counts), and a plugin's this.warn through the host (red with the silent
host).

Subject: [PATCH 0596/1425] test(compiler): compare what compiled code does
 across roots and orders, not bytes
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

SPEC G4 frees emitted code across project roots and printing everywhere
(§5.5); the determinism tests compared normalized emitted modules (split
F10/S05), built files byte for byte, and the generator's raw tree text
(gen G07).

- ctu `expectDeterministic` takes a `project`ion and documents the
  semantic projection every determinism/relocation check uses: executed
  values, lazy groups, user modules loading on demand, relevant
  diagnostics, contract ids; never bytes, generated names or complete
  lazy inventories. Control: two outputs differing only in private names
  and printing pass, another value or a broken shared identity fails (real
  ESM through the module linker).
- router-plugin fast tier: each module id (other roots, Windows ids) must
  give the reference lazy groups, loader data and rendered components, via
  `expectRelocatable`.
- router-plugin slow tier: the app built in two directories (files written
  in another order at the second) must run in a browser with the same
  data, page and eager/lazy placement; each build checked on its own.
- router-generator: listing order and working directory must not change
  the routes the real router builds (path, parent, file, the app's lazy
  route files) nor the generation's warnings and errors.

The byte-equality checks stay as labelled implementation controls under
`outside-compiler-corpus/` (rp fast and slow tier, rg).

Subject: [PATCH 0597/1425] test(router-generator): read route types through
 the router's public type API, not generated type names
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

routeTypeChecks indexed the tree's generated FileRoutesById interface and
one row indexed FileRoutesByFullPath: those names are not promised (SPEC
§5.1; the docs promise FileRoutesByTo through a consuming example), so an
equivalent linkage through typeof routeTree failed (V1R gen G21). Now
RouteIds / RouteById<typeof routeTree, id> (fullPath, parentRoute.id)
and RouteByPath<typeof routeTree, '/'> from @tanstack/router-core. The
documented FileRoutesByTo rows stay. Re-checked the three type pins red
without .fails: same fullPath '' vs '/' mismatches.

Subject: [PATCH 0598/1425] test(router-generator): give the route-groups
 fixture's (bar)/_layout children their own layout

The (bar)/_layout.about and lazy _layout.xyz files had no (bar)/_layout
route while the other groups have identically named layouts; their root
parent in the table characterized today's choice between candidates the
docs do not rank (V1R gen G23). The fixture now has
(foo)/asdf/(bar)/_layout.tsx: the table nests about and xyz under it, and
their pages render inside it (/asdf/about, /asdf/xyz).

Subject: [PATCH 0599/1425] test(router-plugin): route tree loaded by the real
 router, dev map columns, React Compiler placement outside the corpus

V1R split S19/S20/S29 (+ the slice-local S03 walk):
- autoCodeSplitting false/undefined: the generated tree exists and the real
  router over it renders the index route at /, instead of a literal
  "from './routes/index'" import spelling;
- the React Compiler transform-placement check moves to
  outside-compiler-corpus/ (DECISIONS OQ16: third-party transforms on split
  chunks are out of scope); ordinary split/render rows stay in the corpus;
- dev source maps assert the original column too; the Vite served-module
  walk follows every app module and Vite-served virtual module, not only
  /routes/. The Rsbuild pin is still red on the line (3 vs 6).

Subject: [PATCH 0600/1425] test(start-plugin-core): import-protection
 locations through the shared location oracle
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Reports may name the importer at a genuine use or at any line of its
original import of the denied module (SPEC J6.5; V1R ip I01):
expectViolationsAt/relevantViolations match distinct reports to expected
violations with the shared isRelevantLocation, expectReportFrame checks the
highlighted original line and caret without requiring context, and
expectMarkerViolation also accepts the importer's import of the marked
module. Migrated: build.test default-rule rows, the chain build report,
reported-location's predicate, dev.test denied-file/marker/route-frame rows,
dev-page rows and the transformImport rows (no coordinates allowed there
only, §5.14). Controls on real formatViolation reports.

Subject: [PATCH 0601/1425] test(router-plugin): plugin-order outcomes by name
 aliases; Solid refresh pragma compared with the unsplit app

V1R split S07/S22:
- JSX plugin before the router plugin: a working build may also keep the
  component in the route with an actionable warning (naming the route file
  or both plugins); an error must name both plugins by package, factory or
  Vite plugin name, not literal package prose. Supported order unchanged.
- // @refresh reload rows: after the same click and edit, the split app must
  show exactly what the unsplit app shows (count reset), not any count.
  Probe (both Vite rows, 4 pages each): the count is 0 with and without the
  pragma; the pragma's only other effect is a reload, which G10 forbids
  requiring.

openPage takes the document of its URL (a page of a dev server that serves
no HTML, whose other requests still reach the server) and a script that runs
before the page's own code (to record what it logs and throws from its first
statement on). Control: a page shows the given document at its URL, and the
init script ran first, on every load.

Subject: [PATCH 0603/1425] test(start-plugin-core): run the Rsbuild dev
 server's client code in a real browser

runInClient and runRsbuildClient ran the dev server's client output in a Node
VM with copied web APIs (V1R start N03; hmr/start theme "client code run in
Node"): a client path that misbehaves only in a browser passed. They now open
a page of the dev server in Chromium (a server started with `clientPage`),
whose document loads the client entry's initial files from the dev server
(found in Rspack's stats; Start's dev server renders its HTML with the app's
server entry, which the harness apps do not have), record what the page's
code logs and throws from its first statement on, and run the script in the
page. webGlobals/webApis are gone; the same-named ids row runs on the page
too.

Control (integration/build-harness.test.ts): the entry reads document,
customElements and location (the VM run threw on document), the script runs
on the page after load, logs come with their levels, and a throw while the
page loads rejects both runs. Re-checked red without .fails, failing for
their stated reason: known-bugs custom-type and .mdx pins (not reported; a
denied specifier's real code runs), v2-policy permitted rows (a safe mock).

Subject: [PATCH 0604/1425] test(router-plugin): the out-of-order dev edit pins
 render in a real browser page, and walks follow every app module

The out-of-order edit pins followed only imports whose query-stripped path
was the route file and evaluated the client output in Node with the SSR
router and this process's React (V1R hmr HMR-27, split S03). They now move
to the slow tier: a real Vite dev server with a browser page; the walk
follows every served module of the app or of a plugin (isServedAppModule:
not a dependency, not Vite's client), the page loads the route before the
edit and leaves, the test re-requests the modules in the forced order, and
a new page imports the route as the server serves it now and renders its
components with React, reporting render and link errors. The pins stay red
for their own reasons without .fails: 'Export CardB is not defined' and
B1/B1 (two module states). The dev source-map walk drops its /routes/
filter the same way. Control: isServedAppModule follows a plugin-served
module and another app module (red with the /routes/ rule).

Subject: [PATCH 0605/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): watcher readiness across
 all compilers; control tests

The readiness wait checked each compiler's own watcher, which can never
hold for Rspack's RSC client compiler: the RSC coordinator sets
`watchOptions.ignored = () => true` on it and has the server compiler
watch its files (merge validator: all 4 Rsbuild RSC dev starts in
react-start-rsc timed out). Now every app file any compile read or
looked for must be known to the union of the attached compilers'
watchers.

Control tests (ctu integration): after the start, the watcher knows
every app file the compile read; and a two-environment server whose
`node` compiler ignores every file (0 entries) still starts, with its
files known to the `web` compiler's watcher.

Subject: [PATCH 0606/1425] test(router-plugin): outcome-only harness,
 identity, HMR and source-map rows

V1R split S09/S10/S11/S12:
- the page-warning harness control logs a deliberate warning from the app
  instead of requiring the compiler to warn about an exported page;
- exported errorComponent (as any): an entry importing it, the route's
  error path rendered through the real router, the function rendered is the
  imported one and its module state is created once (pin verified red:
  labels 3, not one instance); placement stays a separate obligation;
- same-file route factories: the edit must show v2; a warning no longer
  turns a stale page into a pass (all 10 cells pass today);
- the client-output source-names inventory is deleted (virtual source names
  are free); executed throw maps now also cover route-module and shared
  code on Rspack and webpack (new .fails rows, same unplugin map drop:
  verified red on the line).

Subject: [PATCH 0607/1425] test(router-plugin): a diagnostic never stands in
 for a working fallback edit

expectEditShownOrReportedFallback (route-hmr-page.ts): an edit of a route
the compiler may leave to a reported fallback (R-09, D11) must show its new
loader data and component without errors; without a warning naming the
file it must also apply in place, with one a reload is allowed. Replaces the
catch-and-return of the factory-route rows and their helper-function pin
(V1R hmr H08, split S11). The warning-capture control now uses a synthetic
plugin warning through each bundler's own channel (Vite this.warn, an Rspack
compilation warning), positive and negative, instead of requiring the
compiler to warn about a split it may perform (H09, S09); openRouteHmrPage
takes extra test plugins. Controls of the helper's decision.

Subject: [PATCH 0608/1425] test(router-plugin): read generator reports on
 every channel, and scope recovery to the fix

G13 (V1R gen): the broken-route-file scenarios read the report from the
plugins' console only, and recovery required no dev server error at all,
though the permitted report of the broken file may stay among them. Now
the report is any diagnostic (console or dev server error) naming the
file through the shared diagnostics oracle, marked from the breaking edit,
and only errors after the fixing edit must be absent; the recovered route
and navigation stay required. This also applies to the created-broken-file
Rsbuild pin (re-checked red without .fails: Rsbuild does not settle on the
fix, after the report check).

Subject: [PATCH 0609/1425] test(compiler): real-watcher rows for virtual
 config edits and dev server shutdown, and look-alike route constructors

G27 (V1R gen), with the scenarios added to generator-dev-scenarios.ts in
the previous commit:
- Vite and Rsbuild dev servers on a real page: an edit of the
  virtualRouteConfig file (path form) and of a __virtual.ts file must
  change the live routes. Both are new pins on both bundlers: the tree is
  not regenerated (Vite: checked with the tree file, no 'contact' route
  4 s after the edit; the generator-level pin already in router-generator
  generator-dev.test.ts names the path comparison and jiti cache; the
  __virtual.ts source is suspected, a product probe was not permitted).
- Closing the Vite / Rsbuild dev server closes every file watcher it
  held, the generator's included (positive control: a created route file
  is scaffolded while it runs, and watchers exist). The harness removes
  the app on close, so an edit after close is not observable here.
- router-generator: a createFileRoute declared in the file or imported
  from an app module (a wrapper of the router's) must keep its meaning:
  new pin (the generator recognises the constructor by name: it adds a
  second binding or rebinds the import to the router package; red without
  .fails); an inner-scope shadowing createFileRoute is left alone while
  the Route is kept up (passes).

 (private-method dependency, wrapped const component)

- a binding whose only reader is a private method (#read) shared by the
  eager loader and the split component: valid modules, one instance, one
  init. red-astra-r2/04 applied: CAUGHT (the chunk loses the binding).
- component: memo(Page) / withAuth(Page) of a const arrow component renders
  when the chunk loads. red-fable-r2/06 applied: CAUGHT (ReferenceError:
  Cannot access 'Page' before initialization).

Subject: [PATCH 0614/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): check every production
 client artifact for dangling names, unminified webpack and Rspack included

The check skipped unminified webpack and Rspack client builds, the artifacts
those configurations ship (split S36, gen G02, GEN-38). It now reads every
production client chunk. A dangling read is the bundler's only on evidence:
it lies in the bundler's region of a module, and that module, as the bundler
parsed it after its loaders and plugins (recorded by recordParsedModules),
binds every read of the name. Two bundler mechanisms produce such reads in
unminified output: Rspack 2.2.7 drops import bindings of unused code it keeps
(webpack declares them), and both remove declarations after a return they
computed while keeping function declarations that read them. The control now
rejects the unminified build's surviving dead dangling name, and new controls
prove both bundler mechanisms are attributed and a module that loses its own
binding is still rejected.

Subject: [PATCH 0615/1425] test(router-plugin): generator failure reports from
 any channel, recovery checked after the fix

generatorDevApp gains mark()/diagnostics(since): the generator's console
output plus the dev server's own errors and warnings (Vite's logger,
Rsbuild's compile diagnostics), as diagnostics. A broken route file must be
reported (naming the file, through any channel) by the edit that breaks it;
after the fixing edit, the route must come back and no error be reported
from then on, so a permitted report of the broken file no longer fails the
recovery (V1R gen G13, also for the created-broken-file Rsbuild pin).

Subject: [PATCH 0616/1425] test(router-plugin): parity of values, reverse
 activation and every grouping setting; property-write cells per bundler and
 hint

V1R split S16/S17:
- split-mode-parity: five splittable options per route, each importing a
  load marker; routes in forward/reverse activation pairs; route groupings,
  splitBehavior and defaultBehavior precedence; loader data and the route
  rendered by the real router; the deleted headers code in no client
  chunk. Expected groups are computed from the configured groupings. Vite
  and Rsbuild, dev and build, all pass.
- the seven displayName host/hint cells removed by speedup 7 are restored
  (with the Vite no-hint cell) in their own file, built concurrently
  (7.4 s); every cell verified red (DanglingNameError: Page).

Subject: [PATCH 0617/1425] test(start-plugin-core): count a dynamic import as
 a load only where a production bundler keeps it

moduleLoads unioned real module requests with every syntactic dynamic
import, so a correct compiler leaving an uncalled function with an import()
of a server-only module for the bundler to delete failed expectNotLoaded
(start N14). Real requests (static links, imports run while evaluating) stay
strict; a dynamic import counts when Rolldown, bundling the compiled module
alone with tree-shaking on and its exports kept, keeps it
(keptDynamicImports in compiler-test-utils, the same deciding bundler as
getModuleErrors' dead references). The new control lists imports in live
code (an exported caller, a top-level call) and not in dead code.

Subject: [PATCH 0620/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): the self-test's
 generator writes atomically

The dev-server harness self-test "reports created, renamed and deleted
files to the plugins, and the files they write meanwhile" failed 3 times
in the V4 variant phase (load ~30): once with an extra `update
generated.ts` after `create generated.ts`, twice with "the file watcher
did not report generated.ts". Its generator plugin wrote with a plain
`writeFile`: a truncation and a write. Under load the watcher reports
the two steps of a new file as an `add` and a `change` (the extra
update), and for an existing file the harness can read the empty file
at the first event while the content lands in the same millisecond, so
chokidar's mtime check never reports the second step (the timeout). A
generator writes atomically (the router generator's `safeFileWrite`);
the self-test now does too, through the harness's `saveAppFile`.

Subject: [PATCH 0622/1425] test(router-plugin): follow every app and virtual
 module from the served route module, not only same-path ids

V1R split S03 (slice-local part): the out-of-order dev-edit walk kept only
imports resolving to the route file's own path, so a compiler emitting a
separate support module or another virtual scheme would not be compiled
and reloaded. The plugin-host graph part stays with W4-shared.

Subject: [PATCH 0623/1425] test(compiler): attribute dev-only support in
 production by paired builds, and inspect the whole excluded dev graph

Production client bundles were compared with their route-HMR-off control as
sets of identifier tokens (split S14): a harmless private renaming failed,
and a development-only call built from names the bundle already had passed.
addedCode (compiler-test-utils/added-code) compares the two builds' statements
as multisets of shallow, alpha-equivalent, printer- and placement-independent
shapes: what the build ships that the control lacks is attributed to the
setting, whatever it is named. production-bundle.ts uses it for every
framework (the control is the same for all). Controls: fixed chunks and real
Vite/Rspack builds where a renamed helper adds nothing and one more
console.warn of existing names is added.

Route HMR in the environment plugin.vite.environmentName excludes (HMR-10)
and Start's server environment in dev (HMR-08) are now checked over every
module the environment serves from the route module, the router packages
and any compiler support module included; only Vite's client and
externalized packages are left out. The route-local literal positive scan
is gone; the real-page loader edit is the positive control.

Subject: [PATCH 0625/1425] test(compiler): select the corpus by default and
 run implementation tests in their own targets

Files under tests/**/outside-compiler-corpus/ are implementation tests:
test:unit and test:integration leave them out, test:implementation (and
test:implementation:unit) run them, and the root CI scripts and the
compiler platform workflow run those targets too. The budget reporter
ignores the implementation projects. The internal resolver tests (start
N08) and the stringified handleRouteUpdate tests (hmr H12) move there.

+## Corpus and implementation tests
+
+The compiler test corpus is an oracle: a compiler that passes every corpus test is a good compiler. Some useful tests check choices of today's implementation that a correct rewrite may make differently (printed bytes, log policy, internal functions such as the stringified `handleRouteUpdate` or the server fn resolver generator, perf counters). Those are **implementation tests**, kept and run, but not part of the corpus.
+
+- **Label:** an implementation test is a file under a directory named `outside-compiler-corpus/` in a package's `tests/` (fast tier) or `tests/integration/` (slow tier). One label, by location; no tags or name prefixes. A corpus file that contains an implementation block moves that block to such a file. Its header says why it is outside the corpus and which corpus test decides the outcome instead, if any.
+- **Selection** (router-plugin, start-plugin-core, router-generator: Vitest projects in `vite.config.ts`):
+  - `test:unit` (project `unit`, plus `types` in router-generator) and `test:integration` (project `integration`) select the corpus only: they exclude `**/outside-compiler-corpus/**`.
+  - `test:implementation` (projects `implementation` and `implementation-integration`) selects the implementation tests of both tiers; `test:implementation:unit` the fast ones only.
+  - The root `test:pr`/`test:ci` scripts and the compiler platform workflow run the implementation targets too, so no implementation test is lost; acceptance of a rewrite reads only `test:unit` and `test:integration`.
+- A package that gets its first implementation test adds the two projects and the two scripts the same way. react-start-rsc has none yet. This package's own tests are harness controls, not compiler tests; none of them is an implementation test of a compiler.
+- Budgets (`test-budgets.json`) cover the corpus tiers; the implementation projects have none.
+- What does not belong outside the corpus: a goal pin (`.fails`) of a real bug, a test of supported behaviour that is merely slow, and a control of this package's helpers.
+
 ## Budgets
 
 `test-budgets.json`: per package, a target and a hard limit for each tier at `--maxWorkers=4`; 15 s for any slow-tier file; 10 s from edit to result for one fast-tier file, Nx included. `src/budget-reporter.ts` prints the comparison after every run and never fails it (times move with the machine's load). Other worker counts (CI, one worker) are reported only.

 - Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object. Which bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
 - Every option configured for splitting must end up split. When a pattern the user can change prevents it, the option keeps working in the entry and the build warns once, naming the file and the option. When the limitation is ours, it is a bug to fix, not a warning.
-- `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules.

+- `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules. Keep runtime dependencies inside the function or explicitly emit them; extracting a helper to plugin module scope breaks the generated function. `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/handle-route-update.test.ts` (an implementation test, `test:implementation`) executes that emitted code: it calls the emitted function with the route of an edited file and a live router.
 - Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
 - Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier, the inner loop) runs `tests/**` in process; a Vite dev server in middleware mode is allowed. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: every test that starts a real build (`build`, `buildAndRun`), an Rsbuild dev server or watch compiler, a child Node process or a browser page (`openRouteHmrPage`). Put such tests under `tests/integration/`; a file with tests of both kinds is split by test into files of the same name in both directories. Run both tiers before handing back.
 - Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: compile the route and load the emitted modules with `loadRoute` from `tests/regression-helpers.ts` (built on the module linker from `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils`), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.

Subject: [PATCH 0626/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): stop a dev server
 without removing its app, and read every channel a dev app prints through

Both dev-server harnesses get stop(): it closes the server and its watcher
and keeps the app directory, so an edit after the server stopped can be
observed; close() (what registerCleanup gets) still removes it. The
generator dev app reads every console method and direct stdout/stderr
writes, not only console.error/warn (W4-gen items 1 and 2).

Subject: [PATCH 0627/1425] test(router-plugin): strengthen HMR outcome
 coverage

Link emitted route graphs to the real router and renderer, observe exported
component identity through eager importers, and keep reload/error results
live through final assertions. Require working factory edits even after a
warning. Cover metadata edits/removals and the fresh index Route.to on real
Vite/Rsbuild pages; add the Rsbuild Solid/Vue wrapper-preservation goals.

Remove component-key presence and private URL spelling assertions under
OQ14 and SPEC section 5.3. Existing nested Outlet and resolver-order controls
retain the behavior; no deletion claims type-invalid input.

Validation: types, eslint, unit (636), and integration (542) twice with
identical counts. Ten HMR red variants caught, four greens clean, and new
or affected goal pins verified red without .fails. Timing overruns and the
three W4-shared handoffs are recorded in the W4-hmr report.

Subject: [PATCH 0628/1425] test(router-plugin): keep the handleRouteUpdate
 tests in the corpus, labelled as owned-runtime controls

They are the only corpus test catching a mutant that loses the lazy options
the route tree gave an edited route (V4 red-astra/08), so they decide a
user-visible outcome; the header names their category instead (hmr H12).
The corpus convention says so.

 - Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object. Which bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
 - Every option configured for splitting must end up split. When a pattern the user can change prevents it, the option keeps working in the entry and the build warns once, naming the file and the option. When the limitation is ours, it is a bug to fix, not a warning.
-- `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules. Keep runtime dependencies inside the function or explicitly emit them; extracting a helper to plugin module scope breaks the generated function. `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/handle-route-update.test.ts` (an implementation test, `test:implementation`) executes that emitted code: it calls the emitted function with the route of an edited file and a live router.

 - Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
 - Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier, the inner loop) runs `tests/**` in process; a Vite dev server in middleware mode is allowed. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: every test that starts a real build (`build`, `buildAndRun`), an Rsbuild dev server or watch compiler, a child Node process or a browser page (`openRouteHmrPage`). Put such tests under `tests/integration/`; a file with tests of both kinds is split by test into files of the same name in both directories. Run both tiers before handing back.
 - Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: compile the route and load the emitted modules with `loadRoute` from `tests/regression-helpers.ts` (built on the module linker from `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils`), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.

Subject: [PATCH 0629/1425] test(router-plugin): harness controls run outside
 the corpus; the out-of-order pins accept any graph layout

The regression-helpers controls (both tiers: openRouteHmrPage, the
in-process host, loadRoute) check the test helpers, not the compiler, so
they move under outside-compiler-corpus/ (test:implementation); no V4 red
is caught by them alone. The out-of-order dev edit pins no longer require
more than one module and tolerate a pre-edit URL that no longer compiles:
the page loads the current graph from the route module (V1R hmr HMR-27).
Both pins verified red without .fails (Export 'CardB' is not defined;
B1/B1).

Subject: [PATCH 0631/1425] test(router-plugin): count bundle atoms once per
 chunk

Keeps build-production-webpack within its budget: each chunk's atoms are
counted once (the oracle control adds its code as a module of its own
instead of editing the entry chunk, so the build's chunks are not
re-parsed).

Subject: [PATCH 0632/1425] test(start): repair compiler oracle and use real
 host consumers

Check fresh collision mappings, nested RPC safety, independent capture
outcomes, actionable handler diagnostics, and consumed fixture exports.
Use srvx for HTTP/static hosting and real hydrated Start pages for global
middleware and Rsbuild factory/id workloads. Contract-test the retained
Cloudflare resolve hook against workerd and builtin delegation.

No input was deleted or reclassified as unsupported. Existing parsing,
transport, module-load and successful-build controls remain; new bug pins
were verified red without .fails. Test-only changes; shared helpers and
import-protection/hydrate files remain with their assigned owners.

Subject: [PATCH 0633/1425] test(start): catch async receiver and client
 transport escapes

Exercise async isomorphic promises, both environment-only call receivers,
provider default-export effects over HTTP, browser RPC cancellation, and
a validator schema also consumed by a hydrated form. Preserve module-load
checks while allowing harmless identifier spellings in dead code.

All five assigned round-two patches were applied independently, caught by
the relevant Start outcomes, and reverted. No product or dependency changes.

Subject: [PATCH 0634/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): a free name a dependency
 reads in its own source is not a dangling-name defect

Ruling "dangling-name attribution" (2026-10-20): a dangling read in a
production client chunk counts unless it lies in a dependency's module
(outside the app or under node_modules) whose original source on disk
reads the name and binds it nowhere (e.g. seroval's
const RETURN = () => T, used through RETURN.toString()). A binding the
original source has, lost by a compiler or the bundler, counts, and so
does every read in the app's own and virtual modules. The bundler-lost
exemption is gone. Controls (each verified red by a mutation of the
attribution): a dependency's own free read passes and the same code in
the app fails; Rspack dropping a dependency's import binding fails (webpack
declares it); a transform dropping it fails on both.

Subject: [PATCH 0635/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): check for dangling names
 only the modules the compilers under test produced or changed

Amended ruling "dangling-name attribution" (2026-10-20): the check
covers the app's modules (user and route code, split chunks), modules
without a file (virtual and support modules) and the dependency modules a
transform hook (a loader other than the bundler's built-in ones) saw in
that build. In such a dependency a free read counts only when the module
as the transforms left it reads the name free while its original source
does not; a dependency no transform saw is out of scope, whatever the
bundler does inside it (Rspack dropping import bindings). Controls,
each verified red by a mutation of the attribution: an untouched
dependency whose binding Rspack drops passes; a transform dropping a
dependency's binding fails; a transformed dependency's own free read
(seroval's shape) passes and the same code in the app fails; the dead
notDeclaredAnywhere in app code still fails.

Subject: [PATCH 0636/1425] test(start): repair import-protection compiler
 outcome oracles

Accept relevant original import/use locations and context-free source frames,
require mapped MDX positions, and scope suggestions and edit diagnostics to
their public outcomes. Use real browser client execution and Node SSR output;
exercise actual default mockAccess, exemption blame, and resolver guidance.
Add public rule outcomes for the V4 matcher and inherited mock-property gaps.

Move sourceLocation helper-preference controls outside compiler acceptance
(V1R I08 / SPEC section 8); retain public report shapes and add missing nested
middleware/server-isomorphic cases. No test was changed on a claim of invalid
TypeScript input. The isolated I11 edit row now passes without an expected-
failure marker and retains its exact empty final violation set.

Validation: types and ESLint pass; full unit (1308 tests) and integration
(1046 tests) pass twice with identical counts, including existing goal pins.
Verified 121 touched pins red; all 16 relevant red mutations are caught and
all 5 green rewrites have zero compiler-corpus failures. Detailed evidence
is in validation/waves/W4-ip.md under the compiler-test-intent cache.
No product or dependency changes.

+/**
+ * What a build ships that a paired control build of the same app does not
+ * (SPEC G7, J3.7): the oracle of dev-only support in production artifacts.
+ * The control differs in one setting only (e.g. route HMR off), so code the
+ * build has and the control lacks is attributed to that setting, whatever
+ * it is named and wherever the bundler puts it.
+ *
+ * `addedCode(build, control)` compares the statements of every chunk of the
+ * two builds, as multisets of their shapes:
+ * - each statement at any depth, shallow (the statements nested in it are
+ *   compared on their own), so one statement added inside a function shows
+ *   as that statement only;
+ * - alpha-equivalent: names the chunk binds (private helpers, minified
+ *   names) are renamed in their order of appearance within the statement;
+ *   free names (globals such as `console`) and property names stay;
+ * - printer-independent: the syntax tree is compared, not the text (quotes,
+ *   parentheses, layout);
+ * - placement-independent: the chunks of a build form one multiset, and
+ *   string literals naming emitted chunk files (content hashes) are one
+ *   placeholder.
+ * A harmless private renaming or printing difference therefore adds
+ * nothing, while a development-only call made of names the bundle already
+ * has (e.g. one more `console.warn(...)`) is an added statement.

Subject: [PATCH 0637/1425] test(start): strengthen the Hydrate compiler oracle

Cover eleven literal boundaries, inline edge spaces, shared fallback values,
digit-bearing hooks, below-JSX function declarations and computed-key module
dependencies. Observe independent child requests and HMR loading separately
from mounted-instance gauges, while allowing equivalent chunk layouts and
framework refresh replacement. Split independent host sessions for file budgets.

TypeScript 6.0.2 over real Hydrate declarations: the original string-returning
prefetch reports TS2322; the void-returning replacement passes.

Validation twice: types, eslint, 1298 unit cases and 1027 integration cases.
All 22 J5/J7 red variants are caught; all eight green variants pass.

Subject: [PATCH 0638/1425] test(rsc): strengthen CSS delivery and Flight
 semantics coverage

Check runtime conditional selection and effects, plain-model shape, and
look-alike argument values. Isolate two helpers in one module so one payload's
CSS cannot hide another's missing delivery, and cover JavaScript providers.
Add client-only CSS controls on Rsbuild dev and Vite production, strengthen
stream diagnostics, and use public server-function URLs for the D6 goal.
Split independent real app sessions and scope concurrent browser cleanup.

Validation twice: types, eslint, 51 unit cases and 119 integration cases.
New and changed pins are verified red with their expected-failure markers removed.

Subject: [PATCH 0639/1425] test(router-generator): clear leftover route files
 before preparing the file-modification fixture

A gitignored route file left in routes/(test) by an earlier run (e.g.
template-literal.tsx of the old harness) became one more route of the
fixture and failed generator.test.ts in that checkout only. The new
harness control (outside the corpus) fails on the old helper with
template-literal.tsx left over.

Subject: [PATCH 0640/1425] test(router-plugin): restore the window-defined
 variation of the HMR-06 rows

The W4-hmr rewrite of HMR-06 dropped the browser-like evaluation with
`window = {}`. Each style/route now evaluates with and without a hot API,
with and without `window`. Probe: dropping the optional chaining on
`window.__TSR_ROUTER__` in the Vite adapter fails only the new
window-defined, hot-present rows (reverted).

Subject: [PATCH 0641/1425] test(compiler): name user-visible impacts and
 sources of three pins

- rp known-bugs-route-hmr: the split Solid/Vue identity pin names the
  remount and lost local state (Vite: full reload).
- rp known-bugs-code-splitter: the look-alike createFileRoute pin gets its
  Source line.
- spc start-build-determinism: the S03 fresh-build mapping pin no longer
  claims unchanged app input; the entries differ in import order.

Cloudflare app's wrangler, which only resolves after a full root install.
miniflare is now a devDependency at 4.20260317.0, the version wrangler
4.75.0 already resolves (one copy; lockfile regenerated with
pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile: importer entry only). Coordinator-
approved test-only devDep (DECISIONS 2026-10-20).

Subject: [PATCH 0643/1425] test(start-plugin-core): dispatch the in-process
 client host through the virtual module contract (H10)

render.ts's client host only loaded ids whose path before the query was
the parent's, which constrained how a compiler may spell its virtual
module ids. It now hands the plugin the ids its virtualModuleIdPattern
matches and loads them through loadCompilerVirtualModule, as the Vite and
Rsbuild hosts do (the real host functions of src/start-compiler/host.ts,
no copied resolver); every other id the linker asks for is declined.

New harness control (outside the corpus): a relocated virtual id loads
and renders like the original; './unrelated-module' and its extension
probes never reach the plugin. Red on the old check ("No stub for import
/elsewhere/relocated-module.tsx?...") and on an ungated host (the probes
reach the loader).

Subject: [PATCH 0644/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): name files absolute or
 project-relative only
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Per DECISIONS 2026-10-20 "file names in diagnostics (§5.7)", ctu
`mentionsFile` accepts an absolute path or a relative path holding the whole
project-relative path, and rejects a part of it alone (`other.ts` for
`src/other.ts`). The location oracle also requires 1-based lines and
columns, so W4-ip's `originalLocation` adapter keeps no rule of its own.

- ctu controls for the new rule; each fails on the old behaviour (15).
- `expectMapsTo({ mapUrl })` resolves a map's relative source against the
  module it belongs to, as the source map spec does; the Vite dev
  source-map tests (rp, spc) pass the served module.
- rg: the route-group error names `(group).tsx` relative to the routes
  directory: now a pin (verified red: "does not name
  src/routes/(group).tsx unambiguously").
- The dev pin `other.ts:2:24` stays red through the shared oracle.

Subject: [PATCH 0645/1425] test(start-plugin-core): import-protection location
 checks on the shared oracle
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

J6.5 never accepts compiled coordinates: the remaining exact `file:line:col`
checks and the file-only/any-column checks of the ip tests now go through the
shared location oracle.

- Exact sites (merge W4-ip list): build-options 87/403/416/429/582,
  build 730/1055, dev 1843, rsbuild 269/292/312/572, known-bugs 480, plus
  dev MDX 733/760/831, marker reports (markerReport, 1324), 1362,
  v2-alias 92, build "split route component" (file-name only).
- Which-importer helpers (build-options `outcome`, exemptions
  `reportedFiles`, v2-hosts `reportedImporters`, known-bugs `loadOutcome`
  and the custom-type pin, rule-outcomes) use `locatedImporters`: the
  importer's file only at its import of the reported specifier or at a
  reference to a binding it introduces (ctu `importedBindingUses`), or a
  marked module's marker import (ASK-1); anything else stays visible with
  its coordinates.
- `ExpectedViolation.otherUses`, `originalLocation(…, { unavailable,
  others })`.
- Controls: ctu `importedBindingUses`, column 0 and basename locations;
  spc `locatedImporters` (use, import, other line/column, compiled
  coordinates, no coordinates, unknown source, marker origin, the dev
  duplicate naming the resolved path).
- rsbuild "the file rule … naming the importer" keeps its file check: the
  adjacent pin asserts the (wrong) location.
- All 123 ip pins fail for the same reason as on e0070dae57 (run without
  `.fails` on both trees, failure messages compared).

Subject: [PATCH 0646/1425] test(start-plugin-core): one Chromium client runner
 for the dev-server tests

W4-ip's `client-pages.ts` and W4-shared's `runInClient` in
`rsbuild-dev-server.ts` both drove Chromium. Now one core,
`withRecordedPage` (rsbuild-dev-server.ts): a page recording console calls
and uncaught errors from its first statement on.

- Rsbuild: `runInClient`/`runRsbuildClient` are W4-shared's (page of the
  recorded client entry files; a failed script load or an error thrown
  while loading fails). client-pages re-exports them; its own Rsbuild page
  path, the generated-HTML entry tweak and the favicon route are gone, and
  its `startBrowserRsbuild*` use `clientPage`.
- Vite: `runViteClient` keeps the fixture page through Vite's HTML
  pipeline and the optimizer-reload retry, now on the same core: an error
  the page's code does not catch while the entry loads fails (new), as do a
  failed entry import and a thrown script.
- No assertion changed; all ip pins fail for the same reason as before.

Subject: [PATCH 0648/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): wait for Vite's
 full-bundle initial build before closing

Vite 8.3.4's BundledDev ends its initial build with a getBundleState() call
nothing awaits; closing the server while it is in flight makes Rolldown
reject it, unhandled ("Failed to get bundle state"). User-authorized harness
workaround (FOLLOWUPS "UPSTREAM (W5-ip)"): before vite.close() of a
bundledDev server, wait one turn at a time for BundledDev.initialBuildCompleted
(an internal; no public API, vitejs/vite#22991), with eventTimeout as a guard.

Evidence (temporary probe, create -> clientBundle() -> close at load ~10-17):
before 2/400 and 1/1000 unhandled rejections; after 0/3000. 32 loaded Nx
runs of importProtection/dev.test.ts afterwards (load 15.9-18.9): 0.

Subject: [PATCH 0649/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): importedBindingUses
 counts only runtime references to the import

SPEC J6.5 never accepts an erased type position, and a same-name local is
another binding. importedBindingUses (used by spc locatedImporters) now walks
the Oxc AST with scopes: it skips type-only code (TS type nodes, type keys,
declare, type-only exports), names a local binding shadows (params, let/const,
var, catch, function/class expression names), names that are not references
(keys, members, labels, exported names, re-exports from another module, JSX
attribute and intrinsic element names). Uses in removed boundary bodies are
not told apart; tests of those name the genuine use.

Controls: three ctu tests and two spc locatedImporters rows; all five fail on
the old helper.

The rsc "dev explains the CSS limitation once per source file…" and "a false

Subject: [PATCH 0651/1425] test(start-plugin-core): the MDX page's genuine use
 is at 7:27, not 7:24

`inPage` named the use of `secret` in `export const read = () => secret() +
leak()` as 7:24, which is `=>`; `secret` starts at column 27. A temporary
probe that let the import-protection transform cache record `.mdx` (reverted)
made the plugin report src/page.mdx:7:27, which the passing control rejected:
the corpus would have failed a correct fix. The control now passes under the
probe. The MDX location pin's Source also notes that, once located, the report
is logged twice (as written and as the resolved path): the pinned "'once' logs
one warning for one import" bug, which that pin also needs fixed.

Subject: [PATCH 0652/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): Rsbuild harness starts
 on predated files and attributes compiles to edits by file state

Ruling DECISIONS 2026-10-20 "Rsbuild first-edit harness fixes" (A, B):
- The app's initial files are dated 10 s back before the dev server starts,
  as files on a user's disk are. Written a moment before the first compile,
  they fell within watchpack's mtime accuracy, its first scan reported them
  changed and Rspack started a second compile by itself, during a test's
  first edit: a removal landing then was lost (FOLLOWUPS "UPSTREAM
  (W3-harness2)"), and the edit's wait counted that compile.
- trackCompiles counts a compile toward an edited file only if, when it
  started, the file was no longer as before the edit (contents or mtime).
  A compile that started before the write no longer ends the wait. (Per
  file, not "after the edit's last write": a compile the edit's first write
  starts mid-edit legitimately compiles that write.)

Controls (ctu integration), each failing on the old harness: the initial
files predate the first compile by more than 2 s; a compile held in
watchRun from before the edit's write does not end its wait (also fails
with only the mtime fix).

Subject: [PATCH 0653/1425] test(start-plugin-core): a resolve-elsewhere edit
 may report its in-between unresolved state

Ruling DECISIONS 2026-10-20 "Rsbuild first-edit harness fixes" (C): moving
src/lib.ts to src/lib/index.ts in one edit passes through a state where
./lib resolves nowhere, which Rsbuild (aggregateTimeout 0) may compile and
report with no resolved path. The row now asserts that the new target is
reported last, that only undefined reports precede it since the edit, and
that no report from then on names src/lib.ts. A resolve cache serving the
old target (the R4 mutation) still fails it.

Subject: [PATCH 0654/1425] test(react-start-rsc): build react-start-client
 before test:unit

tests/rsc-css-diagnostics.test.ts imports start-plugin-core's
tests/regression-helpers, which renders with the built
@tanstack/react-start-client. react-start-rsc's test:unit only had ^build,
so it failed in a fresh checkout. Declare the build like start-plugin-core
does for its own test:unit. test:integration already reaches it through
@tanstack/react-start:build.

Subject: [PATCH 0655/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): budget reporter treats
 failed runs as no measurement

A run in which a test file failed (a failed test or a file that did not
load), an error escaped the tests, or the run was interrupted leaves out
or cuts short the failed work, so its time is not a measurement. Strict
mode now fails it as an invalid measurement instead of printing "passed";
report-only mode says its times are not a measurement. Control:
tests/integration/budget-reporter.test.ts drives the real Vitest CLI on a
fixture tier (verified red against the previous reporter).

Subject: [PATCH 0656/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): a Vite build ends once
 every hook it started settled

Vite runs the plugins' configResolved hooks with Promise.all. In the
plugin-order rows of router-plugin's code-splitter-pragmas integration test
(a framework JSX plugin before the router plugin), the code splitter's hook
throws while the route generator's still runs: the build rejects, the
harness disposes the app, and the generator then renames routeTree.gen.ts
into the directory being removed (ENOTEMPTY when it lands between rm's
readdir and rmdir; ENOENT, printed to stderr, when it lands after). Before:
2 late renames in every run of the file (3/3 checked); after: none in 30
loaded runs.

buildWithVite now wraps each hook of the plain plugin objects it is given
to record the promise it returns, and waits for them all (also when the
build failed) before it returns or throws. The late write also no longer
prints into a later build's console capture.

Subject: [PATCH 0657/1425] test(router-plugin): generator dev app settles the
 page too, and never refetches failed scripts

"a route file broken by an edit is reported, and fixing it brings the
route back" (Vite) failed once at load ~37 with an error after the fixing
edit's mark. The error is Vite's transform error for the broken content
(`export const Route = (`): a stale report of the earlier version, not an
error about the fixed file. Two harness causes, both reproduced (a timing
probe made the test fail 3/3 before, pass 3/3 after):

- settle() returned once Vite handled the file event, before the page's
  HMR client fetched the updated module; that fetch's transform error could
  be logged after the next mark. On Vite, settle() now also waits until the
  page handled every update the server sent (vite:afterUpdate, which Vite's
  client emits after the fetch, failed or not), received invalidations
  were answered, or a full reload loaded the page (same signals as
  route-hmr-page.ts).
- The record of loaded scripts read every script response's body; for a
  500 response Chromium keeps no body and Playwright refetches it
  (Network.loadNetworkResource), a late request of the harness's own that
  Vite transformed and reported again. Error responses are now skipped
  (they ran no code).

30 loaded runs of dev-server-new-routes.test.ts (load ~31): 0 failures.

Subject: [PATCH 0658/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin the visible()
 boundary's concurrent-render error; client-mount rows scroll to an idle
 boundary
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The V4 round-3 flake of "a direct fallback with split={false} shows, then
the children" (React: "There was an error during concurrent rendering but
React was able to recover…") is a product bug, not a harness race. The
cause is "Update hook called on initial render" in react-start-client's
visible.tsx HydrationBoundary: use() is called only while the gate is
closed, then useEffect. When the IntersectionObserver opens the gate
between a concurrent render that suspended there and React's replay, the
replay skips use() (react.dev/errors/607). Reproduced with CDP CPU
throttling 20x (each run had 1-4 of the client-mount rows failing), and
deterministically from user code with an effect of 40 ms next to the
boundary.

- New pin (Vite + Rsbuild): "a visible boundary next to a slow effect shows
  its fallback, then the children, without an error". The page mounts the
  boundary nine times. Verified red without .fails (18/18 mounts report the
  error), green with a probe fix (hook above the conditional use(),
  reverted), and red in 30/30 runs at load ~31 with 6x throttling, 6/6 at
  20x.
- The client-mount rows (J5.3, the compiler keeps the fallback) mount the
  page below the fold and scroll to the boundary once the page is idle
  (requestIdleCallback), so they no longer race that bug. All assertions
  are unchanged. 30/30 clean at 20x throttling and 10/10 at load ~30.

Subject: [PATCH 0659/1425] test(start-plugin-core): drop the visible() runtime
 pin from the compiler corpus

The pin "a visible boundary next to a slow effect shows its fallback, then
the children, without an error" fails because of react-start-client's
HydrationBoundary (src/hydration/visible.tsx: use() only while the gate is
closed, then a hook), a runtime component the compilers do not emit. Per
the ruling that bugs outside the compilers do not belong in the corpus,
the test and its fixture are removed; the bug is tracked as a runtime
follow-up. The client-mount fallback rows keep their J5.3 assertions; their
comment now names the runtime bug instead of the pin.

Subject: [PATCH 0660/1425] test(router-plugin): name the cause of the Rsbuild
 unsplit Solid route HMR pin

The webpack-style route HMR code runs before Solid Refresh's $$refresh in
the route module and assigns `hot.data ??= {}` on the first run; Solid
Refresh 0.6.3 reads a truthy hot.data as a previous run, so its dispose
saves no registry and the next update cannot patch the live component.
A probe that reads hot.data without assigning it (webpack-adapter.ts:71,
reverted) makes the pin pass; a plain Solid component module on Rsbuild
and the same route on Vite already apply in place. The pin stays: the
cause is in router-plugin's emitted HMR code.

Subject: [PATCH 0661/1425] test(start-plugin-core): restore the top-level
 block and unrecognised call shape inputs

User ruling 2026-10-20 ("restore the two borderline corpus removals"):

- U082/U086 (SPEC J4.6 "block"): placement "a block at the module top
  level" in createServerFn/placements.ts (a declarator below the top
  level). It joins the KB pins "with $head imported, a createServerFn in
  $name does not ship its handler to the client" (expectNoClientHandler:
  works through an RPC that reaches the handler, or a positioned compile
  error naming createServerFn with a placement cause). Red on main:
  createServerFn alone -> the client loads ./db.server (left
  untransformed); another factory -> the provider exports
  `inner_createServerFn_handler`, which it never declares. The loosened
  declaration-sites regression and the KB "rejected at the call" pin now
  leave declarators out (same set as before; the block's bug is the
  declarator one, pinned above).
- U078-U081 (SPEC J4.5/J4.12): KB unit pin "$name: the client holds no
  server code, or the module is rejected at the call" for
  createServerFn()['handler'], createMiddleware()['server'],
  createIsomorphicFn()['server'] and createServerOnlyFn(...).bind(null).
  Each output rejects at the call (expectCompileError + callShapeCauses)
  or follows its contract (no ./db.server load, no server code, RPC
  reaches the handler / client impl / env restriction, SSR runs it).
  Red on main for all four: forbidden module ./db.server loaded (every
  output left untransformed). Control: the static-member forms pass the
  same check.
- U047/U048 string export names: factories "builders re-exported under
  string export names are recognised, or rejected clearly" (green).
- Build level: integration/start-build-call-shapes.test.ts, Vite and
  Rsbuild, one shared build per bundler (each shape rebuilt alone if the
  shared build fails). Works (client bundle 'nowhere', client behaviour,
  SSR call by id) or a build error naming the shape's file and line
  (expectSourceError). 5 pins per bundler red on main: server-only module
  'eager' in the client bundle; string export names green. Controls:
  static forms pass all 12; a position-less compile error is refused.

tsc 7.0.2 against the real start-client-core declarations accepts every
restored input (computed members, .bind(null), string export names, the
top-level block).

Subject: [PATCH 0662/1425] test(start-plugin-core): read the Vite client
 fixture from one document

`runViteClient` waited for `__ipEntry`, waited a turn (`settled`), then
read `window.__ipEntry` and ran the script in a separate evaluation. Vite
keeps a `full-reload` sent while no page is connected (an edit between two
runs, the dependency optimizer) and delivers it to the next page on
connect; when that reload landed after `settled` and before the evaluation,
the script ran in the new, still loading document: `globalThis.app` was
undefined and the v2-edits Vite dev rows failed with
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'clientSide')".
Reproduced by waiting for a late navigation before the evaluation (3 of 8
runs failed with that error).

The fixture page now signals when its entry settled (`ip-entry` event), and
one evaluation waits for the current document's entry, waits a turn, checks
the errors the page did not catch while it loaded, runs the script and
returns its logs: every value comes from one document, and a reload during
it destroys the context, which alone is retried. Load errors, uncaught
load-time errors and script errors still fail immediately. No timers.

v2-edits.test.ts: 30/30 loaded runs (load 11-29) pass; with an injected
wait for a late reload before the evaluation, 8/8 pass (17 late reloads).

Subject: [PATCH 0663/1425] test(start-plugin-core): keep the Vite
 marker-exemption pin red in every build

The mock-mode marker-exemption pin (V1R ip I09) passed on Vite in roughly
one run in 12: Vite mocks the other importer's import of a server-only-
marked module only when the marked module's marker import was resolved
first, which the exempt importer can cause, so the outcome is a race of
the build. Measured (loaded, 40 builds each): importers side by side leak
in 56/80, the exempt importer nearer the entry in 2/40, the other importer
nearer the entry in 80/80. Rsbuild mocks the exempt importer in every
order (50/50).

The pin now starts with the other importer nearer the entry (through
`src/mid-ignored.ts`, both export orders), so it is red on both bundlers
in every build, and keeps the racy orders after it, so it passes only once
no order leaks. No passing control for the other order: it leaks too in a
few Vite builds. The assertion is unchanged.

Red without `.fails`: Vite `other: 'MARK_SECRET'` (leak), Rsbuild
`ignored: 'a safe mock'`. 30/30 loaded runs (load 18-23): 2 expected fail.

Subject: [PATCH 0664/1425] test(start-plugin-core): require string export
 names; restore the server-only alias block row

Coordinator follow-ups 2026-10-20:

- String export names (U047/U048) are a re-export form SPEC J4.5 lists
  as recognised: the factories row and the build rows (Vite, Rsbuild)
  now require support, with no rejection branch. Green on main; the
  Start-compiler green V4 patches (green-sol 05/10/11/12, r2 08/09/10)
  stay clean.
- KB "a createServerOnlyFn local alias called in a top-level block works
  in each environment, or is rejected at the call" restores the row
  deleted in a945fe4563 (J4.6 "block"). Either outcome: client throws the
  server-only error without loading ./db.server and SSR runs it, or a
  positioned compile error naming createServerOnlyFn/so with a placement
  or call-shape cause. Pin, red on main: forbidden module ./db.server
  loaded on the client (left untransformed). Control: the same check
  passes for a top-level createServerOnlyFn. tsc 7.0.2 accepts the input.
  The call-shape check is now a shared function (expectWorksOrRejectedAtCall).

Subject: [PATCH 0665/1425] test(start-plugin-core): unpin the z.object() dev
 hang fixed by #8758

Main's #8758 no longer treats `receiver.method()` on a named import as a
Start factory candidate, so the Vite dev client compiler no longer loads
`zod` from inside the transform for `z.object({})` with an empty dependency
cache. That row passes now and becomes a regression test.

The bug the pin described remains for a call of the import itself
(`import { object } from 'zod'; object({})`), which #8758 does not skip.
It is pinned in its place, verified red without .fails: "expected 'hang'
not to be 'hang'". zod 4.5.4 exports `object` by name.

A project module re-exports createServerOnlyFn and createClientOnlyFn under
new names, and a module calls them as members of a namespace import of it
(SPEC J4.5, J4.10, J4.12). Outcome rows, in process for React, Solid and
Vue, and in real Vite and Rsbuild builds: the other environment neither
loads nor runs the implementation, and the owning one runs it.

- Next to a server fn: passing. Before these rows, no corpus test caught a
  compiler that skips namespace receivers.
- Alone in its module: pinned. The bundler plugins pick modules by their
  text, so a module that names no factory is left untransformed.

Subject: [PATCH 0667/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): oracle documents for
 compiler implementers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

packages/compiler-test-utils/oracle/ explains the compiler test oracle to
whoever replaces or rewrites a compiler:

- SPEC.md: the spec the tests cite (G rules, J1-J7 clauses, §5 freedoms,
  §8 checking rules), with the maintainers' rulings folded in.
- RULINGS.md: the decisions behind the clauses, and the authorized test
  workarounds for upstream bugs with when to remove them.
- KNOWN-BUGS.md: the .fails pins by compiler job, generated from the
  tests, and the upstream issues.
- README.md: the goal, where each job's tests live, corpus vs
  implementation tests, pins, and how the suite was validated.

The package AGENTS.md files point to it.

 # Compiler test infrastructure
 
+Replacing or rewriting a compiler? Start with [oracle/README.md](oracle/README.md): the spec the tests cite, the rulings, the known bugs, and how the suite was validated.

 Shared by the compiler test suites (router-plugin, start-plugin-core, router-generator, react-start-rsc and this package). Each has a fast tier (`test:unit`) and a slow tier (`test:integration`, `tests/integration/`); implementation tests outside the corpus run with `test:implementation` (see below).

+# Known bugs of today's compilers
+
+The oracle pins every known bug of the current compilers as a `.fails` test: the test asserts the correct
+outcome, fix-agnostically, and fails on today's code. This index is generated from the pins themselves (each
+`.fails` test and its `Bug:` / `Source:` comment). The test file is the source of truth; search it for the
+scenario name. `$name`, `%s` and `${…}` in a scenario are row placeholders of a table test, which often covers
+several bundlers, frameworks or shapes.
+
+When a pin starts passing, the bug is fixed: remove its `.fails` (Vitest reports it as "Expect test to fail"). A
+correct new compiler may pass many pins at once; that is expected.
+
+Each entry's "Cause" names the product source its comment blames, when it does. It points to today's
+implementation, so a rewrite may have no such file. Most root causes are shared by several pins; the bug text then
+says "same root cause as above".
+
+Counts: 356 pin sites in 87 test files (a table test counts once here; Vitest counts each row).
+
+## Pins by compiler job
+
+### J1 Route file upkeep and route generation (router-generator, generator wiring in router-plugin)
+
+30 pins.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/concurrent-write.test.ts`
+
+- **with tmpDir on another filesystem, the route file and the route tree are replaced atomically.** With `tmpDir` on another filesystem than the app (e.g. the app on a disk and TSR_TMP_DIR on a tmpfs), every publication fails: renaming the temporary file onto the route file or the route tree fails with EXDEV, and the run fails. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/deny-route-group-config.test.ts`
+
+- **a (group).tsx route file is reported by name or routes correctly: $name.** The generator rejects a `(group).tsx` route file with an error that names the file relative to the routes directory (`(group).tsx`, `nested/(group).tsx` for `src/routes/nested/(group).tsx`), neither absolute nor project-relative (SPEC §5.7; ruling "file names in diagnostics"); it neither warns with the file's name nor routes the app. Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/physical/getRouteNodes.ts`.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/generator-dev.test.ts`
+
+- **deleting a layout route keeps its child routes in the route tree.** After a layout route file is deleted, its child routes disappear from the route tree of a running generator, while a fresh run keeps them (under the root route). Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+- **a deleted route tree is written again on its delete event.** A deleted route tree file is not written again: neither on its delete event, nor on the next route change, whose run fails with ENOENT. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+- **after the route tree is deleted, adding a route writes the route tree.** Same as the row above: a deleted route tree file is not written again, and the next route change fails with ENOENT. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+- **editing the virtualRouteConfig file updates the route tree.** Edits to the file `virtualRouteConfig` points to are ignored by a running generator: its update event is dropped (the absolute event path is compared with the configured relative path), and the config module is loaded from jiti's cache anyway. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`, `router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts`.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/generator-options.test.ts`
+
+- **an empty .ts route file is scaffolded, and the other routes still generate.** An empty .ts route file is scaffolded with the route template, which renders JSX; the generator then parses the scaffolded file as plain TypeScript (no JSX) and the run fails with "Error transforming route file". Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+- **importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths imports the lazy route files by absolute paths too.** With importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths, the route tree still imports lazy route files (and lazy components) by paths relative to itself; only the eager route file imports are absolute. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`, `router-generator/src/utils.ts`.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/integration/fixture-types-physical.test.ts`
+
+- **the "%s" route tree types its routes like the router.** A pathless layout in a route group directory (`(group-a)/_layout-a.tsx`, `(bar)/_bar.tsx`) is typed with `fullPath: ''` while the router gives it `/` (the same bug as the group layout pin of route-types.test.ts, `(marketing)/route.tsx`). Cause: `router-generator/src/utils.ts`.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/integration/route-types.test.ts`
+
+- **the layout route of a route group directory has the full path of the router in the types.** The route tree types the layout route of a route group directory (`(marketing)/route.tsx`) with `fullPath: ''` in `FileRoutesByPath`, while the router gives it the full path `/` (real-router.test.ts, "the layout route of a route group directory adds no path segment"; a pathless layout, `_auth.tsx`, is typed `/`, and agrees). Cause: `router-generator/src/utils.ts`.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/known-bugs.test.ts`
+
+- **a moved route with an aliased import of the constructor gets the id of its new path.** The route constructor call is recognized by its callee name, apart from its import: an aliased import (`createFileRoute as route`) is not recognized.
+- **a moved route importing createFileRoute from a module of the app stays a valid module.** Same root cause as above, for `createFileRoute` imported from a module of the app (a wrapper re-exporting it): no import from the router package names it, so the generator prepends one, next to the user's import of the same name. Cause: `router-generator/src/transform/transform.ts`.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/real-router.test.ts`
+
+- **a pathless layout with only a lazy route file keeps its directory path.** A pathless layout with only a lazy route file (`settings/_layout.lazy.tsx`, no `settings/_layout.tsx`) gets no `path` in the route tree, so the router drops the `/settings` prefix its directory gives it: the child matches `/profile`, not `/settings/profile`. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/route-file-upkeep.test.ts`
+
+- **a createFileRoute $name keeps its meaning: the file is left as it is, or reported.** The generator recognises route constructors by name: a route file whose `createFileRoute` is the app's own (declared in the file or imported from another module of the app) gets the router package's instead (an import from './-factory' is rebound to the router package; a declared one gets a router import next to it), and the id argument of the app's call is rewritten. Cause: `router-generator/src/transform/transform.ts`.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/route-paths.test.ts`
+
+- **a pathless layout without child routes yet ($name) next to the index route is added to the route tree.** A pathless layout file without children yet (`_auth.tsx` or `_auth.lazy.tsx`) next to the index route fails the generator with "Conflicting configuration paths were found" for `/` (the layout's full path is `/`, like the index route's), although the layout matches no URL of its own. Cause: `router-generator/src/utils.ts`.
+- **a pathless layout in a directory under a route with only a lazy route file nests under that route.** A pathless layout one directory below a lazy-only route (`app/posts.lazy.tsx`, no `app/posts.tsx`, and `app/posts/drafts/_layout.tsx` with children) is attached to the next real ancestor (`/app`) instead of to the lazy-only route's virtual anchor `/app/posts`, so `/app/posts/drafts/child` renders without the `/app/posts` page around it (same rule as the control above: guide/code-splitting.md:222-224; ruling PIN-A; SPEC J1.14). Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+- **a pathless layout with only $name under a path keeps the path in the URLs of its children.** A pathless layout with a lazy route file only (`foo/_auth.lazy.tsx`, no `foo/_auth.tsx`) or a Vue piece only (`foo/_layout.component.vue`) becomes a route without a file whose node is typed `static`, and the route tree prints a `path` only for non-pathless nodes and for nodes typed `pathless_layout` (src/generator.ts, the `path:` option of `createUpdateRoutes`), so the layout loses the `/foo` prefix it carries when nothing above it is a route. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+- **a route file name with an apostrophe gets a route with it in its URL.** The route tree writes route file paths and route ids into single-quoted strings unescaped, so a route file whose name contains an apostrophe ends the string: the route tree does not parse and the run fails ("';' expected"). Cause: `router-generator/src/utils.ts`, `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+- **routes $ids get their own routes.** Routes whose paths differ only in characters that are not valid in an identifier (`-`, `_`, `$`, a space) or in letter case get the same variable in the route tree, which then declares it twice and fails to parse ("Identifier has already been declared"). Cause: `router-generator/src/utils.ts`.
+
+#### `router-generator/tests/route-pieces.test.ts`
+
+- **a component piece of a directory route (route.component.vue) is the component of the route.** The route file of a directory route is `route.ts` (the default `routeToken`), but a piece file next to it (`posts/route.component.vue`) keeps the `route` segment: route nodes strip only one suffix per file (src/filesystem/physical/getRouteNodes.ts, `suffixToStrip ?? lastRouteSegment`), the piece suffix here, so the piece belongs to a route `/posts/route` of its own. Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/physical/getRouteNodes.ts`.
+- **a .lazy.vue route file is the lazily loaded component of the route.** A `.lazy.vue` route file is wired as the route's lazy route (`.lazy(() => import('./routes/about.lazy.vue').then((d) => d.default))`, src/generator.ts, the `lazyComponentNode` branch), but a single-file component's default export is a component, not a lazy route: the router reads the lazy route's `options` (router-core load-client.ts), which the component does not have, so loading the route fails. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`, `router-core/src/load-client.ts`.
+- **pieces of the root route only are lazy components of their default export.** When only the root route has piece files, the route tree calls `lazyRouteComponent` without importing it, and fails to load with "ReferenceError: lazyRouteComponent is not defined". Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+- **an empty .lazy.vue route file is not filled with TypeScript route code.** An empty `.lazy.vue` file is scaffolded like a `.lazy.tsx` file: the generator writes TypeScript route code (`import { h } from 'vue'`, `createLazyFileRoute(...)`) into the single-file component, which no Vue compiler accepts (src/generator.ts, scaffolding of empty route files; the other Vue pieces are left empty, the rows above). Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/dev-server-generator-watching.test.ts`
+
+- **an edit of the virtual route config file changes the live routes.** An edit of the file `virtualRouteConfig` names (path form, as the docs configure it: './routes.ts') never reaches the live routes: the generator drops the dev server's update event (it compares the absolute event path with the configured relative path) and would load the config module from jiti's cache anyway. Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts`.
+- **an edit of a \_\_virtual.ts file changes the live routes.** An edit of a `__virtual.ts` subtree config never reaches the live routes: the route tree keeps the subtree the dev server started with. Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts`, `router-generator/src/filesystem/physical/getRouteNodes.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-rsbuild-generator-physical.test.ts`
+
+- **a route file created under a physical() mount outside the routes directory reaches the live routes.** A route file created under a `physical()` mount outside the routes directory never runs the generator: the generator's own watcher watches the routes directory only, and the new file is in no bundle yet. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/router-generator-plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-rsbuild-generator.test.ts`
+
+- **a created route file the generator cannot parse is reported, and fixing it adds the route.** A created route file the generator leaves out of the route tree (it cannot parse it) is not in the bundle, so the edit that fixes it never runs the generator. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/router-generator-plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/rsbuild-dev-server-generator-watching.test.ts`
+
+- **an edit of the virtual route config file changes the live routes.** An edit of the file `virtualRouteConfig` names never reaches the live routes. Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts`.
+- **an edit of a \_\_virtual.ts file changes the live routes.** An edit of a `__virtual.ts` subtree config never reaches the live routes: the file is in no bundle and the generator's own watcher reports only created files; the config would also come from jiti's cache (see the Vite pin). Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`
+
+- **a tsr.config.json edit generates the route tree with the new configuration.** On a `tsr.config.json` edit, the generator plugin re-creates the generator with the new configuration and returns without running it (router-generator-plugin.ts `generate`). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/router-generator-plugin.ts`.
+
+### J2 Route code splitting (router-plugin, router-utils)
+
+106 pins.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-imported-options.test.ts`
+
+- **are split, or reported once naming the route file.** The code splitter resolves the route options only from an object literal of the route file (`resolveIdentifier`, compilers.ts): for an imported binding it finds nothing, leaves the route untouched and says nothing. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+- **lose the options of deleteNodes and what only they import, or are reported once naming the route file.** Same cause; with Start's client `deleteNodes` the `server` option (and `ssr`, `headers`) stays in the route module with the helper it imports, silently.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-imports-exports.test.ts`
+
+- **are reported once, naming the file and the option, when not code-split: $name.** The warning names the file and the exported binding ("These exports from … will not be code-split: - Page"), never the route option it leaves unsplit.
+- **reads an ambient var merged with an interface from the environment in a shared declaration, with verbatimModuleSyntax.** The route module and the split chunk import the ambient var from the shared module (the interface of the same name stays in them and counts as a read of the shared binding), and the shared module has no runtime binding to export. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-jsx.test.ts`
+
+- **gives separate loader and component chunks the one JSX component %s.** The identifier collection that decides what split options share takes a JSX tag whose first character equals its lowercase form for an intrinsic element (router-utils compiler-helpers.ts, `first === first.toLowerCase()`), which holds for `_`, `$` and non-ASCII lowercase letters, whereas JSX only treats tags starting with an ASCII lowercase letter as intrinsic. Cause: `router-utils/src/compiler-helpers.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-module-state.test.ts`
+
+- **$name.** A class whose static initializer calls a function, read by the options of one split chunk only, is declared in that chunk and also kept in the route module, so the class is created twice.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-plugin-pipeline.test.ts`
+
+- **a route built from $name renders what the factory was given, split or reported.** Route options that only exist inside the factory (its parameters, its locals) are split out of it as if they were module-level code: a split option that closes over a parameter throws a ReferenceError, a component declared in the factory leaves a chunk that exports an undeclared binding, and a parameter that shadows a module-level component makes the chunk render the module-level one.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-pragmas.test.ts`
+
+- **keeps a @jsxImportSource written after the imports as ineffective as in the untouched file (leading-pragma project).** The chunk of the split component starts with the pragma comment (the imports above it in the route file are gone from the chunk), so Oxc reads it there: the split component renders with Emotion's runtime where the untouched file renders with React's.
+- **keeps the pragma in effect in every module that contains JSX.** A split chunk that imports a binding it shares with the route module gets that import inserted above the file's leading pragma comment, and Oxc (Vite 8's JSX transform) only reads pragmas that lead the file.
+- **in the route module, when the code calling the factory is split.** The route module the code splitter emits starts with the code it adds (the split component's importer and the import of the router's lazy helper), above the file's leading pragma comments, and drops the factory import once the route module's only use of it is its JSX (dead-code elimination does not count a classic JSX pragma as a use of its factory: same root cause as the "classic JSX pragmas" pins of known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts).
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/build-harness.test.ts`
+
+- **router plugin with esbuild loads a split component lazily and renders it, or refuses naming esbuild and the option (%s).** The esbuild adapter never runs the route generator in a build (its generator only initialises in `esbuild.config`; generation happens in `watchChange`), so the code splitter knows no route files and splits nothing.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/build-source-maps.test.ts`
+
+- **a throw in a split component maps to its line in the route file ($name).** Unplugin's webpack and Rspack transform loaders drop the source map the router plugin returns when no earlier loader passed one in, so the chunk maps to the code splitter's output (upstream). Cause: unplugin `dist/{webpack,rspack}/loaders/transform.mjs` (upstream).
+- **a throw in $name maps to its line and column in the route file.** Same upstream unplugin cause as the row above. Cause: unplugin `dist/{webpack,rspack}/loaders/transform.mjs` (upstream).
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/code-splitter-pragmas.test.ts`
+
+- **means in the split route what it means in the untouched route (Vite: Oxc ignores it).** The chunk of the split component starts with the pragma comment (the imports above it in the route file are gone from the chunk), so Oxc reads it there: the split component is styled by Emotion where the untouched route left the `css` prop as an attribute.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/code-splitter-router.test.ts`
+
+- **renders without a new request or a pending fallback once the router preloaded it.** The code splitter moves the already lazy value into a chunk of its own, so the route's component is a lazy component whose module exports another lazy component: the router's preload loads the outer chunk only, and the first render suspends (pending fallback) and requests the page module.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/code-splitter-runtime.test.ts`
+
+- **preserves executable route contracts with shared named-default declarations.** Shared extraction duplicates a named default function declaration.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/dev-source-maps.test.ts`
+
+- **the route module and every module derived from it map a throw to its line in the route file.** Unplugin's Rspack transform loader drops the source map the router plugin's `transform` returns when no earlier loader passed one in, and the router plugin's loader is the first of a route file (same upstream cause as the Rspack and webpack pins of build-source-maps.test.ts). Cause: unplugin `dist/rspack/loaders/transform.mjs` (upstream).
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-client-builds.test.ts`
+
+- **a component declared by an array destructuring of a call shared with the errorComponent is split or reported.** Once the pin above is fixed, the split option must also end up split, or the build must say why (decision D11).
+- **an exported errorComponent written as `PostErrorComponent as any` is one instance in the client (vite build).** Same as above, in a real client build whose entry imports the exported component (`export * from './routes/index'`): the component is in both the entry chunk and the split chunk, and the route renders the copy.
+- **a split component that an unused object names renders (vite).** Same root cause as above, for an unused module-level object that names the split component: the route module keeps the object but loses `Page`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-client-output.test.ts`
+
+- **a client build has no server code of an `ssr()` method (vite).** Build-level canary of the method pin in ../known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts (same root cause).
+- **a client build has no server code of options wrapped in `%s` (vite).** Build-level canary of the typed-wrapper pin in ../known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts (same root cause: options wrapped in a cast or `satisfies` are not read; one bundler, as above).
+- **a client build of a symlinked route file has no server handler code (%s).** The code splitter looks route files up by the path the generator scanned (the symlink), but bundlers resolve modules to their real path, so a symlinked route file is never compiled: nothing is split or removed, silently.
+- **a production client bundle logs no development warning in the page when NODE_ENV is unset (%s).** The code splitter's `console.warn` (today: "will not be code-split") is injected into the route module unless the build process's `NODE_ENV` is `production`, instead of following the bundler's mode as the rest of the code splitter does.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-page-code.test.ts`
+
+- **$name loads with its chunk.** A split chunk keeps the route file's exported declarations that its option does not read (D5), and bundlers keep them. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+- **${exportedSharedByOptions.name} loads with its chunk.** Same as the row above (D5). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+- **a root route's %s loads lazily.** Root routes are never split (D12: root errorComponent/notFoundComponent should load lazily). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+- **${destructured.name} load with their chunk or are reported.** A component declared by a destructuring is not split, and nothing is reported (D11). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+- **${unreadExport.name} is not in its chunk.** A split chunk keeps an exported declaration nothing reads (D5). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-property-write.test.ts`
+
+- **await entry.mount('/display-name').** The code splitter moves a component into its chunk but leaves a top-level write to it (`Page.displayName = ...`) in the route module, where `Page` is no longer declared: the entry throws "Page is not defined".
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-ssr-builds.test.ts`
+
+- **a let $name stays writable and the split component reads its value.** A `let` that code in another module than its declaration reassigns is imported there, read-only: a `let` the loader reassigns is shared, so the route module assigns to an import of the shared module; an exported `let` the split component reassigns stays in the route module, which the chunk imports it from ("Cannot assign to import").
+- **a split loader in object form with $name loads route data.** The object form `loader: { handler }` cannot be split: the virtual compiler throws "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: ObjectExpression".
+- **a split loader in object form passed by reference loads route data.** An object-form loader passed by reference (`loader` holding `{ handler }`) is split as if it were the loader function, so the route calls the object ("...
+- **the split component and other modules share an exported $name.** A split chunk declares its own copy of the exported functions and classes of the route file it reads (and of the private state they read), so another module of the app that imports them gets other instances than the split component.
+- **an app in a directory with # in its name builds and preloads a split component.** The route module imports its chunks by absolute file path with the split query (`<root>/routes/index.tsx?tsr-split=component`), and a `#` in the path is read as the start of a URL fragment.
+- **an app in a directory whose name contains tsr-split builds and preloads a split component.** The code splitter compiles every module whose id contains `tsr-split` (path text, not its query) as a split chunk, and throws "The split value for the virtual route ...
+- **an app in a directory with ' in its name builds and preloads a split component.** The route module's chunk importers are built by pasting the absolute file path into a single-quoted string (`import('${splitUrl}')`), so a `'` in the path ends the string early.
+- **an imported split component that head() reads renders, and head() reads it (%s build).** Same root cause as above, in a real build.
+- **a split loader sees the same `this` as an unsplit one.** A split loader is called as a method of its chunk's module namespace (`lazyFn` calls `imported[key](...args)`), so its `this` is the chunk's exports, where the router calls an unsplit loader without a `this`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`
+
+- **a page loading the modules of the route file before the route module renders the edited route after $name.** The route module's transform computes the bindings that go to the shared module (`?tsr-shared=1`) and stores them by file; the shared and split transforms read that stored set instead of deriving it from the code they compile (router-code-splitter-plugin.ts `sharedBindingsMap`). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/router-code-splitter-plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts`
+
+- **a binding read by a computed-key option and a split option is created once.** A binding that an option with a computed key and a split option both read is created twice: the computed-key option is not seen as a reader of the route module.
+- **a binding declared by $name and read by the loader and the split component is initialized once.** A `var` nested in a statement, an enum or a namespace is not shared.
+- **top-level writes to $name stay with the binding they write.** A top-level statement that writes a binding stays in the reference module when the binding moves to the shared module or a split chunk.
+- **module state that the reference module keeps for $name is initialized once.** Shared bindings are computed from the statically named route options only (`computeSharedBindings` skips computed keys), so a declaration that one split chunk reads and that the reference module keeps as well (for an export, a top-level call, another binding of the declaration, or a route option under a computed key, pinned above) is not shared: the chunk declares its own copy.
+- **an unreferenced top-level side effect ($name) runs once, with the route module.** Split chunks keep the top-level statements that nothing references, except expression statements that read only imports: dead-code elimination only removes what the split made unreferenced, and `stripUnreferencedTopLevelExpressionStatements` only strips expression statements that name no module-level binding. Cause: `router-utils/src/compiler-helpers.ts`, `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+- **split chunks do not re-export a module-level export \*, which importers of the route file still get.** Same root cause as above: every split chunk keeps the route file's `export * from './lib'`.
+- **an ambient declare const read by the loader and the split component stays a global.** An ambient `declare const` is handled as a module binding.
+- **the initializers of $name run when the route module loads.** The route module drops a declaration that only an exported type alias reads: it loses that reader when the code splitter removes the alias with the other exports, and the initializer then never runs.
+- **the initializer of a declaration only an exported type alias reads runs when a route module compiled for HMR loads.** Same as the type alias row above, in a route module compiled by the route HMR plugin (automatic code splitting off), which runs the same reference compiler.
+- **a split component and its imports leave the route module next to $name.** Page code that only the split component needs stays in the route module, with what it imports, when something there looks like a read of it: a type of the same name (TypeScript keeps types and values in separate namespaces), an overload signature or a second `var` declaration (dead-code elimination keeps them), or an unused function that renders it (one that renders the split component itself works: control in code-splitter-dead-code.test.ts).
+- **the handler of a split loader in object form with $name loads lazily.** Once the object form compiles (pins above), its handler must also end up split: a loader configured to be split that stays in the route module is our limitation, not a pattern the user can change (decision D11).
+- **a split loader in object form keeps $name working, created once.** Same root cause as the object-form pins above.
+- **a component is split with $name.** A route whose options object or factory call is wrapped in a TypeScript cast is not split at all, and a component wrapped in `satisfies` cannot be split: the virtual compiler throws "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: TSSatisfiesExpression".
+- **an option written as $name is split and works.** The virtual compiler accepts only a fixed list of expression types for the value of a split option; any other expression the route module splits makes the build throw "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: MemberExpression" (LogicalExpression, TaggedTemplateExpression, ClassExpression).
+- **a component written as $name is split and renders.** A component option written as a call cannot be split when its printed code does not parse on its own with Babel's default options: the virtual compiler prints the call and parses it again as a script statement, without JSX ("Support for the experimental syntax 'jsx' isn't currently enabled") and without TypeScript ("Unexpected token"). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+- **a component is split when createFileRoute is imported under an alias.** The code splitter only recognises `createFileRoute` under its own name, so a route whose factory is imported under an alias is not split, and nothing says so.
+- **a component is split when createFileRoute has a type argument.** The code splitter only compiles files whose code matches `createFileRoute(`, so a route whose factory call has a type argument (`createFileRoute<'/'>('/')`) is left as is, and nothing says so.
+- **route options returned by a call are split or reported.** Route options returned by a call (`createFileRoute('/')( makeOptions())`) are neither split nor reported.
+- **each of two file routes of one module renders its own component, or the module is reported.** A route file that creates two file routes compiles both routes' split options into the same chunk names, so one route renders the other's component, silently.
+- **a split chunk holds only what its option needs, not the other exports of the route file.** A split chunk keeps every exported `function`, `class` and `export default function` declaration of the route file, with the imports they use, whether its option reads them or not (`compilers.ts`, the virtual compiler keeps exported declarations). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+- **split chunks do not re-export or declare the re-exports and default class of the route file.** Same root cause as above, for re-exports and a default-exported class: every split chunk re-exports them or declares the class again.
+- **a module without JSX does not import the classic factory ($name).** The route module keeps importing the classic JSX factory its pragma names (and the chunk the fragment factory) after the JSX that compiles to it moved to a split chunk (D5 family).
+- **a component declared by an array destructuring of a call shared with the errorComponent renders.** A split option that names a binding declared by an array destructuring cannot be split: the virtual compiler throws "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: VariableDeclarator".
+- **a route file binding named $name keeps its value.** The code splitter declares fixed names in the modules it emits (`SplitComponent`, `SplitLoader`) without checking that the route file does not use them.
+- **groupings declared in a module-level constant are honoured.** `codeSplitGroupings` must be written inline; a module-level constant holding the groupings is refused ("You must provide an array of arrays for the codeSplitGroupings").
+- **module state a method option shares with a split option is created once.** Shared bindings are computed from route options written as `key: value` only, so a binding that an option written as a method (kept in the route module) and a split option both read is not shared: the split chunk declares its own copy.
+- **a destructuring whose sibling reads Route keeps one cache for the loader and the component.** Bindings that depend on `Route` are never shared (`removeBindingsDependingOnRoute`), and a destructuring is never split across modules, so a `Map` declared next to a binding that reads `Route` is created by the route module and again by the chunk that reads it.
+- **a component read from $name renders.** A split option that is a global (no declaration in the module) or an ambient `declare const` is exported from the chunk under a name the chunk never declares ("Export '...' is not defined"), or the export is erased with the `declare`.
+- **a split component renders through the factory of a classic JSX pragma.** Dead-code elimination does not count a classic JSX pragma (`/** @jsx jsx */`) as a use of the factory it names, so a chunk whose only use of the factory is its JSX drops the factory import.
+- **a split component renders through $name.** Same root cause as above, for a chunk with only fragments (the @jsxFrag factory too) and a pragma written with two spaces.
+- **a factory the route module creates and the loader reads is created once for the split component ($name).** The shared-binding analysis does not count the JSX of a split option as a read of the classic JSX factory it compiles to, so a factory that the route module creates and the loader reads is not shared with the split component: the chunk drops it (same root cause as the pin above), and keeping it in the chunk without sharing it creates it again there.
+- **an exported component ($name) that is the only split candidate is split or reported as not code-split.** The "will not be code-split" warning is only reported when the code splitter changes the route module.
+- **a dev server reports an exported component it leaves unsplit once per file, naming the file and the option.** The warning names the file and the exported binding (`Page`), not the route option (same bug as code-splitter-imports-exports.test.ts "are reported once, naming the file and the option, when not code-split").
+- **an exported function that reads Route is the one the split component calls.** The entry's `useTitle` and the one the split component calls are two functions: a binding that reads `Route` is never shared (`removeBindingsDependingOnRoute`), so the chunk declares a copy of the exported function.
+- **a split component reads the route the route module exports through export { Route }.** A split component that reads a `Route` declared with `const` and exported later (`export { Route }`) gets a chunk that creates the route again instead of importing it from the route module.
+- **a split option renders the default-exported component other modules import.** A route whose component is a default-exported function (which stays in the route module) that another split option renders cannot be compiled: the code splitter throws "Duplicate declaration \"Bar\"".
+- **a split component renders the exported component of another option that reads Route ($name).** The code splitter deletes the exported declaration of an option's component from every chunk, so a split component that renders the exported component of another option, which reads `Route`, renders an undeclared binding ("NotFound is not defined").
+- **a default-exported function the loader and the split component call works on one state.** A default-exported function declaration that the loader and a split component both call cannot be compiled: Babel throws "Duplicate declaration" for it.
+- **a split loader exported through an export list keeps working.** A split loader that the route file also exports through an export list (`export { load }`) loses its declaration in the route module: "Export 'load' is not defined".
+- **an exported errorComponent named by the option is split, or reported naming the file and the option.** When it leaves the exported component unsplit, the compiler's warning names the file and the export (`PostErrorComponent`), never the route option (J2.8: file and option).
+- **an exported errorComponent written as `%s` is the instance its importers get.** An exported component named by a split option is only recognised as an export when the option is a bare identifier. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+- **a decorator after `export` compiles.** The code splitter rejects an ES decorator after `export` (`export @dec class`, valid since TypeScript 5.0): "Decorators must be placed before the export keyword".
+- **a class with a parameter decorator that the split component uses compiles into parseable modules.** The code splitter cannot parse a constructor parameter decorator (TypeScript `experimentalDecorators`, as dependency injection libraries use them) and fails the build.
+- **a type-only import re-exported as `export { Settings }` is erased (%s).** A type-only import re-exported without `type` (`export { Settings }`, which TypeScript accepts unless verbatimModuleSyntax is on) loses its import in the route module and the split chunks, which keep the export that the TypeScript transform can then no longer erase.
+- **split chunks do not import what only $name reads.** A value import that only types read (TypeScript erases it) is copied into every split chunk when the types that read it stay in the route module.
+- **a namespace the split component reads keeps its body.** The split chunk declares a namespace the split component reads without its body.
+- **an asserted update operand keeps its parentheses in a split component.** The split chunk prints a type assertion used as an update target without its parentheses (`count as number++`), which does not parse.
+- **an asserted conditional test keeps its parentheses in a split component.** The split chunk prints a type assertion that is the test of a conditional whose branch starts with a unary minus without its parentheses (`a as any ? -x : y`), which does not parse (`any ? -x` reads as the start of a conditional type). Cause: `router-utils/src/ast.ts`.
+- **an overloaded function the route module and a split loader share keeps working.** The overload signatures of a function that the route module and a split chunk share stay in both modules, next to the import of the shared function, and the TypeScript transform then takes them for the binding's declaration and drops the import (dead-code elimination never removes overload signatures).
+- **a split component that $name reads renders from both.** When a route option names a binding that the code splitter moves into a chunk, the splitter deletes the binding's declaration from the route module (`removeIdentifierLiteral`), even when other code there still reads it.
+- **a split component renders through a function $name.** Same root cause as above, for a function that module-level code keeps reachable: it renders the split component, whose declaration the route module lost.
+- **a component read by a split and an unsplit option renders from both.** Same root cause as above, for an unsplit option that names the split component.
+- **an unsplit option that reads the split component with typeof sees a function.** Same root cause as above, for an unsplit option that reads the split component (which reads `Route`, so it moves to its chunk) with `typeof`.
+- **a split component that a top-level call reads renders from both.** Same root cause as above, for a top-level call that reads the split component.
+- **an imported split component that head() reads renders, and head() reads it.** When a split option names an imported binding, the code splitter deletes its import specifier from the route module (`removeIdentifierLiteral` removes the binding without checking for other reads), then the emptied import, even when other code there still reads it: an unsplit option, an exported function or anything else. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+- **an imported split errorComponent that an exported component renders works for an importer.** Same root cause as above, for an exported component that renders the imported split one, used by another module of the app (ruling P1: through a real importer, not the export list).
+- **an imported pendingComponent split by custom groupings renders, and an unsplit option renders it.** Same root cause as above, for a pendingComponent that custom groupings split and an unsplit errorComponent renders.
+- **a class component declared in the route file renders (exported: $exported).** A route option that names a class cannot be split: the virtual compiler throws "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: ClassDeclaration".
+- **a class component and the imports of its static fields leave the route module.** Same root cause as above.
+- **a side-effect import of the split component's module runs when the route module loads.** When the split component is imported (`import { Page } from './Page'`), the code splitter also removes every bare import of that path from the route module (`removableImportPaths`), including the user's own `import './Page'`.
+- **a server-only option written as a method is removed with its imports (%s).** `deleteNodes` only removes route options written as `key: value` (`ObjectProperty`); a method (`ssr() {}`, `async ssr() {}`, `headers() {}`) is kept, with the imports it uses.
+- **a server-only option given through $name is removed, or the route is refused.** Server-only options whose key is not written literally in the route options (a spread, a computed key, options built by a call) are kept, with their imports, and nothing reports it.
+- **a server-only option of options wrapped in `%s` is removed with its imports.** A route whose options object is wrapped in a TypeScript cast or a `satisfies` (statically visible options, valid TypeScript) keeps its server-only options and their imports on the client.
+- **a local factory shadowing createFileRoute in a route file keeps its own semantics.** In a registered route file, the code splitter treats every call of a function named `createFileRoute` as the route's factory, including a local function shadowing the router's: it splits the options of that call too, so the local factory gets a lazy route component instead of the function it was given (and in a dev server, where route HMR is on, the route module loses that function's declaration and throws "LocalWidget is not defined" when it loads).
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`
+
+- **keep a $name component exported as the route option value.** The code splitter moves a component the route module exports into its chunk and drops its export: a class cannot be split ("Unexpected splitNode type: ClassDeclaration") and loses its `export class`, and an aliased export list (`export { component as View }`) is left without its declaration (known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts "class components" and "a split component that an export alias reads renders from both").
+- **keep exported overloads and their aliases that unsplit and split options call.** The overload signatures of a function that the route module and a split loader share stay next to its import, and the alias loses the binding (known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts "an overloaded function the route module and a split loader share keeps working").
+
+### J2.14/J2.15 Start's router wiring (deleteNodes, client route tree pruning; start-plugin-core)
+
+12 pins.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-route-options.test.ts`
+
+- **a route with only server handlers is not in the client route tree.** Rsbuild: only Start's Vite plugin prunes server-only routes from the client route tree; Rsbuild keeps them (parity is intended). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **a route with only server handlers is not in the client route tree.** Same Rsbuild parity bug, for option keys written as strings and a `Route` exported under an alias. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **a route with server handlers and these options is in the client route tree.** The route generator records only plain, non-computed, non-method option keys (`createFileRouteProps`), so a route with server handlers and only such client options is taken for server-only and pruned from the client route tree. Cause: `router-generator/src/transform/transform.ts`.
+- **the server handler code of the route is not in the client bundle.** Route options wrapped in a cast (`as never`, `as any`, `satisfies`) are not recognised: `deleteNodes` skips them and the generator records no keys, so the server handlers ship to the client. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-manifest.test.ts`
+
+- **the client route tree is the SSR route tree without the server-only subtree.** Rsbuild: the client route tree is not pruned (same parity bug as known-bugs-route-options.test.ts). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compose-imported-options.test.ts`
+
+- **the client build never ships the server handlers of imported route options silently.** The code splitter resolves route options only from an object literal in the route file (`resolveIdentifier`, compilers.ts), so for an imported options object it neither splits nor deletes anything, and says nothing: Start's client build keeps `server.handlers` and ships the helper they read. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compose-project-path.test.ts`
+
+- **the client route tree leaves out the server-only route.** Start's Vite plugin matches the module to serve the client route tree for with `new RegExp(<path of the generated route tree>)` (vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts, `clientTreePlugin.load.filter`), the path unescaped, so under a path with `(`, `)` or `+` the expression never matches the file and the client gets the full tree. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **the client gets the file, not the client route tree.** The same unescaped `new RegExp(<path>)` (above): its `.` before `gen` matches any character, so `src/routeTree-gen.ts` is served the client route tree instead of its own code.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compose-server-only-routes.test.ts`
+
+- **the client route tree leaves out the server-only subtree.** Rsbuild: the server-only subtree stays in the client route tree (parity bug). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **the client route tree keeps the page whose component is spread in.** Vite: the generator misses a spread component, so Start takes the route for server-only and prunes it. Cause: `router-generator/src/transform/transform.ts`.
+- **client-side navigation to a server-only route finds nothing.** Rsbuild: the server-only route is in the client route tree, so navigation finds a route without a page.
+- **client-side navigation reaches the page whose component is spread in.** Vite: the spread route is pruned (row above).
+
+### J3 Route HMR (router-plugin)
+
+24 pins.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/build-production-webpack.test.ts`
+
+- **a production %s client bundle without code splitting has no dev-only code.** With automatic code splitting off, the composed router plugin adds the route HMR plugin unless `NODE_ENV` is `production` when the plugin is created (`router-composed-plugin.ts`), instead of following the bundler's mode; webpack and Rspack set `NODE_ENV` only inside the bundle. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/router-composed-plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/build-production.test.ts`
+
+- **a production react client bundle without code splitting has no dev-only code (vite).** Same root cause as the pins below, on Vite: the route HMR plugin has no `apply: 'serve'` and follows `NODE_ENV` at plugin creation. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/router-composed-plugin.ts`, `router-plugin/src/core/router-hmr-plugin.ts`.
+- **a production %s client bundle without code splitting has no dev-only code.** With automatic code splitting off, the composed router plugin adds the route HMR plugin unless `NODE_ENV` is `production` when the plugin is created, instead of following the bundler's mode. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/router-composed-plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-route-hmr-components.test.ts`
+
+- **satisfies.** Inline component options that are not plain functions (`memo(...)`, `forwardRef(...)`, method shorthand, a function wrapped in a TypeScript `as` / `satisfies`) are neither hoisted nor registered for React Refresh, nor is the function they wrap; route HMR keeps the previous component for React Refresh to patch, which it cannot.
+- **vite: an edit of a split component declared lowercase as $name shows in place.** A lowercase split component declared as a variable keeps its name in its split chunk, and React Refresh registers PascalCase names only (a lowercase `function` declaration is renamed, a variable is not); route HMR keeps the lazy component for React Refresh to patch, which it cannot.
+- **vite: a lowercase function component that is also the unsplit pendingComponent renders, and an edit shows in place.** React HMR renames a lowercase `function` component in its split chunk, also when the component is the unsplit `pendingComponent` too, so the chunk exports a binding nothing declares (the in-process pin "a lowercase function component that is also the unsplit pendingComponent renders as both", known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts).
+- **vite: a split component exported by an export list renders, and an edit shows in place.** With React HMR, the code splitter moves a component exported by an export list (`export { page }`) into its chunk and leaves the export list in the route module (the in-process pin "a component exported by an export list renders for a module importing it and as the route component", known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts).
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts`
+
+- **$bundler: an edit of a split $target route shows in place, keeping the split component.** Route HMR keeps the previous split components only for React: for Solid and Vue, the route module creates a new lazy component on every update and `handleRouteUpdate` keeps no component option (`getFrameworkHmrCompilerPlugins` returns no plugin and the kept component keys are empty for other targets); in Vite, the route module is not an HMR boundary either (its accept call is on an alias), so the page reloads.
+- **vite: an edit of an unsplit Vue route shows in place.** The Vite route HMR code calls `accept` on a local alias (`const hot = import.meta.hot`), and Vite only marks a module self-accepting when its code contains a literal `import.meta.hot.accept(`.
+- **rsbuild: an edit of an unsplit Solid route shows its new component in place.** On Rsbuild, an edit of an unsplit Solid route file (the route HMR plugin alone) shows its new loader data but keeps rendering the old component. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/hmr/webpack-adapter.ts`.
+- **%s: an edit of a route a helper function creates shows its new component, reloading only when the file is reported (autoCodeSplitting: false).** A route a helper function of the route file creates (`export const Route = makeRoute()`) edited without automatic code splitting (the route HMR plugin alone) shows its new loader data but keeps rendering the old inline component, and nothing warns: the route HMR code keeps the previous component for React Refresh to patch, but the component inside the helper is neither hoisted nor registered.
+- **vite: an edit of a React .ts route module shows its new loader data in place (autoCodeSplitting: %s).** Same root cause as the pin above, for a React route file without JSX (`.ts`): React Refresh registers no component in it, so it is not a boundary either.
+- **vite: an edit of a route component in an app without @vitejs/plugin-react shows in place (autoCodeSplitting: %s).** Same root cause, for a React app without `@vitejs/plugin-react` (Vite compiles the JSX itself; nothing registers React Refresh boundaries): the route module's own accept call is on an alias, so the page reloads on every edit.
+- **renaming the route component shows the renamed component in place (autoCodeSplitting: %s).** `handleRouteUpdate` keeps the previous component options for React Refresh to patch, also when the edit renamed the component (a new Refresh family that is never patched): the page keeps the old component until a reload. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/hmr/handle-route-update.ts`.
+- **rsbuild: an edit of a split loader (codeSplitGroupings: %s) shows its data in place.** On Rsbuild (Rspack), an edit that only changes a loader split from the route module (`codeSplitGroupings` with `loader` in a chunk) never reaches the page: the route module's code is unchanged, so Rspack does not run it again and the route HMR code (`webpack-adapter.ts`, in the route module only) never refreshes the route; the split loader module accepts no update of its own. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/hmr/webpack-adapter.ts`.
+- **vite: an edit that removes a split option the page loaded applies in place without errors.** An edit that removes a split component option (here `errorComponent`, which the page had loaded) leaves its split module in Vite's module graph; Vite updates it with the rest of the route file, the code splitter serves it without any export or import, and `@vitejs/plugin-react` compiles that module's JSX as CommonJS (`require("react/jsx-dev-runtime")`).
+- **rsbuild without React Refresh: an edit of the route component shows in place (autoCodeSplitting: %s).** `handleRouteUpdate` keeps the previous component options for React Refresh to patch in place, also when no React Refresh runtime is installed (an Rsbuild React app with `pluginReact({ fastRefresh: false })`, or webpack / Rspack without a refresh plugin, like the webpack quickstart example with the default `addHmr`), so the new component never renders.
+- **a route exported under another local name is hot-updated in place.** The injected HMR code reads the route through the identifier `Route`, but a route may be declared under another name and exported as `Route` (`export { MyRoute as Route }`).
+- **vite: an inline pending component hoisted before a renamed lowercase component renders it.** React HMR hoists inline component options into declarations it inserts after visiting every option, and renames a lowercase component passed to a later option.
+
+#### `router-plugin/tests/known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts`
+
+- **route options in a variable ($name) evaluate to a route with a component.** When the route options are passed through a variable, the HMR transforms replace `component` in the options object with a generated binding declared after the object that reads it.
+- **a user binding named hot ($name) does not collide with the injected HMR code.** Our `react-refresh-ignored-route-exports` compiler plugin injects a top-level `const hot = import.meta.hot` that collides with a user's top-level `hot` binding (compile error `Duplicate declaration "hot"`).
+- **a lowercase function component split into two chunks renders with the module state they share.** React HMR renames a lowercase `function` component in its split chunk even when the code splitter moved the component to the shared module, so the chunk exports `SplitComponent`, which nothing declares.
+- **a lowercase function component that is also the unsplit pendingComponent renders as both.** Same root cause as the pin above, for a lowercase component that the split `component` and the unsplit `pendingComponent` share.
+- **a component exported by an export list renders for a module importing it and as the route component.** With React HMR, the code splitter moves a component exported by an export list (`export { page }`) into its chunk and leaves the export list in the route module (same root cause as known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts "a split component that an export list reads renders from both").
+
+### J4 Start environment separation (start-plugin-core start-compiler; RSC provider in react-start-rsc)
+
+76 pins.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/createServerFn/caller-dead-code.test.ts`
+
+- **when client code uses its name in $name.** These TypeScript positions named like the import (an enum member, an overload signature parameter, a constructor parameter property) count as references to it, so the callers keep the server-only import after the handler that read it is gone.
+- **when the validator link is wrapped in a $name expression.** A `.validator()` link wrapped in `satisfies` / `as` is not stripped from the callers.
+- **when the validator link is on a builder stored in a variable ($name).** A `.validator()` link on a builder stored in a variable is not stripped from the callers: the client follows the handler's chain only up to the identifier (`withPost.handler(...)`), so the variable's declaration keeps its validator. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateServerFn.ts`.
+- **callers drop a handler-only function that declares a local of its own name.** A function whose body declares a local of the function's own name (`function session() { const session = ... }`) counts as used by that local, so the callers keep it, and the server-only import it reads, after the handler that called it is gone.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/createServerFn/createServerFn.test.ts`
+
+- **a handler called with ${name} is extracted.** A module is only compiled when its text matches `createServerFn` or `.handler(`, so with the builder imported from another module, a comment between the dot and `handler` hides the server fn. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/createServerFn/declaration-sites.test.ts`
+
+- **a server fn declared in $name never ships its nested handler to the client.** Dependency-free nested handlers remain in successful client output.
+- **with %s imported, a server fn wrapped in two calls works like an unwrapped one.** A server fn passed through calls of a user helper (`wrap(wrap(...))`, e.g. helpers registering or typing it) is not extracted: the compiler rejects it ("must be assigned to a variable"), although the server fn itself initializes a top-level variable.
+- **supports a server fn in $name.** A server fn nested in a function whose handler reads no local of it is left untransformed, rejected or extracted into an invalid provider (D13: support it like a top-level one).
+- **with %s imported, supports a server fn in the handler of another server fn.** A server fn created in the handler of another one is supported.
+- **with %s imported, supports server fns of the same name in two functions.** Two functions of a module each declare a server fn under the same local name; each runs its own handler.
+- **a server fn created through an optional call chain compiles like a plain chain or is rejected.** `.handler()` called through an optional chain (`createServerFn()?.handler(...)`) is not recognised: the module is left untransformed.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/createServerFn/handler-scope.test.ts`
+
+- **the handler can be a createIsomorphicFn call.** When the handler passed to `.handler()` is a `createIsomorphicFn()` chain, the chain is compiled first and the caller is never rewritten into an RPC (same cause as the createServerOnlyFn handler pin in known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts).
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`
+
+- **client: a module importing an edited factory module through a re-export ($name) loads no server code.** On a factory module edit, the client environment of the Start compiler's Vite plugin invalidates only the direct importers of the module; the walk through transitive importers runs for server environments only (vite/start-compiler-plugin/plugin.ts `invalidateCompilerState`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-compiler-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **SSR: a module importing an edited factory module through a re-export ($name) gets a server fn.** Same as the client pin above, in the SSR environment: on a factory module edit, the server environments do walk the transitive importers (`getTransitiveImporters`), but only invalidate the compiler's state and the server-fn lookup modules of the importers it finds; Vite's module nodes of the importers two or more imports away are only soft-invalidated, and their previous transform is served.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-start-compiler-dev.test.ts`
+
+- **transforms a client module with a server fn and a top-level call of a pre-bundled dependency.** Next to a server fn, a top-level `const x = f()` may be a renamed or re-exported Start factory, so in dev the client compiler loads the module of `f` through the client environment, from inside the transform.
+- **calls a server fn id on a fresh dev server that has not compiled its module.** When a server fn id is not registered yet, the dev validator (`validate-server-fn-id`) transforms the source file under `?server-fn-module-lookup`, the one id the compiling transform excludes, so the id is never registered and the validator rejects it.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`
+
+- **client: the server-only module of a class only server code uses is not bundled.** The client output keeps a class only server code uses, with its server-only import: the server-only module's top-level code is bundled and runs in the browser.
+- **client: a server-only module a type mentions is not bundled with verbatimModuleSyntax.** The client output keeps the server-only import that a `typeof` type query still mentions (compiler pin "client: a server-only import last mentioned by a type alias ..." above); with `verbatimModuleSyntax`, Vite's TypeScript transform keeps it.
+- **SSR: a server fn module is initialised once and shares its state with SSR code.** With SSR as the server fn provider, the SSR caller module and the provider module (`?tss-serverfn-split`) are two module instances of the same file in the SSR bundle, and the provider repeats the file's top-level code (exports-and-directives.test.ts "side-effect imports and top-level statements stay in every output" asserts this).
+- **SSR: a server fn only server code references is not callable over HTTP.** With SSR as the provider, the production resolver lists every server fn the builds found and never checks the caller's origin (`includeClientReferencedCheck` is off, and the flag it would check is true for every SSR-caller compile, handleCreateServerFn.ts `isClientReferenced`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateServerFn.ts`.
+- **is callable, the app files written %s.** Vite: the production server fn resolver is generated before the SSR build has found a server fn that only another server fn's handler calls, so calling it throws "Server function info not found" (#7213).
+- **a server fn created by a library function: the handler is not in the client bundle, or the build fails clearly.** A library function that creates server fns for its users (`createLoggedServerFn(handler)`) is never seen as a server fn in the user's module, so the handler ships to the client, silently.
+- **a build run from another directory: a library's server fn runs in the SSR build.** Start's Vite plugin looks for the Start libraries it bundles in SSR (`crawlFrameworkPkgs`: dependencies with a peer dependency on Start) in the package.json of the working directory (`root: process.cwd()`), not of Vite's root, which the plugin uses for its own root a few lines above. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/plugin.ts`.
+- **a module with a middleware and an isomorphic fn builds, and its middleware runs on the server.** In the SSR build, compiling a module with an isomorphic fn makes the Start compiler resolve the module's `createMiddleware` import (the server lookup does not know that factory). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-call-shapes.test.ts`
+
+- **$name: the client bundle holds no server code and the shape works, or the build fails at the call.** Chain methods called through a computed member (`builder['handler'](...)`, `['server'](...)`), a server-only fn whose result is member-called (`.bind(null)`), and a server fn in a top-level block (with createServerFn the only factory imported) are left untransformed by the client compiler (in-process pins in ../known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts), and the build succeeds.
+- **$name are recognised: the client bundle holds no server code and the shape works.** The bundler plugins choose the modules the Start compiler transforms by their text (a factory name, or `.handler(`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-compiler-plugin/plugin.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-determinism.test.ts`
+
+- **fresh builds keep the function-to-id mapping when discovery order reverses.** Collision suffixes follow discovery order across fresh builds: at the same root, with the server function modules unchanged, the function-to-id mapping changes.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-env-separation.test.ts`
+
+- **$construct: its server code is not in the client bundle, and runs in the SSR build.** A `.validator()` link on a builder stored in a variable is not stripped from the client (server fn and middleware): the chain walk stops at the identifier. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `router-utils/src/ast.ts`.
+- **an isomorphic fn whose $name is stored in a variable runs its implementation in each build.** An isomorphic fn whose first link is stored in a variable loses that link's implementation in its environment's build (no-op, returns undefined). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateIsomorphicFn.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-source-maps.test.ts`
+
+- **rsbuild build: client: a throw in a split route component maps to its line in the route file ($name).** The router plugin's code splitter returns a source map of each route file it compiles, but unplugin's Rspack transform loader drops it when no earlier loader passed one in (`map == null ? map : res.map || map` in unplugin/dist/rspack/loaders/transform.mjs), so Rsbuild maps the chunk to the code splitter's output. Cause: unplugin `dist/{webpack,rspack}/loaders/transform.mjs` (upstream).
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-user-code.test.ts`
+
+- **the decorated class only a server fn handler uses is not in the client bundle.** A class only a server fn handler uses stays in the client output (dead-code elimination never removes class declarations; same root cause as the pins "client: a class used by a server fn handler does not load its server-only import" and "client: the server-only module of a class only server code uses is not bundled").
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-warnings.test.ts`
+
+- **a compiler warning reaches the user once, naming the module, from the environment that compiled it.** The Rsbuild compiler host warns through the transform context's `emitWarning` (rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts `warnTransformContext`), which Rsbuild's `api.transform` context does not have (it has no warning API), so the optional call does nothing. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts`.
+- **Rsbuild dev: a compiler warning reaches the user once, naming the module.** Same as the Rsbuild build pin above: the Rsbuild compiler host warns through the transform context's `emitWarning`, which Rsbuild's `api.transform` context does not have. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compiler-dev-server.test.ts`
+
+- **a module whose factory becomes a server fn builder: the client bundle drops the handler.** In full-bundle dev, an edit of a module that turns what another module imports into a server fn builder does not recompile the importer: the dev engine re-bundles the edited module only, and the Start compiler's bundledDev `watchChange` forgets the edited module alone, so the importer keeps the output compiled against the old `base`, handler and server-only imports included.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compose-server-fn-route.test.ts`
+
+- **the server runs the route module once.** With SSR as the provider, the SSR bundle holds the route module twice (SSR module and server fn provider module of the same file), so its top-level code runs twice.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`
+
+- **export \* $name do not poison the build-mode export cache.** Build-mode export lookups are cached per module, but parallel `export *` branches share one visited set, so in a diamond or a cycle a module that re-exports the builder is cached as "not found".
+- **client builds compile $name finished or called in another module.** Middleware, isomorphic and env-only fns are detected by the `createMiddleware` / `createIsomorphicFn` / `createServerOnlyFn` text, so a module that only finishes a builder imported from another module, or calls a factory re-exported or aliased under another name, is never compiled.
+- **client builds compile a builder read from a namespace import.** A server fn builder read as a member of a namespace import (`F.authed.handler`) is not resolved, unlike the same builder imported by name.
+- **client builds compile factories of a re-exported Start namespace.** A namespace of the Start package re-exported by a project module (`export * as Start from '@tanstack/react-start'`) is not resolved.
+- **client builds compile a builder returned by a function of $name.** The builder of a `.handler()` chain is resolved through identifiers and member expressions only, so a builder returned by a function call (`authed().handler(...)`) is not traced.
+- **client builds compile a server fn whose builder passes through a helper function.** Same family as above, for a builder the user passes through a helper function (`applyStep(createServerFn().validator(schema))`): the `.handler()` chain is not traced through the call, so the module is left untransformed.
+- **each output keeps its implementation of an isomorphic fn whose chain passes through a helper function.** Same family, for an isomorphic fn whose chain passes through a helper function (`withBuilder(createIsomorphicFn().server(f)).client(g)`): the inner `createIsomorphicFn().server(f)` is compiled on its own into a plain function, so `.client(g)` is then called on that function.
+- **client: a createServerOnlyFn called through $name is compiled.** Env-only factories nested in other code are found by the factory's exported name (`isNestedDirectCallCandidate`), so a renamed import or a local alias is only compiled as a top-level variable initializer.
+- **$name: the client holds no server code, or the module is rejected at the call.** Chain methods are only recognised when called through a static member (`.handler(...)`, `.server(...)`), and a call whose result is member-called (`createServerOnlyFn(...).bind(null)`) is taken for the inner call of a method chain and never visited as a candidate itself: each module below is left untransformed on every output.
+- **a createServerOnlyFn local alias called in a top-level block works in each environment, or is rejected at the call.** Env-only factories nested in other code are found by the factory's exported name (`isNestedDirectCallCandidate`), so a local alias of createServerOnlyFn called in a top-level block is neither compiled nor rejected.
+- **a createServerFn in $name does not ship its handler to the client.** With createServerFn the only factory imported, only top-level variable declarations are visited, so a server fn elsewhere is neither extracted nor rejected; with another factory imported, a nested declarator is extracted but its provider exports an undeclared handler.
+- **with another Start factory imported, a server fn in $name works or is rejected at the call.** Next to another Start factory, a server fn that is not assigned to a variable (an object property, a class field, a default export, an assignment, a call argument, a JSX attribute, a conditional, a destructuring) is rejected with a plain `Error` ("createServerFn must be assigned to a variable!") that carries no position: the user is told the file (by the bundler) but not where in it. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateServerFn.ts`.
+- **with %s imported, a nested server fn whose handler reads a local of its function is supported or rejected naming the capture.** Same cause as above; a server fn nested in a function whose handler reads a local of that function (here `id`) cannot run on its own in the provider, and is neither supported nor rejected.
+- **distinct re-export aliases of two factories keep their own kind.** The export a re-export forwards is looked up by its local name (`wrap`) only, so two re-exports of different modules' `wrap` under distinct names resolve to the same factory.
+- **%s: parameters and locals shadowing the factories are left alone next to a compiled factory call.** Same lookup-by-local-name bug as the row above, for parameters and locals shadowing the factories next to a compiled factory call.
+- **a user binding named %s does not collide with generated code.** Generated imports and handler names are not made unique against user bindings, so a user binding named like one of them collides with it.
+- **a server fn named opts runs on the server.** The provider calls each server fn from a generated wrapper, `opts => fn.__executeServer(opts)`, whose `opts` parameter shadows a server fn named `opts`.
+- **%s: a createServerOnlyFn handler still produces an RPC caller.** When the handler passed to `.handler()` is a `createServerOnlyFn()` call, the inner call is compiled first and the caller is never rewritten into an RPC.
+- **$output: hook calls read only by the removed implementation still run.** Removing the other environment's implementation of an env function declared in a hook leaves the locals only that implementation read unreferenced, and dead-code elimination (babel-dead-code-elimination, which removes newly unreferenced bindings) deletes their declarators, hook calls included.
+- **client: the factory of a classic JSX pragma stays imported.** Dead-code elimination does not count a classic JSX pragma (`/** @jsx h */`) as a use of the factory it names, so the factory import is removed when no other code reads it (the generated imports also land above the pragma comment, where Oxc no longer reads it).
+- **ssr: a module with a classic JSX runtime pragma keeps its React import.** Same family as the pin above: under a classic JSX runtime pragma (`/** @jsxRuntime classic */`, whose JSX reads `React`), the SSR output removes the `<ClientOnly>` children, then dead-code elimination drops `import * as React`, which only the JSX still reads. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleClientOnlyJSX.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`.
+- **client and SSR: a type-only import re-exported as `export { Settings }` is erased (%s).** A type-only import re-exported without `type` (`export { Settings }`, which TypeScript accepts unless verbatimModuleSyntax is on) loses its import in the client and SSR outputs, which keep the export that the TypeScript transform can then no longer erase.
+- **client: $name does not load its server-only import.** Dead-code elimination (babel-dead-code-elimination) removes unreferenced functions and variables but never class declarations, TS enums, namespaces, overloaded functions or redeclared `var`s, so such a declaration that only server code used keeps its server-only import.
+- **client: a server-only import last mentioned by a type alias is not loaded with verbatimModuleSyntax.** Dead-code elimination counts a `typeof auth` type query in a top-level type alias as a use of the `auth` import, so a server-only import that the handler read and that such a type still mentions stays a value import in the client output.
+- **client: a validator schema that a type alias reads with typeof is not loaded.** Same family as above, for a module-level declaration: a validator schema that a type alias also reads (`z.infer<typeof themeValidator>`) stays in the client output, with what its initializer imports, although types read no value at runtime. Cause: `router-utils/src/ast.ts`.
+- **ssr: a declaration a client-only fn reads and a type alias reads with typeof is not loaded.** Same root cause as the pin above, mirrored on the server: a module-level declaration that only a client-only implementation and a `typeof` type query read stays in the SSR output, with its initializer and imports.
+- **a <script lang="ts"> block is parsed as TypeScript.** The parser is chosen from the module id without its query, so the `<script lang="ts">` block of a Vue SFC, which @vitejs/plugin-vue 6 serves in builds as `Page.vue?vue&type=script&lang.ts` (genScriptCode, attrsToQuery), is parsed as TSX.
+- **a CommonJS dependency with $name compiles and keeps its meaning.** A module matching a detection pattern (`.handler(`) is parsed as strict ESM.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-factories.test.ts`
+
+- **the client strips a validator link$middleware wrapped in $name.** A `.validator()` link wrapped in `satisfies` / `as` is not recognised as a link of the middleware chain on the client, so it is not stripped.
+- **the client strips a validator link of a builder stored in a variable.** A `.validator()` link of a middleware builder stored in a variable is not stripped on the client: the chain walk from `base.server(...)` stops at the identifier, so the variable's declaration keeps its validator (its `.server()` link is stripped, the control above). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateMiddleware.ts`.
+- **each output keeps its implementation of an isomorphic fn whose $name is stored in a variable.** An isomorphic fn whose first link is stored in a variable (`const base = createIsomorphicFn().server(...)`, then `export const getEnv = base.client(...)`) loses that link's implementation: each call is compiled on its own, the chain walk from `base.client(...)` stops at the identifier, so the output of the stored link's environment gets a no-op. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateIsomorphicFn.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`.
+- **each output keeps its implementation of an isomorphic fn with a wrapped chain link: %s.** An isomorphic chain link wrapped in `satisfies` / `as` is not followed: the implementation of the wrapped link is lost.
+- **each output keeps its implementation of $shape with the callee in $name.** A factory callee wrapped in `as any` is not resolved, so the call is left untransformed.
+- **the provider compiles env-specific functions inside a server fn handler.** The provider leaves env-specific functions declared inside a server fn handler uncompiled, with the client-only module they read still imported.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-import-forms.test.ts`
+
+- **$name alone in its module: the other environment neither loads nor runs the implementation.** The bundler plugins choose the modules the Start compiler transforms by their text (a factory name such as `createServerOnlyFn`, or `.handler(`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-compiler-plugin/plugin.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts`.
+- **through a namespace member.** `<ClientOnly>` is detected by the `<ClientOnly` / imported `ClientOnly` text, so a boundary written as a member of a namespace import (`<Router.ClientOnly>`) is never compiled.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-jsx-pragma.test.ts`
+
+- **%s: inserted server function imports stay below the @jsxImportSource pragma.** The server fn runtime import (RPC or `createServerRpc`) is inserted above the pragma comment that leads the file.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-preserves-user-code.test.ts`
+
+- **keeps the parentheses of asserted update operands.** The client output prints an asserted update operand without its parentheses (`count as number++`).
+- **keeps the parentheses of an asserted conditional test.** The client output prints a type assertion that is the test of a conditional whose branch starts with a unary minus without its parentheses (`a as any ? -x : y`), which does not parse (`any ? -x` reads as the start of a conditional type). Cause: `router-utils/src/ast.ts`.
+
+#### `react-start-rsc/tests/integration/rsc-start-client-module.test.ts`
+
+- **a server function of a 'use client' module runs on the server.** The provider module (`?tss-serverfn-split`) keeps the `'use client'` directive of its source module, so the RSC bundler turns the provider's exports into client references and the handler is not there to run.
+
+#### `react-start-rsc/tests/integration/rsc-start-private.test.ts`
+
+- **a server function only server code calls is not callable from the browser.** A server-environment caller reports every server fn it compiles as client-referenced (handleCreateServerFn.ts `isClientReferenced`), so the resolver's client-origin check never refuses anything with a separate provider. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateServerFn.ts`.
+
+### J5 Deferred hydration `<Hydrate>` (start-plugin-core)
+
+37 pins.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts`
+
+- **client: a hook called through a namespace is rejected with the fix.** Hook calls are only detected when the callee is a bare identifier, so `React.useId()` in the children moves into the chunk component instead of being rejected (SPEC J5.5).
+- **client: children reading $name are rejected with the fix.** The rejection of `this` and `super` captures names no fix: the docs' "Wrap the UI in a function component or use split={false}" is missing from the error (function children and hook calls name theirs).
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/hydrate-split-modules.test.ts`
+
+- **client: the children prop ($name) of a self-closing boundary is deferred.** `<Hydrate children={…} />` defers its children like JSX children: the parent does not need their modules before the chunk loads.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/hydrate-build-cases.ts`
+
+- **boundaries in split route options that another option reads hydrate in the boundaries the server renders.** A split component with a boundary that another route option reads (`head` reads `Page.name`) goes to a module the route module and the chunk share, without the lazy component of its boundary, which stays in the chunk: the shared module reads an undeclared name (the build harness rejects the client output). Cause: `router-utils/src/compiler-helpers.ts`.
+- **an unused exported component with a boundary is not in the client.** The client parent declares the lazy component of each boundary with a module-level call (`lazyRouteComponent(() => import(...))`) that bundlers must keep (it is not marked pure), so the children of an unused exported component still ship: the call stays in the eager code, and its chunk is emitted. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
+- **an export only the children use, initialized by a call, is initialized once and hydrates.** An initializer with side effects may keep the export in the eager code (no warning is required), but it must run once, and the children must render the one `Widget` it made, while the boundary's own children still load lazily. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/hydrate-pages-react.ts`
+
+- **a namespace-imported Start.Hydrate loads its children when it hydrates.** A namespace member `<Start.Hydrate>` is a boundary like a named import, so its children's code loads when it hydrates, not with the page.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/hydrate-pages-solid.ts`
+
+- **a namespace-imported Start.Hydrate loads its children when it hydrates.** A namespace member `<Start.Hydrate>` of `@tanstack/solid-start` is a boundary like a named import.
+- **split children read a context declared in the page module.** The chunk re-declares the module-level bindings its children use instead of using the parent module's (`createContext` runs again there), the Solid twin of known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts "client: the children use the module-level context of the parent module".
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts`
+
+- **a Hydrate inside a fallback does not shift the chunks of later boundaries.** The server and the client number boundaries without the Hydrate inside a `fallback`, but the chunk loader counts it.
+- **client: $name hydrates like the server renders it.** A component that declares a boundary and is rendered inside a boundary (its own, or another one) is copied into the chunk, and compiling the chunk numbers the copy's boundary after the chunk's own index.
+- **client: a local component named Hydrate is left alone.** Hydrate elements are matched by name instead of by binding.
+- **client: children passed through $name render without unused chunks.** The boundary's children are only read from JSX children, never from a `children` prop or spread.
+- **client: a boundary nested in a children prop hydrates with the id the server renders.** Same root cause as above, for a `children` prop that holds another boundary: the client does not compile the JSX of the prop, so the nested boundary hydrates without the id the server renders it with.
+- **client: a text-only child renders like JSX text: $name.** A multi-line text-only child moves into the chunk as a string literal of the raw text, without the line collapsing of JSX text.
+- **client: spaces around a single child on one line render like on the server.** Whitespace-only text around a single child is dropped when the children move into the chunk, although JSX keeps whitespace on the line of the child as text (the server renders it). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
+- **a later boundary keeps its id and its children next to $name.** The Hydrate plugin numbers boundaries after the other Start transforms removed environment-specific code (`<ClientOnly>` children on the server; server fn handlers, `createServerOnlyFn` bodies and isomorphic `.server()` implementations on the client), while the client chunk loader counts the boundaries of the original module. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
+- **client: captured locals named key and ref reach the split children.** Captured locals are passed to the lazy chunk component as props of the same name, so locals named `key` or `ref` become React's `key`/`ref`.
+- **client: the split children render a local component named %s.** A JSX tag is only taken for a read of a local when its name starts with an ASCII capital letter, so a local component named `_Local`, `$Local` or with a non-ASCII first letter is not passed to the chunk.
+- **client: the split children render member-expression tags of $name.** The object of a member-expression tag (`<ui.Home />`, `<Model.Item />`) is not taken for a read of a local. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
+- **client: the split children render a component bound inside them.** A JSX tag naming a binding declared inside the children (`const Icon = icons[id]` in a `.map()` callback) is taken for a capture of the component: the client parent passes `Icon={Icon}` to the chunk, where no `Icon` exists. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
+- **client: property names, method keys and optional members are no reads of a local.** Property names, method keys and optional member names in the children are taken for reads of the local of the same name, which the parent then reads where the boundary renders.
+- **client: the split children read a local enum.** A TypeScript enum declared in the component is not passed to the chunk.
+- **client: split children reading the component's arguments render its props.** Split children reading the component's `arguments` are moved into the chunk component unchanged, where `arguments` are the chunk's own props (`this` and `super` are rejected instead).
+- **client: split children may use the own `this` of $name.** A `this` owned by a function, class or method in the children is rejected, on the client and the server.
+- **client: await in split children is rejected clearly or renders.** Split children containing `await` (async server components) are moved as is into the synchronous chunk component the client compile emits, while the server renders them inline.
+- **client: the children use the module-level $name of the parent module.** The chunk re-declares the module-level bindings the children use instead of using the parent module's instance.
+- **client: an exported declaration the children use has one instance, initialized once.** An exported declaration the children use is copied into the chunk, so its initializer runs again there.
+- **client: split children reading Route $name use the one route.** The client chunk removes the module's `Route` (`removeModuleLevelBindings(ast, new Set(['Route']))`) without importing it from the parent module, so split children reading it reference an undeclared binding.
+- **client: an unexported component named Route that the children render reaches the chunk.** The client chunk takes any module-level binding named `Route` for the route and removes it (the removal of the pins above), even when the module does not export it and it is a plain component.
+- **client: $name that the children rely on reaches the chunk.** Only declarations move into the chunk; the top-level statements that complete them (member assignments, registrations) are dropped.
+- **client: a var declared in a nested block that the children read reaches the chunk.** Module bindings are collected from top-level declarations only (`collectLocalBindingsFromStatement`), so a module-level `var` declared in a nested block is dropped from the chunk.
+- **client: a TypeScript import alias used by the split children is declared in the chunk.** A TypeScript import alias (`import Card = ui.Card`) used only by the split children is not declared in the client chunk.
+- **client: $name used by the children reaches the chunk.** Module-level declarations the children use are only moved into the chunk for some declaration forms and uses: a default-exported function, TypeScript enums and namespaces, and a `let` the children only assign are neither declared in the chunk nor imported from the parent.
+- **client: module-level $name, named like the generated bindings, do not collide.** The chunk keeps the module-level bindings the children name (by name, even when a local shadows them) under their own names, so a binding named like one the compiler generates in the chunk (its export) collides with it.
+- **client: a module with a classic JSX pragma renders through its factory.** Dead-code elimination does not count a classic JSX pragma (`/** @jsx jsx */`) as a use of the factory it names, so the client parent drops the factory import once the children that call it are split (the generated code also lands above the pragma comment, where Oxc no longer reads it).
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-jsx-pragma.test.ts`
+
+- **client: the parent keeps selecting the pragma JSX runtime when the import it sits on $name.** The parent's Hydrate chunk loaders are inserted above the pragma comment that leads the file.
+
+### J6 Import protection (start-plugin-core)
+
+64 pins.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/build-options.test.ts`
+
+- **by default, the server-only marker of a dependency is not checked.** The Vite adapter checks a server-only marker when it resolves the marker import, for any importer, and never applies `excludeFiles` to the marked module (vite/import-protection-plugin/ plugin.ts, marker handling in `resolveId`), so the build fails with a marker violation of `node_modules/db-lib/index.js`.
+- **[] checks the markers of dependencies: a server-only-marked dependency fails the build.** With `excludeFiles: []`, the Rsbuild adapter still skips the marker check of files under `node_modules` (the build succeeds without any report); `excludeFiles` is documented as the files the file-pattern and marker checks skip (guide/import-protection.md), and Vite checks them.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/build.test.ts`
+
+- **a server-only-marked module re-exported by a barrel the client uses other exports of builds without any report.** Same as the pins "a denied module the client bundle drops does not fail the build" (known-bugs.test.ts): the Rsbuild report step walks every module of the module graph, used or not, so the marked module the client bundle drops still fails the build.
+- **with mockAccess $mockAccess, using the mock of $denied is reported as an $severity naming the import.** A mock-mode production build serves self-contained mocks that never report their use, whatever `mockAccess` says ("mock mode always logs"). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/virtualModules.ts`.
+- **%s is mocked, with a warning.** In a build, a violation of a marker (server-only in the client, client-only in the server) only replaces the marker import itself with a mock (`handleViolation` in vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts returns a mock edge for the marker specifier); the marked module keeps its code, and its importers import it. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **allows the import of %s: the build succeeds and the client gets the real module.** `onViolation` runs after the build replaced the denied module with a mock, so returning `false` only silences the report. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
+- **imported by an ignored importer and, further from the entry, another importer: the violation blames the other importer.** The Rsbuild adapter reports a marker violation at the marked module with the shortest import chain from the entry to the marked module (`buildTrace`, import-protection/trace.ts, a BFS to the nearest entry), whichever importer it runs through: here the exempt `src/ignored.ts`, two steps from the entry, while the importer the violation is for, `src/other.ts`, is three steps away. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/trace.ts`.
+- **imported only by an ignored importer does not fail the build.** The Vite adapter reports a marker violation for the marked module itself (`importer` is the module importing the marker) and does not look at which modules import it, so `ignoreImporters` cannot exempt them (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts, marker handling in `resolveId`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **imported only by an ignored importer: the ignored importer gets the real module.** An importer `ignoreImporters` exempts still gets the mock of a server-only-marked module in a mock-mode build: Rsbuild replaces the marked module itself with a mock in its loader, for every importer (the exemption pins of exemptions.test.ts, user ruling 2026-10-17); on Vite the marker violation is not exempt at all (the pin above), and in error mode the build fails.
+- **in mock mode, an ignored importer gets the real module, another importer a safe mock, and only the other importer is reported.** In a mock-mode build, a server-only-marked module imported by an exempt importer and another importer is a mock for both (Rsbuild), or the real module for the other importer (Vite). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/dev-page.test.ts`
+
+- **a denied import of a module the client entry imports is logged.** Dev import protection only logs violations it can reach from the entries it registers, Start's router entry and start entry (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `registerEntries`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`, `react-start/src/client.tsx`.
+- **a client-only import of a module the server entry imports is mocked on the server and logged.** Dev import protection only logs violations it can reach from the entries it registers, Start's router entry and start entry (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `registerEntries`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/dev.test.ts`
+
+- **added by an edit of the importer is logged at its original import or surviving use, with a trace from the entry.** When a module changes, dev import protection drops every import graph edge that points to it (`hotUpdate` → `ImportGraph.invalidate`, import-protection/trace.ts, removes the edges where the file is the target, not only those where it is the importer). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/trace.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **'always' logs a violation again after an edit.** Same as "added by an edit of the importer is logged at the use" above: the edit drops the import graph edges to `src/a.ts`, and the violation found when it is transformed again is discarded as unreachable from Start's router entry.
+- **'once' logs one warning for one import.** In dev, one client import of a denied file is logged twice: once for the import as written (`./secret.server`) and once for the resolved path the dev mock rewrite puts in its place, which Vite resolves again; the dedupe key of `log: 'once'` includes the specifier (`dedupeViolationKey`, import-protection/utils.ts), so the two do not dedupe (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts, transform-cache import loop and `resolveId`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/utils.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **'always' logs one warning for one import each time its module is loaded.** With `log: 'always'`, one client import of a denied file is logged three times when the client loads its module once: twice for the import as written, because import protection finds the same violation both when the import resolves (`resolveId`) and when it checks the module's compiled imports (transform-cache import loop), and 'always' does not dedupe them (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `hasSeen`), plus once for the resolved path (the 'once' pin above). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **importing a denied file, the warning names the .mdx page, located in its original mapped source.** The warning drops original coordinates for an MDX file even though @mdx-js/rollup supplies a source map for its import and use. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/sourceLocation.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/utils.ts`.
+- **importing a denied specifier gets the mock, and the dev server logs a warning naming it.** To give the mock of a denied specifier the named exports its importer imports, import protection reads the importer's code from its own cache of compiled modules, which only has JavaScript and TypeScript files, and otherwise from Vite's `getModuleInfo(importer).code`, which Vite's dev server does not support: it throws "[vite] The "code" property of ModuleInfo is not supported." (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveExportsForDeniedSpecifier`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **returning false allows the import: the client gets the real module.** Dev import protection replaces a denied file with its mock when it resolves (and transforms) the import, before it calls `onViolation`; returning `false` only silences the warning (the dev twin of the build pin "onViolation returning false allows the import of a denied file", build.test.ts).
+- **with behavior "error", an import of a denied file it allows gets the real module.** Same as the pin "returning false allows the import" above, with behavior "error": the denied file is still replaced with its mock.
+- **is mocked when the client loads the importer first.** Import protection decides to mock an import of a server-only-marked module when it resolves the import, and only knows a module is marked once it has transformed it. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **after an edit adds the marker, the violation is logged.** When an edit adds a server-only marker to a module the client already loaded, nothing happens to its importers: import protection only clears its own caches on the edit (`hotUpdate`), and Vite keeps the importers' transforms (a soft invalidation), so their import of the module is never resolved again, where the marker violation would be found (the retroactive marker check of `resolveId`, vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **after an edit adds the marker, the importer gets the mock.** After an edit adds a server-only marker to a module the client already loaded, the importers keep their transform, so the import is never resolved again and gets no mock. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **by default, is not logged, and the client gets the real module.** In dev, the Vite adapter checks the server-only marker a dependency imports when it resolves the marker import, whatever `excludeFiles` says (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts, marker handling in `resolveId`; the build twin is pinned in build-options.test.ts), and then reads the importer's code from Vite's `getModuleInfo(importer).code`, which the dev server does not support: loading the dependency throws "[vite] The "code" property of ModuleInfo is not supported." Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **with excludeFiles: [], is logged, and the client gets a safe mock.** In Vite dev, a client import of a dependency that marks itself server-only (not pre-bundled) fails with "The \"code\" property of ModuleInfo is not supported" instead of being logged and mocked. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **an SSR import of a .client file: with mockAccess $mockAccess, using the mock is reported.** The mock of a violation in a server environment is always the silent one, whatever `mockAccess` says. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/virtualModules.ts`.
+- **a helper a server fn factory module uses only inside .server() is not logged.** With Vite's default pre-transform requests, the Start compiler's lookup of the server fn factory module (`?server-fn-module-lookup`, in the client environment) goes through Vite's import analysis, which pre-transforms `src/helper.ts` for the client. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **a denied import of a module a server fn factory module re-exports is reported at its original import or use, with its path.** The location of the use is read from a source map of the module whose `sources` are relative to it (`other.ts`), and import protection takes the source as it is (import-protection/sourceLocation.ts `mapGeneratedToOriginal`, `orig.source`), so `Importer:` names the file without its directory. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/sourceLocation.ts`.
+- **a denied import of a module warmed up before its importers is logged once the client loads the app.** A module the dev server transforms before any importer of it is known (Vite's `server.warmup`, which transforms the listed files as the server starts, or any request that comes first) has its violations discarded as unreachable from Start's entries (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `processPendingViolations`, `'unreachable'`; only bundled dev keeps them pending), and Vite caches its transform, so they are never checked again, even once the app loads the module from its entry. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **with perEnvironmentStartEndDuringDev, a denied import of a module the client loads after the server rendered is logged.** With Vite's `server.perEnvironmentStartEndDuringDev`, each environment runs `buildStart` when it first handles a module, and import protection's `buildStart` clears the state of every environment (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `clearEnvState` for each), so the server's first request drops the client's import graph: a module the client loads afterwards is unreachable from Start's entries and its violations are discarded. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **the trace of a denied file imported from a module of src/routes leads from the router entry.** In full-bundle dev, import protection takes each client module of `src/routes` as an entry, so that a violation under a route the bundle reaches before the router entry's imports are known is not discarded (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveId`, bundled dev `env.graph.addEntry(normalizedImporter)`); the trace then stops at the first entry it meets. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **with mockAccess off, a server fn built with a factory of a denied file gets the mock in the client bundle and is logged at its original import or use.** The Start compiler looks up the factory in the denied file's mock (`import mock from 'tanstack-start-import-protection:mock'`) with its lookup query, and the Vite adapter loads the silent mock only by its exact id (vite/import-protection-plugin/virtualModules.ts `loadResolvedVirtualModule`): Rolldown cannot load `\0tanstack-start-import-protection:mock?server-fn-module-lookup`. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/virtualModules.ts`.
+- **in a JSX module, a use of a denied file imported through a subpath import alias is located on its source line.** Import protection keeps a module's source map for its diagnostics up front only when the module's compiled code names a denied module (`shouldCaptureDiagnosticSourceMap`, vite/import-protection-plugin/ plugin.ts).
+- **with maxTraceDepth, a deeper trace is cut, keeping the importer.** Dev import protection replaces its trace (cut at `maxTraceDepth`) with the trace it finds in Vite's module graph whenever that one is longer (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `rebuildAndAnnotateTrace`); the module graph trace runs from the entry and is only cut at `maxTraceDepth + 2` steps, from the entry side (so in a chain deeper than that, it does not reach the importer). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/exemptions.test.ts`
+
+- **an importer that is not exempt gets the mock and is reported.** With `importProtection.include`, a denied file outside the patterns is never mocked: its own transform skips out-of-scope files before the self-denial. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **the exempt importer gets the real module, and is not reported.** An importer exempted by `ignoreImporters`/`exclude` gets the mock instead of the real module (ruling 2026-10-17: exempt importers get the real module).
+- **an importer that is not exempt gets the mock and is reported.** Same as the `include` row above. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **the exempt importer gets the real module, and is not reported.** Same as the exemption row above.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/known-bugs.test.ts`
+
+- **a denied module the client bundle drops does not fail the build.** The build check counts a denied module as surviving when the compilation contains it, whether or not the client uses it. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/virtualModules.ts`.
+- **in mock mode, an unused denied module leaves nothing in the client bundle and no warning.** Same as above, in mock mode: the mock of a denied module the client never uses stays in the client bundle, and the build warns about it.
+- **a server fn factory module calling a denied import at the top level fails to load.** The Start compiler resolves the imports of a server fn factory module with a lookup query (`SERVER_FN_LOOKUP`), and import protection records the module as a lookup module by its path without the query (`serverFnLookupModules`, vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveId`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **a module a server fn factory module imports, calling a denied import at the top level, fails to load.** Same cause as the pin above, one module further: when the Start compiler's lookup of a server fn factory module resolves the module's imports, import protection records each imported module as a lookup module too (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveId`, "Propagate pre-transform status transitively"), by its path, so the client's own transform of that module is silenced as well. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **a module of a custom type importing $name is reported, and its real code does not run.** Rsbuild import protection checks importers by file extension (`isImportProtectionSourceFile`, rsbuild/import-protection.ts, only JS/TS extensions), and its loader rule only rewrites those files, so an importer of another module type that compiles to JS (a custom type here, `.mdx` through its real loader below) is never checked: a denied file is mocked (the file rule) but not reported, and a denied specifier is neither reported nor mocked. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
+- **an .mdx page importing $name is reported in its source, and its real code does not run.** Rsbuild import protection checks importers by file extension (JS/TS only), so an `.mdx` importer is never checked: a denied file is mocked but not reported, and a denied specifier's real code runs. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
+- **a client dynamic import of a denied specifier fails the build, reporting one client violation.** A dynamic `import('db-lib')` of a denied specifier is neither reported nor mocked: the Rsbuild loader only rewrites static imports and re-exports (`rewriteDeniedImports`, import-protection/rewrite.ts), and the build reports specifier violations only through the mock modules of rewritten imports (`processAssets` in rsbuild/import-protection.ts). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/rewrite.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
+- **in mock mode, a denied .server.json file is mocked, with a warning.** In mock mode, a denied file that is not JavaScript or TypeScript keeps its content: Vite replaces a denied file with its mock in a transform hook whose filter only lets JS/TS modules through (`/\.[cm]?[tj]sx?($|\?)/`, transform-cache plugin of vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts), and the Rsbuild loader rule only applies to JS/TS modules (`test: /\.[cm]?[tj]sx?$/`, rsbuild/import-protection.ts). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
+- **in mock mode, a denied .server.cjs file is mocked, with a warning.** In mock mode, a denied CommonJS file (`.server.cjs`) fails the build: the mock that replaces the file is an ES module, which Vite's parser rejects in a `.cjs` file (`export default mock`), and whose named exports are the ES exports of the denied file, which a CommonJS file has none of, so Rspack cannot link the named import (`export 'secret' ... was not found`).
+- **vite dev: ${name}.** The mock edge of a denied specifier exports only the names the importer reads statically, so `ns[key]` of a namespace import is `undefined`; a mock-mode Rsbuild build also inlines the real value of an enum member of a denied file. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/virtualModules.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/reported-location.test.ts`
+
+- **$channel: $name.** The usage lookup counts a member property named like a denied import (`db.eq`) as a use of the import (shared `findPostCompileUsagePos` / `findOriginalUnsafeUsagePos` in import-protection/analysis.ts, used by both adapters). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/analysis.ts`.
+- **$channel: $name.** The original-source usage lookup, which the Rsbuild adapter tries first, takes any `<name>ServerFn.handler(...)` callback for a server fn handler by its name (`/ServerFn$/`, `isCompilerSafeBoundaryCall` in import-protection/analysis.ts) and skips the use inside it; the compiled-code lookup it then falls back to reports compiled-code coordinates (the same fallback as the pins below). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/analysis.ts`.
+- **$channel: $name.** The original-source usage lookup, which the Rsbuild adapter tries first, counts uses in type positions (`typeof secret`), which TypeScript erases, and does not count a JSX element (`<Secret />`) as a use; the compiled-code lookup it then falls back to reports compiled-code coordinates when the module has no column source map (production builds, and Rsbuild's default `cheap-module-source-map` in development).
+- **$channel: $name.** The original-source usage lookup, which the Rsbuild adapter tries first, skips only functions passed directly to a compiler-safe boundary call (`isInsideCompilerSafeBoundaryNodes`, import-protection/analysis.ts), but the client compile removes the whole `createServerOnlyFn(...)` call, whatever its argument (here a function wrapped in `wrap(...)`), so the use inside it never runs in the client; the lookup reports it (src/a.tsx:5:48) instead of the leak on line 6. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/analysis.ts`.
+- **the trace goes through modules outside the source directory.** The trace of a Vite build starts at the first module of the trace that is in the source directory and not in `node_modules`: the Vite adapter does not record the imports of other modules in its import graph (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **the trace starts at the entry when a module imports the entry back.** Rsbuild: when a module imports the entry back, the trace collapses to the importer alone, tagged as the entry (the concatenated entry module is registered by its loader path). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
+- **$build: after $name.** A trace step's location is the import's position in the compiled code of the module unless import protection captured a source map of it: the Vite adapter captures one only for modules whose code names a denied file or specifier pattern or a marker (`shouldCaptureDiagnosticSourceMap` in vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts), the Rsbuild adapter only when the build emits source maps. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/v2-alias.test.ts`
+
+- **the build fails, reporting the aliased specifier at its original line.** With vite-tsconfig-paths, a violation through a `paths` alias is reported with the mapped specifier (`src/secret.server`) and no location, not the `~/secret.server` the user wrote. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/v2-edits-page.test.ts`
+
+- **the step reports its violations, and only those.** The violation the edit adds is never logged. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/trace.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/v2-policy.test.ts`
+
+- **an importer $how gets the real module.** Rsbuild dev replaces a denied file with its mock in the file's own transform, for every importer (rsbuild/import-protection-loader.ts: `checkFileDenial` matches, then `generateDevSelfDenialModule`), before an importer's exemption or the verdict of `onViolation` (`reportViolation`, rsbuild/import-protection.ts, at the end of the compile) counts. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection-loader.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
+- **the client gets the real module.** The `Promise<false>` twin of the pin "returning false allows the import: the client gets the real module" (dev.test.ts): dev import protection replaces the denied file with its mock when it resolves the import, before `onViolation` decides; returning `Promise<false>` only silences the report (the control above).
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`
+
+- **client: a server fn module calling a function of a denied specifier at the top level loads.** When the Start compiler resolves an import of the module it is compiling (here the callee of a top-level call next to a server fn), import protection handles a denied specifier before the module's transform result exists, and falls back to `getModuleInfo(importer).code`, which Vite's dev server does not support: reading it throws (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveExportsForDeniedSpecifier`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
+- **client: the importer of a module whose server-only marker was removed loads the module.** Import protection replaces a client import of a module it knows is server-only-marked with a mock when it resolves the import.
+- **client: a name re-exported with `export \*` from $name is a mock, or the server warns about the `export \*`.** In dev, a client module's `export * from` a denied module re-exports nothing: the mock edge of a denied specifier exports only the names its importer uses, and `export *` uses none; a denied file's `export *` is removed from the importer.
+
+#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/rsbuild/import-protection.test.ts`
+
+- **the file rule denies the module it resolves to: the importer is reported at the import or the use.** The report of a denied import `source.transformImport` rewrote points at neither the import nor the use of its binding (`src/entry.ts:2:25`, the arrow of `read`; the use `button()` is at 2:27): the location is only found in the rewritten code (through the mock module's path), whose positions do not map back to the source. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
+- **denied as written, the build fails on it, reporting the importer at the import or the use.** A specifier denied as the user wrote it is not denied once `source.transformImport` rewrote it: the loader matches the specifiers of the code SWC already transformed (`ui-lib/button`), so `'ui-lib'` never matches, and the build ships the library to the client without any error or warning. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection-loader.ts`.
+
+### J7 RSC CSS injection (react-start-rsc)
+
+7 pins.
+
+#### `react-start-rsc/tests/integration/rsc-css-rsbuild-root.test.ts`
+
+- **Rsbuild: the app compiles when the process does not run in the app directory.** Start's Rsbuild plugin writes its virtual modules (serialization adapters, RSC decode) under `<process.cwd()>/node_modules/.virtual` (rsbuild/virtual-modules.ts `virtualPath`, with `resolvedStartConfig.root` still empty at setup), where the app's `@tanstack/react-start` does not resolve when the process runs elsewhere (`rsbuild dev --root <app>` from a monorepo root). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/virtual-modules.ts`.
+
+#### `react-start-rsc/tests/integration/rsc-css.test.ts`
+
+- **renderToReadableStream($argument) styles the stream.** The transform only wraps an argument that is JSX itself, not a conditional or logical expression whose branches are all JSX, which is as safe to wrap.
+- **a false ternary stream carries its selected badge CSS.** The alternate JSX branch has no CSS, just like the consequent. Cause: `react-start-rsc/src/plugin/rscCssTransform.ts`.
+- **dev: renderToReadableStream with $name warns, naming the file.** The transform silently skips a `renderToReadableStream` argument it cannot see the JSX of (a variable, a spread).
+- **renderToReadableStream does not render $name before the JSX argument.** A comment before the JSX argument of `renderToReadableStream` is moved into the generated CSS fragment, where it becomes JSX text.
+- **renderServerComponent styles the server component when its result is chained.** A call whose result is immediately member-called (`renderServerComponent(...).then()`) is recorded as the inner call of a method chain and never visited as a candidate itself. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`.
+
+#### `react-start-rsc/tests/rsc-css-diagnostics.test.ts`
+
+- **dev explains the CSS limitation once per source file at an original call position.** Identifier/spread stream arguments silently miss CSS delivery. Cause: `react-start-rsc/src/plugin/rscCssTransform.ts`.
+
+## Upstream issues
+
+Bugs whose root cause is in a dependency. None is worked around in product code. The tests either pin the outcome
+(the dependency is the compiler's own implementation choice) or carry an authorized harness workaround with a
+"remove when" comment ([RULINGS.md](./RULINGS.md#test-workarounds-for-upstream-bugs)).
+
+- **Rspack's vendored watchpack loses file removals.** Rspack 2.2 vendors watchpack 2.5.2, which loses a file
+  removal that lands while a compile runs (fixed in watchpack 2.6.0, webpack/watchpack#345), and never reports a
+  file removed during its first directory scan.
+  - Workaround: Rsbuild tests delete or recreate one file per edit. Remove it (merge the steps back) once Rspack
+    bundles watchpack ≥ 2.6. Where: `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/v2-edits.test.ts`,
+    `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/v2-edits-page-rsbuild.test.ts`,
+    `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/rsbuild/dev-server.test.ts`.
+  - Harness wait: the Rsbuild dev harness resolves only once every watcher is attached and has scanned the app
+    (`CompileTracker.watching` in `compiler-test-utils/src/rsbuild-dev-server.ts`). This is harness realism and may
+    stay.
+- **Vite full-bundle dev leaves a rejection unhandled.** In Vite 8 `experimental.bundledDev`, `BundledDev.listen()`
+  does not handle the `waitForInitialBuildFinish()` rejection, so closing the server during its initial build logs
+  "Failed to get bundle state". There is no public API to await it (vitejs/vite#22991).
+  - Workaround: before `close()`, the harness waits for Vite's initial-build bookkeeping, reading one Vite internal.
+    Remove it once Vite handles the rejection. Where: `compiler-test-utils/src/dev-server.ts`.
+- **Rspack and webpack leave unbound reads in kept dead code.** In unminified production output, Rspack 2.2 drops an
+  unused import specifier whose reader is still emitted, and both Rspack and webpack 5 drop the lexical
+  declarations after a computed `return` but keep the hoisted functions that read them.
+  - Not a workaround: the dangling-name check covers only the modules the compilers under test produced or changed
+    (SPEC G8, RULINGS "dangling names"). Where: `checkDanglingNames` in `compiler-test-utils/src/build-harness.ts`;
+    controls in `compiler-test-utils/tests/integration/build-harness.test.ts` ("dangling names in webpack and Rspack
+    production client builds").
+- **unplugin drops source maps on webpack and Rspack.** unplugin 3.3's webpack and Rspack transform loaders drop
+  the source map a plugin returns when no earlier loader passed one in (`dist/{webpack,rspack}/loaders/transform.mjs`).
+  Split chunks then map to the code splitter's output.
+  - Pinned: unplugin is the compiler's own bundler-integration layer. Where:
+    `router-plugin/tests/integration/build-source-maps.test.ts`, `router-plugin/tests/integration/dev-source-maps.test.ts`,
+    `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-source-maps.test.ts`.
+- **`@babel/generator` drops required parentheses.** Version 7.29 prints parenthesized JSX under a non-null
+  assertion or a member access (`(<p/>)!`, `(<p/>).valueOf()`) and a type assertion that is the test of a
+  conditional whose branch starts with a unary minus (`((a) as any) ? -x : y`) without their parentheses. The output
+  does not parse.
+  - Pinned: Babel is today's printer. Where: `router-plugin/tests/known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts`,
+    `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-preserves-user-code.test.ts`.
+- **babel-dead-code-elimination counts `typeof` type queries as references.** Version 1.0.12 keeps a declaration
+  that only a type reads (`z.infer<typeof schema>`), with its initializer and imports
+  (pcattori/babel-dead-code-elimination#50).
+  - Pinned: today's dead-code elimination. Where: `start-plugin-core/tests/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`,
+    `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-env-separation.test.ts`.

+# The compiler test oracle
+
+This directory explains the test suite that defines a good TanStack Router/Start compiler. Read it before you
+replace or rewrite a compiler (for example to move off Babel).
+
+- [SPEC.md](./SPEC.md): what a good compiler must do. Every clause id a test cites (`J4.12`, `G3`, `§5.7`) is
+  defined there.
+- [RULINGS.md](./RULINGS.md): the maintainers' decisions behind the spec, and the authorized test workarounds.
+- [KNOWN-BUGS.md](./KNOWN-BUGS.md): the bugs of today's compilers, pinned as `.fails` tests, and the upstream
+  issues.
+
+## The goal
+
+A compiler that passes `test:unit` and `test:integration` in these five packages is a good compiler:
+
+- `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils` (the shared harness and its controls)
+- `@tanstack/router-generator`
+- `@tanstack/router-plugin`
+- `@tanstack/start-plugin-core`
+- `@tanstack/react-start-rsc`
+
+Nothing else decides acceptance. The suite asserts outcomes (what users and the docs see), not today's printed
+code, generated names or module layout. SPEC §5 lists what a correct compiler may do differently.
+
+## The seven jobs

+
+Each package has a fast tier (`test:unit`: in process, the inner loop) and a slow tier (`test:integration`, under
+`tests/integration/`: real builds, dev servers and browser pages).
+
+## Acceptance corpus and implementation tests
+
+The corpus is `test:unit` plus `test:integration`. Tests under a `tests/**/outside-compiler-corpus/` directory are
+implementation tests: they check choices of today's implementation (printed bytes, log policy, internal entry
+points, performance counters). They run with `test:implementation` (router-generator, router-plugin,
+start-plugin-core), and CI runs them too. A correct new compiler may legitimately fail them: delete or rewrite them
+with the implementation they describe. The rules for the label are in
+[../AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md#corpus-and-implementation-tests).
+
+## Pins (`.fails`)
+
+A test marked `.fails` (`test.fails`, `it.fails.each`, or `bundler === 'vite' ? test : test.fails`) is a pin: it
+asserts the correct outcome for a bug that today's compiler has, so it fails today. Its comment says `Bug:`,
+`Impact:` and `Source:`. Pins are fix-agnostic: any correct fix passes them, and where the spec allows a clear
+error instead of support, the pin accepts that error too.
+
+When a pin starts passing, Vitest reports "Expect test to fail". That means the bug is fixed: remove the `.fails`
+and keep the test as a regression test. A new compiler will flip many pins at once; that is expected and good.
+[KNOWN-BUGS.md](./KNOWN-BUGS.md) indexes them by job.
+
+## Real tools only
+
+Tests drive the real tools: real Vite, Rsbuild, Rspack and webpack builds and dev servers, real framework plugins,
+real Chromium pages, real React, Solid and Vue runtimes, real HMR clients. They never copy a bundler's, a
+framework's or an HMR runtime's logic (RULINGS "real tools only"). A new compiler must therefore work through the
+real plugin entry points, not only through an in-process API.
+
+## Running tests
+
+Read [../AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md) first. It explains how to run one file or one test name through Nx in about 5
+seconds, the load gate for the slow tier (at most two slow-tier runs on the machine), and the strict budget mode
+(`COMPILER_TEST_BUDGETS=strict` on a quiet machine). Always go through Nx: running Vitest directly can test a stale
+`dist` of a dependency. The repository-wide rules are in the root `AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Reading a clause id in a test
+
+Test comments cite the spec like `SPEC J4.5`, `(G3, J2.4)` or `§5.7`:
+
+- `G1`–`G15`: cross-cutting rules (SPEC §3).
+- `J<job>.<n>`: a clause of one job (SPEC §4), for example `J6.5` is import-protection report content.
+- `§5.N` (or "§5 item N"): a freedom a correct compiler may use (SPEC §5).
+- `§1.x`, `§2.x`, `§8`, `§9`: scope, supported inputs, checking rules and evidence still pending.
+- `OQ12`–`OQ17`: ruled product questions (SPEC §6).
+- `R1`–`R7`: the seven cross-cutting rules the G rules refine (SPEC preamble).
+- `D1`–`D14`, `P1`, `P2`, `L3`, `R-09`, `R-14`, `K-19`, `PIN-A`, `D-04`: rulings ([RULINGS.md](./RULINGS.md)).
+
+Some test comments also cite `DECISIONS`, `FOLLOWUPS` or review codes (`N4`, `S16`). These were
+the working notes of the review that built the suite. Their binding content is in RULINGS.md and KNOWN-BUGS.md;
+the test itself states the outcome it asserts.
+
+## How the suite was validated
+
+- **Adversarial compilers.** Reviewers wrote compiler variants as patches to the product source and ran the whole
+  corpus against each. In the final round, all 90 wrong compilers (from four authors over two rounds) were caught,
+  and all 34 correct-but-different compilers passed. When first run, the corpus caught 47 of the 50 first-round
+  wrong compilers and 18 of the 40 second-round ones, and flagged 5 of 20 and then 4 of 15 valid ones. Every
+  escape got a new test, and every false alarm was fixed in the tests or the spec.
+- **Independent review.** Two reviewers, each a different AI model, checked every test against the spec, and an
+  arbiter settled their disagreements. Every confirmed finding was fixed.
+- **Stability.** Every flake seen under load was traced to its root cause and fixed (or pinned when the cause is a
+  product bug). The final merges ran every tier twice with identical counts and no flakes.
+- **Speed.** On a quiet machine at 4 workers every tier is under its hard budget, no slow-tier file takes over
+  15 seconds, and edit to result for one fast-tier file is about 5 seconds.
+
+Counts at hand-over (passed / expected-fail pins):
+
+| Package             | `test:unit` | `test:integration` | `test:implementation` |
+| ------------------- | ----------- | ------------------ | --------------------- |
+| compiler-test-utils | 250         | 111                | –                     |
+| router-generator    | 270 / 30    | 60 / 3             | 81 / 2                |
+| router-plugin       | 445 / 179   | 355 / 193          | 53                    |
+| start-plugin-core   | 938 / 202   | 853 / 214          | 272 / 7               |
+| react-start-rsc     | 50 / 1      | 108 / 11           | –                     |
+
+## Caveat: the oracle is only as good as its last attack
+
+In the second adversarial round, an attacker who could read the tests found 19 input shapes that no test covered.
+Each escape is now caught by a row written for it, but a fresh attacker would likely find more. After a major
+compiler change, run another adversarial round: ask an independent reviewer, who may read the tests, to write wrong
+compilers that pass the corpus, and add a row for each escape. Re-check correct-but-different variants too, so the
+new rows do not pin one implementation.

+# Rulings behind the oracle
+
+The maintainers' decisions that shaped [SPEC.md](./SPEC.md). Each entry says what was decided, why, and which
+clauses it affects. The spec cites them as `[ruling: <name>]`; tests cite the short ids (D5, P1, L3, …). Where
+a ruling and an older test comment disagree, the ruling wins.
+
+## Scope and method
+
+### first review rulings
+
+- A test that asserts a current limitation as if it were the goal is split in two: a loosened regression test
+  (correct output, user informed when not split) and a `.fails` goal pin (see "limitation tests").
+- Goal tests sit where the outcome is decided. The compiler decides semantics, identity, validity, absent server
+  code and warnings; the bundler decides final chunk placement and dead-code elimination, which therefore are
+  build-level assertions per bundler, with `sideEffects` and `@__PURE__` hints varied.
+- Some exports genuinely prevent splitting (eagerly imported elsewhere, or a side-effectful initialiser without a
+  purity hint). Expected outcome: correct, one instance, user informed.
+- Method shorthand (`component() {…}`) is splittable and refreshable like any option.
+- Spread and computed option keys are best effort; the fallback must be safe (never prune a route or skip it for
+  prerendering because a key was missed).
+- Initialiser timing is not pinned: tests check run-once and the same value everywhere.
+
+Why: the suite must accept every correct implementation. Clauses: G2, G3, J1.9, J2.4, J2.8, J2.9, §8.
+
+### limitation tests
+
+When the user can fix a pattern, the tool warns. When the obstacle is our own analysis, that is a bug: a `.fails`
+goal pin, plus a passing loosened test for the safe fallback. Best-effort cases get only the loosened test. Clauses:
+G5, §8.
+
+### generated names
+
+Generated identifiers (`TSRComponent`, `fn_createServerFn_handler`, `__tss_deny_0`, …), virtual-module ids and
+query strings are a black box. No test may depend on them. Clauses: G9, §5.1, §5.3.
+
+### P1: route module exports
+
+Neither "exports unchanged" nor "extra exports allowed" is the spec. A compiler may add exports, and may remove
+exports nothing imports. Every export that something actually imports (another module, a test file, another route)
+keeps working, with the same value and instance the route itself uses. Tests assert through a real importer, never
+on the export list. Clauses: G9, J2.4, J4.13.
+
+### P2: SSR handler placement
+
+Only the client must be free of server-function handler code. When SSR runs in the same environment as the
+server-function provider, keeping the handler in place or extracting it are both allowed. SSR tests assert
+behaviour only (calls run the handler, top-level code runs once, HTTP calls by id work). Clauses: J4.3, §5.4.
+
+### real tools only
+
+Test infrastructure never re-implements another tool. Tests of what a bundler, framework or HMR runtime decides
+drive the real tools (real dev servers with the real framework plugins, the real HMR client, real `react-dom`,
+Solid and Vue runtimes, real production builds) and observe outcomes. Thin glue only at unavoidable boundaries,
+each with its own contract test. Why: a copy of Vite or React Refresh logic tests the copy, not the compiler.
+Clause: §8.
+
+### runtime bugs
+
+A corpus pin must have its cause in a compiler: the J1–J7 sources or their bundler integrations. A pin whose cause
+is a runtime package (for example a hydration boundary in `react-start-client`) is deleted from the corpus. Babel
+(`@babel/generator`), babel-dead-code-elimination and unplugin count as the current compilers' implementation
+choices: a rewrite that drops them passes those pins, so they stay. Clauses: §1.2, §8.
+
+### valid alternative compilers
+
+Adversarial "correct but different" compilers showed tests that were too strict. Each of these is valid and must
+pass:
+
+- a diagnostic naming the file for a template-literal route id, instead of a rewrite (J1.1);
+- keeping a factory import the edit made unused (J1.2);
+- no warning about unusual but valid param names (J1.12);
+- minimal code-frame context: tests prove the original source with a token on the reported line itself (§5.7, §8).
+
+### dangling names
+
+A compiled module may reference an undefined name inside code that never runs, if every supported bundler deletes
+that code in the production build. A dangling name that survives into a production client bundle is a bug. The
+check runs on the real production output per bundler. It covers exactly the modules the compilers under test
+produced or changed (user and route modules after our transforms, split chunks, virtual and support modules,
+dependency modules our plugins transformed). Inside that scope every free name counts, unless the module's original
+source already reads it free. Modules no compiler touched are out of scope: Rspack and webpack drop some bindings
+in unminified dead code of untouched dependencies (see KNOWN-BUGS.md, upstream issues), and that is not a compiler
+defect. Clause: G8.
+
+### D4: no compile-speed benchmark
+
+No compiler benchmark or performance test is part of the oracle for now. Clause: §1.2.
+
+### D14: warning wording
+
+Warning and error wording is free, as long as the file (and the option or API where it applies) is named and the
+user can act. Clauses: G5, J2.19, §5.7.
+
+### file names in diagnostics
+
+File names may be absolute or project-relative, if unambiguous. A bare basename that is only a suffix of the
+project-relative path (`other.ts` for `src/other.ts`) does not name the file. The shared diagnostics oracle
+(`mentionsFile`) follows this rule. Clause: §5.7.
+
+### user-added environments
+
+Import protection in environments the user adds outside Start is undefined behaviour: no test either way. If a
+choice is ever forced, lean "left alone". Clauses: §2.2, §1.3.
+
+### recompiling Start output
+
+Compiling Start output a second time (the plugin registered twice, a dependency shipping Start-compiled output) is
+not supported; even an internal error is fine. No test. Clauses: §2.2, G14, §5.16.
+
+### prerender discovery
+
+Prerender discovery and SPA-mode prerendering are out of scope. Only the safety rule stays: never skip a route
+because a key was missed (J1.9). Clause: §1.2.
+
+### unknown template tag
+
+An unknown `%%tag%%` in a custom scaffolding template becomes an empty string. Fine, no test. Clause: §2.2.
+
+### D1: published client source maps
+
+A client source map's `sourcesContent` holds the whole original file, including server code the JavaScript dropped.
+Out of scope: a known limitation, no test (the production checklist in the docs mentions it). Clauses: §1.2, G6.
+
+### D3: bundler scope
+
+webpack should work but is low priority; it is in the matrix. esbuild: no work; the only requirement is "works or
+refuses clearly". Clauses: §1.3, J2.18, C12.
+
+## Router (J1–J3)
+
+### one route per file
+
+File-based and virtual routing: one route per module, exported as `Route`. A file route module that also creates
+another route object is not supported (no split or HMR requirement); two `createFileRoute` calls in one module
+must never fail silently. Code-based routes are split by hand with `.lazy()`; the router-plugin compilers never
+see them. Why: the docs show nothing else, and real projects do not do it. Clauses: §1.2, §2.1, §2.2, J2.1, J2.11.
+
+### R-09: a route created inside a function of the same file
+
+Unsupported but user-fixable. A correct split (renders, hot-updates) and "unsplit plus a warning naming the file"
+both pass, in every mode. Crashes and rendering the wrong component are bugs. Clauses: §2.2, J2.10.
+
+### route options from a function call
+
+`createFileRoute('/')(makeOptions(…))` may reload the whole page on every dev edit; the edit must take effect.
+Clauses: §2.2, J2.8, J3.3.
+
+### D5: a split chunk holds only what it needs
+
+A split chunk contains only what its option needs (unused exported functions and classes copied into every chunk
+are a bug). The compiler decides this, so compiler-level checks are allowed, plus a build-level check. Clauses:
+J2.5, §5.3.
+
+### D9: deprecated `assert` import attributes
+
+Keep supporting `import … assert { type: 'json' }`; it comes out as `with`. Support may be dropped once nobody uses
+it. Clause: J2.17.
+
+### D10: Solid and Vue split components across hot updates
+
+Component identity is kept, as for React. Clause: J3.2.
+
+### D11: not-split warnings
+
+Warn for anything that should have been split but was not, when the user can fix the pattern. If our analysis is
+the obstacle, it is a bug to fix (goal pin), not a warning. Clauses: G5, J2.8.
+
+### D12: root routes
+
+Root `errorComponent` and `notFoundComponent` should be split (goal pin); leaving the root unsplit is acceptable
+but not preferred. The root `component` always renders and need not be split. Clauses: J2.7, §5.10, C1.
+
+### exported Route readers
+
+A function the route module exports that reads `Route` must be one instance for importers and the route. A copy
+in a chunk is a bug, even for a stateless function. Clauses: G9, J2.4.
+
+### L3: imports used only for types
+
+A route module's import used only for types does not load its module in the client (its side effects do not
+run). The splitter decides this regardless of `verbatimModuleSyntax`. Clauses: G2, G3, J2.5.
+
+### PIN-A: pathless layout under a lazy-only route
+
+`posts.lazy.tsx` (no `posts.tsx`) plus `posts/_layout.tsx` with children: the lazy-only route's virtual anchor is
+the layout's parent. Attaching it to the next real ancestor is a bug. Clause: J1.14.
+
+### childless pathless layout
+
+`_auth.tsx` next to `index.tsx`, with no children yet, is a valid route: no error. Clause: J1.15.
+
+### K-19: `tmpDir` on another device
+
+When `tmpDir` is on another filesystem, the generator writes the temporary file beside the destination and renames
+it there. Copy-then-unlink is not acceptable (a reader can see partial content). Clause: J1.16.
+
+### .lazy.vue
+
+`x.lazy.vue` is a lazily loaded `component` piece of route `x`, not a lazy route module. An empty `.lazy.vue` is not
+scaffolded with TypeScript route code. Clauses: §2.1, J1.3, J1.17.
+
+### D-04: a JSX pragma after the imports
+
+Preserve the original file's effective JSX runtime decision: a pragma the transform ignores in the untouched file
+must not become effective in a chunk. A warning plus leaving the file unsplit also passes. Tests assert the
+rendered outcome only. Clause: J2.16.
+
+### R-14: license comments
+
+License comments (`/*!`, `@license`, `@preserve`) stay in the source module when the splitter moves or removes the
+code below them; other orphaned comments are free. Clauses: G12, §5.5.
+
+### OQ12: license comments beyond the splitter
+
+R-14 binds the splitter only. Placement is free for the Start compiler and the import-protection rewrite. Clauses:
+G12, §6.
+
+### OQ13, OQ14, OQ15, OQ16, OQ17
+
+Ruled product questions; see SPEC §6. OQ13 (already-lazy option values: once preloaded, render requests no new
+module), OQ14 (`component: Outlet`: no requirement), OQ15 (`.inputValidator()`: types are enough), OQ16
+(third-party transforms on split chunks: out of scope for now), OQ17 (four minor items, recommendations applied).
+
+### shellComponent
+
+`shellComponent` exists only on the root route, and the root route is never split, so the HMR problem first
+reported (on a file route) is unreachable. Root edits that add, change or remove `shellComponent` hot-update.
+Clauses: §2.1, J3.5, §8 (reachability before pinning).
+
+### dev edits and full reloads
+
+Avoid full reloads wherever a hot update is feasible, on the client and the server. Tests may require "no full
+reload" there and never require one. Which in-memory state survives is the bundler's business. Clauses: G10,
+J3.6.
+
+### HMR in Start production builds
+
+Start forces `addHmr: true` for its client splitter, so there is no HMR-disabled Start build to compare with. The
+router-level paired build (same splitter, same production gating) decides "no HMR support in production". No new
+product option was added for this. Clause: J3.7.
+
+### Rsbuild route-tree parity
+
+Rsbuild must prune server-only routes from the client route tree like Vite does (a `.fails` parity pin on
+Rsbuild). Clause: J2.15.
+
+## Start (J4–J7)
+
+### D2: `generateFunctionId` input
+
+`generateFunctionId` receives the generated handler name, while the docs suggest hashing the function name. Left
+as is until server-function naming is reworked; no test depends on it. Clauses: J4.4, C5.
+
+### D6: only client-referenced server functions are HTTP-callable
+
+A server function that no client code references must not answer a direct HTTP call by id. Main never rejects:
+a fix-agnostic goal pin. Server-to-server calls must keep working. Clause: J4.2.
+
+### D13: a server function nested in a function
+
+Supported when its handler captures no local binding (goal pin, not urgent). One that captures locals is supported
+safely or rejected with an error naming the capture. Clauses: J4.6, §5.13.
+
+### restored corpus inputs
+
+Two shapes stay in the corpus. A server function in a top-level `{ }` block must work, or fail with a clear error
+naming the file. Unrecognised call shapes (`createServerFn()['handler'](…)`, `createServerOnlyFn(…).bind(null)`)
+must not leak server code to the client: the client build holds no server-only code, or the build fails clearly.
+Builders re-exported under string export names must work. Clauses: J4.5, J4.6, J4.12.
+
+### client-only declarations on the server
+
+On the server, dropping a declaration (and its import and initializer effects) that only client-only code reads
+(`<ClientOnly>` children, `createClientOnlyFn`) is preferred, not required, for neutral file names. For files
+import protection denies on the server (`*.client.*`, the client-only marker) it is required, and a default server
+build reports no violation for such code. Clauses: G3, J4.11, §5.12, C15.
+
+### namespace imports
+
+`import * as Start from '@tanstack/react-start'; <Start.Hydrate …>` is a boundary like a named import, and
+`import * as RSC from '@tanstack/react-start/rsc'; RSC.renderServerComponent(...)` (and the other RSC helpers)
+gets CSS injection like a named import. Direct static namespace members count; variables and wrappers do not.
+Clauses: §2.1, J5.1, J7.2.
+
+### D8: RSC CSS transform and skipped calls
+
+`renderToReadableStream(<JSX/>)` and all-JSX conditionals get CSS. An identifier or spread argument gets a dev-only
+warning. Clause: J7.3.
+
+### RSC undocumented inputs
+
+A second `options` argument of `renderToReadableStream` and plain-data models (`{ card: <Card /> }`), both type
+errors under the default types, must not break: the call works and its arguments reach the runtime unchanged. CSS
+injection and a warning are neither required nor forbidden. Clauses: §2.2, J7.3, C9.
+
+### import-protection exemptions
+
+An importer exempted by `ignoreImporters`, `exclude` or outside `include` gets the real module of a denied file,
+and nothing is reported for it. A denied target matched by `excludeFiles` is not checked, so its importers get the
+real module. Non-exempt importers of the same file still get the mock and a report. Why: exempting must not merely
+silence the report. Clauses: J4.12, J6.7.
+
+### mock mode always logs
+
+With `behavior: 'mock'` (dev or build, client or server env), every violation is reported, and the runtime access
+diagnostic follows `mockAccess` (default `error`; `warn`; `off` silences) wherever a mock is served. Main's
+client-dev-only runtime diagnostic is a bug. Why: the docs say "A warning is logged but the build continues".
+Clause: J6.3.
+
+## Test workarounds for upstream bugs
+
+These are the only workarounds the maintainers authorized in the tests. Each carries a comment that says when to
+remove it. The upstream issues are listed in [KNOWN-BUGS.md](./KNOWN-BUGS.md#upstream-issues).
+
+### Rspack: one removal per edit
+
+Rspack 2.2 vendors watchpack 2.5.2, which loses a file removal that lands while a compile runs (fixed in watchpack
+2.6.0). Rsbuild tests delete or recreate one file per `edit()` and settle before the next write. Remove the split
+(merge the steps back) once Rspack bundles watchpack ≥ 2.6. Where:
+`start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/v2-edits.test.ts`,
+`importProtection/v2-edits-page-rsbuild.test.ts`, `rsbuild/dev-server.test.ts`.
+
+### Rsbuild harness waits
+
+The Rsbuild dev harness resolves only once every compiler's watcher is attached and has scanned the app's files
+(`CompileTracker.watching` in `compiler-test-utils/src/rsbuild-dev-server.ts`). Watchpack 2.5.2 never reports a file
+removed while its first scan runs. This wait is harness realism ("the server is up" means it watches), so it may
+stay. The harness also writes the initial app files with past modification times, and counts a compile for an edit
+only if it started after the edit's last write: real projects start dev on existing files. See "Rsbuild dev-server
+edits".
+
+### Vite full-bundle dev: close wait
+
+Vite's `BundledDev.listen()` leaves the `waitForInitialBuildFinish()` rejection unhandled, so closing a
+`bundledDev` server during its initial build can log "Failed to get bundle state". Before `close()`, the harness
+waits for Vite's initial-build bookkeeping to finish; it reads one Vite internal because there is no public API
+(vitejs/vite#22991). Remove the wait once Vite handles the rejection. Where: `compiler-test-utils/src/dev-server.ts`.
+
+### Rsbuild dev-server edits
+
+A multi-file edit passes through in-between states that a dev server may compile and report. Tests assert the
+state after the last write, not an exact report list that excludes the in-between states. Clause: §8.
+
+## Test setup facts
+
+- Tests use real framework packages and tools as test-only devDependencies (for example `solid-js`,
+  `vite-plugin-solid`, `@rsbuild/plugin-react`, `@rsbuild/plugin-solid`, `@vitejs/plugin-react`, `miniflare`,
+  `vite-tsconfig-paths`). Built workspace packages such as `@tanstack/react-start` are linked at test time
+  (`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/workspace-packages`, `startRuntimeLinks`) rather than declared, to avoid Nx
+  cycles. That is why the integration targets build `@tanstack/react-start` first.
+- `@rsbuild/plugin-solid` is at least 1.2.2 everywhere: 1.1.1 broke Solid hydration in Rsbuild dev.
+- The harnesses never pass port 0 to Vite or Rsbuild, whose port 0 handling probes a free port and binds it
+  later (a race under load). Vite listens on its default port and moves to the next free one; Rsbuild runs in
+  middleware mode on the harness's own HTTP server, which binds port 0 itself.

+# SPEC: what a good TanStack Router/Start compiler must do
+
+This is the yardstick of the compiler test oracle. It was written from the goal (what users and the docs need), not
+from today's tests or implementation. The tests cite its clause ids (`J4.12`, `G3`, `§5.7`, …); every clause id a
+test cites is defined here. How to use the suite: [README.md](./README.md). Rulings behind the clauses:
+[RULINGS.md](./RULINGS.md). Known bugs of today's compiler: [KNOWN-BUGS.md](./KNOWN-BUGS.md).
+
+Sources, applied in this order, later ones winning: the maintainers' rulings ([RULINGS.md](./RULINGS.md)), then the
+product docs in `docs/router` and `docs/start`, then the public types and options of the packages. Implementation
+code establishes reachability and architecture, never desired behaviour. "Common sense" clauses carry a one-line
+justification.
+
+Source tags: `[ruling: …]` an entry of [RULINGS.md](./RULINGS.md); `[doc: file:line]` the product docs (paths under
+`docs/router` or `docs/start`); `[type: file]` a public type or option; `[wiring: file]` the plugin wiring;
+`[cs: …]` common sense; `R1`–`R7` the seven cross-cutting rules below. Source line numbers are those of the branch
+the spec was written against; they may drift.
+
+The seven cross-cutting rules (`R1`–`R7`); the G rules of §3 refine them:
+
+- **R1** Same runtime semantics, just placed in different modules.
+- **R2** Each environment and chunk contains only what it needs (dead-code elimination is a means, not an end).
+- **R3** No code runs twice, none is lost (module state is initialised once).
+- **R4** Deterministic ids and output, consistent across server and client.
+- **R5** Unsupported input gives a clear error, a warning or a safe non-transform; never silently wrong output.
+- **R6** Source maps point to the user's code.
+- **R7** Development-only additions never reach production.
+
+Vocabulary. _Mode_: `dev` (dev server, watch) or `build` (production bundle). _Environment_ (env): `client` (browser
+bundle), `ssr` (server env that renders pages and calls server functions directly), `provider` (server env/module that
+Start loads to run a server-function handler by id; may be the same env as `ssr`), `rsc` (react-server env when RSC is
+enabled; it is the provider env on Vite). "Server envs" = ssr, provider, rsc. _Bundler_: Vite (incl. Rolldown-Vite),
+Rspack/Rsbuild, webpack (lower priority). _Framework_: React, Solid, Vue. _Split option_: one of `component`,
+`errorComponent`, `pendingComponent`, `notFoundComponent`, `loader`. _File route module_: a module the generator
+registered from the routes directory (or a virtual-route config) that exports `Route` from `createFileRoute`,
+`createLazyFileRoute`, `createRootRoute` or `createRootRouteWithContext`.
+

+
+## 1. Scope
+
+### 1.1 In scope
+
+The seven code-manipulation jobs below, in every supported mode/env/bundler/framework (§1.3), plus the
+plugin wiring that decides which modules each job sees and how its output reaches each bundler:
+
+| Job                               | Owner package                                  | One-line goal                                                                                                                                                          |
+| --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| J1 Route file upkeep              | router-generator                               | keep `createFileRoute('/path')` / `createLazyFileRoute` and the import in sync with the file's location; generate the route tree (runtime + types); touch nothing else |
+| J2 Route code splitting           | router-plugin (+ router-utils)                 | split options load lazily from separate chunks with identical behaviour; each chunk holds only what it needs                                                           |
+| J3 Route HMR (dev only)           | router-plugin                                  | an edited route updates in place, keeps component identity; nothing of it in production                                                                                |
+| J4 Start environment separation   | start-plugin-core (start-compiler)             | server code never reaches the client; every env sees the behaviour the runtime contract promises                                                                       |
+| J5 Deferred hydration `<Hydrate>` | start-plugin-core (+ react/solid-start-client) | children move to a lazy chunk on the client; `fallback` leaves the server; hydration identities agree                                                                  |
+| J6 Import protection              | start-plugin-core                              | cross-environment imports are reported where they survive compilation; mock in dev, error in build                                                                     |
+| J7 RSC CSS injection              | react-start-rsc                                | CSS of server-rendered components reaches the client with the RSC payload                                                                                              |
+
+Wiring in scope: which modules the router-plugin compilers process (file routes only), Start's per-environment
+settings for the router plugin (`deleteNodes: ['ssr','server','headers']` and `addHmr: true` on the client,
+`addHmr: false` on the server; Start enables the splitter in its normal supported wiring and does not expose
+`autoCodeSplitting`, `start-plugin-core/src/schema.ts:6-8`, J2.21), client route-tree pruning of server-only subtrees, how virtual modules
+(split chunks, Hydrate chunks, mock modules, server-fn provider modules) are resolved by each bundler, and the
+ordering of the compilers on one module (they must compose, G11).
+
+### 1.2 Out of scope (with reasons)
+
+- **Prerender discovery and SPA-mode prerendering** (`TSS_PRERENDABLE_PATHS`, `pages`, `prerender.*`,
+  `spa.*`): ruled out `[ruling: prerender discovery]`. Only the safety rule J1.9 survives (never skip a route
+  because a route-option key was missed).
+- **Dev-server middleware, request handling, SSR runtime, serialization, manifest serving**: runtime, not code
+  manipulation.
+- **Debug/perf plumbing** (`TSR_VITE_DEBUG`, timing logs, compile-speed benchmarks): `[ruling: D4]`.
+- **Code-based routing for the router-plugin compilers**: `createRoute`/`createLazyRoute` modules are split by hand
+  with `.lazy()`; the splitter and route HMR never see them `[ruling: one route per file; doc: guide/code-splitting.md:74,320-343]`. The Start compiler (J4) still processes every module.
+- **Published client source maps containing stripped server source** (`sourcesContent`): known limitation, no test
+  `[ruling: D1]`.
+- **Static server functions**, **ISR**, **sitemap**, **inlineCss**, **cdn asset URLs**: runtime/middleware features
+  with no compiler step of their own.
+- **Router runtime semantics** (matching, loaders, `ssr` inheritance): router-core's contract; the compilers only
+  have to preserve it (G1).
+- **esbuild**: no work `[ruling: D3]`; the only requirement is J2.18 (works or clear refusal).
+- **Unused exported router-generator helpers**: product change, not test work.
+- **`server.build.staticNodeEnv` on Rsbuild** (C10): build configuration; its pin is an implementation test
+  outside the corpus.
+- **Runtime bugs.** A pin of the oracle has its cause in a compiler: the J1–J7 sources or their bundler
+  integrations. Babel, babel-dead-code-elimination and unplugin count as the current compilers' implementation
+  choices, so their bugs are compiler bugs. A bug caused by a runtime package (for example a hydration boundary in
+  `react-start-client`) is out of scope, even when a compiler test finds it `[ruling: runtime bugs]`.
+- **Exported compiler internals and raw factory exports** (router-utils/Start-compiler helpers, the root
+  `unpluginRouterGeneratorFactory`-style unplugin factories, compiler extension callbacks and directive options):
+  not user contracts. Tests of them are internal controls (§8), not acceptance.
+- **Filesystem metadata policy of the generator** (file mode/owner retention, `chown` failure handling): not part of
+  J1.2; existing tests are implementation/filesystem regressions outside acceptance.
+
+### 1.3 Acceptance matrix (what "every supported combination" means)
+
+Router J1–J3 cover React, Solid and Vue on the supported Vite, Rspack/Rsbuild and webpack entries, in the modes
+that apply (generation, dev, build); webpack is low priority `[ruling: D3]`. Start J4 and J6 cover Start's Vite and
+Rsbuild integrations `[doc: start guide/hosting.md:7]` and every Start-created participating environment,
+including a separate provider environment where one is configured (RSC): Vite's `rsc` environment, and on
+Rsbuild the `rsc` layer in which the split server-function provider modules compile with `react-server`
+conditions (`start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/plugin.ts:467-495`); both are participating environments of J4, J6
+and J7 `[doc: guide/server-components.md:89 "Vite 8+ or Rsbuild 2+"]`. J5 covers React and Solid on those Start
+integrations (`Hydrate.tsx` exists in `react-start-client` and `solid-start-client` only). J7 covers React with
+RSC enabled under its documented prerequisites (React 19+, Vite 8+ or Rsbuild 2+ `[doc: guide/server-components.md:89]`). Tests cover compiler-disabled settings (`autoCodeSplitting: false`,
+`addHmr: false`, `importProtection.enabled: false`, `rsc` off) as well as defaults and enabled settings; disabled-
+feature rows are scoped to options the integration actually exposes, and the matrix inherits every §2.2 exception.
+Bundler-decided dead-code elimination is asserted on production output; HMR is asserted with the real dev tools
+(§8). No obligations are invented for Start on webpack, `<Hydrate>` on Vue, or environments Start did not create
+(2.2).
+
+---
+
+## 2. Supported inputs
+
+### 2.1 What a user can write
+
+- **Language**: any valid TypeScript/TSX (and JS/JSX) module the project's bundler accepts: type-only imports and
+  exports, `satisfies`, non-null assertions, `as` casts, decorators, class fields, `import … with { type: 'json' }`
+  and the deprecated `assert` form `[ruling: D9]`, JSX pragmas (`@jsx`, `@jsxFrag`, `@jsxRuntime`, `@jsxImportSource`)
+  `[cs: compilers must accept whatever the framework's JSX transform accepts]`, CRLF line endings, BOM-free UTF-8,
+  file names with any character the OS allows (e.g. `what's-new.tsx`) `[cs: the generator writes string literals from file names]`. Non-JS modules that compile to JS before our transforms (`.vue`, `.mdx`) are
+  inputs of J6. Other non-JS modules (CSS, JSON, Markdown, `?raw` text) are never transformed by the JS compilers,
+  even when their text contains an API name such as `createServerFn(` (G1) `[fix #5526 (commit 2824bf7c01) for #5525]`. `.js`/`.jsx` modules are compiled like `.ts`/`.tsx`.
+- **Routing setups** `[doc: routing/route-trees.md:57-65]`: flat, directory, mixed file-based routing; virtual file
+  routes (`virtualRouteConfig` as path or object, `physical()`, `__virtual.ts` subtrees); code-based routing (J4
+  only). One route per file route module, exported as `Route` `[ruling: one route per file; doc: api/router/createFileRouteFunction.md:22; createLazyFileRouteFunction.md:33]`. File naming conventions of
+  `routing/file-naming-conventions.md` with the configurable `indexToken`/`routeToken` (string or regex),
+  `routeFilePrefix`, `routeFileIgnorePrefix`, `routeFileIgnorePattern` `[type: router-generator/src/config.ts]`.
+  `.lazy.tsx` files with `createLazyFileRoute` holding only the four component options
+  `[doc: guide/code-splitting.md:107-115]`. Vue component pieces (`x.component.vue`, `route.component.vue`) are
+  intentional generator inputs (the "Vue-native way", `getRouteNodes.ts:220-235`; loaded as the SFC default export,
+  `generator.ts:739-765`) though undocumented; `x.lazy.vue` is a lazily loaded `component` piece (J1.17) `[ruling: .lazy.vue]`.
+- **Route options** `[doc: api/router/RouteOptionsType.md]`: the five split options as identifiers, inline
+  function/arrow expressions, method shorthand (`component() {…}`) `[ruling: first review rulings]`, string-literal keys,
+  wrapped identifiers (`X as any`, `memo(X)`, `withAuth(X)`), imported bindings; `codeSplitGroupings` per route
+  `[doc: guide/automatic-code-splitting.md:166-185]`; `ssr`, `server`, `headers`, `head`, `scripts`, `beforeLoad`,
+  `loader`, `validateSearch`, `staticData`, etc. Spread and computed keys are _best effort_ (J2.9, J1.9).
+  `shellComponent` exists only on the root route `[ruling: shellComponent]`.
+- **Start APIs** (React, Solid and Vue packages `@tanstack/<fw>-start`; `[type: start-plugin-core import-protection/defaults.ts]` lists all three): `createServerFn(opts?)` with `.middleware([...])`,
+  `.validator(fn|schema)`, `.handler(fn)`; `createMiddleware({ type: 'request' | 'function' })` with
+  `.middleware`, `.validator`, `.client`, `.server`; `createStart(...).createMiddleware` `[type: start-client-core/src/createStart.ts:74]`; `createIsomorphicFn().server(fn).client(fn)` in either order, partial or
+  empty; `createServerOnlyFn(fn)`, `createClientOnlyFn(fn)`; `<ClientOnly fallback>` from the router package.
+  **These J4 builders** may be reached through renamed imports, namespace imports, re-exports, user
+  factories/wrappers in other modules, builders stored in variables, and factory functions that return builders
+  `[doc: guide/middleware.md:817-896 (factories); server-functions.md:134-150 (static imports are safe)]`.
+  `<Hydrate when prefetch split fallback onHydrated>` from `@tanstack/react-start` / `@tanstack/solid-start` has the
+  narrower J5.1 contract (static import, rename allowed, direct static namespace member `<Start.Hydrate>`; no
+  variable indirection or opaque wrappers) `[ruling: namespace imports; doc: guide/deferred-hydration.md:667-695; type: react-start-client/src/Hydrate.tsx]`. RSC helpers
+  `renderServerComponent`, `createCompositeComponent`, `renderToReadableStream` from `@tanstack/react-start/rsc`
+  (React only) are recognised through the two module names, import renames and direct static namespace members
+  (`RSC.renderServerComponent(...)`), not through project re-exports or wrappers (J7.2) `[ruling: namespace imports; doc: guide/server-components.md]`.
+- **Import-protection inputs** `[doc: guide/import-protection.md]`: `*.server.*` / `*.client.*` file names, the
+  `/server-only` and `/client-only` marker imports, every option of `ImportProtectionOptions`
+  `[type: start-plugin-core/src/schema.ts]` including `mockAccess` (undocumented but public).
+- **Bundlers and frameworks**: see §1.3 `[ruling: D3; doc: routing/file-based-routing.md:116-129; start guide/hosting.md:7; type: router-generator config target enum; router-plugin framework-options.ts]`.
+- **Modes**: dev (Vite dev server incl. full-bundle mode, Rsbuild dev, webpack dev) and build (production), for each
+  env the bundler/Start creates.
+- **Plugin options**: all of `router-plugin/src/core/config.ts` (`autoCodeSplitting`, `codeSplittingOptions.{
+splitBehavior, defaultBehavior, deleteNodes, addHmr }`, `plugin.hmr.style`, `plugin.vite.environmentName`),
+  all of `router-generator/src/config.ts`, and `tanstackStart({ router, serverFns.generateFunctionId, importProtection,
+rsc, srcDirectory, … })` `[type: start-plugin-core/src/schema.ts]`. Which clauses a switch turns on or off: J2.21,
+  J3.7, J6.3, J7.1.

+## 3. Cross-cutting rules (G)
+
+- **G1 Semantics are preserved.** For every env, the compiled program behaves as the source program would in that
+  env under the documented runtime contract: same rendered output, same loader/handler results, same thrown errors,
+  same `Route` object, same exports an importer sees. Every emitted module parses and evaluates (no new free names
+  outside dead code, G8). `[R1]`
+- **G2 Only what is needed ships to each environment and chunk.** Code an env or chunk cannot execute is absent:
+  server-only code in the client (hard, J4.12), split options in the route module (J2.5), code a chunk does not
+  need (D5), modules imported only for types (L3). Compiler-level tests assert what the compiler alone decides
+  (including the contents of the split modules it emits, within J2.5's D5 boundary); final chunk/bundle contents
+  are build-level assertions per bundler, varying `sideEffects`/`@__PURE__` hints.
+  `[ruling: first review rulings, L3, D5; R2]`
+- **G3 Surviving effects: once per environment, ordering dependencies kept, never duplicated or lost.** Preserve
+  the observable effects and ordering dependencies of executable code that survives for an environment, subject to
+  the explicit environment-removal, type-only-import, dead-code-elimination and initializer-timing rulings (server-
+  only code on the client, J4; client-only code on the server, J4.11 — preferred for neutral names, required for
+  `*.client.*`/marker files; type-only imports, L3/J2.5; split options moved to chunks, J2.5; `deleteNodes`, J2.14;
+  ordinary dead-code elimination under R2/G8). Splitting must not duplicate an effect across derived modules or lose
+  an effect required by executed surviving code. Shared module state initializes once when evaluated, and every
+  consumer observes the same value and instance (J2.4). Eager versus lazy initialization of a shared binding is not
+  pinned; tests must not indirectly pin it by requiring an otherwise unpinned position in an effect trace, and must
+  not force an unrequested lazy module to load. This freedom does not permit reversing ordinary surviving
+  order-dependent effects, changing required results, or duplicating initialization. Printed statement/import order
+  is free. Oracle boundary: a registration/configuration outcome detects illegal reordering; an initializer counter
+  plus real consumers detects duplication and inconsistent values; a single total source-order trace covering eager
+  and movable initializers is not a valid universal oracle. `[ruling: first review rulings, L3, client-only declarations on the server; R3]`
+- **G4 Determinism.** Identical effective source identities, configuration, compilation mode and environment
+  produce deterministic observable output (ids, module graph shape, warnings), independent of incidental scan,
+  request or processing order. Within each build or dev session, callers and providers agree on protocol ids, and
+  server/client hydration identities agree for corresponding boundaries. Production server-function ids satisfy the
+  documented default hashing, collision handling and customization contract (J4.4); development may use
+  implementation-specific module locators, and ids need not match between modes. Path-bearing configuration
+  (`importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths`, cwd-relative `tmpDir`) and custom generators (`generateFunctionId`) may depend
+  on their resolved inputs. Relocating a project must preserve correct compilation, runtime behaviour and
+  within-build identity agreement, but equality of opaque ids between the original and relocated builds is not
+  required absent an explicit relocation-stability contract — the docs promise stable, path-concealing hashes and
+  recommend deterministic inputs, not root independence `[doc: guide/server-functions.md:417-430]`. Route ids and
+  paths must still follow their documented routing conventions (J1.4, J1.5), which is what makes the generated route
+  tree independent of cwd and OS path separators. `[R4]`
+- **G5 Diagnostics: never fail silently.** Unsupported input yields a clear error, a warning, or a safe
+  non-transform; never silently wrong output. When a user-fixable pattern prevents the intended transform, the user
+  is told once per file (naming the file and, where applicable, the option/API), in every mode. When the obstacle is
+  our own limitation, that is a bug to fix (goal pin), not a warning to document. Errors about the user's source
+  carry a position/code frame in the user's file; configuration or resolution errors name the actionable
+  file/option and need no fabricated source position. `[ruling: D11, D14; R5]`
+- **G6 Source maps.** Every emitted module derived from user source (route modules, split chunks, Start
+  client/ssr/provider output, Hydrate chunks, rewritten import-protection modules) carries a map so stack traces
+  and import-protection reports resolve to the user's original line and column, through composed maps when other
+  plugins transformed the file first. Purely generated support code (registries, mock helpers) needs no fictitious
+  user mapping. Exact map layout is free. Publishing stripped server text through `sourcesContent` is a known
+  limitation, not a requirement (D1). This holds in dev as in build: the dev server serves maps for the route
+  module and every derived module (split chunk, shared module, Start client/provider module), so a thrown error
+  or a breakpoint resolves to the user's file and line. `[ruling: D1; R6]`
+- **G7 Nothing dev-only in production.** Production artifacts contain no additions whose purpose is exclusively
+  development: HMR accept/dispose code, hot-data wrappers, dev-only warnings/diagnostics, development mock
+  modules, `console` diagnostics gated for development. Explicitly configured production behaviour stays: a
+  production `importProtection.behavior: 'mock'` and its `mockAccess` diagnostics `[doc: import-protection.md: 85-145; type: schema.ts:34-42]`. Build-time console output is allowed on a successful build when it is required
+  or configured: not-split warnings (J2.8), import-protection reports, generator logs unless `disableLogging`
+  (J1.12). G7 targets additions by purpose, not spellings: tests identify dev-only support (including renamed or
+  imported support) by comparing with a real build where the feature is off, and do not ban every occurrence of
+  a workspace path or every success log (only J4.4 forbids path leaks, in default server-function ids). `[ruling: D11; R7]`
+- **G8 Dead code may dangle.** A compiled module may reference an undefined name inside code that never runs, if every
+  supported bundler deletes that code in the production build. A dangling name that survives into a production client
+  bundle is a bug. Validators approximate "deleted by the bundler" with real bundler tree-shaking, never a narrower
+  hand-rolled rule. The check runs on the artifact actually emitted under its effective settings (an unminified
+  build is checked unminified, not through a separately minified copy), and a name that is a real global of the
+  target environment (`window`, `name`, `status`, …) is not dangling; a dropped local is detected from binding
+  evidence, not from the global's spelling. The check covers exactly the modules the compilers under test produced
+  or changed: user and route modules after our transforms, split chunks, virtual and support modules, and any
+  dependency module one of our plugins transformed. Inside that scope every free name counts, unless the module's
+  original source already reads it free (valid third-party code such as a function only ever `.toString()`-ed).
+  Modules no compiler under test touched are out of scope: what a bundler does inside them (Rspack and webpack drop
+  some bindings in unminified dead code) is not the compiler's defect. `[ruling: dangling names]`
+- **G9 Exported bindings: one instance, free export lists, black-box names.** Every export something actually imports
+  (another module, test file, other route) keeps working with the same value and the same instance the owning module
+  uses; the module's export list may otherwise grow or shrink. Generated identifier names, virtual-module ids and
+  query strings are not observable contracts. `[ruling: P1, generated names, exported Route readers]`
+- **G10 Hot updates over reloads.** Where a hot update is feasible, dev edits must not full-reload (client or server);
+  tests may require "no full reload" there and never require a full reload. Which in-memory state survives is the
+  bundler's business: no server-state preservation requirement. `[ruling: dev edits and full reloads]`
+- **G11 Compilers compose.** When several jobs touch one module (Start compiler + splitter + Hydrate + RSC CSS + route
+  HMR + import-protection rewrite), every clause holds on the final output, in every order the wiring may apply them.
+  For a user plugin order the docs do not support (e.g. a JSX plugin registered before the router plugin), a
+  correct result or an actionable order diagnostic are both acceptable; neither a refusal of a working order nor
+  a specific message is required. Module identity follows the participating environment's resolver and loader:
+  compiler dependency discovery and generated virtual modules resolve through the host (aliases, conditional
+  exports, symlinked packages); module identities whose behaviour differs (meaningful queries or virtual ids, a
+  package's `react-server` versus default export) are never conflated, while identical ones may be shared. The
+  documented alias setups (`resolve.tsconfigPaths` on Vite, tsconfig `paths` on Rsbuild) compose with every job; a
+  third-party resolver plugin such as vite-tsconfig-paths is a user plugin under the previous sentence, and a
+  silent import-protection bypass through it is not a "correct result". `[cs: each feature is documented independently of the others; doc: start guide/path-aliases.md; start-plugin-core/AGENTS.md:3]`
+- **G12 Printing fidelity.** Code the compiler does not own is reproduced with identical semantics: directives,
+  pragmas (their effective JSX-runtime decision, J2.16), comments where feasible, parentheses required by
+  precedence, string escapes. License comments (`/*!`, `@license`, `@preserve`) stay in the source module when the
+  splitter moves or removes the code below them; other orphaned comments are free (R-14). R-14 binds the splitter
+  only: where the Start compiler (server-function handler extraction, environment functions, Hydrate extraction)
+  and the import-protection rewrite put license comments is free, with no test either way. Upstream printer bugs
+  that change meaning are our bugs from the user's point of view. `[ruling: R-14, OQ12; R1]`
+- **G13 Mode parity.** In each mode, compilation preserves the behaviour required by that mode's effective
+  configuration and public runtime contract. Equivalent settings preserve equivalent application semantics, subject
+  to documented mode-specific behaviour. Import-protection mock/error policy (J6.3), diagnostics, HMR and
+  implementation-id representation (J4.4) may differ as configured or documented; these differences are not parity
+  failures. For the same effective configuration, which options are split, how they are grouped and which options
+  `deleteNodes` removes are the same in dev and build. ` [doc: guide/automatic-code-splitting.md:27 (transform in development and at build); doc: guide/import-protection.md:85-145; type: schema.ts:24-32]`
+- **G14 Idempotence is not required.** See 2.2 (recompiling output).
+- **G15 Recognition is by binding identity, not spelling.** Every compiler recognises its APIs through the lexical
+  binding and its module provenance (import from the TanStack package, through the supported alias/re-export/factory
+  forms of each job). A locally declared or shadowed `createServerFn`/`Hydrate`/`createFileRoute`, the same name
+  exported by an unrelated package, and unrelated `.handler()`/`.server()`/`.client()`/`.validator()` methods are
+  left untouched with their own semantics; generated names never collide with user bindings. For route-file
+  upkeep, the generator may recognise and repair the designated `Route` declaration's missing factory import under
+  J1.1; pre-existing import provenance is not required for that repair. This exception does not authorise rewriting
+  unrelated or shadowed user bindings. Semantic transforms must distinguish genuine APIs from look-alikes. `[doc: deferred-hydration.md:667-695]`

+- **J1.1** When a route file's location (or the virtual config) implies a route path, the string literal in
+  `createFileRoute('…')` / `createLazyFileRoute('…')` is inserted or rewritten to that path, and the factory import
+  is added from the target framework's router package if missing. Root files use `createRootRoute*` without a path.
+  Modes: dev (watch) and the `generate` command. When the existing argument is not a string literal (an identifier,
+  a template literal), replacing it with the correct literal (J1.2 still holds elsewhere) and an actionable
+  diagnostic naming the file are both acceptable; tests accept either outcome `[ruling: valid alternative compilers]`. `[doc: api/router/createFileRouteFunction.md:15-22; createLazyFileRouteFunction.md:15]`
+- **J1.2** Nothing else in the file changes: other statements, comments, formatting, line endings and the file's
+  encoding are byte-preserved outside the edited literal/import. Newly scaffolded files follow `quoteStyle` and
+  `semicolons`. Within the edited argument the quote character is free; an edited import keeps its other
+  bindings, aliases and type/value meaning; keeping or removing a factory import the edit made unused (e.g.
+  `createFileRoute` after a switch to `createLazyFileRoute`) are both allowed. Filesystem metadata (mode, owner)
+  is outside this clause (§1.2). `[doc: api/file-based-routing.md:171-187]`
+- **J1.3** An empty route file is scaffolded from the default template or `customScaffolding.{routeTemplate,
+lazyRouteTemplate}`; `.lazy.tsx`/`.lazy.ts` files get the lazy template (a `.lazy.vue` piece is an SFC, not a
+  route module, and gets no TypeScript route scaffold, J1.17). `[ruling: unknown template tag, .lazy.vue; type: router-generator config customScaffolding]`
+- **J1.4** The generated route tree (`generatedRouteTree`) contains exactly the routes the conventions and options
+  select from the route files (prefix/ignore options, tokens, `(group)` folders, `[x]` escaping, `-` prefix
+  exclusion, `_` pathless, `_` suffix un-nesting, `$` params, `$` splat, `__virtual.ts`, `physical()`) plus the
+  virtual anchor routes the docs promise for deleted/lazy-only route files `[doc: guide/code-splitting.md:222-224]`,
+  with the paths of the docs' tables, the right parent links and lazy/piece attachments, and with `disableTypes`,
+  `addExtensions`, `importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths`, `routeTreeFileHeader/Footer`, `enableRouteTreeFormatting`
+  honoured. Tests assert hierarchy, ids, paths, parent links and what an importing router sees — not an exact emitted
+  tree text. `[doc: routing/file-based-routing.md tables; file-naming-conventions.md; virtual-file-routes.md; api/file-based-routing.md]`
+- **J1.5** The route tree is deterministic (G4): independent of directory scan order, cwd (except for outputs that
+  are cwd-relative by configuration), OS path separators, and process. `[R4]`
+- **J1.6** Writes are atomic (temp file in `tmpDir` + rename; beside the destination when `tmpDir` is on another
+  device, J1.16) and the generator never leaves a route file or the tree half-written. Every supported file name (2.1, including apostrophes and other quote characters) produces a valid
+  tree: import specifiers, ids and paths are escaped as needed; a tree that would not parse is a generator bug. A
+  clear error naming the file is acceptable only for a file name the conventions genuinely do not support. `[doc: api/file-based-routing.md:264-271; cs: generated code is code]`
+- **J1.7** Conflicting route paths produce an error naming the conflicting files (absolute or project-relative
+  names, unambiguous, §5.7). Only genuinely conflicting routes require it: a single route mounted through an
+  empty-prefix `physical('', dir)` is not a conflict by itself. `[doc: virtual-file-routes.md:294-329]`
+- **J1.8** A route's URL path is decided by its placement (directory, dots, pathless `_` segments) and never by
+  which companion files exist: a pathless layout present only as `_auth.lazy.tsx` (or only as a Vue component piece)
+  still prefixes its children with the enclosing directory path, exactly as a non-lazy `_auth.tsx` would. `[doc: routing/file-based-routing.md:44-47 (pathless layout under directory)]`
+- **J1.9** The props the generator records from a `createFileRoute` call (used to prune server-only routes and to
+  discover prerenderable paths) are best effort for spread/computed keys, and the fallback is safe: a route is never
+  pruned from the client tree, and never skipped for prerendering, because a key was missed. `[ruling: first review rulings]`
+- **J1.10** In dev, adding, removing or changing a route file regenerates the tree and the live app reflects it (a
+  reload is acceptable here); the generator must not miss a delivered edit (G10 does not apply to tree changes). How
+  changes are detected (mtime, content hash, watcher events) is free. Generation settles: one delivered edit
+  leads to a bounded number of regenerations and never to a regeneration or reload loop, and closing the dev
+  server or watch session that owns the generator stops its watching. Edits of the file named by
+  `virtualRouteConfig` (path form), of `__virtual.ts` files and of route files under `physical()` mounts are
+  delivered edits like route-directory files (modules the virtual config itself imports: OQ17c). How unchanged
+  writes are suppressed is mechanism. `[doc: installation/with-router-cli.md "whenever a file is added, removed, or changed"; doc: routing/virtual-file-routes.md; router-generator/AGENTS.md:3 "avoid watcher loops"]`
+- **J1.11** Withdrawn: the option it described was removed from the product (#8737). The id stays unused.
+- **J1.12** Honour `disableLogging` for the route-generation logging it controls; otherwise those logs may appear in
+  dev or build. This clause does not prohibit actionable warnings or errors permitted or required by G5 (e.g. a
+  non-route source file under the routes directory that exports no `Route`: warn, explain the exclusion options,
+  omit it), and does not mandate an exact console transcript: neither a success message nor warnings about unusual
+  but valid param names are required. `[doc: api/file-based-routing.md:228-232; R5]`
+- **J1.13 Types describe the runtime tree.** With types enabled, the generated type linkages (route ids, full paths,
+  parent/child relations, params) agree with the runtime tree the same file emits, including virtual anchors and
+  pathless layouts under directories; with `disableTypes` the documented JavaScript tree is emitted. `[doc: routing/file-based-routing.md:15 (type-safety promise)]`
+- **J1.14 Pathless layout under a lazy-only route (PIN-A).** When a route exists only as a lazy file
+  (`posts.lazy.tsx`, no `posts.tsx`) and a pathless layout with children sits under its directory
+  (`posts/_layout.tsx`), the lazy-only route's virtual anchor is the layout's parent: `_layout` nests under `/posts`
+  and its children's paths are prefixed accordingly (the anchor the docs promise for lazy-only route files, J1.4).
+  Attaching the layout to the next real ancestor is a bug (pin against current main). Distinct from J1.8, which
+  fixes the enclosing path regardless of companion files. `[ruling: PIN-A; doc: guide/code-splitting.md: 222-224; generator.ts:1414-1424 (related shape)]`
+- **J1.15 Childless pathless layout.** A pathless layout file without children (`routes/_auth.tsx` next to
+  `routes/index.tsx`, no `_auth.*` pages yet) is a valid, if useless, route: the tree contains `/` and the `_auth`
+  layout, and no error is raised; the same holds for `_auth.lazy.tsx`. The current "Conflicting configuration
+  paths" error is a bug (pin). J1.7 still applies to genuinely conflicting paths. `[ruling: childless pathless layout; doc: routing/file-naming-conventions.md:35]`
+- **J1.16 `tmpDir` on another device (K-19).** When `tmpDir` resolves to a different filesystem than the
+  destination (rename fails with EXDEV), the generator still publishes atomically: it writes a temp file beside the
+  destination and renames it there. Copy+unlink is not acceptable (a reader can observe partial content); a hard
+  error demanding the same device is not the chosen behaviour. J1.6's atomicity promise holds on every device
+  layout. `[ruling: K-19; doc: api/file-based-routing.md:264-271]`
+- **J1.17 `.lazy.vue` is a lazily loaded component piece.** `x.lazy.vue` next to `x.vue`/`x.tsx` supplies route
+  `x`'s `component` lazily from the SFC default export; it is not a lazy _route_ module (an SFC cannot export a
+  `createLazyFileRoute` route) and an empty `.lazy.vue` must not be scaffolded with TypeScript route code. The
+  current wiring (`generator.ts:770-796` loads `d.default` through `.lazy()`; TS scaffold) is a bug (pin). J1.8
+  (path never depends on pieces) and G5 (no silent broken import) hold throughout. `[ruling: .lazy.vue; doc: guide/code-splitting.md:107-114]`
+
+### J2 Route code splitting (router-plugin)
+
+- **J2.1 Which modules.** Only file route modules are processed, and inside them only the `createFileRoute` /
+  `createRootRoute` / `createRootRouteWithContext` call bound to `Route`. `createLazyFileRoute` modules are not split
+  further; non-route modules and code-based routes are returned unchanged. Vite, Rsbuild/Rspack, webpack; React,
+  Solid, Vue. `[ruling: one route per file; doc: guide/code-splitting.md:74]`
+- **J2.2 Which options and groupings.** Only `component`, `errorComponent`, `pendingComponent`,
+  `notFoundComponent`, `loader` are split. Grouping precedence: `codeSplitGroupings` in the file > `splitBehavior({
+routeId })` > `defaultBehavior` > the default `[['component'],['errorComponent'],['notFoundComponent']]`; a property
+  may appear in at most one group; options in one group load as one unit and different groups stay independently
+  lazy (§5.3). `[doc: guide/automatic-code-splitting.md:53-75,187-195; type: router-plugin config splitGroupingsSchema]`
+- **J2.3 Behaviour identical.** A split route renders, errors, pends, not-founds and loads exactly as the unsplit
+  route; everything not configured for splitting (path parsing, search validation, `beforeLoad`, context, `head`,
+  `scripts`, `staticData`, `ssr`, `server`, `headers`, …) stays eager in the route module. `[doc: guide/code-splitting.md:13-31; R1]`
+- **J2.4 One instance.** Preserve observable shared identity, state and once-only effects across the route, its
+  actual importers and its chunks: `Route`, module state, and every exported function/class/constant (importers of
+  a route-module export and the route itself get the same object; a copy of an exported declaration in a chunk is a
+  bug even when it is "stateless", because its identity is observable through the import). Required pure helpers
+  with unobservable identity may be copied or rewritten (§5.3). Prove identity through real consumers and effects,
+  not declaration counts. `[ruling: P1, exported Route readers, D5]`
+- **J2.5 Each chunk holds only what it needs.** The split option's code (and bindings only it uses) is absent from the
+  route module; an import used only for types is dropped, so the imported module never loads in the client for that
+  reason. Separately, a compiler-emitted split module must not carry unrelated source declarations or dependencies
+  that its configured split group does not need; "needed" includes the group's transitive dependencies, required
+  effects and compiler/runtime support. D5 permits compiler-level inspection proving that a particular unrelated
+  declaration or dependency is absent, including a count of zero when that check identifies the unwanted code
+  independently of generated names and formatting `[ruling: D5]`. It does not permit fixing the total number of declarations, a required textual shape, or a particular
+  valid placement of shared code. Oracle boundary: an unused unrelated exported class copied into a component chunk
+  fails even if never called; an extra helper actually needed to implement that component does not fail merely
+  because it increases the declaration count; a shared dependency needed by another legitimate consumer must not be
+  misclassified as an unused copy in this chunk. Also check final bundle contents per supported bundler, on
+  production output with side-effect hints varied; that does not replace the compiler-level D5 obligation. `[ruling: D5, L3; R2]`
+- **J2.6 Lazy loading contract.** Split options are loaded on demand and behave under the framework/router's public
+  lazy contract: split components are preloadable before render (the route's `component.preload()`, so intent
+  preloading keeps working) and render correctly afterwards; split loaders run on demand with the same result.
+  Whether the compiler emits `lazyRouteComponent`/`lazyFn` calls or an equivalent is mechanism; tests observe
+  laziness through the real router (preload, render, loader call) and the modules actually requested, never by
+  recognising a helper constructor, and may not require exactly one directly imported target per group (§5.3,
+  §5.8). `[doc: api/router/lazyRouteComponentFunction.md:9,27-29; type: framework-options.ts]`
+- **J2.7 Root route.** The root `component` is always rendered and need not be split; root `errorComponent` /
+  `notFoundComponent` should be split (goal pin; keeping root unsplit is acceptable but not preferred). `[ruling: D12; doc: routing/routing-concepts.md:49-51]` (conflicts with `guide/code-splitting.md:105`, see §7.)
+- **J2.8 Not split → user informed, never broken.** Every option configured for splitting ends up split. If a
+  user-fixable pattern prevents it (e.g. the option's declaration is exported _and_ eagerly imported elsewhere, or a
+  side-effectful initialiser with no purity hint), the option keeps working in the route module with one instance,
+  and the build/dev run warns once naming the file and the option, in every mode. If our analysis is the obstacle,
+  that is a bug. Options the compiler cannot read statically — an options object imported from another module
+  (`createFileRoute('/x')(options)` with `import { options } from './x.options'`), factory-built options, a cast
+  it does not unwrap — fall under this clause: split correctly or report once naming the file (the dev
+  full-reload allowance for factory-built options stands). Under Start the client build never ships their
+  `ssr`/`server`/`headers` silently: they are removed, or the build reports/fails clearly (J2.14, J4.12).
+  `[ruling: D11, D14, first review rulings, route options from a function call]`
+- **J2.9 Best-effort shapes.** Method shorthand options must be splittable (or refreshable) like any other. Spread
+  or computed option keys: best effort, safe fallback (J1.9), never a silent wrong split. Initialiser timing of
+  shared bindings is not pinned: run once, same value everywhere. `[ruling: first review rulings]`
+- **J2.10 Same-file route factory (R-09).** Either a correct split (renders, hot-updates) or unsplit plus a warning
+  naming the file, in every mode; crashes or rendering the wrong component are bugs. `[ruling: R-09]`
+- **J2.11 Two `createFileRoute` calls in one module.** Never silently swap components: each renders its own, or the
+  compiler warns/errors naming the file. `[ruling: one route per file]`
+- **J2.12 Bindings the route module still reads stay declared.** Moving an option's declaration never removes an
+  import or declaration another surviving statement (an exported wrapper, `head()`, an unsplit option, a top-level
+  call) reads; the route module stays a valid module (G1, G8). `[cs: a module with a dangling live reference throws at load]`
+- **J2.13 Dev mode.** Splitting also happens in dev; virtual chunk modules resolve in every bundler's dev server;
+  removing a split option the page had loaded must not break the page. `[doc: guide/automatic-code-splitting.md:27; G10]`
+- **J2.14 `deleteNodes`.** Options named in `codeSplittingOptions.deleteNodes` are removed from the route module of
+  that env together with code only they used; Start sets `['ssr','server','headers']` on the client so the `ssr`
+  function, server handlers and `headers` never reach the client. `[type: router-plugin config deleteNodes; doc: guide/selective-ssr.md:133; wiring: start-plugin-core vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts:166; rsbuild/start-router-plugin.ts:76]`
+- **J2.15 Client route tree pruning (Start).** Routes whose only `createFileRoute` prop is `server`, with only such
+  descendants, are removed from the client route tree, on Vite and Rsbuild alike. Everything else survives: every
+  route with a client-visible prop, and every ancestor a surviving route needs — including a server-only-configured
+  ancestor of a surviving child (`pruneServerOnlySubtrees.ts:29-50`). Server and provider trees keep all routes and
+  handlers. Unknown or spread-derived props never cause pruning (J1.9). `[ruling: Rsbuild route-tree parity; wiring: pruneServerOnlySubtrees.ts]`
+- **J2.16 JSX runtime.** A chunk compiles its JSX under the same runtime/pragma semantics as its source module: the
+  project's real JSX transform must select the same runtime for the chunk as it would for the untouched file. For a
+  non-leading pragma comment (`/** @jsxImportSource … */` after the imports) the compiler preserves the original
+  file's effective decision — a pragma the transform ignores in the untouched file (Oxc/esbuild honour leading
+  comments only; Babel any) must not become effective in a chunk: keep it non-leading or omit it (D-04). Warning plus
+  leaving the file unsplit is also acceptable (J2.8). Tests assert the rendered outcome only, never comment
+  placement or the emitted runtime-import spelling; the oracle compiles the untouched and the compiled module with
+  the project's real JSX transform and its real configured defaults (automatic or classic), and lets that transform
+  interpret the pragmas — no universal "a pragma means classic" rule. `[ruling: D-04; R1]`
+- **J2.17 Deprecated `assert` attributes** in a route module are printed as `with`. `[ruling: D9]`
+- **J2.18 esbuild.** Either splitting works or the plugin refuses clearly (error naming esbuild and
+  `autoCodeSplitting`). A warning on a successful unsplit build is not a refusal. `[ruling: D3]`
+- **J2.19 Warning wording is free** (J2.8 only fixes file + option); warnings are printed once per file per run. `[ruling: D14]`
+- **J2.20 Hydrate inside a split component** keeps working: wherever the component's code lands (chunk or shared
+  module), the boundary renders with every binding it needs and its child chunk loads (G11); a dangling generated
+  name is a bug. `[cs: both features are documented]`
+- **J2.21 When splitting applies.** J2.2–J2.20 apply to enabled, applicable transforms, subject to the explicit
+  exceptions in §2.2: standalone Router with `autoCodeSplitting: true` (default `false`; CLI-only generation never
+  splits `[doc: api/file-based-routing.md:189-198; guide/code-splitting.md:74-75]`); Start enables the splitter in
+  its normal supported wiring and does not expose `autoCodeSplitting` (§1.1). With splitting off, route modules
+  reach the bundler unsplit and J2.14/J2.15 still apply where Start wires them.
+
+### J3 Route HMR (dev only)
+
+- **J3.1 In-place update.** Editing a file route module in dev updates the live route on the running router without
+  a full reload: non-component options (loader, beforeLoad, head, validateSearch, …) are replaced; matching and
+  navigation use the new options (stale derived route state is invalidated; how is mechanism); generated options
+  (`id`, `path`, `getParentRoute`) stay on the live route; the active match re-renders with the new options. Vite and
+  Rsbuild/Rspack (webpack lower priority); React, Solid, Vue. `[ruling: dev edits and full reloads; type: HmrOptions]`
+- **J3.2 Component identity is kept for compatible edits.** For compatible hot updates, preserve the router-owned
+  component/lazy-wrapper identity required by D10, including Solid and Vue split components, and show the new
+  component code. Where the framework's supported refresh behaviour can retain the mounted component and its state
+  for that edit, the compiler/router must not cause a remount or state reset; such a remount fails the test.
+  Compatibility is determined by the real framework's refresh contract, not merely an unchanged component name or
+  family (React Refresh, for instance, remounts class components, changed hook signatures and forced resets even
+  within one family). Framework-required replacement, including incompatible hook signatures or component kinds, is
+  allowed without an unconditional descendant-state guarantee. Renames and other family replacements must display
+  the new component (J3.3). A framework subtree replacement is distinct from a full reload; full reloads remain
+  governed by G10 and the explicit factory-options exception (2.2, J3.3). Test both split and unsplit cases with
+  real framework tooling (§8). Oracle boundary: a compatible body-only edit that loses state because the router
+  recreates its wrapper must fail; an edit the real framework must remount must not fail solely for that remount;
+  "where possible" does not excuse a missing compiler capability that D10 makes a goal. `[ruling: D10, dev edits and full reloads]`
+- **J3.3 Every edit takes effect.** After an edit, the page shows the new code: new component body, renamed component
+  (a new Refresh family), new split loader (even when only the chunk changed and the route module did not), an added
+  or removed option (including a removed split option the page had loaded), with or without the framework's refresh
+  plugin. A full reload is acceptable only for factory-built options (2.2). `[ruling: route options from a function call; cs: the purpose of HMR is to see the edit]`
+- **J3.4 Correct target.** The update applies to the route whose id the current tree assigns, not to a stale id kept
+  in hot data from a previous version. `[R4]`
+- **J3.5 Root route.** Root route edits, including adding/editing/removing `shellComponent`, hot-update. `[ruling: shellComponent]`
+- **J3.6 Start server side.** Editing a module only server-function handlers read does not full-reload the server;
+  the next call runs the new handler code. This also holds with RSC enabled (separate provider): a route module
+  that also defines a server function keeps receiving client route hot updates (J3.1–J3.3), and a handler edit
+  takes effect on the next call, without a full reload where a hot update is feasible (G10). `[ruling: dev edits and full reloads]`
+- **J3.7 Nothing in production.** No `import.meta.hot`, `import.meta.webpackHot`, `module.hot` or hot-data wrappers
+  in any production output; with `addHmr: false` none in any output; Start's server env never carries route HMR code.
+  Start forces `addHmr: true` for its client splitter, so no HMR-disabled Start build exists: the router-level
+  paired build (the same splitter with `addHmr: false`) decides whether HMR support leaks into production, and
+  Start's own dev tests cover the graph it serves. `[ruling: HMR in Start production builds; R7; type: addHmr;
+wiring plugin.ts:180]`
+- **J3.8 Without an HMR runtime** (no `import.meta.hot`, or `hot` without `data`), the module still evaluates and
+  `Route` works (the same module serves SSR in dev). `[cs: dev SSR evaluates route modules without a hot API]`
+- **J3.9 Both styles.** `plugin.hmr.style: 'vite'` (accept-callback semantics) and `'webpack'` (re-execution
+  semantics, used by the rspack/webpack entries) satisfy J3.1–J3.4. `[type: HmrOptions]`
+- **J3.10 Route tree edits in dev** (new route file, route kind change) reach the client tree and the page (reload
+  allowed, J1.10).
+
+### J4 Start environment separation (start-compiler)
+
+- **J4.1 `createServerFn` on the client.** The handler, the server function's validation step, and everything only
+  they reference are absent; the exported value is still a callable server function with the same `method`/options
+  and middleware list, calling the server by id over HTTP; `.url` works for forms. A schema or helper that surviving
+  client code also uses independently stays (its absence is not required merely because it is also a validator).
+  `[doc: guide/server-functions.md:134-150,395-397,484; guide/import-protection.md:329-362; runtime: start-client-core createServerFn.ts:305-308 validates on the server only]`
+- **J4.2 `createServerFn` on the provider.** The handler runs with its original semantics and closure; the function
+  is registered under its id so an HTTP call by id (with validation and middleware) executes it; module top-level
+  code of the defining module runs once in that env even when the handler is extracted into a provider module.
+  Only server functions the client references are HTTP-callable (bug pin). Calling a server function from server
+  code is documented ("Other server functions - Compose server logic"): a server function that only server code
+  calls (another server function's handler, a middleware `.server()`, an SSR-only module) works for those callers in
+  every production build, whether or not the client build discovered it and in any module processing order (G4).
+  D6 restricts only direct HTTP calls by id of a function no client code references. `[ruling: D6, P2; doc: guide/server-functions.md:8,72-76]`
+- **J4.3 `createServerFn` during SSR.** Calling a server function while rendering runs the handler directly (no
+  browser HTTP fetch) with the same result as an HTTP call `[doc: guide/middleware.md:805-806]`. When SSR and the
+  provider share one environment, the handler may stay in the SSR module or be looked up by id — tests assert
+  behaviour only `[ruling: P2]`. When the provider is a
+  separate environment (RSC: `react-start-rsc/src/plugin/vite.ts:50-59` forwards SSR lookups into the `rsc` env,
+  whose runtime exports exist only there, `:160-166`), the handler executes in the provider environment with its
+  module-resolution conditions; forwarding/lookup is allowed, its mechanism is free.
+- **J4.4 Ids.** _Build_: function ids are deterministic for unchanged input, identical in client, ssr and provider
+  output of one build, de-duplicated with `_1`, `_2`… on collision, hashed by default (no path leak), and overridable
+  through `serverFns.generateFunctionId({ filename, functionName })` (experimental) `[doc: guide/server-functions.md:417-430 "for production build"; compiler.ts:637-669]`. _Dev_: an implementation-specific
+  lookup id is allowed (`compiler.ts:614-634` encodes the module for direct lookup); within one dev session every
+  caller and the provider agree on it; ids need not match between dev and build (G13). A by-id request for a
+  module the running dev server has not compiled yet (a page left open across a dev-server restart) compiles that
+  module on demand and is served. Generated handler/variable
+  names are a black box. The form of the `filename` passed to `generateFunctionId` (relative or absolute) is not
+  specified: tests derive the expected id from the arguments actually received. Adding or editing declarations
+  changes the effective input, so ids need not survive edits; repeatability is required for unchanged input only.
+  `generateFunctionId` is a build contract; dev ids may or may not use it. `[ruling: generated names, D2]`
+- **J4.5 Recognition.** All Start builders are recognised through renamed imports, namespace members, re-exports,
+  aliases (`export const createFooServerFn = createServerFn`), builders stored in variables and continued later
+  (`const base = createServerFn().validator(s); export const f = base.handler(h)`), user factories/wrappers in other
+  modules, `createStart(...).createMiddleware`, `.middleware([...])` chains that return callable builders, and
+  re-exports under string export names (`export { createServerFn as 'create server fn' }`), which must work.
+  A configured builder passed in another builder's `.middleware([...])` (`const authed =
+createServerFn().middleware([auth])`, then `createServerFn().middleware([authed]).handler(…)`) contributes its
+  middleware list. Option objects given by identifier or spread (`createServerFn({ ...opts })`) are ordinary
+  input. Unrecognised shapes must not silently leak (J4.12): for a builder method called through a computed member
+  (`createServerFn()['handler'](…)`, `createMiddleware()['server'](…)`) or a server-only fn whose result is
+  member-called (`createServerOnlyFn(…).bind(null)`), the client holds no server code, or the build fails with an
+  error at the call `[ruling: restored corpus inputs]`. Look-alikes are left alone (G15). `[doc: middleware.md:817-896; server-functions.md:134-150; type: createStart.ts:74; type: start-client-core createServerFn.ts:91-110,581]`
+- **J4.6 Declaration sites.** Server functions declared at module top level work everywhere. A `createServerFn`
+  nested inside a function works when the handler captures no local binding (goal pin). When it captures locals or
+  is otherwise not extractable, the compiler either preserves the complete environment/RPC semantics safely (client
+  calls by id reach a server handler with the same observable result; nothing leaks) or reports a clear error naming
+  the unsupported capture; a broken or leaking function is a bug. Other positions (default export, assignment,
+  object property, class field, block) likewise work or error clearly; a server fn declared in a top-level `{ }`
+  block works, or fails with a clear error naming the file. `[ruling: D13, restored corpus inputs; R5]`
+- **J4.7 Import form independence.** A module's compiled client output does not depend on how importers import it
+  (static, dynamic, re-export, barrel); dynamic import is discouraged but never leaks server code. `[doc: server-functions.md:152-158; G2]`
+- **J4.8 `createMiddleware`.** Client: `.server()` implementations and `.validator()` code (and their imports) are
+  removed for both request and function middleware; `.client()` is kept and runs. Server: nothing is removed.
+  Middleware built in factories/functions or via `createStart` follows the same rule, and so does global middleware
+  listed in `createStart(() => ({ requestMiddleware, functionMiddleware }))` in `src/start.ts`: that module is part
+  of the client bundle, the listed middlewares' `.server()`/`.validator()` code is absent there, and a global
+  function middleware's `.client()` runs on every client call. `[doc: guide/middleware.md:415-503,808-815]`
+- **J4.9 `createIsomorphicFn`.** Client keeps only `.client()`, server keeps only `.server()`; a missing
+  implementation is a no-op returning `undefined`; the other env's implementation and its imports are absent; links
+  stored in variables or returned from factories keep their implementation. `[doc: guide/environment-functions.md:17-85,117-121]`
+- **J4.10 `createServerOnlyFn` / `createClientOnlyFn`.** In the owning env the function runs unchanged; in the other
+  env calling it throws an actionable runtime error that identifies the environment restriction (the docs' messages
+  illustrate it; exact prose is free, §5.7), and the wrapped body plus imports only it used are gone. `[doc: environment-functions.md:88-123; import-protection.md:406-429]`
+- **J4.11 `<ClientOnly>`.** Server envs render only the `fallback` (children removed); modules that only the children
+  use are not loaded on the server when import protection denies them (`*.client.*`, markers), and preferably for
+  neutral names too (not required). Client keeps the children. Only the TanStack `ClientOnly` import is transformed.
+  `[ruling: client-only declarations on the server; doc: api/router/clientOnlyComponent.md]`
+- **J4.12 Hard rule: no server code in the client.** Handler bodies, `.server()` bodies, validators (J4.1), server-only
+  helpers and imports, `createServerOnlyFn` bodies, and `ssr`/`server`/`headers` route options are absent from the
+  production client bundle on every supported bundler, with side-effect hints varied; a declaration kept alive only
+  by a type position (`typeof schema`) is dead and must go. Modules that import protection _denies_ for the client
+  are absent too — subject to the configured policy: an edge import protection permits (`enabled: false`,
+  `onViolation` returning `false`, an exempt importer or `excludeFiles` target, J6.6/J6.7) receives the real module
+  and is not erased by this rule. Removal also covers imports the client cannot resolve: a platform module that only
+  removed code uses (`import { env } from 'cloudflare:workers'` read in a handler or `.server()`, `node:*`, `bun:*`)
+  does not make the client build fail and is absent from client output, while the server build keeps it; how the
+  compiler avoids resolving it (e.g. removal before the bundler resolves, tolerant provenance lookups) is
+  mechanism. Imports only removed code uses include a dynamic `import()` inside a handler: no client chunk is
+  emitted for its target. `[ruling: import-protection exemptions; doc: server-functions.md:150; execution-model.md:326-342; G2; doc: guide/environment-variables.md:8 (`cloudflare:workers` binding "from anywhere"); guide/hosting.md:13-19]`
+- **J4.13 Client/SSR agreement.** The bindings each environment actually consumes satisfy their public contract in
+  both: a server function imported in client and ssr is callable in both with the same id and `.url`; values that
+  the environment APIs intentionally make differ (`createIsomorphicFn`, `createServerOnlyFn`/`createClientOnlyFn`,
+  `<ClientOnly>`) differ as documented. Identical export inventories are not required (G9). `[ruling: P1; cs: hydration compares server and client renders]`
+- **J4.14 Side effects once** per env, including modules containing both server functions and top-level code (G3).
+  "Once" concerns the effects that survive for that env after the documented removals (J4.1, J4.8–J4.11, J2.5,
+  L3): a server env evaluates the surviving top-level code of a mixed module, so an unconditional browser-only
+  top-level read outside any client-only boundary or split option is not required to be skipped on the server;
+  the browser-dependency cases are tested through a real `<ClientOnly>`/`createClientOnlyFn` boundary, a split
+  route with `ssr: false`, or a real separate RSC provider. Separate environments have separate module instances.
+  `[ruling: P2]`
+- **J4.15 Dev/build.** Provider modules may carry an HMR accept in dev; none in build (G7). The dev server serves the
+  handler by id after edits (J3.6). `[R7]`
+- **J4.16 Libraries.** A dependency written with Start APIs (uncompiled source) that Start's discovery selects (a
+  package with `@tanstack/<fw>-start` or `@tanstack/start-client-core` in `peerDependencies`, `vite/plugin.ts:
+133-158`) or that the user explicitly includes for bundling is compiled like app code in every env it participates
+  in; discovery uses the application's configured root, never an unrelated process cwd (`vite build <app>` from a
+  monorepo root must work). Other external dependencies carry no automatic requirement; dependencies shipping
+  Start-_compiled_ output are unsupported (2.2).
+- **J4.17 User code preserved** (G12): directives (`'use strict'`, `'use client'`, `'use no memo'`), decorators,
+  class semantics, `assert`→`with`, parentheses.
+
+### J5 Deferred hydration `<Hydrate>`
+
+- **J5.1 Recognition.** A `<Hydrate>` whose tag resolves to a static import from `@tanstack/react-start` or
+  `@tanstack/solid-start` is a split boundary unless it has the literal `split={false}`. The tag may be the named
+  import, a renamed import, or a direct static member of a namespace import (`import * as Start from
+'@tanstack/react-start'; <Start.Hydrate …>`), extracted exactly like a named import. React and Solid; Vite and
+  Rsbuild; not Vue. Variable indirection (`const Deferred = Hydrate`, `const { Hydrate } = Start`) and wrapper
+  components are not analysed (2.2). A shadowed namespace binding or a namespace of another package is a look-alike
+  (G15). `[ruling: namespace imports; doc: guide/deferred-hydration.md:181-207,667-698]`
+- **J5.2 Client output.** The boundary's children move into a separately loaded chunk rendered through a lazy
+  component; values the children capture from the enclosing scope are passed in and reflect the latest render;
+  identifiers declared inside the children (e.g. a `const Icon` in a map callback) are not captures; nested boundaries
+  each get their own chunk; `prefetch`'s `preload()` loads that chunk (and resolves immediately with `split={false}`).
+  `[doc: deferred-hydration.md:181-191,209-243,483-490,734-736]`
+- **J5.3 Server output.** Children still render to HTML (G1); the server renders a boundary marker; `fallback` is
+  removed when statically visible (direct prop, inline object spread, single-use `const` spread) and may stay
+  otherwise. `[doc: deferred-hydration.md:49-57,559-561,738-741]`
+- **J5.4 Hydration identities agree.** Server and client identify the same rendered boundaries — every boundary,
+  extracted or not, including one hidden in a `children` prop — so each hydrates with the identity the server
+  rendered, with no mismatch, collision or wrong child-chunk selection. Any compiler-assigned part of that identity
+  is identical in every env of one build and deterministic for unchanged effective inputs, with server/client
+  agreement in each build (G4; equality between builds at different project roots is not required). The runtime
+  combines an optional compiler prefix with the framework's own id (`react-start-client/src/Hydrate.tsx:75-76`): a
+  compiler id on every non-extracted boundary is not required when the framework identity already agrees.
+  Identities must not collide among boundaries rendered at the same time; boundaries in mutually exclusive branches
+  at the same render position need not differ. `[R4]`
+- **J5.5 Rejections are loud when extraction is attempted.** For a boundary being extracted, function-as-children,
+  hook calls directly inside the extracted JSX and `this`/`super` captures produce a compile error naming the fix
+  (`split={false}` or a child component); dynamic `split` is treated as split. A boundary with literal
+  `split={false}` is neither extracted nor rejected (the transform skips it, `hydrate-when-transform.ts:579-580`),
+  and runtime behaviour is whatever the framework defines for the input (C8). These rejections are the specified
+  outcome, not a compiler limitation: G5's "our limitation is a bug" rule does not turn them into support goals. A
+  rejection is required in each compilation that attempts the extraction (the client compilation included).
+  `[doc: deferred-hydration.md:697-732; R5]`
+- **J5.6 Only what is needed, when it is needed.** Child chunks are not modulepreloaded with the route; without
+  `prefetch` (and absent React's documented correctness-driven early hydration), a child chunk loads when the
+  boundary is about to render/hydrate; a configured `prefetch` may load it earlier (that is its purpose). The
+  documented initial-hydration vs later client-mount behaviour, including `never()`, is preserved. A boundary inside
+  code the production bundler removes leaves no chunk and no child code behind (per bundler, G2). `[doc: deferred-hydration.md:209-243,565-574,643-646]`
+- **J5.7 CSS stays route-linked.** CSS imported by split children remains discoverable for the route's SSR HTML (not
+  deferred with the chunk). `[doc: deferred-hydration.md:648-654]`
+- **J5.8 Semantics otherwise untouched.** `when`, `prefetch`, `onHydrated`, keys and context flow through as written;
+  the function form of `when` is evaluated on the client only. Extraction keeps context flowing into the children,
+  keeps legal `key`/`ref` behaviour, and passes the latest captured values and callbacks after parent re-renders
+  and keyed reorders: it never freezes the first render's data or a Solid read. A changed inline `when`/`prefetch`
+  identity does not restart an established gate; a new `key` creates a new boundary. React's documented early
+  hydration stays allowed (J5.6). `[doc: deferred-hydration.md:98-101,146-179,403-407]`
+- **J5.9 Printing.** Children/fallback JSX re-printed in the chunk or stripped from the server must keep their meaning
+  (G12).
+
+### J6 Import protection
+
+- **J6.1 Rules.** Deny by resolved-file pattern (client default `**/*.server.*`, server default `**/*.client.*`),
+  by raw specifier (client default `@tanstack/{react,solid,vue}-start/server`; server default none), and by marker
+  (`@tanstack/<fw>-start/server-only` / `client-only` side-effect import in the target file; both in one file is an
+  error). `excludeFiles` (default `**/node_modules/**`) skips resolved-target checks. Option semantics follow the docs
+  table (`client.specifiers` additive; `files`, `excludeFiles`, `server.specifiers` replace). Importers checked:
+  those under `srcDirectory` (or `include`) minus `exclude`/`ignoreImporters`. Vite and Rsbuild; every Start env
+  (client-type envs vs server-type envs). A specifier rule matches the specifier **the user wrote**: a bundler
+  rewrite of the import (e.g. Rsbuild `source.transformImport` turning `ui-lib` into `ui-lib/button`) must not bypass
+  a denial of the original specifier; resolved-file and marker checks continue on the rewritten edge's resolved
+  target. `[doc: guide/import-protection.md:10-41,147-243,552-569; type: defaults.ts, schema.ts]`
+- **J6.2 Type-only edges are ignored**; mixed imports count. `[doc: import-protection.md:43-59]`
+- **J6.3 Behaviour.** Default dev `mock` (warn once, replace with a recursive-Proxy mock; `mockAccess` controls the
+  runtime console diagnostic — error/warn/off — and nothing else), default build `error` (fail the build);
+  overridable globally or per mode, including `mock` in production builds; `enabled: false` disables everything.
+  `mockAccess` (default `error`) applies wherever a mock is served — dev and production, client and server envs;
+  there is no production or server exemption, so a test that expects silence sets `mockAccess: 'off'`. In mock
+  mode (dev or build, client or server env) both channels hold: every violation is reported (the build or dev-time
+  warning), and the runtime access diagnostic follows `mockAccess` wherever a mock is served
+  `[ruling: mock mode always logs]`.
+  `[doc: import-protection.md:17-25,85-145,512-520; type: mockAccess, schema.ts:34-42]`
+- **J6.4 Only surviving edges are reported.** Build: violations are decided after compilation and tree-shaking,
+  definitive. Dev: an edge the Start compiler itself removed from the importer's output (handler-only, `.server()`-
+  only, server-only-fn-only imports) is not a violation and must not be reported or mocked, regardless of request
+  order, warm-up, pre-transform, lookup requests (`?server-fn-module-lookup`) or full-bundle mode; edges that only
+  bundler tree-shaking would remove may still be reported in dev. `[doc: import-protection.md:329-441]`
+- **J6.5 Report content.** Environment type, the rule that matched, importer `file:line:col` in the _original_
+  source (through source maps, also for non-JS sources and other plugins' rewrites) where the location is
+  source-derived, raw specifier, resolved path and the import chain from an entry (cut at `maxTraceDepth`) when
+  available (the public `ViolationInfo` marks `resolved`, `importerLoc`, `snippet` optional, `trace.ts:163-174`), a
+  code frame, direction-specific suggestions; `log: 'once'` de-duplicates per edge, `'always'` logs each occurrence
+  once per load. The importer location is a relevant original import span or a genuine surviving use of the
+  binding; it is never an erased type position, a use inside a removed boundary body, or compiled coordinates. The
+  chain is any real import chain from an entry to the importer (not necessarily the shortest), bounded by
+  `maxTraceDepth`. `[doc: import-protection.md:245-327,500-502,556-560]`
+- **J6.6 `onViolation`.** Called for every violation with the documented info; returning `false` allows the import:
+  real module, no mock, no report (dev and build). `[doc: import-protection.md:488-510]`
+- **J6.7 Exemptions give the real module.** An importer exempted by `ignoreImporters`, `exclude` or outside `include`
+  receives the real module and nothing is reported for it; a denied target matched by `excludeFiles` is not checked at
+  all; non-exempt importers of the same file are still mocked and reported. `[ruling: import-protection exemptions]`
+- **J6.8 Mocking is complete.** In mock mode every reported edge is mocked for the non-exempt importer (including a
+  denied file outside `include` imported from an included file); the mock exposes the bindings the importer names;
+  no real value of the denied module (including inlined enum members) reaches the bundle. A mock is identified by
+  safe behaviour through real consumers — named, default and namespace imports (also `ns[key]`), deep member reads,
+  calls and construction do not throw, no denied initializer effect runs, no secret value appears — never by a
+  label string or a fixed primitive-conversion result (§5 item 18). `[doc: import-protection.md:90-92; cs: a mock that leaks is not a mock]`
+- **J6.9 Every entry counts.** Edges reachable from any entry of the env (router entry, start entry, client entry,
+  custom `src/server.ts`) are reported. `[doc: import-protection.md:10 "checks every import"]`
+- **J6.10 Dependencies.** Files under `node_modules` skip file-pattern and marker checks by default, including a
+  dependency marking itself server-only; `excludeFiles: []` re-enables. `[doc: import-protection.md:32-39,207-228]`
+- **J6.11 Determinism.** The set of reported violations for a given source tree and config does not depend on
+  request order, caching, or which env transformed a module first (G4). `[R4]`
+- **J6.12 Suggestions and prose are free** (wording not a contract); the documented sections must exist. The
+  docs' displays are examples: header text, numbering, quotes and spacing are free; the `>`/`^` code-frame
+  convention and the per-direction actionable suggestion are kept. `[doc: import-protection.md:245-325]`
+- **J6.13 Edits reclassify in dev.** In a running dev server, adding or removing a marker, changing an unsafe edge or
+  boundary, and deleting/recreating a target updates reporting and mock/real resolution in every affected Start env:
+  stale lookup, transformed-output and marker caches neither keep a removed denial nor hide a new one (the plugin
+  invalidates marker and per-env state on `hotUpdate`, `vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts:1526-1543`).
+
+### J7 RSC CSS injection (react-start-rsc)
+
+- **J7.1 Scope.** Active only with `rsc.enabled: true`, React, under the documented prerequisites (§1.3), in the
+  environment that executes the RSC render: on Vite the `rsc` env (provider; its `loadCss` is
+  `import.meta.viteRsc.loadCss()`, `react-start-rsc/src/plugin/vite.ts:61-63`, and the ordinary SSR runtime
+  rejects direct `renderToReadableStream`, `:160-166`); on Rsbuild the server-function provider modules
+  (`react-start/src/plugin/rsbuild.ts:73-75`, `rscCssTransform.ts:75-79`). SSR forwarding and the client/SSR
+  facades are preserved; no other server env is required to evaluate an RSC-only CSS loader. The env list
+  describes today's wiring (e.g. Rsbuild's `serverFnProviderOnly`), not a frozen option set: the requirement is
+  delivery wherever the render executes (J7.2). `[doc: guide/server-components.md:11-92]`
+- **J7.2 CSS reaches the client.** For `renderServerComponent(<JSX/>)` and `createCompositeComponent(fn)` executed in
+  that environment (the documented usage: a server function returning server-rendered UI), the CSS (global and
+  modules) imported by the server-component module is delivered with the RSC payload so the client styles it.
+  Injecting the bundler's `loadCss` into those calls is the current mechanism; an equivalent delivery is acceptable.
+  Recognised through both module names (`@tanstack/react-start/rsc`, `@tanstack/react-start-rsc`), import renames
+  and direct static namespace members (`import * as RSC from '@tanstack/react-start/rsc';
+RSC.renderServerComponent(<Card />)`, likewise `RSC.createCompositeComponent` and `RSC.renderToReadableStream`
+  under J7.3), which get CSS injection like a named import. Variables, wrappers and project re-exports of the
+  helpers are not recognised requirements (unlike J4.5 builders); shadowed or foreign look-alikes stay untouched
+  (G15). `[ruling: namespace imports; doc: server-components.md:1031-1044]`
+- **J7.3 `renderToReadableStream`.** With a JSX (or all-JSX conditional, `as`/parenthesised) first argument the CSS is
+  injected; with an identifier or spread argument a dev-only warning is emitted; with a second `options` argument or a
+  plain-data model the call must not break (options/model pass through), CSS and warnings not required. `[ruling: D8, RSC undocumented inputs]`
+- **J7.4 No duplication, no behaviour change.** Injection adds styles only; rendered markup and the stream's data are
+  otherwise unchanged (G1); a module not calling these helpers is untouched.
+- **J7.5 Dev.** Editing a server component's CSS (global or module) updates the open page with the new effective
+  styles; removing a rule or the CSS import removes its effect; successive edits do not leave stale effective
+  stylesheets behind; no full reload where a hot update is feasible (G10). Stylesheet count, loader and envelope are
+  free. Tested on Vite and Rsbuild dev servers (react-start-rsc integration tier). `[G10]`
+
+---
+
+## 5. Allowed freedom (correct-but-different compilers)
+
+A compiler may do any of the following and still be correct; tests must not fail on them. Tests cite these items
+as `§5.N` (or "§5 item N").
+
+- **§5.1 Generated names**: identifiers for hoisted components, shared bindings, handler functions, RPC variables,
+  Hydrate lazy components, mock bindings (`__tss_deny_0`), hot-data keys. `[ruling: generated names, P1]`
+- **§5.2 Server-function ids** other than the documented default hashing, as long as deterministic, de-duplicated, equal
+  across envs of one build, and overridable in build (J4.4, G4); dev may use a different, implementation-specific
+  id. Equality of opaque ids between builds of the same project at different absolute roots is not required (G4).
+
+- **§5.3 Virtual-module ids and query strings** (`?tsr-split=`, `?tss-hydrate=`, `?server-fn-module-lookup`), physical
+  chunk count and shape, shared-dependency chunks, where shared bindings live (shared module, chunk re-import, entry
+  re-export), copying _pure, unexported, identity-unobservable_ helpers into a chunk vs importing them (J2.4) —
+  provided the configured group semantics hold: a group is available together, independently configured groups are
+  neither made eager nor loaded together when only one is needed, and no chunk carries unrelated code (J2.5).
+- **§5.4 SSR handler placement** in place or extracted, when SSR and the provider share an environment (P2, J4.3); the
+  forwarding mechanism for a separate provider.
+- **§5.5 Statement/import order, printing** (quotes, semicolons, parentheses beyond necessity, whitespace, comment
+  placement except license comments the splitter moves code away from, which stay in the source module, G12 —
+  license-comment placement is free for the Start compiler and the import-protection rewrite — and pragma
+  semantics, J2.16; the
+  order among directives of one prologue, as long as each still precedes executable code), dropping
+  or keeping type-only exports/imports that are runtime-neutral — within G3 (ordering dependencies of surviving
+  effects preserved; initialiser timing and printed order free).
+- **§5.6 Export lists** of compiled modules: adding exports, removing never-imported exports (G9).
+- **§5.7 Warning/error wording and channel** (console vs bundler diagnostics), including the exact prose of the
+  environment-misuse runtime errors (J4.10), as long as the file (and option/API where J2.8 applies) or the
+  environment restriction is named and the user can act. File names in diagnostics may be absolute or
+  project-relative if unambiguous; a bare basename that is only a suffix of the project-relative path (`other.ts`
+  for `src/other.ts`) does not name the file `[ruling: file names in diagnostics]`. Code-frame layout and context
+  length are free `[ruling: valid alternative compilers]`.
+- **§5.8 Where helpers live**: runtime helpers inlined, imported from the framework package, or placed in a virtual
+  module; which lazy helper builds a lazy boundary (`lazyRouteComponent`, `lazyFn`, an equivalent wrapper or an
+  intermediate module).
+- **§5.9 Which dead code is left** (G8): unreferenced functions, unused imports in never-executed code.
+- **§5.10 Root `component` split or not**; root `errorComponent`/`notFoundComponent` split preferred (J2.7).
+- **§5.11 Dev-only extras**: HMR accept code shape, hot-data layout, Refresh registration mechanics, dev diagnostics.
+- **§5.12 Dropping client-only-guarded declarations on the server for neutral file names** (preferred, not required).
+- **§5.13 How a nested `createServerFn` is supported** (hoisting or any technique giving J4.6), and whether a locally
+  capturing one is supported safely or rejected clearly.
+- **§5.14 Source-map granularity and layout** beyond "stack traces/report positions resolve to the user's line and
+  column"; no mappings for purely generated support code; absent optional report fields (J6.5).
+- **§5.15 Parser/printer** (Babel, Oxc/Yuku, SWC) and whether a module without the detection pattern is parsed at all,
+  as long as every recognition form of J4.5, J5.1 and J7.2 still works.
+- **§5.16 Idempotence** (recompiling output is unsupported).
+- **§5.17 Change-detection strategy** of the generator in dev (J1.10) and the hydration-identity scheme (J5.4).
+- **§5.18 Mock representation** (J6.8): the mock's label, its primitive-conversion result, Proxy shape and where the
+  mock runtime lives, as long as it is safe and leaks nothing.
+- **§5.19 Extra fields on runtime objects** the compiler emits or decorates (e.g. additional server-function metadata
+  next to the id), as long as the public contract holds.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Product questions ruled after the first drafts
+
+These were open questions; each is now ruled and binding. The ids stay because tests cite them.
+
+- **OQ12: license comments beyond the splitter.** R-14 binds the splitter only. Where the Start compiler
+  (server-function handler extraction, environment functions, Hydrate extraction) and the import-protection rewrite
+  put license comments is free, with no test either way (G12, §5.5). `[ruling: OQ12]`
+- **OQ13: already-lazy option values.** A file route may write `component: lazyRouteComponent(() =>
+import('../features/ReportsPage'))` (typed `RouteComponent | LazyRouteComponent`, `[doc:
+api/router/RouteOptionsType.md:32]`; the docs recommend `createLazyFileRoute` instead). Required outcome: once the
+  router has preloaded the route, rendering it requests no new module and shows no pending fallback. Leaving
+  already-lazy values in the route module and chaining the inner `preload()` both pass. One build test checks it.
+  `[ruling: OQ13]`
+- **OQ14: a chunk for `component: Outlet`.** `Outlet` is already the default component. No requirement: the compiler
+  may emit a chunk, skip it, or drop the `component` property. No test. `[ruling: OQ14]`
+- **OQ15: the release-candidate `.inputValidator()`.** It was removed in 1.169 and `tsc` rejects it: a type-invalid
+  input (§8, §2.2). No compiler requirement, no test. `[ruling: OQ15]`
+- **OQ16: third-party transforms on split chunks.** An app's own `enforce: 'pre'` plugin whose filter only matches
+  `/\.tsx$/` does not see split-chunk ids (`posts.tsx?tsr-split=component`). Out of scope for now: no test. The
+  documented integrations (framework plugins, the React Compiler through the framework plugin) must keep working.
+  `[ruling: OQ16]`
+- **OQ17: four low-frequency items.** `[ruling: OQ17]`
+  - a. `<ClientOnly>` in Vue SFC templates: no requirement until Vue Start is documented.
+  - b. A module-level `'use server'` with RSC enabled: undefined, no test; J4.12 still holds.
+  - c. Edits of modules that the `virtualRouteConfig` file imports: live regeneration is unsupported (restart);
+    J1.10 covers the config file itself, `__virtual.ts` files and route files under `physical()` mounts.
+  - d. `.vue` route files: never split, no warning, no test.
+
+---
+

+## 8. How the spec is checked (test methodology)
+
+- **Test infrastructure must not re-implement other tools** `[ruling: real tools only]`. Tests of
+  behaviour that a bundler, a framework or an HMR runtime decides drive the real supported tools — real dev servers
+  with the real framework plugins, the real HMR client, real `react-dom`/Solid/Vue runtimes, real production builds —
+  and observe page/build/runtime outcomes. No copies of Vite/webpack/Rspack/React update-propagation, Refresh-family,
+  tree-shaking or runtime logic in the oracle. Thin glue only at unavoidable external boundaries (request context,
+  the network, by-id HTTP calls); each stand-in has a documented contract and its own contract test, and is replaced
+  by the real package when feasible.
+- **Assert at the level where the outcome is decided** `[ruling: first review rulings]`: compiler-level tests assert what the compiler
+  alone decides (semantics, identity, validity, server code absent, chunk contents it emits within J2.5's D5
+  boundary, warnings); bundle-level placement, DCE and dangling names are asserted on production output per bundler
+  with side-effect hints varied (G2, G8); HMR with the real dev tools (above).
+- **Assert behaviour, not mechanism**: through real importers (P1), rendered output, calls,
+  ids compared across envs, source-map-resolved positions; never generated names, export lists, printed text,
+  statement order or which equally correct module a binding lands in (§5).
+- **Limitations get two tests** `[ruling: limitation tests]`: a loosened regression test (correct output; user informed when
+  not split) and a `.fails` goal test for the ideal outcome; best-effort cases get only the loosened test.
+- **Unsupported inputs** (2.2) get at most a "never fail silently" test; no test for behaviour ruled undefined.
+- **Reachability before pinning** (repository `AGENTS.md`; `[ruling: shellComponent, R-09]`): a pin needs a
+  real-usage path to the failing state; equal-mtime double saves and the webpack stale-id preference stay
+  report-only until shown reachable with real tools.
+- **Pins have a compiler cause.** A `.fails` pin asserts the correct outcome, fix-agnostically, and is verified red
+  for the right reason. Its cause is in a compiler or its bundler integration (§1.2 "Runtime bugs").
+  `[ruling: runtime bugs]`
+- **Type-invalid inputs are not supported inputs.** Source the package's public types reject (a `tsc` error under
+  the project's real declarations, e.g. `split="false"`, a string-returning `when`, a childless `<Hydrate>`,
+  missing builder arguments, an unannotated `string[][]` grouping) may appear only as labelled
+  never-fail-silently diagnostic controls (G5), never as evidence that a supported form works or is rejected.
+
+- **Client artifacts run in a real browser; server artifacts in Node.** Copying a DOM implementation's globals onto
+  Node is not a browser and can hide or fake environment-dependent behaviour (G13).
+- **Internal controls are labelled, not counted.** Tests of harness helpers, exported internals (§1.2), plugin
+  lifecycle, debug output or filesystem policy may stay as implementation tests (e.g. under
+  `outside-compiler-corpus/` or with an "internal control" label) but give no clause coverage and must not block a
+  correct rewrite.
+- **Dev-server edits are realistic.** The app's files exist before the dev server starts (as in a real project), and
+  a compile counts for an edit only if it started after the edit's last write. A multi-file edit (moving

Subject: [PATCH 0668/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): import gate for compiler
 internals; oracle docs state the current truth

The oracle README and the package AGENTS.md claimed the suite uses no
copies of tools and is a validated oracle. Neither holds today: many
acceptance tests reach the compilers through internal modules, ids and
helpers (44% of test cases failed under behaviour-preserving
restructures), several helpers re-implement tool or runtime behaviour,
and some client checks run in Node. The docs now say so, say a repair is
in progress, and tell implementers to adapt only the harness entry points
until it lands.

src/import-gate.ts lists every import of a router-generator,
router-plugin, start-plugin-core, react-start-rsc or router-utils
internal (anything not reachable through the package's exports map) in
the acceptance test files and the helpers they reach. test:import-gate
reports and exits 0; test:import-gate:strict exits 1. Its control plants
files in memory next to router-plugin's real tests.

+## Import gate
+
+Acceptance tests reach the compilers only through public entry points. `src/import-gate.ts` checks the imports mechanically: it lists every import of a compiler-package internal (router-generator, router-plugin, start-plugin-core, react-start-rsc, router-utils) in the corpus test files of the five packages above and in every helper they reach (relative imports into a package's `tests/`, and this package's `src/`).
+
+- **Internal** means not reachable through the package's `package.json` `exports`. Allowed: the package specifier with an exported subpath (`@tanstack/router-plugin/vite`), and a relative path to the source file an export is built from (`../src/vite` in router-plugin) or to an exported file. A type-only import of a public type (one a public entry exports) through an internal path is allowed and listed separately; prefer the public specifier.
+- Everything else counts, including a value import of a public symbol through an internal module (`getConfig` from `src/core/config`), internal types, `vi.mock`/`vi.importActual`, dynamic `import()`, `require` and `typeof import()` of internal paths, and subpaths missing from `exports`.
+- It is static: paths computed at run time (`import(path.join(...))`) and ids or queries in strings are out of its reach.
+
+```sh
+CI=1 NX_DAEMON=false pnpm nx run @tanstack/compiler-test-utils:test:import-gate --outputStyle=stream --skipRemoteCache
+```
+
+- `test:import-gate` (report mode) prints the violations grouped by file (for a helper, how many corpus files reach it) and exits 0. `--json` (run `node ./src/import-gate.ts --json` in this package) prints the same data as JSON.
+- `test:import-gate:strict` (or `COMPILER_IMPORT_GATE=strict`) exits 1 on any violation or on a file it could not parse. It fails today; it becomes a required check when the repair is done.
+- `tests/import-gate.test.ts` is its control: files planted in memory next to router-plugin's real tests must be flagged exactly where they import internals.

+- **Internal entry points.** Many acceptance tests reach the compilers through internal modules, internal ids

+- **Re-implemented tools.** Several helpers re-implement tool or runtime behaviour instead of running the real

Subject: [PATCH 0669/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): complete the oracle
 status notice

The status now also names the diagnostics read through today's report
format (289 cases fail on rewording alone) and the selected tests that do
not test a compiler (about a quarter of the declarations), so "the
exceptions the status describes" is complete. The restructures were meant
to keep behaviour; the 1,893 count excludes the few that changed it. The
gate's header cites the README section by its current name.

Subject: [PATCH 0670/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): public plugin hosts, one
 diagnostic channel, outcome-based settling

Repair workstream A2, the shared foundation of the compiler oracle repair:

- plugin-host / rsbuild-plugin-host: the public plugin array a user
  configures, driven in process through real Vite (middleware dev server,
  module runner, vite build) and Rsbuild's JavaScript API; no hook
  recorder, module id, query or route registration.
- strict-runner: Vite's own module runner with ES named-import linking for
  the app's modules (a missing import throws instead of reading undefined).
- browser runInPage: one Chromium page per test process for fast client
  checks on served modules, with the real Vite client.
- diagnostic-channel + console-hook: console, process streams, Vite logger
  and bundler compilations merged and scoped; the Vite and Rsbuild dev
  harnesses expose it; expectNoProblems reads every channel.
- diagnostics: per-spelling column bases, positions tied to the named
  file, semantic env-restriction reading, content-based explains (the
  closed causes list is deprecated).
- build-harness dangling-name check: attribution by the build's recorded
  module code (any transform, built-ins included), not by printed module
  headers; works minified.
- validate-module: env-aware globals and real-build evidence.
- outcome / dev harnesses: edits settle on their bounded outcome; no
  compile, round or update counts, no dependency-membership rule, no grace
  period (router-plugin route-hmr-page moved to it).

+## Which helper for a new or rerouted test
+
+- Drive a compiler only through the public plugins a user configures: `./plugin-host` (`createPluginHost`, Vite: server code through the environment's module runner, client code in the shared Chromium page, `vite build`) and `./rsbuild-plugin-host` (`createRsbuildPluginHost`, Rsbuild's JavaScript API). No hook recorders, module ids, queries or hand-registered routes.
+- Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (one page per test process, reused). `evaluateServed`, `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins); do not add callers.
+- Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`). "Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. Judge causes with `explains` (content), not `causes` (a deprecated word list).
+- Edits settle on their outcome within one bound (`./outcome` `waitForOutcome`, the dev harnesses' `edit`/`settle`), never on counts of events, compiles or updates.
+
 ## Corpus and implementation tests
 
 The compiler test corpus is an oracle: a compiler that passes every corpus test is a good compiler. Some useful tests check choices of today's implementation that a correct rewrite may make differently (printed bytes, log policy, internal generators called with forced options such as the server fn resolver generator, perf counters). Those are **implementation tests**, kept and run, but not part of the corpus.

Subject: [PATCH 0671/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): Vite dangling-name
 evidence per module id, not per file

recordViteModules keyed each module by its file (query stripped), so one
file served as several modules (a split route, `a.js` and `a.js?split`)
kept only the last module's code. A dangling read in the reference module
was then attributed to nothing and excused by the binding the split module
keeps: the shipped client code `var e=()=>lostFoo` passed the Vite check,
which the 1c4c5218dc harness (every free read counts) rejected. Key by the
module id, query included, as webpack/Rspack's `module.resource` does; a
module with a query has no file of its own and counts as virtual.

New control in the Vite block of build-harness.test.ts; red on the
query-stripping recorder, green now. Also: the deprecation note of
`evaluateServed` points to `runClient` (`./plugin-host`) / `runInPage`
(`./browser`).

+/**
+ * A route file loaded the way an app loads it (SYNTHESIS recipe P1;
+ * RULES-AUDIT R3, R23–R25): the public composed `tanstackRouter` plugin and
+ * the framework's own Vite plugin run in a real Vite dev server
+ * (`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/plugin-host`), on an app written to disk
+ * (`__root.tsx`, the route file, the files the test gives). The router
+ * plugin's own route generator registers the route (a virtual route config
+ * naming the route file: the public `virtualRouteConfig` option), so nothing
+ * of the compiler is assumed: no hook placement, no recorder, no module id,
+ * query or registration.
+ *
+ * Client semantics run in a real browser: every check is a script run in
+ * the shared Chromium page (`runClient`, one page per test process, a fresh
+ * document per run), which imports the route module from the dev server
+ * with real ES module linking, the real Vite client and the framework's
+ * refresh runtime, and renders with the real framework's client renderer
+ * and the real router. The test's own modules (what the route file imports)
+ * are files of the app; the page reads what they record.
+ *
+ * Laziness is observed through the router's public lazy contract (a route
+ * component's `preload()`, a loader call) and the modules the page actually
+ * requests from the dev server: a module the page requests that is neither
+ * a file the test wrote, a dependency nor a module of the tools (Vite's
+ * client, a refresh runtime) is a module the compilers emitted for the route
+ * (SPEC §5.3: whatever its id). Never by recognising the helper that builds
+ * a lazy value (J2.6, §5.8).
+ *
+ * Hosts are shared within a test file, one per configuration (target,
+ * plugin options, the route's file and id, the app's tsconfig): each
+ * `loadRoute` writes its files to the app as a dev server sees an edit
+ * (`edit`: written to disk, reported by Vite's watcher, settled on a bounded
+ * outcome), and removes the files of the previous route of that host. A
+ * route whose host has moved on to another route's files writes its own
+ * back before its next page run. Diagnostics are the dev server's merged
+ * channel (console, process streams, Vite's logger) since the route's files
+ * were written.

Subject: [PATCH 0673/1425] test(start-plugin-core): public Start host for the
 fast tier; legacy internal helpers outside the corpus

WIP base of workstream B2: tests/start-host.ts drives tanstackStart() of the
built framework package in a real Vite dev server with a Chromium page and
Start's real server entry; regression-helpers.ts and diagnostics.ts rebuilt on
it; the old StartCompiler-based helpers moved to outside-compiler-corpus/legacy.

+/**
+ * The public Start host of the fast tier (SYNTHESIS recipe P2): a Start app
+ * on disk, served by a real Vite dev server running the plugins a user
+ * configures, `tanstackStart()` of the built `@tanstack/<framework>-start`
+ * package (its `plugin/vite` export) and the framework's own Vite plugin
+ * (`@vitejs/plugin-react`, `vite-plugin-solid`), through the public plugin
+ * host of `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/plugin-host`. Nothing of the
+ * compiler is named: no class, module id, query, virtual module, report or
+ * emitted helper. Everything a test reads is what the app gives a user:
+ *
+ * - client code runs in a real Chromium page of the dev server (`client`):
+ *   the page imports the case module as a browser imports any module of the
+ *   app, and calling a server fn there sends Start's real request to the
+ *   dev server, whose real server entry and resolver run the handler;
+ * - server code: the case module evaluated by the SSR environment's own
+ *   module runner (`ssr`), and server fns called the way server code calls
+ *   them, inside a real request of the app (`inRequest`: a server route of
+ *   the app runs the callback, so Start's request context is the real one);
+ * - served code (`served`): what an environment serves for a case file, for
+ *   checks of shipped text (a server-only marker string, a directive);
+ * - loads (`loads`): the case files and packages a client import reaches, as
+ *   the browser requested them and as Vite's own client module graph
+ *   resolved them (static and dynamic imports);
+ * - diagnostics: the dev server's merged channel (console, process streams,
+ *   Vite's logger), and the error a failed transform throws.
+ *
+ * One host serves many cases. A case is a directory `src/cases/c<n>` of the
+ * app with its own files (`module.tsx` and its relative imports): new URLs
+ * for every case, so module instances never carry over from one case to
+ * another. The watcher ignores the case directories (they are written once,
+ * before anything requests them), so writing a case never reloads the page.
+ * Cases that need dev edits write their files with `edit`, which goes
+ * through the watcher and the dev server's bounded settle.
+ *
+ * Use `useStartHost(options)` in a test file: one host per file (created in
+ * `beforeAll`, closed in `afterAll`), and `host().case(files)` per test.

Subject: [PATCH 0674/1425] test(router-generator): decouple compiler
 acceptance consumers

Use public router and renderer imports, fixture-owned source identity, and Chromium consumer coverage. Separate implementation controls and typechecking, preserve source-edit assertions, and repair mixed checks and pin fixtures.

 /**
- * Route HMR applied to a live router: each test calls the route HMR code
- * the plugin emits (the stringified `handleRouteUpdate`, as the route
- * module's HMR code calls it once the bundler gave it the edited module)
- * with the route of an edited route file and a live router
- * (`window.__TSR_ROUTER__`). No hot context, disposal or module selection
- * is recreated here: what the bundler and the framework do with an edit is
- * tested on a real page (integration/route-hmr-browser*.test.ts).
+ * Pending ruling Q5 (REPAIR/BRIEF, SYNTHESIS "Open decisions"): kept exactly
+ * as it was until the oracle owner rules whether an update of a route the
+ * live router does not have is reachable through real tools. It calls the
+ * route HMR code the plugin emits (the stringified `handleRouteUpdate`)
+ * with a route the live router (`window.__TSR_ROUTER__`) does not have, and
+ * asserts that the router is left as it is and keeps navigating.
  *
- * Owned-runtime controls (hmr H12), part of the corpus: they decide what
- * applying an edited route does to a live router (J3.1: stale loader data,
- * removed options, the lazy options the tree gave the route; red-astra/08
- * is caught only here). They do not show that a real host delivers the
- * edit: real pages decide that. They reach the emitted update function
- * through `getHandleRouteUpdateCode`; a rewrite that emits its update code
- * another way adapts that one entry point, not the outcomes.
+ * The other updater-entry controls of this file moved to
+ * outside-compiler-corpus/handle-route-update.test.ts: the real-page rows of
+ * integration/route-hmr-browser-updates.test.ts (and
+ * integration/route-hmr-browser-metadata.test.ts:45 for head and scripts)
+ * decide their concepts through real edits. This control reaches the
+ * emitted update function through `getHandleRouteUpdateCode`, an internal
+ * entry point (the import gate flags it until the ruling).

+/**
+ * What a route file edit does to the live router of a running app (SPEC
+ * J3.1, J3.3, G10), through real tools only (SYNTHESIS recipe P7): a real
+ * dev server with the public router plugin and the framework's plugin, a
+ * real page running the dev server's own HMR client, and edits of route
+ * files on disk (`openRouteHmrPage`). The app keeps its own reference to the
+ * router it creates (`window.__app.router`, assigned in its `main.tsx`);
+ * the tests read the page and that router through public router APIs.
+ *
+ * These rows decide the concepts the updater-entry controls in
+ * outside-compiler-corpus/handle-route-update.test.ts check with explicit
+ * inputs: matching and resolving next to an edited parent or pathless
+ * layout, params parsing, the generated route state of the hot `Route`
+ * export, the lazy options the route tree gave a route (V4 red-astra/08),
+ * removed loaders and callbacks, loader races with an older refresh or an
+ * inactive preload, route context, and descendants of an edited parent.

+ * under jsdom). A rewrite may emit its update code another way; these
+ * controls check today's updater with explicit inputs.
+ *
+ * Real edits on a real page decide each concept instead
+ * (integration/route-hmr-browser-updates.test.ts, SYNTHESIS recipe P7):
+ * - pathless layout and index route keep matching and resolving; index route
+ *   under an edited parent; params.parse edit; generated route state of the
+ *   hot Route export: "keeps matching and resolving routes next to an
+ *   edited pathless layout or parent; …" (Vite);
+ * - lazy options the route tree gave the route (V4 red-astra/08); removed
+ *   loader; parser and route-context edits on the active route; descendants
+ *   of an edited parent: "keeps the lazy options the route tree gave the
+ *   route, …" (Vite, Rsbuild);
+ * - an older refresh settling later: "keeps the hot loader data when an
+ *   older refresh settles later";
+ * - an obsolete inactive preload; removed loader and beforeLoad on a later
+ *   visit: "does not cache an obsolete inactive preload, nor run removed
+ *   loader or beforeLoad callbacks on a later visit".
+ * Head and scripts removal: integration/route-hmr-browser-metadata.test.ts:45.

Subject: [PATCH 0688/1425] test(router-plugin): integration tier through
 public entry points and outcome-based observations

- route-hmr-page: public getConfig, app-scoped process warnings (async
  context of the app's dev server), app-owned router reference
- production bundles: purpose-based dev-only absence (public dev APIs,
  route module exports vs the control); addedCode as inspection evidence
- dev source maps: executed throws mapped through served maps
- build-frameworks: framework isolation by resolved package provenance
- generator dev app: outcome-based page settle, merged channel,
  binding-aware createFileRoute, decoded markers; watcher handle
  inventories moved out of the corpus
- moves: lazyFn this (runtime), harness and tool controls
- fix-agnostic split-id directory pin; R7/R9 couplings rerouted

Subject: [PATCH 0690/1425] test(router-plugin): imports/exports and scope
 tests in the browser route app; import attributes judged by webpack

route-app: additive options framework, config, pageScript; an app with
node_modules files gets its own host; app(file) goes through the route's
entry module (a stub edited for an earlier route is imported with its HMR
timestamp by the route); pageDiagnostics reads the page's console.

- * paths with `\`, Vite with `/`) compiles correctly too, but its opaque

- * id equality). Generated function names are not asserted.
+ * Server fn ids (SPEC J4.4, G4) in a dev server of the public Start host
+ * (`./start-host`): the client's server fn reaches the handler it was
+ * created with, and each server fn of a module with several reaches its own
+ * handler, from the client (through the dev server) and from server code.
+ * Ids are opaque: they are observed through the public `url` of the client's
+ * server fns and the handler a call reaches, never generated names.
+ *
+ * Build ids (J4.4: deterministic for an unchanged project, a custom
+ * `generateFunctionId`, colliding custom ids) and relocation to another
+ * root are build clauses: integration/start-compiler-build-determinism.test.ts

Subject: [PATCH 0693/1425] test: repair RSC compiler oracle and noncompiler
 lanes

Resolve the public Start plugins for RSC acceptance tests and exercise CSS
warnings through real dev servers and merged diagnostics. Retain runtime
and build-plumbing tests in a separately selected CI lane.

Scope diagnostic captures to each app's async work, including native
Rspack loaders, and retain Rsbuild logger warnings. Add regression controls
for capture ownership, warning transport, lane selection, and budgets.

+- A package that gets its first implementation test adds the two projects and the two scripts the same way. react-start-rsc selects its runtime tests in `test:noncompiler`. This package's own tests are harness controls, not compiler tests; none of them is an implementation test of a compiler.
+- **Noncompiler coverage:** start-plugin-core build plumbing and react-start-rsc runtime tests live under `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/noncompiler/` and run in `test:noncompiler`, excluded from the implementation projects too. Root `test:pr`/`test:ci` and compiler-platform CI run the lane. RSC compiler acceptance currently lives entirely in integration.
+- Budgets (`test-budgets.json`) cover the corpus tiers; the implementation and noncompiler projects have none.
 - What does not belong outside the corpus: a goal pin (`.fails`) of a real bug, a test of supported behaviour that is merely slow, or a test that decides a user-visible outcome through an internal entry point (e.g. the emitted `handleRouteUpdate` driven by a live router: label it in its header, keep it in the corpus, and reroute it through a public entry point: the import gate below flags it until then). Before moving a test out, make sure no wrong compiler is caught only by it (e.g. a known mutant of the compiler).

 # React Start RSC
 
-- Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier) runs the runtime's unit tests in jsdom. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: real Start apps with RSC on Vite and Rsbuild dev servers and builds, and real browser pages; its Nx target builds `@tanstack/react-start` first. Run both tiers before handing back.
+- Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` is reserved for fast compiler acceptance (currently empty). `test:noncompiler` runs the 49 RSC runtime tests in jsdom under `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/noncompiler/`. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: real Start apps with RSC on Vite and Rsbuild dev servers and builds, and real browser pages; its Nx target builds `@tanstack/react-start` first. Run integration, noncompiler, types and eslint before handing back.
 - To run one test file or `-t` filter quickly, the slow-tier load gate and the test budgets: [compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md](../compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md).
 - The spec these tests cite (clause ids such as `J4.12`, `G3`, `§5.7`), the rulings and the known bugs: [compiler-test-utils/oracle/README.md](../compiler-test-utils/oracle/README.md).

 - Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier, the inner loop) runs `tests/**` in process and depends on `^build` only. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: every test that starts a real build (`buildStart`), a dev server that links the built `@tanstack/react-start` (`startDevServer`, `startProtectedDevServer`, `linkStartRuntime`), an Rsbuild dev server, a child Node process or a browser page; its Nx target builds `@tanstack/react-start` first. Put such tests under `tests/integration/`; a file with tests of both kinds is split by test into files of the same name in both directories. Run both tiers before handing back.
 - To run one test file or `-t` filter quickly, the slow-tier load gate and the test budgets: [compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md](../compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md).
 - The spec these tests cite (clause ids such as `J4.12`, `G3`, `§5.7`), the rulings and the known bugs: [compiler-test-utils/oracle/README.md](../compiler-test-utils/oracle/README.md).
+
+- `test:noncompiler` retains runtime/build-plumbing coverage under `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/noncompiler/`; it is selected separately from compiler acceptance and implementation controls, and runs in root PR/CI and compiler platform jobs.

Subject: [PATCH 0694/1425] test(router-plugin): route HMR, React Refresh and
 dev-server unit tests in the browser route app

Route modules run where a dev server runs them: a real page (Vite's hot
API, React Refresh, the real router) or the SSR module runner, plus
Rsbuild hosts for webpack's hot API and a page without one. addHmr: false
is judged by the edit's outcome on a live router; production rows are
decided on the bundle (build-production*). The hot-collision pins probe
the names the HMR compile introduces, not one spelling. Route module
export helpers run in the page with the dev server's TypeScript defaults.

Subject: [PATCH 0695/1425] test(router-generator): observe diagnostics and
 async consumer outcomes

Capture all reporting channels and validate diagnostic determinism by a real missing-export probe. Wait for visible browser output through the shared outcome helper, with a public Vue async-component regression.

Subject: [PATCH 0696/1425] test(start-plugin-core): createServerFn suites on
 the public Start host

Reroute createServerFn/** through tanstackStart() in a real dev server
(client in Chromium, by-id calls through Start's server entry, server calls
in real requests); build-only rows to integration/start-compiler-build-ids
(vite build + Start's preview server); matcher controls out of the corpus;
the Q6 row moved unchanged to pending-rulings. New pins: a virtual factory
module served by exact id fails in dev; a .cts server fn fails in dev; a
server fn under a '#' directory fails to build.

+ *   the steps of the import chain, each naming the specifier it imports
+ *   with (any quoted string after the file); the chain is read from the
+ *   entry to the importer whichever way it is printed (the end that is the

+ * cannot be found throws, so that a check that nothing is reported cannot
+ * pass on a report it failed to read.
+ *
+ * What is read: every channel (SPEC §5.7). Pass a dev server (`DevServer`,

Subject: [PATCH 0701/1425] test(start-plugin-core): reroute
 known-bugs-start-compiler, compiler and createMiddleware tests through the
 public Start host

Corpus rows run on tanstackStart() in a real dev server, a Chromium page and
Start's real server entry: real case files instead of stubs, client RPC and
in-request SSR calls instead of the provider/report harness, explains instead
of closed cause lists, an outcome R8 pin. Harness controls and internal-compiler
rows moved to outside-compiler-corpus/, Q6/Q7 and the Vue SFC pin moved
unchanged to pending-rulings/, build-mode export-cache rows to integration
(regression tests: a real build does not reproduce the pin). New pin: a dev
edit of a re-export chain's factory module leaves its importer stale.
Start host: links option, optimized-deps package names in loads, navigation
detection on page runs, build-mode case globs that skip denied files.

Subject: [PATCH 0702/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): console output from
 native bundler callbacks reaches every open channel

B5 scoped console capture with AsyncLocalStorage and dropped output printed
outside any scope. Rolldown calls a Vite build's plugin hooks, and Rspack
its compiler/compilation hooks (other than loaders, which B5 re-enters),
from native code without Node's async context, so a compiler's
console.warn there was printed to the real console and lost to every
channel: plugin-host Vite builds, Rsbuild dev and build hosts, and
withBuildEnvironment (also Vite's default-logger warnings), which makes
"nothing reported" checks such as rsc-start-build's "production ... without
development warnings" vacuous for build-time output. The 00317474fd
capture recorded all of these.

Output printed in a scope still goes to that scope's sinks only; output
printed outside any scope now goes to every sink, as before B5.
New controls in tests/integration/native-hook-capture.test.ts: 4/4 red on
B5's console-hook, green now.

Subject: [PATCH 0706/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Hydrate suites through the
 public Start plugin and real browser hydration

render.ts renders <Hydrate> modules through the dev Start host: server
render in the SSR environment (react-dom/static), real hydrateRoot of that
HTML in Chromium with every gate opened, the uncompiled source rendered by a
plain Vite + React host as the reference, and semantic (normalized DOM)
comparison instead of byte HTML. Loads come from the page's resource timing;
chunk counts and ids are no longer asserted (N13). The rejection matcher
control moves outside the corpus.

+/**
+ * `<Hydrate>` modules rendered and hydrated through the public Start plugin
+ * (SYNTHESIS recipe P4): the case module of a Start app on a real dev server
+ * (`./start-host`: `tanstackStart()` and the framework's Vite plugin) is
+ *
+ * - rendered on the server by the SSR environment (its module runner
+ *   evaluates the module as the dev server compiles it for SSR) with React's
+ *   own server renderer (`react-dom/static`'s `prerenderToNodeStream`, which
+ *   waits for lazy components and Suspense like a streaming render), reached
+ *   through an app module so React is the app's own instance;
+ * - hydrated on the client in a real Chromium page of the same dev server:
+ *   the page imports the module as a browser does, puts the server's HTML in
+ *   a fresh container and hydrates it with `hydrateRoot` (React's
+ *   development build, which reports mismatches through
+ *   `onRecoverableError` and `console.error`), then opens every boundary's
+ *   gate (a boundary becomes visible, an interaction event reaches it, idle
+ *   and load gates open themselves) and waits until the page is quiet;
+ * - compared with the uncompiled source (`renderSource`): the same files on
+ *   a plain Vite dev server with only `@vitejs/plugin-react` (no Start
+ *   plugin), rendered by its SSR environment with the same renderer, where
+ *   the real `Hydrate` renders its children in place.
+ *
+ * Markup is compared semantically (SPEC N13): the page parses each HTML
+ * string and serializes its DOM again with sorted attributes, merged text
+ * and no comments (`html`), hydration ids blanked where the uncompiled
+ * source is the reference. What loads when is read from the page's own
+ * resource timing: `loaded` (the case files the import of the module
+ * requested) and `lazy` (everything the page requested once hydration
+ * started: the split code, wherever the compiler put it). Nothing here names
+ * a compiler internal: no plugin, virtual module id, query or chunk count.

Subject: [PATCH 0709/1425] test(router-generator): the route a tree creates
 comes from the target runtime

B4 replaced the singleton import set of "the route tree imports its runtime
from @tanstack/<target>-router" with runtime checks that only read user
files (the root route, the lazy route file). A generator that imports the
tree's own `createFileRoute` from another framework's router then passed
the whole fast tier (mutant: solid target with react-router's package;
only integration route-types caught it). Assert that the route the tree
creates for a lazy-only route is an instance of the target package's
`Route`: red on that mutant, green on the generator.

Subject: [PATCH 0710/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): read Rsbuild's logger
 through its API, attribute native-callback output, record each compilation
 report once

B5 raised the Rsbuild hosts' logLevel to 'warn' so Rsbuild-logger warnings
reached the merged channel. That also raised the HMR client's log level
(Rsbuild ties dev.client.logLevel to logLevel), so pages logged Rsbuild's
own messages. And with output printed outside any async scope sent to every
open sink (b2857ec92e), Rsbuild's logger re-printed each compile's errors
and warnings ("Build errors: ...", "build failed in 0.12s") next to the
compilation's own report: 1 ctu and 19 spc integration failures.

- Rsbuild hosts: logLevel and dev.client.logLevel are 'silent' again (the
  terminal and the page stay quiet); a customLogger (rsbuildLogger, from
  Rsbuild's public createLogger) records Rsbuild's and the plugins'
  warnings and errors in the channel, source 'rsbuild'.
- Compilation reports are recorded once, from the compilation, at an early
  `done` stage (the build host moved off onAfterBuild). reportLogged drops a
  logger message that quotes a recorded compilation message, and the
  status line of a compile that failed (a one-line error naming no file,
  in the same turn as that compile's report). Anything else is recorded.
- Output printed outside any async scope (Rolldown and Rspack native
  callbacks) goes to the channel whose claimed app root it names (hosts,
  dev servers and bundleApp claim theirs), else to all open sinks when they
  are one line of nested work, else to every open sink marked `shared`
  (expectNoProblems says so).
- budget-reporter.test.ts: concurrent tests clean up through their own
  context's onTestFinished (the global one may delete another running
  test's fixture).

Controls (each red on the old behaviour named):
- native-hook-capture.test.ts: native-callback console.warn on Vite build,
  withBuildEnvironment, Rsbuild dev and build, and "nothing reported" fails
  for it (red on B5's capture); concurrent Vite builds, Rsbuild dev servers
  and builds keep output naming their app and share unattributed output
  marked `shared` (red on B5's capture and on b2857ec92e's send-to-all).
- rsbuild-plugin-host.test.ts: a compilation warning and error appear once
  on dev and build hosts (red without the dedup; the error rows also
  without the status-line rule).
- browser.test.ts: Rsbuild's HMR client prints nothing in the page, a
  compile warning included (red with the client at B5's 'warn').

Subject: [PATCH 0712/1425] test(start-plugin-core): integration and
 import-protection tests through the public plugins, read by content (B3)

- delete the Rsbuild loader shim; test:integration builds the package and
  imports its built public entries (externalized: one module instance with
  the loaders Rspack loads)
- harnesses: whole public Start plugin only (no internal compiler/IP
  registrations), explicit documented entries, public runWithStartContext,
  configured entry names, one merged diagnostic channel (StartBuild /
  StartBuildError diagnostics)
- violation-report: semantic reader of the J6.5 content (no label grammar,
  order, numbering or entry marker; entry-last allowed)
- unit import-protection internals tests moved out; their concepts rerouted
  into new public-plugin corpus files
- S6/S7 move-outs, splits and watch-list pins; F2 pinned; skipped-RSC
  warning delivery pinned (Vite and Rsbuild dev)

+/**
+ * What a client importer gets for a denied import, for each way of writing
+ * the import and each shape of the denied module's exports (SPEC J6.8:
+ * mocking is complete; J6.2: type-only parts are not imports), on a real
+ * app in mock mode: a Vite dev server with Start's whole public plugin (the
+ * page in a real browser) and mock-mode Vite and Rsbuild builds (the client
+ * bundle in a real browser). A mock is told by what it does (`mock-helpers.ts`,
+ * `describeValue`: `a safe mock`), never by its label or its module.
+ *
+ * Two kinds of denied modules: a package denied by a specifier rule
+ * (`private-sdk`, `other-sdk`: the importer gets a mock of each name it
+ * uses) and denied files (`src/shapes/*.server.ts`: the importer gets a mock
+ * of each export of the file). Each case is a module of its own under
+ * `src/cases/` whose `values()` gives what it read from the denied module;
+ * one app holds every case, so each channel builds or serves it once.
+ *
+ * Replaces the internal controls that evaluated today's generated mock
+ * modules in process (`outside-compiler-corpus/importProtection/
+ * analysis.exports.test.ts`, `rewrite.test.ts`). The names today's mocks miss
+ * (reserved words, namespace re-exports, enums, a member read before the
+ * import, computed keys) are pinned in `known-bugs.test.ts` ("app-level
+ * twins of the mock pins"); `export *` and `export * as ns` of a denied
+ * module are pinned there and in `known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`.

+ * call its styles when the argument is not JSX it can see (a variable, a
+ * spread), so the stream renders without its CSS; in development the user
+ * is told, once per file, naming the module (the file and the API), on

+ * bundler, all read together). D8 asks for the warning in development only:
+ * builds are not required to warn.
+ *
+ * The app is a React Start app with RSC enabled, on each host's dev server,
+ * through the public plugins (`rsc-warning-app.ts`). A request of its page
+ * makes the server run both server functions, so the modules holding the
+ * calls were compiled for the server (the precondition: the page shows the
+ * streamed component); then the warning is read.
+ *
+ * This replaces, as compiler acceptance, the synthetic `compilerTransforms`
+ * warning plumbing of `outside-compiler-corpus/start-build-warnings.test.ts`
+ * (SYNTHESIS S7-164/S7-167). The Vite dev twin with a real page and CSS is

Subject: [PATCH 0715/1425] test(start-plugin-core): adaptive generated-name
 collision pin (names read from the served code)

The fixed-name pins (createClientRpc/createSsrRpc/createServerRpc, opts) stay
(valid user input, N14) but a compiler that only renames its generated
bindings passes them (R3); the adaptive pin keeps that bug class red.

Subject: [PATCH 0719/1425] test(start-plugin-core): build harness on ctu's
 scoped build channel and Rsbuild logger; reports are warnings or errors

- the spc build harness records through withBuildEnvironment's channel
  (its async scope and claimed app root), Rsbuild's logger through
  rsbuildLogger, each compilation report once at an early done stage
- the violation reader reads only warnings and errors of a channel
  (ruling 2026-10-21, diagnostic severity)

Subject: [PATCH 0720/1425] test(start-plugin-core): restore three concepts the
 B2 reroute weakened

- hydrate-split-modules: SPEC J5.2, a nested boundary has split code of
  its own behind its own gate. The reroute dropped the chunk-count proxy
  (old :613/:632) with nothing in its place. New row: outer load() gate,
  inner never() gate; the outer children's module loads lazily, the inner
  one does not. Green on the compiler; a probe with the inner boundary
  unsplit (split={false}) fails it. The two old rows' titles no longer
  claim "loaded from the source code alone".
- start-host serverLoads(): a module the SSR environment cannot compile
  gave an empty graph, so not.toContain checks passed vacuously (e.g.
  known-bugs-start-compiler "ssr: a declaration only a client-only fn
  reads is not loaded"). It now transforms the module first and rejects on
  a failure, as loads() does.
- start-compiler-factories "calls .handler() on an object that is not a
  server fn": back to importing './secret.server' (the old input; import
  protection is off on this host), so a compiler that strips server-only
  file imports from the client is caught again.

Subject: [PATCH 0723/1425] test(router-plugin): restore the helper inventory
 concept; G15 pin reachable from an app

- code-splitter-imports-exports "splits default, named and namespace
  specifiers between the modules": the old import inventory was the only
  check that the helpers only a split component reads (and the default,
  named and namespace imports they read) leave the route module. The D5
  markers sat on the components' JSX only. Markers in getDefault,
  getTarget and getNamespaced: absent from every module that loads with
  the route, present in what loading their component loads.
- known-bugs-route-hmr-bindings (G15 Map pin): the injected bookkeeping is
  built by the first route module the page evaluates, which in an app is
  the root route (the route tree imports it first). The pin's route was an
  index route, red only because the harness imports it before the tree.
  The route file is now the app's root; the stub is a map widget's class
  named Map (immutable's Map has `set`, so it would not throw). Still red:
  "tsrReactRefresh.ignoredExportsById.set is not a function"; control
  green.

Subject: [PATCH 0724/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): final pass F-A:
 actionable explains, severity floor, exact caret, page and build guards
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- explains: require an actionable cause: the category in the diagnostic's
  own words (internal-representation words and internal-error reports do
  not count), plus the API it names or guidance (#3)
- merged-channel matchers: severity floor by default, warning or error; an
  info line meets only an expectation that asks for info (#11)
- positions: no ±1 caret tolerance; a caret one column left is the
  character before (#12, F1)
- plugin host: client hosts keep an idle HMR client connected, so a full
  reload sent between runs is not handed to the next run's page (#21)
- runInPage: the import and script are bounded by the run's timeout (#21)
- describeBuild: a chunk without a source map file is described without a
  map (#21)
- openPage: document that a given document is not for HMR checks (#16)
- git-ignore packages/*/tests/**/.start-*/ (#26)

Each change has a control that fails on the old behaviour.

Subject: [PATCH 0725/1425] test(start-plugin-core): final pass F-C: restored
 concepts, Vue host, G7 trap, upstream pins dropped

- factories: the unresolvable star export is a data: URL the bundler resolver gives no id for
- import-forms: Vue <ClientOnly> rows render on the server and the client (Vue's own JSX runtime)
- runtime-contract: HTTP call by id without client context (progressive-enhancement form post)
- hydrate pages: nested boundary behind its own gate (Vite and Rsbuild, source-loaded split)
- handler-scope isomorphic pin comment matches its red outcome
- drop the .cts dev pin and the # directory build pin (Vite upstream)
- @vitejs/plugin-vue test-only devDependency; Vue SFC pin on the public host
- production page trap for development-only globals (G7 behaviour)
- severity floor for array-shaped channel diagnostics and failed-build text
- render.ts: case-owned chunks, per-gate control; start-host warm-up on outcome
- excludeFiles dependency contrast (two pins), silent mock side effects, export-cache pins made deterministic
- the three flagged unit files moved out of the corpus; outside-root server fn row

 - For import-protection changes, read the [shared internals](src/import-protection/INTERNALS.md) and [Vite lifecycle](src/vite/import-protection-plugin/INTERNALS.md). Preserve adapter-specific deferral and survival checks; development has no build-time tree-shaking, and Vite's error/mock modes differ. Cover actual leaks and safe boundaries in cold/warm development and builds.
 - Compiler output must match runtime contracts in `start-client-core`, `start-fn-stubs`, and `start-server-core`. For `createServerFn`, cover client, SSR caller, and server-provider output separately in [`tests/createServerFn/createServerFn.test.ts`](tests/createServerFn/createServerFn.test.ts).
 - Use a built Start e2e app to validate generated imports and runtime behavior together; compiler snapshots alone do not exercise that integration.
-- The shared compiler serves both Vite and Rsbuild. For shared compiler changes, check the relevant adapter suites in `tests/vite/`, `tests/rsbuild/` and `tests/integration/rsbuild/`, plus affected Start e2e modes for build, server-function, or HMR behavior.
+- The shared compiler serves both Vite and Rsbuild. For shared compiler changes, check the relevant adapter suites in `tests/integration/rsbuild/` and the Vite and Rsbuild rows of the corpus, plus affected Start e2e modes for build, server-function, or HMR behavior.
 - Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier, the inner loop) runs `tests/**` in process and depends on `^build` only. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: every test that starts a real build (`buildStart`), a dev server that links the built `@tanstack/react-start` (`startDevServer`, `startProtectedDevServer`, `linkStartRuntime`), an Rsbuild dev server, a child Node process or a browser page; its Nx target builds `@tanstack/react-start` first. Put such tests under `tests/integration/`; a file with tests of both kinds is split by test into files of the same name in both directories. Run both tiers before handing back.
 - To run one test file or `-t` filter quickly, the slow-tier load gate and the test budgets: [compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md](../compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md).
 - The spec these tests cite (clause ids such as `J4.12`, `G3`, `§5.7`), the rulings and the known bugs: [compiler-test-utils/oracle/README.md](../compiler-test-utils/oracle/README.md).

Subject: [PATCH 0726/1425] test(router-plugin, router-generator): final pass
 F-D: severity floor, provenance, G7 traps, D5 pairs

- Severity floor (#11, rg and rp side): the missing-Route warning (rg
  known-bugs, generator-options logging, determinism) must be a warning
  (the run goes on); the route-file upkeep reports must be a warning or an
  error (refusal allowed); rp "left unsplit, reported" helpers and the
  reported-fallback HMR helper must be warnings (the route works).
- J2.17 (#22): SPEC reworded: an `assert` import keeps working, the printed
  keyword is free (no public host observes it); the behaviour rows stay.
- G7 outcome (#28): production pages trap the React Refresh globals, the
  plugin-react ignored-exports hook and the router HMR globals before any app
  module evaluates, assert none is touched, and compare the page's globals
  with the control's; `addedCode` stays evidence only.
- route-app (#29): compiler-emitted modules are told by provenance (the
  router plugin's own load/transform hooks, answered to the page by the dev
  server), no longer by `/@fs/` or `/node_modules/` paths; controls for both
  locations. The duplicate idle HMR client is gone (ctu hosts keep one).
- route-hmr (#30): the "webpack style, hot API present, no window" cell is
  reached through a webpack/Rspack server build with HotModuleReplacement.
- D5 (#31): every absence check is paired with a presence check where the
  code belongs; foldable markers replaced; the bindings table's loader-only
  check is no longer vacuous; `stringValues` throws on parse errors;
  generator-dev `scriptHolds` reads every script.

Subject: [PATCH 0728/1425] test(start-plugin-core): the route row's chunk
 check reads the boundaries' split code only

"a module compiled under an id with another query keeps the server
boundary ids" rendered the route's lazy component, so the router code
splitter's `?tsr-split=component` module (whose map names the route file)
loaded after hydration started and satisfied the case-code chunk rule on
its own: with both boundaries `split={false}` the row still passed. Preload
the route component before rendering, as the router does; the same probe
now fails ("the case code the page requested once it hydrated: expected []
to not deeply equal []"), the row stays green on the compiler.

Subject: [PATCH 0729/1425] test(router-plugin): an unfoldable dead-code
 marker, an eager-or-lazy presence check; RULINGS D9

- integration/code-splitter-dead-code: `ping` held its marker as
  `'MARK_PING_END'.length`, which every minifier folds, so "ping: nowhere"
  passed even with ping kept (probe: ping kept through a global
  assignment, the row stayed green on Vite, Rspack and webpack). The marker
  is now `('MARK_PING_END' + Math.random()).length`; the same probe fails
  on all three bundlers, the row is green on the compiler.
- code-splitter-imports-exports "are not copied into another option's
  chunk": the presence check looked only in the notFoundComponent's split
  code when it is lazy, rejecting a valid compiler whose chunk imports the
  exported `NotFound` back from the route module. It now reads the eager
  modules and the lazy ones together.
- oracle/RULINGS.md D9 said `assert` "comes out as `with`", contradicting
  the reworded SPEC J2.17: the printed keyword is free.

Subject: [PATCH 0730/1425] test(start-plugin-core): SSR scripts run inside a
 real request of the app

The build harness no longer hand-builds Start's request context
(`testRequestContext()`, Start's internal field names): every build's
server bundle is Start's own server entry over a real router whose route
tree has a probe server route, and `ssr.run` scripts run inside a request
for that route, which the server entry serves. The dev-server harness gets
the same (`startRequestFiles`, `inDevRequest`), and start-host shares the
probe (`request-probe.ts`).

React Vite builds get `@vitejs/plugin-react`, as in every React Start app,
and the build's warnings go through the app's own `onwarn` chain (its
"use client" silencing). Test apps whose `getRouter` returned a stand-in
object get a real router.

Subject: [PATCH 0731/1425] test(compiler-tests): final pass F-A2: structured
 build diagnostics, G7 trap probes, provenance, Hydrate chunk rule, two pins

- ctu: BuildResult.warnings/consoleMessages and BuildError.warnings are
  channel diagnostics with a severity (bundlerReports, statsDiagnostics);
  a Vite logger error of a build that succeeds is reported as an error;
  diagnosticsOf keeps a captured diagnostic's severity. Controls.
- rp build sites that must warn ask for severity 'warning'.
- ctu global-trap: shared G7 trap (reads, writes, own-property probes,
  definitions, deletions) used by rp production-bundle and spc start-host;
  rp asserts the no-router premise on the control page. Controls.
- rp route-app: provenance observes plugins given as Promises and returned
  by applyToEnvironment. Controls.
- spc render: the Hydrate chunk rule's empty-map fallback walks the case
  module's own graph only, and a module the dev server fails to serve is
  never case code. Controls.
- Pins: a class only the unsplit loader reads, next to a split component
  (isKnownBug row); the empty source map of a split text-only Hydrate
  child (with control).

+ *
+ * `globalTrapSource` gives the source of a JavaScript expression to run in
+ * the page before any of the page's own code (an init script, or the first
+ * module of the app). It defines each trapped name on the global object as

+ * - an own-property probe of the global object (`hasOwnProperty`,

+ *   `Reflect.has`);
+ * - a definition on it (`Object.defineProperty`, `defineProperties`,
+ *   `Reflect.defineProperty`), and a deletion or redefinition found later.
+ *
+ * An `in` probe (`'$RefreshReg$' in window`) cannot be recorded itself: a
+ * browser's global object is no proxy, and every object of its prototype
+ * chain has an immutable prototype (HTML), so no code sees the lookup. The
+ * accessor makes such a probe true, so the code it guards runs, and what
+ * that code then reads or writes is recorded (the controls in
+ * `tests/integration/global-trap.test.ts`).

Subject: [PATCH 0732/1425] test(compiler-tests): final pass F-B: shared hosts
 and bounded pages, fast tiers within budget

The client checks of the fast tiers run in real Chromium pages and dev
servers; that made router-plugin and start-plugin-core `test:unit` take
26-39 s against hard limits of 10 s and 8 s (FINAL-PASS #13, #19), and
Chromium failed module requests under load (#40).

- ctu browser: `runInPage` runs on a bounded pool of pages per test
  process (`runPageLimit`), each run holding its page alone and the page
  leaving the run's document before another run gets it; `openPage`
  keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open.
- ctu test-scope: the test a piece of work belongs to, also in concurrent
  files (an `aroundEach` setup file); per-test cleanups use it instead of
  Vitest's global `onTestFinished`. The setup file also gives each test
  file the environment and working directory it started with (a
  `vite build` of an earlier file left `NODE_ENV=production` behind).
- ctu outcome: `failWhenQuietFor` ends an edit wait once every host stayed
  quiet without the outcome; route HMR pins fail after 3 s quiet instead
  of the 15 s bound.
- router-plugin route apps: hosts leased to one test at a time and kept
  for the test process; the fast tier and the new `integration-pages`
  project run the tests of a file concurrently, keep modules across files.
  Twelve route-app files move to `tests/integration/pages/`.
- start-plugin-core: Start hosts kept across the files of a worker, each
  host with a pool of pages for concurrent runs (in-flight requests reset
  on a new document: a hydrate pin waited 10 s on stale counts); five
  `<Hydrate>`/import-forms files move to `tests/integration/pages/`.
- Files over the 15 s slow-tier limit split in two or three.
- ctu import-gate control on a fixture workspace of its own (#51).

No hook recorders, module ids, queries or hand-registered routes.
-- Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (one page per test process, reused). `evaluateServed`, `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins); do not add callers.
+- Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `evaluateServed`, `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins); do not add callers.
+- What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). A run page leaves the run's document before another run gets it, so it never follows a dev server's HMR.
+- Per-test resources in a helper (a leased host, a page, an app) belong to the test of `./test-scope` (`currentTest()`, `onTestFinished`), not Vitest's global `onTestFinished`: in a concurrent file the global one names the test that started last. A project that uses them lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/test-scope-setup` in `setupFiles` (it also gives each test file the process environment and working directory it started with).
 - Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`). "Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. Judge causes with `explains` (content), not `causes` (a deprecated word list).
   - Each channel gets its own work's output, also what a bundler's native callbacks print (Rolldown hooks, Rspack hooks): by the app root it names, or as the only work open; otherwise every open channel gets it, marked `shared`. A compilation's report is recorded once, from the compilation, not again from Rsbuild's logger. The Rsbuild hosts stay quiet in the terminal and the page (`logLevel` and `dev.client.logLevel` `silent`); never raise them to see Rsbuild's output.
-- Edits settle on their outcome within one bound (`./outcome` `waitForOutcome`, the dev harnesses' `edit`/`settle`), never on counts of events, compiles or updates.
+- Edits settle on their outcome within one bound (`./outcome` `waitForOutcome`, the dev harnesses' `edit`/`settle`), never on counts of events, compiles or updates.

 - **Label:** an implementation test is a file under a directory named `outside-compiler-corpus/` in a package's `tests/` (fast tier) or `tests/integration/` (slow tier). One label, by location; no tags or name prefixes. A corpus file that contains an implementation block moves that block to such a file. Its header says why it is outside the corpus and which corpus test decides the outcome instead, if any.
 - **Selection** (router-plugin, start-plugin-core, router-generator: Vitest projects in `vite.config.ts`):
-  - `test:unit` (project `unit`, plus `types` in router-generator) and `test:integration` (project `integration`) select the corpus only: they exclude `**/outside-compiler-corpus/**`.

+  - `integration-pages` (files under `tests/integration/pages/`) is slow-tier acceptance like `integration`: page tests of the fast tier's kind (router-plugin route apps, start-plugin-core `<Hydrate>` and import forms) whose cost does not fit the fast tier's budget. Its tests run concurrently within a file (`sequence.concurrent`): each holds its own leased host (router-plugin `route-app.ts`) or its own pages of the file's host (start-plugin-core `start-host.ts`). router-plugin's `unit` runs the same way.
+  - The projects with browser pages and the `integration` projects of router-plugin and start-plugin-core keep modules across the test files of a worker (`isolate: false`): the browser, and hosts a file gives back, serve later files. A file must leave nothing behind but what the harness owns (it gets its environment back from the setup file).
   - `test:implementation` (projects `implementation` and `implementation-integration`) selects the implementation tests of both tiers; `test:implementation:unit` the fast ones only.
   - The root `test:pr`/`test:ci` scripts and the compiler platform workflow run the implementation targets too, so no implementation test is lost; acceptance of a rewrite reads only `test:unit` and `test:integration`.
 - **Harness controls** of a compiler package (tests of its own test helpers that drive the real compiler, e.g. router-plugin's `regression-helpers.test.ts` in both tiers) are outside the corpus too: they check the oracle, not the compiler, and a correct rewrite may differ in the incidental details they lean on.

Subject: [PATCH 0733/1425] test(compiler-tests): F-B follow-ups: run pages
 leave their document before a run returns; deterministic pin; no ENOTEMPTY
 retry

- ctu browser: `runInPage` returns once its page left the run's
  document. The page used to leave it after the run returned; a full
  reload the dev server sent then (after the test's edit) started a
  reload that outlived the page's way to `about:blank` and interrupted
  the next run's navigation under load. The navigation retry that hid it
  is gone. Control in tests/integration/browser.test.ts (a message the
  dev server sends right after a run reaches no page; fails on the old
  parking).
- rp known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings: served imports are compared by
  path. On a host that served an earlier route with a file of the same
  name, the dev server imports it with its HMR timestamp (`?t=`), and the
  exact match missed it: the pin then passed.
- ctu build-harness: app removal no longer retries ENOTEMPTY (#34 is an
  upstream Vite bug pending a ruling; its failures stay visible).

 - Drive a compiler only through the public plugins a user configures: `./plugin-host` (`createPluginHost`, Vite: server code through the environment's module runner, client code in the shared Chromium page, `vite build`) and `./rsbuild-plugin-host` (`createRsbuildPluginHost`, Rsbuild's JavaScript API). No hook recorders, module ids, queries or hand-registered routes.
 - Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `evaluateServed`, `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins); do not add callers.
-- What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). A run page leaves the run's document before another run gets it, so it never follows a dev server's HMR.

 - Per-test resources in a helper (a leased host, a page, an app) belong to the test of `./test-scope` (`currentTest()`, `onTestFinished`), not Vitest's global `onTestFinished`: in a concurrent file the global one names the test that started last. A project that uses them lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/test-scope-setup` in `setupFiles` (it also gives each test file the process environment and working directory it started with).
 - Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`). "Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. Judge causes with `explains` (content), not `causes` (a deprecated word list).
   - Each channel gets its own work's output, also what a bundler's native callbacks print (Rolldown hooks, Rspack hooks): by the app root it names, or as the only work open; otherwise every open channel gets it, marked `shared`. A compilation's report is recorded once, from the compilation, not again from Rsbuild's logger. The Rsbuild hosts stay quiet in the terminal and the page (`logLevel` and `dev.client.logLevel` `silent`); never raise them to see Rsbuild's output.

Subject: [PATCH 0734/1425] test(compiler-tests): final pass F-E-a: idle HMR
 client root cause, strict import gate in CI, oracle docs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- ctu dev server (#56): a listening Vite dev server binds 127.0.0.1, as
  every other harness server. Vite's `localhost` names ::1 and 127.0.0.1
  while it listens on ::1 only; Node's address-family selection gives the
  first address 500 ms on the event loop's clock, so a worker blocked past
  that abandoned the connection the kernel made and was refused at
  127.0.0.1 ("no HMR connection" at host start under load). Control in
  tests/integration/plugin-host.test.ts (blocks the loop after each
  connection attempt; red with `localhost`, green with the fix). No retry.
- Import gate (#17): strict mode is a CI target (root test:pr/test:ci,
  Nx target default, compiler platform workflow; the target exists in
  every compiler package so `nx affected` runs it). Its only exceptions are
  `pendingRulingAllowlist` entries (Q5 control, spc pending-rulings Q6/Q7,
  and the legacy helpers only they reach); each names its ruling, an
  allowlisted helper another test reaches fails, a stale entry fails.
  Controls on the fixture workspace.
- Docs (#18, #52): oracle README (measured status with TODO(F-E-b)
  placeholders, entry points, hosts, browser, diagnostics and severity,
  lanes, gate, variant runner, pending rulings), RULINGS (severity floor,
  explains, restructure rulings incl. R10 entry-last and R3 flips,
  budgets, export-* pins, real requests, F1, out-of-scope findings,
  parentheses around components, 127.0.0.1), KNOWN-BUGS regenerated from
  the corpus pins (367 sites in 102 files) with the upstream list and
  harness locations, SPEC (G5 severity/explains, §5.5 component parens,
  §5.7 severity, J6.5 trace order, §8 entry points), ctu AGENTS.md.

No hook recorders, module ids, queries or hand-registered routes.
+  - A Vite host with `client: true` listens (on `127.0.0.1`, as every harness server: FINAL-PASS #56), serves a page the plugins transform (`transformIndexHtml`), pre-bundles dependencies, and keeps an idle HMR client connected for its lifetime, so a full reload sent between runs reaches no later run's page.
+  - The packages' own hosts build on these and are shared within a test process: router-plugin `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`: hosts leased to one test at a time, one per configuration, free hosts beyond `freeHostLimit` closed) and start-plugin-core `tests/start-host.ts` (`useStartHost`/`useStartHosts`: one host per file and options, taken before the file's tests and given back after them).
 - Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `evaluateServed`, `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins); do not add callers.
 - What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). `runInPage` returns only once the run's page left the run's document: what the dev server sends after the run (a full reload after the test's edit) reaches no page a later run gets.
 - Per-test resources in a helper (a leased host, a page, an app) belong to the test of `./test-scope` (`currentTest()`, `onTestFinished`), not Vitest's global `onTestFinished`: in a concurrent file the global one names the test that started last.

 ## Corpus and implementation tests
 
-The compiler test corpus is meant to be an oracle: a compiler that passes every corpus test should be a good compiler.

Until the repair lands, do not change a test's assertions, inputs or expected outcomes to fit a compiler; adapt only the harness entry points, and report anything else. Some useful tests check choices of today's implementation that a correct rewrite may make differently (printed bytes, log policy, internal generators called with forced options such as the server fn resolver generator, perf counters). Those are **implementation tests**, kept and run, but not part of the corpus.

-- **a binding read by a computed-key option and a split option is created once.** A binding that an option with a computed key and a split option both read is created twice: the computed-key option is not seen as a reader of the route module.
-- **a binding declared by $name and read by the loader and the split component is initialized once.** A `var` nested in a statement, an enum or a namespace is not shared.
-- **top-level writes to $name stay with the binding they write.** A top-level statement that writes a binding stays in the reference module when the binding moves to the shared module or a split chunk.
-- **module state that the reference module keeps for $name is initialized once.** Shared bindings are computed from the statically named route options only (`computeSharedBindings` skips computed keys), so a declaration that one split chunk reads and that the reference module keeps as well (for an export, a top-level call, another binding of the declaration, or a route option under a computed key, pinned above) is not shared: the chunk declares its own copy.
-- **an unreferenced top-level side effect ($name) runs once, with the route module.** Split chunks keep the top-level statements that nothing references, except expression statements that read only imports: dead-code elimination only removes what the split made unreferenced, and `stripUnreferencedTopLevelExpressionStatements` only strips expression statements that name no module-level binding. Cause: `router-utils/src/compiler-helpers.ts`, `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **split chunks do not re-export a module-level export \*, which importers of the route file still get.** Same root cause as above: every split chunk keeps the route file's `export * from './lib'`.
-- **an ambient declare const read by the loader and the split component stays a global.** An ambient `declare const` is handled as a module binding.
-- **the initializers of $name run when the route module loads.** The route module drops a declaration that only an exported type alias reads: it loses that reader when the code splitter removes the alias with the other exports, and the initializer then never runs.
-- **the initializer of a declaration only an exported type alias reads runs when a route module compiled for HMR loads.** Same as the type alias row above, in a route module compiled by the route HMR plugin (automatic code splitting off), which runs the same reference compiler.
-- **a split component and its imports leave the route module next to $name.** Page code that only the split component needs stays in the route module, with what it imports, when something there looks like a read of it: a type of the same name (TypeScript keeps types and values in separate namespaces), an overload signature or a second `var` declaration (dead-code elimination keeps them), or an unused function that renders it (one that renders the split component itself works: control in code-splitter-dead-code.test.ts).
-- **the handler of a split loader in object form with $name loads lazily.** Once the object form compiles (pins above), its handler must also end up split: a loader configured to be split that stays in the route module is our limitation, not a pattern the user can change (decision D11).
-- **a split loader in object form keeps $name working, created once.** Same root cause as the object-form pins above.
-- **a component is split with $name.** A route whose options object or factory call is wrapped in a TypeScript cast is not split at all, and a component wrapped in `satisfies` cannot be split: the virtual compiler throws "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: TSSatisfiesExpression".
-- **an option written as $name is split and works.** The virtual compiler accepts only a fixed list of expression types for the value of a split option; any other expression the route module splits makes the build throw "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: MemberExpression" (LogicalExpression, TaggedTemplateExpression, ClassExpression).
-- **a component written as $name is split and renders.** A component option written as a call cannot be split when its printed code does not parse on its own with Babel's default options: the virtual compiler prints the call and parses it again as a script statement, without JSX ("Support for the experimental syntax 'jsx' isn't currently enabled") and without TypeScript ("Unexpected token"). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **a component is split when createFileRoute is imported under an alias.** The code splitter only recognises `createFileRoute` under its own name, so a route whose factory is imported under an alias is not split, and nothing says so.

-- **route options returned by a call are split or reported.** Route options returned by a call (`createFileRoute('/')( makeOptions())`) are neither split nor reported.
-- **each of two file routes of one module renders its own component, or the module is reported.** A route file that creates two file routes compiles both routes' split options into the same chunk names, so one route renders the other's component, silently.
-- **a split chunk holds only what its option needs, not the other exports of the route file.** A split chunk keeps every exported `function`, `class` and `export default function` declaration of the route file, with the imports they use, whether its option reads them or not (`compilers.ts`, the virtual compiler keeps exported declarations). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **split chunks do not re-export or declare the re-exports and default class of the route file.** Same root cause as above, for re-exports and a default-exported class: every split chunk re-exports them or declares the class again.
-- **a module without JSX does not import the classic factory ($name).** The route module keeps importing the classic JSX factory its pragma names (and the chunk the fragment factory) after the JSX that compiles to it moved to a split chunk (D5 family).
-- **a component declared by an array destructuring of a call shared with the errorComponent renders.** A split option that names a binding declared by an array destructuring cannot be split: the virtual compiler throws "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: VariableDeclarator".
-- **a route file binding named $name keeps its value.** The code splitter declares fixed names in the modules it emits (`SplitComponent`, `SplitLoader`) without checking that the route file does not use them.
 - **groupings declared in a module-level constant are honoured.** `codeSplitGroupings` must be written inline; a module-level constant holding the groupings is refused ("You must provide an array of arrays for the codeSplitGroupings").
 - **module state a method option shares with a split option is created once.** Shared bindings are computed from route options written as `key: value` only, so a binding that an option written as a method (kept in the route module) and a split option both read is not shared: the split chunk declares its own copy.
 - **a destructuring whose sibling reads Route keeps one cache for the loader and the component.** Bindings that depend on `Route` are never shared (`removeBindingsDependingOnRoute`), and a destructuring is never split across modules, so a `Map` declared next to a binding that reads `Route` is created by the route module and again by the chunk that reads it.

 - **by default, is not logged, and the client gets the real module.** In dev, the Vite adapter checks the server-only marker a dependency imports when it resolves the marker import, whatever `excludeFiles` says (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts, marker handling in `resolveId`; the build twin is pinned in build-options.test.ts), and then reads the importer's code from Vite's `getModuleInfo(importer).code`, which the dev server does not support: loading the dependency throws "[vite] The "code" property of ModuleInfo is not supported."

+    dev server) and `start-compiler-dev-server.test.ts` under load.
+- **The React Refresh wrapper appends its footer without a line break.** `@vitejs/plugin-react` 6.0.1 uses Rolldown's
+  `viteReactRefreshWrapperPlugin` (Vite 8.3.4), which appends `import * as RefreshRuntime …` right after the
+  module's code. A module that ends in a line comment loses the footer's first line, and the next hot update throws
+  `RefreshRuntime is not defined`. Reachable at baseline when import protection rewrites a component module whose
+  last statement has a trailing line comment.
+  - Not pinned: the compiler's output is valid JavaScript; the concatenation is the bug. The R4 printing variant
+    was changed instead (it no longer ends its output with a line comment). No harness change.
+- **Vite's resolver cuts file paths at `#`.** Outside `node_modules`, Vite's `tryFsResolve` treats `#` in a file
+  path as a fragment (`cleanUrl`), so a query import of a file under a directory named `c#proj` does not resolve
+  (dev and build). A plain Vite app fails the same way.
+  - Not pinned (the Start build-ids pin was removed): not reachable as a compiler outcome.
+- **Vite's TypeScript transform skips `.cts`.** `vite:oxc`'s default `include` has no `.cts`, and neither it nor
+  Rolldown's extension inference handles a `.cts` id with a query. A `.cts` module with TypeScript-only syntax fails
+  in dev, and in a build once it is imported with a query, also in a plain Vite app.
+  - Not pinned (the dev pin was dropped; builds are not pinned): the compiler's query-suffixed module is ordinary
+    Vite practice.
+- **es-module-lexer cannot parse a default and a string-keyed named import in one declaration.** Vite 8's
+  es-module-lexer (2.3.2) fails on `import def, { "kebab-name" as kebab } from "x"`, which is valid JavaScript, with
+  or without Start.

+    re-export") writes the two imports as separate declarations. Not pinned.
+- **@vitejs/plugin-rsc's dev runtime imports a missing `default`.** Its dev runtime imports a `default` export that
+  `virtual:vite-rsc/server-references` does not provide.
+  - Scoping, not a workaround: the strict module runner of `compiler-test-utils/src/strict-runner.ts` checks named
+    imports only in the app's own modules.
+- **Node abandons a connection the kernel made when the event loop is blocked (final-pass #56).** Node's
+  address-family selection (`autoSelectFamily`) gives each address 500 ms on the event loop's clock and closes the
+  pending attempt when its timer fires. A test worker blocked for longer (other tests' synchronous work under heavy
+  load) abandoned the `::1` connection to Vite's `localhost` server and was refused at `127.0.0.1`: "no HMR
+  connection" at host start.

-- **Internal entry points.** Many acceptance tests reach the compilers through internal modules, internal ids
-  (virtual-module queries, resolver ids) and helpers built on them, not only through the public plugins. A
-  correct compiler built differently can fail them before any assertion runs. Six restructures of today's
-  compiler meant to keep its behaviour (moved modules, renamed ids and generated names, reworded diagnostics,
-  another printer, another AST seam) made 1,893 of the 4,268 acceptance test cases fail under at least one of
-  them: 44%, not counting the few failures where a restructure did change behaviour. Moved modules alone broke
-  1,849. A few tests and pins also assume today's generated names, printed text or chunk counts.
-- **Diagnostics read through today's format.** Some helpers parse import-protection reports by their labels,
-  match cause words from a fixed list, or read only one diagnostic channel. Rewording the diagnostics alone

+The suite was repaired (October 2026) so that it reaches the compilers only through public entry points, runs real
+tools, and judges client code in a real browser. What was measured at the end of the repair:
 
-Each package has a fast tier (`test:unit`: in process, the inner loop) and a slow tier (`test:integration`, under
-`tests/integration/`: real builds, dev servers and browser pages).
+- **Restructured compilers pass.** Eleven behaviour-preserving restructures of today's compilers (R1–R11: moved
+  modules, renamed ids and generated names, another printer, reworded diagnostics, another AST seam, other report
+  channels, another server-function provider architecture, other chunk layouts, other trace order, other loader
+  paths) were each run against the whole acceptance suite.
+  TODO(F-E-b): the final matrix at the final HEAD (failing acceptance tests per variant, expected pin flips, and
+  the rows held by pending rulings).
+- **Wrong compilers are caught, correct ones pass.** TODO(F-E-b): the V4 numbers at the final HEAD (red variants
+  of rounds 1 and 2 caught, out of 90; valid greens clean).
+- **No internal imports.** The strict import gate passes in CI. The only internal imports left are held by pending
+  user rulings, through the gate's allowlist (below).
+- **Fast.** On a quiet machine at 4 workers every tier is under its hard budget in strict mode (no slow-tier file
+  over 15 s; edit to result for one fast-tier file about 5 s). TODO(F-E-b): the stability runs (every tier twice,
+  identical counts) and the strict budgets at the final HEAD.

-## Acceptance corpus and implementation tests
+If a test cannot pass with your compiler although the compiler is correct, report it (with the SPEC clause it
+contradicts) instead of changing the test. Do not change assertions, inputs or expected outcomes to fit a compiler.
 
-The corpus is `test:unit` plus `test:integration`. Tests under a `tests/**/outside-compiler-corpus/` directory are
-implementation tests: they check choices of today's implementation (printed bytes, log policy, internal entry
-points, performance counters). They run with `test:implementation` (router-generator, router-plugin,
-start-plugin-core), and CI runs them too. A correct new compiler may legitimately fail them: delete or rewrite them
-with the implementation they describe. The rules for the label are in
-[../AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md#corpus-and-implementation-tests).

+Each package has a fast tier (`test:unit`: in process, the inner loop) and a slow tier (`test:integration`, under
+`tests/integration/`: real builds, dev servers and browser pages; `integration-pages` holds page tests of the fast
+tier's kind that do not fit its budget).
+
+## How tests reach the compilers
+
+Only through public entry points: the plugins and options a user configures, run by the real tools. No test or
+helper imports a compiler internal, calls an internal class, or depends on module ids, queries, generated names,
+chunk layout, printed code or AST shapes.
+
+- **Hosts.** `compiler-test-utils/src/plugin-host.ts` hosts the public Vite plugins in a real Vite dev server
+  (server code through the environment's module runner, client code in the browser) and runs `vite build` with the
+  same plugins. `rsbuild-plugin-host.ts` does the same with Rsbuild's JavaScript API. Builds also run through
+  Rspack and webpack (`build-harness.ts`). The packages' own hosts build on these: router-plugin's `route-app.ts`
+  (a route file loaded as an app loads it, registered by the plugin's own generator) and start-plugin-core's
+  `start-host.ts` (a Start app with a real router and a probe route). Hosts are shared within a test process and
+  leased to one test at a time.
+- **Server code** runs inside real requests through Start's server entry, with a real router. Nothing builds
+  Start's request context by hand.
+- **Client code runs in Chromium.** `browser.ts` runs scripts in bounded run pages (a fresh document per run) and
+  opens pages of the app for the page tests, with the real Vite client, the framework's refresh runtime, real ES
+  module linking and the real framework renderer. Nothing judges client semantics in Node (no jsdom, no fake
+  `window` or `import.meta.hot`).
+- **Edits** are written to disk like a user's, reported by the real watcher, and settle on their outcome within one
+  bound (`outcome.ts` `waitForOutcome`), never on counts of compiles or updates.
+- **Laziness and provenance.** Which modules a compiler emitted is told by provenance (the plugin's own `load` and
+  `transform` hooks observed in that build), never by id, path or the helper that builds a lazy value.
+
+## Diagnostics
+
+Every channel is read together (`diagnostic-channel.ts`): console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's
+logger, and bundler compilations (warnings and errors), in dev and in builds. Diagnostics are judged by content
+(`diagnostics.ts`): the file named (absolute or project-relative, §5.7), the original position where required, the
+API or option, and an actionable cause (`explains`: no wording lists; a generic internal error does not explain).
+Wording and channel are free. Severity is not: where SPEC says "warn", a diagnostic must be at least a warning (an
+info or log line does not count), and where it says the build fails, it must fail (RULINGS "diagnostic severity").
+"Nothing reported" (`expectNoProblems`) reads every channel.
+
+## Lanes
+
+| Lane            | Where                                                                           | Targets                                                                    | Decides acceptance |
+| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
+| Corpus          | `tests/**`, outside `outside-compiler-corpus/`                                  | `test:unit`, `test:integration`                                            | yes                |
+| Pending rulings | `start-plugin-core/tests/pending-rulings/`, and the Q5 control in router-plugin | `test:unit`, `test:integration` (held in the corpus as they are)           | yes, until ruled   |
+| Implementation  | `tests/**/outside-compiler-corpus/`                                             | `test:implementation` (router-generator, router-plugin, start-plugin-core) | no                 |
+| Noncompiler     | `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/noncompiler/`                                    | `test:noncompiler` (start-plugin-core, react-start-rsc)                    | no                 |
+
+Implementation tests check choices of today's implementation (printed bytes, log policy, internal entry points,
+performance counters); a correct new compiler may fail them: delete or rewrite them with the implementation they
+describe. Noncompiler tests cover runtime and build plumbing. CI runs every lane. Harness controls (this package's
+tests, and the packages' tests of their own helpers) check the oracle itself.
+
+## The import gate
+
+`test:import-gate:strict` (`compiler-test-utils/src/import-gate.ts`) fails if an acceptance test or a helper it
+reaches imports a compiler internal: anything not reachable through the package's `exports` (also `vi.mock`,
+dynamic `import()`, `require` and `typeof import()`). It runs in root `test:pr`/`test:ci` and in the compiler
+platform workflow. Its only exceptions are the imports of the tests held by pending rulings, listed one by one in
+`pendingRulingAllowlist` with their ruling; a stale entry fails too. Paths computed at run time are out of a static
+gate's reach. Details in [../AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md#import-gate).
 
 ## Pins (`.fails`)
 
 A test marked `.fails` (`test.fails`, `it.fails.each`, or `bundler === 'vite' ? test : test.fails`) is a pin: it
 asserts the correct outcome for a bug that today's compiler has, so it fails today. Its comment says `Bug:`,
 `Impact:` and `Source:`. Pins are fix-agnostic: any correct fix passes them, and where the spec allows a clear
-error instead of support, the pin accepts that error too.
+error instead of support, the pin accepts that error too. A pin's cause is in a compiler or its bundler integration
+(runtime bugs are not pinned).
 
 When a pin starts passing, Vitest reports "Expect test to fail". That means the bug is fixed: remove the `.fails`
 and keep the test as a regression test. A new compiler will flip many pins at once; that is expected and good.
 [KNOWN-BUGS.md](./KNOWN-BUGS.md) indexes them by job.
 
-## Real tools and public entry points
-
-The rule (RULINGS "real tools only"): tests drive the real tools (Vite, Rsbuild, Rspack and webpack builds and dev
-servers, framework plugins, Chromium pages, React, Solid and Vue runtimes, HMR clients), run client code in a
-browser, reach the compilers only through their public entry points, and never copy a tool's, a runtime's or our
-own code's logic.
-
-Neither tier meets it fully today (see the status at the top). The slow tier runs real builds, dev servers and
-browser pages, but many of its helpers set the plugins up from internal modules. Much of the fast tier compiles
-through internal classes, evaluates client output in Node and relies on hand-written stand-ins. Either way, a new
-compiler must work through the real plugin entry points, not only through an in-process API.
-
-## Running tests
-
-Read [../AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md) first. It explains how to run one file or one test name through Nx in about 5
-seconds, the load gate for the slow tier (at most two slow-tier runs on the machine), and the strict budget mode
-(`COMPILER_TEST_BUDGETS=strict` on a quiet machine). Always go through Nx: running Vitest directly can test a stale

+  runner applies one, builds through Nx, runs every acceptance tier, re-runs each failing file alone with and
+  without the patch, and reports per test: `fail`, `fail-load`, `pin-flip`, with an attribution to the helper that
+  threw. Expected pin flips (a variant that fixes a pinned bug) are listed separately. The runner and the patches
+  are in the repair's working notes, not in the repository
+  (`validation/REPAIR/variant-runner/README.md`, `validation/COUPLING/variants/`):
+  `bash local.sh <commit> <outdir> [R1 R2 ...]` runs them on one local tree. Patches are diffs of
+  `packages/*/src`; a new compiler needs new restructures of its own.
+- **Adversarial compilers.** Reviewers wrote wrong compilers ("red", each with the clause it breaks) and correct
+  but different ones ("green") as product patches, and ran the corpus against each: every red must fail some
+  acceptance test for its stated reason, every green must pass. After a major compiler change, run another round:
+  an attacker who may read the tests writes wrong compilers that pass the corpus, and each escape gets a row.
+  Re-check correct-but-different variants too, so the new rows do not pin one implementation.

-- **Adversarial compilers.** Reviewers wrote compiler variants as patches to the product source and ran the whole

-  could not detect tests that depend on that structure. Restructured variants did (see the status at the top).
-  In the final round, all 90 wrong compilers (from four authors over two rounds) were caught, and all 34
-  correct-but-different compilers passed. When first run, the corpus caught 47 of the 50 first-round
-  wrong compilers and 18 of the 40 second-round ones, and flagged 5 of 20 and then 4 of 15 valid ones. Every
-  escape got a new test, and every false alarm was fixed in the tests or the spec.
-- **Independent review.** Two reviewers, each a different AI model, checked every test against the spec, and an
-  arbiter settled their disagreements. Every confirmed finding was fixed.
-- **Stability.** Every flake seen under load was traced to its root cause and fixed (or pinned when the cause is a
-  product bug). The final merges ran every tier twice with identical counts and no flakes.
-- **Speed.** On a quiet machine at 4 workers every tier is under its hard budget, no slow-tier file takes over

+### diagnostic severity
+
+§5.7 frees the channel and the wording of a diagnostic, not its severity. Where the spec says "warn", the
+diagnostic must be at least a warning: a warning, or an error where the clause allows refusal. An info or log line
+does not satisfy it. Where the spec says the build fails, it must fail. The shared matchers
+(`compiler-test-utils/src/diagnostics.ts`, `DiagnosticExpectation.severity`) accept a warning or an error unless a

+checked at that severity. Clauses: G5, §5.7.
+
+### explaining a diagnostic
+
+A diagnostic "explains" a problem when it names its actionable cause: the category (placement, an unsupported
+shape, an environment restriction) plus guidance or the API involved. A generic internal error ("unexpected node
+type", an engine `TypeError`) does not, even if it names the file. The shared matcher is `explains` of
+`compiler-test-utils/src/diagnostics.ts`, which judges content, not wording (no word lists). Clauses: G5, §5.7.
+
+### restructured compilers
+
+A correct compiler built differently from today's must pass every acceptance test. The repair measured this with
+behaviour-preserving restructures of today's compilers (R1–R11: moved modules, renamed generated names, reworded
+diagnostics, another printer, another provider architecture, other chunk layouts, extra exports, …). Rulings on
+what those restructures may do:
+
+- Extra exports of compiler packages (R7) and extra metadata on runtime objects (R8: `name`/`filename` on SSR
+  client middleware, §5.19) are allowed.
+- Import-protection traces may list the entry last (R10). J6.5 asks for a real bounded chain from an entry and J6.12
+  leaves the display free: the entry must be identifiable (by position or marker) and the direction unambiguous.
+  Tests must not require entry-first numbering or an `(entry)` marker.
+- Pins whose inputs choose names that collide with today's generated names flip when a compiler generates other
+  names (R3). That is expected (the inputs are valid); the adaptive pins next to them, which read the names a
+  compiler actually generates, are the structure-free checks.

+Clauses: §5.1, §5.19, J6.5, J6.12, §8.

+### test budgets
+
+Budgets serve local iteration, not CI: the hard limits are local runs at 4 workers (fast tier, slow tier per
+package, 15 s per slow-tier file, edit to result for one fast-tier file); CI times are reported only. A tier over
+budget is fixed, not re-budgeted: one shared host per worker, bounded browser pages, and browser-heavy files moved
+to the slow tier's `integration-pages` project. No Nx target splits or sharding to meet a number. Clause: §8.

Subject: [PATCH 0735/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): NEW-2 stays an open
 question; three doc corrections
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- SPEC §5.5 stated that parentheses around component-defining expressions
  are not free, citing a ruling that does not exist. It now records the
  open question: "Pending user ruling NEW-2: whether redundant parentheses
  around component-defining expressions are free; they break React Fast
  Refresh registration under SWC/Rsbuild." RULINGS ("parentheses around
  components (pending: NEW-2)") and the README's pending-rulings table say
  the same.
- KNOWN-BUGS: the property-write pin was listed under a line of its body
  ("await entry.mount('/display-name')") instead of its title.
- README: the pin forms include the `{ fails: true }` option.
- AGENTS: the compiler platform workflow runs only `test:implementation:unit`;
  root test:pr/test:ci run the whole implementation lane.

   - `integration-pages` (files under `tests/integration/pages/`) is slow-tier acceptance like `integration`: page tests of the fast tier's kind (router-plugin route apps, start-plugin-core `<Hydrate>` and import forms) whose cost does not fit the fast tier's budget. Its tests run concurrently within a file (`sequence.concurrent`): each holds its own leased host (router-plugin `route-app.ts`) or its own pages of the file's host (start-plugin-core `start-host.ts`). router-plugin's `unit` runs the same way.
   - The projects with browser pages and the `integration` projects of router-plugin and start-plugin-core keep modules across the test files of a worker (`isolate: false`): the browser, and hosts a file gives back, serve later files. A file must leave nothing behind but what the harness owns (it gets its environment back from the setup file).
   - `test:implementation` (projects `implementation` and `implementation-integration`) selects the implementation tests of both tiers; `test:implementation:unit` the fast ones only.
-  - The root `test:pr`/`test:ci` scripts and the compiler platform workflow run the implementation targets too, so no implementation test is lost; acceptance of a rewrite reads only `test:unit` and `test:integration`.
+  - The root `test:pr`/`test:ci` scripts run the implementation targets too (the compiler platform workflow runs only `test:implementation:unit`), so no implementation test is lost locally or in PR CI; acceptance of a rewrite reads only `test:unit` and `test:integration`.
 - **Harness controls** of a compiler package (tests of its own test helpers that drive the real compiler, e.g. router-plugin's `regression-helpers.test.ts` in both tiers) are outside the corpus too: they check the oracle, not the compiler, and a correct rewrite may differ in the incidental details they lean on. Controls on fixed inputs may stay where they are.
 - A package that gets its first implementation test adds the two projects and the two scripts the same way. react-start-rsc selects its runtime tests in `test:noncompiler`. This package's own tests are harness controls, not compiler tests; none of them is an implementation test of a compiler.
 - **Noncompiler coverage:** start-plugin-core build plumbing and react-start-rsc runtime tests live under `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/noncompiler/` and run in `test:noncompiler`, excluded from the implementation projects too. Root `test:pr`/`test:ci` and compiler-platform CI run the lane. RSC compiler acceptance currently lives entirely in integration.

 status at 45f58967ea

Fill the F-E-b placeholders with the final measurements:
- restructure matrix R1-R11: no acceptance failures outside the 7 R2
  rows held by Q5/Q6/Q7; expected pin flips R3 x6, R8 x6, R9 x3
- V4 rounds 1+2: 90/90 reds caught, 34/34 valid greens clean
- stability: 9 unpatched runs, identical counts except one #42 row
- strict local budgets for all five packages, and the counts per lane
- caveats: pending rulings, upstream flakes #42 and #34, repeat
  test-aware adversarial rounds after major changes

+
+- **Pending user rulings hold some rows** (table below). They count toward acceptance as they are until ruled, and a
+  correct compiler may fail some of them: the Q5, Q6 and Q7 rows import compiler internals (R2 fails all 7), and the
+  others (Q1–Q4, Q8–Q10, NEW-1, NEW-2) keep an assertion or input whose fate the ruling decides.
+- **Two upstream flakes can fail rows no compiler change explains.**
+  - #42 (Vite's stale pre-bundled dependency): it fails up to three start-plugin-core integration rows,
+    `known-bugs-start-compiler-dev` "top-level call of a project function" and "top-level member call of a
+    pre-bundled dependency", and `start-compiler-dev-server` "a module importing a factory that stops being one keeps
+    its handler". It currently fails these three rows in most start-plugin-core integration runs on a developer
+    machine. In the 145 runs of this measurement on beetle it failed one or two of them in 13 runs.
+  - #34 (Vite's optimizer writes its cache after `close()`): an `ENOTEMPTY` on cleanup fails all 33 rows of
+    `integration/importProtection/mock-shapes.test.ts` in a run. It hit 3 of 145 runs.
+  - Re-run a file that failed only on these alone before reading it as a compiler failure.
+- **The adversarial evidence is not independent of the tests.** Round 2's escapes are caught by rows written for
+  them, and the attackers of rounds 1 and 2 wrote against earlier versions of the suite. After a major change of the
+  compilers or of these tests, run a new round with test-aware attackers and re-check correct-but-different
+  compilers (see "Re-running the measurements").
 
 If a test cannot pass with your compiler although the compiler is correct, report it (with the SPEC clause it
 contradicts) instead of changing the test. Do not change assertions, inputs or expected outcomes to fit a compiler.

Subject: [PATCH 0737/1425] test(compiler-tests): final pass F-F: real module
 graph, public server fn URLs, content-judged diagnostics
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Criterion 5 re-audit fixes (no re-implementation; client semantics in a browser):

- ctu dev server `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (`importedModules`
  of each served module: static and lazy imports, `import.meta.glob`)
  instead of parsing the served code for static imports; a marker leaked
  into a lazily imported module is now seen. The deprecated Node stand-in
  `evaluateServed` (no caller left but its own controls) is deleted with
  its controls. The perEnvironmentStartEndDuringDev pin requests the eager
  modules itself, so it keeps reproducing "the client loads late.ts after
  the server rendered".
- start-plugin-core: server fns are identified by their public `url`
  (SPEC J4.1), never by Start's own `serverFnMeta` field (§5.19):
  `serverFnId()` in the SSR prelude and `callServerFn()` (dev) derive the
  id from the URL and the base `createClientRpc('').url` gives; a value
  without a server fn URL throws outside any `try`. The #42-held rows'
  reads (start-compiler-dev-server :58, known-bugs-start-compiler-dev
  :166) stay as they are.
- Diagnostics by content: `suggestedDirections` reads a direction from the
  API named or from an explained suggestion naming one environment (no verb
  list); `expectAliasFailure` uses `explains` and the resolver's name (no
  wording regexes); `expectSourceError` requires `explains`; the imported
  route options refusal or warning names the option and explains (J2.8).
- router-plugin: the Rspack entry's `addHmr: false` is decided by
  behaviour on an Rsbuild dev page (the edit reloads, not applied in
  place) instead of a regex on today's local name `hot`; the out-of-order
  dev pins re-request every module the page loaded from the route on (no
  path filter, #29 class); the inert `vi.mock('node:url')` leftover in
  code-splitter-determinism is gone.
- Hydrate source-map row reads the case's split code (`client.chunks`),
  not lazy URLs under the case directory (§5.3).
- Nx: start-plugin-core `test:integration` builds `@tanstack/vue-start`

- FINAL-PASS #58: bundled-dev-styles listens and fetches on 127.0.0.1.
- Dead helper `start-plugin-core/tests/source-maps.ts` removed.

 - Drive a compiler only through the public plugins a user configures: `./plugin-host` (`createPluginHost`, Vite: server code through the environment's module runner, client code in a run page, `vite build`) and `./rsbuild-plugin-host` (`createRsbuildPluginHost`, Rsbuild's JavaScript API). No hook recorders, module ids, queries or hand-registered routes.
   - A Vite host with `client: true` listens (on `127.0.0.1`, as every harness server: FINAL-PASS #56), serves a page the plugins transform (`transformIndexHtml`), pre-bundles dependencies, and keeps an idle HMR client connected for its lifetime, so a full reload sent between runs reaches no later run's page.
   - The packages' own hosts build on these and are shared within a test process: router-plugin `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`: hosts leased to one test at a time, one per configuration, free hosts beyond `freeHostLimit` closed) and start-plugin-core `tests/start-host.ts` (`useStartHost`/`useStartHosts`: one host per file and options, taken before the file's tests and given back after them).
-- Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `evaluateServed`, `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins); do not add callers.
+- Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins, reached only by implementation-lane and pending-rulings helpers); do not add callers. A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.
 - What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). `runInPage` returns only once the run's page left the run's document: what the dev server sends after the run (a full reload after the test's edit) reaches no page a later run gets.
 - Per-test resources in a helper (a leased host, a page, an app) belong to the test of `./test-scope` (`currentTest()`, `onTestFinished`), not Vitest's global `onTestFinished`: in a concurrent file the global one names the test that started last. A project that uses them lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/test-scope-setup` in `setupFiles` (it also gives each test file the process environment and working directory it started with).
 - Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`). "Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. Judge causes with `explains` (content), not `causes` (a deprecated word list).

Subject: [PATCH 0738/1425] test(compiler-tests): decide route module dangling
 names on the real production build (G8)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

RULES-AUDIT §3 item 7 (R11(2)): router-plugin `expectValidModules` judged
G8 with the per-module approximation (the module bundled alone with every
export kept), which rejects a dangling read in an export the real graph
drops (§5.6, §5.9).

The module-alone check still runs first (no build for a correct
compiler); a module with a free name is checked again against a
`vite build` of the same app (the generated route tree as input, as the
app's router reads it), and the name counts only if the production client
chunks still read it free. A route compiled with route HMR keeps the
module-alone check: its HMR code runs in dev on an update, and production
drops it.

ctu `ShippedModule.module` is optional: without it a free name counts
wherever the build still ships it, so generated code without mappings
(§5.14) cannot hide a dangling read; control added.

Checked with temporary compiler patches (reverted): an unread export with
a dangling read (G8-legal) failed at least 20 of 28 rows of
code-splitter-route-options before and passes now; a shipped, unmapped
dangling read (`Route.options.x = () => undeclared`) is still caught.

Subject: [PATCH 0739/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): oracle README after the
 final pass F-F

Counts after F-F (four cells changed, with the reason), what F-F changed in
how tests reach the compilers (server fns by public URL, dev module graph
from Vite, G8 on the production build), the gaps the F-F audit found and
left open (hand-configured Start/framework options in the build and dev
harnesses, the webpack addHmr:false cell, a few option-object middleware
calls, a quiet-period settle), and the merged variant runner (patch set,
extra lanes, V4 rows). router-generator AGENTS.md: no expected snapshots.

Subject: [PATCH 0740/1425] test(router-plugin): G8 escalation also fails on a
 dangling name the production build spells otherwise

V-F validation of 88720e56a0: `expectValidModules` excused a dev module's
free name whenever the production build did not read that exact name, so
a compiler whose production output reads a different dangling name (e.g.
one that depends on the mode) passed 27 of 28 rows of
code-splitter-route-options (temporary compiler patch, reverted). The
escalation now also runs the build harness's own dangling-name check on
that production build (`describe('client')`, `DanglingNameError`), minus
the names the route file itself reads free; with the patch 22 of 28 rows
fail (the 6 others do not check modules), a G8-legal unused export with a
dangling read still passes.

`expectValidModules` reads the modules with the route file's language, so
code-splitter-scope's `.ts` row uses it instead of a direct module-alone
`getModuleErrors` (now decided on the production build like the others).
README: G8 sentence corrected, the remaining module-alone sites named.

Subject: [PATCH 0742/1425] test(compiler-tests): build harness apps with the
 plugins a real app configures
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

RULES-AUDIT §3 item 6 (hand-configured stand-ins).

- start-plugin-core: the build, Vite dev and Rsbuild dev harnesses create
  Start's plugin with `tanstackStart()` of the built framework package
  (`tests/start-plugins.ts`, shared with `start-host.ts`), so react-start's
  config plugin (dedupe, externals, pre-bundling) and Solid Start's own
  plugin apply; entries through the documented `client.entry`/`server.entry`
  only where the app has none; React apps get `@vitejs/plugin-react` /
  `@rsbuild/plugin-react` unless the test gives it; the harness's own
  `ssr.noExternal` and start entry are gone. Vue hosts add
  `@vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx` (new devDependency). `compilerTransforms`, which
  no public option takes, stays for the one implementation-lane file through
  `outside-compiler-corpus/core-start-plugin.ts`.
- router-plugin: Rsbuild builds use `pluginReact()` instead of a hand SWC
  config; Vite builds add the framework's Vite plugin (`@vitejs/plugin-react`,
  `@vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx`), not added again when a test gives it; webpack
  and Rspack Vue builds compile JSX with Vue's Babel plugin.
- react-start-rsc and the spc RSC warning app: `pluginReact()` instead of a
  hand SWC config.

No count or pin changed (beetle, every lane).

No hook recorders, module ids, queries or hand-registered routes.
   - A Vite host with `client: true` listens (on `127.0.0.1`, as every harness server: FINAL-PASS #56), serves a page the plugins transform (`transformIndexHtml`), pre-bundles dependencies, and keeps an idle HMR client connected for its lifetime, so a full reload sent between runs reaches no later run's page.

   - The packages' own hosts build on these and are shared within a test process: router-plugin `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`: hosts leased to one test at a time, one per configuration, free hosts beyond `freeHostLimit` closed) and start-plugin-core `tests/start-host.ts` (`useStartHost`/`useStartHosts`: one host per file and options, taken before the file's tests and given back after them).
 - Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins, reached only by implementation-lane and pending-rulings helpers); do not add callers. A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.
 - What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). `runInPage` returns only once the run's page left the run's document: what the dev server sends after the run (a full reload after the test's edit) reaches no page a later run gets.

Subject: [PATCH 0744/1425] test(router-generator): restore the fixture route
 files' quoting from main

Commit 3e3331caa3 swept in 299 fixture route files under
tests/generator/**/routes/** whose only change was ' to " around strings:
output of the V4 green-sol/01 variant (ids printed with double quotes),
which ran the generator fixtures in place (generator.test.ts runs a
fixture in its own directory). The commit's message names no fixture
change. The bytes equal main's again, so `pnpm format` leaves them alone
without an ignore pattern.

Subject: [PATCH 0745/1425] test(router-plugin): decide webpack addHmr: false
 by behaviour on a webpack dev server

The webpack cell of plugin-options "with addHmr: false, a development
build with the HMR plugin has no route HMR code" looked for
/\bhot\.accept\(/ in the build: today's local name. It is replaced by two
rows of route-hmr-dev-addhmr-off.test.ts on webpack-dev-server with
hot: true (the webpack quickstart example's setup, new devDependency
webpack-dev-server ^5.2.4, already in the lockfile) and a Chromium page
(tests/webpack-hmr-page.ts): with addHmr: false a loader edit reloads the
page; the control, with route HMR, applies it in place. Catch proof: with
addHmr ignored (addHmr = !isProduction) the row fails with
{ reloaded: false }.

+ * Route HMR of the router plugin's webpack entry as an app sees it: a real
+ * webpack dev server (`webpack-dev-server` with `hot: true`, the setup of the
+ * webpack quickstart example and `docs/router/installation/with-webpack.md`)
+ * serves a small file-based React app with the real router package, a real
+ * browser page (headless Chromium, `openPage`) runs it with webpack's own HMR
+ * client, and the test edits a route file on disk, which webpack's own
+ * watcher reports. The test reads the page: what it shows, whether it
+ * reloaded, and what it reported as an error.
+ *
+ * Nothing of the HMR path is modelled: webpack decides which modules accept
+ * the update, and its client (`webpack/hot/dev-server`) reloads the page when
+ * none does. The app's TypeScript compiles with `babel-loader` and
+ * `@babel/preset-typescript` (webpack has no TypeScript transform of its
+ * own); the app writes no JSX (`createElement`), so no JSX transform or React
+ * Refresh takes part: route HMR alone decides whether an edit applies in
+ * place.
+ *
+ * An edit settles on its outcome (`waitForOutcome`): first webpack compiled
+ * the written file (a compile that started after the write ended and nothing
+ * compiles), then the page shows the expected text with no request in
+ * flight, within one bound; never on how many compiles, hot updates or

Subject: [PATCH 0746/1425] test(start-plugin-core): run server middleware and
 route handlers through real requests

Rows that called .options.server({ next }) or .options.server.handlers.GET()
with a hand-written next now go through Start's server entry: a server fn
with the middleware called over HTTP (callById / callServerFn), the app's
request middleware registered in src/start.ts, route handlers by
startServerEntry.fetch. start-build-env-separation (6 rows),
known-bugs-start-compiler (integration), start-compiler-dev-server,
start-build-call-shapes. start-compiler-dev-server keeps the absence of a
full-reload payload for J3.6 (the server side has no page), now after the
outcome, with the reason.

Subject: [PATCH 0747/1425] test(start-plugin-core): settle dev pages on what
 the page took in, not a quiet period

start-router-dev-server's quiet() (300 ms without HMR messages) and the
full-reload message counts of start-router-dev-server and v2-edits-page
are replaced by settlePage (integration/hmr-sync.ts): the server sends a
custom HMR event until the page holds its token (one WebSocket, in order),
waiting through a full reload the page announced (vite:beforeFullReload);
"no full reload" is then the page's load count.

Subject: [PATCH 0748/1425] test(compiler-tests): fix-agnostic unused-chunk
 pins, out-of-order pins reached by a real page

known-bugs-hydrate expectNoUnusedChunks: the split modules are what Vite's
client module graph reaches from the case module (the case's code by
provenance), not import() specifiers parsed from the served code; the
page must have requested each. New passing control (JSX children).
known-bugs-dev-server editOutOfOrder: the dev server no longer gets
transform() calls in a test-chosen order; a real page whose HMR WebSocket
fails renders the route for the first time after the edit, so the browser
requests the split modules before the route module. Both pins stay red for
their stated reasons; controls pass.

 the object protocol free
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

probeMock's deepCall also called any.constructor.member() and
any.__proto__.member(): a mock that keeps its target's constructor and
prototype (SPEC §5.18 leaves the Proxy shape free) failed it. New harness
control: such a mock is safe; the rejecting controls still reject.

Subject: [PATCH 0750/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): oracle README after the
 final pass F-G2

Known gaps: the webpack addHmr cell, the hand-written next rows and the
300 ms settle are fixed; one fast-tier pin with a hand next is left
(named). How tests reach the compilers: webpack dev server, middleware
through requests, page-judged reloads. Counts: rp integration +1, spc
integration +1, spc implementation +1, with reasons.

Subject: [PATCH 0751/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin the computed-member
 request middleware once, in its build twin

The fast-tier row 'a request middleware server implementation called
through a computed member' of known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts checked
the server side with mw.options.server({ next: () => 'next' }), a
hand-written middleware chain. Its build twin in
integration/start-build-call-shapes.test.ts has the same input, the same
call site and names for a rejection, and the same outcome (no server-only
module in the client, the middleware runs on the server), and runs the
middleware as the app's request middleware in a real request. The
fast-tier host has no start entry per case, so the row is deleted rather
than kept with a stand-in chain. The other rows of the table keep the dev
path of the same root cause. KNOWN-BUGS.md is unchanged (the table is
one pin site; its entry does not list rows).

Subject: [PATCH 0752/1425] test(compiler-tests): addHmr: false Vite rows
 settle on the page, not a 3 s bound

route-hmr-dev-addhmr-off's Vite rows waited at most 3 s for the edit to
show and took a timeout for 'not shown', then waited for network idle:
an update applied in place late under load could be missed. They now
settle with settlePage: the page took in and handled everything the dev
server sent (Vite's client handles messages in order, an update once its
modules are fetched and accepted), waiting through a reload, then judge
reloaded vs applied in place; a row also requires the edit to have shown.
hmr-sync.ts moves to compiler-test-utils (./hmr-sync, shared by
start-plugin-core and router-plugin) with hmrSyncInitScript for pages
whose own code does not import it, and gets controls
(tests/integration/hmr-sync.test.ts, discriminating: slow modules make a
helper that does not wait fail). The Rsbuild and webpack rows of the file
already settle on the shown text with failWhenQuietFor, in both outcomes.

"Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. Judge causes with `explains` (content), not `causes` (a deprecated word list).
   - Each channel gets its own work's output, also what a bundler's native callbacks print (Rolldown hooks, Rspack hooks): by the app root it names, or as the only work open; otherwise every open channel gets it, marked `shared`. A compilation's report is recorded once, from the compilation, not again from Rsbuild's logger. The Rsbuild hosts stay quiet in the terminal and the page (`logLevel` and `dev.client.logLevel` `silent`); never raise them to see Rsbuild's output.
-- Edits settle on their outcome within one bound (`./outcome` `waitForOutcome`, the dev harnesses' `edit`/`settle`), never on counts of events, compiles or updates. A wait that starts once the hosts handled the edit may also end, as a failure, once every host stayed quiet without the outcome for a while (`failWhenQuietFor`): the edit reached its final state.
+- Edits settle on their outcome within one bound (`./outcome` `waitForOutcome`, the dev harnesses' `edit`/`settle`), never on counts of events, compiles or updates. Whether a Vite dev page reloaded or applied an update in place is judged once the page handled everything the server sent (`./hmr-sync` `settlePage`), never by a time bound. A wait that starts once the hosts handled the edit may also end, as a failure, once every host stayed quiet without the outcome for a while (`failWhenQuietFor`): the edit reached its final state.

Subject: [PATCH 0755/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): settlePage also waits
 for what the page's invalidate() asked of the server

An accept callback that calls import.meta.hot.invalidate() (React Refresh on a
route module it cannot refresh) sends vite:invalidate back to the server, which
answers with an update or a full reload. The sync token could reach the page
before that answer, so settlePage resolved before the reload: shown with a
400 ms client->server delay on the addHmr: false React row (reload after
settle) and by a new control that fails on the previous helper.

The page now answers each sync token over the same WebSocket
(import.meta.hot.send); Vite handles a page's messages in order and an
invalidation synchronously, so a page counts as settled once its answer came
back with nothing else sent to the client since the token went out;
otherwise another token follows.

Subject: [PATCH 0756/1425] test(router-plugin): the stale page's render is not
 judged, also when it fails

editOutOfOrder's stale page only makes the dev server compile the split
modules first; a stale module it asks for may fail as a stale request does
(e.g. a compiler that versions its split URLs). The fresh page judges.

Subject: [PATCH 0758/1425] test(start-plugin-core): no acceptance harness
 imports Start's core plugin factory

The harnesses imported outside-compiler-corpus/core-start-plugin.ts, so every
acceptance file using them statically reached tanStackStartVite /
tanStackStartRsbuild (68 files in the import gate's helper graph), and any
test passing `compilerTransforms` would silently get the core factory instead
of `tanstackStart()`. The implementation test now passes the plugins itself
(`corePlugins: coreStartPlugins(transforms)`); the harnesses only know the
type. No acceptance file reaches the core factory module any more.

Subject: [PATCH 0759/1425] test(start-plugin-core): hydrate pages click again
 only once the page took the click in

The page scripts clicked a deferred boundary every ~100 ms until its counter
read ":1", deciding on a 50 ms quiet period that cannot see a chunk still
loading. Under load the boundary's code takes longer than that, the repeated
clicks are replayed with the first once it hydrates, and the counter never
reads ":1" (seen: Solid "a boundary loads its children when it hydrates",
child:41). The prefetch rows read the prefetch before it finished loading
(prefetched: false).

`clickUntil` (in the page scope) does not click again after a click the
boundary took in (the page cancels it to redispatch it) until the page
changed and settled; the prefetch rows wait for the prefetch's request.

Subject: [PATCH 0760/1425] test(start-plugin-core): run the last middleware
 rows through Start's middleware chain

The fast-tier rows "leaves unrelated SSR middleware chains as written" and
"isomorphic, server-only and middleware implementations in one module" called a
middleware's .server() with a hand-written next. Each now calls a server fn
that uses the middleware (a user of the factory in another module, a
createServerFn().middleware([mw]) next to the case), from the client over HTTP
and from server code inside a real request, and reads what the middleware put
into the handler's context.

The env-separation pin "a function middleware validator on a builder variable"
called the validator directly. A server fn with that middleware now returns
the data the validator gave, called by id through Start's server entry.

Subject: [PATCH 0764/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin the #7213 middleware
 caller deterministically

The Vite row "a server fn that only a middleware .server() of another module
calls" passed only because the SSR build usually compiles the middleware's
module a few milliseconds before it loads the server fn resolver; under heavy
load it lost that race ("Server function info not found"). No app input
orders the two, so that Vite cell is no longer run (Rsbuild keeps it).

New rows build the same callers with the caller only client code imports.
The SSR build then reaches its handler and middleware only through the
resolver's generated imports, so on Vite the server fn is always missing
from the resolver: deterministic pins of #7213 for both callers (passing
rows on Rsbuild). KNOWN-BUGS and the oracle README follow.

 - **SSR: a server fn module is initialised once and shares its state with SSR code.** With SSR as the server fn provider, the SSR caller module and the provider module (`?tss-serverfn-split`) are two module instances of the same file in the SSR bundle, and the provider repeats the file's top-level code (exports-and-directives.test.ts "side-effect imports and top-level statements stay in every output" asserts this).
 - **SSR: a server fn only server code references is not callable over HTTP.** With SSR as the provider, the production resolver lists every server fn the builds found and never checks the caller's origin (`includeClientReferencedCheck` is off, and the flag it would check is true for every SSR-caller compile, handleCreateServerFn.ts `isClientReferenced`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateServerFn.ts`.
 - **is callable, the app files written %s.** Vite: the production server fn resolver is generated before the SSR build has found a server fn that only another server fn's handler calls, so calling it throws "Server function info not found" (#7213).
+- **its caller only client code imports: the caller is callable over HTTP, the app files written %s.** Same root cause as above: Vite's SSR build reaches a server fn only client code imports, and everything it uses (its middleware's module included), only through the resolver, so a server fn that only its handler or a middleware `.server()` calls is missing from the resolver (#7213).
 - **a server fn created by a library function: the handler is not in the client bundle, or the build fails clearly.** A library function that creates server fns for its users (`createLoggedServerFn(handler)`) is never seen as a server fn in the user's module, so the handler ships to the client, silently.
 - **a build run from another directory: a library's server fn runs in the SSR build.** Start's Vite plugin looks for the Start libraries it bundles in SSR (`crawlFrameworkPkgs`: dependencies with a peer dependency on Start) in the package.json of the working directory (`root: process.cwd()`), not of Vite's root, which the plugin uses for its own root a few lines above. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/plugin.ts`.
 - **a module with a middleware and an isomorphic fn builds, and its middleware runs on the server.** In the SSR build, compiling a module with an isomorphic fn makes the Start compiler resolve the module's `createMiddleware` import (the server lookup does not know that factory). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts`.

the server-only fn its control calls from SSR code reaches the resolver by
about 12 ms, and no app input orders the two.

Split the D6 control: the client-referenced HTTP call on both bundlers, the
call from SSR code on Rsbuild only. The D6 pin keeps asserting both and stays
red on Vite either way (for #7213 when the race is lost). React-start-rsc's
builds register their server fns in an earlier build step, and dev servers
have no generated resolver.

 - **its caller only client code imports: the caller is callable over HTTP, the app files written %s.** Same root cause as above: Vite's SSR build reaches a server fn only client code imports, and everything it uses (its middleware's module included), only through the resolver, so a server fn that only its handler or a middleware `.server()` calls is missing from the resolver (#7213).
 - **a server fn created by a library function: the handler is not in the client bundle, or the build fails clearly.** A library function that creates server fns for its users (`createLoggedServerFn(handler)`) is never seen as a server fn in the user's module, so the handler ships to the client, silently.

Subject: [PATCH 0766/1425] test(start-plugin-core): assert on Vite that a
 server-only fn is callable from SSR code

F-I stopped running the SSR-code half of the D6 control on Vite, because
whether the server fn is in the resolver there depends on the #7213 race.
After that change, no acceptance row caught a Vite compiler whose resolver
drops every server fn the client build did not find. A server fn that the
app's server entry defines is found when the SSR build compiles that
entry, before the build reaches any module the entry imports (the resolver
among them). So this control's order is fixed on both bundlers.

Subject: [PATCH 0768/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): create the test apps
 outside the packages

The harnesses created their temporary apps as hidden directories of the
packages' tests/ so that Node resolution found the dependencies. What tools
wrote into an app after its removal (Vite's optimizer after close(), #34)
stayed in the package (about 1,900 directories per tree after 50 runs) and
broke start-plugin-core's test:eslint.

Every app now lives in a temporary directory that stands in for the
directory it was created in (`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/app-directory`):
the node_modules directories above that directory are linked at the same
depth, so imports resolve to the same real paths; its tsconfig.json (class
fields, JSX, decorators) and the type/sideEffects of its package.json
apply as before; Vite dev servers allow what Vite allowed for an app in the
package and keep their dependency cache in the app. A global setup
(`run-directory`) gives each run a directory, removed when the run ends,
for the apps and for the route generator's temporary files (TSR_TMP_DIR,
on the apps' filesystem: K-19), which went to the packages' .tanstack/.

router-generator runs its fixtures on copies instead of the checked-in
directories (a correct generator may rewrite their route files); the tree
of the nested fixture is still written next to it for the types project
(Q2). Its Vite servers keep their dependency cache in the app, and jiti's
file cache is off under Vitest: both went to the package's node_modules.

Subject: [PATCH 0769/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): delete the import gate

The user ruled to delete the static import gate entirely, with no
replacement: its script, its control, the test:import-gate* targets of
the five compiler packages, the nx target default, the root test:pr/test:ci
target and the compiler platform workflow step, and its documentation.

@@ -51,24 +51,7 @@ The compiler test corpus is an oracle: a compiler that passes every corpus test
 - A package that gets its first implementation test adds the two projects and the two scripts the same way. react-start-rsc selects its runtime tests in `test:noncompiler`. This package's own tests are harness controls, not compiler tests; none of them is an implementation test of a compiler.
 - **Noncompiler coverage:** start-plugin-core build plumbing and react-start-rsc runtime tests live under `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/noncompiler/` and run in `test:noncompiler`, excluded from the implementation projects too. Root `test:pr`/`test:ci` and compiler-platform CI run the lane. RSC compiler acceptance currently lives entirely in integration.
 - Budgets (`test-budgets.json`) cover the corpus tiers; the implementation and noncompiler projects have none.
-- What does not belong outside the corpus: a goal pin (`.fails`) of a real bug, a test of supported behaviour that is merely slow, or a test that decides a user-visible outcome through an internal entry point (e.g. the emitted `handleRouteUpdate` driven by a live router: label it in its header, keep it in the corpus, and reroute it through a public entry point: the import gate below flags it until then). Before moving a test out, make sure no wrong compiler is caught only by it (e.g. a known mutant of the compiler).
-
-## Import gate
-
-Acceptance tests reach the compilers only through public entry points. `src/import-gate.ts` checks the imports mechanically: it lists every import of a compiler-package internal (router-generator, router-plugin, start-plugin-core, react-start-rsc, router-utils) in the corpus test files of the five packages above and in every helper they reach (relative imports into a package's `tests/`, and this package's `src/`).
-
-- **Internal** means not reachable through the package's `package.json` `exports`. Allowed: the package specifier with an exported subpath (`@tanstack/router-plugin/vite`), and a relative path to the source file an export is built from (`../src/vite` in router-plugin) or to an exported file. A type-only import of a public type (one a public entry exports) through an internal path is allowed and listed separately; prefer the public specifier.
-- Everything else counts, including a value import of a public symbol through an internal module (`getConfig` from `src/core/config`), internal types, `vi.mock`/`vi.importActual`, dynamic `import()`, `require` and `typeof import()` of internal paths, and subpaths missing from `exports`.
-- It is static: paths computed at run time (`import(path.join(...))`) and ids or queries in strings are out of its reach.

-- `test:import-gate` (report mode) prints the violations grouped by file (for a helper, how many corpus files reach it) and exits 0. `--json` (run `node ./src/import-gate.ts --json` in this package) prints the same data as JSON.
-- `test:import-gate:strict` (or `COMPILER_IMPORT_GATE=strict`) exits 1 on any violation, on a stale allowlist entry, or on a file it could not parse. It is a required check: root `test:pr`/`test:ci` run it (every compiler package and this one has the target, so `nx affected` runs it for a change in any of them; Nx target default in `nx.json`), and so does the compiler platform workflow.
-- **Allowlist** (`pendingRulingAllowlist` in `src/import-gate.ts`): the only internal imports strict mode accepts, held by pending user rulings: the Q5 control (router-plugin `tests/handle-route-update.test.ts`), the `tests/pending-rulings/` files of start-plugin-core (Q6, Q7), and the legacy helpers only they reach (`tests/outside-compiler-corpus/legacy/`, allowed only while no other acceptance test reaches them). Each entry names its ruling and the requests it holds; remove it when the ruling lands. Never add an entry for anything else.
-- `tests/import-gate.test.ts` is its control, on a fixture workspace of its own (packages with their own `exports` maps and sources, in a temporary directory): files planted in memory next to the fixture's tests must be flagged exactly where they import internals, and strict mode must fail on an internal import its allowlist does not hold, on an allowlisted helper another test reaches, and on a stale entry. It does not depend on where the real packages keep their sources (FINAL-PASS #51).
+- What does not belong outside the corpus: a goal pin (`.fails`) of a real bug, a test of supported behaviour that is merely slow, or a test that decides a user-visible outcome through an internal entry point (e.g. the emitted `handleRouteUpdate` driven by a live router: label it in its header, keep it in the corpus, and reroute it through a public entry point). Before moving a test out, make sure no wrong compiler is caught only by it (e.g. a known mutant of the compiler).

- *   exported file itself;
- * - a type-only import of a public type through any path: the type is

- * Everything else is a violation: a value import, re-export, dynamic
- * `import()`, `require`, `vi.mock`/`vi.importActual` or `typeof import()` of
- * an internal module, also when the symbol it reads is public (a moved
- * module breaks it all the same).
- *
- * The acceptance files are the files `test:unit` and `test:integration`
- * select (router-generator: also its `types` project's `*.test-d.ts`), outside

- * `src/` (also through `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/*`), transitively.
- * Paths computed at run time (a `path.join` passed to `import()`) are out of
- * reach of a static gate.

Subject: [PATCH 0770/1425] test(router-plugin): production bundle equals the
 route-HMR-off control build

Replace the statement-diff evidence (added-code), the dev-global trap and
the dev-API regex of production-bundle.ts with one outcome: the production
client bundle renders the route in a real browser and its chunks equal the
control build's (addHmr: false, NODE_ENV=production), chunk for chunk.
Delete compiler-test-utils' added-code.ts and its controls. global-trap.ts
stays: start-plugin-core's start-host (an acceptance user, with no control
build) still uses it.

-/**
- * What a build ships that a paired control build of the same app does not
- * (SPEC G7, J3.7): the oracle of dev-only support in production artifacts.
- * The control differs in one setting only (e.g. route HMR off), so code the
- * build has and the control lacks is attributed to that setting, whatever
- * it is named and wherever the bundler puts it.
- *
- * `addedCode(build, control)` compares the statements of every chunk of the
- * two builds, as multisets of their shapes:
- * - each statement at any depth, shallow (the statements nested in it are
- *   compared on their own), so one statement added inside a function shows
- *   as that statement only;
- * - alpha-equivalent: names the chunk binds (private helpers, minified
- *   names) are renamed in their order of appearance within the statement;
- *   free names (globals such as `console`) and property names stay;
- * - printer-independent: the syntax tree is compared, not the text (quotes,
- *   parentheses, layout);
- * - placement-independent: the chunks of a build form one multiset, and
- *   string literals naming emitted chunk files (content hashes) are one
- *   placeholder.
- * A harmless private renaming or printing difference therefore adds
- * nothing, while a development-only call made of names the bundle already
- * has (e.g. one more `console.warn(...)`) is an added statement.

Subject: [PATCH 0771/1425] chore(compiler-test-utils): add yuku for its
 semantic model

Yuku 0.22 is the first release with the semantic API (scopes, bindings,
references); it was published 2026-10-22, inside the workspace's 24-hour
minimumReleaseAge window, so it is excluded from that window by name
(user-approved) until it ages past it.

Subject: [PATCH 0772/1425] test: free names from Yuku's semantic model replace
 the hand scope analysers

A module's free names are now Yuku's unresolved references (free-names.ts):
no type positions, no `typeof x` operand, and `arguments` read where
Yuku's binder stops at a non-arrow function is that function's implicit
`arguments`. Client globals are the `globals` package's browser and
worker sets.

- compiler-test-utils: delete validate-module.ts (analyzeScopes, typeof
  guards, declaredNames, the Rolldown module-alone mode for G8 decisions,
  source-map attribution of shipped free names) and source-attribution.ts,
  with their controls (validate-module unit and build tests, the 32
  dangling-name rows of build-harness.test.ts). The build harness's
  dangling-name check keeps its attribution policy and reads free names
  from free-names.ts.
- router-plugin: expectValidModules = parse errors plus free names minus
  browser/worker globals, the refresh globals and what the route file reads
  free; when a module has one, the app's production build decides through
  the build harness's dangling-name check (G8). The two page tests that
  called getModuleErrors use expectValidModules. Legacy implementation
  helpers drop their own expectValidModules and its control row.
- start-plugin-core: the legacy helpers (implementation lane and pending
  rulings Q6/Q7) keep getModuleErrors/keptDynamicImports in
  outside-compiler-corpus/legacy/validate-module.ts, on free-names.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 0773/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): where the test apps live

The ctu AGENTS.md says how tests get app directories (app-directory,
run-directory) and that they never write into the repository; the oracle
README's #34 caveat no longer describes the leftovers in the packages; the
.gitignore entry now covers only what older checkouts may hold.

   - The packages' own hosts build on these and are shared within a test process: router-plugin `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`: hosts leased to one test at a time, one per configuration, free hosts beyond `freeHostLimit` closed) and start-plugin-core `tests/start-host.ts` (`useStartHost`/`useStartHosts`: one host per file and options, taken before the file's tests and given back after them).
 - Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins, reached only by implementation-lane and pending-rulings helpers); do not add callers. A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.
 - What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). `runInPage` returns only once the run's page left the run's document: what the dev server sends after the run (a full reload after the test's edit) reaches no page a later run gets.
+- Tests never write into the repository. An app is a temporary directory that stands in for the directory the harness names (`dir`, a package's `tests/`): `./app-directory` links the `node_modules` directories above `dir` at the same depth (imports resolve to the same real paths, one copy of each package), and the app gets `dir`'s `tsconfig.json` and its package.json's `type` and `sideEffects`. The harnesses create their apps there (`createApp`); a test that writes an app of its own takes its directory from `createAppDirectory(dir, prefix)`, and runs a Vite server of it with `cacheDir` in the app and `server.fs.allow: await servedDirectories(root)`. A test of checked-in files (router-generator's fixtures) runs on a copy (`copyFixture`); the one file a run writes into a package is the route tree of router-generator's `nested` fixture, which its `types` project checks in place (held by Q2). A project with such apps lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/run-directory` in `globalSetup`: the run's directory (the apps, the route generator's temporary files through `TSR_TMP_DIR`), removed when the run ends.
 - Per-test resources in a helper (a leased host, a page, an app) belong to the test of `./test-scope` (`currentTest()`, `onTestFinished`), not Vitest's global `onTestFinished`: in a concurrent file the global one names the test that started last. A project that uses them lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/test-scope-setup` in `setupFiles` (it also gives each test file the process environment and working directory it started with).
 - Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`). "Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. Judge causes with `explains` (content), not `causes` (a deprecated word list).
   - Each channel gets its own work's output, also what a bundler's native callbacks print (Rolldown hooks, Rspack hooks): by the app root it names, or as the only work open; otherwise every open channel gets it, marked `shared`. A compilation's report is recorded once, from the compilation, not again from Rsbuild's logger. The Rsbuild hosts stay quiet in the terminal and the page (`logLevel` and `dev.client.logLevel` `silent`); never raise them to see Rsbuild's output.

Subject: [PATCH 0774/1425] test(router-plugin): read the route file's free
 names with its TypeScript erased

A `declare` binding has no runtime value: the route file reads it free.
Erasing TypeScript with Vite's Oxc transform says so without relying on
Yuku's binding flags (an ambient var merged with an interface of the same
name loses the Ambient flag in Yuku 0.22.1).

Subject: [PATCH 0775/1425] test(compiler-tests): delete non-oracle
 test-helper, internals and non-compiler lane files

Deletes the user-approved out-of-scope files of `outside-compiler-corpus/`
(NON-ORACLE-LANES 2026-10-22): the tests of test helpers (H, 22; the
start-plugin-core `legacy-regression-helpers.test.ts` goes with Q6/Q7),
the new tests of today's compiler internals (I, 22; `mock-modules.ts`
stays while the relocated main tests `analysis.exports` and
`virtualModules` use it), the new non-compiler
tests (N, 6) and the router-plugin legacy harness (L, 3).

Also removes the helpers only they used: the `corePlugins` option of the
Start build, Vite dev and Rsbuild dev harnesses (and `CoreStartPlugins`),
`warnMeTransform`, the generator file-watcher inventories
(`expectGeneratorWatchersClosed`, `expectWatchSessionWatchersClosed`), and
the export of `stringValues`. Comments that pointed at the deleted files
now stand alone. The real bugs pinned only in the deleted files are
recorded outside the repo (FOLLOWUPS).

No hook recorders, module ids, queries or hand-registered routes.
   - A Vite host with `client: true` listens (on `127.0.0.1`, as every harness server: FINAL-PASS #56), serves a page the plugins transform (`transformIndexHtml`), pre-bundles dependencies, and keeps an idle HMR client connected for its lifetime, so a full reload sent between runs reaches no later run's page.

   - The packages' own hosts build on these and are shared within a test process: router-plugin `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`: hosts leased to one test at a time, one per configuration, free hosts beyond `freeHostLimit` closed) and start-plugin-core `tests/start-host.ts` (`useStartHost`/`useStartHosts`: one host per file and options, taken before the file's tests and given back after them).
 - Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins, reached only by implementation-lane and pending-rulings helpers); do not add callers. A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.
 - What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). `runInPage` returns only once the run's page left the run's document: what the dev server sends after the run (a full reload after the test's edit) reaches no page a later run gets.

A file must leave nothing behind but what the harness owns (it gets its environment back from the setup file).

+- **Harness controls** of a compiler package (tests of its own test helpers that drive the real compiler) are outside the corpus too: they check the oracle, not the compiler, and a correct rewrite may differ in the incidental details they lean on. Controls on fixed inputs may stay where they are.
 - A package that gets its first implementation test adds the two projects and the two scripts the same way. react-start-rsc selects its runtime tests in `test:noncompiler`. This package's own tests are harness controls, not compiler tests; none of them is an implementation test of a compiler.
 - **Noncompiler coverage:** start-plugin-core build plumbing and react-start-rsc runtime tests live under `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/noncompiler/` and run in `test:noncompiler`, excluded from the implementation projects too. Root `test:pr`/`test:ci` and compiler-platform CI run the lane. RSC compiler acceptance currently lives entirely in integration.
 - Budgets (`test-budgets.json`) cover the corpus tiers; the implementation and noncompiler projects have none.

 - `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules. Keep runtime dependencies inside the function or explicitly emit them; extracting a helper to plugin module scope breaks the generated function. `tests/handle-route-update.test.ts` executes that emitted code: it calls the emitted function with the route of an edited file and a live router.
 - Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
 - Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier, the inner loop) runs `tests/**` in process; a Vite dev server in middleware mode is allowed. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: every test that starts a real build (`build`, `buildAndRun`), an Rsbuild dev server or watch compiler, a child Node process or a browser page (`openRouteHmrPage`). Put such tests under `tests/integration/`; a file with tests of both kinds is split by test into files of the same name in both directories. Run both tiers before handing back.
-- Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: compile the route and load the emitted modules with `loadRoute` from `tests/regression-helpers.ts` (built on the module linker from `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils`), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.

Do not add output snapshots.
 - Run behavioural tests for React, Solid and Vue through the `targetFramework` option of the test helpers.
 - Test what the page shows after a route file edit with `openRouteHmrPage` (`tests/route-hmr-page.ts`): a real dev server with the framework's plugin, a real browser page and the real HMR client. Never copy bundler, HMR-client or React Refresh logic into tests. There is no in-process HMR model: test route HMR with `openRouteHmrPage`. A unit test of `handleRouteUpdate` may call it with explicit inputs and a real router, but must not recreate hot contexts, disposal, module selection or framework refresh.

- * Loads a compiled route file the way an app does, with the real router
- * package and the real framework: the route module (and what it imports
- * statically) evaluates first, each split option's module only when the
- * router loads it. Laziness is observed through the router's public lazy
- * contract (a route component's `preload()`, a loader call) and the modules
- * actually requested, never by recognising the helper that builds a lazy
- * value (SPEC J2.6, §5.8): `lazyRouteComponent`, `lazyFn`, an equivalent
- * wrapper or an intermediate module all pass. Re-exported by
- * `regression-helpers.ts`.
- *
- * API (`loadRoute(code, options)` / `createRouteLoader(options)(code)`):
- * - `modules`, `ids`, `graph`: the compiled modules (`compileRouteModules`).
- * - `exports`, `Route`, `options`: the route module's exports, the real
- *   route it creates, the route's options.
- * - `evaluated`: compiled modules evaluated so far (load observer);
- *   `eager`: the route module and every module its load requested (compiled
- *   modules, stubs, packages), `eagerModules` the code of the compiled ones;
- *   `requested`: everything requested so far.
- * - `isLazy(option)`: loading the option (its public trigger, awaited to
- *   completion) evaluates a compiled module that has not loaded with the
- *   route module.
- * - `load(option)`: the option as the router uses it, once its module loaded
- *   (components: after `preload()`; a loader loads its module when called).
- * - `render(option, props)`: the option's component rendered by the real
- *   framework's server renderer, after `load`.
- * - `renderRoute({ at })`: the app (a root route rendering this route)
- *   rendered by the real router on the server: `createRouter`, memory
- *   history at `at` (default the route id), `router.load()`, then
- *   `RouterProvider` rendered. Loaders, error and not-found states, and route
- *   hooks such as `Route.useLoaderData()` run as in an app.
- * - `loadedBy(option)`: the code of each compiled module loading the option
- *   evaluates (one or more: facades and support modules are allowed).
- * - `groups()`: which lazy options load together. Once a lazy option
- *   loaded, loading every other option of its group evaluates nothing new;
- *   each pair is observed in a fork of its own.
- * - `importBindings(names)`: the live bindings another module of the app
- *   imports from the route file (`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/importers`),
- *   to compare with what the route uses and to call (SPEC G9).
- * - `importFromRoute(source)`: another module of the app importing the route
- *   module (`'#route'`), for identity checks through a real importer.
- * - `registered`: what React Refresh registered (`refresh`).
- *
- * The observers that load something (`isLazy`, `loadedBy`, `groups`) run in
- * forks of the graph (`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/lazy-probe`: fresh
- * module instances, same stubs), so the route a test inspects loads nothing
- * it did not ask for. The route module's top-level code, and the modules an
- * option loads, run again in each fork with the same stubs: assert what
- * stubs record before using these. A component loads through its
- * `preload()`, a loader by a call without arguments (awaited; what it throws
- * is ignored): a loader that is not lazy runs there.

-/**
- * Hosts the router plugin in a real bundler plugin host: its public Vite
- * adapters (`tanStackRouterCodeSplitter` with a router plugin context from
- * `@tanstack/router-plugin/context`, or the composed `tanstackRouter`) run
- * in a real Vite dev server (middleware mode, no HTTP server, no watcher),
- * which resolves its config, orders the plugins, applies their hook filters
- * and awaits their hooks. A route file is written to a temporary project;
- * the host loads it, and every module its output imports resolves through
- * the host's resolver and loads the way the host loads it, whatever its id
- * (a query on the route file, a virtual id, another module). A production
- * compile (`command: 'build'`) is a real Vite production build of the route
- * file instead. Re-exported by `regression-helpers.ts`.
- *
- * What the tests observe is each module as it leaves the router plugin: a
- * plugin right after the router plugin records it (the router transform
- * boundary). The rest of the host's pipeline (Vite's TypeScript/JSX
- * transform, import analysis) is the bundler's business; `loadRoute`
- * evaluates the recorded modules with the real framework's transform.
- *
- * The modules of a route (`RouteGraph`) are the route module and every
- * module its output reaches that the plugins emit, told by what the host's
- * hooks did, never by the shape of an id (SPEC §5.3): a module a plugin of
- * the host loads (a virtual module), or one the router plugin's transform
- * changes (e.g. the route file under a query). A real file the plugins
- * leave as it is (another module of the app) and a package are the app's,
- * not the route's.
- *
- * A module id the host cannot produce on this machine (another project
- * root, a Windows path; `moduleId`) is transformed under that id by the
- * same host. The host cannot resolve files under it, so an import of that
- * id with a query names a module of the route (the one place the host
- * relies on an id's shape); a virtual module still resolves through the
- * host.
- *
- * Warnings and errors the host logs (a plugin's `this.warn`, Vite's own)
- * reach `console.warn` and `console.error`, where the shared diagnostic
- * capture (`captureConsole`) reads them with what the plugins log
- * themselves; the host's informational output stays quiet.

Subject: [PATCH 0776/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): a name a module probes
 with typeof is not free

Start's production client builds read process, Buffer, setImmediate, global
and __REACT_DEVTOOLS_GLOBAL_HOOK__ behind typeof checks; no globals set
holds them for a browser. One rule replaces the old guard analysis: a
module that probes a name with typeof reads it knowing it may not exist.
It also covers @vitejs/plugin-react's WorkerGlobalScope check, so the
client globals go back to the browser set alone.

Subject: [PATCH 0777/1425] test(start-plugin-core): replace the Q6 hand-built
 package graph rows with real-app tests

Ruling Q6 (2026-10-22): the rows that hand-write a fake
@tanstack/start-client-core and drive the internal StartCompiler are
deleted. What they meant is decided through the public Start host:
- Start's own built createCsrfMiddleware (an isomorphic fn whose server
  implementation builds a middleware) is a no-op in the client and a
  request middleware on the server (added);
- createMiddleware read as a member of a namespace import of a project
  module that re-exports it (added next to the createServerFn and
  createIsomorphicFn rows of the same form).

Subject: [PATCH 0778/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin the CommonJS
 dependency bug through real apps (Q7)

A CommonJS package in node_modules whose code has the text .handler(
reaches the Start compiler in Vite's client build (and SSR with
noExternal), both Rsbuild builds and Rsbuild's dev server; the compiler
parses it as an ES module and fails on a top-level return that the same
package without that text builds and runs with. The in-process pin is
replaced by real-app pins (both builds, Rsbuild dev): red today for that
parse error, green under a correct fix (checked with a reverted
temporary fix). The octal escape and with forms break these apps
without Start too and carry no pin.

Subject: [PATCH 0779/1425] test: delete the legacy harness controls and trim
 the legacy helpers

With the pending-rulings files gone, delete the tests of test helpers
that only exercised the legacy in-process harness (start-plugin-core
legacy-regression-helpers, render-host, known-bugs-start-compiler
controls, known-bugs-hydrate controls, createServerFn controls, the
outside start-compiler-runtime-contract; router-plugin's fast-tier
regression-helpers controls), delete the legacy render and diagnostics
modules, trim the legacy helpers to what the remaining implementation
tests use, drop the Q6/Q7 entries of the import gate's allowlist, and
record the rulings in the oracle docs.

   - A Vite host with `client: true` listens (on `127.0.0.1`, as every harness server: FINAL-PASS #56), serves a page the plugins transform (`transformIndexHtml`), pre-bundles dependencies, and keeps an idle HMR client connected for its lifetime, so a full reload sent between runs reaches no later run's page.
   - Configure an app as its config file does: Start's plugin is `tanstackStart()` of the built framework package (start-plugin-core `tests/start-plugins.ts`; the core factories `tanStackStartVite`/`tanStackStartRsbuild` only in `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/core-start-plugin.ts`, for the implementation tests of `compilerTransforms`), next to the framework's own plugin (`@vitejs/plugin-react`, `@rsbuild/plugin-react`, `vite-plugin-solid`, `@vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx`), never a hand SWC or JSX configuration; entries through Start's `client.entry`/`server.entry`.
   - The packages' own hosts build on these and are shared within a test process: router-plugin `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`: hosts leased to one test at a time, one per configuration, free hosts beyond `freeHostLimit` closed) and start-plugin-core `tests/start-host.ts` (`useStartHost`/`useStartHosts`: one host per file and options, taken before the file's tests and given back after them).
-- Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins, reached only by implementation-lane and pending-rulings helpers); do not add callers. A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.

 - What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). `runInPage` returns only once the run's page left the run's document: what the dev server sends after the run (a full reload after the test's edit) reaches no page a later run gets.
 - Per-test resources in a helper (a leased host, a page, an app) belong to the test of `./test-scope` (`currentTest()`, `onTestFinished`), not Vitest's global `onTestFinished`: in a concurrent file the global one names the test that started last. A project that uses them lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/test-scope-setup` in `setupFiles` (it also gives each test file the process environment and working directory it started with).
 - Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`).

 - `tests/import-gate.test.ts` is its control, on a fixture workspace of its own (packages with their own `exports` maps and sources, in a temporary directory): files planted in memory next to the fixture's tests must be flagged exactly where they import internals, and strict mode must fail on an internal import its allowlist does not hold, on an allowlisted helper another test reaches, and on a stale entry. It does not depend on where the real packages keep their sources (FINAL-PASS #51).

 - **a server fn created by a library function: the handler is not in the client bundle, or the build fails clearly.** A library function that creates server fns for its users (`createLoggedServerFn(handler)`) is never seen as a server fn in the user's module, so the handler ships to the client, silently.
 - **a build run from another directory: a library's server fn runs in the SSR build.** Start's Vite plugin looks for the Start libraries it bundles in SSR (`crawlFrameworkPkgs`: dependencies with a peer dependency on Start) in the package.json of the working directory (`root: process.cwd()`), not of Vite's root, which the plugin uses for its own root a few lines above. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/plugin.ts`.
 - **a module with a middleware and an isomorphic fn builds, and its middleware runs on the server.** In the SSR build, compiling a module with an isomorphic fn makes the Start compiler resolve the module's `createMiddleware` import (the server lookup does not know that factory).

+expose it. Clauses: J4.5, J4.16, G15, §1.2.
+
+### Q7: CommonJS dependencies (2026-10-22)
+
+Reachable, so pinned through real apps. A CommonJS package installed in `node_modules` (no `"type"`, so its `.js`
+files are scripts) whose code has the text `.handler(` reaches the Start compiler: Vite's client build, Vite's SSR
+build with `noExternal`, both Rsbuild builds and Rsbuild's dev server hand it over (Vite's dev client gets the
+pre-bundled module, and Vite's SSR externalizes it by default). The compiler parses it as an ES module, so a
+top-level `return`, which the same package without that text builds and runs with on both bundlers, fails the
+build: pinned in `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts` (both builds, Rsbuild
+dev). The other sloppy-mode forms of the former in-process pin (a legacy octal escape, a `with` statement) break
+these apps without Start too (Rolldown's parser in Vite's builds and dependency pre-bundling, Rspack's minifier in
+Rsbuild's builds, the strict code Rsbuild's dev server runs them in), so they carry no compiler requirement and
+have no pin. Clauses: J4.16, G1, §8.

Subject: [PATCH 0780/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): check diagnostics by
 file and position, read import protection through onViolation

User rulings of 2026-10-22: a diagnostic is checked only for being reported,
at its severity where a test needs it, naming the file and the position; and
import-protection violations are read from Start's public onViolation
callback, never parsed from the printed report.

- compiler-test-utils diagnostics.ts keeps the collection (diagnosticsOf,
  captureThrow, captureConsole), expectDiagnostic/findDiagnostics with
  severity, file (absolute or project-relative as a whole path) and position
  (line:column, or the line) only. Deleted: explains and its word lists,
  causes, names, prose, distinctFrom, code-frame and prose parsing,
  importLines, importedBindingUses/scopeBindings, the reported-location
  oracle, expectFrameAt and the environment-restriction grammar. Its
  controls are deleted with them; the real-channel controls stay.
- start-plugin-core: the violation-report reader, its 124 controls and
  channels.ts are deleted; the harnesses record what onViolation receives
  (dev servers, builds, StartBuildError) and tests compare it with literal
  places (use, import line). Printed reports are checked for file and
  position only (expectPrinted). original-location.ts takes literal places;
  its 13 controls are deleted.
- J4.10 runtime errors are checked by the call throwing (throwsError).
- Callers in router-generator, router-plugin, react-start-rsc and
  start-plugin-core drop names/explains/prose/distinctFrom/source.
- Pins whose only subject was message content are deleted (the warning
  names the binding, not the option; the rejection of this/super names no
  fix); the F1 column pins in createServerFn.test.ts check the line (F1
  stays pinned in known-bugs-start-compiler-code-frame.test.ts); the
  export * pin asks for the mock (today's warning already names the file
  and line).

- * names the user acts on, and, for `createServerOnlyFn`/`createClientOnlyFn`,
- * the environment restriction. Never the prose, the code-frame layout or
- * context length, nor whether a file is spelled absolute or project-relative
- * (SPEC §5.7).
+ * Tests capture what the user sees (a thrown or rejected error, a bundler's
+ * errors and warnings, console output; every channel at once:
+ * `./diagnostic-channel`) and assert only that a problem was reported, with
+ * its severity where the spec gives one, naming the file and the position.
+ * Never the wording, the code frame, the channel or the path spelling
+ * beyond "absolute or project-relative".
  *
- * API:
  * - `diagnosticsOf(value, severity?)`: the diagnostics a captured value
  *   carries: an error (one diagnostic, including the errors it aggregates,
- *   e.g. a `BuildError`, plus one per warning it carries), a build result
- *   or stats object without a message (one per error and per warning), a
- *   Rollup, esbuild or webpack message object, a string, or an array.
+ *   plus one per warning it carries), a build result or stats object without
+ *   a message (one per error and per warning), a message object, a string,
+ *   or an array.
  * - `captureThrow(run)`: the diagnostics of what `run` throws or rejects
  *   with; fails when it completes.
- * - `captureConsole(run)`: what `run` logs through `console`, by severity
- *   (`error`; `warn` is `warning`; `log`/`info`/`debug` are `info`), silenced.
- *   The console alone: a check that something (or nothing) is reported
- *   reads every channel (`captureDiagnostics` of `./diagnostic-channel`).
- * - `explanationMismatch(diagnostic, prose)`: why a diagnostic is not an
- *   explanation in its own words (`explains`).
+ * - `captureConsole(run)`: what `run` logs through `console`, by severity.
  * - `findDiagnostics(diagnostics, expectation)` and
- *   `expectDiagnostic(diagnostics, expectation)`: the diagnostics meeting a
- *   `DiagnosticExpectation`; the latter fails, listing why each diagnostic
- *   does not match, unless one (or exactly `times`) does. Both take
- *   diagnostics or any value `diagnosticsOf` reads. Severity has a floor:
- *   unless an expectation asks for `info`, only a `warning` or an `error`
- *   meets it (DECISIONS 2026-10-21: an info line is no warning).
- *   `mismatches(diagnostic,
- *   expectation)` gives the reasons for one diagnostic.
- * - `mentionsFile(text, file, options?)`: whether a text names a file.
- * - `diagnosticProse(text, source?)`: what a diagnostic says in its own
- *   words: its text without the code-frame lines and caret markers that
- *   quote the source (full, cropped or highlighted), nor the lines quoting
- *   `source` whole or cropped.
- * - Reported locations (SPEC J6.5, §5.7, §5.14): `parseLocation(text)`,
- *   `importLines(file, source, specifier)`,
- *   `importedBindingUses(file, source, specifier)`, `locationMismatch`,
- *   `isRelevantLocation`, `expectRelevantLocation` (a `file:line:column` a
- *   tool reports is one of the relevant places: a genuine use, any line of
- *   the original import of the specifier, another accepted place such as a
- *   marker origin, or no coordinates only where the caller allows it) and
- *   `expectFrameAt` (a code frame highlights the reported line and points
- *   at the reported column of the original source; its context is free).
+ *   `expectDiagnostic(diagnostics, expectation)`: the diagnostics meeting
+ *   an expectation; the latter fails unless one (or exactly `times`) does.
+ *   Unless an expectation asks for `info`, only a `warning` or an `error`
+ *   meets it (DECISIONS 2026-10-21).
+ * - `mentionsFile(text, file, { root })`: the text holds the file's absolute
+ *   path, or its project-relative path as a whole path.
  * - `diagnosticPosition(source, needle)`: the 1-based line and column of
  *   the first occurrence of `needle` in `source`.
- * - `identifiesEnvRestriction(error, env)`, `envRestrictionError(env)` (an
- *   asymmetric matcher) and `expectEnvRestrictionThrow(run, env)`: J4.10,
- *   read semantically (`restrictedEnvironments`: the message restricts the
- *   call to `env`, in any words; naming the environment is not enough).
- *
- * Accepted spellings (any one suffices):
- * - File (SPEC §5.7, "absolute or project-relative if unambiguous"): an
- *   absolute path, a `file://` URL, a Vite `/@fs/` URL, the project-relative
- *   path (`src/routes/posts.tsx`, also after `./` or a source map's `../`,
- *   or as the path of a `webpack://<namespace>/` source), or a longer
- *   relative path ending with it, with `/` or `\` separators, a query or a
- *   position suffix. A part of the project-relative path alone
- *   (`routes/posts.tsx`, `posts.tsx`) does not name the file: the user
- *   cannot tell which file it is. Segments may hold bracketed groups
- *   (`(group).tsx`, `[id].tsx`). A spelling that also names a file of
- *   `distinctFrom` is ambiguous and does not count.
- * - Position, tied to the named file: the file followed by `:line`,
- *   `:line:column`, `(line,column)` or ` line:column`; a code frame line for
- *   `line` marked with `>` or followed by a `^` marker (the marker gives the
- *   exact column when `source` is known); a bracketed `(line:column)` or
- *   `[line:column]`, or `line <line>` (and `column <column>`), on the same
- *   line as a mention of the file; or a structured `loc` (printed 1-based).
- *   Each spelling counts its column from its own base (see
- *   `reportsPosition`): only where the producer is unknown and tools
- *   disagree (`file:line:column`: Vite and esbuild print 0-based columns,
- *   editors and Rspack 1-based) are both bases read.
- * - Names: each API or option name as a whole identifier, anywhere (only in
- *   `diagnosticProse` with `prose`). A name given as a list is satisfied by
- *   any one of its alternatives.
- * - Causes (`explains`): an actionable explanation in the diagnostic's own
- *   words, any wording: no engine crash and no internal-error report; the
- *   cause's category, said beyond the names, paths, positions, generic
- *   failure words and the compiler's own representation ("unexpected node
- *   type" says none); the API it names or guidance (what is required,
- *   allowed or to be done instead); and the input-specific content that
- *   tells the cause apart (`mentions`, e.g. the captured local). An internal
- *   crash that only names the API, or quotes it in a frame, does not pass.
- *   (`causes`, a closed word list, is deprecated: it rejected equivalent
- *   wording.)

-/**
- * Reads the import-protection violation reports a user sees by their
- * content (SPEC J6.5), not by their wording or layout (J6.12, §5.7; coupling
- * N15-N17, RULES-AUDIT R18): the environment type the report is about, the
- * importer's `file:line:column`, the raw specifier, the resolved file, the
- * import chain from an entry to the importer, the code frame (its `>`/`^`
- * convention, J6.12) and the suggestions.
- *
- * Nothing here depends on a label word, a section order, a numbering style,
- * quotes or an entry marker. A report is a block of a diagnostic's text that
- * starts at an unindented line naming an environment type (or announcing
- * import protection); its parts are told apart by what they hold:
- * - `label <separator> value` lines (`:`, `->`, `=`, ...): a value that is a
- *   whole quoted string is the specifier; a value that is a file (with or
- *   without `:line:column`) is the importer, or the resolved file when it is
- *   what the specifier resolves to;
- * - list items (`1.`, `#1`, `[1/3]`, `-`, `*`) that start with a file are
- *   the steps of the import chain, each naming the specifier it imports
- *   with (any quoted string after the file); the chain is read from the
- *   entry to the importer whichever way it is printed (the end that is the
- *   importer tells the direction; SPEC J6.5, ruling 2026-10-21 R10);
- * - other list items are the suggestions;
- * - `>`/`|`/`^` lines are the code frame, and a bare location after it the
- *   location it shows.
- * A block that announces import protection but whose importer or specifier
- * cannot be found throws, so that a check that nothing is reported cannot
- * pass on a report it failed to read.
- *
- * What is read: every channel (SPEC §5.7). Pass a dev server (`DevServer`,
- * `RsbuildDevServer`), a build (`StartBuild`) or a failed build
- * (`StartBuildError`): their `diagnostics` hold everything they reported, on
- * the console, the process streams, Vite's logger and the bundler, and their
- * `root` makes absolute paths relative. Log lines, texts and errors are read
- * too. `inEnvironment(output, 'client')` keeps the reports about one
- * environment type (a build's console is shared by its environments; each
- * report names its own, J6.5).
- *
- * `onViolation` gives the same violations structured (`ViolationInfo`);
- * tests that need the user-visible text (what is logged, how often, the
- * displayed chain and frame) read it through this reader.

Subject: [PATCH 0781/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): record the
 file-and-position and onViolation rulings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

SPEC G5, J2.8, J2.19, J4.10, J6.12, §5.7 and the code-frame note now ask for
file and position only; RULINGS records the 2026-10-22 user rulings
(diagnostics: file and position only; import-protection reports through
onViolation; no import gate) and supersedes "explaining a diagnostic";
KNOWN-BUGS drops the deleted pins and renames the changed ones; README and
AGENTS describe the remaining checks.

 - Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins, reached only by implementation-lane and pending-rulings helpers); do not add callers. A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.
 - What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). `runInPage` returns only once the run's page left the run's document: what the dev server sends after the run (a full reload after the test's edit) reaches no page a later run gets.
 - Per-test resources in a helper (a leased host, a page, an app) belong to the test of `./test-scope` (`currentTest()`, `onTestFinished`), not Vitest's global `onTestFinished`: in a concurrent file the global one names the test that started last. A project that uses them lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/test-scope-setup` in `setupFiles` (it also gives each test file the process environment and working directory it started with).
-- Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`). "Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. Judge causes with `explains` (content), not `causes` (a deprecated word list).
+- Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`). "Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. A diagnostic is checked by its severity, the file it names and the position it reports, never by its wording (`./diagnostics` `expectDiagnostic`; ruling 2026-10-22).
   - Each channel gets its own work's output, also what a bundler's native callbacks print (Rolldown hooks, Rspack hooks): by the app root it names, or as the only work open; otherwise every open channel gets it, marked `shared`. A compilation's report is recorded once, from the compilation, not again from Rsbuild's logger. The Rsbuild hosts stay quiet in the terminal and the page (`logLevel` and `dev.client.logLevel` `silent`); never raise them to see Rsbuild's output.
 - Edits settle on their outcome within one bound (`./outcome` `waitForOutcome`, the dev harnesses' `edit`/`settle`), never on counts of events, compiles or updates. Whether a Vite dev page reloaded or applied an update in place is judged once the page handled everything the server sent, including what its own `invalidate()` calls made the server send (`./hmr-sync` `settlePage`), never by a time bound. A wait that starts once the hosts handled the edit may also end, as a failure, once every host stayed quiet without the outcome for a while (`failWhenQuietFor`): the edit reached its final state.

 - **a split component renders through $name.** Same root cause as above, for a chunk with only fragments (the @jsxFrag factory too) and a pragma written with two spaces.
 - **a factory the route module creates and the loader reads is created once for the split component ($name).** The shared-binding analysis does not count the JSX of a split option as a read of the classic JSX factory it compiles to, so a factory that the route module creates and the loader reads is not shared with the split component: the chunk drops it (same root cause as the pin above), and keeping it in the chunk without sharing it creates it again there.
 - **an exported component ($name) that is the only split candidate is split or reported as not code-split.** The "will not be code-split" warning is only reported when the code splitter changes the route module.
-- **a dev server reports an exported component it leaves unsplit once per file, naming the file and the option.** The warning names the file and the exported binding (`Page`), not the route option (same bug as code-splitter-imports-exports.test.ts "are reported once, naming the file and the option, when not code-split").
 - **an exported function that reads Route is the one the split component calls.** The entry's `useTitle` and the one the split component calls are two functions: a binding that reads `Route` is never shared (`removeBindingsDependingOnRoute`), so the chunk declares a copy of the exported function.
 - **a split component reads the route the route module exports through export { Route }.** A split component that reads a `Route` declared with `const` and exported later (`export { Route }`) gets a chunk that creates the route again instead of importing it from the route module.
 - **a split option renders the default-exported component other modules import.** A route whose component is a default-exported function (which stays in the route module) that another split option renders cannot be compiled: the code splitter throws "Duplicate declaration \"Bar\"".
 - **a split component renders the exported component of another option that reads Route ($name).** The code splitter deletes the exported declaration of an option's component from every chunk, so a split component that renders the exported component of another option, which reads `Route`, renders an undeclared binding ("NotFound is not defined").
 - **a default-exported function the loader and the split component call works on one state.** A default-exported function declaration that the loader and a split component both call cannot be compiled: Babel throws "Duplicate declaration" for it.
 - **a split loader exported through an export list keeps working.** A split loader that the route file also exports through an export list (`export { load }`) loses its declaration in the route module: "Export 'load' is not defined".
-- **an exported errorComponent named by the option is split, or reported naming the file and the option.** When it leaves the exported component unsplit, the compiler's warning names the file and the export (`PostErrorComponent`), never the route option (J2.8: file and option).
 - **an exported errorComponent written as `%s` is the instance its importers get.** An exported component named by a split option is only recognised as an export when the option is a bare identifier. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
 - **a decorator after `export` compiles.** The code splitter rejects an ES decorator after `export` (`export @dec class`, valid since TypeScript 5.0): "Decorators must be placed before the export keyword".
 - **a class with a parameter decorator that the split component uses compiles into parseable modules.** The code splitter cannot parse a constructor parameter decorator (TypeScript `experimentalDecorators`, as dependency injection libraries use them) and fails the build.

 - **a createServerFn in $name does not ship its handler to the client.** With createServerFn the only factory imported, only top-level variable declarations are visited, so a server fn elsewhere is neither extracted nor rejected; with another factory imported, a nested declarator is extracted but its provider exports an undeclared handler.
 - **with another Start factory imported, a server fn in $name works or is rejected at the call.** Next to another Start factory, a server fn that is not assigned to a variable (an object property, a class field, a default export, an assignment, a call argument, a JSX attribute, a conditional, a destructuring) is rejected with a plain `Error` ("createServerFn must be assigned to a variable!") that carries no position: the user is told the file (by the bundler) but not where in it.

-- **with %s imported, a nested server fn whose handler reads a local of its function is supported or rejected naming the capture.** Same cause as above; a server fn nested in a function whose handler reads a local of that function (here `id`) cannot run on its own on the server, and is neither supported nor rejected.

Subject: [PATCH 0782/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): oracle README lanes and
 counts after the non-oracle deletions

The implementation lane now holds main's relocated tests of compiler
internals and the Q6/Q7 legacy harness only; its counts drop
(router-generator 114/2 -> 51/0, router-plugin 104/1 -> 17/0,
start-plugin-core 609/9 -> 468/0). Acceptance tiers and the noncompiler
lane keep their counts. The F-F gap about `corePlugins` is gone with the
option.

+The rulings Q6 and Q7 (2026-10-22, RULINGS) changed: start-plugin-core `test:unit` −1 passed (the 3 Q6 rows on a

+server, a `createMiddleware` read through a namespace of a re-exporting module) and −3 expected-fail rows (the
+in-process CommonJS pin); start-plugin-core `test:integration` +3 expected-fail rows (the CommonJS pin through real
+apps: Vite and Rsbuild builds, Rsbuild dev); start-plugin-core `test:implementation` −72 and router-plugin
+`test:implementation` −21 (the tests of the legacy harness's own helpers, deleted with the pending-rulings files).
 
 The `test:unit` counts include the pending-rulings lane: 1 row in router-plugin (Q5).

Subject: [PATCH 0785/1425] test(compiler-tests): main's noncompiler tests back
 at main's paths, main's compiler-internal tests deleted

The oracle (acceptance) is the compilers' test suite. Main's own tests split
in two:

- Tests of features that are not compilers (start-plugin-core: manifest,
  sitemap, prerender, CSRF config, schema, entry planning, post-build,
  output directory, watch-ignored, createVirtualModule, dev styles, utils,
  Rsbuild normalized client build; react-start-rsc: ClientSlot,
  ReplayableStream, ServerComponent, SlotContext, createRscProxy and the
  three type tests) are restored to main's paths and content
  (git checkout origin/main). Each package lists them in
  tests/noncompiler-tests.json: the `noncompiler` Vitest project
  (test:noncompiler) selects them, the corpus projects, the import gate and
  start-plugin-core's ESLint leave them out. react-start-rsc type-checks and
  lints tests/integration only, as main does not check these files.
- Tests of today's compiler internals that the branch had moved under
  outside-compiler-corpus/ are deleted: router-generator config, transform,
  param-name-warnings, virtual-routes; router-plugin config and the
  handle-route-update controls (the Q5 control stays); start-plugin-core
  compiler-instances, compiler-member-call-receivers, compiler-seams,
  importProtection analysis/defaults/matchers/rewrite/sourceLocation/trace/
  utils/virtualModules, Rsbuild server-fn-resolver-rebuild and swc-rsc,
  server-fn-resolver-module, Vite module-id and start-compiler-utils. The
  corpus covers their behaviour. No real-bug pin was in them.

Corpus comments that pointed at the deleted files now name main's sources.

-/**
- * Not part of the compiler test corpus (an internal entry point: the
- * stringified `handleRouteUpdate` the plugin emits, reached through
- * `getHandleRouteUpdateCode`, called with explicit routes and a live router
- * under jsdom). A rewrite may emit its update code another way; these
- * controls check today's updater with explicit inputs.
- *
- * Real edits on a real page decide each concept instead
- * (integration/route-hmr-browser-updates.test.ts, SYNTHESIS recipe P7):
- * - pathless layout and index route keep matching and resolving; index route
- *   under an edited parent; params.parse edit; generated route state of the
- *   hot Route export: "keeps matching and resolving routes next to an
- *   edited pathless layout or parent; …" (Vite);
- * - lazy options the route tree gave the route (V4 red-astra/08); removed
- *   loader; parser and route-context edits on the active route; descendants
- *   of an edited parent: "keeps the lazy options the route tree gave the
- *   route, …" (Vite, Rsbuild);
- * - an older refresh settling later: "keeps the hot loader data when an
- *   older refresh settles later";
- * - an obsolete inactive preload; removed loader and beforeLoad on a later
- *   visit: "does not cache an obsolete inactive preload, nor run removed
- *   loader or beforeLoad callbacks on a later visit".
- * Head and scripts removal: integration/route-hmr-browser-metadata.test.ts:45.
- * The pending-ruling control (Q5) stays in tests/handle-route-update.test.ts.

- * Internal controls (SPEC §8, FIX-PLAN S41/S42): the Start compiler's
- * extension seams as they exist today, the external import transforms
- * (`compilerTransforms`, which react-start-rsc's CSS transform plugs into)
- * and the provider module directives (`serverFnProviderModuleDirectives`,
- * framework wiring such as Rsbuild's `use server-entry`). They test the
- * current compiler's interface, give no clause coverage and must not block
- * a rewrite that wires these differently. Acceptance is what users see:
- * RSC CSS delivery through the real transport
- * (react-start-rsc tests/integration/rsc-css.test.ts: helpers, renames,
- * namespaces, look-alikes and shadowing) and server functions that run in a
- * real RSC provider (react-start-rsc tests/integration/rsc-start-dev.test.ts).

Subject: [PATCH 0786/1425] docs(compiler-tests): oracle = acceptance; main's
 noncompiler tests untouched, main's compiler-internal tests deleted

README "Lanes" and AGENTS.md: the corpus is the compilers' test suite;
main's tests of features that are not compilers stay at main's paths with
main's content and run in test:noncompiler (listed in
tests/noncompiler-tests.json); main's tests of compiler internals are
deleted because the corpus covers their behaviour. Implementation and
noncompiler counts updated; acceptance counts unchanged. Root AGENTS.md
lists test:noncompiler among the targets to run.

 - **Label:** an implementation test is a file under a directory named `outside-compiler-corpus/` in a package's `tests/` (fast tier) or `tests/integration/` (slow tier). One label, by location; no tags or name prefixes. A corpus file that contains an implementation block moves that block to such a file. Its header says why it is outside the corpus and which corpus test decides the outcome instead, if any.
 - **Selection** (router-plugin, start-plugin-core, router-generator: Vitest projects in `vite.config.ts`):
-  - `test:unit` (project `unit`, plus `types` in router-generator) and `test:integration` (project `integration`, plus `integration-pages` in router-plugin and start-plugin-core) select the corpus only: they exclude `**/outside-compiler-corpus/**`.
+  - `test:unit` (project `unit`, plus `types` in router-generator) and `test:integration` (project `integration`, plus `integration-pages` in router-plugin and start-plugin-core) select the corpus only: they exclude `**/outside-compiler-corpus/**` and main's noncompiler tests (below).
   - `integration-pages` (files under `tests/integration/pages/`) is slow-tier acceptance like `integration`: page tests of the fast tier's kind (router-plugin route apps, start-plugin-core `<Hydrate>` and import forms) whose cost does not fit the fast tier's budget. Its tests run concurrently within a file (`sequence.concurrent`): each holds its own leased host (router-plugin `route-app.ts`) or its own pages of the file's host (start-plugin-core `start-host.ts`). router-plugin's `unit` runs the same way.
   - The projects with browser pages and the `integration` projects of router-plugin and start-plugin-core keep modules across the test files of a worker (`isolate: false`): the browser, and hosts a file gives back, serve later files. A file must leave nothing behind but what the harness owns (it gets its environment back from the setup file).
   - `test:implementation` (projects `implementation` and `implementation-integration`) selects the implementation tests of both tiers; `test:implementation:unit` the fast ones only.
   - The root `test:pr`/`test:ci` scripts run the implementation targets too (the compiler platform workflow runs only `test:implementation:unit`), so no implementation test is lost locally or in PR CI; acceptance of a rewrite reads only `test:unit` and `test:integration`.
 - **Harness controls** of a compiler package (tests of its own test helpers that drive the real compiler, e.g. router-plugin's `regression-helpers.test.ts` in both tiers) are outside the corpus too: they check the oracle, not the compiler, and a correct rewrite may differ in the incidental details they lean on. Controls on fixed inputs may stay where they are.
-- A package that gets its first implementation test adds the two projects and the two scripts the same way. react-start-rsc selects its runtime tests in `test:noncompiler`. This package's own tests are harness controls, not compiler tests; none of them is an implementation test of a compiler.
-- **Noncompiler coverage:** start-plugin-core build plumbing and react-start-rsc runtime tests live under `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/noncompiler/` and run in `test:noncompiler`, excluded from the implementation projects too. Root `test:pr`/`test:ci` and compiler-platform CI run the lane. RSC compiler acceptance currently lives entirely in integration.
+- A package that gets its first implementation test adds the two projects and the two scripts the same way. This package's own tests are harness controls, not compiler tests; none of them is an implementation test of a compiler.
+- **Main's own tests.** The corpus is the compilers' test suite. Main's tests of features that are not compilers (start-plugin-core: Start manifest, sitemap, prerender, CSRF config, schema, entry planning, post-build, output directory, watch-ignored, `createVirtualModule`, dev styles, utils; react-start-rsc: the RSC runtime components, streams, `createRscProxy` and the type tests) stay at main's paths with main's content, untouched: each package lists them in `tests/noncompiler-tests.json`, which its `noncompiler` Vitest project selects (`test:noncompiler`) and the corpus projects, the import gate and (start-plugin-core) ESLint leave out. Root `test:pr`/`test:ci`, root `pnpm test` and compiler-platform CI run the lane. Do not edit these files for the oracle; a new noncompiler test of main's kind goes next to them and into the list. Main's tests of today's compiler internals (internal functions called directly, exact output text and snapshots, internal classes) are deleted: the corpus covers their behaviour through public entry points. RSC compiler acceptance currently lives entirely in integration.
 - Budgets (`test-budgets.json`) cover the corpus tiers; the implementation and noncompiler projects have none.
 - What does not belong outside the corpus: a goal pin (`.fails`) of a real bug, a test of supported behaviour that is merely slow, or a test that decides a user-visible outcome through an internal entry point (e.g. the emitted `handleRouteUpdate` driven by a live router: label it in its header, keep it in the corpus, and reroute it through a public entry point: the import gate below flags it until then). Before moving a test out, make sure no wrong compiler is caught only by it (e.g. a known mutant of the compiler).

Subject: [PATCH 0787/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): a path relative to the
 working directory names a file

Vite prints a file relative to the working directory
(tests/integration/.plugin-host-x/src/label.ts): with a root, a longer path
ending with the project-relative path names the file when the absolute
path ends with it; a leading slash (webpack:/src/a.ts) counts like ./.
The router-plugin host control accepts a warning printed on more than one
channel, as before.

Subject: [PATCH 0789/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): app directories keep
 their path below the root

An app's temporary directory now mirrors the path of the directory it
stands in for from the repository's root (the outermost node_modules),
with the node_modules links, tsconfig.json and package.json at their
mirrored places. Apps stay as deep as they were: router-plugin's
relocation test, which serves the same route from project roots at
different depths, still serves it from different depths, and no longer
creates those roots in the package.

The oracle README's #34 caveat names the other form of the race: the
optimizer's write into an app removed meanwhile, an unhandled rejection.

A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.

Subject: [PATCH 0791/1425] test(start-plugin-core): the ignored importer is
 never reported

With behavior "error", onViolation may receive the other importer's
violation more than once (seen under V4 green-sol/19, which does not touch
import protection); assert that a violation is reported and that none is
at the exempt importer instead of counting the callback's calls.

Subject: [PATCH 0792/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): annotate mentionsFile's
 loop variables for tsc 6

router-generator's test:implementation type-checks with tsc 6, which
cannot infer the loop's `end` and `whole` (TS7022).

Subject: [PATCH 0794/1425] test(compiler-tests): delete what the merged
 clean-ups left unused

- start-plugin-core: the legacy regression helpers, tests/start-runtime.ts,
  importProtection/mock-modules.ts and compiler-transforms-seam.ts (their
  last users were deleted by main-tests and nol-delete); the F1 caret pin
  known-bugs-start-compiler-code-frame.test.ts with its code-frame reader
  (printed message text, code frames included, is not tested); the unused
  reactStartPackage and two unused importProtection option helpers.
- compiler-test-utils: the Node stand-ins module-linker, render and
  lazy-probe, importBindings and keptDynamicImports, with their controls;
  an unused escape helper. native-import.cjs stays: start-compose-app.ts
  imports the real SSR build with it.
- router-plugin: the unused pageDiagnostics.
- The implementation lane is empty in every package: its Vitest projects,
  test:implementation scripts and Nx targets, router-generator's
  tsconfig.implementation.json, the root test:pr/test:ci/vite-ecosystem-ci
  entries and the compiler-platforms step are removed.

-/**
- * @deprecated Observes laziness in the Node module graph of
- * `./module-linker` (RULES-AUDIT §2.D #8): laziness is the bundler's and
- * the browser's (`./build-harness` chunk placement, the page's requests in
- * `./browser`). Kept for the callers that have not moved yet.
- *
- * Observes lazy loading in a module graph (`module-linker.ts`) by the modules
- * actually evaluated when a value's real trigger completes, never by
- * recognising the helper that builds a lazy value (SPEC J2.6, §5.3, §5.8):
- * `lazyRouteComponent`, `lazyFn`, `React.lazy`, an equivalent wrapper, a
- * wrapper that first awaits something else, or an intermediate module that
- * loads the value's module itself (a dynamic facade) all pass.
- *
- * API: `createLazyProbe(graph, entry, triggers, { owned })` →
- * - `isLazy(name)`: completing the trigger of `name` evaluates an owned
- *   module that did not load with `entry`.
- * - `loadedBy(name)`: ids of the owned modules completing it evaluates, in
- *   evaluation order (one or more: facades and support modules are allowed).
- * - `groups(names)`: the lazy `names` grouped by what loads together: once
- *   one has loaded, completing the trigger of every other of its group
- *   evaluates nothing new. Each pair is observed on its own, so a name of
- *   another group may share support modules without joining the group. Each
- *   group sorted, groups sorted. A group that pulls another group's name in
- *   without the reverse shows as two overlapping groups.
- *
- * `triggers[name](exports)` starts loading `name` the way its runtime does,
- * given the namespace of `entry` (a router's `component.preload()`, a loader
- * call, a Hydrate boundary's `prefetch`…), and returns what it returns: the
- * probe awaits it (a rejection is ignored: a value that is not lazy may run
- * user code that throws), then lets the modules it started importing
- * without awaiting them finish loading. Every observation runs in its own
- * fork of the graph (fresh module instances, the same stubs), so the graph
- * a test inspects loads nothing it did not ask for, and one observation
- * never sees what another loaded. `owned(id)` tells the modules that count
- * (default: modules of the graph, not stubs or packages).

- * @deprecated A re-implementation of module resolution and evaluation
- * (RULES-AUDIT §2.D #4; N9, N24): stubs keyed by the emitted specifier,
- * and `fallbackStub` turns a missing import into `undefined`. Kept only
- * for callers that have not moved yet. New tests evaluate server code
- * through Vite's module runner
- * (`./plugin-host` `importServer`, `./dev-server` `import`: real
- * resolution by target, a missing import throws, `./strict-runner`) and
- * client code in a real browser (`./plugin-host` `runClient`,
- * `./browser` `runInPage`). Its own controls (module-linker.test.ts) are
- * fixed-input controls, not compiler acceptance.
- *
- * Evaluates test modules as real ES modules, the way a bundler's output runs:
- * Node's own linker links every import and export form (default, namespace,
- * side-effect imports, `export * from`, `export { x } from`, JSON modules),
- * live bindings and cycles, and a dynamic `import()` evaluates its module
- * only when it is called.
- *
- * Module sources live in memory (a module graph) and are served through
- * in-thread module hooks (`module.registerHooks`) under URLs that are unique
- * per graph, so every graph evaluates fresh module instances. TypeScript is
- * erased and JSX compiles with React's automatic runtime (`react/jsx-runtime`,
- * as `@vitejs/plugin-react` compiles it); there is no JSX stand-in. A graph
- * renders with the real framework when it links real packages (`packages`).

- *   `fallbackStub`, `transform`, `scope`, `importMeta`.
- * - `graph.import(id)`, `graph.add(id, code)`, `graph.has(id)`.
- * - Load observers: `graph.evaluated` (graph modules, in evaluation order),
- *   and `graph.requested` (every module the graph's modules requested:
- *   graph modules, stubs, packages).
- * - `graph.importPackage(specifier)`: the instance of a real package the
- *   graph's modules get (to render what they export with the same React).
- * - `graph.fork()`: the same modules and options, fresh module instances (to

Subject: [PATCH 0795/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): oracle docs after the
 integration of S-A, Q6/Q7, NOL-delete and main-tests

README counts, lanes (no implementation lane) and legacy note; RULINGS
'oracle tests only', F1 and real-requests entries; SPEC internal-controls
and C10 lines; KNOWN-BUGS without the F1 caret pin (362 pin sites in 100
files, J4 81); AGENTS without the implementation lane and the Node
stand-ins.

 Replacing or rewriting a compiler? Start with [oracle/README.md](oracle/README.md): its status (measured after the repair), how tests reach the compilers, the lanes, the pending user rulings, then the spec the tests cite, the rulings and the known bugs.

   - A Vite host with `client: true` listens (on `127.0.0.1`, as every harness server: FINAL-PASS #56), serves a page the plugins transform (`transformIndexHtml`), pre-bundles dependencies, and keeps an idle HMR client connected for its lifetime, so a full reload sent between runs reaches no later run's page.
   - Configure an app as its config file does: Start's plugin is `tanstackStart()` of the built framework package (start-plugin-core `tests/start-plugins.ts`), next to the framework's own plugin (`@vitejs/plugin-react`, `@rsbuild/plugin-react`, `vite-plugin-solid`, `@vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx`), never a hand SWC or JSX configuration; entries through Start's `client.entry`/`server.entry`.
   - The packages' own hosts build on these and are shared within a test process: router-plugin `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`: hosts leased to one test at a time, one per configuration, free hosts beyond `freeHostLimit` closed) and start-plugin-core `tests/start-host.ts` (`useStartHost`/`useStartHosts`: one host per file and options, taken before the file's tests and given back after them).
-- Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). `./module-linker`, `./render` and `./lazy-probe` are deprecated (Node stand-ins, reached only by implementation-lane helpers); do not add callers. A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.
+- Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). Nothing evaluates client code in Node (no module linker or renderer stand-ins). A built server bundle is run as a host runs it: imported by Node and served over HTTP (start-plugin-core `tests/integration/start-compose-app.ts`). A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.
 - What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). `runInPage` returns only once the run's page left the run's document: what the dev server sends after the run (a full reload after the test's edit) reaches no page a later run gets.
 - Per-test resources in a helper (a leased host, a page, an app) belong to the test of `./test-scope` (`currentTest()`, `onTestFinished`), not Vitest's global `onTestFinished`: in a concurrent file the global one names the test that started last. A project that uses them lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/test-scope-setup` in `setupFiles` (it also gives each test file the process environment and working directory it started with).
 - Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`). "Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. A diagnostic is checked by its severity, the file it names and the position it reports, never by its wording (`./diagnostics` `expectDiagnostic`; ruling 2026-10-22).
   - Each channel gets its own work's output, also what a bundler's native callbacks print (Rolldown hooks, Rspack hooks): by the app root it names, or as the only work open; otherwise every open channel gets it, marked `shared`. A compilation's report is recorded once, from the compilation, not again from Rsbuild's logger. The Rsbuild hosts stay quiet in the terminal and the page (`logLevel` and `dev.client.logLevel` `silent`); never raise them to see Rsbuild's output.
 - Edits settle on their outcome within one bound (`./outcome` `waitForOutcome`, the dev harnesses' `edit`/`settle`), never on counts of events, compiles or updates. Whether a Vite dev page reloaded or applied an update in place is judged once the page handled everything the server sent, including what its own `invalidate()` calls made the server send (`./hmr-sync` `settlePage`), never by a time bound. A wait that starts once the hosts handled the edit may also end, as a failure, once every host stayed quiet without the outcome for a while (`failWhenQuietFor`): the edit reached its final state.
 
-## Corpus and implementation tests
+## Corpus and noncompiler tests
 
-The compiler test corpus is an oracle: a compiler that passes every corpus test should be a good compiler, and a correct compiler built differently should pass it (oracle/README.md, "Status"). Do not change a test's assertions, inputs or expected outcomes to fit a compiler; report a test that a correct compiler cannot pass instead. Some useful tests check choices of today's implementation that a correct rewrite may make differently (printed bytes, log policy, internal generators called with forced options such as the server fn resolver generator, perf counters). Those are **implementation tests**, kept and run, but not part of the corpus.
+The compiler test corpus is an oracle: a compiler that passes every corpus test should be a good compiler, and a correct compiler built differently should pass it (oracle/README.md, "Status"). Do not change a test's assertions, inputs or expected outcomes to fit a compiler; report a test that a correct compiler cannot pass instead.
 
-- **Label:** an implementation test is a file under a directory named `outside-compiler-corpus/` in a package's `tests/` (fast tier) or `tests/integration/` (slow tier). One label, by location; no tags or name prefixes. A corpus file that contains an implementation block moves that block to such a file. Its header says why it is outside the corpus and which corpus test decides the outcome instead, if any.
+- The corpus runs real tools and asserts observable outcomes only, entering the compilers through public entry points. There is no lane for tests of today's implementation (internal functions, printed bytes, log policy, perf counters) and no tests of a compiler package's own test helpers: such tests are deleted, not moved (rulings 2026-10-22). This package's own tests are controls of the shared harness.
 - **Selection** (router-plugin, start-plugin-core, router-generator: Vitest projects in `vite.config.ts`):
-  - `test:unit` (project `unit`, plus `types` in router-generator) and `test:integration` (project `integration`, plus `integration-pages` in router-plugin and start-plugin-core) select the corpus only: they exclude `**/outside-compiler-corpus/**` and main's noncompiler tests (below).
+  - `test:unit` (project `unit`, plus `types` in router-generator) and `test:integration` (project `integration`, plus `integration-pages` in router-plugin and start-plugin-core) select the corpus: every test file except main's noncompiler tests (below).
   - `integration-pages` (files under `tests/integration/pages/`) is slow-tier acceptance like `integration`: page tests of the fast tier's kind (router-plugin route apps, start-plugin-core `<Hydrate>` and import forms) whose cost does not fit the fast tier's budget. Its tests run concurrently within a file (`sequence.concurrent`): each holds its own leased host (router-plugin `route-app.ts`) or its own pages of the file's host (start-plugin-core `start-host.ts`). router-plugin's `unit` runs the same way.
   - The projects with browser pages and the `integration` projects of router-plugin and start-plugin-core keep modules across the test files of a worker (`isolate: false`): the browser, and hosts a file gives back, serve later files. A file must leave nothing behind but what the harness owns (it gets its environment back from the setup file).
-  - `test:implementation` (projects `implementation` and `implementation-integration`) selects the implementation tests of both tiers; `test:implementation:unit` the fast ones only.
-  - The root `test:pr`/`test:ci` scripts run the implementation targets too (the compiler platform workflow runs only `test:implementation:unit`), so no implementation test is lost locally or in PR CI; acceptance of a rewrite reads only `test:unit` and `test:integration`.
-- **Harness controls** of a compiler package (tests of its own test helpers that drive the real compiler) are outside the corpus too: they check the oracle, not the compiler, and a correct rewrite may differ in the incidental details they lean on. Controls on fixed inputs may stay where they are.
-- A package that gets its first implementation test adds the two projects and the two scripts the same way. This package's own tests are harness controls, not compiler tests; none of them is an implementation test of a compiler.
 - **Main's own tests.** The corpus is the compilers' test suite. Main's tests of features that are not compilers (start-plugin-core: Start manifest, sitemap, prerender, CSRF config, schema, entry planning, post-build, output directory, watch-ignored, `createVirtualModule`, dev styles, utils; react-start-rsc: the RSC runtime components, streams, `createRscProxy` and the type tests) stay at main's paths with main's content, untouched: each package lists them in `tests/noncompiler-tests.json`, which its `noncompiler` Vitest project selects (`test:noncompiler`) and the corpus projects and (start-plugin-core) ESLint leave out. Root `test:pr`/`test:ci`, root `pnpm test` and compiler-platform CI run the lane. Do not edit these files for the oracle; a new noncompiler test of main's kind goes next to them and into the list. Main's tests of today's compiler internals (internal functions called directly, exact output text and snapshots, internal classes) are deleted: the corpus covers their behaviour through public entry points. RSC compiler acceptance currently lives entirely in integration.
-- Budgets (`test-budgets.json`) cover the corpus tiers; the implementation and noncompiler projects have none.
-- What does not belong outside the corpus: a goal pin (`.fails`) of a real bug, a test of supported behaviour that is merely slow, or a test that decides a user-visible outcome through an internal entry point (e.g. the emitted `handleRouteUpdate` driven by a live router: label it in its header, keep it in the corpus, and reroute it through a public entry point). Before moving a test out, make sure no wrong compiler is caught only by it (e.g. a known mutant of the compiler).
+- Budgets (`test-budgets.json`) cover the corpus tiers; the noncompiler projects have none.
+- A test that decides a user-visible outcome through an internal entry point (e.g. the emitted `handleRouteUpdate` driven by a live router, held by ruling Q5) stays in the corpus, labelled in its header, until it is rerouted through a public entry point.

 - Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
 - Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier, the inner loop) runs `tests/**` in process; a Vite dev server in middleware mode is allowed. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: every test that starts a real build (`build`, `buildAndRun`), an Rsbuild dev server or watch compiler, a child Node process or a browser page (`openRouteHmrPage`). Put such tests under `tests/integration/`; a file with tests of both kinds is split by test into files of the same name in both directories. Run both tiers before handing back.
-- Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: compile the route and load the emitted modules with `loadRoute` from `tests/route-app.ts` (built on the module linker from `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils`), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.
+- Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: load the route with `loadRoute` from `tests/route-app.ts` (a real Vite dev server with the public plugins; the route runs in a real browser page), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.
 - Run behavioural tests for React, Solid and Vue through the `targetFramework` option of the test helpers.
 - Test what the page shows after a route file edit with `openRouteHmrPage` (`tests/route-hmr-page.ts`): a real dev server with the framework's plugin, a real browser page and the real HMR client. Never copy bundler, HMR-client or React Refresh logic into tests. There is no in-process HMR model: test route HMR with `openRouteHmrPage`. A unit test of `handleRouteUpdate` may call it with explicit inputs and a real router, but must not recreate hot contexts, disposal, module selection or framework refresh.
 - To run one test file or `-t` filter quickly, the slow-tier load gate and the test budgets: [compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md](../compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md).

Subject: [PATCH 0797/1425] test(start-plugin-core): check that
 import-protection violations are printed, and count printed warnings for log

expectViolationsAt also asserts, for a run that records what it printed
(a dev server, a build), that each violation onViolation received is
printed as a warning or an error naming its importer and position (SPEC
J6.3). The log rows count the printed warnings naming the importer
instead of onViolation calls (J6.5: log governs printing).

Subject: [PATCH 0798/1425] test(start-plugin-core): a wrong-environment
 env-only function must be a function whose call throws

settle (node, page prelude and the local page helpers) now takes the
function to call and gives back a value that is no function as it is, so
throwsError no longer accepts a compiler that replaces a wrong-environment
createServerOnlyFn/createClientOnlyFn with no function at all (J4.10).

Subject: [PATCH 0799/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): decide the typeof
 exemption of dangling names per module, and fail on unreadable chunks

The chunk's free names keep the names it also probes with typeof
(readNames keepProbed); each module decides for itself whether its read is
guarded. A module that probes the name explains the read; a module whose
rendered code in a Vite build lost the name (Rolldown's OutputChunk.modules)
is no reader. Start's Vite builds now record the same module evidence as
the other harnesses. A chunk Yuku reports a parse error for fails the check
instead of being half read.

Subject: [PATCH 0800/1425] test(start-plugin-core): restore main's Rsbuild RSC
 rule-cloning test (#7482) as a non-compiler test

Function-valued Rspack rule fields must survive the RSC setup
(enableSwcReactServerComponents): Rsbuild configuration plumbing, not a
compiler. Restored unchanged from main and run by test:noncompiler.

Subject: [PATCH 0801/1425] test: a compile error must name the module, with
 its line after the file is named

expectCompileError passes the module's file (CompileFailure records it),
so a compile error at the right line of another module no longer passes.
The shared diagnostic matcher reads a line:column or :line only after the
text names the expected file (a code frame's highlighted line anywhere),
so a stack frame or a trace step before the file no longer stands in for
the position.

Subject: [PATCH 0802/1425] test(router-generator): keep temporary files in the
 run's directory

router-generator's Vitest config uses the shared run-directory global
setup, like the other compiler-test packages: the generator's own
temporary files (TSR_TMP_DIR) and the harnesses' apps (runDirectory())
live in the run's directory, removed when the run ends, also after a
crash.

Subject: [PATCH 0803/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): oracle docs match what
 F-L checks; check the MDX dev row's printed warnings

README (Diagnostics, G8, Status, counts re-run at F-L), RULINGS
(import-protection reports through onViolation) and SPEC G8 say what the
tests now check: each import-protection violation is printed, log is
judged on printed warnings, the typeof exemption is per module, and a
position counts after the file is named. The MDX dev row titled "logs a
warning at each importer" now checks the printed warnings.

 after the FINAL-2 measurement

Measured at f16aae85ac (beetle, 3 trees x 4 workers; budgets locally): counts
confirmed in every tier and lane, R1-R11 (R2: only Q5; R7: one row that
depends on the bundler error's wording), V4 90/90 reds caught and 34/34
greens clean, stability (#34 only), the git-status sweep, strict budgets.
Also records the tmpfs-dependent router-plugin watch row and the run

+the test apps live in temporary directories. What was measured on the integrated branch (FINAL-2, at f16aae85ac, on
+beetle with 3 trees × 4 workers, and locally for the budgets):
+
+- **Today's compilers pass every acceptance test.** The unpatched suite ran 9 times (3 rounds of 3 trees in
+  parallel, 1-minute load up to about 60 on 32 cores).
+  - Every tier and lane gave the counts below in every run, except start-plugin-core `test:integration`. That tier
+    had one or two #34 rows in 6 of the 9 runs (9 rows), each of which passed alone.
+  - No #42 failure, and no other failure.
+  - One exception, outside beetle: router-plugin `integration/generator-watch-mode.test.ts` "webpack: a created route
+    file is scaffolded …" fails intermittently on a machine whose system temporary directory is tmpfs. The webpack
+    watch session never picks up the created route file within 20 s.
+    - Seen: 3 of 6 local router-plugin `test:integration` runs, and 4 of 15 runs of the file alone.
+    - Not seen with `TMPDIR` on disk (0 of 10 runs alone) or in any beetle run.
+    - Since F-J the watched app lives in the system temporary directory. With `/tmp` on tmpfs, set `TMPDIR` to a
+      directory on disk.
+- **Restructured compilers pass, with one coupling.** Eleven behaviour-preserving restructures of today's compilers
+  (R1–R11) were run against the whole acceptance suite. They cover: moved modules, renamed ids and generated names,
+  another printer, reworded diagnostics, another AST seam, other report channels, another server-function provider
+  architecture, other chunk layouts, other trace order, and other loader paths. Every failing file was re-run alone
+  with and without the restructure.
+  - R1, R3–R6 and R8–R11: no acceptance test fails.
+  - R2 (moved internal modules) fails only the Q5 row (`handle-route-update.test.ts`, held by its pending ruling).
+  - **R7 (every compiler diagnostic on the console, a short error to the bundler) fails one row:** start-plugin-core
+    `integration/importProtection/reported-location.test.ts` "rsbuild dev: a re-export".
+    - Its helper `expectNoOtherErrors` (`reported-location-app.ts`) accepts a bundler error only if the error

+    - For Rsbuild dev that importer is `webpack:/src/a.tsx:2:1` (the F2 pin), and the helper keeps only `webpack` as

+    - So the row passes today only because the full report happens to contain "webpack". **The row depends on the
+      error's wording.** It is not fixed yet.
   - Expected pin flips, where the restructure fixes the pinned bug: R3 ×6 (user names that collide with today's
-    generated names), R8 ×6 (SSR runs server functions in place), R9 ×3 (entry re-export of shared bindings).
-  - 7 rows failed once and passed alone: all #34 (below).
-  - At d07614d3b3 the start-plugin-core acceptance tiers ran again under R1–R11: the same result, and R8 also flips
-    the 4 Vite pins F-I added for #7213 (it fixes that race). One R9 row failed with #34 and passed alone.
-- **Wrong compilers are caught, correct ones pass.** The adversarial variants of rounds 1 and 2 (written by
-  reviewers as product patches) were re-run at 633a4c0917 against `test:unit` + `test:integration` (the
-  pending-rulings, implementation and noncompiler lanes recorded, never counted):
-  - all 90 red (wrong) variants are caught, each by acceptance tests that fail again when their file runs alone;
-    none is caught only by a non-acceptance lane;
-  - all 34 valid green (correct but different) variants pass; green-sol/20 flips its two expected pins (it fixes
-    that bug), and green-sol/01 is ruled not a valid green. Two greens (green-sol/09, /13) failed only #34 rows, in the
-    suite and alone; three more alone runs each passed apart from one more #34 hit.
-  - Every red caught in the previous measurement (45f58967ea) is still caught, 84 through the same rows. One,
-    red-astra-r2/15 (the import-protection mock inherits `Object.prototype`), is now caught by its own row only
-    (`importProtection/rule-outcomes.test.ts` "inherited member names of a mocked import remain safe to consume",
-    Vite and Rsbuild): the shared safe-mock probe no longer calls `constructor`/`__proto__` members (SPEC §5.18), so
-    the 179 other rows that caught it before pass.
-  - The five reds caught by rows of start-plugin-core's unit-tier `known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`, re-run on
-    start-plugin-core at d07614d3b3: still caught.
-- **No internal imports.** The only internal imports left in acceptance tests are held by pending user rulings
-  (below).
-- **Stable.** The unpatched suite ran 9 times at 633a4c0917 (3 rounds of 3 trees in parallel, 4 workers each,
-  1-minute load up to 55 on 32 cores): all 15 tiers and lanes gave identical counts, except one #34 row in 4 of the 9
-  start-plugin-core integration runs. No #42 failure. At d07614d3b3, start-plugin-core ran 3 more times: identical
-  counts apart from one #34 row in 2 runs.
-- **Fast, with little margin.** On a quiet machine (load below 4 at the start) at 4 workers every tier passed its

+  - 4 rows failed once and passed alone, plus 1 that the clean tree also failed alone: all #34.
+  - The noncompiler lane (never counted) fails 43 rows under R1: main's own manifest and Rsbuild client-build tests
+    build module ids with the `tsr-split` query.
+- **Wrong compilers are caught, correct ones pass.** The adversarial variants of rounds 1 and 2 (product patches
+  written by reviewers) were run against `test:unit` + `test:integration`; the noncompiler lane was recorded, never
+  counted.
+  - **All 90 red (wrong) variants are caught**, each by acceptance tests that fail again when their file runs alone
+    and pass alone without the variant. None is caught only by a non-acceptance lane.
+  - **All 34 valid green (correct but different) variants pass.**
+    - green-sol/20 flips its two expected pins (it fixes that bug).
+    - green-sol/01 is ruled not a valid green.
+    - green-sol-r2/10 failed only a #34 row; it passed 3 of 3 alone runs with the patch.
+  - Every red caught in the previous measurement (633a4c0917) is still caught.
+    - 68 reds are caught by the same rows, 5 by more rows, and 17 by fewer or other rows. Most of the rows they lost
+      were #34 failures (not catches) or were renamed.
+    - **red-fable-r2/18** (violation columns reported zero-based) is caught by 100 rows instead of 171. The 53 rows
+      that now pass read the importer's file only, through `onViolation`; before, they parsed the printed report.
+    - **red-fable/20** (a mixed type/value import treated as type-only) is caught by one row instead of two
+      (`v2-type-only.test.ts` "rsbuild dev").
+    - red-astra-r2/15 is still caught by its own row only.
+- **No internal imports.** The only internal import left in acceptance tests is the Q5 row, held by its pending
+  ruling.
+- **Tests write nothing into the repository.** After a full unpatched run of a tree, `git status --porcelain
+--ignored` and the packages' `node_modules` dot entries are the same as before.
+  - The only file a run writes is the Q2 route tree of router-generator's `nested` fixture.
+  - Outside the repository, a run can leave things in the system temporary directory:
+    - an empty run directory `tanstack-compiler-tests-*/generator/`, which the route generator writes after
+      router-plugin's run removed the directory (13 of 20 runs on beetle);
+    - Chromium's `.org.chromium.Chromium.*` directories.

Subject: [PATCH 0805/1425] test(start-plugin-core): judge other errors and
 importer locations by file, never by a colon split

expectNoOtherErrors took the importer's file as everything before its first
colon, so Rsbuild dev's `webpack:/src/a.tsx:2:1` (the F2 pin) gave `webpack`
and the row passed only because the bundler's error text contained that word.
Locations are now split at a trailing `:line(:column)` only (locationParts),
and the other-errors check asks whether an error names the importer's app file
(mentionsFile), so it depends on the file alone.

Subject: [PATCH 0806/1425] test(router-generator): pin the event dropped while
 a run checks unchanged files

Generator.run ends a batch whose events all changed nothing with an early
break, without looking at the events queued meanwhile. A route file created
while webpack's rebuild runs the generator for the unchanged route tree is
then neither scaffolded nor routed. This is what made router-plugin's
generator-watch-mode row fail now and then (more often with /tmp on tmpfs).
Pinned deterministically through the public Generator, with a control that
sends the same events one after the other.

Subject: [PATCH 0807/1425] test(router-plugin): start the generator watch
 session on an app with its route tree and no recent change

The session's first build wrote the route tree, so webpack always rebuilt
right after it, and a route file the test created then could meet the
pinned generator bug (router-generator generator-dev.test.ts "events that
arrive together"). The app now gets its route tree from a real build first
and its files are a minute old, so nothing is pending when the test creates
the route file.

Subject: [PATCH 0808/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): let the run's teardown
 alone remove the run directory

Each test process removed its shared app directories when it exited, and
the last workers exit while Vitest runs the global teardown, which removes
the whole run directory. Node's fs.rmSync (24 and 26, not 22) returns
without an error and leaves the rest of a tree behind when another process
removes part of it meanwhile, so the run directory and its generator/ were
left in the system's temporary directory. With a run directory, the
teardown is now the only one to remove it; without one, the processes still
clean up on exit.

Subject: [PATCH 0810/1425] test(start-plugin-core): request the dev-deadlock
 pin's module before the dev server starts its optimizer

The pin "transforms a client module with a server fn and a top-level call
of a pre-bundled dependency" passed once under load (green-sol/17). Vite's
dependency optimizer ends its first crawl of static imports when no request
is in flight 50 ms after it starts. The harness made its first request after
createServer(), which had already started the optimizer, so a loaded machine
could delay the request past those 50 ms: the transform was then not in the
crawl, Vite optimized zod in a later run, and the deadlock did not happen.

The harness now creates a listening server, requests src/fn.ts, waits until
Vite loads it, and only then calls listen(), which starts the optimizer. The
transform is in flight when the optimizer starts, so it is always in the
crawl.

Subject: [PATCH 0811/1425] test(react-start-rsc): pin Rsbuild RSC CSS of a
 helper module's render in the oracle, drop the e2e copy

Rsbuild's RSC CSS transform only rewrites server function provider modules
(`serverFnProviderOnly: true`, react-start src/plugin/rsbuild.ts), so a
server component a helper module renders gets no CSS. The e2e spec
rsc-css-helper was the only pin of that; the Rsbuild oracle now holds it as a
test.fails row (red today, green when serverFnProviderOnly is dropped). The
Vite half is covered by rsc-css.test.ts. Restores e2e/react-start/rsc to main;
its route tree is what the app's build generates.

Subject: [PATCH 0812/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): wait for Vite's
 dependency optimizer before closing a dev server

Vite 8.3.4's optimizer keeps writing node_modules/.vite/deps_temp_* after
close() resolved (final-pass #34), so removing the app failed with
ENOTEMPTY, or the optimizer's write into the removed app was an unhandled
rejection. closeViteServer waits until each environment's optimizer has
initialized and scanned and no deps*_temp_* directory is left, then
closes. The ctu dev server harness and the raw Vite servers of
start-plugin-core's known-bugs-start-compiler-dev and hydrate-build-dev use
it. Authorized by the user's ruling of 2026-10-23.

Subject: [PATCH 0813/1425] test(start-plugin-core): star re-export of a denied
 module is a mock, or the build fails or dev warns

Ruling Q4 (2026-10-23): a name re-exported with export * from a denied
module is a complete safe mock; otherwise a build fails and dev warns at
the export *; never the denied module's value or a crash. The dev pin now
accepts the warning and checks every resource the page loaded for the
secret (a denied package of its own, so a leak is visible); new build rows
on Vite and Rsbuild (pinned on Rsbuild for a denied specifier, whose build
succeeds with the name undefined).

 - **client: a server fn module calling a function of a denied specifier at the top level loads.** When the Start compiler resolves an import of the module it is compiling (here the callee of a top-level call next to a server fn), import protection handles a denied specifier before the module's transform result exists, and falls back to `getModuleInfo(importer).code`, which Vite's dev server does not support: reading it throws (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveExportsForDeniedSpecifier`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
 - **client: the importer of a module whose server-only marker was removed loads the module.** Import protection replaces a client import of a module it knows is server-only-marked with a mock when it resolves the import.

Subject: [PATCH 0815/1425] test(router-generator): apply rulings Q1 and Q2 (no
 injected fs, file route types through router-core)

Q1: delete concurrent-write.test.ts, whose tests inject an fs into the
generator; the K-19 pin keeps its real-filesystem part (tmpDir on
/dev/shm, files replaced by a rename) in generator-options.test.ts.
Q2: the nested type tests check InferFileRouteTypes<typeof routeTree>
instead of the generated FileRouteTypes name, and run on a copy of the
fixture (integration/fixture-types-nested.test.ts): the types project,
its tsconfig and the last write into the package are gone.

 # Route generator
 
 - Preserve the existing `safeFileWrite` path: temporary-file rename, modification-time conflict retry, and post-rename stat. Keep unchanged-write suppression and main/shadow cache rotation; these protect concurrent edits, avoid watcher loops, and discard deleted routes.
-- Run the complete `test:unit` target after generator changes. Its runtime phase generates fixture route trees before typechecking their consumers; `test:types` excludes the generator fixtures.
+- Run the complete `test:unit` and `test:integration` targets after generator changes. The fixtures run in copies (no test writes into this package); `test:integration` type-checks the route trees generated there (`tests/integration/fixture-types-*.test.ts`); `test:types` excludes the generator fixtures.
 - Add generation cases under `tests/generator/<case>/`. Read [`tests/generator.test.ts`](tests/generator.test.ts) for per-case configuration and preprocessing. Change route inputs/configuration or templates; the test harness generates the route trees (no expected snapshots: the tests read the generated tree through a real router, the type checker and the text the documented output options control).
 - `preprocess()` recreates selected route files for `file-modification*` and `custom-scaffolding`. Edit their templates/configuration/preprocessing when changing those inputs; edits to recreated files are overwritten.
 - To run one test file or `-t` filter quickly, the slow-tier load gate and the test budgets: [compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md](../compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md).

Subject: [PATCH 0816/1425] test(router-plugin): apply rulings Q5, Q8, Q9 and
 NEW-1

Q5: replace the jsdom updater test with a real page row (Vite and
Rsbuild): an app that creates a second router after its own keeps
working through a route edit. Q8: delete the two-router-plugins row and
the hand-built Start composition sharing a plugin context; the rest of
router-plugin-context.test.ts is code-splitter-edits.test.ts. Q9: delete
the immediate tsr.config.json reload pin. NEW-1: the decorator pin is a
real bug. jsdom is no longer used by router-plugin.

   - The packages' own hosts build on these and are shared within a test process: router-plugin `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`: hosts leased to one test at a time, one per configuration, free hosts beyond `freeHostLimit` closed) and start-plugin-core `tests/start-host.ts` (`useStartHost`/`useStartHosts`: one host per file and options, taken before the file's tests and given back after them).
 - Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). Nothing evaluates client code in Node (no module linker or renderer stand-ins). A built server bundle is run as a host runs it: imported by Node and served over HTTP (start-plugin-core `tests/integration/start-compose-app.ts`). A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.
 - What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). `runInPage` returns only once the run's page left the run's document: what the dev server sends after the run (a full reload after the test's edit) reaches no page a later run gets.
-- Tests never write into the repository. An app is a temporary directory that stands in for the directory the harness names (`dir`, a package's `tests/`): `./app-directory` mirrors the path of `dir` below the repository's root in a temporary directory, with the `node_modules` directories above `dir` linked at their mirrored places (imports resolve to the same real paths, one copy of each package), `dir`'s `tsconfig.json` and its package.json's `type` and `sideEffects`. The harnesses create their apps there (`createApp`); a test that writes an app of its own takes its directory from `createAppDirectory(dir, prefix)`, and runs a Vite server of it with `cacheDir` in the app and `server.fs.allow: await servedDirectories(root)`. A test of checked-in files (router-generator's fixtures) runs on a copy (`copyFixture`); the one file a run writes into a package is the route tree of router-generator's `nested` fixture, which its `types` project checks in place (held by Q2). A project with such apps lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/run-directory` in `globalSetup`: the run's directory (the apps, the route generator's temporary files through `TSR_TMP_DIR`), removed when the run ends.

 - Per-test resources in a helper (a leased host, a page, an app) belong to the test of `./test-scope` (`currentTest()`, `onTestFinished`), not Vitest's global `onTestFinished`: in a concurrent file the global one names the test that started last. A project that uses them lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/test-scope-setup` in `setupFiles` (it also gives each test file the process environment and working directory it started with).
 - Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`). "Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. A diagnostic is checked by its severity, the file it names and the position it reports, never by its wording (`./diagnostics` `expectDiagnostic`; ruling 2026-10-22).
   - Each channel gets its own work's output, also what a bundler's native callbacks print (Rolldown hooks, Rspack hooks): by the app root it names, or as the only work open; otherwise every open channel gets it, marked `shared`. A compilation's report is recorded once, from the compilation, not again from Rsbuild's logger. The Rsbuild hosts stay quiet in the terminal and the page (`logLevel` and `dev.client.logLevel` `silent`); never raise them to see Rsbuild's output.
@@ -43,12 +43,11 @@ The compiler test corpus is an oracle: a compiler that passes every corpus test
 
 - The corpus runs real tools and asserts observable outcomes only, entering the compilers through public entry points. There is no lane for tests of today's implementation (internal functions, printed bytes, log policy, perf counters) and no tests of a compiler package's own test helpers: such tests are deleted, not moved (rulings 2026-10-22). This package's own tests are controls of the shared harness.
 - **Selection** (router-plugin, start-plugin-core, router-generator: Vitest projects in `vite.config.ts`):
-  - `test:unit` (project `unit`, plus `types` in router-generator) and `test:integration` (project `integration`, plus `integration-pages` in router-plugin and start-plugin-core) select the corpus: every test file except main's noncompiler tests (below).
+  - `test:unit` (project `unit`) and `test:integration` (project `integration`, plus `integration-pages` in router-plugin and start-plugin-core) select the corpus: every test file except main's noncompiler tests (below).
   - `integration-pages` (files under `tests/integration/pages/`) is slow-tier acceptance like `integration`: page tests of the fast tier's kind (router-plugin route apps, start-plugin-core `<Hydrate>` and import forms) whose cost does not fit the fast tier's budget. Its tests run concurrently within a file (`sequence.concurrent`): each holds its own leased host (router-plugin `route-app.ts`) or its own pages of the file's host (start-plugin-core `start-host.ts`). router-plugin's `unit` runs the same way.
   - The projects with browser pages and the `integration` projects of router-plugin and start-plugin-core keep modules across the test files of a worker (`isolate: false`): the browser, and hosts a file gives back, serve later files. A file must leave nothing behind but what the harness owns (it gets its environment back from the setup file).
 - **Main's own tests.** The corpus is the compilers' test suite. Main's tests of features that are not compilers (start-plugin-core: Start manifest, sitemap, prerender, CSRF config, schema, entry planning, post-build, output directory, watch-ignored, `createVirtualModule`, dev styles, utils; react-start-rsc: the RSC runtime components, streams, `createRscProxy` and the type tests) stay at main's paths with main's content, untouched: each package lists them in `tests/noncompiler-tests.json`, which its `noncompiler` Vitest project selects (`test:noncompiler`) and the corpus projects and (start-plugin-core) ESLint leave out. Root `test:pr`/`test:ci`, root `pnpm test` and compiler-platform CI run the lane. Do not edit these files for the oracle; a new noncompiler test of main's kind goes next to them and into the list. Main's tests of today's compiler internals (internal functions called directly, exact output text and snapshots, internal classes) are deleted: the corpus covers their behaviour through public entry points. RSC compiler acceptance currently lives entirely in integration.
 - Budgets (`test-budgets.json`) cover the corpus tiers; the noncompiler projects have none.
-- A test that decides a user-visible outcome through an internal entry point (e.g. the emitted `handleRouteUpdate` driven by a live router, held by ruling Q5) stays in the corpus, labelled in its header, until it is rerouted through a public entry point.

+### NEW-2: parentheses around components (2026-10-23)
+
+Ruled by the user: redundant parentheses around a component-defining expression are not free if they break React
+Fast Refresh; they are judged by the outcome. SWC's refresh transform (Rsbuild) does not register
+`const Page = (() => …)`, so a compiler that prints such parentheses in a route chunk loses the component's state on
+the next edit. No test reads the printed parentheses: the route-HMR rows of a real page on Rsbuild and Vite edit a
+split route component and require its state kept (router-plugin `integration/route-hmr-browser.test.ts`, "%s: a
+React app" > "with autoCodeSplitting: %s" > "shows an edited route component in place with its state, …", the
+"an arrow function component" route). A printer that wraps function initialisers in parentheses fails the Rsbuild
+rows (split and unsplit) and passes the Vite ones. Found by the repair's printing restructure (R4). Clauses: §5.5,
+J3.2.

 Rsbuild). Clause: J2.15.
 
+### Q1: no fake filesystem in the generator tests (2026-10-23)
+
+The user agrees: the router-generator tests that inject an `fs` into the generator (`concurrent-write.test.ts`: an
+editor save landing between the generator's read and its write, a reader during the publications, a disk-full write
+and a failing rename) are deleted. Their save-safety behaviour has no replacement: real files cannot put a save or a
+reader into that window deterministically through a public API (the generator's own steps between the read and the
+rename are not observable from outside; a watcher of `tmpDir` or a timed save races them), so SPEC §9 lists it as not
+checked. The K-19 pin keeps its real-file part: `tmpDir` on another filesystem (shared memory, `/dev/shm`) than the
+app, and the route file and the route tree are replaced by a rename (a new inode); a host without such a second
+filesystem skips it (`router-generator/tests/generator-options.test.ts`, "tmpDir"). Clauses: J1.6, J1.10, J1.16.
+
+### Q2: file route types through router-core (2026-10-23)
+
+The user notes that the generated `FileRouteTypes` type is used internally: router-core reads
+`routeTree['types']['fileRouteTypes']` through its exported `InferFileRouteTypes` (with a fallback when it is
+`never`). The contract is that the generated tree carries file route types router-core can infer, not the generated
+file's local interface name (§5.1). The `nested` type tests check `InferFileRouteTypes<typeof routeTree>`: not
+`never`, and its full paths, `to` and ids. They run on a copy of the fixture where the tree is generated
+(`router-generator/tests/integration/fixture-types-nested.test.ts`), so no test writes into the package anymore.
+Clauses: J1.13, §5.1.
+
+### Q5: an update the router on the page does not have (2026-10-23)
+
+The user: "you decide". Decided: a hot update reaches a route the router on the page does not have when the page
+has a second router created after the app's (router-core assigns `window.__TSR_ROUTER__` to the last router created;
+Vite's route HMR code updates that one). Deleting a route file does not reach it: the route tree changes, and the page
+reloads with the new tree (tried: delete then re-create, visited or not). The private-updater test
+(`router-plugin/tests/handle-route-update.test.ts`, jsdom) is deleted; a real page row replaces it: Vite and Rsbuild,
+an app that creates a second, code-based router after its own, an edit of a route component shows in place, the app
+still navigates, no error (`router-plugin/tests/integration/route-hmr-browser-updates.test.ts`, "an edit while the
+page has a second router created after the app's keeps the app working"). Whether such an edit also reaches the
+app's router is not required. Clauses: J3.11, §8.
+
+### Q8: one router plugin per app (2026-10-23)
+
+The user: "we do not support registering multiple times the plugin. Sharing context is an optimization the
+implementer might or might not decide to do, so we should probably not assert it." Deleted: router-plugin
+`integration/pages/router-plugin-context.test.ts` "keeps two router plugins of one dev server to their own route
+files" and `plugin-options.test.ts` "two code splitters scoped to the client and SSR environments of one dev server
+…" (a hand-built Start composition sharing `createRouterPluginContext()`). The rest of that file, one router plugin
+per dev server, is `integration/pages/code-splitter-edits.test.ts`. Start's client and SSR splitting through the
+public Start plugin stays covered by start-plugin-core (`integration/start-router-dev-server.test.ts`,
+`integration/hydrate-dev.test.ts`, `integration/start-build-options.test.ts` "router.codeSplittingOptions: the
+client and SSR builds load the route loader and component $name"). Clauses: §2.2, §5.20.
+
+### Q9: `tsr.config.json` edits (2026-10-23)
+
+The user: "it's ok to not expect a change in config file to act immediately." The pin "a tsr.config.json edit
+generates the route tree with the new configuration" is deleted; the row where the next route file edit generates
+the route tree with the new configuration stays (router-plugin `known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`). Clause: J1.10.

Subject: [PATCH 0818/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): oracle README status
 after the rulings of 2026-10-23

Re-measured at c2161c4d14 (both rulings branches merged): counts (start-plugin-core
integration 1205 / 294, react-start-rsc integration 108 / 14), no #34 hit in 65
beetle jobs, R2 clean, the greens, the 17 reds the rulings touched, the sweep.
The #34 caveat goes; the Chromium shared-memory exhaustion (FINAL-PASS #40) is

Subject: [PATCH 0819/1425] test(router-generator): apply ruling Q10, import
 statements are the generator's to edit

The user, on whether the generator may touch other import statements when it
adds a missing route constructor import: "I don't think we should specify
that. Let it." expectOnlyOwnedEdits no longer caps how many router package
imports change, nor keeps any import statement byte for byte. It still
checks the outcome: everything outside the import statements keeps its
bytes, and the imports bind the same names (imported and local name, source,
type/value meaning, attributes; side-effect imports stay), apart from the
route constructor's own binding.

Validated with a correct generator variant (temporary) that reprints every
import and merges same-source imports: the old helper failed 4 rows, the new
one passes. Records the ruling in RULINGS, SPEC J1.2 and the README (no
ruling pending).

Subject: [PATCH 0820/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): cap the compiler test
 runs at 4 Vitest workers

The five compiler test packages (compiler-test-utils, router-generator,
router-plugin, start-plugin-core, react-start-rsc) now set
`test.maxWorkers: 4`; every project inherits it (`extends: true`), and
`--maxWorkers=<n>` or `VITEST_MAX_WORKERS` still override it.

Each worker runs real bundlers, dev servers and its own Chromium, and Nx
runs 5 tiers at once: at Vitest's default (cores - 1 = 15) the default
whole-set command started 54 workers and about 270 Chromium processes,
needed more than 27 GB and failed (78 failures, 35-53 GB of swap written;
PERF-STUDY 2026-10-23).

Measured locally (16 cores, 27 GB), `nx run-many -t
test:unit,test:integration,test:noncompiler -p <the five> --skip-nx-cache
--excludeTaskDependencies`, no flags: 166.5 s wall, 1,591 CPU-s, all 12
tasks pass, peak PSS 18.8 GB, 8.5 GB swapped out, at most 21 workers and
90 Chromium processes.

The compiler-test AGENTS.md no longer tells people to pass
`--maxWorkers=4`: the budgets are measured at the configs' default.

 - Never put `|` inside a `-t` filter: Nx passes the arguments through a shell, so it becomes a pipe and orphans Vitest workers. Run one command per filter.

Subject: [PATCH 0821/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): read each source's names
 once per dangling-name check

The attribution of a dangling name read every module holding the name again
for each candidate name (2,961 reads of 230 distinct sources in router-plugin
test:integration). The reads are memoized per build: the same sources give the
same names, so the decisions are unchanged.

expectLoadedOnNavigation checks the page's scripts before and after the

Subject: [PATCH 0823/1425] chore(deps): update exsolve to 1.1.3 (within
 ^1.1.1)

start-plugin-core resolves Start's entries and, in Rsbuild's import
protection, extensionless absolute ids with exsolve's
`resolveModulePath(..., { try: true })`. exsolve caches every failed
lookup as an `Error` in its process-wide `globalThis.__EXSOLVE_CACHE__`.
In 1.1.1 the error's not-yet-formatted stack keeps its call sites alive,
and with them the Rsbuild transform closure of that build: its `compilers`
map, every `StartCompiler` (Babel ASTs in `moduleCache`) and the Rspack
compilation. exsolve 1.1.3 (#63, "Don't keep callers alive through
cached errors"; 1.1.2 shipped without a rebuilt dist) reads `error.stack`
before caching the error, so only the formatted string is kept.

Measured on this machine (heap snapshots, V8 ephemeron-aware
reachability), 25 Start Rsbuild production builds in one process, each in
a fresh app directory, forced GC:
- 1.1.1: 50 `StartCompiler` objects alive (all builds), heap 426 MB,
  RSS 2.3 GB; 75 cached errors.
- 1.1.3: 2 alive (the build still in scope), heap 175 MB, RSS 1.7 GB;
  the same 75 cached errors retain no compiler.

start-plugin-core `test:integration`, 4 workers, same session (the
PERF-STUDY method: resource-profile sampler + tool hook):
- 1.1.1: peak PSS 17.3 GB, top worker 4.49 GB, 96.3 s, all pass.
- 1.1.3: peak PSS 13.0 GB, top worker 3.21 GB, 93.7 s, all pass.
(PERF-STUDY: 17.1 / 4.46 GB; its `cache: false` prototype 13.1 / 3.6.)

Only the lockfile changes (`pnpm update exsolve --recursive --no-save`):
exsolve 1.1.1 -> 1.1.3 for start-plugin-core, c12, env-runner and
pkg-types. exsolve's negative cache itself is unchanged: a Start entry
added after a failed lookup stays unresolved until the process restarts
(reproduced with 1.1.1 and 1.1.3; not addressed here).

Subject: [PATCH 0825/1425] test(start-plugin-core): accept either onViolation
 trace direction and an absent resolved path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The outcomes audit (B) found import-protection rows that a correct compiler
fails: a trace listed entry last (allowed by J6.5 and ruling "restructured
compilers", R10) and a specifier violation without `resolved` (optional,
J6.5, §5.14). `traceFromEntry` orients a trace from the entry to the
importer for every reader (`violationsOf`, build-markers' blamed importer);
`resolved` is checked only when given.

Subject: [PATCH 0826/1425] test(start-plugin-core): stop pinning a correct
 compiler's free choices in middleware, directive and RPC rows
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Client middleware: check `type` and that no server implementation or
  validator ships (`clientMiddlewareOf`), not the whole `.options` object:
  extra fields are allowed (user ruling 2026-10-24, §5.19; Q3 is about stubs).
- Module directives: each user directive is kept; another one is not
  forbidden (G12).
- Dev server fns: checked through the public `url` and the request sent,
  not `serverFnMeta.id` or a RegExp built from the dev id (J4.4, §5.19).

Subject: [PATCH 0827/1425] test(start-plugin-core): apply the user rulings of
 2026-10-24

- Mock access diagnostics: one row checks that calling a mocked import is
  reported per mockAccess; the rows pinning string conversion, toString(),
  new and property writes are deleted.
- Hydrate chunk directives: a client-only split chunk need not repeat
  'use client'; the parent keeps its directives.
- Child-only module evaluation: a module only <Hydrate> children import is
  not downloaded early (now checked for both boundaries); when its top-level
  code runs is not checked.
- SSR route splitting: not required; the client placement is checked and
  both builds still run the loader and render the page.

RULINGS: client middleware options, mock access diagnostics, Hydrate chunk
directives, child-only module evaluation, SSR route splitting, and the
clause readings applied without a new ruling; Q3 and Q8 updated. SPEC:
J4.8 (extra fields), J4.17, J5.6, J5.9, J6.3, §5.3 (SSR splitting a goal, not
a gate), §5.18, §8.

+### rulings of 2026-10-24 (outcomes audit B)
+
+The second outcomes audit (validation `AUDIT-OUTCOMES-B.md`) found tests that pin a correct compiler's free choices.
+The user: tests must be sensible, not paranoid; the implementer may adjust a test that pins an incidental detail.
+Message wording, exact positions and columns, which line of a construct an error points at, and generated or
+internal type names are left as they are; so are the pins whose inputs reuse today's generated names
+("restructured compilers", R3) and the choice between an error and a warning ("depends on each case").
+
+#### client middleware options
+
+User: extra fields (e.g. metadata) on a client middleware's `.options` are allowed; Q3 forbids shipping server
+code or stubs, not other fields. The client rows check `type`, and that no server implementation or validator ships
+(`server`, `validator` absent: `page-values.ts` `clientMiddlewareOf`), never the whole `.options` object.
+Clauses: J4.8, §5.19.
+
+#### mock access diagnostics
+
+User (agreed to the recommendation): the required, documented behaviour is a warning in dev at import time naming
+the file, a mock that never crashes and leaks nothing, and builds that fail by default. The runtime "a mock was
+used" diagnostic (`mockAccess`, undocumented) is left to the implementer: one row checks that calling a mocked
+import is reported with the severity `mockAccess` gives (and nothing with `off`); which other uses count (a
+conversion to a string, `toString()`, `new`, a property write) is not checked
+(`integration/importProtection/mock-access.test.ts`). Clauses: J6.3, §5.18.
+
+#### Hydrate chunk directives
+
+`'use client'` need not be copied into a client-only `<Hydrate>` split chunk: it has no effect in a chunk only the
+client loads. The parent module keeps its directives (J4.17). Clauses: G12, J5.9.
+
+#### child-only module evaluation
+
+A module only `<Hydrate>` children import is not downloaded before its boundary needs it (the page's scripts hold
+none of its code); when its top-level code runs is not checked (`integration/hydrate-dev-edits.ts`). Clauses: G3,
+J5.6.
+
+#### SSR route splitting
+
+User: SSR splitting is "not required, but to be fully optimized even the server code should load as little code as
+possible, so eventually an optimization will have to be made." The SSR build must render correctly; whether it splits
+route options like the client is not checked (`integration/start-build-options.test.ts`). Clauses: R2, G2, §5.3.
+
+#### reading the existing clauses
+
+Applied without a new ruling: an `onViolation` trace may list the entry first or last ("restructured compilers",
+R10; `importProtection/start-apps.ts` `traceFromEntry`); `resolved` is optional for a specifier violation and is
+checked only when given (J6.5, §5.14); a module's directives are each kept, other directives are not forbidden
+(G12); a client server fn is checked through its public `url`, not `serverFnMeta` or its dev id (J4.4, §5.19).

Subject: [PATCH 0829/1425] test(router-generator): accept blank lines a
 removed import leaves; vary every listing API

- owned-edits.ts (audit V3): blank lines next to lines holding only import
  statements, or at the start of the file, are not compared: a generator
  that deletes exactly an import statement keeps every byte outside it
  (J1.2, ruling Q10).
- determinism-app.ts (vacuous check): withListingOrder permutes
  fs.promises.readdir, fs.readdir and fs.readdirSync, and fails when the
  generation listed no directory through them.

Subject: [PATCH 0830/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): check what a compiler's
 virtual modules do

Vacuous checks of the outcomes-only audit, harness side:
- strict-runner.ts: the named-import check also covers virtual modules an
  app module imports (a compiler's support module), with a contract test.
- build-harness.ts: MODULE_LEVEL_DIRECTIVE warnings of virtual modules are
  kept (only linked files outside the app root are silenced).
- dev-server.ts: payloads sent on the server's WebSocket channel are
  recorded too, where it is not the client environment's.

Subject: [PATCH 0831/1425] test(router-plugin): compare dev-server route files
 outside their imports
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- generator-dev-app.ts expectRouteFile (audit V1): the import statements
  are compared by what they bind, the rest of the file byte for byte
  (ruling Q10), with the blank lines a removed import leaves.
- R5: on Vite, errors() counts what the dev server logged after the last
  edit settled (SPEC §8: the state after the last write), as on Rsbuild.
- Vacuous checks: the generator-watching pins wait as long as the passing
  scenarios do; the "generator stops with the server" check watches at
  least three times as long as the running generator took to react.

Subject: [PATCH 0832/1425] test(router-plugin): build entries import Route,
 not every export

Audit V9: the default build entries re-exported the whole route module
(`export *`), so an export a compiler adds (allowed, ruling P1) shipped.
They now import `Route`, as an app's route tree does; tests that need
another export re-export it by name. The Vite "without code splitting has
no dev-only code" React pin passes with such an entry (the refresh export
the HMR compile adds is not imported by the app) and becomes a passing row;
its KNOWN-BUGS entry goes. Also (vacuous checks) the symlink pin recognises a
refusal by the route file it names (`mentionsFile`), and the production
warning pin counts any page log of the production bundle.

Subject: [PATCH 0833/1425] test(router-plugin): judge split modules by what
 the route loads and ships

- Pipeline (audit V6, V7, V8): no test imports an emitted module by its id
  with a cache-busting query (Vite strips it from file ids; real requests
  with it are covered by the edit tests); module labels do not depend on
  request order; the directive check uses a unique marker and string
  values skip module specifiers.
- groups() (ruling 2026-10-24, R2): a module that only imports and
  re-exports does not split a group; a new file of the app does.
- Unused code (ruling 2026-10-24, R10): the dead-code page tests check the
  production bundle (RouteApp.production(), markers) instead of import
  specifiers of emitted modules.
- Vacuous checks: requested() lists app modules by path; servedImports
  includes literal dynamic imports; readsImport sees default, namespace
  and re-exported bindings; the bindings pin uses servedImports; servedGraph
  follows virtual modules.
- R15: page tests that require no errors count uncaught ones only.

Subject: [PATCH 0834/1425] test(router-plugin): route HMR checks follow the
 2026-10-24 rulings

- V10: the source-map test finds the user's throw by its marker literal.
- V13 / ruling: a hot edit runs each changed loader at least once (not
  exactly once); the obsolete loader still must not run again.
- R6 / ruling: an edit adding sibling options before an inline component
  must show in place; its state need not survive.
- Vacuous checks: the "no route HMR code in SSR" check recognises the hot
  API in either member spelling and needs the client to have it; the app's
  deliberate "loader failed" error is told from reports quoting it
  (isAppError); the HMR pins use the default bounds.
- R20: process output outside an app's context counts for an app when no
  other app was open.

Subject: [PATCH 0835/1425] test(router-plugin): read routes through the
 router, not generated options

- R17: split-mode-parity and the page-code / property-write entries find
  routes by their public `id` / `fullPath` (a router over the route tree),
  not by the `id` / `path` options the generator writes.
- R18: the whitespace precondition accepts any quote around the path.
- Vacuous check: the split-id directory pin reads directory-safe parts of
  the split ids and reports itself (passes) when it has nothing to probe.

+### loaders after a hot edit (2026-10-24)
+
+The user: a hot edit must run each changed loader at least once and the page show the new data, not exactly once.
+Tests check that the page shows the new loader's data and that the new loader ran (`>= 1`); an obsolete loader the
+edit replaced or removed still must not run again (`router-plugin/tests/integration/route-hmr-browser-updates.test.ts`).
+Clauses: J3.1, J3.3.
+
+### sibling options next to an inline component (2026-10-24)
+
+The user: adding sibling route options next to an inline component may remount it. The edit that adds a
+`pendingComponent` and an `errorComponent` before an inline `component` must show in place (no full reload); keeping
+the component's state is not required (`router-plugin/tests/integration/route-hmr-browser-options.test.ts`, "an edit
+that adds component options before an inline component shows in place"). Clause: J3.2.
+
+### split groups and forwarding modules (2026-10-24)
+
+The user: small forwarding modules are acceptable (not ideal: bytes). Two options share a group when, once one of
+them loaded, loading the other fetches no new module holding user code: no file of the app, and no compiled module
+but one that only imports and re-exports (`router-plugin/tests/route-app.ts` `groups()`). A per-option module that
+only forwards to the group's module does not split the group. Clauses: J2.2, §5.3.
+
+### unused code is judged after the bundler (2026-10-24)
+
+The user: what matters is the code after the bundler's production tree-shaking. A test checks that unused code is
+gone from the production bundle (value reads, user markers), not the import specifiers of a module the compiler
+emits: an unused specifier is dropped by the bundler (`router-plugin/tests/served-code.ts` `readsImport`, used by
+`integration/pages/code-splitter-dead-code.test.ts`). Goals, not gates: a split chunk holds only what its option
+uses, and options import shared pieces directly from a shared module. Clauses: J2.5, §5.9.
+
+### route tree quoteStyle and semicolons (2026-10-24)
+
+The docs promise that the generated route tree is "formatted with the quote style you specify"
+(`docs/router/api/file-based-routing.md`), so `quoteStyle` and `semicolons` are among the options the route tree
+honours (J1.4), next to `routeTreeFileHeader/Footer`; §5.5 frees printing everywhere else. Checked by

Subject: [PATCH 0837/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): drop build-harness
 options and evidence nothing reads

jsxImportSource (always react), DescribeBuildInput.minify (never read),
ParsedModules.resourceById (written, never read), the unreachable
no-evidence branch of countsAsDangling; webpack and Rspack builds create
their compiler and read their stats in one place.

expectSourceError (the integration one is the one in use), the unused
re-exports of regression-helpers, StartHostBuild, expectNoPageErrors,
and the function form of StartHostOptions.plugins.

Subject: [PATCH 0839/1425] test(compiler-tests): share the plugin-name,
 Start-runtime-link and RSC-package helpers

pluginNames (ctu build-harness) replaces five copies of the same
plugin-name scan in router-plugin, start-plugin-core and react-start-rsc;
startRuntimeLinks(framework) carries the Solid links the three Start
harnesses each added; the RSC apps load Start's plugin through
start-plugins and Vite's RSC plugin through one rscPluginFactory.
startRsbuildDevServer loses its never-passed generateFunctionId, and
startRscProtectedDevServer its never-passed importProtection and router.

Subject: [PATCH 0841/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): drop host and dev-server
 options nobody passes

The plugin hosts' settleTimeout/eventTimeout/compileTimeout, build({ mode })
and describe(env, { env, entry }); the Vite dev server's eventTimeout (now
the constant it always was) and its copy of stripAnsi.

(and both HMR pages count requests with hmr-sync's trackRequests instead
of a copy of it); generator-dev-scenarios: the pinVirtualConfigEdits
branch both callers turn off, and the never-passed bounds;
generator-dev-app: bundler, logs() and close(); route-app:
plugins.compilers; build-harness: extraPlugins and buildAndRun's
sideEffects; dev-server: the function form of plugins.

-# Rulings behind the oracle
-
-The maintainers' decisions that shaped [SPEC.md](./SPEC.md). Each entry says what was decided, why, and which
-clauses it affects. The spec cites them as `[ruling: <name>]`; tests cite the short ids (D5, P1, L3, …). Where
-a ruling and an older test comment disagree, the ruling wins.
-
-## Scope and method
-
-### first review rulings
-
-- A test that asserts a current limitation as if it were the goal is split in two: a loosened regression test
-  (correct output, user informed when not split) and a `.fails` goal pin (see "limitation tests").
-- Goal tests sit where the outcome is decided. The compiler decides semantics, identity, validity, absent server
-  code and warnings; the bundler decides final chunk placement and dead-code elimination, which therefore are
-  build-level assertions per bundler, with `sideEffects` and `@__PURE__` hints varied.
-- Some exports genuinely prevent splitting (eagerly imported elsewhere, or a side-effectful initialiser without a
-  purity hint). Expected outcome: correct, one instance, user informed.
-- Method shorthand (`component() {…}`) is splittable and refreshable like any option.
-- Spread and computed option keys are best effort; the fallback must be safe (never prune a route or skip it for
-  prerendering because a key was missed).
-- Initialiser timing is not pinned: tests check run-once and the same value everywhere.
-
-Why: the suite must accept every correct implementation. Clauses: G2, G3, J1.9, J2.4, J2.8, J2.9, §8.
-
-### limitation tests
-
-When the user can fix a pattern, the tool warns. When the obstacle is our own analysis, that is a bug: a `.fails`
-goal pin, plus a passing loosened test for the safe fallback. Best-effort cases get only the loosened test. Clauses:
-G5, §8.
-
-### generated names
-
-Generated identifiers (`TSRComponent`, `fn_createServerFn_handler`, `__tss_deny_0`, …), virtual-module ids and
-query strings are a black box. No test may depend on them. Clauses: G9, §5.1, §5.3.
-
-### P1: route module exports
-
-Neither "exports unchanged" nor "extra exports allowed" is the spec. A compiler may add exports, and may remove
-exports nothing imports. Every export that something actually imports (another module, a test file, another route)
-keeps working, with the same value and instance the route itself uses. Tests assert through a real importer, never
-on the export list. Clauses: G9, J2.4, J4.13.
-
-### P2: SSR handler placement
-
-Only the client must be free of server-function handler code. When SSR runs in the same environment as the
-server-function provider, keeping the handler in place or extracting it are both allowed. SSR tests assert
-behaviour only (calls run the handler, top-level code runs once, HTTP calls by id work). Clauses: J4.3, §5.4.
-
-### real tools only
-
-Test infrastructure never re-implements another tool. Tests of what a bundler, framework or HMR runtime decides
-drive the real tools (real dev servers with the real framework plugins, the real HMR client, real `react-dom`,
-Solid and Vue runtimes, real production builds) and observe outcomes. Thin glue only at unavoidable boundaries,
-each with its own contract test. Why: a copy of Vite or React Refresh logic tests the copy, not the compiler.
-Clause: §8.
-
-### runtime bugs
-
-A corpus pin must have its cause in a compiler: the J1–J7 sources or their bundler integrations. A pin whose cause
-is a runtime package (for example a hydration boundary in `react-start-client`) is deleted from the corpus. Babel
-(`@babel/generator`), babel-dead-code-elimination and unplugin count as the current compilers' implementation
-choices: a rewrite that drops them passes those pins, so they stay. Clauses: §1.2, §8.
-
-### valid alternative compilers
-
-Adversarial "correct but different" compilers showed tests that were too strict. Each of these is valid and must
-pass:
-
-- a diagnostic naming the file for a template-literal route id, instead of a rewrite (J1.1);
-- keeping a factory import the edit made unused (J1.2);
-- no warning about unusual but valid param names (J1.12);
-- minimal code-frame context: tests prove the original source with a token on the reported line itself (§5.7, §8).
-
-### dangling names
-
-A compiled module may reference an undefined name inside code that never runs, if every supported bundler deletes
-that code in the production build. A dangling name that survives into a production client bundle is a bug. The
-check runs on the real production output per bundler. It covers exactly the modules the compilers under test
-produced or changed (user and route modules after our transforms, split chunks, virtual and support modules,
-dependency modules our plugins transformed). Inside that scope every free name counts, unless the module's original
-source already reads it free. Modules no compiler touched are out of scope: Rspack and webpack drop some bindings
-in unminified dead code of untouched dependencies (see KNOWN-BUGS.md, upstream issues), and that is not a compiler
-defect. Clause: G8.
-
-### diagnostic severity
-
-§5.7 frees the channel and the wording of a diagnostic, not its severity. Where the spec says "warn", the
-diagnostic must be at least a warning: a warning, or an error where the clause allows refusal. An info or log line
-does not satisfy it. Where the spec says the build fails, it must fail. The shared matchers
-(`compiler-test-utils/src/diagnostics.ts`, `DiagnosticExpectation.severity`) accept a warning or an error unless a
-test asks for less, and read the severity of every channel, in dev and in builds. A clause that says "warn" and
-allows no refusal asks for `'warning'`; an option that asks for a warning explicitly (`mockAccess: 'warn'`) is
-checked at that severity. Clauses: G5, §5.7.
-
-### diagnostics: file and position only
-
-2026-10-22, user: "We should just test the minimum ('file + position' could be enough). Testing more than that,
-once the error message is actually implemented, will be equivalent to testing '1 = 1'." An English word list to
-judge a message "seems like an incredibly bad idea". A diagnostic is checked only for: being reported (as an error
-or a warning, at the severity the spec gives where a test needs it), on a channel the user sees, naming the file
-(absolute or project-relative) and the position (`line:column`, or the line). The build fails / does not fail and
-a warning is / is not emitted stay outcomes. Nothing else of the message is checked: no API or option names, no
-cause or guidance, no environment phrase, no code-frame layout. The environment-misuse runtime error (J4.10) is
-checked by the call throwing. This replaces the former "explaining a diagnostic" ruling (`explains`) and the "API
-or option named" half of D14. Clauses: G5, J2.8, J2.19, J4.10, J6.5, J6.12, §5.7.
-
-### import-protection reports through `onViolation`
-
-2026-10-22, user: "read the callback, delete the parser". Which violations import protection reports, where (the
-importer's file and location) and with which chain are read from Start's public `onViolation` callback
-(`tanstackStart({ importProtection: { onViolation } })`, guide/import-protection.md), never parsed from the
-printed report. The printed report is checked only for the file and position it names (above): each violation
-`onViolation` received is printed, as a warning or an error naming its importer, and `log` is judged on the printed
-warnings. Clauses: J6.3, J6.5, J6.6, J6.12.
-
-### no import gate
-
-2026-10-22, user: "delete it". The static import gate (`test:import-gate:strict`) is deleted, with no
-replacement; acceptance tests keep reaching the compilers through public entry points by review. Clause: §8.
-
-### oracle tests only (2026-10-22)
-
-The suite holds acceptance tests only: real tools, observable outcomes, public entry points. Tests of test helpers,
-tests of today's compiler internals and the branch's own tests of non-compiler behaviour are deleted, not kept in a
-separate lane; there is no `test:implementation` target. Main's tests of features that are not compilers stay at
-main's paths with main's content (`test:noncompiler`, listed in each package's `tests/noncompiler-tests.json`);
-main's tests of compiler internals are deleted. Bugs pinned only by deleted tests are recorded outside the
-repository, not in KNOWN-BUGS. Clause: §8.
-
-### restructured compilers
-
-A correct compiler built differently from today's must pass every acceptance test. The repair measured this with
-behaviour-preserving restructures of today's compilers (R1–R11: moved modules, renamed generated names, reworded
-diagnostics, another printer, another provider architecture, other chunk layouts, extra exports, …). Rulings on
-what those restructures may do:
-
-- Extra exports of compiler packages (R7) and extra metadata on runtime objects (R8: `name`/`filename` on SSR
-  client middleware, §5.19) are allowed.
-- Import-protection traces may list the entry last (R10). J6.5 asks for a real bounded chain from an entry and J6.12
-  leaves the display free: the entry must be identifiable (by position or marker) and the direction unambiguous.
-  Tests must not require entry-first numbering or an `(entry)` marker.
-- Pins whose inputs choose names that collide with today's generated names flip when a compiler generates other
-  names (R3). That is expected (the inputs are valid); the adaptive pins next to them, which read the names a
-  compiler actually generates, are the structure-free checks.
-
-Clauses: §5.1, §5.19, J6.5, J6.12, §8.
-
-### test budgets
-
-Budgets serve local iteration, not CI: the hard limits are local runs at 4 workers (fast tier, slow tier per
-package, 15 s per slow-tier file, edit to result for one fast-tier file); CI times are reported only. A tier over
-budget is fixed, not re-budgeted: one shared host per worker, bounded browser pages, and browser-heavy files moved
-to the slow tier's `integration-pages` project. No Nx target splits or sharding to meet a number. Clause: §8.
-
-Memory against speed (#57, 2026-10-23): start-plugin-core's integration workers keep modules across test files
-(`isolate: false`, about 4.4 GB per worker at peak), which keeps the tier within its 90 s limit (about 93 s without).
-Accepted for now ("ok for now, though when we get to the end, we'll have to have a look at memory and speed."), to be
-revisited at the end of the oracle work.
-
-### D4: no compile-speed benchmark
-
-No compiler benchmark or performance test is part of the oracle for now. Clause: §1.2.
-
-### D14: warning wording
-
-Warning and error wording is free. Since 2026-10-22 ("diagnostics: file and position only") a test checks only
-the file and the position a diagnostic names. Clauses: G5, J2.19, §5.7.
-
-### file names in diagnostics
-
-File names may be absolute or project-relative, if unambiguous. A bare basename that is only a suffix of the
-project-relative path (`other.ts` for `src/other.ts`) does not name the file. The shared diagnostics check
-(`mentionsFile`) follows this rule: the absolute path, or the project-relative path as a whole path. Clause: §5.7.
-
-### user-added environments
-
-Import protection in environments the user adds outside Start is undefined behaviour: no test either way. If a
-choice is ever forced, lean "left alone". Clauses: §2.2, §1.3.
-
-### recompiling Start output
-
-Compiling Start output a second time (the plugin registered twice, a dependency shipping Start-compiled output) is
-not supported; even an internal error is fine. No test. Clauses: §2.2, G14, §5.16.
-
-### prerender discovery
-
-Prerender discovery and SPA-mode prerendering are out of scope. Only the safety rule stays: never skip a route
-because a key was missed (J1.9). Clause: §1.2.
-
-### unknown template tag
-
-An unknown `%%tag%%` in a custom scaffolding template becomes an empty string. Fine, no test. Clause: §2.2.
-
-### D1: published client source maps
-
-A client source map's `sourcesContent` holds the whole original file, including server code the JavaScript dropped.
-Out of scope: a known limitation, no test (the production checklist in the docs mentions it). Clauses: §1.2, G6.
-
-### D3: bundler scope
-
-webpack should work but is low priority; it is in the matrix. esbuild: no work; the only requirement is "works or
-refuses clearly". Clauses: §1.3, J2.18, C12.
-
-### sensible, not paranoid (2026-10-24)
-
-The user, on the outcomes-only audit: tests must be sensible, not paranoid. The implementer is smart and may adjust
-a test that pins an incidental detail, so a test does not over-specify. Left as they are: the diagnostic details the
-audit listed (message wording, which channel an error is printed on, exact positions inside a construct; see
-"diagnostics: file and position only") and the generated file's own type names such as `FileRoutesByTo`. What a
-test must not do is constrain a correct compiler's design (output shape, module layout, order), depend on harness
-details a correct compiler changes, contradict a ruling, or pass without checking anything (a check that filters
-on something asserts that it found it). Clauses: §5, §8.
-
-## Router (J1–J3)
-
-### one route per file
-
-File-based and virtual routing: one route per module, exported as `Route`. A file route module that also creates
-another route object is not supported (no split or HMR requirement); two `createFileRoute` calls in one module
-must never fail silently. Code-based routes are split by hand with `.lazy()`; the router-plugin compilers never
-see them. Why: the docs show nothing else, and real projects do not do it. Clauses: §1.2, §2.1, §2.2, J2.1, J2.11.
-
-### R-09: a route created inside a function of the same file
-
-Unsupported but user-fixable. A correct split (renders, hot-updates) and "unsplit plus a warning naming the file"
-both pass, in every mode. Crashes and rendering the wrong component are bugs. Clauses: §2.2, J2.10.
-
-### route options from a function call
-
-`createFileRoute('/')(makeOptions(…))` may reload the whole page on every dev edit; the edit must take effect.
-Clauses: §2.2, J2.8, J3.3.
-
-### D5: a split chunk holds only what it needs
-
-A split chunk contains only what its option needs (unused exported functions and classes copied into every chunk
-are a bug). The compiler decides this, so compiler-level checks are allowed, plus a build-level check. Clauses:
-J2.5, §5.3.
-
-### D9: deprecated `assert` import attributes
-
-Keep supporting `import … assert { type: 'json' }`: the import keeps working wherever it lands. The printed keyword
-(`assert` or `with`) is free, since no public host observes it (coordinator 2026-10-21). Support may be dropped once
-nobody uses it. Clause: J2.17.
-
-### D10: Solid and Vue split components across hot updates
-
-Component identity is kept, as for React. Clause: J3.2.
-
-### D11: not-split warnings
-
-Warn for anything that should have been split but was not, when the user can fix the pattern. If our analysis is
-the obstacle, it is a bug to fix (goal pin), not a warning. Clauses: G5, J2.8.
-
-### D12: root routes
-
-Root `errorComponent` and `notFoundComponent` should be split (goal pin); leaving the root unsplit is acceptable
-but not preferred. The root `component` always renders and need not be split. Clauses: J2.7, §5.10, C1.
-
-### exported Route readers
-
-A function the route module exports that reads `Route` must be one instance for importers and the route. A copy
-in a chunk is a bug, even for a stateless function. Clauses: G9, J2.4.
-
-### L3: imports used only for types
-
-A route module's import used only for types does not load its module in the client (its side effects do not
-run). The splitter decides this regardless of `verbatimModuleSyntax`. Clauses: G2, G3, J2.5.
-
-### PIN-A: pathless layout under a lazy-only route
-
-`posts.lazy.tsx` (no `posts.tsx`) plus `posts/_layout.tsx` with children: the lazy-only route's virtual anchor is
-the layout's parent. Attaching it to the next real ancestor is a bug. Clause: J1.14.
-
-### childless pathless layout
-
-`_auth.tsx` next to `index.tsx`, with no children yet, is a valid route: no error. Clause: J1.15.
-
-### K-19: `tmpDir` on another device
-
-When `tmpDir` is on another filesystem, the generator writes the temporary file beside the destination and renames
-it there. Copy-then-unlink is not acceptable (a reader can see partial content). Clause: J1.16.
-
-### .lazy.vue
-
-`x.lazy.vue` is a lazily loaded `component` piece of route `x`, not a lazy route module. An empty `.lazy.vue` is not
-scaffolded with TypeScript route code. Clauses: §2.1, J1.3, J1.17.
-
-### D-04: a JSX pragma after the imports
-
-Preserve the original file's effective JSX runtime decision: a pragma the transform ignores in the untouched file
-must not become effective in a chunk. A warning plus leaving the file unsplit also passes. Tests assert the
-rendered outcome only. Clause: J2.16.
-
-### NEW-2: parentheses around components (2026-10-23)
-
-Ruled by the user: redundant parentheses around a component-defining expression are not free if they break React
-Fast Refresh; they are judged by the outcome. SWC's refresh transform (Rsbuild) does not register
-`const Page = (() => …)`, so a compiler that prints such parentheses in a route chunk loses the component's state on
-the next edit. No test reads the printed parentheses: the route-HMR rows of a real page on Rsbuild and Vite edit a
-split route component and require its state kept (router-plugin `integration/route-hmr-browser.test.ts`, "%s: a
-React app" > "with autoCodeSplitting: %s" > "shows an edited route component in place with its state, …", the
-"an arrow function component" route). A printer that wraps function initialisers in parentheses fails the Rsbuild
-rows (split and unsplit) and passes the Vite ones. Found by the repair's printing restructure (R4). Clauses: §5.5,
-J3.2.
-
-### R-14: license comments
-
-License comments (`/*!`, `@license`, `@preserve`) stay in the source module when the splitter moves or removes the
-code below them; other orphaned comments are free. Clauses: G12, §5.5.
-
-### OQ12: license comments beyond the splitter
-
-R-14 binds the splitter only. Placement is free for the Start compiler and the import-protection rewrite. Clauses:
-G12, §6.
-
-### OQ13, OQ14, OQ15, OQ16, OQ17
-
-Ruled product questions; see SPEC §6. OQ13 (already-lazy option values: once preloaded, render requests no new
-module), OQ14 (`component: Outlet`: no requirement), OQ15 (`.inputValidator()`: types are enough), OQ16
-(third-party transforms on split chunks: out of scope for now), OQ17 (four minor items, recommendations applied).
-
-### shellComponent
-
-`shellComponent` exists only on the root route, and the root route is never split, so the HMR problem first
-reported (on a file route) is unreachable. Root edits that add, change or remove `shellComponent` hot-update.
-Clauses: §2.1, J3.5, §8 (reachability before pinning).
-
-### dev edits and full reloads
-
-Avoid full reloads wherever a hot update is feasible, on the client and the server. Tests may require "no full
-reload" there and never require one. Which in-memory state survives is the bundler's business. Clauses: G10,
-J3.6.
-
-### HMR in Start production builds
-
-Start forces `addHmr: true` for its client splitter, so there is no HMR-disabled Start build to compare with. The
-router-level paired build (same splitter, same production gating) decides "no HMR support in production". No new
-product option was added for this. Clause: J3.7.
-
-### Rsbuild route-tree parity
-
-Rsbuild must prune server-only routes from the client route tree like Vite does (a `.fails` parity pin on
-Rsbuild). Clause: J2.15.
-
-### Q1: no fake filesystem in the generator tests (2026-10-23)
-
-The user agrees: the router-generator tests that inject an `fs` into the generator (`concurrent-write.test.ts`: an
-editor save landing between the generator's read and its write, a reader during the publications, a disk-full write
-and a failing rename) are deleted. Their save-safety behaviour has no replacement: real files cannot put a save or a
-reader into that window deterministically through a public API (the generator's own steps between the read and the
-rename are not observable from outside; a watcher of `tmpDir` or a timed save races them), so SPEC §9 lists it as not
-checked. The K-19 pin keeps its real-file part: `tmpDir` on another filesystem (shared memory, `/dev/shm`) than the
-app, and the route file and the route tree are replaced by a rename (a new inode); a host without such a second
-filesystem skips it (`router-generator/tests/generator-options.test.ts`, "tmpDir"). Clauses: J1.6, J1.10, J1.16.
-
-### Q2: file route types through router-core (2026-10-23)
-
-The user notes that the generated `FileRouteTypes` type is used internally: router-core reads
-`routeTree['types']['fileRouteTypes']` through its exported `InferFileRouteTypes` (with a fallback when it is
-`never`). The contract is that the generated tree carries file route types router-core can infer, not the generated
-file's local interface name (§5.1). The `nested` type tests check `InferFileRouteTypes<typeof routeTree>`: not
-`never`, and its full paths, `to` and ids. They run on a copy of the fixture where the tree is generated
-(`router-generator/tests/integration/fixture-types-nested.test.ts`), so no test writes into the package anymore.
-Clauses: J1.13, §5.1.
-
-### Q5: an update the router on the page does not have (2026-10-23)
-
-The user: "you decide". Decided: a hot update reaches a route the router on the page does not have when the page
-has a second router created after the app's (router-core assigns `window.__TSR_ROUTER__` to the last router created;
-Vite's route HMR code updates that one). Deleting a route file does not reach it: the route tree changes, and the page
-reloads with the new tree (tried: delete then re-create, visited or not). The private-updater test
-(`router-plugin/tests/handle-route-update.test.ts`, jsdom) is deleted; a real page row replaces it: Vite and Rsbuild,
-an app that creates a second, code-based router after its own, an edit of a route component shows in place, the app
-still navigates, no error (`router-plugin/tests/integration/route-hmr-browser-updates.test.ts`, "an edit while the
-page has a second router created after the app's keeps the app working"). Whether such an edit also reaches the
-app's router is not required. Clauses: J3.11, §8.
-
-### Q8: one router plugin per app (2026-10-23)
-
-The user: "we do not support registering multiple times the plugin. Sharing context is an optimization the
-implementer might or might not decide to do, so we should probably not assert it." Deleted: router-plugin
-`integration/pages/router-plugin-context.test.ts` "keeps two router plugins of one dev server to their own route
-files" and `plugin-options.test.ts` "two code splitters scoped to the client and SSR environments of one dev server
-…" (a hand-built Start composition sharing `createRouterPluginContext()`). The rest of that file, one router plugin
-per dev server, is `integration/pages/code-splitter-edits.test.ts`. Start's client and SSR splitting through the
-public Start plugin stays covered by start-plugin-core (`integration/start-router-dev-server.test.ts`,
-`integration/hydrate-dev.test.ts`, `integration/start-build-options.test.ts` "router.codeSplittingOptions: the
-client build loads the route loader and component $name, and both builds run them"; SSR splitting itself is not
-required: "SSR route splitting", 2026-10-24). Clauses: §2.2, §5.20.
-
-### Q9: `tsr.config.json` edits (2026-10-23)
-
-The user: "it's ok to not expect a change in config file to act immediately." The pin "a tsr.config.json edit
-generates the route tree with the new configuration" is deleted; the row where the next route file edit generates
-the route tree with the new configuration stays (router-plugin `known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`). Clause: J1.10.
-
-### NEW-1: a decorator after `export` (2026-10-23)
-
-A real bug: `export @dec class` is valid TypeScript (5.0 and later). The pin stays as it is
-(router-plugin `integration/pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings.test.ts`, "a decorator after `export`
-compiles"). Clauses: §2.1, G1.
-
-### Q10: other import statements (2026-10-23)
-
-Asked whether the generator, when it adds a missing route constructor import, may touch other import statements, the
-user: "I don't think we should specify that. Let it." The oracle does not constrain the import statements: the
-generator may write a new import or edit, merge, split, reorder or reprint any of them, router package or not, and
-no cap limits how many change. What stays checked is the outcome: the route file still evaluates with the real
-router, its `Route` has the right constructor and id, everything outside the import statements keeps its bytes, and
-the imports still bind what the user's code uses (each binding with its imported and local name, source module,
-type/value meaning and import attributes; side-effect imports stay). `router-generator/tests/owned-edits.ts`
-(`expectOnlyOwnedEdits`). Clauses: J1.1, J1.2.
-
-### loaders after a hot edit (2026-10-24)
-
-The user: a hot edit must run each changed loader at least once and the page show the new data, not exactly once.
-Tests check that the page shows the new loader's data and that the new loader ran (`>= 1`); an obsolete loader the
-edit replaced or removed still must not run again (`router-plugin/tests/integration/route-hmr-browser-updates.test.ts`).
-Clauses: J3.1, J3.3.
-
-### sibling options next to an inline component (2026-10-24)
-
-The user: adding sibling route options next to an inline component may remount it. The edit that adds a
-`pendingComponent` and an `errorComponent` before an inline `component` must show in place (no full reload); keeping
-the component's state is not required (`router-plugin/tests/integration/route-hmr-browser-options.test.ts`, "an edit
-that adds component options before an inline component shows in place"). Clause: J3.2.
-
-### split groups and forwarding modules (2026-10-24)
-
-The user: small forwarding modules are acceptable (not ideal: bytes). Two options share a group when, once one of
-them loaded, loading the other fetches no new module holding user code: no file of the app, and no compiled module
-but one that only imports and re-exports (`router-plugin/tests/route-app.ts` `groups()`). A per-option module that
-only forwards to the group's module does not split the group. Clauses: J2.2, §5.3.
-
-### unused code is judged after the bundler (2026-10-24)
-
-The user: what matters is the code after the bundler's production tree-shaking. A test checks that unused code is
-gone from the production bundle (value reads, user markers), not the import specifiers of a module the compiler
-emits: an unused specifier is dropped by the bundler (`router-plugin/tests/served-code.ts` `readsImport`, used by
-`integration/pages/code-splitter-dead-code.test.ts`). Goals, not gates: a split chunk holds only what its option
-uses, and options import shared pieces directly from a shared module. Clauses: J2.5, §5.9.
-
-### route tree quoteStyle and semicolons (2026-10-24)
-
-The docs promise that the generated route tree is "formatted with the quote style you specify"
-(`docs/router/api/file-based-routing.md`), so `quoteStyle` and `semicolons` are among the options the route tree
-honours (J1.4), next to `routeTreeFileHeader/Footer`; §5.5 frees printing everywhere else. Checked by
-`router-generator/tests/generator-options.test.ts`. Clauses: J1.4, §5.5.
-
-## Start (J4–J7)
-
-### D2: `generateFunctionId` input
-
-`generateFunctionId` receives the generated handler name, while the docs suggest hashing the function name. Left
-as is until server-function naming is reworked; no test depends on it. Clauses: J4.4, C5.
-
-### D6: only client-referenced server functions are HTTP-callable
-
-A server function that no client code references must not answer a direct HTTP call by id. Main never rejects:
-a fix-agnostic goal pin. Server-to-server calls must keep working. Clause: J4.2.
-
-### D13: a server function nested in a function
-
-Supported when its handler captures no local binding (goal pin, not urgent). One that captures locals is supported
-safely or rejected with an error naming the capture. Clauses: J4.6, §5.13.
-
-### restored corpus inputs
-
-Two shapes stay in the corpus. A server function in a top-level `{ }` block must work, or fail with a clear error
-naming the file. Unrecognised call shapes (`createServerFn()['handler'](…)`, `createServerOnlyFn(…).bind(null)`)
-must not leak server code to the client: the client build holds no server-only code, or the build fails clearly.
-Builders re-exported under string export names must work. Clauses: J4.5, J4.6, J4.12.
-
-### client-only declarations on the server
-
-On the server, dropping a declaration (and its import and initializer effects) that only client-only code reads
-(`<ClientOnly>` children, `createClientOnlyFn`) is preferred, not required, for neutral file names. For files
-import protection denies on the server (`*.client.*`, the client-only marker) it is required, and a default server
-build reports no violation for such code. Clauses: G3, J4.11, §5.12, C15.
-
-### namespace imports
-
-`import * as Start from '@tanstack/react-start'; <Start.Hydrate …>` is a boundary like a named import, and
-`import * as RSC from '@tanstack/react-start/rsc'; RSC.renderServerComponent(...)` (and the other RSC helpers)
-gets CSS injection like a named import. Direct static namespace members count; variables and wrappers do not.
-Clauses: §2.1, J5.1, J7.2.
-
-### D8: RSC CSS transform and skipped calls
-
-`renderToReadableStream(<JSX/>)` and all-JSX conditionals get CSS. An identifier or spread argument gets a dev-only
-warning. Clause: J7.3.
-
-### RSC undocumented inputs
-
-A second `options` argument of `renderToReadableStream` and plain-data models (`{ card: <Card /> }`), both type
-errors under the default types, must not break: the call works and its arguments reach the runtime unchanged. CSS
-injection and a warning are neither required nor forbidden. Clauses: §2.2, J7.3, C9.
-
-### import-protection exemptions
-
-An importer exempted by `ignoreImporters`, `exclude` or outside `include` gets the real module of a denied file,
-and nothing is reported for it. A denied target matched by `excludeFiles` is not checked, so its importers get the
-real module. Non-exempt importers of the same file still get the mock and a report. Why: exempting must not merely
-silence the report. Clauses: J4.12, J6.7.
-
-### export-\* diamonds and cycles in builds
-
-Diamonds and cycles of `export *` poison the build-mode export cache for some compile orders. The order is
-deterministic for a given build, and real builds see such orders, so the bug is reachable: the rows are `.fails`
-pins (`start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compiler-build-export-cache.test.ts`). This supersedes the earlier
-"not reachable" call, which assumed the failure could not be reproduced. Clauses: J4.5, §8.
-
-### real requests, not a hand-built request context
-
-Server-side checks (server functions, middleware, SSR) run through Start's server entry with a real request and a
-real router: each build and dev harness app has a probe route. A hand-built request context re-implements Start
-and is not allowed; none remains (the last one, `start-plugin-core/tests/start-runtime.ts`, went with the legacy
-helpers once Q6 and Q7 were ruled). Clause: §8.
-
-### Q6: no hand-built Start package graphs (2026-10-22)
-
-Tests that hand-write a fake `@tanstack/start-client-core` and drive the internal `StartCompiler` with it are
-deleted ("this seems absurd. Yes we should absolutely delete them. We just need to make sure what they were trying
-to cover is still covered by higher quality tests."). What they covered is decided through real apps: a factory
-read through a project module that re-exports it, by name, under another name, through `export *` or as a member
-of a namespace import (`start-compiler-factories.test.ts`, "factories resolved through project modules"; the
-namespace row for `createMiddleware` was added), a library importing the factories from
-`@tanstack/start-client-core` (`integration/start-build-v2-libraries.test.ts`), and Start's own built
-`createCsrfMiddleware` (an isomorphic fn whose server implementation builds a middleware), a no-op in the client
-and a request middleware on the server (`createMiddleware/createMiddleware.test.ts`, added). A factory imported
-from an implementation module of Start's package (its deep path) is not reachable: the package's `exports` do not
-expose it. Clauses: J4.5, J4.16, G15, §1.2.
-
-### Q7: CommonJS dependencies (2026-10-22)
-
-Reachable, so pinned through real apps. A CommonJS package installed in `node_modules` (no `"type"`, so its `.js`
-files are scripts) whose code has the text `.handler(` reaches the Start compiler: Vite's client build, Vite's SSR
-build with `noExternal`, both Rsbuild builds and Rsbuild's dev server hand it over (Vite's dev client gets the
-pre-bundled module, and Vite's SSR externalizes it by default). The compiler parses it as an ES module, so a
-top-level `return`, which the same package without that text builds and runs with on both bundlers, fails the
-build: pinned in `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts` (both builds, Rsbuild
-dev). The other sloppy-mode forms of the former in-process pin (a legacy octal escape, a `with` statement) break
-these apps without Start too (Rolldown's parser in Vite's builds and dependency pre-bundling, Rspack's minifier in
-Rsbuild's builds, the strict code Rsbuild's dev server runs them in), so they carry no compiler requirement and
-have no pin. Clauses: J4.16, G1, §8.
-
-### Q3: no stub of removed server parts (2026-10-23)
-
-On the client, the parts of a middleware the compiler removes leave nothing behind: `.options.server` (and
-`.options.validator`) is absent, not a safe empty or throwing stub. The user: "we want the client to ship as little
-code as possible. While a stub would be harmless on correctness, it would not be harmless on bytes." So the property
-checks of the client middleware rows stay as they are (`createMiddleware/createMiddleware.test.ts`,
-`compiler.test.ts`, `start-compiler-v2-inputs.test.ts`, `start-compiler-factories.test.ts`,
-`known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`, `integration/pages/start-compiler-import-forms.test.ts`). Q3 is about stubs
-only: other fields of the client `.options` are free ("client middleware options", 2026-10-24). Clauses: J4.8,
-§5.19.
-
-### Q4: `export *` of a denied module (2026-10-23)
-
-"Like all import protection: we either handle it properly, or we crash the build (and warn in dev)." A name a client
-module re-exports with `export *` from a denied module (a denied file or a denied specifier) is, in mock mode:
-
-- in a build: a complete safe mock (the importer gets usable safe bindings, and the denied module's value is not in
-  the bundle), or the build fails;
-- in dev: a complete safe mock, or a warning naming the `export *` (its file and position, "diagnostics: file and
-  position only");
-- never the denied module's value, and never an importer that fails to load.
-
-Rows: `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts` (dev, pinned on both forms: the importer
-fails to load) and `integration/importProtection/build-mock.test.ts` (both builds; pinned on Rsbuild for a denied
-specifier, whose build succeeds with the name `undefined`). Clauses: J6.8, G5.
-
-### code-frame column (F1)
-
-Start's code frame passes a 0-based column to Babel's 1-based frame, so the caret is one column left of the call.
-That is a product bug in a compiler diagnostic, but a code frame is printed message text, which is not tested
-("diagnostics: file and position only"): its caret pin is deleted, and the position is checked through the
-structured location (file and line) only. Unpinned. Clauses: G5, §5.7.
-
-### outside compiler scope (repair findings)
-
-- Start's preview server and framework-package crawl resolve against `process.cwd()`, and a custom server-function
-  id containing `/` is never routed back: Start server and runtime issues, not compiler bugs. No pins.
-- `.cts` modules with TypeScript syntax and paths with `#` fail in a plain Vite app too (Vite's TS transform and
-  resolver): upstream, no pins ([KNOWN-BUGS.md](./KNOWN-BUGS.md#upstream-issues)).
-- `@vitejs/plugin-rsc`'s dev runtime imports a missing `default` (F3): upstream. The strict module runner checks
-  named imports in the app's own modules only, which is scoping, not a workaround.
-
-Clauses: §1.2, §8.
-
-### mock mode always logs
-
-With `behavior: 'mock'` (dev or build, client or server env), every violation is reported, and the runtime access
-diagnostic follows `mockAccess` (default `error`; `warn`; `off` silences) wherever a mock is served. Main's
-client-dev-only runtime diagnostic is a bug. Why: the docs say "A warning is logged but the build continues".
-Clause: J6.3. Which uses of a mock count for that diagnostic beyond a call is free ("mock access diagnostics",
-2026-10-24).
-
-### rulings of 2026-10-24 (outcomes audit B)
-
-The second outcomes audit (validation `AUDIT-OUTCOMES-B.md`) found tests that pin a correct compiler's free choices.
-The user: tests must be sensible, not paranoid; the implementer may adjust a test that pins an incidental detail.
-Message wording, exact positions and columns, which line of a construct an error points at, and generated or
-internal type names are left as they are; so are the pins whose inputs reuse today's generated names
-("restructured compilers", R3) and the choice between an error and a warning ("depends on each case").
-
-#### client middleware options
-
-User: extra fields (e.g. metadata) on a client middleware's `.options` are allowed; Q3 forbids shipping server
-code or stubs, not other fields. The client rows check `type`, and that no server implementation or validator ships
-(`server`, `validator` absent: `page-values.ts` `clientMiddlewareOf`), never the whole `.options` object.
-Clauses: J4.8, §5.19.
-
-#### mock access diagnostics
-
-User (agreed to the recommendation): the required, documented behaviour is a warning in dev at import time naming
-the file, a mock that never crashes and leaks nothing, and builds that fail by default. The runtime "a mock was
-used" diagnostic (`mockAccess`, undocumented) is left to the implementer: one row checks that calling a mocked
-import is reported with the severity `mockAccess` gives (and nothing with `off`); which other uses count (a
-conversion to a string, `toString()`, `new`, a property write) is not checked
-(`integration/importProtection/mock-access.test.ts`). Clauses: J6.3, §5.18.
-
-#### Hydrate chunk directives
-
-`'use client'` need not be copied into a client-only `<Hydrate>` split chunk: it has no effect in a chunk only the
-client loads. The parent module keeps its directives (J4.17). Clauses: G12, J5.9.
-
-#### child-only module evaluation
-
-A module only `<Hydrate>` children import is not downloaded before its boundary needs it (the page's scripts hold
-none of its code); when its top-level code runs is not checked (`integration/hydrate-dev-edits.ts`). Clauses: G3,
-J5.6.
-
-#### SSR route splitting
-
-User: SSR splitting is "not required, but to be fully optimized even the server code should load as little code as
-possible, so eventually an optimization will have to be made." The SSR build must render correctly; whether it splits
-route options like the client is not checked (`integration/start-build-options.test.ts`). Clauses: R2, G2, §5.3.
-
-#### reading the existing clauses
-
-Applied without a new ruling: an `onViolation` trace may list the entry first or last ("restructured compilers",
-R10; `importProtection/start-apps.ts` `traceFromEntry`); `resolved` is optional for a specifier violation and is
-checked only when given (J6.5, §5.14); a module's directives are each kept, other directives are not forbidden
-(G12); a client server fn is checked through its public `url`, not `serverFnMeta` or its dev id (J4.4, §5.19).
-
-## Test workarounds for upstream bugs
-
-These are the only workarounds the maintainers authorized in the tests. Each carries a comment that says when to
-remove it. The upstream issues are listed in [KNOWN-BUGS.md](./KNOWN-BUGS.md#upstream-issues).
-
-### Rspack: one removal per edit
-
-Rspack 2.2 vendors watchpack 2.5.2, which loses a file removal that lands while a compile runs (fixed in watchpack
-2.6.0). Rsbuild tests delete or recreate one file per `edit()` and settle before the next write. Remove the split
-(merge the steps back) once Rspack bundles watchpack ≥ 2.6. Where:
-`start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/v2-edits.test.ts`,
-`importProtection/v2-edits-page-rsbuild.test.ts`, `rsbuild/dev-server.test.ts`.
-
-### Rsbuild harness waits
-
-The Rsbuild dev harness resolves only once every compiler's watcher is attached and has scanned the app's files
-(`CompileTracker.watching` in `compiler-test-utils/src/rsbuild-dev-server.ts`). Watchpack 2.5.2 never reports a file
-removed while its first scan runs. This wait is harness realism ("the server is up" means it watches), so it may
-stay. The harness also writes the initial app files with past modification times, and counts a compile for an edit
-only if it started after the edit's last write: real projects start dev on existing files. See "Rsbuild dev-server
-edits".
-
-### Vite full-bundle dev: close wait
-
-Vite's `BundledDev.listen()` leaves the `waitForInitialBuildFinish()` rejection unhandled, so closing a
-`bundledDev` server during its initial build can log "Failed to get bundle state". Before `close()`, the harness
-waits for Vite's initial-build bookkeeping to finish; it reads one Vite internal because there is no public API
-(vitejs/vite#22991). Remove the wait once Vite handles the rejection. Where: `compiler-test-utils/src/dev-server.ts`.
-
-### Vite's dependency optimizer: close wait (2026-10-23)
-
-Vite 8.3.4's optimizer keeps writing into an app after `close()` resolved (KNOWN-BUGS, upstream: final-pass #34):
-removing the app then fails with `ENOTEMPTY` on `node_modules/.vite/deps_temp_*`, or the optimizer's write into the
-removed app is an unhandled rejection. The user accepted the recommendation ("ok"): before `close()`, the Vite dev
-harnesses wait until each environment's optimizer has initialized and scanned (`depsOptimizer.initState`,
-`scanProcessing`) and no `deps*_temp_*` directory is left in the server's cache directory, which Vite creates before
-a run writes and renames or removes once the run is committed or cancelled. A run Vite has not started by then never
-starts. An upstream report is drafted, not filed. Remove the wait once Vite awaits its optimizer's work on close.
-Where: `closeViteServer` in `compiler-test-utils/src/dev-server.ts`, used by its dev server harness and by the raw
-Vite servers of start-plugin-core `integration/known-bugs-start-compiler-dev.test.ts` and
-`integration/hydrate-build-dev.test.ts`.
-
-### Vite's stale pre-bundled dependency: closed (2026-10-23)
-
-#42 (KNOWN-BUGS, upstream) did not reproduce in about 350 runs since the harness apps moved to `tanstackStart()`
-(2026-10-22). The user accepted closing it ("ok"): no workaround, no pending ruling; reopen it if its signature is
-seen again.
-
-### Rsbuild dev-server edits
-
-A multi-file edit passes through in-between states that a dev server may compile and report. Tests assert the
-state after the last write, not an exact report list that excludes the in-between states. Clause: §8.
-
-## Test setup facts
-
-- Tests use real framework packages and tools as test-only devDependencies (for example `solid-js`,
-  `vite-plugin-solid`, `@rsbuild/plugin-react`, `@rsbuild/plugin-solid`, `@vitejs/plugin-react`, `miniflare`,
-  `vite-tsconfig-paths`). Built workspace packages such as `@tanstack/react-start` are linked at test time
-  (`@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/workspace-packages`, `startRuntimeLinks`) rather than declared, to avoid Nx
-  cycles. That is why the integration targets build `@tanstack/react-start` first.
-- `@rsbuild/plugin-solid` is at least 1.2.2 everywhere: 1.1.1 broke Solid hydration in Rsbuild dev.
-- The harnesses never pass port 0 to Vite or Rsbuild, whose port 0 handling probes a free port and binds it
-  later (a race under load). Vite listens on its default port and moves to the next free one; Rsbuild runs in
-  middleware mode on the harness's own HTTP server, which binds port 0 itself.
-- Every harness server listens on `127.0.0.1`, and its URL names that address. Vite's default `localhost` names
-  `::1` and `127.0.0.1` while the server listens on one of them, and a Node client of the test process (the idle
-  HMR client, `fetch`) could then be refused under load (KNOWN-BUGS.md, upstream issues: Node's address-family
-  selection).
-- `@vitejs/plugin-vue` is a start-plugin-core test-only devDependency, so the Vue SFC pin runs through the public
-  host.

 ### 2.1 What a user can write
 
-- **Language**: any valid TypeScript/TSX (and JS/JSX) module the project's bundler accepts: type-only imports and
-  exports, `satisfies`, non-null assertions, `as` casts, decorators, class fields, `import … with { type: 'json' }`
-  and the deprecated `assert` form `[ruling: D9]`, JSX pragmas (`@jsx`, `@jsxFrag`, `@jsxRuntime`, `@jsxImportSource`)
-  `[cs: compilers must accept whatever the framework's JSX transform accepts]`, CRLF line endings, BOM-free UTF-8,
-  file names with any character the OS allows (e.g. `what's-new.tsx`) `[cs: the generator writes string literals from file names]`. Non-JS modules that compile to JS before our transforms (`.vue`, `.mdx`) are
-  inputs of J6. Other non-JS modules (CSS, JSON, Markdown, `?raw` text) are never transformed by the JS compilers,
-  even when their text contains an API name such as `createServerFn(` (G1) `[fix #5526 (commit 2824bf7c01) for #5525]`. `.js`/`.jsx` modules are compiled like `.ts`/`.tsx`.
-- **Routing setups** `[doc: routing/route-trees.md:57-65]`: flat, directory, mixed file-based routing; virtual file
-  routes (`virtualRouteConfig` as path or object, `physical()`, `__virtual.ts` subtrees); code-based routing (J4

-  `.lazy.tsx` files with `createLazyFileRoute` holding only the four component options
-  `[doc: guide/code-splitting.md:107-115]`. Vue component pieces (`x.component.vue`, `route.component.vue`) are
-  intentional generator inputs (the "Vue-native way", `getRouteNodes.ts:220-235`; loaded as the SFC default export,
-  `generator.ts:739-765`) though undocumented; `x.lazy.vue` is a lazily loaded `component` piece (J1.17) `[ruling: .lazy.vue]`.
-- **Route options** `[doc: api/router/RouteOptionsType.md]`: the five split options as identifiers, inline
-  function/arrow expressions, method shorthand (`component() {…}`) `[ruling: first review rulings]`, string-literal keys,
-  wrapped identifiers (`X as any`, `memo(X)`, `withAuth(X)`), imported bindings; `codeSplitGroupings` per route
-  `[doc: guide/automatic-code-splitting.md:166-185]`; `ssr`, `server`, `headers`, `head`, `scripts`, `beforeLoad`,

 ## 3. Cross-cutting rules (G)
 
-- **G1 Semantics are preserved.** For every env, the compiled program behaves as the source program would in that
-  env under the documented runtime contract: same rendered output, same loader/handler results, same thrown errors,
-  same `Route` object, same exports an importer sees. Every emitted module parses and evaluates (no new free names
-  outside dead code, G8). `[R1]`
+- **G1 Semantics are preserved.** In every env the compiled program behaves as the source program would in that env
+  under the documented runtime contract: same rendered output, loader and handler results, thrown errors, `Route`
+  object, and exports an importer sees. Every emitted module parses and evaluates (no new free names outside dead
+  code, G8). (R1)
 - **G2 Only what is needed ships to each environment and chunk.** Code an env or chunk cannot execute is absent:
-  server-only code in the client (hard, J4.12), split options in the route module (J2.5), code a chunk does not
-  need (D5), modules imported only for types (L3). Compiler-level tests assert what the compiler alone decides
-  (including the contents of the split modules it emits, within J2.5's D5 boundary); final chunk/bundle contents
-  are build-level assertions per bundler, varying `sideEffects`/`@__PURE__` hints.
-  `[ruling: first review rulings, L3, D5; R2]`
-- **G3 Surviving effects: once per environment, ordering dependencies kept, never duplicated or lost.** Preserve
-  the observable effects and ordering dependencies of executable code that survives for an environment, subject to
-  the explicit environment-removal, type-only-import, dead-code-elimination and initializer-timing rulings (server-
-  only code on the client, J4; client-only code on the server, J4.11 — preferred for neutral names, required for
-  `*.client.*`/marker files; type-only imports, L3/J2.5; split options moved to chunks, J2.5; `deleteNodes`, J2.14;
-  ordinary dead-code elimination under R2/G8). Splitting must not duplicate an effect across derived modules or lose
-  an effect required by executed surviving code. Shared module state initializes once when evaluated, and every
-  consumer observes the same value and instance (J2.4). Eager versus lazy initialization of a shared binding is not
-  pinned; tests must not indirectly pin it by requiring an otherwise unpinned position in an effect trace, and must
-  not force an unrequested lazy module to load. This freedom does not permit reversing ordinary surviving
-  order-dependent effects, changing required results, or duplicating initialization. Printed statement/import order
-  is free. Oracle boundary: a registration/configuration outcome detects illegal reordering; an initializer counter
-  plus real consumers detects duplication and inconsistent values; a single total source-order trace covering eager
-  and movable initializers is not a valid universal oracle. `[ruling: first review rulings, L3, client-only declarations on the server; R3]`
-- **G4 Determinism.** Identical effective source identities, configuration, compilation mode and environment
-  produce deterministic observable output (ids, module graph shape, warnings), independent of incidental scan,
-  request or processing order. Within each build or dev session, callers and providers agree on protocol ids, and
-  server/client hydration identities agree for corresponding boundaries. Production server-function ids satisfy the
-  documented default hashing, collision handling and customization contract (J4.4); development may use
-  implementation-specific module locators, and ids need not match between modes. Path-bearing configuration
-  (`importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths`, cwd-relative `tmpDir`) and custom generators (`generateFunctionId`) may depend
-  on their resolved inputs. Relocating a project must preserve correct compilation, runtime behaviour and
-  within-build identity agreement, but equality of opaque ids between the original and relocated builds is not
-  required absent an explicit relocation-stability contract — the docs promise stable, path-concealing hashes and
-  recommend deterministic inputs, not root independence `[doc: guide/server-functions.md:417-430]`. Route ids and
-  paths must still follow their documented routing conventions (J1.4, J1.5), which is what makes the generated route
-  tree independent of cwd and OS path separators. `[R4]`
-- **G5 Diagnostics: never fail silently.** Unsupported input yields an error, a warning, or a safe
-  non-transform; never silently wrong output. When a user-fixable pattern prevents the intended transform, the user
-  is told once per file (naming the file), in every mode. When the obstacle is our own limitation, that is a bug to
-  fix (goal pin), not a warning to document. Errors about the user's source name the file and carry a position in
-  it; configuration or resolution errors need no fabricated source position. Tests check a diagnostic only for its
-  file and position (and its severity where the clause gives one): the wording, the API or option it names and the
-  cause it gives are not checked. "Warn" means at least a warning (an error where refusal is allowed); an info or log
-  line does not count.
-  `[ruling: D11, D14, diagnostic severity, diagnostics: file and position only; R5]`
-- **G6 Source maps.** Every emitted module derived from user source (route modules, split chunks, Start
-  client/ssr/provider output, Hydrate chunks, rewritten import-protection modules) carries a map so stack traces
-  and import-protection reports resolve to the user's original line and column, through composed maps when other
-  plugins transformed the file first. Purely generated support code (registries, mock helpers) needs no fictitious
-  user mapping. Exact map layout is free. Publishing stripped server text through `sourcesContent` is a known
-  limitation, not a requirement (D1). This holds in dev as in build: the dev server serves maps for the route
-  module and every derived module (split chunk, shared module, Start client/provider module), so a thrown error
-  or a breakpoint resolves to the user's file and line. `[ruling: D1; R6]`
-- **G7 Nothing dev-only in production.** Production artifacts contain no additions whose purpose is exclusively
-  development: HMR accept/dispose code, hot-data wrappers, dev-only warnings/diagnostics, development mock
-  modules, `console` diagnostics gated for development. Explicitly configured production behaviour stays: a
-  production `importProtection.behavior: 'mock'` and its `mockAccess` diagnostics `[doc: import-protection.md: 85-145; type: schema.ts:34-42]`. Build-time console output is allowed on a successful build when it is required
-  or configured: not-split warnings (J2.8), import-protection reports, generator logs unless `disableLogging`
-  (J1.12). G7 targets additions by purpose, not spellings: tests identify dev-only support (including renamed or
-  imported support) by comparing with a real build where the feature is off, and do not ban every occurrence of
-  a workspace path or every success log (only J4.4 forbids path leaks, in default server-function ids). `[ruling: D11; R7]`
-- **G8 Dead code may dangle.** A compiled module may reference an undefined name inside code that never runs, if every
-  supported bundler deletes that code in the production build. A dangling name that survives into a production client
-  bundle is a bug. Validators approximate "deleted by the bundler" with real bundler tree-shaking, never a narrower
-  hand-rolled rule. The check runs on the artifact actually emitted under its effective settings (an unminified
-  build is checked unminified, not through a separately minified copy), and a name that is a real global of the
-  target environment (`window`, `name`, `status`, …) is not dangling, nor is a name the module checks with `typeof`
-  (in that module: another module's check does not excuse an unguarded read).
-  (A compiler that drops a local whose name is also such a global is not detected by this check.) The check covers exactly the modules the compilers under test produced
-  or changed: user and route modules after our transforms, split chunks, virtual and support modules, and any
-  dependency module one of our plugins transformed. Inside that scope every free name counts, unless the module's
-  original source already reads it free (valid third-party code such as a function only ever `.toString()`-ed).
-  Modules no compiler under test touched are out of scope: what a bundler does inside them (Rspack and webpack drop
-  some bindings in unminified dead code) is not the compiler's defect. `[ruling: dangling names]`
-- **G9 Exported bindings: one instance, free export lists, black-box names.** Every export something actually imports
-  (another module, test file, other route) keeps working with the same value and the same instance the owning module
-  uses; the module's export list may otherwise grow or shrink. Generated identifier names, virtual-module ids and
-  query strings are not observable contracts. `[ruling: P1, generated names, exported Route readers]`
-- **G10 Hot updates over reloads.** Where a hot update is feasible, dev edits must not full-reload (client or server);
-  tests may require "no full reload" there and never require a full reload. Which in-memory state survives is the
-  bundler's business: no server-state preservation requirement. `[ruling: dev edits and full reloads]`
-- **G11 Compilers compose.** When several jobs touch one module (Start compiler + splitter + Hydrate + RSC CSS + route
-  HMR + import-protection rewrite), every clause holds on the final output, in every order the wiring may apply them.
-  For a user plugin order the docs do not support (e.g. a JSX plugin registered before the router plugin), a
-  correct result or an actionable order diagnostic are both acceptable; neither a refusal of a working order nor
-  a specific message is required. Module identity follows the participating environment's resolver and loader:
-  compiler dependency discovery and generated virtual modules resolve through the host (aliases, conditional
-  exports, symlinked packages); module identities whose behaviour differs (meaningful queries or virtual ids, a
-  package's `react-server` versus default export) are never conflated, while identical ones may be shared. The
-  documented alias setups (`resolve.tsconfigPaths` on Vite, tsconfig `paths` on Rsbuild) compose with every job; a
-  third-party resolver plugin such as vite-tsconfig-paths is a user plugin under the previous sentence, and a
-  silent import-protection bypass through it is not a "correct result". `[cs: each feature is documented independently of the others; doc: start guide/path-aliases.md; start-plugin-core/AGENTS.md:3]`
+  server-only code in the client (hard, J4.12), split options in the route module (J2.5), code a chunk does not need
+  (J2.5), modules imported only for types (J2.5). Compiler-level tests assert what the compiler alone decides
+  (including what the split modules it emits contain, J2.5); final chunk and bundle contents are asserted on builds,
+  per bundler, with `sideEffects` and `@__PURE__` hints varied. (R2)
+- **G3 Surviving effects run once per environment, in a valid order, never duplicated or lost.** Preserve the
+  observable effects and ordering dependencies of executable code that survives for an environment, after the
+  documented removals: server-only code on the client (J4); client-only code on the server (J4.11: preferred for
+  neutral names, required for `*.client.*` and marker files); type-only imports (J2.5); split options moved to
+  chunks (J2.5); `deleteNodes` (J2.14); ordinary dead-code elimination (G8). Splitting must not duplicate an effect
+  across derived modules or lose an effect that executed surviving code needs. Shared module state initialises once
+  when evaluated, and every consumer sees the same value and instance (J2.4). Eager versus lazy initialisation of a
+  shared binding is free: tests must not pin it through an otherwise unpinned position in an effect trace, and must
+  not force an unrequested lazy module to load. This does not permit reversing surviving order-dependent effects,
+  changing results, or duplicating initialisation. Printed statement and import order is free. How to check: a
+  registration or configuration outcome detects illegal reordering; an initializer counter plus real consumers
+  detects duplication and inconsistent values; a single total source-order trace is not a valid check. (R3)
+- **G4 Determinism.** The same source, configuration, mode and environment give the same observable output (ids,
+  module graph shape, warnings), whatever the scan, request or processing order. Within one build or dev session,
+  callers and providers agree on protocol ids, and server and client hydration identities agree (J5.4). Production
+  server-function ids follow J4.4; dev may use implementation-specific locators, and ids need not match between
+  modes. Path-bearing configuration (`importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths`, a cwd-relative `tmpDir`) and custom
+  generators (`generateFunctionId`) may depend on their resolved inputs. A relocated project must still compile,
+  behave and agree on ids within each build; equal opaque ids between the original and the relocated build are not
+  required. Route ids and paths follow the routing conventions (J1.4, J1.5), which makes the route tree independent
+  of cwd and OS path separators. (R4)
+- **G5 Diagnostics: never fail silently.** Unsupported input yields an error, a warning or a safe non-transform,
+  never silently wrong output. When a user-fixable pattern prevents the intended transform, the user is told once per
+  file, naming the file, in every mode. When the obstacle is our own limitation, that is a bug to fix (a goal pin),
+  not a warning to document. Errors about the user's source name the file and a position in it; configuration and
+  resolution errors need no source position. A diagnostic is checked only for being reported on a channel the user
+  sees, the file it names and, where required, its position (`line:column`, or the line), and its severity where the
+  clause gives one; never its wording, the API or option it names, the cause it gives or its code frame (§5.7). "Warn"
+  means at least a warning (an error where the clause allows refusal); an info or log line does not count. A clause
+  that says "warn" and allows no refusal asks for a warning; an option that asks for a severity (`mockAccess: 'warn'`)
+  is checked at that severity. "The build fails" means it fails. (R5)
+- **G6 Source maps.** Every emitted module derived from user source (route modules, split chunks, Start client, ssr
+  and provider output, Hydrate chunks, rewritten import-protection modules) carries a map, so stack traces and
+  import-protection reports resolve to the user's original line and column, through composed maps when other plugins
+  transformed the file first. Purely generated support code (registries, mock helpers) needs no mapping. Map layout
+  is free. This holds in dev as in build: the dev server serves maps for the route module and every derived module
+  (split chunk, shared module, Start client and provider module). (R6)
+- **G7 Nothing dev-only in production.** Production artifacts contain no additions whose purpose is only
+  development: HMR accept/dispose code, hot-data wrappers, dev-only warnings, development mock modules, `console`
+  diagnostics gated for development. Configured production behaviour stays: a production `importProtection.behavior:
+'mock'` and its `mockAccess` diagnostics. Build-time console output is allowed when required or configured:
+  not-split warnings (J2.8), import-protection reports, generator logs unless `disableLogging` (J1.12). G7 is about
+  purpose, not spelling: tests identify dev-only support by comparing with a real build where the feature is off,
+  and do not ban every workspace path or success log (only J4.4 forbids path leaks, in default server-function
+  ids). (R7)
+- **G8 Dead code may dangle.** A compiled module may reference an undefined name inside code that never runs, if
+  every supported bundler deletes that code in the production build. A dangling name that survives into a
+  production client bundle is a bug. The check uses real bundler tree-shaking, on the artifact actually emitted under

 - **G12 Printing fidelity.** Code the compiler does not own is reproduced with identical semantics: directives,
   pragmas (their effective JSX-runtime decision, J2.16), comments where feasible, parentheses required by
-  precedence, string escapes. License comments (`/*!`, `@license`, `@preserve`) stay in the source module when the
-  splitter moves or removes the code below them; other orphaned comments are free (R-14). R-14 binds the splitter
-  only: where the Start compiler (server-function handler extraction, environment functions, Hydrate extraction)
-  and the import-protection rewrite put license comments is free, with no test either way. Upstream printer bugs
-  that change meaning are our bugs from the user's point of view. `[ruling: R-14, OQ12; R1]`
-- **G13 Mode parity.** In each mode, compilation preserves the behaviour required by that mode's effective
-  configuration and public runtime contract. Equivalent settings preserve equivalent application semantics, subject
-  to documented mode-specific behaviour. Import-protection mock/error policy (J6.3), diagnostics, HMR and
-  implementation-id representation (J4.4) may differ as configured or documented; these differences are not parity
-  failures. For the same effective configuration, which options are split, how they are grouped and which options
-  `deleteNodes` removes are the same in dev and build. ` [doc: guide/automatic-code-splitting.md:27 (transform in development and at build); doc: guide/import-protection.md:85-145; type: schema.ts:24-32]`
-- **G14 Idempotence is not required.** See 2.2 (recompiling output).
-- **G15 Recognition is by binding identity, not spelling.** Every compiler recognises its APIs through the lexical
-  binding and its module provenance (import from the TanStack package, through the supported alias/re-export/factory
-  forms of each job). A locally declared or shadowed `createServerFn`/`Hydrate`/`createFileRoute`, the same name
+  precedence, string escapes. Each user directive is kept; an added directive without effect is not forbidden.
+  License comments (`/*!`, `@license`, `@preserve`) stay in the source module when the splitter moves or removes the

+  printer bugs that change meaning are our bugs. (R1)
+- **G13 Mode parity.** Each mode preserves the behaviour its effective configuration and the runtime contract
+  require; equivalent settings give equivalent application semantics, apart from documented mode differences.
+  Import-protection mock/error policy (J6.3), diagnostics, HMR and dev id representation (J4.4) may differ as
+  configured or documented. For the same configuration, which options are split, how they are grouped and which

   exported by an unrelated package, and unrelated `.handler()`/`.server()`/`.client()`/`.validator()` methods are
-  left untouched with their own semantics; generated names never collide with user bindings. For route-file
-  upkeep, the generator may recognise and repair the designated `Route` declaration's missing factory import under

 ### J2 Route code splitting (router-plugin)
 
-- **J2.1 Which modules.** Only file route modules are processed, and inside them only the `createFileRoute` /
-  `createRootRoute` / `createRootRouteWithContext` call bound to `Route`. `createLazyFileRoute` modules are not split
-  further; non-route modules and code-based routes are returned unchanged. Vite, Rsbuild/Rspack, webpack; React,
-  Solid, Vue. `[ruling: one route per file; doc: guide/code-splitting.md:74]`
-- **J2.2 Which options and groupings.** Only `component`, `errorComponent`, `pendingComponent`,
-  `notFoundComponent`, `loader` are split. Grouping precedence: `codeSplitGroupings` in the file > `splitBehavior({
-routeId })` > `defaultBehavior` > the default `[['component'],['errorComponent'],['notFoundComponent']]`; a property
-  may appear in at most one group; options in one group load as one unit and different groups stay independently
-  lazy (§5.3). Two options load as one unit when, once one loaded, loading the other fetches no new module holding
-  user code; a small forwarding module per option over the group's module is acceptable, though not ideal (bytes).
-  `[ruling: split groups and forwarding modules; doc: guide/automatic-code-splitting.md:53-75,187-195; type: router-plugin config splitGroupingsSchema]`
+- **J2.1 Which modules.** Only file route modules, and in them only the `createFileRoute` / `createRootRoute` /
+  `createRootRouteWithContext` call bound to `Route`. `createLazyFileRoute` modules are not split further (they are
+  already lazy); non-route modules and code-based routes are returned unchanged. Vite, Rsbuild/Rspack, webpack;
+  React, Solid, Vue.
+- **J2.2 Which options and groupings.** Only `component`, `errorComponent`, `pendingComponent`, `notFoundComponent`
+  and `loader` are split. Precedence: `codeSplitGroupings` in the file > `splitBehavior({ routeId })` >
+  `defaultBehavior` > the default `[['component'],['errorComponent'],['notFoundComponent']]`; a property appears in at
+  most one group. Options in one group load as one unit; different groups stay independently lazy (§5.3). Two options
+  load as one unit when, once one loaded, loading the other fetches no new module holding user code (no file of the
+  app, no compiled module other than one that only imports and re-exports). A small forwarding module per option
+  over the group's module is acceptable (not ideal: bytes).
 - **J2.3 Behaviour identical.** A split route renders, errors, pends, not-founds and loads exactly as the unsplit
   route; everything not configured for splitting (path parsing, search validation, `beforeLoad`, context, `head`,
-  `scripts`, `staticData`, `ssr`, `server`, `headers`, …) stays eager in the route module. `[doc: guide/code-splitting.md:13-31; R1]`
-- **J2.4 One instance.** Preserve observable shared identity, state and once-only effects across the route, its
-  actual importers and its chunks: `Route`, module state, and every exported function/class/constant (importers of
-  a route-module export and the route itself get the same object; a copy of an exported declaration in a chunk is a
-  bug even when it is "stateless", because its identity is observable through the import). Required pure helpers
-  with unobservable identity may be copied or rewritten (§5.3). Prove identity through real consumers and effects,
-  not declaration counts. `[ruling: P1, exported Route readers, D5]`
-- **J2.5 Each chunk holds only what it needs.** The split option's code (and bindings only it uses) is absent from the
-  route module; an import used only for types is dropped, so the imported module never loads in the client for that
-  reason. Separately, a compiler-emitted split module must not carry unrelated source declarations or dependencies
-  that its configured split group does not need; "needed" includes the group's transitive dependencies, required
-  effects and compiler/runtime support. D5 permits compiler-level inspection proving that a particular unrelated
-  declaration or dependency is absent, including a count of zero when that check identifies the unwanted code
-  independently of generated names and formatting `[ruling: D5]`. It does not permit fixing the total number of declarations, a required textual shape, or a particular
-  valid placement of shared code. Oracle boundary: an unused unrelated exported class copied into a component chunk
-  fails even if never called; an extra helper actually needed to implement that component does not fail merely
-  because it increases the declaration count; a shared dependency needed by another legitimate consumer must not be
-  misclassified as an unused copy in this chunk. Also check final bundle contents per supported bundler, on
-  production output with side-effect hints varied; that does not replace the compiler-level D5 obligation. What
-  counts as unused code left behind is judged after the bundler's production tree-shaking: unused code must be gone
-  from the production bundle (checked by value reads and user markers); an unused import specifier or an
-  unreferenced declaration an emitted module keeps is free (§5.9). Ideal goals, not gates: a split chunk holds only
-  what its option uses, and options read shared pieces directly from a shared module rather than through forwarding
-  modules. `[ruling: D5, L3, unused code is judged after the bundler; R2]`
-- **J2.6 Lazy loading contract.** Split options are loaded on demand and behave under the framework/router's public
-  lazy contract: split components are preloadable before render (the route's `component.preload()`, so intent
-  preloading keeps working) and render correctly afterwards; split loaders run on demand with the same result.
-  Whether the compiler emits `lazyRouteComponent`/`lazyFn` calls or an equivalent is mechanism; tests observe
-  laziness through the real router (preload, render, loader call) and the modules actually requested, never by
-  recognising a helper constructor, and may not require exactly one directly imported target per group (§5.3,
-  §5.8). `[doc: api/router/lazyRouteComponentFunction.md:9,27-29; type: framework-options.ts]`
-- **J2.7 Root route.** The root `component` is always rendered and need not be split; root `errorComponent` /
-  `notFoundComponent` should be split (goal pin; keeping root unsplit is acceptable but not preferred). `[ruling: D12; doc: routing/routing-concepts.md:49-51]` (conflicts with `guide/code-splitting.md:105`, see §7.)
+  `scripts`, `staticData`, `ssr`, `server`, `headers`, …) stays eager in the route module.
+- **J2.4 One instance.** Shared identity, state and once-only effects hold across the route, its importers and its
+  chunks: `Route`, module state, and every exported function, class or constant (importers of a route-module export
+  and the route itself get the same object; a copy of an exported declaration in a chunk is a bug, even a
+  "stateless" one such as an exported function that reads `Route`). Pure helpers with unobservable identity may be
+  copied or rewritten (§5.3). Prove identity through real consumers and effects, not declaration counts.
+- **J2.5 Each chunk holds only what it needs.** The split option's code (and bindings only it uses) is absent from
+  the route module. An import used only for types is dropped, so its module never loads in the client for that
+  reason, with or without `verbatimModuleSyntax`. A compiler-emitted split module carries no unrelated source
+  declarations or dependencies its group does not need ("needed" includes the group's transitive dependencies,
+  required effects and compiler/runtime support). Compiler-level checks may prove a particular unrelated declaration
+  or dependency absent (also as a count of zero, when the check finds the unwanted code independently of generated
+  names and formatting); they may not fix the total number of declarations, a textual shape, or one valid placement
+  of shared code. So: an unused, unrelated exported class copied into a component chunk fails even if never called;
+  an extra helper the component needs does not fail; a dependency another legitimate consumer needs is not an
+  unused copy. Final bundle contents are also checked per bundler, on production output with side-effect hints
+  varied. Unused code is judged after the bundler's production tree-shaking: it must be gone from the production
+  bundle (checked by value reads and user markers); an unused import specifier or unreferenced declaration in an
+  emitted module is free (§5.9). Goals, not gates: a split chunk holds only what its option uses, and options read
+  shared pieces directly from a shared module rather than through forwarding modules.
+- **J2.6 Lazy loading contract.** Split options load on demand under the router's public lazy contract: split
+  components are preloadable before render (the route's `component.preload()`, so intent preloading works) and render
+  afterwards; split loaders run on demand with the same result. Emitting `lazyRouteComponent`/`lazyFn` or an
+  equivalent is free; tests observe laziness through the real router (preload, render, loader call) and the modules
+  actually requested, never by recognising a helper, and do not require one directly imported target per group
+  (§5.3, §5.8).
+- **J2.7 Root route.** The root `component` always renders and need not be split. Root `errorComponent` and
+  `notFoundComponent` should be split (a goal pin); keeping the root unsplit is acceptable, not preferred (C1).
 - **J2.8 Not split → user informed, never broken.** Every option configured for splitting ends up split. If a
   user-fixable pattern prevents it (e.g. the option's declaration is exported _and_ eagerly imported elsewhere, or a
   side-effectful initialiser with no purity hint), the option keeps working in the route module with one instance,
-  and the build/dev run warns once naming the file, in every mode. If our analysis is the obstacle,
-  that is a bug. Options the compiler cannot read statically — an options object imported from another module
-  (`createFileRoute('/x')(options)` with `import { options } from './x.options'`), factory-built options, a cast
-  it does not unwrap — fall under this clause: split correctly or report once naming the file (the dev

+  Options the compiler cannot read statically (an options object imported from another module, factory-built
+  options, a cast it does not unwrap) fall under this clause: split correctly or report once naming the file (the dev
   full-reload allowance for factory-built options stands). Under Start the client build never ships their

-  `[ruling: D11, D14, first review rulings, route options from a function call]`
-- **J2.9 Best-effort shapes.** Method shorthand options must be splittable (or refreshable) like any other. Spread
-  or computed option keys: best effort, safe fallback (J1.9), never a silent wrong split. Initialiser timing of
-  shared bindings is not pinned: run once, same value everywhere. `[ruling: first review rulings]`
-- **J2.10 Same-file route factory (R-09).** Either a correct split (renders, hot-updates) or unsplit plus a warning
-  naming the file, in every mode; crashes or rendering the wrong component are bugs. `[ruling: R-09]`
+  `ssr`/`server`/`headers` silently: they are removed, or the build reports or fails clearly (J2.14, J4.12).

 - **J2.12 Bindings the route module still reads stay declared.** Moving an option's declaration never removes an
   import or declaration another surviving statement (an exported wrapper, `head()`, an unsplit option, a top-level
-  call) reads; the route module stays a valid module (G1, G8). `[cs: a module with a dangling live reference throws at load]`
+  call) reads; the route module stays valid (G1, G8).
 - **J2.13 Dev mode.** Splitting also happens in dev; virtual chunk modules resolve in every bundler's dev server;
-  removing a split option the page had loaded must not break the page. `[doc: guide/automatic-code-splitting.md:27; G10]`
-- **J2.14 `deleteNodes`.** Options named in `codeSplittingOptions.deleteNodes` are removed from the route module of
-  that env together with code only they used; Start sets `['ssr','server','headers']` on the client so the `ssr`
-  function, server handlers and `headers` never reach the client. `[type: router-plugin config deleteNodes; doc: guide/selective-ssr.md:133; wiring: start-plugin-core vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts:166; rsbuild/start-router-plugin.ts:76]`
+  removing a split option the page had loaded does not break the page.
+- **J2.14 `deleteNodes`.** Options named in `codeSplittingOptions.deleteNodes` are removed from that env's route
+  module with the code only they use; Start sets `['ssr','server','headers']` on the client, so the `ssr` function,
+  server handlers and `headers` never reach the client.
 - **J2.15 Client route tree pruning (Start).** Routes whose only `createFileRoute` prop is `server`, with only such
-  descendants, are removed from the client route tree, on Vite and Rsbuild alike. Everything else survives: every
-  route with a client-visible prop, and every ancestor a surviving route needs — including a server-only-configured
-  ancestor of a surviving child (`pruneServerOnlySubtrees.ts:29-50`). Server and provider trees keep all routes and
-  handlers. Unknown or spread-derived props never cause pruning (J1.9). `[ruling: Rsbuild route-tree parity; wiring: pruneServerOnlySubtrees.ts]`
-- **J2.16 JSX runtime.** A chunk compiles its JSX under the same runtime/pragma semantics as its source module: the
-  project's real JSX transform must select the same runtime for the chunk as it would for the untouched file. For a
-  non-leading pragma comment (`/** @jsxImportSource … */` after the imports) the compiler preserves the original
-  file's effective decision — a pragma the transform ignores in the untouched file (Oxc/esbuild honour leading
-  comments only; Babel any) must not become effective in a chunk: keep it non-leading or omit it (D-04). Warning plus
-  leaving the file unsplit is also acceptable (J2.8). Tests assert the rendered outcome only, never comment
-  placement or the emitted runtime-import spelling; the oracle compiles the untouched and the compiled module with
-  the project's real JSX transform and its real configured defaults (automatic or classic), and lets that transform
-  interpret the pragmas — no universal "a pragma means classic" rule. `[ruling: D-04; R1]`
-- **J2.17 Deprecated `assert` attributes.** An import written with `assert` in a route module (e.g.
-  `import data from './data.json' assert { type: 'json' }`) keeps working, wherever the import lands (route module or
-  chunk), and its attribute keeps its meaning where the bundler honours attributes. How the compiler prints the
-  keyword (`assert` or `with`) is free: no public host observes it (Vite strips import attributes, webpack accepts both
-  keywords, Rspack ignores them), so tests assert the behaviour only, never the printed keyword.
-  `[ruling: D9; coordinator 2026-10-21]`
-- **J2.18 esbuild.** Either splitting works or the plugin refuses clearly (error naming esbuild and
-  `autoCodeSplitting`). A warning on a successful unsplit build is not a refusal. `[ruling: D3]`

 ### J3 Route HMR (dev only)
 
 - **J3.1 In-place update.** Editing a file route module in dev updates the live route on the running router without
   a full reload: non-component options (loader, beforeLoad, head, validateSearch, …) are replaced; matching and
-  navigation use the new options (stale derived route state is invalidated; how is mechanism); generated options
-  (`id`, `path`, `getParentRoute`) stay on the live route; the active match re-renders with the new options. A hot
-  edit runs each changed loader at least once and the page shows its new data; how many times it runs is not
-  pinned, while an obsolete loader the edit replaced or removed does not run again. Vite and Rsbuild/Rspack (webpack
-  lower priority); React, Solid, Vue. `[ruling: dev edits and full reloads, loaders after a hot edit; type: HmrOptions]`
-- **J3.2 Component identity is kept for compatible edits.** For compatible hot updates, preserve the router-owned
-  component/lazy-wrapper identity required by D10, including Solid and Vue split components, and show the new
-  component code. Where the framework's supported refresh behaviour can retain the mounted component and its state
-  for that edit, the compiler/router must not cause a remount or state reset; such a remount fails the test.
-  Compatibility is determined by the real framework's refresh contract, not merely an unchanged component name or
-  family (React Refresh, for instance, remounts class components, changed hook signatures and forced resets even
-  within one family). Framework-required replacement, including incompatible hook signatures or component kinds, is
-  allowed without an unconditional descendant-state guarantee. Adding sibling route options next to an inline
-  component (e.g. a `pendingComponent` and an `errorComponent` before an inline `component`) may remount it: the
-  edit must show in place, its state need not survive `[ruling: sibling options next to an inline component]`.
-  Renames and other family replacements must display the new component (J3.3). A framework subtree replacement is distinct from a full reload; full reloads remain
-  governed by G10 and the explicit factory-options exception (2.2, J3.3). Test both split and unsplit cases with
-  real framework tooling (§8). Oracle boundary: a compatible body-only edit that loses state because the router
-  recreates its wrapper must fail; an edit the real framework must remount must not fail solely for that remount;
-  "where possible" does not excuse a missing compiler capability that D10 makes a goal. `[ruling: D10, dev edits and full reloads]`
-- **J3.3 Every edit takes effect.** After an edit, the page shows the new code: new component body, renamed component
-  (a new Refresh family), new split loader (even when only the chunk changed and the route module did not), an added
-  or removed option (including a removed split option the page had loaded), with or without the framework's refresh
-  plugin. A full reload is acceptable only for factory-built options (2.2). `[ruling: route options from a function call; cs: the purpose of HMR is to see the edit]`
+  navigation use the new options (stale derived route state is invalidated); generated options (`id`, `path`,
+  `getParentRoute`) stay on the live route; the active match re-renders. A hot edit runs each changed loader at

+- **J3.2 Component identity is kept for compatible edits.** For compatible hot updates, the router keeps its
+  component and lazy-wrapper identity (React, and Solid and Vue split components too) and shows the new code. Where
+  the framework's refresh can keep the mounted component and its state, the compiler and router must not cause a
+  remount or state reset. Compatibility is the real framework's refresh contract, not an unchanged name (React
+  Refresh remounts class components, changed hook signatures and forced resets). Framework-required replacement is
+  allowed. Adding sibling route options next to an inline component (e.g. a `pendingComponent` and an
+  `errorComponent` before an inline `component`) may remount it: the edit must show in place, its state need not
+  survive. Renames must display the new component (J3.3). A subtree replacement is not a full reload (G10). Test
+  split and unsplit routes with real framework tooling (§8). So: a compatible body-only edit that loses state because
+  the router recreated its wrapper fails; an edit the framework must remount does not fail for that remount. Keeping
+  Solid and Vue split-component identity is a requirement, not best effort.
+- **J3.3 Every edit takes effect.** After an edit the page shows the new code: a new component body, a renamed
+  component (a new Refresh family), a new split loader (even when only the chunk changed), an added or removed option
+  (including a removed split option the page had loaded), with or without the framework's refresh plugin. A full
+  reload is acceptable only for factory-built options (§2.2).

 - **J3.6 Start server side.** Editing a module only server-function handlers read does not full-reload the server;
-  the next call runs the new handler code. This also holds with RSC enabled (separate provider): a route module

-- **J4.1 `createServerFn` on the client.** The handler, the server function's validation step, and everything only
-  they reference are absent; the exported value is still a callable server function with the same `method`/options
-  and middleware list, calling the server by id over HTTP; `.url` works for forms. A schema or helper that surviving
-  client code also uses independently stays (its absence is not required merely because it is also a validator).
-  `[doc: guide/server-functions.md:134-150,395-397,484; guide/import-protection.md:329-362; runtime: start-client-core createServerFn.ts:305-308 validates on the server only]`

+  list, calling the server by id over HTTP; `.url` works for forms. A schema or helper that surviving client code
+  also uses stays.
 - **J4.2 `createServerFn` on the provider.** The handler runs with its original semantics and closure; the function
-  is registered under its id so an HTTP call by id (with validation and middleware) executes it; module top-level
-  code of the defining module runs once in that env even when the handler is extracted into a provider module.
-  Only server functions the client references are HTTP-callable (bug pin). Calling a server function from server
-  code is documented ("Other server functions - Compose server logic"): a server function that only server code
-  calls (another server function's handler, a middleware `.server()`, an SSR-only module) works for those callers in
-  every production build, whether or not the client build discovered it and in any module processing order (G4).
-  D6 restricts only direct HTTP calls by id of a function no client code references. `[ruling: D6, P2; doc: guide/server-functions.md:8,72-76]`
-- **J4.3 `createServerFn` during SSR.** Calling a server function while rendering runs the handler directly (no
-  browser HTTP fetch) with the same result as an HTTP call `[doc: guide/middleware.md:805-806]`. When SSR and the
-  provider share one environment, the handler may stay in the SSR module or be looked up by id — tests assert
-  behaviour only `[ruling: P2]`. When the provider is a
-  separate environment (RSC: `react-start-rsc/src/plugin/vite.ts:50-59` forwards SSR lookups into the `rsc` env,
-  whose runtime exports exist only there, `:160-166`), the handler executes in the provider environment with its
-  module-resolution conditions; forwarding/lookup is allowed, its mechanism is free.
-- **J4.4 Ids.** _Build_: function ids are deterministic for unchanged input, identical in client, ssr and provider
-  output of one build, de-duplicated with `_1`, `_2`… on collision, hashed by default (no path leak), and overridable
-  through `serverFns.generateFunctionId({ filename, functionName })` (experimental) `[doc: guide/server-functions.md:417-430 "for production build"; compiler.ts:637-669]`. _Dev_: an implementation-specific
-  lookup id is allowed (`compiler.ts:614-634` encodes the module for direct lookup); within one dev session every
-  caller and the provider agree on it; ids need not match between dev and build (G13). A by-id request for a
-  module the running dev server has not compiled yet (a page left open across a dev-server restart) compiles that
-  module on demand and is served. Generated handler/variable
-  names are a black box. The form of the `filename` passed to `generateFunctionId` (relative or absolute) is not
-  specified: tests derive the expected id from the arguments actually received. Adding or editing declarations
-  changes the effective input, so ids need not survive edits; repeatability is required for unchanged input only.
-  `generateFunctionId` is a build contract; dev ids may or may not use it. `[ruling: generated names, D2]`
-- **J4.5 Recognition.** All Start builders are recognised through renamed imports, namespace members, re-exports,
-  aliases (`export const createFooServerFn = createServerFn`), builders stored in variables and continued later
-  (`const base = createServerFn().validator(s); export const f = base.handler(h)`), user factories/wrappers in other
-  modules, `createStart(...).createMiddleware`, `.middleware([...])` chains that return callable builders, and
-  re-exports under string export names (`export { createServerFn as 'create server fn' }`), which must work.
-  A configured builder passed in another builder's `.middleware([...])` (`const authed =
-createServerFn().middleware([auth])`, then `createServerFn().middleware([authed]).handler(…)`) contributes its
-  middleware list. Option objects given by identifier or spread (`createServerFn({ ...opts })`) are ordinary

+  (`serverFnMeta`) are not contracts.
+- **J4.5 Recognition.** All Start builders are recognised through renamed imports, namespace members, re-exports
+  (also of a namespace, and through diamonds and cycles of `export *`, in any compile order), aliases (`export const

 - **J4.6 Declaration sites.** Server functions declared at module top level work everywhere. A `createServerFn`
-  nested inside a function works when the handler captures no local binding (goal pin). When it captures locals or
-  is otherwise not extractable, the compiler either preserves the complete environment/RPC semantics safely (client
-  calls by id reach a server handler with the same observable result; nothing leaks) or reports a clear error naming
-  the unsupported capture; a broken or leaking function is a bug. Other positions (default export, assignment,
-  object property, class field, block) likewise work or error clearly; a server fn declared in a top-level `{ }`
-  block works, or fails with a clear error naming the file. `[ruling: D13, restored corpus inputs; R5]`
-- **J4.7 Import form independence.** A module's compiled client output does not depend on how importers import it
-  (static, dynamic, re-export, barrel); dynamic import is discouraged but never leaks server code. `[doc: server-functions.md:152-158; G2]`

 ### J5 Deferred hydration `<Hydrate>`
 
 - **J5.1 Recognition.** A `<Hydrate>` whose tag resolves to a static import from `@tanstack/react-start` or
   `@tanstack/solid-start` is a split boundary unless it has the literal `split={false}`. The tag may be the named
   import, a renamed import, or a direct static member of a namespace import (`import * as Start from
-'@tanstack/react-start'; <Start.Hydrate …>`), extracted exactly like a named import. React and Solid; Vite and
-  Rsbuild; not Vue. Variable indirection (`const Deferred = Hydrate`, `const { Hydrate } = Start`) and wrapper
-  components are not analysed (2.2). A shadowed namespace binding or a namespace of another package is a look-alike
-  (G15). `[ruling: namespace imports; doc: guide/deferred-hydration.md:181-207,667-698]`

+  analysed (§2.2). A shadowed namespace binding or a namespace of another package is a look-alike (G15).
 - **J5.2 Client output.** The boundary's children move into a separately loaded chunk rendered through a lazy
   component; values the children capture from the enclosing scope are passed in and reflect the latest render;
   identifiers declared inside the children (e.g. a `const Icon` in a map callback) are not captures; nested boundaries
-  each get their own chunk; `prefetch`'s `preload()` loads that chunk (and resolves immediately with `split={false}`).

+  each get their own chunk; `prefetch`'s `preload()` loads that chunk (and resolves at once with `split={false}`).
 - **J5.3 Server output.** Children still render to HTML (G1); the server renders a boundary marker; `fallback` is
-  removed when statically visible (direct prop, inline object spread, single-use `const` spread) and may stay
-  otherwise. `[doc: deferred-hydration.md:49-57,559-561,738-741]`
-- **J5.4 Hydration identities agree.** Server and client identify the same rendered boundaries — every boundary,
-  extracted or not, including one hidden in a `children` prop — so each hydrates with the identity the server
-  rendered, with no mismatch, collision or wrong child-chunk selection. Any compiler-assigned part of that identity
-  is identical in every env of one build and deterministic for unchanged effective inputs, with server/client
-  agreement in each build (G4; equality between builds at different project roots is not required). The runtime
-  combines an optional compiler prefix with the framework's own id (`react-start-client/src/Hydrate.tsx:75-76`): a
-  compiler id on every non-extracted boundary is not required when the framework identity already agrees.
-  Identities must not collide among boundaries rendered at the same time; boundaries in mutually exclusive branches
-  at the same render position need not differ. `[R4]`
-- **J5.5 Rejections are loud when extraction is attempted.** For a boundary being extracted, function-as-children,
-  hook calls directly inside the extracted JSX and `this`/`super` captures produce a compile error naming the fix
-  (`split={false}` or a child component); dynamic `split` is treated as split. A boundary with literal
-  `split={false}` is neither extracted nor rejected (the transform skips it, `hydrate-when-transform.ts:579-580`),
-  and runtime behaviour is whatever the framework defines for the input (C8). These rejections are the specified
-  outcome, not a compiler limitation: G5's "our limitation is a bug" rule does not turn them into support goals. A

 - **J5.6 Only what is needed, when it is needed.** Child chunks are not modulepreloaded with the route; without

-  and keyed reorders: it never freezes the first render's data or a Solid read. A changed inline `when`/`prefetch`
-  identity does not restart an established gate; a new `key` creates a new boundary. React's documented early
-  hydration stays allowed (J5.6). `[doc: deferred-hydration.md:98-101,146-179,403-407]`
-- **J5.9 Printing.** Children/fallback JSX re-printed in the chunk or stripped from the server must keep their meaning

 ### J7 RSC CSS injection (react-start-rsc)
 
-- **J7.1 Scope.** Active only with `rsc.enabled: true`, React, under the documented prerequisites (§1.3), in the
-  environment that executes the RSC render: on Vite the `rsc` env (provider; its `loadCss` is
-  `import.meta.viteRsc.loadCss()`, `react-start-rsc/src/plugin/vite.ts:61-63`, and the ordinary SSR runtime
-  rejects direct `renderToReadableStream`, `:160-166`); on Rsbuild the server-function provider modules
-  (`react-start/src/plugin/rsbuild.ts:73-75`, `rscCssTransform.ts:75-79`). SSR forwarding and the client/SSR
-  facades are preserved; no other server env is required to evaluate an RSC-only CSS loader. The env list
-  describes today's wiring (e.g. Rsbuild's `serverFnProviderOnly`), not a frozen option set: the requirement is
-  delivery wherever the render executes (J7.2). `[doc: guide/server-components.md:11-92]`
-- **J7.2 CSS reaches the client.** For `renderServerComponent(<JSX/>)` and `createCompositeComponent(fn)` executed in
-  that environment (the documented usage: a server function returning server-rendered UI), the CSS (global and
-  modules) imported by the server-component module is delivered with the RSC payload so the client styles it.
-  Injecting the bundler's `loadCss` into those calls is the current mechanism; an equivalent delivery is acceptable.
-  Recognised through both module names (`@tanstack/react-start/rsc`, `@tanstack/react-start-rsc`), import renames
-  and direct static namespace members (`import * as RSC from '@tanstack/react-start/rsc';
-RSC.renderServerComponent(<Card />)`, likewise `RSC.createCompositeComponent` and `RSC.renderToReadableStream`
-  under J7.3), which get CSS injection like a named import. Variables, wrappers and project re-exports of the
-  helpers are not recognised requirements (unlike J4.5 builders); shadowed or foreign look-alikes stay untouched

+  today's mechanism; an equivalent delivery is fine. Recognised through both module names
+  (`@tanstack/react-start/rsc`, `@tanstack/react-start-rsc`), import renames and direct static namespace members
+  (`RSC.renderServerComponent(<Card />)`, likewise `createCompositeComponent` and, under J7.3,
+  `renderToReadableStream`). Variables, wrappers and project re-exports of the helpers need not be recognised;
+  shadowed or foreign look-alikes stay untouched (G15).
+- **J7.3 `renderToReadableStream`.** With a JSX first argument (or a conditional whose branches are all JSX, `as` or

 - **J7.4 No duplication, no behaviour change.** Injection adds styles only; rendered markup and the stream's data are
   otherwise unchanged (G1); a module not calling these helpers is untouched.
-- **J7.5 Dev.** Editing a server component's CSS (global or module) updates the open page with the new effective
-  styles; removing a rule or the CSS import removes its effect; successive edits do not leave stale effective
-  stylesheets behind; no full reload where a hot update is feasible (G10). Stylesheet count, loader and envelope are
-  free. Tested on Vite and Rsbuild dev servers (react-start-rsc integration tier). `[G10]`

-## 6. Product questions ruled after the first drafts
-
-These were open questions; each is now ruled and binding. The ids stay because tests cite them.
-
-- **OQ12: license comments beyond the splitter.** R-14 binds the splitter only. Where the Start compiler
-  (server-function handler extraction, environment functions, Hydrate extraction) and the import-protection rewrite
-  put license comments is free, with no test either way (G12, §5.5). `[ruling: OQ12]`
-- **OQ13: already-lazy option values.** A file route may write `component: lazyRouteComponent(() =>
-import('../features/ReportsPage'))` (typed `RouteComponent | LazyRouteComponent`, `[doc:
-api/router/RouteOptionsType.md:32]`; the docs recommend `createLazyFileRoute` instead). Required outcome: once the
-  router has preloaded the route, rendering it requests no new module and shows no pending fallback. Leaving
-  already-lazy values in the route module and chaining the inner `preload()` both pass. One build test checks it.
-  `[ruling: OQ13]`
-- **OQ14: a chunk for `component: Outlet`.** `Outlet` is already the default component. No requirement: the compiler
-  may emit a chunk, skip it, or drop the `component` property. No test. `[ruling: OQ14]`
-- **OQ15: the release-candidate `.inputValidator()`.** It was removed in 1.169 and `tsc` rejects it: a type-invalid
-  input (§8, §2.2). No compiler requirement, no test. `[ruling: OQ15]`
-- **OQ16: third-party transforms on split chunks.** An app's own `enforce: 'pre'` plugin whose filter only matches
-  `/\.tsx$/` does not see split-chunk ids (`posts.tsx?tsr-split=component`). Out of scope for now: no test. The
-  documented integrations (framework plugins, the React Compiler through the framework plugin) must keep working.
-  `[ruling: OQ16]`

   - a. `<ClientOnly>` in Vue SFC templates: no requirement until Vue Start is documented.
   - b. A module-level `'use server'` with RSC enabled: undefined, no test; J4.12 still holds.
-  - c. Edits of modules that the `virtualRouteConfig` file imports: live regeneration is unsupported (restart);
-    J1.10 covers the config file itself, `__virtual.ts` files and route files under `physical()` mounts.

-## 8. How the spec is checked (test methodology)
-
-- **Test infrastructure must not re-implement other tools** `[ruling: real tools only]`. Tests of
-  behaviour that a bundler, a framework or an HMR runtime decides drive the real supported tools — real dev servers
-  with the real framework plugins, the real HMR client, real `react-dom`/Solid/Vue runtimes, real production builds —
-  and observe page/build/runtime outcomes. No copies of Vite/webpack/Rspack/React update-propagation, Refresh-family,
-  tree-shaking or runtime logic in the oracle. Server code runs inside real requests through Start's server entry
-  (no hand-built request context). Thin glue only at unavoidable external boundaries (the network); each stand-in
-  has a documented contract and its own contract test, and is replaced by the real package when feasible.
-- **Public entry points only.** Acceptance tests reach the compilers through the plugins and options a user
-  configures (Vite, Rsbuild, Rspack and webpack builds and dev servers, or the public Vite plugin driven in-process),
-  never through internal modules, classes, ids or queries. No exception remains (the last one, an updater test
-  driving the emitted route HMR function, was deleted `[ruling: Q5]`).
-- **Assert at the level where the outcome is decided** `[ruling: first review rulings]`: compiler-level tests assert what the compiler
-  alone decides (semantics, identity, validity, server code absent, chunk contents it emits within J2.5's D5
-  boundary, warnings); bundle-level placement, DCE and dangling names are asserted on production output per bundler
-  with side-effect hints varied (G2, G8); HMR with the real dev tools (above).
-- **Assert behaviour, not mechanism**: through real importers (P1), rendered output, calls,
-  ids compared across envs, source-map-resolved positions; never generated names, export lists, printed text,
-  statement order or which equally correct module a binding lands in (§5).
-- **Limitations get two tests** `[ruling: limitation tests]`: a loosened regression test (correct output; user informed when
-  not split) and a `.fails` goal test for the ideal outcome; best-effort cases get only the loosened test.
-- **Unsupported inputs** (2.2) get at most a "never fail silently" test; no test for behaviour ruled undefined.
-- **Reachability before pinning** (repository `AGENTS.md`; `[ruling: shellComponent, R-09]`): a pin needs a
-  real-usage path to the failing state; equal-mtime double saves and the webpack stale-id preference stay
-  report-only until shown reachable with real tools.
-- **Pins have a compiler cause.** A `.fails` pin asserts the correct outcome, fix-agnostically, and is verified red
-  for the right reason. Its cause is in a compiler or its bundler integration (§1.2 "Runtime bugs").
-  `[ruling: runtime bugs]`
-- **Type-invalid inputs are not supported inputs.** Source the package's public types reject (a `tsc` error under
-  the project's real declarations, e.g. `split="false"`, a string-returning `when`, a childless `<Hydrate>`,
-  missing builder arguments, an unannotated `string[][]` grouping) may appear only as labelled
-  never-fail-silently diagnostic controls (G5), never as evidence that a supported form works or is rejected.
-
-- **Client artifacts run in a real browser; server artifacts in Node.** Copying a DOM implementation's globals onto
-  Node is not a browser and can hide or fake environment-dependent behaviour (G13).
-- **No internal controls.** Tests of harness helpers, exported internals (§1.2), plugin lifecycle, debug output or
-  filesystem policy are not part of the suite: they give no clause coverage and would block a correct rewrite
-  `[ruling: oracle tests only]`.
-- **Dev-server edits are realistic.** The app's files exist before the dev server starts (as in a real project), and
-  a compile counts for an edit only if it started after the edit's last write. A multi-file edit (moving
-  `src/lib.ts` to `src/lib/index.ts`) passes through in-between states that a dev server may compile and report:
-  tests assert the state after the last write (a report since the edit that gives a resolved path names the new target), not an exact
-  report list that excludes the in-between states. `[ruling: Rsbuild dev-server edits]`
-- **Original source in code frames.** Code frames are not checked (§5.7): a location is checked by its file, line
-  and column. `[ruling: valid alternative compilers; diagnostics: file and position only]`
+## 8. How the spec is checked
+
+- **Real tools only.** Behaviour a bundler, framework or HMR runtime decides is tested with the real tools: real dev
+  servers with the real framework plugins, the real HMR client, real `react-dom`/Solid/Vue runtimes, real production
+  builds. No copy of Vite, webpack, Rspack or React update propagation, Refresh families, tree-shaking or runtime
+  logic in the tests. Server code runs inside real requests through Start's server entry and a real router; no
+  hand-built request context. Thin glue only at unavoidable external boundaries, each with its own control test.
+- **Public entry points only.** Tests reach the compilers through the plugins and options a user configures (Vite,
+  Rsbuild, Rspack and webpack builds and dev servers, or the public Vite plugin in-process), never through internal
+  modules, classes, ids or queries.
+- **Assert where the outcome is decided.** Compiler-level tests assert what the compiler alone decides (semantics,
+  identity, validity, absent server code, what its split modules contain within J2.5, warnings); placement,
+  dead-code elimination and dangling names are asserted on production output per bundler with side-effect hints
+  varied (G2, G8); HMR with the real dev tools.
+- **Assert behaviour, not mechanism**: through real importers, rendered output, calls, ids compared across envs and
+  source-map-resolved positions; never generated names, export lists, printed text, statement order or which equally
+  correct module a binding lands in (§5).
+- **Limitations get two tests**: a loosened test of the safe fallback (correct output; the user informed when not
+  split) and a `.fails` goal pin for the ideal outcome. Best-effort cases get only the loosened test.
+- **Unsupported inputs** (§2.2) get at most a "never fail silently" test; no test for behaviour that is undefined.
+- **Reachability before pinning**: a pin needs a real-usage path to the failing state. Equal-mtime double saves and
+  the webpack stale-id preference stay untested until shown reachable with real tools (§9).
+- **Pins have a compiler cause.** A `.fails` pin asserts the correct outcome, accepts any correct fix (and the clear
+  error a clause allows instead of support), and has its cause in a compiler or its bundler integration (§1.2).
+- **Type-invalid inputs are not supported inputs.** Source the public types reject (a `tsc` error under the
+  project's real declarations, e.g. `split="false"`, a string-returning `when`, a childless `<Hydrate>`, missing
+  builder arguments) may appear only as never-fail-silently controls (G5), never as evidence that a form works.
+- **Client code runs in a real browser; server code in Node.** A DOM implementation's globals copied onto Node are not
+  a browser.
+- **No internal tests.** Tests of test helpers, exported internals (§1.2), plugin lifecycle, debug output or
+  filesystem policy are not part of the suite.
+- **Dev-server edits are realistic.** The app's files exist before the dev server starts, and a compile counts for an
+  edit only if it started after the edit's last write. A multi-file edit (moving `src/lib.ts` to `src/lib/index.ts`)
+  passes through in-between states a dev server may compile and report: tests assert the state after the last write
+  (a report since the edit that gives a resolved path names the new target), not an exact report list.

-# Compiler test infrastructure
+# Compiler test harness
+
+Shared by the compiler test suites of router-generator, router-plugin, start-plugin-core, react-start-rsc and this
+package. What the suite is and how to read it: [oracle/README.md](oracle/README.md). The contract the tests cite:
+[oracle/SPEC.md](oracle/SPEC.md).
+
+## Hard rules
+
+- Real tools only: real Vite, Rsbuild, Rspack and webpack builds and dev servers, the framework's own plugin, the
+  real HMR client and renderer. Never copy a tool's logic into a test.
+- Reach a compiler only through public entry points: the plugins and options a user configures. No compiler
+  internals, module ids, queries, generated names, printed code or chunk layout.
+- Client code runs in a real browser (`runClient`, `runInPage`, `openPage`); server code in Node, inside real requests
+  through Start's server entry. No jsdom, no fake `window` or `import.meta.hot`.
+- No tests of the helpers' internals; this package's own tests are controls of the harness.
+- Tests never write into the repository. Apps live in the run's temp dir (`./app-directory`); checked-in fixtures run
+  on a copy (router-generator `copyFixture`).
+- Diagnostics are checked by severity, file and position only, never by wording.
+- Edits settle on their outcome within one bound, never on counts of events, compiles or updates.
+
+## Helpers
+
+- `./plugin-host` (`createPluginHost`): the public Vite plugins on a real Vite dev server (server code through the
+  environment's module runner, client code in the browser) and `vite build`.
+- `./rsbuild-plugin-host` (`createRsbuildPluginHost`): the same through Rsbuild's JavaScript API.
+- `./build-harness`: real builds (Vite, Rsbuild, Rspack, webpack), with provenance of emitted modules and the
+  dangling-name check (SPEC G8).
+- `./dev-server`, `./rsbuild-dev-server`: dev servers on a temp app with `edit`/`settle`; `closeViteServer`.
+- `./browser`: Chromium pages; `runInPage` (bounded run pages, a fresh document per run), `openPage`.
+- `./hmr-sync` (`settlePage`): whether a page reloaded or updated in place, told by the page.
+- `./outcome` (`waitForOutcome`): wait for an edit's outcome within one bound.
+- `./diagnostic-channel`, `./diagnostics` (`expectDiagnostic`, `expectNoProblems`): every reporting channel merged;
+  checks by severity, file and position.
+- `./importers` (`importerSource`, `loadMarker`, `expectNotLoaded`): real importers and load markers.
+- `./free-names`, `./known-globals`: a module's free names (Yuku), minus the environment's globals.
+- `./global-trap`: trap a page's dev-only globals (SPEC G7).
+- `./source-maps`: map assertions through `@jridgewell/trace-mapping`.
+- `./determinism`: compare builds across roots and orders (SPEC G4).
+- `./app-directory` (`createAppDirectory`, `servedDirectories`): temp app directories that resolve like the package.
+- `./run-directory` (Vitest `globalSetup`): the run's temp dir, removed when the run ends.
+- `./test-scope` (`currentTest`, `onTestFinished`) with `./test-scope-setup` (`setupFiles`): per-test resources in
+  concurrent files.
+- `./workspace-packages`: link built `@tanstack/*` packages into test apps (not declared, to avoid Nx cycles).
+- `./run-node`, `./strict-runner`: run built output in a child Node; Vite's module runner with strict named imports.
+
+Package hosts build on these: router-plugin `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`), start-plugin-core
+`tests/start-host.ts` (`useStartHost`). Start apps use `tanstackStart()` of the built framework package
+(`tests/start-plugins.ts`), entries only through `client.entry`/`server.entry`.
+
+## Running
 
-Replacing or rewriting a compiler? Start with [oracle/README.md](oracle/README.md): its status (measured after the repair), how tests reach the compilers, the lanes, the pending user rulings, then the spec the tests cite, the rulings and the known bugs.
-
-Shared by the compiler test suites (router-plugin, start-plugin-core, router-generator, react-start-rsc and this package). Each has a fast tier (`test:unit`) and a slow tier (`test:integration`, `tests/integration/`); start-plugin-core and react-start-rsc also run main's noncompiler tests with `test:noncompiler` (see below).
-
-## Running a slice
-
-- One file or one test name, through Nx (dependencies come from Nx's cache; the target reruns when a file changed). Paths are relative to the package:
-
-  ```sh
-  CI=1 NX_DAEMON=false pnpm nx run @tanstack/router-plugin:test:unit --outputStyle=stream --skipRemoteCache -- tests/code-splitter-scope.test.ts -t "unlike computed keys"
-  ```
-
-  Edit to result for one fast-tier file is about 5 s in router-plugin and start-plugin-core (about 8 s for the first one in a session). A file path is a substring filter: `tests/compiler.test.ts` also runs `tests/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`.
-
-- Each package's `vite.config.ts` caps a Vitest run at 4 workers (`maxWorkers: 4`): Nx runs several tiers at once, and each worker runs real bundlers, dev servers and its own browser. `--maxWorkers=<n>` after `--` overrides it.
-- Never put `|` inside a `-t` filter: Nx passes the arguments through a shell, so it becomes a pipe and orphans Vitest workers. Run one command per filter.
-- Leave out `--skip-nx-cache` while iterating: it rebuilds every dependency. Use it for final validation, on whole tiers.
-- Do not run Vitest directly: it can test a stale `dist` of a dependency.
-- Slow tier: at most two runs on the machine at once. Gate on the Vitest processes (the `[v]` keeps the loop from matching itself):
-
-  ```sh
-  until [ "$(pgrep -fc '[v]itest --project integration')" -lt 2 ]; do sleep 30; done; <nx command>
-  ```
-
-## Which helper for a new or rerouted test
-
-- Drive a compiler only through the public plugins a user configures: `./plugin-host` (`createPluginHost`, Vite: server code through the environment's module runner, client code in a run page, `vite build`) and `./rsbuild-plugin-host` (`createRsbuildPluginHost`, Rsbuild's JavaScript API). No hook recorders, module ids, queries or hand-registered routes.
-  - A Vite host with `client: true` listens (on `127.0.0.1`, as every harness server: FINAL-PASS #56), serves a page the plugins transform (`transformIndexHtml`), pre-bundles dependencies, and keeps an idle HMR client connected for its lifetime, so a full reload sent between runs reaches no later run's page.
-  - Configure an app as its config file does: Start's plugin is `tanstackStart()` of the built framework package (start-plugin-core `tests/start-plugins.ts`), next to the framework's own plugin (`@vitejs/plugin-react`, `@rsbuild/plugin-react`, `vite-plugin-solid`, `@vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx`), never a hand SWC or JSX configuration; entries through Start's `client.entry`/`server.entry`.
-  - The packages' own hosts build on these and are shared within a test process: router-plugin `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`: hosts leased to one test at a time, one per configuration, free hosts beyond `freeHostLimit` closed) and start-plugin-core `tests/start-host.ts` (`useStartHost`/`useStartHosts`: one host per file and options, taken before the file's tests and given back after them).
-- Client semantics run in a real browser: `runClient` of a host, or `runInPage` of `./browser` (a page of the test process's run pages, held by the run alone, a fresh document per run). Nothing evaluates client code in Node (no module linker or renderer stand-ins). A built server bundle is run as a host runs it: imported by Node and served over HTTP (start-plugin-core `tests/integration/start-compose-app.ts`). A dev server's `load()` follows Vite's own module graph (static and lazy imports), not a parse of the served code.
-- What a test process opens in its one browser is bounded (FINAL-PASS #40): `runInPage` runs on at most `runPageLimit` pages (runs of concurrent tests beyond that wait), `openPage` keeps at most `openPageLimit` pages open (a test asking for more waits until one closes). `runInPage` returns only once the run's page left the run's document: what the dev server sends after the run (a full reload after the test's edit) reaches no page a later run gets.
-- Tests never write into the repository. An app is a temporary directory that stands in for the directory the harness names (`dir`, a package's `tests/`): `./app-directory` mirrors the path of `dir` below the repository's root in a temporary directory, with the `node_modules` directories above `dir` linked at their mirrored places (imports resolve to the same real paths, one copy of each package), `dir`'s `tsconfig.json` and its package.json's `type` and `sideEffects`. The harnesses create their apps there (`createApp`); a test that writes an app of its own takes its directory from `createAppDirectory(dir, prefix)`, and runs a Vite server of it with `cacheDir` in the app and `server.fs.allow: await servedDirectories(root)`. A test of checked-in files (router-generator's fixtures) runs on a copy (`copyFixture`), and so do their type tests. A project with such apps lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/run-directory` in `globalSetup`: the run's directory (the apps, the route generator's temporary files through `TSR_TMP_DIR`), removed when the run ends.
-- Per-test resources in a helper (a leased host, a page, an app) belong to the test of `./test-scope` (`currentTest()`, `onTestFinished`), not Vitest's global `onTestFinished`: in a concurrent file the global one names the test that started last. A project that uses them lists `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/test-scope-setup` in `setupFiles` (it also gives each test file the process environment and working directory it started with).
-- Diagnostics: read every channel at once (`./diagnostic-channel`: console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's logger, bundler compilations; the dev harnesses' `diagnostics`). "Nothing reported" is `expectNoProblems`. A diagnostic is checked by its severity, the file it names and the position it reports, never by its wording (`./diagnostics` `expectDiagnostic`; ruling 2026-10-22).
-  - Each channel gets its own work's output, also what a bundler's native callbacks print (Rolldown hooks, Rspack hooks): by the app root it names, or as the only work open; otherwise every open channel gets it, marked `shared`. A compilation's report is recorded once, from the compilation, not again from Rsbuild's logger. The Rsbuild hosts stay quiet in the terminal and the page (`logLevel` and `dev.client.logLevel` `silent`); never raise them to see Rsbuild's output.
-- Edits settle on their outcome within one bound (`./outcome` `waitForOutcome`, the dev harnesses' `edit`/`settle`), never on counts of events, compiles or updates. Whether a Vite dev page reloaded or applied an update in place is judged once the page handled everything the server sent, including what its own `invalidate()` calls made the server send (`./hmr-sync` `settlePage`), never by a time bound. A wait that starts once the hosts handled the edit may also end, as a failure, once every host stayed quiet without the outcome for a while (`failWhenQuietFor`): the edit reached its final state.
-
-## Corpus and noncompiler tests
-
-The compiler test corpus is an oracle: a compiler that passes every corpus test should be a good compiler, and a correct compiler built differently should pass it (oracle/README.md, "Status"). Do not change a test's assertions, inputs or expected outcomes to fit a compiler; report a test that a correct compiler cannot pass instead.
+```sh
+CI=1 NX_DAEMON=false pnpm nx run @tanstack/router-plugin:test:unit --outputStyle=stream --skipRemoteCache -- tests/code-splitter-scope.test.ts -t "unlike computed keys"
+```
 
-- The corpus runs real tools and asserts observable outcomes only, entering the compilers through public entry points. There is no lane for tests of today's implementation (internal functions, printed bytes, log policy, perf counters) and no tests of a compiler package's own test helpers: such tests are deleted, not moved (rulings 2026-10-22). This package's own tests are controls of the shared harness.
-- **Selection** (router-plugin, start-plugin-core, router-generator: Vitest projects in `vite.config.ts`):
-  - `test:unit` (project `unit`) and `test:integration` (project `integration`, plus `integration-pages` in router-plugin and start-plugin-core) select the corpus: every test file except main's noncompiler tests (below).
-  - `integration-pages` (files under `tests/integration/pages/`) is slow-tier acceptance like `integration`: page tests of the fast tier's kind (router-plugin route apps, start-plugin-core `<Hydrate>` and import forms) whose cost does not fit the fast tier's budget. Its tests run concurrently within a file (`sequence.concurrent`): each holds its own leased host (router-plugin `route-app.ts`) or its own pages of the file's host (start-plugin-core `start-host.ts`). router-plugin's `unit` runs the same way.
-  - The projects with browser pages and the `integration` projects of router-plugin and start-plugin-core keep modules across the test files of a worker (`isolate: false`): the browser, and hosts a file gives back, serve later files. A file must leave nothing behind but what the harness owns (it gets its environment back from the setup file).
-- **Main's own tests.** The corpus is the compilers' test suite. Main's tests of features that are not compilers (start-plugin-core: Start manifest, sitemap, prerender, CSRF config, schema, entry planning, post-build, output directory, watch-ignored, `createVirtualModule`, dev styles, utils; react-start-rsc: the RSC runtime components, streams, `createRscProxy` and the type tests) stay at main's paths with main's content, untouched: each package lists them in `tests/noncompiler-tests.json`, which its `noncompiler` Vitest project selects (`test:noncompiler`) and the corpus projects and (start-plugin-core) ESLint leave out. Root `test:pr`/`test:ci`, root `pnpm test` and compiler-platform CI run the lane. Do not edit these files for the oracle; a new noncompiler test of main's kind goes next to them and into the list. Main's tests of today's compiler internals (internal functions called directly, exact output text and snapshots, internal classes) are deleted: the corpus covers their behaviour through public entry points. RSC compiler acceptance currently lives entirely in integration.
-- Budgets (`test-budgets.json`) cover the corpus tiers; the noncompiler projects have none.
+- Always through Nx, one command at a time. A file path is a substring filter.
+- 4 workers by default (`maxWorkers` in each `vite.config.ts`).
+- No `|` inside `-t`; run one command per filter.
+- `--skip-nx-cache` only for measurements.
+- Slow tier: at most two `test:integration` runs on the machine at once:
+  `until [ "$(pgrep -fc '[v]itest --project integration')" -lt 2 ]; do sleep 30; done`.
+- Tiers: `test:unit` (in process, the inner loop); `test:integration` (`tests/integration/`: real builds, dev servers,
+  browser pages; `tests/integration/pages/` is the `integration-pages` project). `integration` projects keep modules
+  across files (`isolate: false`): a file leaves nothing behind but what the harness owns.
 
 ## Budgets
 
-`test-budgets.json`: per package, a target and a hard limit for each tier at 4 workers (the configs' default); 15 s for any slow-tier file (`integration` and `integration-*` projects); 10 s from edit to result for one fast-tier file, Nx included. `src/budget-reporter.ts` prints the comparison after every run and never fails it (times move with the machine's load). Other worker counts (CI, one worker) are reported only.
-
-To enforce the budgets, run a whole tier in strict mode on a quiet machine (1-minute load below 4, no other test runs). It fails over a hard limit or the per-file limit:
+`test-budgets.json`: per package and tier, a target and a hard limit at 4 workers; 15 s per slow-tier file; 10 s from
+edit to result for one fast-tier file. `src/budget-reporter.ts` reports after every run. To enforce, run a whole tier
+on a quiet machine (1-minute load below 4, no other test run):
 
 ```sh
-until awk '{exit !($1<4)}' /proc/loadavg && [ "$(pgrep -fc '[v]itest --project integration')" -eq 0 ]; do sleep 20; done
 COMPILER_TEST_BUDGETS=strict CI=1 NX_DAEMON=false pnpm nx run <project>:test:integration --outputStyle=stream --skipRemoteCache --skip-nx-cache
 ```
 
-Keep `--skip-nx-cache` there: a replay from Nx's cache is not a measurement.
+A run with a failed test or file is not a measurement. A tier over budget is fixed (shared hosts, bounded pages,
+moving page tests to `integration-pages`), not re-budgeted or sharded.
+
+## Setup facts
 
-A run in which a test file failed (a failed test, or a file that did not load) is not a measurement either: strict mode fails it as invalid, and report-only mode says its times are not a measurement.
+- Framework packages and tools are test-only devDependencies (`solid-js`, `vite-plugin-solid`, `@rsbuild/plugin-react`,
+  `@rsbuild/plugin-solid` ≥ 1.2.2, `@vitejs/plugin-react`, `@vitejs/plugin-vue`, `miniflare`, …).
+- The integration targets build `@tanstack/react-start` first (linked at test time).
+- Harness servers listen on `127.0.0.1` and never pass port 0 to Vite or Rsbuild (Rsbuild runs in middleware mode on
+  the harness's own server).
+- The Rsbuild hosts stay silent (`logLevel` and `dev.client.logLevel` `silent`); read output through the diagnostic
+  channel.

 # Known bugs of today's compilers
 
-The oracle pins every known bug of the current compilers as a `.fails` test: the test asserts the correct
-outcome, fix-agnostically, and fails on today's code. This index is generated from the pins themselves (each
-`.fails` test and its `Bug:` / `Source:` comment). The test file is the source of truth; search it for the
-scenario name. `$name`, `%s` and `${…}` in a scenario are row placeholders of a table test, which often covers
-several bundlers, frameworks or shapes.
-
-When a pin starts passing, the bug is fixed: remove its `.fails` (Vitest reports it as "Expect test to fail"). A
-correct new compiler may pass many pins at once; that is expected.
-
-Each entry's "Cause" names the product source its comment blames, when it does. It points to today's
-implementation, so a rewrite may have no such file. Most root causes are shared by several pins; the bug text then
-says "same root cause as above".
-
-Counts: 363 pin sites in 100 test files (a table test counts once here; Vitest counts each row).
-
-## Pins by compiler job
-
-### J1 Route file upkeep and route generation (router-generator, generator wiring in router-plugin)
-
-30 pins.
-
-#### `router-generator/tests/deny-route-group-config.test.ts`
-
-- **a (group).tsx route file is reported by name or routes correctly: $name.** The generator rejects a `(group).tsx` route file with an error that names the file relative to the routes directory (`(group).tsx`, `nested/(group).tsx` for `src/routes/nested/(group).tsx`), neither absolute nor project-relative (SPEC §5.7; ruling "file names in diagnostics"); it neither warns with the file's name nor routes the app. Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/physical/getRouteNodes.ts`.
-
-#### `router-generator/tests/generator-dev.test.ts`
-
-- **deleting a layout route keeps its child routes in the route tree.** After a layout route file is deleted, its child routes disappear from the route tree of a running generator, while a fresh run keeps them (under the root route). Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-- **a deleted route tree is written again on its delete event.** A deleted route tree file is not written again: neither on its delete event, nor on the next route change, whose run fails with ENOENT. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-- **after the route tree is deleted, adding a route writes the route tree.** Same as the row above: a deleted route tree file is not written again, and the next route change fails with ENOENT. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-- **editing the virtualRouteConfig file updates the route tree.** Edits to the file `virtualRouteConfig` points to are ignored by a running generator: its update event is dropped (the absolute event path is compared with the configured relative path), and the config module is loaded from jiti's cache anyway. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`, `router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts`.
-- **a route created while an update event that changed nothing is checked joins the route tree.** An event that arrives while a run checks events that changed nothing is dropped: that run ends without looking at the events queued meanwhile, so the created route is not added. In webpack's watch mode, a route file created just after the first build (when webpack rebuilds for the route tree the generator wrote) is neither scaffolded nor routed until another route file changes. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-
-#### `router-generator/tests/generator-options.test.ts`
-
-- **an empty .ts route file is scaffolded, and the other routes still generate.** An empty .ts route file is scaffolded with the route template, which renders JSX; the generator then parses the scaffolded file as plain TypeScript (no JSX) and the run fails with "Error transforming route file". Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-- **importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths imports the lazy route files by absolute paths too.** With importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths, the route tree still imports lazy route files (and lazy components) by paths relative to itself; only the eager route file imports are absolute. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`, `router-generator/src/utils.ts`.
-- **with tmpDir on another filesystem, the route file and the route tree are replaced atomically.** With `tmpDir` on another filesystem than the app (e.g. the app on a disk and TSR_TMP_DIR on a tmpfs), every publication fails: renaming the temporary file onto the route file or the route tree fails with EXDEV, and the run fails. A host without a second writable filesystem (`/dev/shm`) skips the pin. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-
-#### `router-generator/tests/integration/fixture-types-physical.test.ts`
-
-- **the "%s" route tree types its routes like the router.** A pathless layout in a route group directory (`(group-a)/_layout-a.tsx`, `(bar)/_bar.tsx`) is typed with `fullPath: ''` while the router gives it `/` (the same bug as the group layout pin of route-types.test.ts, `(marketing)/route.tsx`). Cause: `router-generator/src/utils.ts`.
-
-#### `router-generator/tests/integration/route-types.test.ts`
-
-- **the layout route of a route group directory has the full path of the router in the types.** The route tree types the layout route of a route group directory (`(marketing)/route.tsx`) with `fullPath: ''` in `FileRoutesByPath`, while the router gives it the full path `/` (real-router.test.ts, "the layout route of a route group directory adds no path segment"; a pathless layout, `_auth.tsx`, is typed `/`, and agrees). Cause: `router-generator/src/utils.ts`.
-
-#### `router-generator/tests/known-bugs.test.ts`
-
-- **a moved route with an aliased import of the constructor gets the id of its new path.** The route constructor call is recognized by its callee name, apart from its import: an aliased import (`createFileRoute as route`) is not recognized.
-- **a moved route importing createFileRoute from a module of the app stays a valid module.** Same root cause as above, for `createFileRoute` imported from a module of the app (a wrapper re-exporting it): no import from the router package names it, so the generator prepends one, next to the user's import of the same name. Cause: `router-generator/src/transform/transform.ts`.
-
-#### `router-generator/tests/real-router.test.ts`
-
-- **a pathless layout with only a lazy route file keeps its directory path.** A pathless layout with only a lazy route file (`settings/_layout.lazy.tsx`, no `settings/_layout.tsx`) gets no `path` in the route tree, so the router drops the `/settings` prefix its directory gives it: the child matches `/profile`, not `/settings/profile`. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-
-#### `router-generator/tests/route-file-upkeep.test.ts`
-
-- **a createFileRoute $name keeps its meaning: the file is left as it is, or reported.** The generator recognises route constructors by name: a route file whose `createFileRoute` is the app's own (declared in the file or imported from another module of the app) gets the router package's instead (an import from './-factory' is rebound to the router package; a declared one gets a router import next to it), and the id argument of the app's call is rewritten. Cause: `router-generator/src/transform/transform.ts`.
-
-#### `router-generator/tests/route-paths.test.ts`
-
-- **a pathless layout without child routes yet ($name) next to the index route is added to the route tree.** A pathless layout file without children yet (`_auth.tsx` or `_auth.lazy.tsx`) next to the index route fails the generator with "Conflicting configuration paths were found" for `/` (the layout's full path is `/`, like the index route's), although the layout matches no URL of its own. Cause: `router-generator/src/utils.ts`.
-- **a pathless layout in a directory under a route with only a lazy route file nests under that route.** A pathless layout one directory below a lazy-only route (`app/posts.lazy.tsx`, no `app/posts.tsx`, and `app/posts/drafts/_layout.tsx` with children) is attached to the next real ancestor (`/app`) instead of to the lazy-only route's virtual anchor `/app/posts`, so `/app/posts/drafts/child` renders without the `/app/posts` page around it (same rule as the control above: guide/code-splitting.md:222-224; ruling PIN-A; SPEC J1.14). Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-- **a pathless layout with only $name under a path keeps the path in the URLs of its children.** A pathless layout with a lazy route file only (`foo/_auth.lazy.tsx`, no `foo/_auth.tsx`) or a Vue piece only (`foo/_layout.component.vue`) becomes a route without a file whose node is typed `static`, and the route tree prints a `path` only for non-pathless nodes and for nodes typed `pathless_layout` (src/generator.ts, the `path:` option of `createUpdateRoutes`), so the layout loses the `/foo` prefix it carries when nothing above it is a route. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-- **a route file name with an apostrophe gets a route with it in its URL.** The route tree writes route file paths and route ids into single-quoted strings unescaped, so a route file whose name contains an apostrophe ends the string: the route tree does not parse and the run fails ("';' expected"). Cause: `router-generator/src/utils.ts`, `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-- **routes $ids get their own routes.** Routes whose paths differ only in characters that are not valid in an identifier (`-`, `_`, `$`, a space) or in letter case get the same variable in the route tree, which then declares it twice and fails to parse ("Identifier has already been declared"). Cause: `router-generator/src/utils.ts`.
-
-#### `router-generator/tests/route-pieces.test.ts`
-
-- **a component piece of a directory route (route.component.vue) is the component of the route.** The route file of a directory route is `route.ts` (the default `routeToken`), but a piece file next to it (`posts/route.component.vue`) keeps the `route` segment: route nodes strip only one suffix per file (src/filesystem/physical/getRouteNodes.ts, `suffixToStrip ?? lastRouteSegment`), the piece suffix here, so the piece belongs to a route `/posts/route` of its own. Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/physical/getRouteNodes.ts`.
-- **a .lazy.vue route file is the lazily loaded component of the route.** A `.lazy.vue` route file is wired as the route's lazy route (`.lazy(() => import('./routes/about.lazy.vue').then((d) => d.default))`, src/generator.ts, the `lazyComponentNode` branch), but a single-file component's default export is a component, not a lazy route: the router reads the lazy route's `options` (router-core load-client.ts), which the component does not have, so loading the route fails. Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`, `router-core/src/load-client.ts`.
-- **pieces of the root route only are lazy components of their default export.** When only the root route has piece files, the route tree calls `lazyRouteComponent` without importing it, and fails to load with "ReferenceError: lazyRouteComponent is not defined". Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-- **an empty .lazy.vue route file is not filled with TypeScript route code.** An empty `.lazy.vue` file is scaffolded like a `.lazy.tsx` file: the generator writes TypeScript route code (`import { h } from 'vue'`, `createLazyFileRoute(...)`) into the single-file component, which no Vue compiler accepts (src/generator.ts, scaffolding of empty route files; the other Vue pieces are left empty, the rows above). Cause: `router-generator/src/generator.ts`.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/dev-server-generator-watching.test.ts`
-
-- **an edit of the virtual route config file changes the live routes.** An edit of the file `virtualRouteConfig` names (path form, as the docs configure it: './routes.ts') never reaches the live routes: the generator drops the dev server's update event (it compares the absolute event path with the configured relative path) and would load the config module from jiti's cache anyway. Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts`.
-- **an edit of a \_\_virtual.ts file changes the live routes.** An edit of a `__virtual.ts` subtree config never reaches the live routes: the route tree keeps the subtree the dev server started with. Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts`, `router-generator/src/filesystem/physical/getRouteNodes.ts`.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-rsbuild-generator-physical.test.ts`
-
-- **a route file created under a physical() mount outside the routes directory reaches the live routes.** A route file created under a `physical()` mount outside the routes directory never runs the generator: the generator's own watcher watches the routes directory only, and the new file is in no bundle yet. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/router-generator-plugin.ts`.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-rsbuild-generator.test.ts`
-
-- **a created route file the generator cannot parse is reported, and fixing it adds the route.** A created route file the generator leaves out of the route tree (it cannot parse it) is not in the bundle, so the edit that fixes it never runs the generator. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/router-generator-plugin.ts`.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/rsbuild-dev-server-generator-watching.test.ts`
-
-- **an edit of the virtual route config file changes the live routes.** An edit of the file `virtualRouteConfig` names never reaches the live routes. Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts`.
-- **an edit of a \_\_virtual.ts file changes the live routes.** An edit of a `__virtual.ts` subtree config never reaches the live routes: the file is in no bundle and the generator's own watcher reports only created files; the config would also come from jiti's cache (see the Vite pin). Cause: `router-generator/src/filesystem/virtual/loadConfigFile.ts`.

-### J2 Route code splitting (router-plugin, router-utils)
-
-103 pins.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-imported-options.test.ts`
-
-- **are split, or reported once naming the route file.** The code splitter resolves the route options only from an object literal of the route file (`resolveIdentifier`, compilers.ts): for an imported binding it finds nothing, leaves the route untouched and says nothing. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **lose the options of deleteNodes and what only they import, or are reported once naming the route file.** Same cause; with Start's client `deleteNodes` the `server` option (and `ssr`, `headers`) stays in the route module with the helper it imports, silently.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-jsx.test.ts`
-
-- **gives separate loader and component chunks the one JSX component %s.** The identifier collection that decides what split options share takes a JSX tag whose first character equals its lowercase form for an intrinsic element (router-utils compiler-helpers.ts, `first === first.toLowerCase()`), which holds for `_`, `$` and non-ASCII lowercase letters, whereas JSX only treats tags starting with an ASCII lowercase letter as intrinsic. Cause: `router-utils/src/compiler-helpers.ts`.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-pragmas.test.ts`
-
-- **keeps a @jsxImportSource written after the imports as ineffective as in the untouched file (leading-pragma project).** The chunk of the split component starts with the pragma comment (the imports above it in the route file are gone from the chunk), so Oxc reads it there: the split component renders with Emotion's runtime where the untouched file renders with React's.
-- **keeps the pragma in effect in every module that contains JSX.** A split chunk that imports a binding it shares with the route module gets that import inserted above the file's leading pragma comment, and Oxc (Vite 8's JSX transform) only reads pragmas that lead the file.
-- **in the route module, when the code calling the factory is split.** The route module the code splitter emits starts with the code it adds (the split component's importer and the import of the router's lazy helper), above the file's leading pragma comments, and drops the factory import once the route module's only use of it is its JSX (dead-code elimination does not count a classic JSX pragma as a use of its factory: same root cause as the "classic JSX pragmas" pins of known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts).
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/build-harness.test.ts`
-
-- **router plugin with esbuild loads a split component lazily and renders it, or refuses the build (%s).** The esbuild adapter never runs the route generator in a build (its generator only initialises in `esbuild.config`; generation happens in `watchChange`), so the code splitter knows no route files and splits nothing.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/build-source-maps.test.ts`
-
-- **a throw in a split component maps to its line in the route file ($name).** Unplugin's webpack and Rspack transform loaders drop the source map the router plugin returns when no earlier loader passed one in, so the chunk maps to the code splitter's output (upstream). Cause: unplugin `dist/{webpack,rspack}/loaders/transform.mjs` (upstream).
-- **a throw in $name maps to its line and column in the route file.** Same upstream unplugin cause as the row above. Cause: unplugin `dist/{webpack,rspack}/loaders/transform.mjs` (upstream).
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/code-splitter-pragmas.test.ts`
-
-- **means in the split route what it means in the untouched route (Vite: Oxc ignores it).** The chunk of the split component starts with the pragma comment (the imports above it in the route file are gone from the chunk), so Oxc reads it there: the split component is styled by Emotion where the untouched route left the `css` prop as an attribute.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/code-splitter-router.test.ts`
-
-- **renders without a new request or a pending fallback once the router preloaded it.** The code splitter moves the already lazy value into a chunk of its own, so the route's component is a lazy component whose module exports another lazy component: the router's preload loads the outer chunk only, and the first render suspends (pending fallback) and requests the page module.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/code-splitter-runtime.test.ts`
-
-- **preserves executable route contracts with shared named-default declarations.** Shared extraction duplicates a named default function declaration.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/dev-source-maps.test.ts`
-
-- **the route module and every module derived from it map a throw to its line in the route file.** Unplugin's Rspack transform loader drops the source map the router plugin's `transform` returns when no earlier loader passed one in, and the router plugin's loader is the first of a route file (same upstream cause as the Rspack and webpack pins of build-source-maps.test.ts). Cause: unplugin `dist/rspack/loaders/transform.mjs` (upstream).
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-client-builds.test.ts`
-
-- **a component declared by an array destructuring of a call shared with the errorComponent is split or reported.** Once the pin above is fixed, the split option must also end up split, or the build must say why (decision D11).
-- **an exported errorComponent written as `PostErrorComponent as any` is one instance in the client (vite build).** Same as above, in a real client build whose entry imports the exported component (`export * from './routes/index'`): the component is in both the entry chunk and the split chunk, and the route renders the copy.
-- **a split component that an unused object names renders (vite).** Same root cause as above, for an unused module-level object that names the split component: the route module keeps the object but loses `Page`.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-client-output.test.ts`
-
-- **a client build has no server code of an `ssr()` method (vite).** Build-level canary of the method pin in pages/known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts (same root cause).
-- **a client build has no server code of options wrapped in `%s` (vite).** Build-level canary of the typed-wrapper pin in pages/known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts (same root cause: options wrapped in a cast or `satisfies` are not read; one bundler, as above).
-- **a client build of a symlinked route file has no server handler code (%s).** The code splitter looks route files up by the path the generator scanned (the symlink), but bundlers resolve modules to their real path, so a symlinked route file is never compiled: nothing is split or removed, silently.
-- **a production client bundle logs no development warning in the page when NODE_ENV is unset (%s).** The code splitter's `console.warn` (today: "will not be code-split") is injected into the route module unless the build process's `NODE_ENV` is `production`, instead of following the bundler's mode as the rest of the code splitter does.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-page-code.test.ts`
-
-- **$name loads with its chunk.** A split chunk keeps the route file's exported declarations that its option does not read (D5), and bundlers keep them. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **${exportedSharedByOptions.name} loads with its chunk.** Same as the row above (D5). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **a root route's %s loads lazily.** Root routes are never split (D12: root errorComponent/notFoundComponent should load lazily). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **${destructured.name} load with their chunk or are reported.** A component declared by a destructuring is not split, and nothing is reported (D11). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **${unreadExport.name} is not in its chunk.** A split chunk keeps an exported declaration nothing reads (D5). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-property-write.test.ts`
-
-- **a component the route file writes a property of loads with its chunk and renders the property ($hint).** The code splitter moves a component into its chunk but leaves a top-level write to it (`Page.displayName = ...`) in the route module, where `Page` is no longer declared: the entry throws "Page is not defined".
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-ssr-builds.test.ts`
-
-- **a let $name stays writable and the split component reads its value.** A `let` that code in another module than its declaration reassigns is imported there, read-only: a `let` the loader reassigns is shared, so the route module assigns to an import of the shared module; an exported `let` the split component reassigns stays in the route module, which the chunk imports it from ("Cannot assign to import").
-- **a split loader in object form with $name loads route data.** The object form `loader: { handler }` cannot be split: the virtual compiler throws "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: ObjectExpression".
-- **a split loader in object form passed by reference loads route data.** An object-form loader passed by reference (`loader` holding `{ handler }`) is split as if it were the loader function, so the route calls the object ("...
-- **the split component and other modules share an exported $name.** A split chunk declares its own copy of the exported functions and classes of the route file it reads (and of the private state they read), so another module of the app that imports them gets other instances than the split component.
-- **an app in a directory with # in its name builds and preloads a split component.** The route module imports its chunks by absolute file path with the split query (`<root>/routes/index.tsx?tsr-split=component`), and a `#` in the path is read as the start of a URL fragment.
-- **an app in a directory whose name contains what split module ids contain builds and preloads a split component.** The code splitter compiles every module whose id contains the marker of its split ids (today `tsr-split`: path text, not its query) as a split chunk, and throws "The split value for the virtual route ...
-- **an app in a directory with ' in its name builds and preloads a split component.** The route module's chunk importers are built by pasting the absolute file path into a single-quoted string (`import('${splitUrl}')`), so a `'` in the path ends the string early.
-- **an imported split component that head() reads renders, and head() reads it (%s build).** Same root cause as above, in a real build.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`
-
-- **a page loading the modules of the route file before the route module renders the edited route after $name.** The route module's transform computes the bindings that go to the shared module (`?tsr-shared=1`) and stores them by file; the shared and split transforms read that stored set instead of deriving it from the code they compile (router-code-splitter-plugin.ts `sharedBindingsMap`). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/router-code-splitter-plugin.ts`.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/code-splitter-imports-exports.test.ts`
-
-- **reads an ambient var merged with an interface from the environment in a shared declaration, with verbatimModuleSyntax.** The route module and the split chunk import the ambient var from the shared module (the interface of the same name stays in them and counts as a read of the shared binding), and the shared module has no runtime binding to export. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/code-splitter-module-state-bindings.test.ts`
-
-- **$name.** A class whose static initializer calls a function, read by the options of one split chunk only, is declared in that chunk and also kept in the route module, so the class is created twice.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/code-splitter-plugin-pipeline-routes.test.ts`
-
-- **a route built from $name renders what the factory was given, split or reported.** Route options that only exist inside the factory (its parameters, its locals) are split out of it as if they were module-level code: a split option that closes over a parameter throws a ReferenceError, a component declared in the factory leaves a chunk that exports an undeclared binding, and a parameter that shadows a module-level component makes the chunk render the module-level one.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings.test.ts`
-
-- **groupings declared in a module-level constant are honoured.** `codeSplitGroupings` must be written inline; a module-level constant holding the groupings is refused ("You must provide an array of arrays for the codeSplitGroupings").
-- **module state a method option shares with a split option is created once.** Shared bindings are computed from route options written as `key: value` only, so a binding that an option written as a method (kept in the route module) and a split option both read is not shared: the split chunk declares its own copy.
-- **a destructuring whose sibling reads Route keeps one cache for the loader and the component.** Bindings that depend on `Route` are never shared (`removeBindingsDependingOnRoute`), and a destructuring is never split across modules, so a `Map` declared next to a binding that reads `Route` is created by the route module and again by the chunk that reads it.
-- **a component read from $name renders.** A split option that is a global (no declaration in the module) or an ambient `declare const` is exported from the chunk under a name the chunk never declares ("Export '...' is not defined"), or the export is erased with the `declare`.
-- **a split component renders through the factory of a classic JSX pragma.** Dead-code elimination does not count a classic JSX pragma (`/** @jsx jsx */`) as a use of the factory it names, so a chunk whose only use of the factory is its JSX drops the factory import.
-- **a split component renders through $name.** Same root cause as above, for a chunk with only fragments (the @jsxFrag factory too) and a pragma written with two spaces.
-- **a factory the route module creates and the loader reads is created once for the split component ($name).** The shared-binding analysis does not count the JSX of a split option as a read of the classic JSX factory it compiles to, so a factory that the route module creates and the loader reads is not shared with the split component: the chunk drops it (same root cause as the pin above), and keeping it in the chunk without sharing it creates it again there.
-- **an exported component ($name) that is the only split candidate is split or reported as not code-split.** The "will not be code-split" warning is only reported when the code splitter changes the route module.
-- **an exported function that reads Route is the one the split component calls.** The entry's `useTitle` and the one the split component calls are two functions: a binding that reads `Route` is never shared (`removeBindingsDependingOnRoute`), so the chunk declares a copy of the exported function.
-- **a split component reads the route the route module exports through export { Route }.** A split component that reads a `Route` declared with `const` and exported later (`export { Route }`) gets a chunk that creates the route again instead of importing it from the route module.
-- **a split option renders the default-exported component other modules import.** A route whose component is a default-exported function (which stays in the route module) that another split option renders cannot be compiled: the code splitter throws "Duplicate declaration \"Bar\"".
-- **a split component renders the exported component of another option that reads Route ($name).** The code splitter deletes the exported declaration of an option's component from every chunk, so a split component that renders the exported component of another option, which reads `Route`, renders an undeclared binding ("NotFound is not defined").
-- **a default-exported function the loader and the split component call works on one state.** A default-exported function declaration that the loader and a split component both call cannot be compiled: Babel throws "Duplicate declaration" for it.
-- **a split loader exported through an export list keeps working.** A split loader that the route file also exports through an export list (`export { load }`) loses its declaration in the route module: "Export 'load' is not defined".
-- **an exported errorComponent written as `%s` is the instance its importers get.** An exported component named by a split option is only recognised as an export when the option is a bare identifier. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **a decorator after `export` compiles.** The code splitter rejects an ES decorator after `export` (`export @dec class`, valid since TypeScript 5.0): "Decorators must be placed before the export keyword".
-- **a class with a parameter decorator that the split component uses compiles into parseable modules.** The code splitter cannot parse a constructor parameter decorator (TypeScript `experimentalDecorators`, as dependency injection libraries use them) and fails the build.
-- **a type-only import re-exported as `export { Settings }` is erased (%s).** A type-only import re-exported without `type` (`export { Settings }`, which TypeScript accepts unless verbatimModuleSyntax is on) loses its import in the route module and the split chunks, which keep the export that the TypeScript transform can then no longer erase.
-- **split chunks do not import what only $name reads.** A value import that only types read (TypeScript erases it) is copied into every split chunk when the types that read it stay in the route module.
-- **a namespace the split component reads keeps its body.** The split chunk declares a namespace the split component reads without its body.
-- **an asserted update operand keeps its parentheses in a split component.** The split chunk prints a type assertion used as an update target without its parentheses (`count as number++`), which does not parse.
-- **an asserted conditional test keeps its parentheses in a split component.** The split chunk prints a type assertion that is the test of a conditional whose branch starts with a unary minus without its parentheses (`a as any ? -x : y`), which does not parse (`any ? -x` reads as the start of a conditional type). Cause: `router-utils/src/ast.ts`.
-- **an overloaded function the route module and a split loader share keeps working.** The overload signatures of a function that the route module and a split chunk share stay in both modules, next to the import of the shared function, and the TypeScript transform then takes them for the binding's declaration and drops the import (dead-code elimination never removes overload signatures).
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-server.test.ts`
-
-- **a split component that $name reads renders from both.** When a route option names a binding that the code splitter moves into a chunk, the splitter deletes the binding's declaration from the route module (`removeIdentifierLiteral`), even when other code there still reads it.
-- **a split component renders through a function $name.** Same root cause as above, for a function that module-level code keeps reachable: it renders the split component, whose declaration the route module lost.
-- **a component read by a split and an unsplit option renders from both.** Same root cause as above, for an unsplit option that names the split component.
-- **an unsplit option that reads the split component with typeof sees a function.** Same root cause as above, for an unsplit option that reads the split component (which reads `Route`, so it moves to its chunk) with `typeof`.
-- **a split component that a top-level call reads renders from both.** Same root cause as above, for a top-level call that reads the split component.
-- **an imported split component that head() reads renders, and head() reads it.** When a split option names an imported binding, the code splitter deletes its import specifier from the route module (`removeIdentifierLiteral` removes the binding without checking for other reads), then the emptied import, even when other code there still reads it: an unsplit option, an exported function or anything else. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **an imported split errorComponent that an exported component renders works for an importer.** Same root cause as above, for an exported component that renders the imported split one, used by another module of the app (ruling P1: through a real importer, not the export list).
-- **an imported pendingComponent split by custom groupings renders, and an unsplit option renders it.** Same root cause as above, for a pendingComponent that custom groupings split and an unsplit errorComponent renders.
-- **a class component declared in the route file renders (exported: $exported).** A route option that names a class cannot be split: the virtual compiler throws "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: ClassDeclaration".
-- **a class component and the imports of its static fields leave the route module.** Same root cause as above.
-- **a side-effect import of the split component's module runs when the route module loads.** When the split component is imported (`import { Page } from './Page'`), the code splitter also removes every bare import of that path from the route module (`removableImportPaths`), including the user's own `import './Page'`.
-- **a server-only option written as a method is removed with its imports (%s).** `deleteNodes` only removes route options written as `key: value` (`ObjectProperty`); a method (`ssr() {}`, `async ssr() {}`, `headers() {}`) is kept, with the imports it uses.
-- **a server-only option given through $name is removed, or the route is refused.** Server-only options whose key is not written literally in the route options (a spread, a computed key, options built by a call) are kept, with their imports, and nothing reports it.
-- **a server-only option of options wrapped in `%s` is removed with its imports.** A route whose options object is wrapped in a TypeScript cast or a `satisfies` (statically visible options, valid TypeScript) keeps its server-only options and their imports on the client.
-- **a local factory shadowing createFileRoute in a route file keeps its own semantics.** In a registered route file, the code splitter treats every call of a function named `createFileRoute` as the route's factory, including a local function shadowing the router's: it splits the options of that call too, so the local factory gets a lazy route component instead of the function it was given (and in a dev server, where route HMR is on, the route module loses that function's declaration and throws "LocalWidget is not defined" when it loads).

-- **a component is split with $name.** A route whose options object or factory call is wrapped in a TypeScript cast is not split at all, and a component wrapped in `satisfies` cannot be split: the virtual compiler throws "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: TSSatisfiesExpression".
-- **an option written as $name is split and works.** The virtual compiler accepts only a fixed list of expression types for the value of a split option; any other expression the route module splits makes the build throw "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: MemberExpression" (LogicalExpression, TaggedTemplateExpression, ClassExpression).
-- **a component written as $name is split and renders.** A component option written as a call cannot be split when its printed code does not parse on its own with Babel's default options: the virtual compiler prints the call and parses it again as a script statement, without JSX ("Support for the experimental syntax 'jsx' isn't currently enabled") and without TypeScript ("Unexpected token"). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **a component is split when createFileRoute is imported under an alias.** The code splitter only recognises `createFileRoute` under its own name, so a route whose factory is imported under an alias is not split, and nothing says so.
-- **a component is split when createFileRoute has a type argument.** The code splitter only compiles files whose code matches `createFileRoute(`, so a route whose factory call has a type argument (`createFileRoute<'/'>('/')`) is left as is, and nothing says so.
-- **route options returned by a call are split or reported.** Route options returned by a call (`createFileRoute('/')( makeOptions())`) are neither split nor reported.
-- **each of two file routes of one module renders its own component, or the module is reported.** A route file that creates two file routes compiles both routes' split options into the same chunk names, so one route renders the other's component, silently.
-- **a split chunk holds only what its option needs, not the other exports of the route file.** A split chunk keeps every exported `function`, `class` and `export default function` declaration of the route file, with the imports they use, whether its option reads them or not (`compilers.ts`, the virtual compiler keeps exported declarations). Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **split chunks do not re-export or declare the re-exports and default class of the route file.** Same root cause as above, for re-exports and a default-exported class: every split chunk re-exports them or declares the class again.
-- **a module without JSX does not import the classic factory ($name).** The route module keeps importing the classic JSX factory its pragma names after the JSX that compiles to it moved to a split chunk (D5 family).
-- **a component declared by an array destructuring of a call shared with the errorComponent renders.** A split option that names a binding declared by an array destructuring cannot be split: the virtual compiler throws "Unexpected splitNode type ☝️: VariableDeclarator".
-- **a route file binding named $name keeps its value.** The code splitter declares fixed names in the modules it emits (`SplitComponent`, `SplitLoader`) without checking that the route file does not use them.
-- **route file bindings named like what the compiled modules introduce keep their values.** As above, found adaptively, whatever names a compiler chooses: the top-level names the modules emitted for a route file declare that the same file, served untouched (an app module the router plugin does not compile, through the same framework transform), does not declare, given to bindings of the route file, keep their values in every split option.

-- **a binding read by a computed-key option and a split option is created once.** A binding that an option with a computed key and a split option both read is created twice: the computed-key option is not seen as a reader of the route module.
-- **a binding declared by $name and read by the loader and the split component is initialized once.** A `var` nested in a statement, an enum or a namespace is not shared.
-- **top-level writes to $name stay with the binding they write.** A top-level statement that writes a binding stays in the reference module when the binding moves to the shared module or a split chunk.
-- **module state that the reference module keeps for $name is initialized once.** Shared bindings are computed from the statically named route options only (`computeSharedBindings` skips computed keys), so a declaration that one split chunk reads and that the reference module keeps as well (for an export, a top-level call, another binding of the declaration, or a route option under a computed key, pinned above) is not shared: the chunk declares its own copy.
-- **an unreferenced top-level side effect ($name) runs once, with the route module.** Split chunks keep the top-level statements that nothing references, except expression statements that read only imports: dead-code elimination only removes what the split made unreferenced, and `stripUnreferencedTopLevelExpressionStatements` only strips expression statements that name no module-level binding. Cause: `router-utils/src/compiler-helpers.ts`, `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-- **split chunks do not re-export a module-level export \*, which importers of the route file still get.** Same root cause as above: every split chunk keeps the route file's `export * from './lib'`.
-- **an ambient declare const read by the loader and the split component stays a global.** An ambient `declare const` is handled as a module binding.
-- **the initializers of $name run when the route module loads.** The route module drops a declaration that only an exported type alias reads: it loses that reader when the code splitter removes the alias with the other exports, and the initializer then never runs.
-- **the initializer of a declaration only an exported type alias reads runs when a route module compiled for HMR loads.** Same as the type alias row above, in a route module compiled by the route HMR plugin (automatic code splitting off), which runs the same reference compiler.
-- **a split component and its imports leave the route module next to $name.** Page code that only the split component needs stays in the route module, with what it imports, when something there looks like a read of it: a type of the same name (TypeScript keeps types and values in separate namespaces), an overload signature or a second `var` declaration (dead-code elimination keeps them), or an unused function that renders it (one that renders the split component itself works: control in code-splitter-dead-code.test.ts).
-- **the handler of a split loader in object form with $name loads lazily.** Once the object form compiles (pins above), its handler must also end up split: a loader configured to be split that stays in the route module is our limitation, not a pattern the user can change (decision D11).
-- **a split loader in object form keeps $name working, created once.** Same root cause as the object-form pins above.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`
-
-- **keep a $name component exported as the route option value.** The code splitter moves a component the route module exports into its chunk and drops its export: a class cannot be split ("Unexpected splitNode type: ClassDeclaration") and loses its `export class`, and an aliased export list (`export { component as View }`) is left without its declaration (known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts "class components" and "a split component that an export alias reads renders from both").
-- **keep exported overloads and their aliases that unsplit and split options call.** The overload signatures of a function that the route module and a split loader share stay next to its import, and the alias loses the binding (known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts "an overloaded function the route module and a split loader share keeps working").

-- **a route with only server handlers is not in the client route tree.** Same Rsbuild parity bug, for option keys written as strings and a `Route` exported under an alias. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **a route with server handlers and these options is in the client route tree.** The route generator records only plain, non-computed, non-method option keys (`createFileRouteProps`), so a route with server handlers and only such client options is taken for server-only and pruned from the client route tree. Cause: `router-generator/src/transform/transform.ts`.
-- **the server handler code of the route is not in the client bundle.** Route options wrapped in a cast (`as never`, `as any`, `satisfies`) are not recognised: `deleteNodes` skips them and the generator records no keys, so the server handlers ship to the client. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.

-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compose-imported-options.test.ts`
-
-- **the client build never ships the server handlers of imported route options silently.** The code splitter resolves route options only from an object literal in the route file (`resolveIdentifier`, compilers.ts), so for an imported options object it neither splits nor deletes anything, and says nothing: Start's client build keeps `server.handlers` and ships the helper they read. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compose-project-path.test.ts`
-
-- **the client route tree leaves out the server-only route.** Start's Vite plugin matches the module to serve the client route tree for with `new RegExp(<path of the generated route tree>)` (vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts, `clientTreePlugin.load.filter`), the path unescaped, so under a path with `(`, `)` or `+` the expression never matches the file and the client gets the full tree. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **the client gets the file, not the client route tree.** The same unescaped `new RegExp(<path>)` (above): its `.` before `gen` matches any character, so `src/routeTree-gen.ts` is served the client route tree instead of its own code.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compose-server-only-routes.test.ts`

-- **the client route tree leaves out the server-only subtree.** Rsbuild: the server-only subtree stays in the client route tree (parity bug). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-router-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **the client route tree keeps the page whose component is spread in.** Vite: the generator misses a spread component, so Start takes the route for server-only and prunes it. Cause: `router-generator/src/transform/transform.ts`.
-- **client-side navigation to a server-only route finds nothing.** Rsbuild: the server-only route is in the client route tree, so navigation finds a route without a page.

-- **satisfies.** Inline component options that are not plain functions (`memo(...)`, `forwardRef(...)`, method shorthand, a function wrapped in a TypeScript `as` / `satisfies`) are neither hoisted nor registered for React Refresh, nor is the function they wrap; route HMR keeps the previous component for React Refresh to patch, which it cannot.
-- **vite: an edit of a split component declared lowercase as $name shows in place.** A lowercase split component declared as a variable keeps its name in its split chunk, and React Refresh registers PascalCase names only (a lowercase `function` declaration is renamed, a variable is not); route HMR keeps the lazy component for React Refresh to patch, which it cannot.
-- **vite: a lowercase function component that is also the unsplit pendingComponent renders, and an edit shows in place.** React HMR renames a lowercase `function` component in its split chunk, also when the component is the unsplit `pendingComponent` too, so the chunk exports a binding nothing declares (the in-process pin "a lowercase function component that is also the unsplit pendingComponent renders as both", known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts).
-- **vite: a split component exported by an export list renders, and an edit shows in place.** With React HMR, the code splitter moves a component exported by an export list (`export { page }`) into its chunk and leaves the export list in the route module (the in-process pin "a component exported by an export list renders for a module importing it and as the route component", known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts).
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-route-hmr-removals.test.ts`
-
-- **vite: an edit that removes a split option the page loaded applies in place without errors.** An edit that removes a split component option (here `errorComponent`, which the page had loaded) leaves its split module in Vite's module graph; Vite updates it with the rest of the route file, the code splitter serves it without any export or import, and `@vitejs/plugin-react` compiles that module's JSX as CommonJS (`require("react/jsx-dev-runtime")`).
-- **rsbuild without React Refresh: an edit of the route component shows in place (autoCodeSplitting: %s).** `handleRouteUpdate` keeps the previous component options for React Refresh to patch in place, also when no React Refresh runtime is installed (an Rsbuild React app with `pluginReact({ fastRefresh: false })`, or webpack / Rspack without a refresh plugin, like the webpack quickstart example with the default `addHmr`), so the new component never renders.
-- **a route exported under another local name is hot-updated in place.** The injected HMR code reads the route through the identifier `Route`, but a route may be declared under another name and exported as `Route` (`export { MyRoute as Route }`).
-- **vite: an inline pending component hoisted before a renamed lowercase component renders it.** React HMR hoists inline component options into declarations it inserts after visiting every option, and renames a lowercase component passed to a later option.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts`
-
-- **$bundler: an edit of a split $target route shows in place, keeping the split component.** Route HMR keeps the previous split components only for React: for Solid and Vue, the route module creates a new lazy component on every update and `handleRouteUpdate` keeps no component option (`getFrameworkHmrCompilerPlugins` returns no plugin and the kept component keys are empty for other targets); in Vite, the route module is not an HMR boundary either (its accept call is on an alias), so the page reloads.
-- **vite: an edit of an unsplit Vue route shows in place.** The Vite route HMR code calls `accept` on a local alias (`const hot = import.meta.hot`), and Vite only marks a module self-accepting when its code contains a literal `import.meta.hot.accept(`.
-- **rsbuild: an edit of an unsplit Solid route shows its new component in place.** On Rsbuild, an edit of an unsplit Solid route file (the route HMR plugin alone) shows its new loader data but keeps rendering the old component. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/hmr/webpack-adapter.ts`.
-- **%s: an edit of a route a helper function creates shows its new component, reloading only when the file is reported (autoCodeSplitting: false).** A route a helper function of the route file creates (`export const Route = makeRoute()`) edited without automatic code splitting (the route HMR plugin alone) shows its new loader data but keeps rendering the old inline component, and nothing warns: the route HMR code keeps the previous component for React Refresh to patch, but the component inside the helper is neither hoisted nor registered.
-- **vite: an edit of a React .ts route module shows its new loader data in place (autoCodeSplitting: %s).** Same root cause as the pin above, for a React route file without JSX (`.ts`): React Refresh registers no component in it, so it is not a boundary either.
-- **vite: an edit of a route component in an app without @vitejs/plugin-react shows in place (autoCodeSplitting: %s).** Same root cause, for a React app without `@vitejs/plugin-react` (Vite compiles the JSX itself; nothing registers React Refresh boundaries): the route module's own accept call is on an alias, so the page reloads on every edit.
-- **renaming the route component shows the renamed component in place (autoCodeSplitting: %s).** `handleRouteUpdate` keeps the previous component options for React Refresh to patch, also when the edit renamed the component (a new Refresh family that is never patched): the page keeps the old component until a reload. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/hmr/handle-route-update.ts`.
-- **rsbuild: an edit of a split loader (codeSplitGroupings: %s) shows its data in place.** On Rsbuild (Rspack), an edit that only changes a loader split from the route module (`codeSplitGroupings` with `loader` in a chunk) never reaches the page: the route module's code is unchanged, so Rspack does not run it again and the route HMR code (`webpack-adapter.ts`, in the route module only) never refreshes the route; the split loader module accepts no update of its own. Cause: `router-plugin/src/core/hmr/webpack-adapter.ts`.
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/known-bugs-route-hmr-bindings.test.ts`
-
-- **a route file importing a binding named Map renders with route HMR.** The React Refresh bookkeeping the router plugin injects for route HMR constructs a `Map`; a route file that imports a class of its own named `Map` (a map widget's) hands the injected code the user's class, and the route module throws when it loads (SPEC G15, J3.8).
-
-#### `router-plugin/tests/known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts`
-
-- **route options in a variable ($name) evaluate to a route with a component.** When the route options are passed through a variable, the HMR transforms replace `component` in the options object with a generated binding declared after the object that reads it.
-- **a user binding named hot ($name) does not collide with the injected HMR code.** Our `react-refresh-ignored-route-exports` compiler plugin injects a top-level `const hot = import.meta.hot` that collides with a user's top-level `hot` binding (compile error `Duplicate declaration "hot"`).
-- **a lowercase function component split into two chunks renders with the module state they share.** React HMR renames a lowercase `function` component in its split chunk even when the code splitter moved the component to the shared module, so the chunk exports `SplitComponent`, which nothing declares.
-- **a lowercase function component that is also the unsplit pendingComponent renders as both.** Same root cause as the pin above, for a lowercase component that the split `component` and the unsplit `pendingComponent` share.
-- **a component exported by an export list renders for a module importing it and as the route component.** With React HMR, the code splitter moves a component exported by an export list (`export { page }`) into its chunk and leaves the export list in the route module (same root cause as known-bugs-code-splitter.test.ts "a split component that an export list reads renders from both").

-
-- **when client code uses its name in $name.** These TypeScript positions named like the import (an enum member, an overload signature parameter, a constructor parameter property) count as references to it, so the callers keep the server-only import after the handler that read it is gone.
-- **when the validator link is wrapped in a $name expression.** A `.validator()` link wrapped in `satisfies` / `as` is not stripped from the callers.
-- **when the validator link is on a builder stored in a variable ($name).** A `.validator()` link on a builder stored in a variable is not stripped from the callers: the client follows the handler's chain only up to the identifier (`withPost.handler(...)`), so the variable's declaration keeps its validator. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateServerFn.ts`.
-- **callers drop a handler-only function that declares a local of its own name.** A function whose body declares a local of the function's own name (`function session() { const session = ... }`) counts as used by that local, so the callers keep it, and the server-only import it reads, after the handler that called it is gone.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/createServerFn/createServerFn.test.ts`
-
-- **a server fn whose factory a virtual module serves by its exact id compiles in dev.** In dev, the compiler looks up a module a server fn's factory comes from under a derived id (the module's id with a query flag of its own added), which the environment then loads: a user plugin serving a virtual module by its exact id, as Vite documents it, does not know that id, so the module that defines the server fn fails to compile ("Failed to load url virtual:...?server-fn-module-lookup").
-- **a handler called with ${name} is extracted.** A module is only compiled when its text matches `createServerFn` or `.handler(`, so with the builder imported from another module, a comment between the dot and `handler` hides the server fn. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/createServerFn/declaration-sites.test.ts`

-- **a server fn declared in $name never ships its nested handler to the client.** Dependency-free nested handlers remain in successful client output.
-- **with %s imported, a server fn wrapped in two calls works like an unwrapped one.** A server fn passed through calls of a user helper (`wrap(wrap(...))`, e.g. helpers registering or typing it) is not extracted: the compiler rejects it ("must be assigned to a variable"), although the server fn itself initializes a top-level variable.
-- **supports a server fn in $name.** A server fn nested in a function whose handler reads no local of it is left untransformed, rejected or extracted into an invalid provider (D13: support it like a top-level one).
-- **with %s imported, supports a server fn in the handler of another server fn.** A server fn created in the handler of another one is supported.
-- **with %s imported, supports server fns of the same name in two functions.** Two functions of a module each declare a server fn under the same local name; each runs its own handler.
-- **a server fn created through an optional call chain compiles like a plain chain or is rejected.** `.handler()` called through an optional chain (`createServerFn()?.handler(...)`) is not recognised: the module is left untransformed.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/createServerFn/handler-scope.test.ts`

-- **the handler can be a createIsomorphicFn call.** When the handler passed to `.handler()` is a `createIsomorphicFn()` chain, the chain is compiled first and the caller is never rewritten into an RPC (same cause as the createServerOnlyFn handler pin in known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts).
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`

-- **client: a module importing an edited factory module through a re-export ($name) loads no server code.** On a factory module edit, the client environment of the Start compiler's Vite plugin invalidates only the direct importers of the module; the walk through transitive importers runs for server environments only (vite/start-compiler-plugin/plugin.ts `invalidateCompilerState`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-compiler-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **SSR: a module importing an edited factory module through a re-export ($name) gets a server fn.** Same as the client pin above, in the SSR environment: on a factory module edit, the server environments do walk the transitive importers (`getTransitiveImporters`), but only invalidate the compiler's state and the server-fn lookup modules of the importers it finds; Vite's module nodes of the importers two or more imports away are only soft-invalidated, and their previous transform is served.

-
-- **transforms a client module with a server fn and a top-level call of a pre-bundled dependency.** Next to a server fn, a top-level `const x = f()` may be a renamed or re-exported Start factory, so in dev the client compiler loads the module of `f` through the client environment, from inside the transform.
-- **calls a server fn id on a fresh dev server that has not compiled its module.** When a server fn id is not registered yet, the dev validator (`validate-server-fn-id`) transforms the source file under `?server-fn-module-lookup`, the one id the compiling transform excludes, so the id is never registered and the validator rejects it.

-- **build: a server fn in a <script lang="ts"> block may use angle-bracket type assertions.** The parser is chosen from the module id without its query, so the `<script lang="ts">` block of a Vue SFC, which @vitejs/plugin-vue 6 serves in builds as `Page.vue?vue&type=script&lang.ts` (genScriptCode, attrsToQuery), is parsed as TSX.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`
-
-- **client: the server-only module of a class only server code uses is not bundled.** The client output keeps a class only server code uses, with its server-only import: the server-only module's top-level code is bundled and runs in the browser.
-- **client: a server-only module a type mentions is not bundled with verbatimModuleSyntax.** The client output keeps the server-only import that a `typeof` type query still mentions (compiler pin "client: a server-only import last mentioned by a type alias ..." above); with `verbatimModuleSyntax`, Vite's TypeScript transform keeps it.
-- **SSR: a server fn module is initialised once and shares its state with SSR code.** With SSR as the server fn provider, the SSR caller module and the provider module (`?tss-serverfn-split`) are two module instances of the same file in the SSR bundle, and the provider repeats the file's top-level code (exports-and-directives.test.ts "side-effect imports and top-level statements stay in every output" asserts this).
-- **SSR: a server fn only server code references is not callable over HTTP.** With SSR as the provider, the production resolver lists every server fn the builds found and never checks the caller's origin (`includeClientReferencedCheck` is off, and the flag it would check is true for every SSR-caller compile, handleCreateServerFn.ts `isClientReferenced`). On Vite, a lost #7213 race (below) also fails it, through the call from SSR code. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateServerFn.ts`.
-- **is callable, the app files written %s.** Vite: the production server fn resolver is generated before the SSR build has found a server fn that only another server fn's handler calls, so calling it throws "Server function info not found" (#7213).
-- **its caller only client code imports: the caller is callable over HTTP, the app files written %s.** Same root cause as above: Vite's SSR build reaches a server fn only client code imports, and everything it uses (its middleware's module included), only through the resolver, so a server fn that only its handler or a middleware `.server()` calls is missing from the resolver (#7213).
-- **a server fn created by a library function: the handler is not in the client bundle, or the build fails clearly.** A library function that creates server fns for its users (`createLoggedServerFn(handler)`) is never seen as a server fn in the user's module, so the handler ships to the client, silently.
-- **a build run from another directory: a library's server fn runs in the SSR build.** Start's Vite plugin looks for the Start libraries it bundles in SSR (`crawlFrameworkPkgs`: dependencies with a peer dependency on Start) in the package.json of the working directory (`root: process.cwd()`), not of Vite's root, which the plugin uses for its own root a few lines above. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/plugin.ts`.
-- **a module with a middleware and an isomorphic fn builds, and its middleware runs on the server.** In the SSR build, compiling a module with an isomorphic fn makes the Start compiler resolve the module's `createMiddleware` import (the server lookup does not know that factory). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts`.
-- **a CommonJS dependency with a top-level return builds and keeps its meaning.** The bundler plugins hand every module whose text matches a detection pattern (here `.handler(`) to the Start compiler, which parses it as an ES module and fails on a CommonJS script's top-level `return` (an installed package without `"type"`); the same package without that text builds and runs on both bundlers.
-- **a CommonJS dependency with a top-level return compiles and keeps its meaning.** Same as above, in Rsbuild's dev server.

-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/pages/start-compiler-import-forms.test.ts`
-
-- **$name alone in its module: the other environment neither loads nor runs the implementation.** The bundler plugins choose the modules the Start compiler transforms by their text (a factory name such as `createServerOnlyFn`, or `.handler(`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-compiler-plugin/plugin.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts`.
-- **through a namespace member.** `<ClientOnly>` is detected by the `<ClientOnly` / imported `ClientOnly` text, so a boundary written as a member of a namespace import (`<Router.ClientOnly>`) is never compiled.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-call-shapes.test.ts`
-
-- **$name: the client bundle holds no server code and the shape works, or the build fails at the call.** Chain methods called through a computed member (`builder['handler'](...)`, `['server'](...)`), a server-only fn whose result is member-called (`.bind(null)`), and a server fn in a top-level block (with createServerFn the only factory imported) are left untransformed by the client compiler (in-process pins in ../known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts), and the build succeeds.
-- **$name are recognised: the client bundle holds no server code and the shape works.** The bundler plugins choose the modules the Start compiler transforms by their text (a factory name, or `.handler(`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/vite/start-compiler-plugin/plugin.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-determinism.test.ts`
-
-- **fresh builds keep the function-to-id mapping when discovery order reverses.** Collision suffixes follow discovery order across fresh builds: at the same root, with the server function modules unchanged, the function-to-id mapping changes.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-env-separation.test.ts`
-
-- **$construct: its server code is not in the client bundle, and runs in the SSR build.** A `.validator()` link on a builder stored in a variable is not stripped from the client (server fn and middleware): the chain walk stops at the identifier. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `router-utils/src/ast.ts`.
-- **an isomorphic fn whose $name is stored in a variable runs its implementation in each build.** An isomorphic fn whose first link is stored in a variable loses that link's implementation in its environment's build (no-op, returns undefined). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateIsomorphicFn.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-source-maps.test.ts`
-
-- **rsbuild build: client: a throw in a split route component maps to its line in the route file ($name).** The router plugin's code splitter returns a source map of each route file it compiles, but unplugin's Rspack transform loader drops it when no earlier loader passed one in (`map == null ? map : res.map || map` in unplugin/dist/rspack/loaders/transform.mjs), so Rsbuild maps the chunk to the code splitter's output. Cause: unplugin `dist/{webpack,rspack}/loaders/transform.mjs` (upstream).
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-user-code.test.ts`
-
-- **the decorated class only a server fn handler uses is not in the client bundle.** A class only a server fn handler uses stays in the client output (dead-code elimination never removes class declarations; same root cause as the pins "client: a class used by a server fn handler does not load its server-only import" and "client: the server-only module of a class only server code uses is not bundled").
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compiler-build-export-cache.test.ts`
-
-- **export \* $name do not poison the build-mode export cache.** Build-mode export lookups are cached per module, but the parallel `export *` branches of one lookup share one visited set: in a diamond (a -> b -> d, a -> c -> d) the branch that reaches `d` second finds it visited and caches its own module (`b` or `c`) as not exporting `base`; in a cycle (a -> b -> a, a -> d) the lookup through `a` caches `b` the same way.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compiler-dev-server.test.ts`
-
-- **a module whose factory becomes a server fn builder: the client bundle drops the handler.** In full-bundle dev, an edit of a module that turns what another module imports into a server fn builder does not recompile the importer: the dev engine re-bundles the edited module only, and the Start compiler's bundledDev `watchChange` forgets the edited module alone, so the importer keeps the output compiled against the old `base`, handler and server-only imports included.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compose-server-fn-route.test.ts`
-
-- **the server runs the route module once.** With SSR as the provider, the SSR bundle holds the route module twice (SSR module and server fn provider module of the same file), so its top-level code runs twice.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-rsc-warnings.test.ts`
-
-- **renderToReadableStream with a variable or a spread warns once per file, naming the module.** The transform (react-start-rsc src/plugin/rscCssTransform.ts, `renderToReadableStream` branch) skips an argument that is not top-level JSX (`isTopLevelJsx`) with `continue`, and reports nothing; on Rsbuild, Start's compiler host would drop a warning of a transform too (rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts `warnTransformContext` calls the transform context's `emitWarning`, which Rsbuild's `api.transform` context does not have). Cause: `react-start-rsc/src/plugin/rscCssTransform.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/start-compiler-host.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`
-
-- **client builds compile $name finished or called in another module.** Middleware, isomorphic and env-only fns are detected by the `createMiddleware` / `createIsomorphicFn` / `createServerOnlyFn` text, so a module that only finishes a builder imported from another module, or calls a factory re-exported or aliased under another name, is never compiled.
-- **client builds compile a builder read from a namespace import.** A server fn builder read as a member of a namespace import (`F.authed.handler`) is not resolved, unlike the same builder imported by name.
-- **client builds compile factories of a re-exported Start namespace.** A namespace of the Start package re-exported by a project module (`export * as Start from '@tanstack/react-start'`) is not resolved.
-- **client builds compile a builder returned by a function of $name.** The builder of a `.handler()` chain is resolved through identifiers and member expressions only, so a builder returned by a function call (`authed().handler(...)`) is not traced.
-- **client builds compile a server fn whose builder passes through a helper function.** Same family as above, for a builder the user passes through a helper function (`applyStep(createServerFn().validator(schema))`): the `.handler()` chain is not traced through the call, so the module is left untransformed.
-- **each output keeps its implementation of an isomorphic fn whose chain passes through a helper function.** Same family, for an isomorphic fn whose chain passes through a helper function (`withBuilder(createIsomorphicFn().server(f)).client(g)`): the inner `createIsomorphicFn().server(f)` is compiled on its own into a plain function, so `.client(g)` is then called on that function.
-- **client: a createServerOnlyFn called through $name is compiled.** Env-only factories nested in other code are found by the factory's exported name (`isNestedDirectCallCandidate`), so a renamed import or a local alias is only compiled as a top-level variable initializer.
-- **$name: the client holds no server code, or the module is rejected at the call.** Chain methods are only recognised when called through a static member (`.handler(...)`, `.server(...)`), and a call whose result is member-called (`createServerOnlyFn(...).bind(null)`) is taken for the inner call of a method chain and never visited as a candidate itself: each module below is left untransformed in every environment.
-- **a createServerOnlyFn local alias called in a top-level block works in each environment, or is rejected at the call.** Env-only factories nested in other code are found by the factory's exported name (`isNestedDirectCallCandidate`), so a local alias of createServerOnlyFn called in a top-level block is neither compiled nor rejected.
-- **a createServerFn in $name does not ship its handler to the client.** With createServerFn the only factory imported, only top-level variable declarations are visited, so a server fn elsewhere is neither extracted nor rejected; with another factory imported, a nested declarator is extracted but its provider exports an undeclared handler.
-- **with another Start factory imported, a server fn in $name works or is rejected at the call.** Next to another Start factory, a server fn that is not assigned to a variable (an object property, a class field, a default export, an assignment, a call argument, a JSX attribute, a conditional, a destructuring) is rejected with a plain `Error` ("createServerFn must be assigned to a variable!") that carries no position: the user is told the file (by the bundler) but not where in it. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateServerFn.ts`.
-- **with %s imported, a nested server fn whose handler reads a local of its function is supported or rejected at the capture.** Same cause as above; a server fn nested in a function whose handler reads a local of that function (here `id`) cannot run on its own on the server, and is neither supported nor rejected.
-- **distinct re-export aliases of two factories keep their own kind.** The export a re-export forwards is looked up by its local name (`wrap`) only, so two re-exports of different modules' `wrap` under distinct names resolve to the same factory.
-- **%s: parameters and locals shadowing the factories are left alone next to a compiled factory call.** Same lookup-by-local-name bug as the row above, for parameters and locals shadowing the factories next to a compiled factory call.
-- **a user binding named %s does not collide with generated code.** Generated imports and handler names are not made unique against user bindings, so a user binding named like one of them collides with it.
-- **a server fn named opts runs on the server.** The server calls each server fn from a generated wrapper, `opts => fn.__executeServer(opts)`, whose `opts` parameter shadows a server fn named `opts`.
-- **no name the compiler introduces collides with a user binding or a server fn of that name.** The same as the two pins above, for whatever names the compiler introduces (adaptive: they are read from the served code, so a compiler that only renames its generated bindings still collides here, while one that keeps them apart from user bindings passes).
-- **%s: a server fn whose handler is a createServerOnlyFn call returns the handler result.** When the handler passed to `.handler()` is a `createServerOnlyFn()` call, the inner call is compiled first and the caller is never rewritten into an RPC.
-- **a dev edit of a module a re-export chain ends in recompiles its importers.** After a dev edit of the module a re-export chain of an env-only factory ends in (here it now re-exports createClientOnlyFn under the createServerOnlyFn name), the module importing the factory, unchanged, keeps the code compiled for the old factory: its compiled output imports nothing of the chain, so no module graph links it to the edited module, and the compiler's own invalidation does not reach it.
-- **$output: hook calls read only by the removed implementation still run.** Removing the other environment's implementation of an env function declared in a hook leaves the locals only that implementation read unreferenced, and dead-code elimination (babel-dead-code-elimination, which removes newly unreferenced bindings) deletes their declarators, hook calls included.
-- **client: the factory of a classic JSX pragma stays imported.** Dead-code elimination does not count a classic JSX pragma (`/** @jsx h */`) as a use of the factory it names, so the factory import is removed when no other code reads it (the generated imports also land above the pragma comment, where Oxc no longer reads it).
-- **ssr: a module with a classic JSX runtime pragma keeps its React import.** Same family as the pin above: under a classic JSX runtime pragma (`/** @jsxRuntime classic */`, whose JSX reads `React`), the SSR output removes the `<ClientOnly>` children, then dead-code elimination drops `import * as React`, which only the JSX still reads. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleClientOnlyJSX.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`.
-- **client and SSR: a type-only import re-exported as `export { Settings }` is erased (%s).** A type-only import re-exported without `type` (`export { Settings }`, which TypeScript accepts unless verbatimModuleSyntax is on) loses its import in the client and SSR outputs, which keep the export that the TypeScript transform can then no longer erase.
-- **client: $name does not load its server-only import.** Dead-code elimination (babel-dead-code-elimination) removes unreferenced functions and variables but never class declarations, TS enums, namespaces, overloaded functions or redeclared `var`s, so such a declaration that only server code used keeps its server-only import.
-- **client: a server-only import last mentioned by a type alias is not loaded with verbatimModuleSyntax.** Dead-code elimination counts a `typeof auth` type query in a top-level type alias as a use of the `auth` import, so a server-only import that the handler read and that such a type still mentions stays a value import in the client output.
-- **client: a validator schema that a type alias reads with typeof is not loaded.** Same family as above, for a module-level declaration: a validator schema that a type alias also reads (`z.infer<typeof themeValidator>`) stays in the client output, with what its initializer imports, although types read no value at runtime. Cause: `router-utils/src/ast.ts`.
-- **ssr: a declaration a client-only fn reads and a type alias reads with typeof is not loaded.** Same root cause as the pin above, mirrored on the server: a module-level declaration that only a client-only implementation and a `typeof` type query read stays in the SSR output, with its initializer and imports.

-- **the client strips a validator link$middleware wrapped in $name.** A `.validator()` link wrapped in `satisfies` / `as` is not recognised as a link of the middleware chain on the client, so it is not stripped.
-- **the client strips a validator link of a builder stored in a variable.** A `.validator()` link of a middleware builder stored in a variable is not stripped on the client: the chain walk from `base.server(...)` stops at the identifier, so the variable's declaration keeps its validator (its `.server()` link is stripped, the control above). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateMiddleware.ts`.
-- **each output keeps its implementation of an isomorphic fn whose $name is stored in a variable.** An isomorphic fn whose first link is stored in a variable (`const base = createIsomorphicFn().server(...)`, then `export const getEnv = base.client(...)`) loses that link's implementation: each call is compiled on its own, the chain walk from `base.client(...)` stops at the identifier, so the output of the stored link's environment gets a no-op. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/handleCreateIsomorphicFn.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`.
-- **each output keeps its implementation of an isomorphic fn with a wrapped chain link: %s.** An isomorphic chain link wrapped in `satisfies` / `as` is not followed: the implementation of the wrapped link is lost.
-- **each output keeps its implementation of $shape with the callee in $name.** A factory callee wrapped in `as any` is not resolved, so the call is left untransformed.
-- **the server compiles env-specific functions inside a server fn handler.** The server leaves env-specific functions declared inside a server fn handler uncompiled, with the client-only module they read still imported.
-- **dev: editing a factory module recompiles its importers against the new code.** After a dev edit of a module a server fn builder comes from, the client keeps serving its importers compiled against the old builder: the importer is not compiled again (the dev server only refreshes its import timestamps), so its handler stays an RPC to a server fn the edited code no longer creates.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-jsx-pragma.test.ts`
-
-- **inserted server function imports stay below the @jsxImportSource pragma: %s.** The server fn runtime import (RPC or `createServerRpc`) is inserted above the pragma comment that leads the file, so Vite 8 (Oxc) compiles the module's JSX with the default runtime (same root cause as the code splitter's pragma pin).
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-preserves-user-code.test.ts`
-
-- **keeps the parentheses of asserted update operands.** The client output prints an asserted update operand without its parentheses (`count as number++`).
-- **keeps the parentheses of an asserted conditional test.** The client output prints a type assertion that is the test of a conditional whose branch starts with a unary minus without its parentheses (`a as any ? -x : y`), which does not parse (`any ? -x` reads as the start of a conditional type). Cause: `router-utils/src/ast.ts`.
-
-#### `react-start-rsc/tests/integration/rsc-start-client-module.test.ts`
-
-- **a server function of a 'use client' module runs on the server.** The provider module (`?tss-serverfn-split`) keeps the `'use client'` directive of its source module, so the RSC bundler turns the provider's exports into client references and the handler is not there to run.
-
-#### `react-start-rsc/tests/integration/rsc-start-private.test.ts`
-
-- **a server function only server code calls is not callable from the browser.** A server-environment caller reports every server fn it compiles as client-referenced (handleCreateServerFn.ts `isClientReferenced`), so the resolver's client-origin check never refuses anything with a separate provider.

-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/hydrate-build-cases.ts`
-
-- **boundaries in split route options that another option reads hydrate in the boundaries the server renders.** A split component with a boundary that another route option reads (`head` reads `Page.name`) goes to a module the route module and the chunk share, without the lazy component of its boundary, which stays in the chunk: the shared module reads an undeclared name (the build harness rejects the client output). Cause: `router-utils/src/compiler-helpers.ts`.
-- **an unused exported component with a boundary is not in the client.** The client parent declares the lazy component of each boundary with a module-level call (`lazyRouteComponent(() => import(...))`) that bundlers must keep (it is not marked pure), so the children of an unused exported component still ship: the call stays in the eager code, and its chunk is emitted. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
-- **an export only the children use, initialized by a call, is initialized once and hydrates.** An initializer with side effects may keep the export in the eager code (no warning is required), but it must run once, and the children must render the one `Widget` it made, while the boundary's own children still load lazily. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/hydrate-pages-react.ts`
-
-- **a namespace-imported Start.Hydrate loads its children when it hydrates.** A namespace member `<Start.Hydrate>` is a boundary like a named import, so its children's code loads when it hydrates, not with the page.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/hydrate-pages-solid.ts`
-
-- **a namespace-imported Start.Hydrate loads its children when it hydrates.** A namespace member `<Start.Hydrate>` of `@tanstack/solid-start` is a boundary like a named import.
-- **split children read a context declared in the page module.** The chunk re-declares the module-level bindings its children use instead of using the parent module's (`createContext` runs again there), the Solid twin of known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts "client: the children use the module-level context of the parent module".
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/pages/hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts`
-
-- **client: a hook called through a namespace is rejected at the boundary.** Hook calls are only detected when the callee is a bare identifier, so `React.useId()` in the children moves into the split code instead of being rejected (SPEC J5.5).
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/pages/hydrate-split-modules.test.ts`
-
-- **client: the children prop ($name) of a self-closing boundary is deferred.** `<Hydrate children={…} />` defers its children like JSX children: the parent does not need their modules before the split code loads.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-hydrate-module-level.test.ts`
-
-- **client: module-level $name, named like the generated bindings, do not collide.** The chunk keeps the module-level bindings the children name (by name, even when a local shadows them) under their own names, so a binding named like one the compiler generates in the chunk (its export) collides with it.
-- **client: the children use the module-level $name of the parent module.** The chunk re-declares the module-level bindings the children use instead of using the parent module's instance.
-- **client: an exported declaration the children use has one instance, initialized once.** An exported declaration the children use is copied into the chunk, so its initializer runs again there.
-- **client: split children reading Route $name use the one route.** The client chunk removes the module's `Route` (`removeModuleLevelBindings(ast, new Set(['Route']))`) without importing it from the parent module, so split children reading it reference an undeclared binding.
-- **client: an unexported component named Route that the children render reaches the chunk.** The client chunk takes any module-level binding named `Route` for the route and removes it (the removal of the pins above), even when the module does not export it and it is a plain component.
-- **client: $name that the children rely on reaches the chunk.** Only declarations move into the chunk; the top-level statements that complete them (member assignments, registrations) are dropped.
-- **client: a var declared in a nested block that the children read reaches the chunk.** Module bindings are collected from top-level declarations only (`collectLocalBindingsFromStatement`), so a module-level `var` declared in a nested block is dropped from the chunk.
-- **client: a TypeScript import alias used by the split children is declared in the chunk.** A TypeScript import alias (`import Card = ui.Card`) used only by the split children is not declared in the client chunk.
-- **client: $name used by the children reaches the chunk.** Module-level declarations the children use are only moved into the chunk for some declaration forms and uses: a default-exported function, TypeScript enums and namespaces, and a `let` the children only assign are neither declared in the chunk nor imported from the parent.
-- **client: a module with a classic JSX pragma renders through its factory.** Dead-code elimination does not count a classic JSX pragma (`/** @jsx jsx */`) as a use of the factory it names, so the client parent drops the factory import once the children that call it are split (the generated code also lands above the pragma comment, where Oxc no longer reads it).

-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts`
-
-- **a Hydrate inside a fallback does not shift the chunks of later boundaries.** The server and the client number boundaries without the Hydrate inside a `fallback`, but the chunk loader counts it.
-- **client: $name hydrates like the server renders it.** A component that declares a boundary and is rendered inside a boundary (its own, or another one) is copied into the chunk, and compiling the chunk numbers the copy's boundary after the chunk's own index.
-- **client: a local component named Hydrate is left alone.** Hydrate elements are matched by name instead of by binding.
-- **client: children passed through $name render without unused chunks.** The boundary's children are only read from JSX children, never from a `children` prop or spread.
-- **client: a boundary nested in a children prop hydrates with the id the server renders.** Same root cause as above, for a `children` prop that holds another boundary: the client does not compile the JSX of the prop, so the nested boundary hydrates without the id the server renders it with.
-- **client: a text-only child renders like JSX text: $name.** A multi-line text-only child moves into the chunk as a string literal of the raw text, without the line collapsing of JSX text.
-- **client: spaces around a single child on one line render like on the server.** Whitespace-only text around a single child is dropped when the children move into the chunk, although JSX keeps whitespace on the line of the child as text (the server renders it). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
-- **a later boundary keeps its id and its children next to $name.** The Hydrate plugin numbers boundaries after the other Start transforms removed environment-specific code (`<ClientOnly>` children on the server; server fn handlers, `createServerOnlyFn` bodies and isomorphic `.server()` implementations on the client), while the client chunk loader counts the boundaries of the original module. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
-- **client: captured locals named key and ref reach the split children.** Captured locals are passed to the lazy chunk component as props of the same name, so locals named `key` or `ref` become React's `key`/`ref`.
-- **client: the split children render a local component named %s.** A JSX tag is only taken for a read of a local when its name starts with an ASCII capital letter, so a local component named `_Local`, `$Local` or with a non-ASCII first letter is not passed to the chunk.
-- **client: the split children render member-expression tags of $name.** The object of a member-expression tag (`<ui.Home />`, `<Model.Item />`) is not taken for a read of a local. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
-- **client: the split children render a component bound inside them.** A JSX tag naming a binding declared inside the children (`const Icon = icons[id]` in a `.map()` callback) is taken for a capture of the component: the client parent passes `Icon={Icon}` to the chunk, where no `Icon` exists. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/hydrate-when-transform.ts`.
-- **client: property names, method keys and optional members are no reads of a local.** Property names, method keys and optional member names in the children are taken for reads of the local of the same name, which the parent then reads where the boundary renders.
-- **client: the split children read a local enum.** A TypeScript enum declared in the component is not passed to the chunk.
-- **client: split children reading the component's arguments render its props.** Split children reading the component's `arguments` are moved into the chunk component unchanged, where `arguments` are the chunk's own props (`this` and `super` are rejected instead).
-- **client: split children may use the own `this` of $name.** A `this` owned by a function, class or method in the children is rejected, on the client and the server.
-- **client: await in split children is rejected at the boundary or renders.** Split children containing `await` (async server components) are moved as is into the synchronous chunk component the client compile emits, while the server renders them inline.
-- **client: the split text of a text-only boundary maps to its line and column.** A boundary whose only child is text is split into code whose text is a new string the compiler creates without the text's position, and nothing else in that code comes from the user's file: the dev server serves it with an empty source map (no mappings, no sources).

-
-- **allows the import of %s: the build succeeds and the client gets the real module.** `onViolation` runs after the build replaced the denied module with a mock, so returning `false` only silences the report. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
-- **imported by an ignored importer and, further from the entry, another importer: the violation blames the other importer.** The Rsbuild adapter reports a marker violation at the marked module with the shortest import chain from the entry to the marked module (`buildTrace`, import-protection/trace.ts, a BFS to the nearest entry), whichever importer it runs through: here the exempt `src/ignored.ts`, two steps from the entry, while the importer the violation is for, `src/other.ts`, is three steps away. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/trace.ts`.
-- **imported only by an ignored importer does not fail the build.** The Vite adapter reports a marker violation for the marked module itself (`importer` is the module importing the marker) and does not look at which modules import it, so `ignoreImporters` cannot exempt them (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts, marker handling in `resolveId`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **imported only by an ignored importer: the ignored importer gets the real module.** An importer `ignoreImporters` exempts still gets the mock of a server-only-marked module in a mock-mode build: Rsbuild replaces the marked module itself with a mock in its loader, for every importer (the exemption pins of exemptions.test.ts, user ruling 2026-10-17); on Vite the marker violation is not exempt at all (the pin above), and in error mode the build fails.
-- **in mock mode, an ignored importer gets the real module, another importer a safe mock, and only the other importer is reported.** In a mock-mode build, a server-only-marked module imported by an exempt importer and another importer is a mock for both (Rsbuild), or the real module for the other importer (Vite).

-- **%s is mocked, with a warning.** In a build, a violation of a marker (server-only in the client, client-only in the server) only replaces the marker import itself with a mock (`handleViolation` in vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts returns a mock edge for the marker specifier); the marked module keeps its code, and its importers import it. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **a name re-exported with `export \*` from a denied specifier is a safe mock, or the build fails** (Rsbuild). The import-protection loader removes an `export * from` a denied specifier from the importer, and the build of the module importing one of its names succeeds without it: the name is `undefined` (ruling Q4: a safe mock, or the build fails). Vite's build fails on the missing export. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/rewrite.ts` (`rewriteDeniedImports`).

-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/build-options.test.ts`
-
-- **by default, the server-only marker of a dependency is not checked.** The Vite adapter checks a server-only marker when it resolves the marker import, for any importer, and never applies `excludeFiles` to the marked module (vite/import-protection-plugin/ plugin.ts, marker handling in `resolveId`), so the build fails with a marker violation of `node_modules/db-lib/index.js`.
-- **[] checks the markers of dependencies: a server-only-marked dependency fails the build.** With `excludeFiles: []`, the Rsbuild adapter still skips the marker check of files under `node_modules` (the build succeeds without any report); `excludeFiles` is documented as the files the file-pattern and marker checks skip (guide/import-protection.md), and Vite checks them.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/build.test.ts`
-
-- **a server-only-marked module re-exported by a barrel the client uses other exports of builds without any report.** Same as the pins "a denied module the client bundle drops does not fail the build" (known-bugs.test.ts): the Rsbuild report step walks every module of the module graph, used or not, so the marked module the client bundle drops still fails the build.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/default-rules.test.ts`
-
-- **the client reports the dependency file it denies, and does not load it.** On the client in dev mock mode (the default), with `excludeFiles: []`, the denied import of a dependency's server file is rewritten to import the real file (`/node_modules/dep-pkg/db.server.js`, read as a `default` export it does not have) instead of a mock, and that rewritten import is reported a second time, at no position.
-- **the server reports the dependency file it denies.** On the server in dev, with `excludeFiles: []`, a dependency's file the server denies (here `dep-pkg/widget`, which resolves to `widget.client.js`) is never reported: in mock mode (the dev default) the import is rewritten to read a `default` export of the real file (`/node_modules/dep-pkg/widget.client.js`, which has none), so loading the module fails ("does not provide an export named 'default'") without a report; in error mode nothing is reported and the real module loads.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/dev-page.test.ts`
-
-- **a denied import of a module the client entry imports is logged.** Dev import protection only logs violations it can reach from the entries it registers, Start's router entry and start entry (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `registerEntries`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`, `react-start/src/client.tsx`.
-- **a client-only import of a module the server entry imports is mocked on the server and logged.** Dev import protection only logs violations it can reach from the entries it registers, Start's router entry and start entry (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `registerEntries`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/dev.test.ts`
-
-- **added by an edit of the importer is logged at its original import or surviving use, with a trace from the entry.** When a module changes, dev import protection drops every import graph edge that points to it (`hotUpdate` → `ImportGraph.invalidate`, import-protection/trace.ts, removes the edges where the file is the target, not only those where it is the importer). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/trace.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **'always' logs a violation again after an edit.** Same as "added by an edit of the importer is logged at the use" above: the edit drops the import graph edges to `src/a.ts`, and the violation found when it is transformed again is discarded as unreachable from Start's router entry.
-- **'once' logs one warning for one import.** In dev, one client import of a denied file is logged twice: once for the import as written (`./secret.server`) and once for the resolved path the dev mock rewrite puts in its place, which Vite resolves again; the dedupe key of `log: 'once'` includes the specifier (`dedupeViolationKey`, import-protection/utils.ts), so the two do not dedupe (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts, transform-cache import loop and `resolveId`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/utils.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **'always' logs one warning for one import each time its module is loaded.** With `log: 'always'`, one client import of a denied file is logged three times when the client loads its module once: twice for the import as written, because import protection finds the same violation both when the import resolves (`resolveId`) and when it checks the module's compiled imports (transform-cache import loop), and 'always' does not dedupe them (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `hasSeen`), plus once for the resolved path (the 'once' pin above). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **importing a denied file, the warning names the .mdx page, located in its original mapped source.** The warning drops original coordinates for an MDX file even though @mdx-js/rollup supplies a source map for its import and use. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/sourceLocation.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/utils.ts`.
-- **importing a denied specifier gets the mock, and the dev server logs a warning naming it.** To give the mock of a denied specifier the named exports its importer imports, import protection reads the importer's code from its own cache of compiled modules, which only has JavaScript and TypeScript files, and otherwise from Vite's `getModuleInfo(importer).code`, which Vite's dev server does not support: it throws "[vite] The "code" property of ModuleInfo is not supported." (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveExportsForDeniedSpecifier`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **returning false allows the import: the client gets the real module.** Dev import protection replaces a denied file with its mock when it resolves (and transforms) the import, before it calls `onViolation`; returning `false` only silences the warning (the dev twin of the build pin "onViolation returning false allows the import of a denied file", build.test.ts).
-- **with behavior "error", an import of a denied file it allows gets the real module.** Same as the pin "returning false allows the import" above, with behavior "error": the denied file is still replaced with its mock.
-- **is mocked when the client loads the importer first.** Import protection decides to mock an import of a server-only-marked module when it resolves the import, and only knows a module is marked once it has transformed it. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **after an edit adds the marker, the violation is logged.** When an edit adds a server-only marker to a module the client already loaded, nothing happens to its importers: import protection only clears its own caches on the edit (`hotUpdate`), and Vite keeps the importers' transforms (a soft invalidation), so their import of the module is never resolved again, where the marker violation would be found (the retroactive marker check of `resolveId`, vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **after an edit adds the marker, the importer gets the mock.** After an edit adds a server-only marker to a module the client already loaded, the importers keep their transform, so the import is never resolved again and gets no mock. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **by default, is not logged, and the client gets the real module.** In dev, the Vite adapter checks the server-only marker a dependency imports when it resolves the marker import, whatever `excludeFiles` says (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts, marker handling in `resolveId`; the build twin is pinned in build-options.test.ts), and then reads the importer's code from Vite's `getModuleInfo(importer).code`, which the dev server does not support: loading the dependency throws "[vite] The "code" property of ModuleInfo is not supported." Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **with excludeFiles: [], is logged, and the client gets a safe mock.** In Vite dev, a client import of a dependency that marks itself server-only (not pre-bundled) fails with "The \"code\" property of ModuleInfo is not supported" instead of being logged and mocked. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **$mockAccess: the server gets a safe mock, and using it is reported as an $severity naming the import.** The mock runtime of a violation in a server environment is always the silent one, whatever `mockAccess` says ("mock mode always logs"). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/virtualModules.ts`.
-- **a helper a server fn factory module uses only inside .server() is not logged.** With Vite's default pre-transform requests, the Start compiler's lookup of the server fn factory module (`?server-fn-module-lookup`, in the client environment) goes through Vite's import analysis, which pre-transforms `src/helper.ts` for the client. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **a denied import of a module a server fn factory module re-exports is reported at its original import or use, with its path.** The location of the use is read from a source map of the module whose `sources` are relative to it (`other.ts`), and import protection takes the source as it is (import-protection/sourceLocation.ts `mapGeneratedToOriginal`, `orig.source`), so `Importer:` names the file without its directory. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/sourceLocation.ts`.
-- **a denied import of a module warmed up before its importers is logged once the client loads the app.** A module the dev server transforms before any importer of it is known (Vite's `server.warmup`, which transforms the listed files as the server starts, or any request that comes first) has its violations discarded as unreachable from Start's entries (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `processPendingViolations`, `'unreachable'`; only bundled dev keeps them pending), and Vite caches its transform, so they are never checked again, even once the app loads the module from its entry. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **with perEnvironmentStartEndDuringDev, a denied import of a module the client loads after the server rendered is logged.** With Vite's `server.perEnvironmentStartEndDuringDev`, each environment runs `buildStart` when it first handles a module, and import protection's `buildStart` clears the state of every environment (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `clearEnvState` for each), so the server's first request drops the client's import graph: a module the client loads afterwards is unreachable from Start's entries and its violations are discarded. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **the trace of a denied file imported from a module of src/routes leads from the router entry.** In full-bundle dev, import protection takes each client module of `src/routes` as an entry, so that a violation under a route the bundle reaches before the router entry's imports are known is not discarded (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveId`, bundled dev `env.graph.addEntry(normalizedImporter)`); the trace then stops at the first entry it meets. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **with mockAccess off, a server fn built with a factory of a denied file gets the mock in the client bundle and is logged at its original import or use.** The Start compiler looks up the factory in the denied file's mock (`import mock from 'tanstack-start-import-protection:mock'`) with its lookup query, and the Vite adapter loads the silent mock only by its exact id (vite/import-protection-plugin/virtualModules.ts `loadResolvedVirtualModule`): Rolldown cannot load `\0tanstack-start-import-protection:mock?server-fn-module-lookup`. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/virtualModules.ts`.
-- **in a JSX module, a use of a denied file imported through a subpath import alias is located on its source line.** Import protection keeps a module's source map for its diagnostics up front only when the module's compiled code names a denied module (`shouldCaptureDiagnosticSourceMap`, vite/import-protection-plugin/ plugin.ts).
-- **with maxTraceDepth, a deeper trace is cut, keeping the importer.** Dev import protection replaces its trace (cut at `maxTraceDepth`) with the trace it finds in Vite's module graph whenever that one is longer (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `rebuildAndAnnotateTrace`); the module graph trace runs from the entry and is only cut at `maxTraceDepth + 2` steps, from the entry side (so in a chain deeper than that, it does not reach the importer). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/exemptions.test.ts`
-
-- **an importer that is not exempt gets the mock and is reported.** With `importProtection.include`, a denied file outside the patterns is never mocked: its own transform skips out-of-scope files before the self-denial. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **the exempt importer gets the real module, and is not reported.** An importer exempted by `ignoreImporters`/`exclude` gets the mock instead of the real module (ruling 2026-10-17: exempt importers get the real module).
-- **an importer that is not exempt gets the mock and is reported.** With `importProtection.include`, a denied file outside the patterns is never mocked: its own transform skips out-of-scope files before the self-denial. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **the exempt importer gets the real module, and is not reported.** An importer exempted by `ignoreImporters`/`exclude` gets the mock instead of the real module (ruling 2026-10-17: exempt importers get the real module).
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/known-bugs-dev.test.ts`
-
-- **a server fn factory module calling a denied import at the top level fails to load.** The Start compiler resolves the imports of a server fn factory module with a lookup query (`SERVER_FN_LOOKUP`), and import protection records the module as a lookup module by its path without the query (`serverFnLookupModules`, vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveId`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **a module a server fn factory module imports, calling a denied import at the top level, fails to load.** Same cause as the pin above, one module further: when the Start compiler's lookup of a server fn factory module resolves the module's imports, import protection records each imported module as a lookup module too (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveId`, "Propagate pre-transform status transitively"), by its path, so the client's own transform of that module is silenced as well. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **a module of a custom type importing $name is reported, and its real code does not run.** Rsbuild import protection checks importers by file extension (`isImportProtectionSourceFile`, rsbuild/import-protection.ts, only JS/TS extensions), and its loader rule only rewrites those files, so an importer of another module type that compiles to JS (a custom type here, `.mdx` through its real loader below) is never checked: a denied file is mocked (the file rule) but not reported, and a denied specifier is neither reported nor mocked. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
-- **an .mdx page importing $name is reported in its source, and its real code does not run.** Rsbuild import protection checks importers by file extension (JS/TS only), so an `.mdx` importer is never checked: a denied file is mocked but not reported, and a denied specifier's real code runs. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
-- **vite dev: ${name}.** The mock edge of a denied specifier exports only the names the importer reads statically, so `ns[key]` of a namespace import is `undefined`; a mock-mode Rsbuild build also inlines the real value of an enum member of a denied file. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/virtualModules.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/known-bugs.test.ts`
-
-- **a denied module the client bundle drops does not fail the build.** The build check counts a denied module as surviving when the compilation contains it, whether or not the client uses it. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/virtualModules.ts`.
-- **in mock mode, an unused denied module leaves nothing in the client bundle and no warning.** Same as above, in mock mode: the mock of a denied module the client never uses stays in the client bundle, and the build warns about it.
-- **a client dynamic import of a denied specifier fails the build, reporting one client violation.** A dynamic `import('db-lib')` of a denied specifier is neither reported nor mocked: the Rsbuild loader only rewrites static imports and re-exports (`rewriteDeniedImports`, import-protection/rewrite.ts), and the build reports specifier violations only through the mock modules of rewritten imports (`processAssets` in rsbuild/import-protection.ts). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/rewrite.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
-- **in mock mode, a denied .server.json file is mocked, with a warning.** In mock mode, a denied file that is not JavaScript or TypeScript keeps its content: Vite replaces a denied file with its mock in a transform hook whose filter only lets JS/TS modules through (`/\.[cm]?[tj]sx?($|\?)/`, transform-cache plugin of vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts), and the Rsbuild loader rule only applies to JS/TS modules (`test: /\.[cm]?[tj]sx?$/`, rsbuild/import-protection.ts). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
-- **in mock mode, a denied .server.cjs file is mocked, with a warning.** In mock mode, a denied CommonJS file (`.server.cjs`) fails the build: the mock that replaces the file is an ES module, which Vite's parser rejects in a `.cjs` file (`export default mock`), and whose named exports are the ES exports of the denied file, which a CommonJS file has none of, so Rspack cannot link the named import (`export 'secret' ... was not found`).
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/reported-location-trace.test.ts`
-
-- **the trace goes through modules outside the source directory.** The trace of a Vite build starts at the first module of the trace that is in the source directory and not in `node_modules`: the Vite adapter does not record the imports of other modules in its import graph (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **the trace starts at the entry when a module imports the entry back.** Rsbuild: when a module imports the entry back, the trace collapses to the importer alone, tagged as the entry (the concatenated entry module is registered by its loader path). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
-- **$build: after $name.** A trace step's location is the import's position in the compiled code of the module unless import protection captured a source map of it: the Vite adapter captures one only for modules whose code names a denied file or specifier pattern or a marker (`shouldCaptureDiagnosticSourceMap` in vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts), the Rsbuild adapter only when the build emits source maps. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/reported-location.test.ts`
-
-- **$channel: $name.** The usage lookup counts a member property named like a denied import (`db.eq`) as a use of the import (shared `findPostCompileUsagePos` / `findOriginalUnsafeUsagePos` in import-protection/analysis.ts, used by both adapters). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/analysis.ts`.
-- **$channel: $name.** The original-source usage lookup, which the Rsbuild adapter tries first, takes any `<name>ServerFn.handler(...)` callback for a server fn handler by its name (`/ServerFn$/`, `isCompilerSafeBoundaryCall` in import-protection/analysis.ts) and skips the use inside it; the compiled-code lookup it then falls back to reports compiled-code coordinates (the same fallback as the pins below). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/analysis.ts`.
-- **$channel: $name.** The original-source usage lookup, which the Rsbuild adapter tries first, counts uses in type positions (`typeof secret`), which TypeScript erases, and does not count a JSX element (`<Secret />`) as a use; the compiled-code lookup it then falls back to reports compiled-code coordinates when the module has no column source map (production builds, and Rsbuild's default `cheap-module-source-map` in development).
-- **$channel: $name.** The original-source usage lookup, which the Rsbuild adapter tries first, skips only functions passed directly to a compiler-safe boundary call (`isInsideCompilerSafeBoundaryNodes`, import-protection/analysis.ts), but the client compile removes the whole `createServerOnlyFn(...)` call, whatever its argument (here a function wrapped in `wrap(...)`), so the use inside it never runs in the client; the lookup reports it (src/a.tsx:5:48) instead of the leak on line 6. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/analysis.ts`.
-- **$channel ($name): a JSX element.** With source maps, Rsbuild import protection names the importer after the map's source URL (`webpack://<namespace>/./src/a.tsx`), a path that is no file of the app, for imports it finds in the compiled code. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/import-protection/sourceLocation.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/v2-alias.test.ts`
-
-- **the build fails, reporting the aliased specifier at its original line.** With vite-tsconfig-paths, a violation through a `paths` alias is reported with the mapped specifier (`src/secret.server`) and no location, not the `~/secret.server` the user wrote. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/v2-edits-page.test.ts`

-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/v2-policy.test.ts`
-
-- **an importer $how gets the real module.** Rsbuild dev replaces a denied file with its mock in the file's own transform, for every importer (rsbuild/import-protection-loader.ts: `checkFileDenial` matches, then `generateDevSelfDenialModule`), before an importer's exemption or the verdict of `onViolation` (`reportViolation`, rsbuild/import-protection.ts, at the end of the compile) counts. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection-loader.ts`, `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
-- **the client gets the real module.** The `Promise<false>` twin of the pin "returning false allows the import: the client gets the real module" (dev.test.ts): dev import protection replaces the denied file with its mock when it resolves the import, before `onViolation` decides; returning `Promise<false>` only silences the report (the control above).
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`
-
-- **client: a server fn module calling a function of a denied specifier at the top level loads.** When the Start compiler resolves an import of the module it is compiling (here the callee of a top-level call next to a server fn), import protection handles a denied specifier before the module's transform result exists, and falls back to `getModuleInfo(importer).code`, which Vite's dev server does not support: reading it throws (vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts `resolveExportsForDeniedSpecifier`). Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/vite/import-protection-plugin/plugin.ts`.
-- **client: the importer of a module whose server-only marker was removed loads the module.** Import protection replaces a client import of a module it knows is server-only-marked with a mock when it resolves the import.
-- **client: a name re-exported with `export \*` from $name is a mock, or the server warns at the `export \*`.** In dev, a client module's `export * from` a denied module re-exports nothing: the mock edge of a denied specifier exports only the names its importer uses, and `export *` uses none; a denied file's `export *` is removed from the importer. The importer of the name fails to load (ruling Q4: a safe mock, or a warning at the `export *`, never a crash or the denied module's value).
-
-#### `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/rsbuild/import-protection.test.ts`
-
-- **the file rule denies the module it resolves to: the importer is reported at the import or the use.** The report of a denied import `source.transformImport` rewrote points at neither the import nor the use of its binding (`src/entry.ts:2:25`, the arrow of `read`; the use `button()` is at 2:27): the location is only found in the rewritten code (through the mock module's path), whose positions do not map back to the source. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection.ts`.
-- **denied as written, the build fails on it, reporting the importer at the import or the use.** A specifier denied as the user wrote it is not denied once `source.transformImport` rewrote it: the loader matches the specifiers of the code SWC already transformed (`ui-lib/button`), so `'ui-lib'` never matches, and the build ships the library to the client without any error or warning. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/rsbuild/import-protection-loader.ts`.

-- **%s dev warns about the CSS limitation once per source file, naming it.** Identifier and spread stream arguments silently miss CSS delivery: the real RSC integration skips them without a warning (J7.3, D8). Cause: `react-start-rsc/src/plugin/rscCssTransform.ts`.
-
-#### `react-start-rsc/tests/integration/rsc-css-rsbuild-root.test.ts`
-
-- **Rsbuild: the app compiles when the process does not run in the app directory.** Start's Rsbuild plugin writes its virtual modules (serialization adapters, RSC decode) under `<process.cwd()>/node_modules/.virtual` (rsbuild/virtual-modules.ts `virtualPath`, with `resolvedStartConfig.root` still empty at setup), where the app's `@tanstack/react-start` does not resolve when the process runs elsewhere (`rsbuild dev --root <app>` from a monorepo root).

-
-#### `react-start-rsc/tests/integration/rsc-css-rsbuild.test.ts`
-
-- **a render call in a helper module styles the server component.** On Rsbuild, the RSC CSS transform only rewrites server function provider modules (`serverFnProviderOnly: true`), so a render call in a helper module that a server function calls gets no CSS: the server component renders unstyled, while Vite styles it.

-- **renderToReadableStream($argument) styles the stream.** The transform only wraps an argument that is JSX itself, not a conditional or logical expression whose branches are all JSX, which is as safe to wrap.
-- **a false ternary stream carries its selected badge CSS.** The alternate JSX branch has no CSS, just like the consequent. Cause: `react-start-rsc/src/plugin/rscCssTransform.ts`.
-- **dev: renderToReadableStream with $name warns, naming the file.** The transform silently skips a `renderToReadableStream` argument it cannot see the JSX of (a variable, a spread).
-- **renderToReadableStream does not render $name before the JSX argument.** A comment before the JSX argument of `renderToReadableStream` is moved into the generated CSS fragment, where it becomes JSX text.
-- **renderServerComponent styles the server component when its result is chained.** A call whose result is immediately member-called (`renderServerComponent(...).then()`) is recorded as the inner call of a method chain and never visited as a candidate itself. Cause: `start-plugin-core/src/start-compiler/compiler.ts`.

-    `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/rsbuild/dev-server.test.ts`.
-- **Rspack's vendored watchpack never reports a file removed during its first scan.** Rspack attaches its watcher
-  on the tick after a compile, and watchpack 2.5.2's first directory scan marks a file listed but deleted before
-  its `lstat` as missing without a `remove`.
-  - Harness wait (harness realism, may stay): the Rsbuild dev harness resolves only once every compiler's watcher is
-    attached and has scanned the app, and writes the initial app files with past modification times. Where:
-    `CompileTracker.watching` and the initial-write mtimes in `compiler-test-utils/src/rsbuild-dev-server.ts`.
-- **Vite full-bundle dev leaves a rejection unhandled on close.** In Vite 8 `experimental.bundledDev`,
-  `BundledDev.listen()` does not handle the `waitForInitialBuildFinish()` rejection, so closing the server during
-  its initial build logs "Failed to get bundle state". There is no public API to await it (vitejs/vite#22991).
-  - Authorized workaround: before `close()`, the harness waits for Vite's initial-build bookkeeping, reading one
-    Vite internal. Remove it once Vite handles the rejection. Where: `compiler-test-utils/src/dev-server.ts`.
-- **Vite's dependency optimizer writes its cache after `close()` resolved (final-pass #34).** Vite 8.3.4's
-  `depsOptimizer.close()` does not await all of the optimizer's work: `runOptimizeDeps().cancel()` only sets a flag the
-  Rolldown build reads before it writes, the run a scan starts while `close()` awaits that scan is never cancelled, and
-  a commit removes the previous cache directory without awaiting it. Each keeps writing or removing
-  `node_modules/.vite/deps_temp_*` after the server closed: removing the app then fails with `ENOTEMPTY`, or the build
-  fails to write into the removed app ("Error during dependency optimization", rolldown "Failed to write file", an
-  unhandled rejection).
-  - Authorized wait (ruling 2026-10-23): before `close()`, the Vite dev harnesses wait until each environment's
-    optimizer has initialized and scanned and no `deps*_temp_*` directory is left in the cache directory
-    (`closeViteServer` in `compiler-test-utils/src/dev-server.ts`; RULINGS "Vite's dependency optimizer: close
-    wait"). Remove it once Vite awaits its optimizer's work on close. Upstream report drafted, not filed.
-- **Vite keeps a stale pre-bundled dependency (final-pass #42).** Vite 8.3.4 computes an optimized dependency's
-  `fileHash` from the chunk's imports only. When a late-discovered dependency makes Rolldown export a shared module
-  from an existing chunk (`react_jsx-runtime.js` gains `export { … as t }`), the hash and the browser URL stay the
-  same, no reload is sent, and the page fails with "does not provide an export named 't'".
-  - Not reproduced since 2026-10-22 (0 hits in about 350 runs since the harness apps moved to `tanstackStart()`,
-    whose framework plugins pre-bundle React when the server starts); closed by the ruling of 2026-10-23, no
-    workaround. Reopen if seen. Signature: a page error `The requested module '/node_modules/.vite/deps/<chunk>.js?v=…'
-does not provide an export named '<one letter>'`, first seen in
-    `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-start-compiler-dev.test.ts` (the client-pages dev server) and
-    `start-compiler-dev-server.test.ts` under load.
-- **The React Refresh wrapper appends its footer without a line break.** `@vitejs/plugin-react` 6.0.1 uses Rolldown's
-  `viteReactRefreshWrapperPlugin` (Vite 8.3.4), which appends `import * as RefreshRuntime …` right after the
-  module's code. A module that ends in a line comment loses the footer's first line, and the next hot update throws
-  `RefreshRuntime is not defined`. Reachable at baseline when import protection rewrites a component module whose
-  last statement has a trailing line comment.
-  - Not pinned: the compiler's output is valid JavaScript; the concatenation is the bug. The R4 printing variant
-    was changed instead (it no longer ends its output with a line comment). No harness change.
-- **Vite's resolver cuts file paths at `#`.** Outside `node_modules`, Vite's `tryFsResolve` treats `#` in a file
-  path as a fragment (`cleanUrl`), so a query import of a file under a directory named `c#proj` does not resolve
-  (dev and build). A plain Vite app fails the same way.
-  - Not pinned (the Start build-ids pin was removed): not reachable as a compiler outcome.
-- **Vite's TypeScript transform skips `.cts`.** `vite:oxc`'s default `include` has no `.cts`, and neither it nor
-  Rolldown's extension inference handles a `.cts` id with a query. A `.cts` module with TypeScript-only syntax fails
-  in dev, and in a build once it is imported with a query, also in a plain Vite app.
-  - Not pinned (the dev pin was dropped; builds are not pinned): the compiler's query-suffixed module is ordinary
-    Vite practice.
-- **es-module-lexer cannot parse a default and a string-keyed named import in one declaration.** Vite 8's
-  es-module-lexer (2.3.2) fails on `import def, { "kebab-name" as kebab } from "x"`, which is valid JavaScript, with
-  or without Start.
-  - Test input: `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/mock-shapes.test.ts` ("every form of import and
-    re-export") writes the two imports as separate declarations. Not pinned.
-- **@vitejs/plugin-rsc's dev runtime imports a missing `default`.** Its dev runtime imports a `default` export that
-  `virtual:vite-rsc/server-references` does not provide.
-  - Scoping, not a workaround: the strict module runner of `compiler-test-utils/src/strict-runner.ts` checks named
-    imports only in the app's own modules.
-- **Node abandons a connection the kernel made when the event loop is blocked (final-pass #56).** Node's
-  address-family selection (`autoSelectFamily`) gives each address 500 ms on the event loop's clock and closes the
-  pending attempt when its timer fires. A test worker blocked for longer (other tests' synchronous work under heavy
-  load) abandoned the `::1` connection to Vite's `localhost` server and was refused at `127.0.0.1`: "no HMR
-  connection" at host start.
-  - Not a workaround: the Vite dev harness listens on `127.0.0.1`, as every other harness server does, so its URL
-    names one address. Where: `compiler-test-utils/src/dev-server.ts`; control in
-    `compiler-test-utils/tests/integration/plugin-host.test.ts`.
-- **Rspack and webpack leave unbound reads in kept dead code.** In unminified production output, Rspack 2.2 drops an
-  unused import specifier whose reader is still emitted, and both Rspack and webpack 5 drop the lexical
-  declarations after a computed `return` but keep the hoisted functions that read them.
-  - Scoping, not a workaround: the dangling-name check covers only the modules the compilers under test produced or
-    changed (SPEC G8, RULINGS "dangling names"). Where: `checkDanglingNames` in
-    `compiler-test-utils/src/build-harness.ts`; controls in `compiler-test-utils/tests/integration/build-harness.test.ts`
-    ("dangling names in webpack and Rspack production client builds").
-- **unplugin drops source maps on webpack and Rspack.** unplugin 3.3's webpack and Rspack transform loaders drop
-  the source map a plugin returns when no earlier loader passed one in (`dist/{webpack,rspack}/loaders/transform.mjs`).
-  Split chunks then map to the code splitter's output.
-  - Pinned: unplugin is the compiler's own bundler-integration layer. Where:
-    `router-plugin/tests/integration/build-source-maps.test.ts`, `router-plugin/tests/integration/dev-source-maps.test.ts`,
-    `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-source-maps.test.ts`.
-- **`@babel/generator` drops required parentheses.** Version 7.29 prints parenthesized JSX under a non-null
-  assertion or a member access (`(<p/>)!`, `(<p/>).valueOf()`) and a type assertion that is the test of a
-  conditional whose branch starts with a unary minus (`((a) as any) ? -x : y`) without their parentheses. The output
-  does not parse.
-  - Pinned: Babel is today's printer. Where: `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings.test.ts`,
-    `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-preserves-user-code.test.ts`.
-- **babel-dead-code-elimination counts `typeof` type queries as references.** Version 1.0.12 keeps a declaration
-  that only a type reads (`z.infer<typeof schema>`), with its initializer and imports
-  (pcattori/babel-dead-code-elimination#50).
-  - Pinned: today's dead-code elimination. Where: `start-plugin-core/tests/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`,
-    `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-env-separation.test.ts`.
+Each bug is pinned by `.fails` tests that assert the correct outcome and accept any correct fix. When your compiler
+fixes a bug, its pins fail with "Expect test to fail": remove the `.fails` and keep the test.
+
+One entry per root cause: the bug, the SPEC clause, the pins (`file` and test names; paths under `packages/`;
+`$name`, `%s` and `${…}` are table-row placeholders), and what a fix must achieve. The test comment (`Bug:`,
+`Impact:`) has the details. "Cause" files name today's implementation; a rewrite may have no such file.
+
+Totals: 363 pin sites in 100 test files (a table test counts once; Vitest counts each row).
+
+Pins whose input picks a name today's compiler generates (S6) flip with a compiler that generates other names. The
+adaptive pins next to them, which read the names a compiler actually generates, are the real check.
+
+## Shared causes (several jobs)
+
+**S1. JSX pragmas are not kept effective.** Code the compilers insert lands above a file's leading pragma (Oxc reads
+leading pragmas only); a non-leading pragma becomes leading in a chunk; dead-code elimination does not count a
+classic pragma as a use of its factory, so the factory import is dropped. SPEC J2.16, G12. Fix: every emitted module
+compiles its JSX under the runtime the untouched file has, and keeps the factory it needs. 13 pins:
+
+- `router-plugin/tests/code-splitter-pragmas.test.ts`: "keeps a @jsxImportSource written after the imports as
+  ineffective as in the untouched file (leading-pragma project)"; "keeps the pragma in effect in every module that
+  contains JSX"; "in the route module, when the code calling the factory is split".
+- `router-plugin/tests/integration/code-splitter-pragmas.test.ts`: "means in the split route what it means in the
+  untouched route (Vite: Oxc ignores it)".
+- `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings.test.ts`: "a split component renders
+  through the factory of a classic JSX pragma"; "a split component renders through $name"; "a factory the route
+  module creates and the loader reads is created once for the split component ($name)".
+- `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-shapes.test.ts`: "a module without JSX does not
+  import the classic factory ($name)".
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-jsx-pragma.test.ts`: "inserted server function imports stay below the
+  @jsxImportSource pragma: %s"; "client: the parent keeps selecting the pragma JSX runtime when the import it sits on
+  $name".
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`: "client: the factory of a classic JSX pragma stays
+  imported"; "ssr: a module with a classic JSX runtime pragma keeps its React import".
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-hydrate-module-level.test.ts`: "client: a module with a
+  classic JSX pragma renders through its factory".
+
+**S2. Dead-code elimination keeps what only types or non-reads mention, and never removes some declaration kinds.**
+babel-dead-code-elimination counts `typeof x` type queries, TypeScript-only positions (enum members, overload and
+constructor parameters) and a local of a function's own name as reads, and never removes classes, enums, namespaces,
+overloaded functions or redeclared `var`s. Server-only imports then stay on the client. SPEC J4.12, J2.5. Fix: code
+only server code (or only types) reads is gone from the client, with its imports. 9 pins:
+
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`: "client: $name does not load its server-only import";
+  "client: a server-only import last mentioned by a type alias is not loaded with verbatimModuleSyntax"; "client: a
+  validator schema that a type alias reads with typeof is not loaded"; "ssr: a declaration a client-only fn reads and
+  a type alias reads with typeof is not loaded".
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`: "client: the server-only module of a class
+  only server code uses is not bundled"; "client: a server-only module a type mentions is not bundled with
+  verbatimModuleSyntax".
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-user-code.test.ts`: "the decorated class only a server fn handler
+  uses is not in the client bundle".
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/createServerFn/caller-dead-code.test.ts`: "when client code uses its name in $name";
+  "callers drop a handler-only function that declares a local of its own name".
+
+**S3. The printer drops required parentheses** (`@babel/generator`): `count as number++`, `a as any ? -x : y` do not
+parse. SPEC G12. Fix: printed code parses and means the same. 4 pins:
+
+- `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings.test.ts`: "an asserted update operand keeps
+  its parentheses in a split component"; "an asserted conditional test keeps its parentheses in a split component".
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/start-compiler-preserves-user-code.test.ts`: "keeps the parentheses of asserted update
+  operands"; "keeps the parentheses of an asserted conditional test".
+
+**S4. Source maps are lost on webpack and Rspack.** unplugin's webpack and Rspack transform loaders drop the map a
+plugin returns when no earlier loader passed one in. SPEC G6. Fix: a throw in a split chunk maps to the route file's
+line (and column). 4 pins:
+
+- `router-plugin/tests/integration/build-source-maps.test.ts`: "a throw in a split component maps to its line in the
+  route file ($name)"; "a throw in $name maps to its line and column in the route file".
+- `router-plugin/tests/integration/dev-source-maps.test.ts`: "the route module and every module derived from it map a
+  throw to its line in the route file".
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-build-source-maps.test.ts`: "rsbuild build: client: a throw in a split
+  route component maps to its line in the route file ($name)".
+
+**S5. A type-only import re-exported as `export { Settings }` loses its import** (valid TypeScript without
+`verbatimModuleSyntax`), so the TypeScript transform can no longer erase the export. SPEC G1, §2.1. Fix: the module
+still compiles and the type export is erased. 2 pins:
+
+- `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings.test.ts`: "a type-only import re-exported
+  as `export { Settings }` is erased (%s)".
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`: "client and SSR: a type-only import re-exported as
+  `export { Settings }` is erased (%s)".
+
+**S6. Generated names collide with user bindings.** SPEC G15, §5.1. Fix: no generated name shadows or redeclares a
+user binding. 8 pins:
+
+- `router-plugin/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-shapes.test.ts`: "a route file binding named $name
+  keeps its value"; "route file bindings named like what the compiled modules introduce keep their values"
+  (adaptive).
+- `router-plugin/tests/known-bugs-route-hmr.test.ts`: "a user binding named hot ($name) does not collide with the
+  injected HMR code".
+- `router-plugin/tests/known-bugs-route-hmr-bindings.test.ts`: "a route file importing a binding named Map renders
+  with route HMR".
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`: "a user binding named %s does not collide with
+  generated code"; "a server fn named opts runs on the server"; "no name the compiler introduces collides with a user
+  binding or a server fn of that name" (adaptive).
+- `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/pages/known-bugs-hydrate-module-level.test.ts`: "client: module-level $name,
+  named like the generated bindings, do not collide".
+
+## J1 Route file upkeep (30 pins)
+
+- **A `(group).tsx` route file is reported relative to the routes directory** (neither absolute nor project-relative).
+  SPEC §2.2, §5.7. `router-generator/tests/deny-route-group-config.test.ts`: "a (group).tsx route file is reported by
+  name or routes correctly: $name". Fix: name the file unambiguously, or route it.
+- **A running generator loses child routes when their layout file is deleted.** SPEC J1.10, J1.4.
+  `router-generator/tests/generator-dev.test.ts`: "deleting a layout route keeps its child routes in the route tree".
+  Fix: a watch run gives the tree a fresh run gives.
+- **A deleted route tree is never written again** (the next run fails with ENOENT). SPEC J1.10.
+  `router-generator/tests/generator-dev.test.ts`: "a deleted route tree is written again on its delete event"; "after
+  the route tree is deleted, adding a route writes the route tree". Fix: regenerate the tree.
+- **Edits of the `virtualRouteConfig` file and of `__virtual.ts` files are ignored** (the event's absolute path is
+  compared with the configured relative path; the config comes from jiti's cache; Rsbuild never sees the file).
+  SPEC J1.10. `router-generator/tests/generator-dev.test.ts`: "editing the virtualRouteConfig file updates the route
+  tree"; `router-plugin/tests/integration/dev-server-generator-watching.test.ts` and
+  `router-plugin/tests/integration/rsbuild-dev-server-generator-watching.test.ts`: "an edit of the virtual route config
+  file changes the live routes"; "an edit of a \_\_virtual.ts file changes the live routes". Fix: reload the config and
+  regenerate on each such edit.
+- **An event that arrives while a run checks no-op events is dropped.** SPEC J1.10.
+  `router-generator/tests/generator-dev.test.ts`: "a route created while an update event that changed nothing is
+  checked joins the route tree". Fix: no delivered event is lost.
+- **An empty `.ts` route file is scaffolded with JSX, then parsed as TypeScript** and the run fails. SPEC J1.3.
+  `router-generator/tests/generator-options.test.ts`: "an empty .ts route file is scaffolded, and the other routes
+  still generate". Fix: a valid scaffold, and the other routes generate.
+- **`importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths` is not applied to lazy route imports.** SPEC J1.4.
+  `router-generator/tests/generator-options.test.ts`: "importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths imports the lazy route files by
+  absolute paths too".
+- **`tmpDir` on another filesystem fails every write with EXDEV.** SPEC J1.16.
+  `router-generator/tests/generator-options.test.ts`: "with tmpDir on another filesystem, the route file and the route
+  tree are replaced atomically" (skipped without a writable `/dev/shm`). Fix: rename a temp file written beside the
+  destination.
+- **A layout in a route-group directory is typed `fullPath: ''`**, while the router gives it `/`. SPEC J1.13.
+  `router-generator/tests/integration/fixture-types-physical.test.ts`: "the "%s" route tree types its routes like the
+  router"; `router-generator/tests/integration/route-types.test.ts`: "the layout route of a route group directory has
+  the full path of the router in the types".
+- **The generator recognises `createFileRoute` by name, not by binding.** An aliased import is missed; an app's own
+  `createFileRoute` is rebound to the router package. SPEC G15, J1.1. `router-generator/tests/known-bugs.test.ts`: "a
+  moved route with an aliased import of the constructor gets the id of its new path"; "a moved route importing
+  createFileRoute from a module of the app stays a valid module"; `router-generator/tests/route-file-upkeep.test.ts`:
+  "a createFileRoute $name keeps its meaning: the file is left as it is, or reported". Fix: follow the import.
+- **A pathless layout present only as a lazy file or a Vue piece loses its directory path.** SPEC J1.8.
+  `router-generator/tests/real-router.test.ts`: "a pathless layout with only a lazy route file keeps its directory
+  path"; `router-generator/tests/route-paths.test.ts`: "a pathless layout with only $name under a path keeps the path
+  in the URLs of its children".
+- **A childless pathless layout gives "Conflicting configuration paths".** SPEC J1.15.
+  `router-generator/tests/route-paths.test.ts`: "a pathless layout without child routes yet ($name) next to the index
+  route is added to the route tree".
+- **A pathless layout under a lazy-only route attaches to the next real ancestor.** SPEC J1.14.
+  `router-generator/tests/route-paths.test.ts`: "a pathless layout in a directory under a route with only a lazy
+  route file nests under that route".
+- **File paths and ids are written into quoted strings unescaped** (an apostrophe breaks the tree). SPEC J1.6.
+  `router-generator/tests/route-paths.test.ts`: "a route file name with an apostrophe gets a route with it in its
+  URL".
+- **Routes whose paths differ only in non-identifier characters or case get the same variable.** SPEC J1.6.
+  `router-generator/tests/route-paths.test.ts`: "routes $ids get their own routes".
+- **A piece next to a directory route (`posts/route.component.vue`) makes its own route `/posts/route`.** SPEC J1.4.
+  `router-generator/tests/route-pieces.test.ts`: "a component piece of a directory route (route.component.vue) is the
+  component of the route".
+- **`.lazy.vue` is wired as a lazy route, and an empty one is scaffolded with TypeScript.** SPEC J1.17, J1.3.
+  `router-generator/tests/route-pieces.test.ts`: "a .lazy.vue route file is the lazily loaded component of the
+  route"; "an empty .lazy.vue route file is not filled with TypeScript route code".
+- **With pieces on the root route only, the tree calls `lazyRouteComponent` without importing it.** SPEC G1, J1.4.
+  `router-generator/tests/route-pieces.test.ts`: "pieces of the root route only are lazy components of their default
+  export".
+- **Rsbuild: a route file created under a `physical()` mount outside the routes directory is never seen.** SPEC
+  J1.10. `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-rsbuild-generator-physical.test.ts`: "a route file created under a
+  physical() mount outside the routes directory reaches the live routes".
+- **Rsbuild: a route file the generator cannot parse is left out of the bundle, so its fix is never seen.** SPEC
+  J1.10, G5. `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-rsbuild-generator.test.ts`: "a created route file the
+  generator cannot parse is reported, and fixing it adds the route".
+
+## J2 Route code splitting (103 pins: 87 below, 16 in S1, S3–S6)
+
+Router-plugin paths below are under `router-plugin/tests/`; `pages/` means `integration/pages/`.
+
+- **Imported route options are not read** (only an object literal of the route file is): nothing is split or
+  deleted, silently. SPEC J2.8, J2.14. `code-splitter-imported-options.test.ts`: "are split, or reported once naming
+  the route file"; "lose the options of deleteNodes and what only they import, or are reported once naming the route
+  file". (Start's client build: J2.14 section.)
+- **A JSX tag starting with `_`, `$` or a non-ASCII lowercase letter is taken for an intrinsic element.** SPEC J2.4.
+  `code-splitter-jsx.test.ts`: "gives separate loader and component chunks the one JSX component %s".
+- **The esbuild adapter never runs the generator in a build**, so nothing is split and nothing refuses. SPEC J2.18.
+  `integration/build-harness.test.ts`: "router plugin with esbuild loads a split component lazily and renders it, or
+  refuses the build (%s)".
+- **An already-lazy option value is wrapped again** and suspends after preload. SPEC §6 OQ13.
+  `integration/code-splitter-router.test.ts`: "renders without a new request or a pending fallback once the router
+  preloaded it".
+- **Default-exported declarations shared by options are duplicated** ("Duplicate declaration"). SPEC J2.4.
+  `integration/code-splitter-runtime.test.ts`: "preserves executable route contracts with shared named-default
+  declarations"; `pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings.test.ts`: "a split option renders the default-exported
+  component other modules import"; "a default-exported function the loader and the split component call works on one
+  state".
+- **Split chunks keep exports of the route file their option does not use.** SPEC J2.5.
+  `integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-page-code.test.ts`: "$name loads with its chunk"; "${exportedSharedByOptions.name}
+  loads with its chunk"; "${unreadExport.name} is not in its chunk"; `pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-shapes.test.ts`: "a
+  split chunk holds only what its option needs, not the other exports of the route file"; "split chunks do not
+  re-export or declare the re-exports and default class of the route file". Fix: a chunk carries only what its group
+  needs.
+- **Split chunks copy exported declarations they read instead of importing them** (two instances), or miss an
+  export written as `X as any`. SPEC J2.4. `integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-ssr-builds.test.ts`: "the split
+  component and other modules share an exported $name"; `integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-client-builds.test.ts`:
+  "an exported errorComponent written as `PostErrorComponent as any` is one instance in the client (vite build)";
+  `pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings.test.ts`: "an exported errorComponent written as `%s` is the instance its
+  importers get". Fix: one instance for importers and chunks.
+- **Bindings that read `Route` are never shared**, so chunks copy them. SPEC J2.4.
+  `pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings.test.ts`: "an exported function that reads Route is the one the split
+  component calls"; "a destructuring whose sibling reads Route keeps one cache for the loader and the component".
+- **A split component reading `Route` declared with `const` and exported later (`export { Route }`) recreates the
+  route.** SPEC J2.4. `pages/known-bugs-code-splitter-bindings.test.ts`: "a split component reads the route the route
+  module exports through export { Route }".
+- **Root routes are never split.** SPEC J2.7 (goal). `integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-page-code.test.ts`: "a root
+  route's %s loads lazily".
+- **A component declared by a destructuring is not split, or the build throws.** SPEC J2.8, J2.9.
+  `integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-page-code.test.ts`: "${destructured.name} load with their chunk or are

+  `pages/known-bugs-hydrate-module-level.test.ts`: "client: $name that the children rely on reaches the chunk";
+  "client: a var declared in a nested block that the children read reaches the chunk"; "client: a TypeScript import
+  alias used by the split children is declared in the chunk"; "client: $name used by the children reaches the chunk".
+- **The chunk removes any binding named `Route` without importing the route.** SPEC G1, J2.4.
+  `pages/known-bugs-hydrate-module-level.test.ts`: "client: split children reading Route $name use the one route";
+  "client: an unexported component named Route that the children render reaches the chunk".
+- **A hook called through a namespace (`React.useId()`) is not rejected.** SPEC J5.5.
+  `pages/hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts`: "client: a hook called through a namespace is rejected at the boundary".
+- **Children are read from JSX children only, never from a `children` prop or spread.** SPEC J5.2, J5.4.

+- **Server and client number boundaries differently** (a boundary in a `fallback`, a copied component, code other
+  transforms removed first). SPEC J5.4. `pages/known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts`: "a Hydrate inside a fallback does not shift
+  the chunks of later boundaries"; "client: $name hydrates like the server renders it"; "a later boundary keeps its id
+  and its children next to $name".
+- **Text children move as raw strings** (no JSX line collapsing; edge spaces dropped). SPEC G1, J5.9.
+  `pages/known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts`: "client: a text-only child renders like JSX text: $name"; "client: spaces around a
+  single child on one line render like on the server".
+- **Capture analysis is wrong**: locals named `key`/`ref` become React props; tags starting with `_`, `$` or non-ASCII
+  letters, member-expression tags and enums are not passed; bindings declared inside the children and property names
+  are taken for captures; `arguments` changes meaning. SPEC J5.2. `pages/known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts`: "client: captured

+- **`onViolation` returning `false` only silences the report**: the mock was already chosen. SPEC J6.6.
+  `ip/build-markers.test.ts`: "allows the import of %s: the build succeeds and the client gets the real module";
+  `ip/dev.test.ts`: "returning false allows the import: the client gets the real module"; "with behavior "error", an
+  import of a denied file it allows gets the real module"; `ip/v2-policy.test.ts`: "the client gets the real module".
+- **Exempt importers get the mock** (the denied file is mocked in its own transform, for every importer). SPEC J6.7.
+  `ip/exemptions.test.ts`: "the exempt importer gets the real module, and is not reported" (two tables);
+  `ip/v2-policy.test.ts`: "an importer $how gets the real module".
+- **With `include`, a denied file outside the patterns is never mocked.** SPEC J6.8. `ip/exemptions.test.ts`: "an
+  importer that is not exempt gets the mock and is reported" (two tables).
+- **Marker violations ignore which importer is exempt** (Vite reports the marked module; Rsbuild mocks it for every
+  importer and blames the nearest chain). SPEC J6.7, J6.5. `ip/build-markers.test.ts`: "imported only by an ignored
+  importer does not fail the build"; "imported only by an ignored importer: the ignored importer gets the real module";
+  "in mock mode, an ignored importer gets the real module, another importer a safe mock, and only the other importer is
+  reported"; "imported by an ignored importer and, further from the entry, another importer: the violation blames the
+  other importer".
+- **`mockAccess` is ignored in production and server mocks** (always silent). SPEC J6.3. `ip/build-mock.test.ts`:
+  "with mockAccess $mockAccess, using the mock of $denied is reported as an $severity naming the import";
+  `ip/dev.test.ts`: "$mockAccess: the server gets a safe mock, and using it is reported as an $severity naming the
+  import".
+- **A build marker violation mocks only the marker import**; the marked module keeps its code. SPEC J6.3, J6.8.
+  `ip/build-mock.test.ts`: "%s is mocked, with a warning".
+- **`export *` from a denied module re-exports nothing** (`undefined` in an Rsbuild build; the importer fails to load
+  in dev). SPEC J6.8. `ip/build-mock.test.ts`: "a name re-exported with `export \*` from a denied specifier is a safe
+  mock, or the build fails"; `known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`: "client: a name re-exported with `export \*` from $name is
+  a mock, or the server warns at the `export \*`".
+- **`excludeFiles` and dependency markers are handled inconsistently** (Vite checks a dependency's marker whatever
+  `excludeFiles` says; Rsbuild skips it even with `excludeFiles: []`; with `excludeFiles: []` dev rewrites to the real
+  file or reports nothing). SPEC J6.10. `ip/build-options.test.ts`: "by default, the server-only marker of a dependency
+  is not checked"; "[] checks the markers of dependencies: a server-only-marked dependency fails the build";
+  `ip/dev.test.ts`: "by default, is not logged, and the client gets the real module"; "with excludeFiles: [], is logged,
+  and the client gets a safe mock"; `ip/default-rules.test.ts`: "the client reports the dependency file it denies, and
+  does not load it"; "the server reports the dependency file it denies".
+- **Rsbuild builds count denied modules the client bundle dropped.** SPEC J6.4. `ip/build.test.ts`: "a
+  server-only-marked module re-exported by a barrel the client uses other exports of builds without any report";
+  `ip/known-bugs.test.ts`: "a denied module the client bundle drops does not fail the build"; "in mock mode, an unused
+  denied module leaves nothing in the client bundle and no warning".
+- **Dev logs only violations reachable from Start's router and start entries.** SPEC J6.9. `ip/dev-page.test.ts`: "a
+  denied import of a module the client entry imports is logged"; "a client-only import of a module the server entry
+  imports is mocked on the server and logged".
+- **An edit drops every import-graph edge pointing at the edited module**, so new violations are discarded. SPEC
+  J6.13. `ip/dev.test.ts`: "added by an edit of the importer is logged at its original import or surviving use, with a
+  trace from the entry"; "'always' logs a violation again after an edit"; `ip/v2-edits-page.test.ts`: "the step reports
+  its violations, and only those".
+- **`log` counts are wrong in dev** (one import logged for the specifier and again for the mock's resolved path, and
+  twice per load with `'always'`). SPEC J6.5. `ip/dev.test.ts`: "'once' logs one warning for one import"; "'always' logs
+  one warning for one import each time its module is loaded".
+- **An MDX importer's location ignores its source map.** SPEC J6.5. `ip/dev.test.ts`: "importing a denied file, the
+  warning names the .mdx page, located in its original mapped source".
+- **Dev reads `getModuleInfo(importer).code`, which Vite's dev server does not support.** SPEC J6.8.
+  `ip/dev.test.ts`: "importing a denied specifier gets the mock, and the dev server logs a warning naming it";
+  `known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`: "client: a server fn module calling a function of a denied specifier at the top
+  level loads".
+- **Marker state is known only after a transform**, and Vite keeps importers' transforms after an edit. SPEC J6.11,
+  J6.13. `ip/dev.test.ts`: "is mocked when the client loads the importer first"; "after an edit adds the marker, the
+  violation is logged"; "after an edit adds the marker, the importer gets the mock"; `known-bugs-dev-server.test.ts`:
+  "client: the importer of a module whose server-only marker was removed loads the module".
+- **Server-fn lookups pre-transform modules and silence them** (recorded as lookup modules by path). SPEC J6.4.
+  `ip/dev.test.ts`: "a helper a server fn factory module uses only inside .server() is not logged";
+  `ip/known-bugs-dev.test.ts`: "a server fn factory module calling a denied import at the top level fails to load"; "a
+  module a server fn factory module imports, calling a denied import at the top level, fails to load".
+- **A map's relative `sources` are taken as the importer's file.** SPEC J6.5, §5.7. `ip/dev.test.ts`: "a denied import
+  of a module a server fn factory module re-exports is reported at its original import or use, with its path".
+- **Warm-up and per-environment `buildStart` discard pending violations.** SPEC J6.11. `ip/dev.test.ts`: "a denied
+  import of a module warmed up before its importers is logged once the client loads the app"; "with
+  perEnvironmentStartEndDuringDev, a denied import of a module the client loads after the server rendered is logged".
+- **Full-bundle dev takes route modules as entries**, so traces stop early. SPEC J6.5. `ip/dev.test.ts`: "the trace of a
+  denied file imported from a module of src/routes leads from the router entry".
+- **The silent mock loads only by its exact id**, not with the lookup query. SPEC J6.8, G11. `ip/dev.test.ts`: "with
+  mockAccess off, a server fn built with a factory of a denied file gets the mock in the client bundle and is logged at
+  its original import or use".
+- **Source maps for diagnostics are captured only for some modules**, so locations are compiled coordinates. SPEC
+  J6.5. `ip/dev.test.ts`: "in a JSX module, a use of a denied file imported through a subpath import alias is located on
+  its source line"; `ip/reported-location-trace.test.ts`: "$build: after $name".
+- **`maxTraceDepth` is applied from the entry side** and loses the importer. SPEC J6.5. `ip/dev.test.ts`: "with
+  maxTraceDepth, a deeper trace is cut, keeping the importer".
+- **Rsbuild checks importers by file extension** (JS/TS only): custom module types and `.mdx` are never checked. SPEC
+  J6.1, §2.1. `ip/known-bugs-dev.test.ts`: "a module of a custom type importing $name is reported, and its real code does
+  not run"; "an .mdx page importing $name is reported in its source, and its real code does not run".
+- **A specifier mock exports only statically read names, and an Rsbuild mock build inlines enum values.** SPEC J6.8.
+  `ip/known-bugs-dev.test.ts`: "vite dev: ${name}."
+- **Rsbuild: a dynamic `import()` of a denied specifier is neither reported nor mocked.** SPEC J6.1.
+  `ip/known-bugs.test.ts`: "a client dynamic import of a denied specifier fails the build, reporting one client
+  violation".
+- **Denied non-JS/TS files (`.server.json`, `.server.cjs`) keep their content or fail the build.** SPEC J6.8.
+  `ip/known-bugs.test.ts`: "in mock mode, a denied .server.json file is mocked, with a warning"; "in mock mode, a denied
+  .server.cjs file is mocked, with a warning".
+- **Traces skip modules outside the source directory (Vite) or collapse when a module imports the entry back
+  (Rsbuild).** SPEC J6.5. `ip/reported-location-trace.test.ts`: "the trace goes through modules outside the source
+  directory"; "the trace starts at the entry when a module imports the entry back".
+- **The usage lookup misjudges uses** (a member property named like the import, any `<name>ServerFn.handler(...)`,
+  type positions, JSX elements, a wrapped `createServerOnlyFn` argument). SPEC J6.5. `ip/reported-location.test.ts`:
+  "$channel: $name." (four tables).
+- **Rsbuild names the importer after the source map URL** (`webpack://…/./src/a.tsx`). SPEC J6.5, §5.7.
+  `ip/reported-location.test.ts`: "$channel ($name): a JSX element."
+- **A violation through a vite-tsconfig-paths alias reports the mapped specifier, without a location.** SPEC J6.5,
+  G11. `ip/v2-alias.test.ts`: "the build fails, reporting the aliased specifier at its original line".
+- **Rsbuild `source.transformImport` bypasses specifier denials, and its locations do not map back.** SPEC J6.1,
+  J6.5. `rsbuild/import-protection.test.ts`: "the file rule denies the module it resolves to: the importer is reported at
+  the import or the use"; "denied as written, the build fails on it, reporting the importer at the import or the use".

+- **Rsbuild writes Start's virtual modules under `process.cwd()`.** SPEC G11, J4.16. `rsc-css-rsbuild-root.test.ts`:
+  "Rsbuild: the app compiles when the process does not run in the app directory".
+- **Rsbuild injects CSS in server-fn provider modules only**, so a render call in a helper module is unstyled. SPEC
+  J7.1, J7.2. `rsc-css-rsbuild.test.ts`: "a render call in a helper module styles the server component".
+- **A conditional whose branches are all JSX is not wrapped.** SPEC J7.3. `rsc-css.test.ts`:

-# The compiler test oracle
+# Compiler test suite
 
-This directory explains the test suite that defines a good TanStack Router/Start compiler. Read it before you
-replace or rewrite a compiler (for example to move off Babel).
-
-- [SPEC.md](./SPEC.md): what a good compiler must do. Every clause id a test cites (`J4.12`, `G3`, `§5.7`) is
-  defined there.
-- [RULINGS.md](./RULINGS.md): the maintainers' decisions behind the spec, and the authorized test workarounds.
-- [KNOWN-BUGS.md](./KNOWN-BUGS.md): the bugs of today's compilers, pinned as `.fails` tests, and the upstream
-  issues.
-- [../AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md): how to run a slice, the helpers, the lanes and the budgets.
-
-## The goal
-
-A compiler that passes `test:unit` and `test:integration` in these five packages should be a good compiler, and a
-correct compiler built differently from today's should pass them too:
-
-- `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils` (the shared harness and its controls)
-- `@tanstack/router-generator`
-- `@tanstack/router-plugin`
-- `@tanstack/start-plugin-core`
-- `@tanstack/react-start-rsc`
-
-Nothing else decides acceptance. The tests assert outcomes that users and the docs see, not today's printed code,
-generated names or module layout. SPEC §5 lists what a correct compiler may do differently.
-
-## Status
-
-The suite was repaired (October 2026) so that it reaches the compilers only through public entry points, runs real
-tools, and judges client code in a real browser. Then it was simplified: the import gate was deleted; diagnostics are
-checked by file and position only; import protection is read through `onViolation`; free names come from Yuku; and
-the test apps live in temporary directories. What was measured on the integrated branch (FINAL-2, at f16aae85ac, on
-beetle with 3 trees × 4 workers, and locally for the budgets), and re-measured after the fixes F-L and F-M (at
-57addcc41e, on beetle the same way: 3 unpatched runs, R1–R11, the 34 valid greens, and 18 reds whose catching rows those
-fixes touched; every lane locally), and again after the rulings of 2026-10-23 (F-O, at c2161c4d14, the same way:
-3 unpatched runs, R1–R11, the 34 valid greens, and the 17 reds whose catching rows are in files the rulings changed;
-every lane locally):
-
-- **Today's compilers pass every acceptance test.** The unpatched suite ran 9 times (3 rounds of 3 trees in
-  parallel, 1-minute load up to about 60 on 32 cores).
-  - Every tier and lane gave the counts below in every run, except start-plugin-core `test:integration`. That tier
-    had one or two #34 rows in 6 of the 9 runs (9 rows), each of which passed alone.
-  - No #42 failure, and no other failure.
-  - At 57addcc41e: the 3 unpatched runs gave the counts below; one #34 row in one run, which passed alone.
-  - At c2161c4d14 (after the rulings): the 3 unpatched runs gave the counts below with no failing row, and no #34
-    signature in any of the 65 beetle jobs (the dev harnesses now wait for Vite's optimizer before `close()`, ruling
-    #34). Locally, one router-plugin `test:integration` run failed 9 rows with Chromium's
-    `net::ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES` (caveats below); the re-run passed.
-  - FINAL-2 saw one more failure, only locally: router-plugin `integration/generator-watch-mode.test.ts` "webpack: a
-    created route file is scaffolded …" failed now and then (3 of 6 full runs, 4 of 15 alone, with `/tmp` on tmpfs).
-    F-M found the cause in today's route generator, not in a tool or the file system: an event that reaches
-    `Generator.run()` while a run checks events that changed nothing is dropped. Webpack rebuilt right after the
-    session's first build (for the route tree that build wrote), and a route file created at that moment was lost.
-    That bug is now pinned deterministically (router-generator `generator-dev.test.ts` "events that arrive
-    together"), and the watch session starts on an app with its route tree and no recent change, so nothing is
-    pending when the test creates the file: 20 of 20 alone runs passed on tmpfs.
-- **Restructured compilers pass.** Eleven behaviour-preserving restructures of today's compilers
-  (R1–R11) were run against the whole acceptance suite. They cover: moved modules, renamed ids and generated names,
-  another printer, reworded diagnostics, another AST seam, other report channels, another server-function provider
-  architecture, other chunk layouts, other trace order, and other loader paths. Every failing file was re-run alone
-  with and without the restructure.
-  - R1, R3–R6 and R8–R11: no acceptance test fails.
-  - R2 (moved internal modules) fails only the Q5 row (`handle-route-update.test.ts`, since deleted: RULINGS "Q5").
-  - R7 (every compiler diagnostic on the console, a short error to the bundler) failed one row at FINAL-2:
-    start-plugin-core `integration/importProtection/reported-location.test.ts` "rsbuild dev: a re-export". Its
-    helper `expectNoOtherErrors` took everything before the first colon of the importer as its file, so Rsbuild's
-    `webpack:/src/a.tsx:2:1` (the F2 pin) gave `webpack`, and the row passed only because the full report contained
-    that word. F-M fixed it: a location is split at a trailing `:line(:column)` only (`locationParts`), and an error
-    counts as "about the violation" when it names the importer's file (`mentionsFile`). The row passes under R7 and
-    still fails on an unrelated error.
-  - At 57addcc41e: R1, R3–R11 no acceptance row; R2 only the Q5 row (and one #34 row, which passed 4 of 4 alone
-    with R2).
-  - At c2161c4d14: R1–R11 no acceptance row, R2 included (the Q5 row is deleted), and no flake.
-  - Expected pin flips, where the restructure fixes the pinned bug (the same at c2161c4d14): R3 ×6 (user names that collide with today's
-    generated names), R8 ×10 (SSR runs server functions in place, #7213), R9 ×3 (entry re-export of shared bindings).
-  - 4 rows failed once and passed alone, plus 1 that the clean tree also failed alone: all #34.
-  - The noncompiler lane (never counted) fails 43 rows under R1: main's own manifest and Rsbuild client-build tests
-    build module ids with the `tsr-split` query.
-- **Wrong compilers are caught, correct ones pass.** The adversarial variants of rounds 1 and 2 (product patches
-  written by reviewers) were run against `test:unit` + `test:integration`; the noncompiler lane was recorded, never
-  counted.
-  - **All 90 red (wrong) variants are caught**, each by acceptance tests that fail again when their file runs alone
-    and pass alone without the variant. None is caught only by a non-acceptance lane.
-  - **All 34 valid green (correct but different) variants pass.**
-    - green-sol/20 flips its two expected pins (it fixes that bug).
-    - green-sol/01 is ruled not a valid green.
-    - green-sol-r2/10 failed only a #34 row; it passed 3 of 3 alone runs with the patch.
-  - Every red caught in the previous measurement (633a4c0917) is still caught.
-    - 68 reds are caught by the same rows, 5 by more rows, and 17 by fewer or other rows. Most of the rows they lost
-      were #34 failures (not catches) or were renamed.
-    - **red-fable-r2/18** (violation columns reported zero-based) is caught by 100 rows instead of 171. The 53 rows
-      that now pass read the importer's file only, through `onViolation`; before, they parsed the printed report.
-    - **red-fable/20** (a mixed type/value import treated as type-only) is caught by one row instead of two
-      (`v2-type-only.test.ts` "rsbuild dev").
-    - red-astra-r2/15 is still caught by its own row only.
-  - After S-A and S-B, REVIEW-S (at f16aae85ac) found wrong compilers no row caught: a Start that prints no
-    import-protection warning in Vite dev, a wrong-environment `createServerOnlyFn`/`createClientOnlyFn` replaced by
-    no function, an unguarded `Buffer` read in a client chunk that also probes `typeof Buffer`, an Rsbuild RSC setup
-    that `structuredClone`s rule functions, a compile error located in another module. F-L fixed the tests: each of
-    these patches is now caught, and a Start that only calls `onViolation` more often (same printed output) passes
-    the `log` rows. The 90 reds and 34 greens above were measured at f16aae85ac, before F-L.
-  - Re-run at 57addcc41e (after F-L, which tightened checks, and F-M):
-    - the 34 valid greens pass, apart from #34 rows that passed alone and green-sol/20's two expected pin flips;
-      **one exception**: in green-sol/17's run the pin `known-bugs-start-compiler-dev.test.ts` "transforms a client
-      module with a server fn and a top-level call of a pre-bundled dependency" (a dev-server deadlock) passed once,
-      at a load of about 22, and failed again alone (first flip in about 210 suite runs). F-N: the order of the
-      test's requests decided it, not the compiler. Vite's dependency optimizer ends its first crawl of static
-      imports when no request is in flight 50 ms after it starts; the test's first request came after
-      `createServer()` had started the optimizer, and a loaded machine can delay it past those 50 ms, so the
-      transform was not in the crawl and did not deadlock. The test now requests the module before the server
-      listens (Vite starts the optimizer in `listen()`), so the transform is always in the crawl;
-    - 18 reds: the 14 whose catching rows are in files F-L or F-M changed, red-astra/12 and red-fable-r2/13 (caught
-      by the dangling-name check, which F-L changed), red-fable/20 and red-astra-r2/15 (each caught by one row). All
-      18 are caught, by the same rows as before, except red-fable-r2/18 (99 rows instead of 100: "'always' logs a
-      violation again when the dev server reloads every module" now counts printed warnings and passes) and
-      red-fable/25, whose second row had failed only on #34.
-  - Re-run at c2161c4d14 (after the rulings):
-    - the 34 valid greens pass, apart from green-sol/20's two expected pin flips. One row failed once, in
-      green-sol-r2/08's run at a load of about 28, and passed alone with and without the patch: start-plugin-core
-      `integration/pages/hydrate-split-modules.test.ts` "client: the source maps of the chunk and the parent point at
-      the original code" ("the case code the page requested once it hydrated: expected [] to not deeply equal []").
-      Not #34; first seen in about 280 suite runs; not investigated (open);
-    - the 17 reds whose catching rows are in files the rulings changed are all caught, by the same rows as in
-      round 6, plus one more row for red-fable/11; red-fable/25 lost only its #34 row again.
-- **No internal imports.** No acceptance test imports compiler internals: the last ones, the Q5 row and router-plugin's
-  hand-built Start composition (`createRouterPluginContext`, Q8), were deleted (RULINGS "Q5", "Q8", 2026-10-23).
-- **Tests write nothing into the repository.** After a full unpatched run of a tree, `git status --porcelain
---ignored` and the packages' `node_modules` dot entries are the same as before.
-  - Since the Q2 ruling (2026-10-23) no file at all: the `nested` type tests run on a copy of the fixture. At
-    c2161c4d14 every later beetle job of a tree and an uncached local run of every lane left `git status
---porcelain --ignored` and the dot entries identical (the first job of a tree adds only Nx's `dist/` and
-    `.nx/` and the tools' caches).
-  - Outside the repository, a run can leave Chromium's `.org.chromium.Chromium.*` directories in the system
-    temporary directory. At FINAL-2 it could also leave its run directory `tanstack-compiler-tests-*` with an empty
-    `generator/` (13 of 20 runs on beetle). The cause: each test process removed its apps when it exited, while
-    Vitest's global teardown removed the whole run directory, and Node's `fs.rmSync` (Node 24 and 26, not 22)
-    returns without an error and leaves the rest behind when another process removes part of the tree meanwhile
-    (an upstream Node bug). Since F-M the run's teardown alone removes the run directory: no run directory was
-    left in 66 beetle jobs and 5 local router-plugin runs.
-- **Fast, with little margin.** On a quiet machine (load below 4 at the start, no other test run) at 4 workers,
-  every tier passed its hard budget in strict mode in its valid runs. No slow-tier file took over 15 s:
-
-  | Package                         | `test:unit` (target / hard) | `test:integration` (target / hard) | slowest slow-tier file |
-  | ------------------------------- | --------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------- |
-  | `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils` | 2.7 s (2.5 / 4)             | 7.7 s (9 / 15)                     | 6.7 s                  |
-  | `@tanstack/router-generator`    | 3.7 s (3 / 5)               | 6.6 s (8 / 12)                     | 6.5 s                  |
-  | `@tanstack/router-plugin`       | 8.3 s (7.5 / 10)            | 70.3–70.9 s (60 / 80)              | 12.0 s                 |
-  | `@tanstack/start-plugin-core`   | 5.8–5.9 s (5.5 / 8)         | 84.8–85.0 s (65 / 90)              | 14.6 s                 |
-  | `@tanstack/react-start-rsc`     | no test files               | 12.9 s (13 / 20)                   | 6.1 s                  |
-
-  start-plugin-core `test:integration` is about 5 s under its hard limit. Another agent's test runs on the same
-  machine pushed it over twice (91.0 s, 93.3 s). Runs with a #34 failure, and the router-plugin runs that hit the
-  watch row above, are not measurements. Several tiers are over their target and under their hard limit.
-
-- **Memory.** start-plugin-core `test:integration` uses about 4.4 GB per worker (#57). Three such runs at once took a
-  60 GB machine to 0 GB available, so the measurement runner lets at most two run at a time.

-
-- **Rulings of 2026-10-23, Start side** (RULINGS "Q3", "Q4"): start-plugin-core `test:integration` +3 passed and +1
-  pin (Q4: the `export *` of a denied file or specifier is a safe mock or a failed build, Vite and Rsbuild; the
-  Rsbuild specifier row is a pin); Q3 changed no row. Before them, react-start-rsc `test:integration` +1 pin (an
-  Rsbuild RSC CSS pin moved in from e2e, fb72ef4e73).
-- **Rulings of 2026-10-23, router side** (RULINGS "Q1", "Q2", "Q5", "Q8", "Q9"; the router-generator and
-  router-plugin rows above are after them, local runs): router-generator `test:unit` −22 passed (Q1: the 10 rows of
-  `concurrent-write.test.ts`; Q2: the 12 type tests of the `types` project, now one row of `test:integration`, +1),
-  the K-19 pin moved to `generator-options.test.ts`; router-plugin `test:unit` −2 passed (Q5: the updater row; Q8:
-  the two code splitters sharing a context) and −1 pin (Q9: the immediate `tsr.config.json` reload),
-  `test:integration` +1 passed (Q5: the second-router row on Vite and Rsbuild, +2; Q8: two router plugins in one dev

-- **S-A** (import gate, violation-report reader and diagnostic word-list controls deleted, pins that only asked for
-  message content deleted; RULINGS "diagnostics: file and position only"): ctu `test:unit` −147 (import gate 9,
-  diagnostics controls 138); router-plugin `test:integration` −6 pins; start-plugin-core `test:unit` −118 passed,

-  deleted, 2 real-app rows added: Start's own `createCsrfMiddleware`, a `createMiddleware` read through a namespace of

-- **F-M** (the FINAL-2 findings): router-generator `test:unit` +1 passed, +1 pin (the dropped generator event, and
-  its control).
-- **NOL-delete** and the clean-up after the merge: the implementation lane is gone (below); no acceptance row
-  changed, apart from start-plugin-core `test:unit` −2 pins (the F1 caret pin, which read the code frame: RULINGS
-  "code-frame column (F1)") and ctu `test:unit` −34 (the controls of the deleted Node stand-ins `module-linker`,
-  `lazy-probe` and `importBindings`, and of a determinism projection that ran through `module-linker`).
-- **S-B** (free names from Yuku's semantic model in `free-names.ts`, replacing the hand scope analysers
-  `validate-module.ts`/`source-attribution.ts`; router-plugin's production bundle compared with its `addHmr: false`
-  control build, replacing `added-code.ts`): ctu `test:unit` −72 (validate-module 68, added-code 4), ctu

-The measurement F-E-b ran at 45f58967ea. The passes below came after it and are covered by F-H (633a4c0917; the F-I
-pass by F-H's start-plugin-core part) and by the measurement above (FINAL-2, f16aae85ac). The final pass F-F (October 2026) re-audited "no re-implementation; client semantics in a browser" file by file and changed tests and
-helpers (below); its changes were validated locally (every tier and lane above, the strict import gate, since deleted). Count changes against
-45f58967ea: ctu `test:unit` −3 (the controls of the deleted
-Node stand-in `evaluateServed`), ctu `test:integration` +1 (a control of the build-decided dangling-name check),
-router-plugin `test:implementation` −1 (the control of a deleted path filter), start-plugin-core `test:unit` +4
-(controls of the content-based suggestion reader). The final pass F-G2 (after F-F, validated the same way) changed:
-router-plugin `test:integration` +1 (the webpack `addHmr: false` build cell replaced by a webpack dev server row and
-its control), start-plugin-core `test:integration` +1 (a control of the unused-chunk pins of
-`known-bugs-hydrate.test.ts`), start-plugin-core `test:implementation` +1 (a control of the safe-mock probe), ctu
-`test:integration` +3 (controls of `hmr-sync.ts`, one of them for an update the page invalidates), start-plugin-core `test:unit` −1 expected-fail row (the fast-tier
-copy of the computed-member request middleware pin; its build twin in `integration/start-build-call-shapes.test.ts`
-pins the same input and outcomes through a real request). No pin site was added or removed. The pass F-G1 (after F-F) builds the apps of the start-plugin-core,
-router-plugin and react-start-rsc harnesses with the plugins a real app configures ("How tests reach the
-compilers"); no count or pin changed. NOL-delete (2026-10-22, after F-H) deleted the branch's own implementation-lane
-files: tests of test helpers, of today's compiler internals and of non-compiler behaviour, and router-plugin's
-legacy harness (53 files); with main-tests and the Q6/Q7 legacy clean-up, nothing was left in the implementation
-lane, so its targets went too. Every acceptance tier and noncompiler lane kept its count.
-The pass F-I (after V-G1) made the #7213 rows of start-plugin-core `integration/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts`
-deterministic (caveats below): start-plugin-core `test:integration` +3 passed and +4 expected-fail rows (the Vite
-cells of the middleware caller where SSR code imports the server fn removed; a pin site added: the caller only client
-code imports, on both callers and bundlers, pinned on Vite; the D6 control split in two, its SSR-code half not run on
-Vite). A traced run of every start-plugin-core and react-start-rsc acceptance tier found no other row whose outcome
-depends on that race. The validation V-I (after F-I) added start-plugin-core `test:integration` +2 passed rows: a
-control, on both bundlers, of a server fn the app's server entry defines, called from SSR code (caveats below).
-Without it, a Vite compiler whose resolver drops every server fn the client build did not find passed every
-acceptance tier.
-The pass F-J (after V-I) made the tests hermetic: no test writes into the repository. The harnesses create their apps
-in the system's temporary directory, standing in for the package directory they were created in before (same
-dependencies through linked `node_modules`, same `tsconfig.json`; `src/app-directory.ts`), and router-generator runs
-its fixtures on copies (only the route tree of the `nested` fixture was still written in place, for the `types` project,
-until the Q2 ruling). No count, pin or outcome changed: on the baseline of that pass every tier and lane gave the same counts
-with and without it, test by test, apart from #34 rows that passed alone.
-
-Caveats:
-
-- **Chromium can run out of shared memory in the temporary directory (FINAL-PASS #40, open).** A full router-plugin
-  `test:integration` run at 4 workers holds up to about 2.2 GB of Chromium shared memory, in files in `TMPDIR`
-  (Playwright starts Chromium with `--disable-dev-shm-usage`). Chromium keeps 2 MB per module script that a 304
-  revalidates (Vite answers app modules that way, and the run pages share one HTTP cache) and 256 KB per WebSocket
-  (Vite's HMR client) after the page left the document, until a garbage collection, and the run pages run hundreds
-  of short documents. Where `TMPDIR` is a tmpfs with little room (2.7 GB free locally, shared with other test runs),
-  Chromium fails module requests: page runs fail with `net::ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES` or "Failed to fetch
-  dynamically imported module". That is not a compiler failure: re-run the file alone. Upstream draft and repro:
-  `validation/UPSTREAM/chromium-304-shm-until-gc.md`; a harness fix waits for the user (F-O).
-- **#42 (Vite's stale pre-bundled dependency)** is closed: not reproduced since 2026-10-22, no workaround (RULINGS
-  "Vite's stale pre-bundled dependency: closed"). Its signature is in KNOWN-BUGS; reopen it if seen.
-  - Not a flake of the tests, and no longer a row: at an extreme load (80 to 110 on beetle) V-G1 saw the Vite row
-    `known-bugs-start-compiler` "SSR: a server fn that only a middleware .server() of another module calls > is
-    callable, the app files written reversed" fail once in 15 runs with "Server function info not found". That was
-    today's compiler losing the #7213 race: when SSR code imports the middleware's module, the Vite SSR build
-    reaches it and the server fn resolver in parallel, and the resolver lists only the server fns found before it
-    loads (won by 1 to 9 ms in traced idle runs). No app input orders the two in that layout, so the pass F-I removed that Vite
-    cell (Rsbuild keeps it: it rebuilds the resolver after the compilation) and pins the caller deterministically:
-    rows where only client code imports the server fn, whose middleware the SSR build then reaches only through
-    the resolver. The same race decides any Vite build in which SSR code imports a server fn the client build did
-    not find. F-I traced the start-plugin-core and react-start-rsc acceptance tiers (`test:unit`,
-    `test:integration`) and found one more: the D6 control "SSR: a server fn the client references is callable over
-    HTTP, and a server-only one from SSR code" (won by 12 to 14 ms). Its SSR-code half is no longer run on Vite
-    (the D6 pin, red either way, still asserts it); react-start-rsc's builds find their server fns in an earlier
-    build step (the RSC plugin's scan builds), and dev servers resolve server fns by id, without a generated
-    resolver. An app does fix the order when its server entry defines the server fn: the SSR build compiles the
-    entry before any module it imports, the resolver included (V-I traced it with the entry's compile delayed by
-    1.5 s). The control "SSR: a server fn the server entry defines and only server code references is callable
-    from SSR code" asserts that call on both bundlers.
-- **The adversarial evidence is not independent of the tests.** Round 2's escapes are caught by rows written for
-  them, and the attackers of rounds 1 and 2 wrote against earlier versions of the suite. After a major change of the
-  compilers or of these tests, run a new round with test-aware attackers and re-check correct-but-different
-  compilers (see "Re-running the measurements").

-Each package has a fast tier (`test:unit`: in process, the inner loop) and a slow tier (`test:integration`, under
-`tests/integration/`: real builds, dev servers and browser pages; `integration-pages` holds page tests of the fast
-tier's kind that do not fit its budget).
-
-## How tests reach the compilers
-
-Only through public entry points: the plugins and options a user configures, run by the real tools. No test or
-helper imports a compiler internal, calls an internal class, or depends on module ids, queries, generated names,
-chunk layout, printed code or AST shapes.
-
-- **Hosts.** `compiler-test-utils/src/plugin-host.ts` hosts the public Vite plugins in a real Vite dev server
-  (server code through the environment's module runner, client code in the browser) and runs `vite build` with the
-  same plugins. `rsbuild-plugin-host.ts` does the same with Rsbuild's JavaScript API. Builds also run through
-  Rspack and webpack (`build-harness.ts`), and router-plugin's webpack entry also runs on `webpack-dev-server`
-  with a browser page (`tests/webpack-hmr-page.ts`).
-- **Apps are configured as an app's config file configures them.** Start apps get `tanstackStart()` of the built
-  framework package (`@tanstack/<framework>-start/plugin/vite` or `/plugin/rsbuild`; start-plugin-core
-  `tests/start-plugins.ts`), so the framework package's own options and configuration apply, and the framework's
-  own plugin (`@vitejs/plugin-react` or `@rsbuild/plugin-react` unless the test gives it, `vite-plugin-solid`,
-  `@vitejs/plugin-vue` with `@vitejs/plugin-vue-jsx`). A harness gives an app entries only through Start's
-  documented `client.entry`/`server.entry`, and only where the app has none of its own. router-plugin's Vite
-  builds add the framework's Vite plugin, its Rsbuild builds `@rsbuild/plugin-react`; plain webpack and Rspack
-  builds, which have no framework plugins, use the loaders an app configures (the bundler's TypeScript/JSX
-  transform for React, `babel-loader` with `babel-preset-solid` or Vue's `@vue/babel-plugin-jsx`). The packages' own hosts build on these: router-plugin's `route-app.ts`
-  (a route file loaded as an app loads it, registered by the plugin's own generator) and start-plugin-core's
-  `start-host.ts` (a Start app with a real router and a probe route). Hosts are shared within a test process and
-  leased to one test at a time.
-- **Server code** runs inside real requests through Start's server entry, with a real router. Nothing builds
-  Start's request context by hand. Middleware runs for a server function called over HTTP or from server code inside
-  a real request, or as the app's request middleware, route handlers for a request of their path. Only the client
-  middleware rows of ruling Q3 call a middleware's client options with a stand-in `next`, to read what the client kept. A server function is identified by its public `url` (the
-  server function base, then its id), never by Start's own metadata fields.
-- **What a dev server serves** to a client is read through Vite's own module graph of the environment (static and
-  lazy imports), never by parsing served code for imports.
-- **Client code runs in Chromium.** `browser.ts` runs scripts in bounded run pages (a fresh document per run) and
-  opens pages of the app for the page tests, with the real Vite client, the framework's refresh runtime, real ES
-  module linking and the real framework renderer. Nothing judges client semantics in Node (no jsdom, no fake
-  `window` or `import.meta.hot`).
-- **Edits** are written to disk like a user's, reported by the real watcher, and settle on their outcome within one
-  bound (`outcome.ts` `waitForOutcome`), never on counts of compiles or updates or on a quiet period. Whether a
-  page reloaded, or got an update in place, is told by the page once it handled everything the server sent, and
-  what that made it ask of the server (an accept callback's `invalidate()`) (`hmr-sync.ts` `settlePage`), not by a
-  time bound or by counting HMR messages.
-- **Laziness and provenance.** Which modules a compiler emitted is told by provenance (the plugin's own `load` and
-  `transform` hooks observed in that build), never by id, path or the helper that builds a lazy value.
-- **Dead code (G8)** is decided on a real production build: a dev module that reads a name it never declares fails
-  if the production build of the same app still reads it, or if that build fails the build harness's own
-  dangling-name check (it may spell the name otherwise). A module's free names come from Yuku's semantic model
-  (`free-names.ts`), minus the environment's globals and names the module checks with `typeof`. In a production
-  build the chunk's free reads are attributed to the modules that read them (`build-harness.ts` `nameCounts`):
-  each module decides for itself whether its read is guarded, so another module's `typeof` does not excuse an
-  unguarded read, and a module whose rendered code in a Vite build lost the name is no reader. A chunk Yuku cannot
-  parse fails the check. Routes compiled
-  with route HMR, and modules checked without their app (router-plugin `code-splitter-edits.test.ts`), have no
-  production build to decide: their free names count as they are, which is stricter than G8.
-- **Nothing dev-only in production (G7)**: router-plugin builds each production app twice, with the defaults and
-  with `addHmr: false` (`NODE_ENV=production`), and the chunks must be equal; the production page must render.
-  Start has no HMR-off build (J3.7): its dev-support check is a browser trap (`global-trap.ts`).
-
-## Diagnostics
-
-Every channel is read together (`diagnostic-channel.ts`): console, process streams, Vite's logger, Rsbuild's
-logger, and bundler compilations (warnings and errors), in dev and in builds. A diagnostic is checked only for the
-file it names (absolute or project-relative, §5.7) and the position (`line:column`, or the line) where required
-(`diagnostics.ts`; RULINGS "diagnostics: file and position only"): never its wording, the API or option it names,
-the cause it gives or its code frame. Severity is checked: where SPEC says "warn", a diagnostic must be at least a
-warning (an info or log line does not count), and where it says the build fails, it must fail (RULINGS "diagnostic

-`onViolation` callback, never parsed from the printed report (RULINGS "import-protection reports through
-`onViolation`"); that each one is printed, as a warning or an error naming its importer's file and position, is
-checked by `expectViolationsAt` (dev servers and builds) and `expectPrinted`, and the `log` rows count the printed
-warnings that name the importer, not `onViolation` calls.

-| Corpus      | `tests/**`, except the noncompiler list                                                                         | `test:unit`, `test:integration` | yes                |

-
-The corpus (acceptance) is the compilers' test suite. Main's own tests split in two:
-
-- **Tests of features that are not compilers** (start-plugin-core: Start manifest, sitemap, prerender, CSRF config,
-  schema, entry planning, post-build, output directory, watch-ignored, `createVirtualModule`, dev styles, utils, the
-  Rsbuild RSC rule cloning of #7482;
-  react-start-rsc: the RSC runtime components, streams, `createRscProxy` and the type tests) are untouched: main's
-  paths, main's content. The noncompiler lane runs them; the corpus projects leave them out.
-- **Tests of today's compiler internals** (internal functions called directly, exact output text or snapshots,
-  internal classes) are deleted: the corpus covers their behaviour through public entry points.
-
-There is no implementation lane (RULINGS "oracle tests only"): tests of test helpers, of today's compiler internals
-and the branch's own tests of non-compiler behaviour were deleted (NOL-delete, main-tests, 2026-10-22); the bugs
-only they pinned are recorded outside the repository, not in KNOWN-BUGS. CI runs both lanes. This package's own
-tests are controls of the shared harness.
-
-## Pins (`.fails`)
+- **J1** Route file upkeep (router-generator): keep `createFileRoute('/path')` in sync with the file; generate the
+  route tree.
+- **J2** Route code splitting (router-plugin): split options load lazily from their own chunks, with identical
+  behaviour.
+- **J3** Route HMR (router-plugin): an edited route updates in place in dev; nothing of it in production.
+- **J4** Start environment separation (start-plugin-core): server code never reaches the client.
+- **J5** Deferred hydration `<Hydrate>` (start-plugin-core): children move to a lazy client chunk; hydration ids agree.
+- **J6** Import protection (start-plugin-core): cross-environment imports are reported, mocked in dev, an error in
+  build.
+- **J7** RSC CSS injection (react-start-rsc): CSS of server components reaches the client.
 
-A test marked `.fails` (`test.fails`, `it.fails.each`, `bundler === 'vite' ? test : test.fails`, or the `{ fails: true }` option) is a pin: it
-asserts the correct outcome for a bug that today's compiler has, so it fails today. Its comment says `Bug:`,
-`Impact:` and `Source:`. Pins are fix-agnostic: any correct fix passes them, and where the spec allows a clear
-error instead of support, the pin accepts that error too. A pin's cause is in a compiler or its bundler integration
-(runtime bugs are not pinned).
+Clause ids: `G1`–`G15` are cross-cutting rules, `J<job>.<n>` job clauses, `§5.N` freedoms, `§8` how tests check,
+`§9` what is not tested.
 
-When a pin starts passing, Vitest reports "Expect test to fail". That means the bug is fixed: remove the `.fails`
-and keep the test as a regression test. A new compiler will flip many pins at once; that is expected and good.
-[KNOWN-BUGS.md](./KNOWN-BUGS.md) indexes them by job.
+## What is the oracle
 
-A few pins use names a user chose that collide with today's generated names; a compiler that generates other names
-flips them (RULINGS "restructured compilers"). The adaptive pins next to them read the names a compiler actually
-generates and are the structure-free checks.
+`test:unit` and `test:integration` of `@tanstack/compiler-test-utils` (the shared harness), `@tanstack/router-generator`,
+`@tanstack/router-plugin`, `@tanstack/start-plugin-core` and `@tanstack/react-start-rsc`.
 
-## User rulings on held tests
+Not the oracle: `test:noncompiler` (start-plugin-core, react-start-rsc). It runs main's own tests of features that are
+not compilers (manifest, sitemap, prerender, RSC runtime, …), listed in each package's `tests/noncompiler-tests.json`.
 
-No ruling is pending (2026-10-23; Q10, the owned-import cap in `router-generator/tests/owned-edits.ts`, is ruled:
-RULINGS "Q10"). These rows held tests until the user ruled:

-| Q4     | ruled 2026-10-23 (RULINGS "Q4"): a star re-export of a denied module is a safe mock, or the build fails (dev: warns); never a secret or crash                 |
-| Q6     | ruled 2026-10-22 (RULINGS "Q6"): the rows driving the internal compiler with a hand-built package graph are deleted; real-app tests cover what they meant     |
-| Q7     | ruled 2026-10-22 (RULINGS "Q7"): reachable; the CommonJS pin is now a real-app pin in `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-start-compiler.test.ts` |
-| #34    | ruled 2026-10-23 (RULINGS "Vite's dependency optimizer: close wait"): the Vite dev harnesses wait for the optimizer before `close()`                          |
+```sh
+CI=1 NX_DAEMON=false pnpm nx run @tanstack/router-plugin:test:unit --outputStyle=stream --skipRemoteCache
+CI=1 NX_DAEMON=false pnpm nx run @tanstack/router-plugin:test:unit --outputStyle=stream --skipRemoteCache -- tests/code-splitter-scope.test.ts -t "unlike computed keys"
+```
 
-Accepted for now, to revisit at the end (2026-10-23): start-plugin-core integration memory (#57). Its workers keep
-modules across files (about 4.4 GB each) to stay within the tier's time budget (RULINGS "test budgets").
+- Always go through Nx: it builds the dependencies first; Vitest alone can test a stale `dist`.
+- One Nx command at a time. Each run uses 4 workers (`--maxWorkers=<n>` after `--` overrides).
+- Never put `|` in a `-t` filter (Nx passes it through a shell).
+- Use `--skip-nx-cache` only when you measure time.
+- The time budgets (`../test-budgets.json`) hold only on a quiet machine. They are tight on 16 cores. Strict mode:
+  `COMPILER_TEST_BUDGETS=strict` (see [../AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md)).
 
-The legacy helpers (start-plugin-core `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/legacy/` with `tests/start-runtime.ts`,
-router-plugin's `tests/outside-compiler-corpus/legacy/`) and the Node stand-ins of this package (`module-linker`,
-`render`, `lazy-probe`) are deleted: nothing used them once Q6 and Q7 were ruled.
+## Reading results
 
-## Re-running the measurements
+- A failing test names a SPEC clause in its comment or title. That clause says what is required.
+- A `.fails` test is a pin: it asserts the correct outcome for a bug today's compiler has. KNOWN-BUGS lists them by
+  root cause. When your compiler fixes the bug, the pin fails with "Expect test to fail": remove the `.fails` and keep
+  the test. A new compiler flips many pins at once.
+- Pins whose input uses a name today's compiler generates flip when your compiler generates other names. That is
+  fine; the adaptive pins next to them are the real check.
 
-- **Restructure variants.** Each variant is a patch of the product source that keeps its behaviour (R1–R11). The
-  runner applies one, builds through Nx, runs every acceptance tier, re-runs each failing file alone with and
-  without the patch, and reports per test: `fail`, `fail-load`, `pin-flip`, with an attribution to the helper that
-  threw. Expected pin flips (a variant that fixes a pinned bug) are listed separately. The runner and the patches
-  are in the repair's working notes, not in the repository (`validation/REPAIR/variant-runner/`: its README, and the
-  patch set of the last measurement in `patches/`; notes on each restructure in `validation/COUPLING/variants/`):
-  `VRUN_VARIANTS=$PWD/patches bash local.sh <commit> <outdir> [R1 R2 ...]` runs them on one local tree
-  (`VRUN_EXTRA_LANES=1` also records the noncompiler lane, never counted; the implementation lane it used to
-  record is gone). Patches are diffs of
-  `packages/*/src`; a new compiler needs new restructures of its own.
-- **Adversarial compilers.** Reviewers wrote wrong compilers ("red", each with the clause it breaks) and correct
-  but different ones ("green") as product patches, and ran the corpus against each: every red must fail some
-  acceptance test for its stated reason, every green must pass. The same runner runs them (`V4-<set>-<NN>` rows of
-  its `variants.tsv`, `v4-table.mjs` for the verdict table). After a major compiler change, run another round:
-  an attacker who may read the tests writes wrong compilers that pass the corpus, and each escape gets a row.
-  Re-check correct-but-different variants too, so the new rows do not pin one implementation.
+## Free, and only a goal
 
-## Reading a clause id in a test
+What a correct compiler may do differently is in SPEC §5: generated names, module and chunk layout, ids, printing,
+diagnostic wording and channel, where helpers live, which dead code is left before the bundler.
 
-Test comments cite the spec like `SPEC J4.5`, `(G3, J2.4)` or `§5.7`:
+Optimisations are goals, not gates: the bytes left after the bundler, options importing shared pieces directly
+(instead of through forwarding modules), splitting route options in the SSR build too.
 
-- `G1`–`G15`: cross-cutting rules (SPEC §3).
-- `J<job>.<n>`: a clause of one job (SPEC §4), for example `J6.5` is import-protection report content.
-- `§5.N` (or "§5 item N"): a freedom a correct compiler may use (SPEC §5).
-- `§1.x`, `§2.x`, `§8`, `§9`: scope, supported inputs, checking rules and evidence still pending.
-- `OQ12`–`OQ17`: ruled product questions (SPEC §6).
-- `R1`–`R7` next to a SPEC clause: the cross-cutting rules the G rules refine (SPEC preamble). `R1`–`R11` next to
-  "variant" or "restructure": the restructure variants above.
-- `D1`–`D14`, `P1`, `P2`, `L3`, `R-09`, `R-14`, `K-19`, `PIN-A`, `D-04`: rulings ([RULINGS.md](./RULINGS.md)).
+## Rules
 
-Some test comments also cite `DECISIONS`, `FOLLOWUPS`, `FINAL-PASS #n` or review codes (`N4`, `S16`). These were
-the working notes of the review and the repair. Their binding content is in RULINGS.md and KNOWN-BUGS.md; the test
-itself states the outcome it asserts.
+- Do not weaken a test to make it pass.
+- A test that pins an incidental detail (message wording, an internal name such as `FileRouteTypes`, an exact
+  column) may be adjusted. Add a one-line note saying why.
+- If a test contradicts SPEC, fix the test or report it.
 
-## Running tests
+## Known environment issues
 
-Read [../AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md) first: one file or one test name through Nx in about 5 seconds, the load gate for
-the slow tier, the strict budget mode (`COMPILER_TEST_BUDGETS=strict` on a quiet machine). Always go through Nx:
-running Vitest directly can test a stale `dist` of a dependency.
+- Chromium keeps shared memory in files in `TMPDIR`. On a small `/tmp` tmpfs, page tests fail with
+  `net::ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES` or "Failed to fetch dynamically imported module". Not a compiler failure: give
+  `TMPDIR` more room, or re-run the file alone.
+- Budgets are tight on 16 cores, and any other load pushes slow tiers over them.
+- Other upstream issues and the harness changes they need: KNOWN-BUGS, "Upstream issues that affect the suite".

 # Router bundler plugin
 
 - Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object. Which bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
-- Every option configured for splitting must end up split. When a pattern the user can change prevents it, the option keeps working in the entry and the build warns once, naming the file and the option. When the limitation is ours, it is a bug to fix, not a warning.
-- `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules. Keep runtime dependencies inside the function or explicitly emit them; extracting a helper to plugin module scope breaks the generated function. `tests/handle-route-update.test.ts` executes that emitted code: it calls the emitted function with the route of an edited file and a live router.

 - Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
 - Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier, the inner loop) runs `tests/**` in process; a Vite dev server in middleware mode is allowed. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: every test that starts a real build (`build`, `buildAndRun`), an Rsbuild dev server or watch compiler, a child Node process or a browser page (`openRouteHmrPage`). Put such tests under `tests/integration/`; a file with tests of both kinds is split by test into files of the same name in both directories. Run both tiers before handing back.
 - Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: load the route with `loadRoute` from `tests/route-app.ts` (a real Vite dev server with the public plugins; the route runs in a real browser page), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.
 - Run behavioural tests for React, Solid and Vue through the `targetFramework` option of the test helpers.
-- Test what the page shows after a route file edit with `openRouteHmrPage` (`tests/route-hmr-page.ts`): a real dev server with the framework's plugin, a real browser page and the real HMR client.

Subject: [PATCH 0849/1425] test: drop references to working notes from
 compiler test comments

Rulings now cite SPEC clauses; pass, round and variant names and
documents outside the repository are gone. Comments only, plus internal
codes dropped from a few test titles.

Subject: [PATCH 0851/1425] test(react-start-rsc): pin a server fn reached only
 through a 'use client' component in the RSC build

In a production RSC build, a server fn whose only importer is a 'use client'
component rendered by a server component answers 500 when clicked: the
build never registers it. The new expected-fail test clicks the button and
expects the handler's result.

Subject: [PATCH 0852/1425] test(router-plugin): cover lowercase bindings
 shared by kept and split options under route HMR

With route HMR on, a lowercase binding that a split option and an option
kept in the route module both read:

- a destructuring read by the loader, the split component and the unsplit
  pendingComponent (the input of #8455) does not compile: pinned;
- a lowercase function component shared by the loader and the split
  component fails to load its chunk: pinned, with the arrow form as a
  passing control;
- a component created by a call and used as both the component and the
  pendingComponent is created once: passes.

Subject: [PATCH 0853/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin a Start library's
 CommonJS dependency in Vite dev

A library that Start discovers through its peer dependency on
@tanstack/react-start is left out of Vite's dev pre-bundling, so a named
import it makes from a CommonJS dependency fails in the browser and the
client route using it does not run. The new expected-fail test opens such
a route in a real page and clicks a button that calls the library.

Subject: [PATCH 0854/1425] test(router-plugin): require dev source maps to
 name the route file itself

In Vite dev, the maps of the split component's module and of the shared
module name the route file with the code splitter's query
(index.tsx?tsr-split=component, index.tsx?tsr-shared=1), so a debugger sees
another file than the route file. The Vite test now runs one row per throw:
each still maps to its line in the route file, and its module must name
the route file as its source. The loader row passes; the shared and split
rows are expected to fail.

Subject: [PATCH 0855/1425] test(start-plugin-core): accept a reported module
 for handlers that are env-only fn calls

A server fn whose handler is a createServerOnlyFn call, or a
createIsomorphicFn chain, may either work or be reported: a compile error
naming the file, or in dev a warning naming it. Both pins now accept either
outcome. They still fail: today the module compiles without a report and
the server fn does not run its handler.

Subject: [PATCH 0856/1425] test: a route's CSS loads only when the route
 matches

SPEC gets J2.22: the CSS a route module imports loads only when that route
matches, whatever it mounts (component, errorComponent, notFoundComponent,
pendingComponent, or no component).

New expected-fail test in start-plugin-core: a React Start app with one
route per case, each importing its own CSS, in a real page on Vite's dev
server and in a production build. At / the route's style must not apply;
after navigating to the route it must. Today the style already applies at
/, in dev and in the build.

The router-plugin test that expected a route's CSS import to load with
the route module no longer checks the CSS; it still checks that an import
whose specifiers all moved is not left behind as a side-effect import.

Subject: [PATCH 0857/1425] test(router-plugin): pin a shared lowercase const
 created twice under route HMR

With route HMR on, a plain const page = make() that the loader and the
split component read and that is also the pendingComponent is created
twice: the route module keeps the declaration React HMR renamed, and the
split component gets the shared one. The new expected-fail test expects
make() to run once and the page to render. The passing control next to
it (the same const as component and pendingComponent only) stays.

Subject: [PATCH 0858/1425] test(start-plugin-core): run the dev input shapes
 in production builds

The Start compiler resolves factories through build-only paths in a
production build. The dev rows for factories from other project modules,
export * chains, packages that re-export Start, a virtual module factory,
handler forms, builders called as factories and renamed or namespace
createServerFn imports now also run in a Vite and an Rsbuild build. Their
inputs move to a shared module, so both modes read the same rows.

Each build row checks that the client bundle has none of the row's
server-only code, that server fns are callable from the client and run on
the server in place and by id, and that the other exports behave per
environment. Three Rsbuild rows are pinned: an `export *` of the Start
package makes the build fail.

Subject: [PATCH 0859/1425] test(start-plugin-core): run the factory-module
 edits in an Rsbuild watch build

The two dev edits of a module a factory comes from (the end of a re-export
chain, and a renamed env-only factory) now also run under
`rsbuild build --watch`, where the first build has filled the build's
resolution caches. After the rebuild, the importers run the edited code.
Both pass. The edits move to the shared inputs module.

Subject: [PATCH 0860/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin env-function handlers
 (#8446) in production builds

A server fn whose handler is a createServerOnlyFn call or a
createIsomorphicFn chain now has a build row on Vite and Rsbuild: it must
work, or the build must fail with an error naming the file. Today the
build succeeds, and the SSR server entry throws while it loads. The two
rows build on their own, so the other call shapes keep sharing one build.

Subject: [PATCH 0861/1425] test(react-start-rsc): check renamed env-only fns
 in a server fn handler in an RSC build

With RSC on, the provider compiles server fn modules alongside the RSC CSS
transform. A server fn module that names only createServerFn calls
env-only fns re-exported under other names in a project module. In the
Vite RSC production build, the server-only fn runs and the client-only fn
throws, whether SSR or the browser calls the server fn, and the
server-only body is in no client file. This passes.

Subject: [PATCH 0862/1425] test(router-plugin): check the not-split warning:
 once, naming the route file

An exported route option that stays unsplit must be reported once, naming
the route file. The four "keep working" rows of exported options now check
this whenever the option is not lazy. A new row checks it with route HMR
on: an exported component that another route imports, after its split
modules are served, the route module is transformed again and the route
is served again. Both pass. Only the warning, its file and its count are
checked.

Subject: [PATCH 0863/1425] test(start-plugin-core): check the printed
 import-protection warning in mock builds

In mock-mode builds (Vite and Rsbuild, client and SSR) a violation was
checked only through onViolation. Each mocked row now also needs a printed
warning at the importer's line of the import or of its use, or at a marked
module's marker. The Rsbuild dev row of a server import of a .client file
checks the same. All pass. Only the warning, its file and its line are
checked.

Subject: [PATCH 0864/1425] test(router-plugin): production bundles of the
 route shapes route HMR compiles differently

Lowercase component names, a root route with shellComponent, a root route
with context and an undefined component had lost their production check.
They now build for production on Vite and Rspack with the plugin's default
addHmr, and each bundle must equal the build with route HMR off, chunk for
chunk. All pass. The route shapes move to production-bundle.ts, so the
dev rows with addHmr off and the production rows share them.

Subject: [PATCH 0865/1425] test(react-start-rsc): RSC CSS of a helper module
 in production builds, and an Rsbuild RSC build

The Vite RSC production build gets the helper-module row: a server fn calls
a module that renders a server component with its own CSS module, and the
page shows it styled. This passes.

The Rsbuild RSC CSS rows now also run in a production build, served by
`rsbuild preview` (a new small helper next to the Vite one). The rows in a
server fn module pass. The helper-module row fails as in dev and stays
pinned under the same cause.

Subject: [PATCH 0866/1425] test(start-plugin-core): mock a denied import that
 carries an import attribute

A denied JSON package imported with `with { type: 'json' }` is a new
mock-shapes case: in Vite dev and in mock-mode Vite and Rsbuild builds,
the importer gets a safe mock and none of the package's data. This
passes on all three.

Subject: [PATCH 0867/1425] test(react-start-rsc): run the Rsbuild RSC CSS
 build rows in a file of their own

The Rsbuild RSC CSS rows ran for dev and for the production build in one
file, which took about 14 s against the 15 s per-file limit. The rows now
live in rsc-css-rsbuild-app.ts. rsc-css-rsbuild.test.ts runs them on the
dev server, and the new rsc-css-rsbuild-build.test.ts runs them in the
production build, so the two run in parallel. The rows are unchanged.

 as an ordinary test with COMPILER_TESTS_PINS=run

A setup file shared by the compiler test projects clears each pin's
`.fails` before it runs, and the shared reporter lists the pins that
passed. The two tables in router-plugin that leave out or loosen cells by
today's behaviour require every cell when the switch is on. Without the
switch nothing changes.

Subject: [PATCH 0870/1425] test(start-plugin-core): check handler leaks by a
 marker instead of printed code

Seven checks asserted that the client output does not contain a piece of
handler code such as `db.inner()`, which depends on how the compiler
prints. The handlers now hold a `MARK_` string as a fallback they never
return, and the checks look for that string.

Subject: [PATCH 0871/1425] test(start-plugin-core): build Solid Start apps in
 the environment separation tests

The server fn and isomorphic fn rows of start-build-env-separation now run
for a Solid app too, on Vite and Rsbuild builds. Until now Solid's J4 was
only checked on the Vite dev server.

Subject: [PATCH 0872/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Solid Hydrate children
 follow the props of their component

A boundary inside a component whose children read that component's
reactive props (props.count) must keep reading them live after its code
is split. Runs on Vite and Rsbuild, with split={false} as the reference.

Subject: [PATCH 0873/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin a Solid ref to a let
 inside split Hydrate children

With `let input` in the component and `<input ref={input} />` inside a
<Hydrate>, the component's `let` must get the element, as it does with
split={false}. Today the chunk gets `input` as a prop and assigns its own
copy, so the component's `input` stays undefined. Pinned on Vite and
Rsbuild, listed in KNOWN-BUGS.

Subject: [PATCH 0874/1425] test: Solid use: directives in code the compilers
 move

A directive such as `<span use:tip>` names `tip` only in a JSX attribute;
Solid's JSX transform turns it into a call of `tip` wherever the JSX ends
up. A split Solid route component keeps working (router-plugin, passes).
Split Hydrate children throw "tip is not defined" for a directive declared
in the module or in the component: pinned on Vite and Rsbuild and listed
in KNOWN-BUGS.

Subject: [PATCH 0875/1425] test(start-plugin-core): a Hydrate written in a
 split Solid route component

The index route component of a Solid Start app holds a <Hydrate> itself,
so the route's split chunk is split again for the children. On the Vite
and Rsbuild dev servers the page hydrates, a click loads the boundary's
code, and the child counts, with no errors.

Subject: [PATCH 0876/1425] test(router-plugin): edit the root route of a Solid
 app in dev

A client-rendered Solid app's __root.tsx edit hot-updates in place on
Vite, with and without automatic code splitting. On Rsbuild the page keeps
the old root component, like an unsplit Solid route there: pinned next to
that pin and listed under its cause in KNOWN-BUGS.

Subject: [PATCH 0878/1425] docs(compiler-test-utils): how to run the whole
 oracle and the pins

The README gives one command for the whole oracle and its time, says the
budgets only report unless COMPILER_TEST_BUDGETS=strict, describes the
COMPILER_TESTS_PINS=run switch and the three tables of today's behaviour it
covers, and no longer counts the harness's own tests as part of the
oracle.

Subject: [PATCH 0879/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): run server code on
 Vite's module runner as is

Drop the strict-runner adapter (makeRunnerStrict) and its contract test.
With it switched off, every test of the oracle (router-generator,
router-plugin, start-plugin-core, react-start-rsc test:unit and
test:integration) kept its state, pins included.

Subject: [PATCH 0880/1425] bench(compiler-perf): dev startup, HMR and build
 harness for the compiler

Generates deterministic large Start and Router apps, measures dev startup
(listen, first hydrated page, compile-everything), HMR save-to-DOM per edit
kind, and production builds (Vite, Rsbuild), with CPU-profile and plugin-hook
attribution and a compare command.

+# Compiler performance harness
+
+Measures, on large generated apps, how the TanStack compiler (route generator,
+code splitting, HMR injection, Start server-function and environment
+transforms, `<Hydrate>` handling, import protection) affects what users wait for:
+
+1. **Dev startup**: process start → server listening → first page hydrated in
+   Chromium, plus a "compile everything" variant that isolates transform
+   throughput.
+2. **HMR**: file save → updated DOM, per kind of edit.
+3. **Production build**: wall-clock of `vite build` (client + SSR) and
+   `rsbuild build`.
+
+and attributes main-thread time to our plugins (CPU profiles plus per-plugin
+hook timing).
+
+## Workloads
+
+`scripts/generate.mjs` writes deterministic (seeded) apps into `apps/` (git-ignored):
+
+| variant        | contents                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 |

+| `react-router` | the same route tree as a client-only Router app with `autoCodeSplitting`, no Start features                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
+
+Every result records a hash of the generated sources (`workloads.<variant>.hash`);
+`compare.mjs` warns when baseline and candidate inputs differ. Apps resolve
+dependencies through this package, which links the built workspace packages.
+
+## Running
+
+From the repository root of any checkout that contains this directory:
+
+```sh
+CI=1 pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+# Builds @tanstack/react-start, router-plugin, react-router through Nx, then runs everything.
+node benchmarks/compiler-perf/scripts/run.mjs --label <name> --out <dir>
+```
+
+Results: `<dir>/results.json` (all samples + stats), `<dir>/summary.md`,
+`<dir>/run.log`, and `<dir>/profiles/` (CPU profiles + hook timings).
+Without `--out`, results go to `benchmarks/compiler-perf/results/<label>/`.
+
+Useful options (`--help` lists all):
+
+- `--variants react-start,react-router`
+- `--scenarios build,dev-compile,dev-cold,dev-warm,hmr,rsbuild,profile`
+- `--runs 5 --warmup 1` (startup/build), `--hmr-iterations 20 --hmr-warmup 3`
+- `--skip-package-builds` when the packages are already built
+- `--max-busy 4`: before every run (and every HMR edit) the harness samples
+  `/proc/stat` and waits while other processes keep more than 4 cores busy
+  (up to `--quiet-timeout` seconds; runs that time out are recorded with
+  `flagged: true`). Each run records `busyCores` and the 1-minute load.
+
+Compare two runs:
+
+```sh
+node benchmarks/compiler-perf/scripts/compare.mjs <baseline>/results.json <candidate>/results.json --md compare.md
+```
+
+### Running against a checkout without this directory
+
+Copy the directory into the other checkout, add its lockfile importer, build and
+run (nothing else in the lockfile changes, all dependencies are already
+resolved there):
+
+```sh
+rsync -a --exclude apps --exclude results --exclude node_modules \
+  benchmarks/compiler-perf/ <other-checkout>/benchmarks/compiler-perf/
+cd <other-checkout>
+CI=1 pnpm install --frozen-lockfile || pnpm install --no-frozen-lockfile
+node benchmarks/compiler-perf/scripts/run.mjs --label <name> --out <dir>
+```
+
+Use the same Node version for baseline and candidate (`compare.mjs` warns otherwise).
+
+## Scenarios and metrics
+
+All times are milliseconds, wall-clock unless stated.
+
+| scenario                | metrics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |

+
+HMR kinds (`react-router` has the first three):
+
+- `route-component`: text in a route component (`src/routes/s00/g0/i0.tsx`)
+- `route-loader`: value returned by a route loader and rendered (`i1.tsx`)
+- `shared-component`: a non-route component used by a route (`src/components/ProbeWidget.tsx`)
+- `server-fn`: the return value of a server function handler (`src/server/probe.ts`); measured as save → the first call from the page that returns the new value (the page calls it in a loop)
+- `hydrate`: text inside a `<Hydrate when={visible()}>` boundary (`i4.tsx`), after the boundary has hydrated
+
+Dev servers run through `scripts/dev-driver.mjs` (`vite.createServer` + `listen`,
+with Node's compile cache enabled like the Vite CLI). The Node compile cache and
+the OS file cache stay warm between runs; "cold" means no Vite dependency cache
+and no build output.
+
+### Attribution
+
+- **CPU profile** (`attribution.<run>.cpu.main`): `compilerInclusiveMs` is the
+  main-thread time of samples with a TanStack compiler frame on the stack
+  (`router-plugin`, `router-generator`, `router-utils`, `start-plugin-core`,
+  `*-start/dist/esm/plugin`, `react-start-rsc`, `virtual-file-routes`, any
+  `packages/*compiler*` or `yuku` package); this includes the Babel/Prettier
+  work they call. `compilerShareOfBusy` divides it by the non-idle main-thread
+  time. `byCategory` is self time by owner (babel, vite, rolldown JS glue,
+  gc, ...). Native frames inherit their caller's owner. Extend the compiler
+  package list with `COMPILER_PERF_COMPILER_RE=<regex>`.
+- **Hook timing** (`attribution.<run>.hooks`, Vite only): every JS plugin hook
+  is wrapped (`scripts/hook-timing.mjs`, inert unless
+  `COMPILER_PERF_HOOKS_OUT` is set). `syncMs` is main-thread time until the
+  hook returned, so it misses work after an `await`; `settledMs` overlaps
+  between concurrent modules and is not additive. Rolldown builtin plugins are
+  native in builds and are not wrapped.
+
+Profiled runs are slower than unprofiled ones; use them for shares, not for
+absolute times.

+// Deterministic generator for the compiler performance workloads.

+// Writes a large file-based app (React) into `apps/<variant>/`. The output only
+// depends on the variant name and SEED, so baseline and candidate checkouts get
+// byte-identical inputs. `workloadHash()` hashes the generated sources so the
+// results can prove that.
+//
+// Variants:
+// - react-start:  TanStack Start (Vite + Rsbuild configs) with ~340 routes,
+//                 ~105 server functions, middleware, isomorphic/server-only/
+//                 client-only fns, ClientOnly, <Hydrate> boundaries, server
+//                 routes and `*.server.ts` modules.
+// - react-router: the same route tree as a plain Router SPA with
+//                 autoCodeSplitting, without any Start feature.

+Use the same Node binary for baseline and candidate (`compare.mjs` warns

+Each generated app links `vite` and `@rsbuild/core` (`apps/<variant>/node_modules/`)

Subject: [PATCH 0882/1425] bench(compiler-perf): flag runs by other processes'
 CPU use during the run

A pre-run sample missed contention that slowed one series by ~10%. Each run
now records the cores other processes used while it ran (system busy time
minus the harness's process tree) and is flagged above --max-busy.

Subject: [PATCH 0883/1425] feat(router-core,react-router): dev-only route HMR
 helper and lazy wrapper hot slot

applyRouteHmr updates the live route of window.__TSR_ROUTER__ from a new
evaluation of a route module, keeping lazy wrappers and asking each
framework adapter whether a held component is kept. React's __tsrRouteHmr
registers plugin-react's ignored exports, probes the Vite and webpack/Rspack
refresh runtimes, compares $$tsrRefreshId markers and kicks enqueueUpdate
after a keep. lazyRouteComponent gains a client-only __tsrHot slot whose
newest import is the only completion that counts.

Subject: [PATCH 0884/1425] feat(solid-router): dev-only route HMR adapter and
 lazy wrapper hot slot

lazyRouteComponent keeps a client-only signal read by its Dynamic, so a hot
swap renders in place without recreating the wrapper. MatchInner re-keys in
dev when route HMR replaced the live route's component. Split components are
kept only when the re-imported export is the same object; unsplit
solid-refresh proxies of the same binding are kept for solid-refresh to
patch.

Subject: [PATCH 0885/1425] feat(vue-router): dev-only route HMR adapter and
 lazy wrapper hot slot

lazyRouteComponent keeps one client-only shallowRef per wrapper, shared by
all of its instances, so a hot swap re-renders every instance with the new
component. A held component is kept only when the loaded export has the same
plugin-vue-jsx __hmrId; function components are always swapped.

Subject: [PATCH 0886/1425] feat(router-generator): rebuild the generator on a
 Yuku analyser and a pure tree model

- route files are read by a Yuku-based analyser: the Route export through
  the export table, its constructor by binding (aliases, namespace imports;
  the app's own constructors are left alone), option keys with an unknown
  flag, edits as offset splices, imports inserted after pragmas
- the tree is a pure model rebuilt every generation from the scan and
  per-file facts; ids, full paths and `to` use router-core's formulas, and
  the runtime tree and its types are printed from it
- a direct printer emits quoteStyle/semicolons; Prettier is only loaded
  when enableRouteTreeFormatting is true (now false by default)
- one drain loop handles queued events; content-based change detection,
  the tree compared with the disk, an unchanged-facts fast path
- atomic writes with an EXDEV fallback beside the destination; a bad
  bracket escape throws instead of exiting the process
- deterministic scans, `.lazy.vue` as a component piece, pieces of
  directory routes, unique route variables, escaped literals

 # Route generator
 
-- Preserve the existing `safeFileWrite` path: temporary-file rename, modification-time conflict retry, and post-rename stat. Keep unchanged-write suppression and main/shadow cache rotation; these protect concurrent edits, avoid watcher loops, and discard deleted routes.
+- Layout: `filesystem/` scans the routing conventions (ported path logic; `utils.ts` holds its helpers), `analyze/route-file.ts` is the only parser user (Yuku: the Route export, its constructor by binding, recorded option keys, offset splices), `scaffold/` writes new route files, `model/` builds the tree model (a pure function of the scan and the per-file facts; nothing of a model outlives a generation), `print/` prints the runtime tree and its types from that model, `publish/` replaces files atomically, `generator.ts` is the session (event queue, one drain loop, per-file facts by content), `watch/` the chokidar watcher of bundlers whose own watcher only sees the bundle.
+- Keep writes atomic (temporary file, rename; beside the destination on EXDEV), route file edits guarded by a content recheck before the rename, and change detection content-based: the generator's own writes come back as events and must be no-ops.
+- Prettier is only loaded (lazily) when `enableRouteTreeFormatting` is `true`; the printer emits `quoteStyle`/`semicolons` itself.
 - Run the complete `test:unit` and `test:integration` targets after generator changes. The fixtures run in copies (no test writes into this package); `test:integration` type-checks the route trees generated there (`tests/integration/fixture-types-*.test.ts`); `test:types` excludes the generator fixtures.
 - Add generation cases under `tests/generator/<case>/`. Read [`tests/generator.test.ts`](tests/generator.test.ts) for per-case configuration and preprocessing. Change route inputs/configuration or templates; the test harness generates the route trees (no expected snapshots: the tests read the generated tree through a real router, the type checker and the text the documented output options control).
 - `preprocess()` recreates selected route files for `file-modification*` and `custom-scaffolding`. Edit their templates/configuration/preprocessing when changing those inputs; edits to recreated files are overwritten.

Subject: [PATCH 0889/1425] fix(solid-router,vue-router): keep route HMR dev
 branches out of production output

Solid's JSX compiler wraps a ternary prop in a memo, which kept the dev
branch in production bundles; Vue's render function gained a local. Branch
before the JSX and move Vue's hot swap into a client-only watcher, so
production client bundles are byte-identical again.

Subject: [PATCH 0890/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): serve the pruned client
 route tree on Vite and Rsbuild

The client route tree (without server-only routes) is printed from the
generator's tree model and served for the exact route tree module: by
Vite's load hook (an escaped, anchored id filter instead of an unescaped
RegExp of the path) and by an Rsbuild transform of the client
environment, which had no pruning. Routes whose recorded options may hold
an unread key are never pruned.

Subject: [PATCH 0891/1425] feat(router-plugin): one generator-owned watcher on
 Rspack and webpack

Rspack and webpack watch the route roots (routes directory, physical()
mounts, the virtual route config and the route tree) with the generator's
own watcher for every event, instead of watching created files only. Vite
keeps its watcher and also watches the route roots outside its root. The
CLI uses the same watcher.

+Add a development-only route HMR runtime for the router plugin's output: `__tsrRouteHmr` updates the live route in place, keeps the lazy route component wrapper of each component option across updates, re-imports its chunk on every update and decides when the import completes whether the framework's refresh runtime keeps the held component or the wrapper swaps to the new one. None of it reaches production bundles.

Subject: [PATCH 0896/1425] perf(router-generator): skip unchanged files by
 stamp and cheaper literals

On a rescan, files whose modification time and size did not change are
not read again; the route tree is not read back when it is as published;
string literals without characters to escape are built directly.

+
+Rebuild the route generator without Babel. Route files are read with Yuku and kept up by binding, not by name: an aliased `createFileRoute` import gets its id fixed, and a `createFileRoute` the app declares or imports from its own module is left alone. The route tree is rebuilt from the files on every change (deleting a layout keeps its child routes, a deleted `routeTree.gen.ts` is written again, edits of the virtual route config and of `__virtual.ts` files are picked up), and its types follow the router's own ids and full paths.
+
+**`routeTree.gen.ts` formatting changes once.** The generator now prints the route tree directly in your `quoteStyle` and `semicolons`, and `enableRouteTreeFormatting` defaults to `false`: Prettier is no longer loaded unless you set it to `true`. A committed `routeTree.gen.ts` will show a one-time formatting diff after upgrading; set `enableRouteTreeFormatting: true` to keep Prettier formatting. Custom scaffolding templates are inserted as written (no longer reformatted).
+
+Also: `.lazy.vue` files are the route's lazily loaded component, a piece next to a directory route (`route.component.vue`) belongs to that route, empty `.ts` route files get a scaffold without JSX, `importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths` applies to lazy imports, `tmpDir` on another filesystem falls back to an atomic rename beside the file, a childless pathless layout no longer conflicts with the index route, and unusual file names (quotes, names that differ only by case or punctuation) give valid trees. On Rspack and webpack the generator watches every route root itself; Rsbuild Start apps now prune server-only routes from the client route tree like Vite.
+
+`GeneratorPlugin.onRouteTreeChanged` now receives the tree model (`{ model }`), and the internal tree helpers (`format`, `inferFullPath`, `checkRouteFullPathUniqueness`, `writeIfDifferent`) are no longer exported.

Subject: [PATCH 0898/1425] test(router-plugin): run the Rsbuild generator
 scenarios the pins skipped

The Rsbuild dev server now sees route files created under physical()
mounts and created before they parse: their scenario rows run like Vite's.

Subject: [PATCH 0899/1425] build(router-utils): add yuku, a vitest setup and
 the compiler subpath export

Pins yuku 0.23.0 exactly (D14), adds vitest and @jridgewell/trace-mapping as
dev dependencies for the core tests, declares the ./compiler entry and lets
the package build both entries.

Subject: [PATCH 0901/1425] feat(router-utils): compiler core on Yuku
 (identity, analysis, rewrite tree, placement, caches, pipeline)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The shared core of the compiler rewrite (DESIGN §1.2/§2), alongside the
Babel helpers other packages still use:

- identity: canonical ids with foreign queries, deriveId over owned keys,
  sibling glue specifiers, revisions/digests
- Tier 0/Tier 1 analysis over one Yuku parse: import/export tables and
  evaluation edges, header/pragmas, purity and own effects, items, units,
  regions, one symbol id space, classified references
- rewrite tree: edits with nested retained slices, structured text with
  SymRefs, spec fragments, context-aware ref rewrites, claims with anchors,
  auto/fixed homes, ancestor erasure, substitution environments, per-output
  conflict checks, statement-level recipes
- placement: clusters from live writes, single-writer rule, provenance-based
  orphans, R29/R31 movable effects, ordered evaluation, needers/homes for
  {R, G_i, H_j} with lazy shared modules, glue imports/exports
- AnalysisPlan.freeze() -> plain EmitPlan, recipe renderer on the own
  OutputBuilder (ECMAScript lines, word/punctuator segments, map:false)
- summaries with the export-facts digest, abstract values with the callable
  builder transition, batch-memoised export resolver, RawFacts
- PlanCache with validated hits, DependencyLedger with in-flight
  registration and snapshot validation, invalidate(), compileModule phases
  A-D with the restart loop and the planner contract

R29/R31 N3), name allocation, and the DESIGN §6.1 core gates (a) direct,
(b) derived-first, (c) async denied edge, (d) overlapping save, (e)
consumer invalidation, (f) in-flight dependency edit, (g) foreign-query
identity, (k) ancestor erasure, (l) retained heap over the package corpus,
(m) map positions with a raw U+2028 and a lone-CR file. Planners are toys
living in the test helpers.

Subject: [PATCH 0905/1425] feat(router-utils): J6 edge names by value use,
 target facts for edge modules, policy input text

- edge names: specifiers used as values (incl. export { x }), namespace member reads ('*' when opaque), in both tiers
- TargetFacts: evaluated imports, star re-exports, module format (digest covers them)
- PolicyContext: input text and lazily read input map (original positions)
- substituted specifiers go through the shared string-literal escaper

Subject: [PATCH 0907/1425] fix(router-utils): writes make a region need the
 binding; generated reads unpin imports

A region that assigns or updates a module binding (`x = 1`, `++x`) needs
the binding in its output: placement counted reads only, so the env module
rooted a binding only a split group or Hydrate chunk writes, and the
single-writer rule then refused the split. Symbols generated text reads
(a Solid `use:x` directive, which the semantic model does not see) no
longer pin a zero-value-ref import to a non-route env module, so a
child-only import moves into the chunk (R9).

Subject: [PATCH 0908/1425] fix(router-utils): copies follow their direct
 readers only

A copyable cluster (an import specifier, a primitive const) was copied into
every output that reached it, also through a cluster that output imports
from its home: a Hydrate chunk importing `Route` from the route module
copied `createFileRoute` and `Hydrate` imports it never reads (dead code,
and an import edge J6 would judge). A copy now goes where it is rooted and
follows the outputs whose included clusters read it.

Subject: [PATCH 0909/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): the <Hydrate> planner on
 the compiler core (J5)

Recognises boundaries by the Hydrate binding of a Start package (named,
renamed or a namespace member), gives each one the id of its pristine
offset and path hash and inserts it as the `h` prefix in every env (R10),
strips a statically visible fallback on the server (with the locals only it
read), and on the client claims the children for a fixed-home chunk unit of
`?tss-hydrate=<id>` with captures computed innermost first (R39): React
destructures them (key/ref/children renamed), Solid reads them through a
substitution environment (callee, shorthand, nested placeholders, ref
setters, use: directives). A /* @__PURE__ */ lazy const placed by needers
loads the chunk. Rejections (J5.5) are positioned at the boundary.

+ * A boundary is a JSX element whose tag is the `Hydrate` import of a Start

+ * every output of one build agree whatever other planners erase (R10).
+ *
+ * - Every env inserts ` h="<id>"` into the opening tag of each boundary the
+ *   client extracts (anything but a literal `split={false}` with children to
+ *   extract), so the server's and the client's hydration ids match.
+ * - Server envs strip a statically visible `fallback` (an erased region:
+ *   the core removes what only the fallback read).
+ * - The client env claims the children for a fixed-home generated unit, the
+ *   chunk component of `<file>?tss-hydrate=<id>`; the original occurrence
+ *   renders `<TsrHydrate<n> a={a}/>` and a `/* @__PURE__ *\/` lazy const,

Subject: [PATCH 0910/1425] feat(router-utils): target facts separate module
 loading from a module's own code effects

The J6 effect classification follows evaluated imports itself (R36), so it needs
the effects of a module's own statements without its imports and re-exports.

Subject: [PATCH 0911/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): import-protection planner
 and policy on the compiler core

The import-edges planner (phase C policy over every output's surviving edges),
the resolved config and rules, per-edge mock/allowed edge modules and the
mockAccess runtime, original positions through input maps, traces over the
bundler graph, the dev report queue, build verdicts with the fixed-point veto,
the Vite/Rolldown and Rspack survival witness readers, and the session facade
hosts call. Host-agnostic; not wired into the Start hosts yet.

Subject: [PATCH 0912/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Hydrate prefixes after the
 last attribute, nested boundaries validated alone

The prefix (and p) attributes go right after the last attribute instead of
after the whitespace before `/>`; an enclosing boundary skips every nested
boundary the client extracts when it validates, also one that failed its
own validation; lazy consts and prefixes are emitted in source order.

Through compileModule and an in-memory host, client and server, React and
Solid: recognition by binding and look-alikes, ids and prefix symmetry,
chunk shapes (fragments, text, expression and children-prop children),
captures (shadowing, tags, enums, this/arguments, key/ref/children),
nested boundaries forwarding captures through substitution, Solid
callee/shorthand/ref setter/use: directives, module-level placement,
rejections, fallback stripping with its orphans, ancestor erasure with a
toy env planner, composition with a toy route splitter, source maps.

Subject: [PATCH 0915/1425] test(start-plugin-core): import-protection survival
 witness and veto fixed point on real Vite and Rsbuild builds
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The J6 spike's case matrix (C1–C9, S1–S2) through minimal hosts that follow the
integration contract: reported iff the edge survives tree-shaking, onViolation
once per surviving edge, a veto gives the real module after one more pass.

Subject: [PATCH 0917/1425] fix(router-utils): compiler core follow-ups for the
 router planners

- Copyable clusters (import specifiers, primitive consts) homed 'duplicate'
  are placed only where an included cluster reads them, not in every output
  that reaches them through a cluster homed elsewhere (a chunk importing
  Route no longer copies the loader's imports, J2.5).
- renameRefs records the rename: glue imports/exports and SymRef rendering
  print the new name; only the renamed symbol's own declaration name of a
  destructuring is rewritten, as 'key: NewName' for shorthand patterns; an
  overloaded exported function gets one export specifier.
- End-anchored generated text starts on its own line when the source does
  not end with a line terminator.
- License comments between items belong to no item: they stay in the env
  module when the item below them moves or is removed (G12).

Subject: [PATCH 0918/1425] feat(router-plugin): route splitting and route HMR
 on the Yuku compiler core

Replaces the Babel code splitter, the stringified HMR handlers and the
unplugin transform wiring with planners on @tanstack/router-utils/compiler
and native hosts:

- planners/route.ts recognises the route by the factory's import binding
  (aliases, type arguments, namespace members, TS wrappers) bound to the
  binding exported as Route, resolves options inline or from a module-level
  constant, reads codeSplitGroupings from a literal or a constant.
- planners/split.ts (route-split): one derived output per group, chunk units
  declaring the exports from claimed option values (init, method, shorthand,
  object-form loader handlers), lazyRouteComponent/lazyFn placeholders with
  one importer per group, deleteNodes as env-only erasures, not-split
  fallbacks with one warning per file and reason, route CSS moved into the
  component chunks when every component option is split (R42), React
  refresh markers in dev chunks.
- planners/hmr.ts (route-hmr): hoists/renames unsplit React component
  options into registrable bindings before the options, then appends the
  dev block with the literal import.meta.hot.accept( (or webpackHot),
  __tsrRouteHmr(routeId, Route, meta) and the refresh anchor on Vite.
- hosts/vite.ts: native plugin with hook filters, derived ids compiled in
  transform, owned-query resolveId, watchChange invalidation, warnings
  through this.warn once per file per run, mode from the bundler command.
- hosts/webpack.ts + loader/index.cjs: our own loader for Rspack and webpack
  (input maps composed with @jridgewell/remapping, absolute map sources,
  this.sourceMap switch), route-file rule, sideEffects:false rule for
  extracted-export ids, watchRun invalidation.
- esbuild: autoCodeSplitting refuses with an error; the generator works.
- @tanstack/router-plugin/planners exports the planners for Start's host.
- codeSplittingOptions.compilerPlugins is removed; @babel/* dependencies
  dropped (Babel core stays a test devDependency).

+/**
+ * `route-hmr` planner (J3; DESIGN §3.15.1, impl-notes-runtime §1).
+ *
+ * `prepare` (React only, before `route-split`): every component option that
+ * stays in the route module becomes a registrable binding — inline values
+ * are hoisted into `const Tsr<Key> = …` before the statement holding the
+ * options (a claim, so the original body is relocated, not reprinted),
+ * lowercase module-level components are renamed module-wide. `plan`
+ * (after `route-split`) appends the dev block: the literal
+ * `import.meta.hot.accept(` (Vite) / `import.meta.webpackHot.accept()`, the
+ * `__tsrRouteHmr(routeId, Route, meta)` call that runs on every evaluation,
+ * and, for React on Vite, the refresh anchor export. Production output
+ * never sees this planner (the host registers it for dev client envs only).

Subject: [PATCH 0919/1425] test(router-plugin): the Yuku splitter fixes the
 fast-tier pins

Pins now passing (.fails removed): imported route options split or
reported (2), JSX tags starting with _, $ or a non-ASCII letter (3),
pragma leadingness and the classic factory in the route module (3), exported
class / aliased / overloaded components (3), a user binding named Map (1),
route HMR generated code (10: options in a variable, a binding named hot,
lowercase function components, destructured and call-created bindings, an
export list).

Subject: [PATCH 0920/1425] feat(router-utils): symbolic value terms,
 known-specifier summaries and planner withdrawal in the compiler core

Calls and members of unresolved imports stay symbolic terms a consumer
reduces once it knows the imports (applyMember/applyCall exported,
stampSites for adopted link sites). Known package specifiers of the
recognizer table never resolve: RawFactsCache answers synthetic summaries
and resolveCached returns the specifier (D4). A planner's prefetch may
return false to withdraw while its recorded dependencies keep the plan
cached, PrefetchContext gains resolveFrom, walk and the Yuku node types
are re-exported, and an import whose value specifiers were all orphaned
drops its type-only specifiers.

Subject: [PATCH 0921/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): Start env separation and
 RSC CSS planners on the compiler core

The recognizer table by specifier, phase A value prefetch through
summaries (re-exports, namespaces, aliases, user factories, stored and
callable builders, cycles), candidate chains climbed from Start-valued
bindings, the start-env planner (client stubs with createClientRpc, SSR
stubs, in-place provider handlers with a generated createServerRpc
export, validator and middleware link stripping, isomorphic and env-only
rewrites, ClientOnly children on server envs, nested server fns hoisted
or refused at the capture, orphaned local declarators and destructuring
elements), the rsc-css planner, server-fn ids (short default id, dev id,
custom-id placeholders and the global occupied-id allocator), the
registry and the resolver module generators.

Subject: [PATCH 0922/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): Start Vite host on the
 compiler core

One pre plugin per Start env compiling every id through compileModule,
invalidation through the core's one operation on hotUpdate/watchChange,
a shared server-fn registry, dev lookup by id through a per-id virtual
module (compiling the defining module on a fresh server), the production
resolver from the client registry (HTTP-callable set, R44), custom-id
patching at renderChunk, library discovery from the Vite root. RSC
integrations pass rsc: { loadCssExpression, providerDirective }; the
Babel-typed compilerTransforms/StartCompilerPlugin options and
react-start-rsc's rscCssTransform export are removed (the Rsbuild host
keeps the previous compiler internally for now). The router splitter
and the Babel Hydrate transform keep running on this plugin's output in
the interim.

Subject: [PATCH 0923/1425] feat(router-utils): re-resolve failed resolutions
 on file add/unlink (R47) and a host language override for non-JS ids (R48)

R47: a failed resolution has no path for the dependents index, so a plan
that could not resolve a specifier was never invalidated when the target
appeared (J6.13 delete/recreate). The ledger now indexes unresolved
resolution fingerprints under a reserved bucket of each env's dependents
index (same publish/discard/eviction lifecycle), and `invalidate()` re-resolves
that bucket on `add`/`unlink` events and returns plans whose resolution changed.

R48: `CompileInput.lang` gives the language of code the bundler hands us for
an id that is not JS/TS (`.vue`, `.mdx`, custom types); such ids run Tier 0
planners only (the late J6-only pass).

Subject: [PATCH 0924/1425] fix(start-plugin-core, router-utils): J4 unit tier
 green on the compiler core; flip 130 pins

Core: concurrent export resolutions keep separate active stacks (a two-star
barrel is no cycle), inline type-only imports with no live value specifier
leave with their type re-exports, header pragmas may follow the directive
prologue, export default expressions are summarised. Planner: identity
helpers (wrap(x)) are climbed through, nested server fns are refused at the
capture in every env, unsupported computed members are left to the runtime
and reported where they may leak, import-alias cycles settle, orphaned
destructuring elements and server-only local declarators are pruned, assert
import attributes become with. Remove .fails from the 130 known-bug pins
the new compiler passes (COMPILER_TESTS_PINS=run confirmed).

+Start's environment separation (server functions, middleware, isomorphic and env-only functions, `<ClientOnly>`) and the RSC CSS injection now run on the Yuku-based compiler core on Vite. Server functions are recognised by binding through re-exports, namespaces, aliases, user factories and stored builders; with SSR as the provider the handler stays in its module (one instance), only server functions the client references are HTTP-callable in production builds, default production ids are shorter, and nested server functions are hoisted on the server when safe. Compiler diagnostics report positions with every ECMAScript line terminator.
+
+Breaking for integrations: the experimental Babel-typed `compilerTransforms`, `serverFnProviderModuleDirectives`, `StartCompilerPlugin`, `StartCompilerImportTransform`, `StartCompilerTransformContext` and `StartCompilerTransformCandidate` options and types, and `@tanstack/react-start-rsc/plugin/rscCssTransform`, are removed. RSC integrations pass `rsc: { loadCssExpression, providerDirective }` instead.

Subject: [PATCH 0925/1425] fix(router-utils): renames skip ranges other
 planners own; orphaned clusters a chunk needs stay

- renameRefs(sym, to, scope, by, except?) leaves references inside the given
  ranges to their owner (the splitter replaces identifier option values with
  its own edit and reads the symbol from the chunk).
- A cluster orphaned by an env erasure is removed only when no derived output
  needs it; a chunk whose roots reach it gets it by the home table.

Subject: [PATCH 0926/1425] fix(router-plugin): lowercase and identifier split
 options, recognition warnings, warning ledger

- Lowercase local components are renamed whether split or not, so React
  Refresh registers them in the chunk; identifier option values are replaced
  by an env-only edit and read as a symbol from the chunk (no claim: the HMR
  rename's ref edit would override the placeholder).
- Casts and parentheses around hoisted and chunk component values are dropped
  so Refresh registers a bare function; the chunk refresh marker names the
  registered binding, so a rename is a new family.
- Routes not created by a factory call bound to the Route export (helpers,
  IIFEs) and second factory calls are reported once naming the file, from
  the split planner or, with autoCodeSplitting off, from the HMR planner.
- Warnings are once per (file, reason, wording) per run and are not repeated
  by an edit that leaves the finding as it is.

Subject: [PATCH 0927/1425] test(router-plugin): the Yuku splitter fixes the
 production-build and route HMR pins

Pins now passing (.fails removed): esbuild refusal (2), rspack and webpack
production builds without splitting (6), route HMR in real pages: inline
component shapes, lowercase and renamed components, removed split options,
routes exported under another name, Solid and Vue split identity, .ts route
modules, apps without plugin-react, Rsbuild without React Refresh (33).
Adds the changeset for the router-plugin rewrite.

+Route code splitting and route HMR now run on the Yuku compiler core instead of Babel.
+
+- Any route option value is split: identifiers, inline functions, casts, `satisfies`, calls such as `memo(Page)`, method shorthands, object-form loaders (their `handler`), and options held in a module-level constant. Options the route module still reads stay declared there and the chunks import them (one instance everywhere); top-level writes stay with the binding they write; pure code read by several chunks loads lazily from a shared module.
+- `createFileRoute` & co. are recognised by their import binding (aliases, type arguments, `createRootRouteWithContext<Ctx>()`); routes whose options cannot be read statically are reported once per file instead of being silently left alone.
+- Root routes split their `errorComponent` and `notFoundComponent`; the root `component` stays eager.
+- `deleteNodes` removes every property form (methods, string keys, options in casts) and what only they imported.
+- Route CSS (`import './route.css'`) loads with the route's split component chunks when every component option of the route is split.
+- Route HMR emits a literal `import.meta.hot.accept(` (Vite) or `import.meta.webpackHot.accept()` and calls the framework's `__tsrRouteHmr` helper; split components keep their lazy wrapper identity across updates in React, Solid and Vue; inline, lowercase, `memo(...)`, `forwardRef(...)` and method-shorthand components are registered for React Refresh; `.ts` route modules and apps without `@vitejs/plugin-react` hot-update.
+- Production output is decided by the bundler's mode, never by `process.env.NODE_ENV` of the plugin process, and is byte-identical to an `addHmr: false` build.
+- Rspack and webpack use the plugin's own loader: source maps compose with earlier loaders and name the route file; derived module ids resolve relative to the route file (paths with `#`, `'` or spaces work).
+- esbuild refuses `autoCodeSplitting` with a clear error; the generator keeps working there.
+- Removed: `codeSplittingOptions.compilerPlugins` (the Babel plugin hook) and the `@babel/*` dependencies of `@tanstack/router-plugin`. New entry `@tanstack/router-plugin/planners` exposes the route planners for TanStack Start's compiler host.

Subject: [PATCH 0928/1425] feat(router-utils): extracted-export outputs and
 route-module placement rules

- PlanContext.extract(sym, output): an exported, pure, unwritten declaration
  a planner allows out moves to a side-effect-free derived output when only
  derived outputs need it and none of its eager reads is env-live; the env
  module re-exports it under every public name; export companions
  (specifiers, export default x) fold into that glue; chunks' reach stops at
  extracted clusters.
- A declaration orphaned by an identifier replacement is still evaluated
  for moving with the chunk that needs it; a pure unexported declaration
  nobody needs is dropped when it would keep a chunk dependency eager.
- Inline type specifiers of a route module are dropped from the env output
  (verbatimModuleSyntax would keep the bare import); ambient value
  declarations are copied into derived outputs so TS transforms resolve them
  the same way (Oxc inlines declare enum members).
- vars hoisted from nested blocks belong to the statement that holds them;
  import assertions print as attributes; a React binding counts as the
  implicit JSX factory when no pragma decides the runtime; Solid use:
  directives read their function.

Subject: [PATCH 0929/1425] feat(router-plugin): exported page code loads with
 its chunk; deleteNodes of adjacent properties

- Every exported pure, unwritten declaration of a route module may leave for
  an extracted-export output (one instance for importers, lazy when nothing
  imports it); the 'exported' not-split warning is gone.
- Consecutive deleted properties form one erasure (their comma ranges
  overlapped and failed the compile under Start's deleteNodes).

Subject: [PATCH 0930/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): interim import-protection
 graph with the compiler host; maps always; dev glue newline

- Import protection relied on the previous compiler's side effects: its
  resolves of a module's imports recorded graph edges before the transform,
  and its hotUpdate re-transformed every Vite importer of a changed module.
  The host does neither (recognition-time resolves are marked and ignored,
  dependents only). `ImportGraph.invalidate` now keeps a changed module's
  incoming edges (its importers are not transformed again) and unreachable
  pending violations stay pending until an importer records the edge (the
  bundled-dev rule, for every dev mode). Flips the pinned "added by an edit"
  / warm-up / served-while-transforming rows.
- The compiler always emits a map in build mode: downstream positions go
  through the combined map whatever `build.sourcemap` says.
- The dev self-accept glue starts with a newline (sources without a trailing
  newline).
- The `invalidate()` resolves carry the compiler-resolve marker too.
- Lint fixes; smoke tests follow the export-named wrapper.

Subject: [PATCH 0931/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): defer dependents' hard
 invalidation on unlink; flip 60 integration pins
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- `unlink` events no longer hard-invalidate the dependents of the deleted
  file at once: Vite propagates the deleted module's update to its importers
  and a dependent transformed while the file is missing fails in
  `vite:import-analysis`, which marks it not self-accepting, so its later
  updates go through its importers (a route module whose split component is
  never re-imported). They re-transform when a file appears (`add`), with
  the R47 dependents of that event.
- Full integration tier green on the compiler host (1392 passed, 0 real
  failures); the pins that now pass are plain tests: import-protection dev
  rows (edit, warm-up, served-while-transforming, error-mode lookups, alias
  report after Start), Start dev-server rows (factory edits through
  re-exports, fresh-server lookups, pre-bundled top-level calls), Vite build
  rows (call shapes, env separation, user code, export cache, determinism,
  compose route module once, library server fns, class and type-only
  imports, Vue SFC type assertions, RSC warnings). Rsbuild rows keep their
  pins (previous compiler).
- Changeset and lane notes (16–19).

-Start's environment separation (server functions, middleware, isomorphic and env-only functions, `<ClientOnly>`) and the RSC CSS injection now run on the Yuku-based compiler core on Vite. Server functions are recognised by binding through re-exports, namespaces, aliases, user factories and stored builders; with SSR as the provider the handler stays in its module (one instance), only server functions the client references are HTTP-callable in production builds, default production ids are shorter, and nested server functions are hoisted on the server when safe. Compiler diagnostics report positions with every ECMAScript line terminator.
+Start's environment separation (server functions, middleware, isomorphic and env-only functions, `<ClientOnly>`) and the RSC CSS injection now run on the Yuku-based compiler core on Vite. Server functions are recognised by binding through re-exports, namespaces, aliases, user factories and stored builders; with SSR as the provider the handler stays in its module (one instance), only server functions the client references are HTTP-callable in production builds, default production ids are shorter, and nested server functions are hoisted on the server when safe. Compiler diagnostics report positions with every ECMAScript line terminator. In Vite dev, import protection now logs a denied import added by an edit of an existing module, and the violations of a module served before its importer finished transforming (or warmed up before it) once an importer reaches it.
 
 Breaking for integrations: the experimental Babel-typed `compilerTransforms`, `serverFnProviderModuleDirectives`, `StartCompilerPlugin`, `StartCompilerImportTransform`, `StartCompilerTransformContext` and `StartCompilerTransformCandidate` options and types, and `@tanstack/react-start-rsc/plugin/rscCssTransform`, are removed. RSC integrations pass `rsc: { loadCssExpression, providerDirective }` instead.

Subject: [PATCH 0932/1425] fix(start-plugin-core, react-start-rsc): RSC
 provider manifest without the origin check; flip 9 RSC CSS pins

The RSC provider environment builds before the client (plugin-rsc's
buildApp), so its production manifest cannot know which server functions
the client references: the origin check is emitted only for the SSR
provider, whose client builds first (R44). Rsbuild rows keep their pins.

Subject: [PATCH 0933/1425] test(start-plugin-core): the introduced-names probe
 ignores Vite's SSR wrapper identifiers

The in-place provider's dev self-accept glue uses import.meta.hot, which
Vite's SSR transform turns into __vite_ssr_import_meta__: Vite's name,
present in any module using import.meta whatever compiles it.

Subject: [PATCH 0935/1425] fix(router-utils): own augmentations move with
 their declaration; env-declared fallback; type-only export specifiers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- A cluster of pure declarations and the top-level augmentations of its own
  bindings (`function Page(){}` + `Page.displayName = …`) is a declaration
  cluster the R29 loop decides (movable with its chunk, else an effect root);
  an effectful initialiser among the augmentations (A7) stays an effect root.
  `isMovable` (b) rejects external mutation only, as DESIGN §3.4.2 and
  DECISIONS R29 word it.
- R7 is position-aware for relocated reads: a claimed option value read after
  every mutation of a cluster is no ordered-effect fallback.
- `RootRef { t: 'sym' }`: a derived output rooted in a module binding; when the
  binding stays in the env module by its effects (a call result, a
  destructuring) or with an exported binding it writes, the placement reports
  `env-declared` at its declaration (J2.8 R-27).
- `export { X }` of a binding without a runtime value is a type unit, dropped
  with the inline type specifier it names in route modules.
- A derived output never opens with a pragma comment the source wrote after
  its first statement: `export {}` keeps it non-leading (J2.16, Oxc).

From 3e44d52603cdff154cd381e0ed437aa972aa8d84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Sheraff <me@florianpellet.com>

Subject: [PATCH 0936/1425] feat(router-plugin): not-split by placement,
 deleteNodes refusal, object loaders by reference, symlinked routes,
 eager-export warning
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Identifier option values are symbol roots of their chunk; the core's
  `env-declared` and `shared-writer` fallbacks (reported at the declaration
  of the binding) keep the option in place with a `not-split` warning.
- With `deleteNodes`, opaque, spread or computed route options are an error
  naming the file (never shipped silently; J2.8/J2.14). Errors bypass the
  once-per-file warning ledger.
- `loader: handlers` naming a module const `{ handler }` splits like the
  inline object form (the chunk exports the handler).
- The session resolves a registry miss through the real paths of the
  registry's files (symlinked route files, DESIGN §3.5.1).
- The Vite and Rspack/webpack hosts warn once per (route file, export) when an
  extracted-export output lands in an initial chunk (an entry module imports
  it through the route file): the page code is eager whatever the splitter did.

Subject: [PATCH 0937/1425] test(router-plugin): the Yuku splitter fixes the
 remaining integration pins

Removes `.fails` from every integration pin the splitter now passes
(property writes, destructured call results, symlinked route files, object
loaders by reference, type-only re-exports, pragma leadingness, source maps,
app paths, exported bindings, server-only options through spreads and calls).
Still pinned: the Rsbuild split-loader HMR edit; an exported component another
route's chunk imports, on rspack/webpack/rsbuild without a `sideEffects`
field; the type-alias state row, which depends on this file's order.

Adjusted: the exported-let SSR row's entry re-exports `count` (the script read
it from the entry, which never exported it); partially passing tables are
split into a passing and a pinned table.

Subject: [PATCH 0938/1425] fix(router-plugin): chunks export identifier option
 values directly

`export { Page as component }` instead of `const TsrSplitComponent = Page`
and an aliased export: the alias cost 8 raw bytes per split route in every
production bundle against main (Rolldown keeps `var r=n`). The chunk's own
declaration remains for inline values, methods and `handlers.handler`.

Subject: [PATCH 0939/1425] test(router-plugin): keep the page-code test names;
 pin the order-sensitive state row

The exported-import row keeps its `$name` form (pinned on rspack, webpack and
rsbuild without a `sideEffects` field), the two-options row its template
name, so the oracle comparison sees no renames. The "type alias that reads
it" state row passes alone and in pins mode but fails in some whole-file
orders (two instances of `state.ts` in the page): kept as a pin with the
diagnosis next to it.

Subject: [PATCH 0943/1425] fix(router-plugin): leave derived ids of other
 compilers alone

The router host answered every core-derived id of a non-route file with
`export {}` (J2.13), including Start's `?tss-hydrate=` chunks, which
Start's compile produces in its own pass before the router's transform:
the Hydrate chunk was emptied (start-compiler-jsx-pragma "a Hydrate chunk
keeps the file-level @jsxImportSource pragma"). The router now only
transforms plain ids and its own `?tsr-split=` outputs.

Subject: [PATCH 0944/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Hydrate and env planners on
 Lane R's core

- Hydrate: the core now reads a Solid `use:x` directive as a value ref
  (router lane, R39 by the core), so the planner's own module-binding
  directive rewrite is gone; a captured local a directive names stays a
  local (`const x = props.x`, no substitution into the attribute name,
  which rendered `use:props.x`).
- Env: a `var` hoisted out of a nested block is now declared by the
  effect unit holding it; the orphan cleanup still removes its declarator
  when the planner erased every reference (J4.12), as before.
- Hydrate test: a component only the chunk reads moves with its own
  property writes (R29 (b), now implemented as designed by the router
  lane) instead of being imported from the parent.

`tanStackRouterCodeSplitter` and `TanStackRouterCodeSplitter{Rspack,Webpack}`
split whatever `autoCodeSplitting` says, as the Babel splitter plugin did
(`autoCodeSplitting` selects the splitter in the composed plugin; Start's
schema omits it and wires the splitter alone): Start's client builds kept
every route component eager.

Subject: [PATCH 0946/1425] fix(router-plugin): deleteNodes refuses only
 options that may hide a deleted key

A route factory called without options (`createRootRoute()`) has nothing
to remove: it failed every Start client build as "not an object literal".
A spread of a module object literal of static keys nothing else reads, or a
computed key naming a module string const, provably holds none of
`deleteNodes`: no error (start-plugin-core server-only-routes builds).
Other spreads and computed keys still refuse the build.

Subject: [PATCH 0947/1425] test(start-plugin-core): the Yuku router splitter
 fixes 12 integration pins

- imported route options never ship server handlers silently (refused; Vite, Rsbuild)
- boundaries in split route options another option reads (Vite, Rsbuild)
- route CSS loads with the chunk of a split component (3 rows x dev/build;
  the pending/no-component rows stay pinned)
- Rsbuild client source maps of split route components (2 rows)

Subject: [PATCH 0948/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild runs on the
 compiler core with its own loaders

One compile per (environment, layer, module) through a pre loader per Start
environment: start-env, hydrate, rsc-css (RSC layer), route-split/route-hmr
(client) and import-edges planners; buildInfo persistence and finishMake
replay of server-fn facts and import-protection records; witness verdicts
with needAdditionalPass; generator as a precondition of every compiler;
client route tree pruning; virtual modules under the resolved root. The
Babel Start compiler and the old Rsbuild import protection are removed.

-# Rsbuild Import Protection - Adapter Internals
-
-## Scope
-
-This document covers the Rsbuild-specific orchestration around the shared
-import-protection core in `src/import-protection/INTERNALS.md`.
-
-Rsbuild owns:
-
-- post-transform enforcement through a Rspack post-loader
-- virtual-module transport through `VirtualModulesPlugin`
-- compilation-truth reporting in `processAssets`
-- final graph reconstruction from Rspack compilation data
-
-Shared transform-time AST analysis, rewrite logic, source extraction, usage
-lookup, source locations, trace formatting, and mock code generation are
-described in the shared internals doc.
-
-## Mental Model
-
-Vite is primarily `resolveId`-driven. Rsbuild is primarily `transform` +
-`processAssets`-driven.
-
-That difference explains most of the adapter divergence.
-
-Rsbuild does not emulate the Vite pending-queue state machine. It relies more
-directly on post-transform code and final compilation truth.
-
-## Native Hook Shape
-
-Import protection is attached through Rsbuild hooks, not a dedicated mini-plugin
-object:
-
-1. `onBeforeBuild`
-2. `onBeforeDevCompile`
-3. `modifyRspackConfig`
-4. `processAssets(..., { stage: 'report' })`
-
-`modifyRspackConfig` installs both the virtual-modules plugin and the
-environment-scoped import-protection post-loader.
-
-## State Model
-
-Per environment, Rsbuild keeps a smaller runtime state than Vite:
-
-- `resolveCache`
-- `seenViolations`
-
-Shared adapter state contains:
-
-- `virtualModules`
-- `vmPlugins`
-- `readyVmPlugins`
-- `pendingWrites`
-
-Notably absent compared to Vite:
-
-- no `pendingViolations`
-- no `postTransformImports`
-- no broad `deferredBuildViolations`
-- no resolve-time dev reachability pipeline
-
-## Transform Phase
-
-Rsbuild enforcement runs after the Start compiler in a Rspack loader with
-`enforce: 'post'`. The complete transform pipeline lives in
-`import-protection-loader.ts`; mutable configuration and per-environment state
-are passed through loader options.
-
-That matters because many compiler-safe imports are already stripped by the time
-import protection runs. This naturally suppresses a large class of false
-positives without a Vite-style pending verification pass.
-
-The transform phase is responsible for:
-
-- self-denial for forbidden files
-- self-denial for marker-protected files in the wrong environment
-- persisting detected marker metadata in Rspack `module.buildInfo`
-- direct specifier rewrites to mock-edge modules
-
-The transform treats the code it receives as authoritative. It does not read,
-parse, or analyze original source. Imports removed by the Start compiler are no
-longer part of this phase; imports with unsafe client/server usage remain in the
-transformed code and are checked normally.
-
-## Virtual Module Transport
-
-Rsbuild reuses the shared mock generators, but not the Vite id transport.
-
-Instead it writes environment-scoped virtual files under:
-
-```text
-<root>/node_modules/.virtual/import-protection/<env>/
-```
-
-The important forms are:
-
-- `mock-silent.mjs`
-- `mock-runtime-<base64>.mjs`
-- `mock-edge-<base64>.mjs`
-
-Writes may happen before the `VirtualModulesPlugin` instance is ready, so the
-adapter queues them and flushes during compilation setup.
-
-## Reporting Phase
-
-`processAssets({ stage: 'report' })` is the authoritative reporting step.
-
-It reconstructs the final view of the compilation from Rspack data by:
-
-1. snapshotting each module and its outgoing connections
-2. collecting specifier and file violations plus possible marker modules
-3. deduplicating marker modules and validating their persisted metadata
-4. returning early when no violations remain
-5. building the `ImportGraph` and diagnostic indexes only when needed
-
-Each `RspackModuleGraphNode` stores a module and its imported modules. Missing and
-errored target modules are skipped.
-Connections are not filtered by `getActiveState()` because inactive connections
-can still carry diagnostic evidence. Duplicate connections to the same target
-module collapse to one.
-
-Snapshotting does not apply source-file eligibility. Intermediate modules remain
-available for entry-to-violation traces, while the scanner applies importer and
-rule checks. Normalized resource ids are used for rules, traces, and diagnostics;
-`resourceResolveData.path` is preferred for original-source lookup.
-
-When violations exist, the adapter replays the snapshot to build `ImportGraph`;
-it does not query outgoing connections again. A clean compilation avoids entry
-traversal, graph indexes, and module-source loading.
-
-Diagnostic enrichment is lazy. The transform-result provider reads
-`module.originalSource().sourceAndMap()` when available. It gets original code
-from sourcemap `sourcesContent`, then falls back to
-`compilation.inputFileSystem.readFile()`. Results and in-flight reads are cached
-per module.
-
-Importer locations use this order:
-
-1. find unsafe usage in original code
-2. find unsafe usage in compiled code
-3. find the import statement in compiled, then original code
-
-Trace edges search compiled import statements. The adapter does not use
-`dependency.loc`, which may identify a transformed declaration rather than the
-actual import usage.
-
-This is the core Rsbuild-native replacement for Vite's `generateBundle`
-verification plus dev pending-violation flow.
-
-## Source And Compilation APIs
-
-The Rsbuild adapter intentionally prefers native Rspack APIs where possible.
-
-Transform-time:
-
-- `loaderContext.resource`
-- `loaderContext.resourcePath`
-- `loaderContext.context`
-- `loaderContext.resolve(...)`
-- `loaderContext._module.buildInfo`
-
-`_module` is a deprecated Rspack loader-context API. It is used deliberately
-because a loader invocation is bound to one exact module instance, including
-its layer. Keying modules by resource would collapse distinct modules that use
-the same resource in different layers. Do not add a resource-map fallback.
-
-Compilation-time:
-
-- `module.resourceResolveData?.resource`
-- `module.resourceResolveData?.path`
-- `module.identifier()` (normalized fallback)
-- `module.buildInfo`
-- `module.originalSource().sourceAndMap()` (confirmed diagnostics only)
-- sourcemap `sourcesContent`
-- `compilation.inputFileSystem.readFile()` (original-source fallback)
-- `moduleGraph.getOutgoingConnectionsInOrder(module)`
-- `connection.dependency.request`
-
-## Marker Handling
-
-Unlike Vite, Rsbuild does not introduce plugin-owned virtual marker modules for
-normal operation.
-
-The real package marker files are source-level markers. The post-loader writes
-`{ kind, source }` directly to its current `_module.buildInfo` before replacing
-a wrong-environment module. The metadata therefore stays attached to the exact
-resource-and-layer module and survives self-denial mocking and persistent-cache
-restores.
-
-`processAssets` treats non-excluded, non-file-denied imports as possible marker
-modules, then checks their `buildInfo`. It does not infer marker kind from final
-dependency requests.
-
-## Practical Maintainer Rule
-
-When changing Rsbuild import protection, ask:
-
-1. Can the change be expressed in shared analysis/rewrite/mock codegen instead?
-2. If it is adapter-specific, is it really about post-transform enforcement,
-   virtual-file transport, or compilation-time reporting?
-3. Can final compilation truth answer the question more simply than adding a new
-   pending state machine?

Subject: [PATCH 0949/1425] feat(router-plugin): share the route registry view
 and registry change events with Start

The Start Vite host runs the router planners inside its own compile, so it
needs what the standalone host had privately: a registry view by real path
(RouteRegistryView, now exported from /planners with routeEntryDigest) and
the registry change listeners (onRoutesChanged, changedRoutePaths, exported
from /context).

-# Vite Import Protection - Adapter Internals
-
-## Scope
-
-This document covers the Vite-specific orchestration around the shared
-import-protection core in `src/import-protection/INTERNALS.md`.
-
-Vite owns:
-
-- `resolveId`-first violation discovery.
-- Dev and build deferral decisions tied to Vite lifecycle hooks.
-- Per-environment state that bridges resolve-time data with transform-time data.
-- The transform-cache plugin and post-transform graph bookkeeping.
-- Selective diagnostic sourcemap capture while transformed code is in plugin scope.
-- Vite virtual-module id resolution and loading.
-- Bundle-time survival checks in `generateBundle`.
-- Opt-in perf counters and timings for this adapter.
-
-Shared AST analysis, rewrite logic, source extraction, mock export discovery,
-usage lookup, source locations, and mock code generation live under
-`src/import-protection`.
-
-## Plugin Shape
-
-`importProtectionPlugin()` returns two Vite plugins:
-
-1. `tanstack-start-core:import-protection`
-2. `tanstack-start-core:import-protection-transform-cache`
-
-The first plugin owns resolve-time detection, virtual-module resolution,
-reporting decisions, build survival checks, dev-server capture, HMR invalidation,
-and perf flushing.
-
-The second plugin owns transformed-result caching, selective diagnostic sourcemap
-capture, self-denial transforms, post-transform import graph updates, dev
-pending-violation verification, and dev import rewrites.
-
-Both plugins use `applyToEnvironment()` and only run for Start environments:
-
-- `client`
-- `ssr`
-- the optional provider environment when it differs from `ssr`
-
-The adapter resolves client/server semantics from `config.envTypeMap`; Vite's
-server environment is named `ssr`, but import protection reports it as the
-`server` boundary.
-
-## Hook Filters
-
-The Vite adapter uses hook filters to reduce avoidable JS hook calls:
-
-- `resolveId.filter.id.exclude` skips most `\0` and `virtual:` ids, while still
-  allowing import-protection virtual ids through.
-- `load.filter.id` only handles resolved import-protection virtual-module ids.
-- `transform.filter.id.include` limits transform-cache work to JS/TS module ids
-  matching `/\.[cm]?[tj]sx?($|\?)/`.
-
-The runtime checks still keep defensive early returns for internal virtual ids
-and out-of-scope importers.
-
-## Why Vite Uses Two Plugins
-
-Vite discovers many violations in `resolveId`, but accurate source locations and
-post-transform graph truth require code that only exists later.
-
-The adapter splits responsibilities:
-
-- `resolveId` detects, classifies, defers or reports, records graph edges, and
-  substitutes mock ids where needed.
-- The later transform hook caches plugin-input code, selectively captures
-  diagnostic sourcemaps, self-denies files, computes post-transform imports, and
-  processes pending violations.
-
-The transform-cache plugin runs after `enforce: 'pre'` hooks, including the Start
-compiler. This means it sees the code as it enters this plugin after upstream
-transforms, not the file read from disk.
-
-## State Model
-
-Per environment, Vite keeps `EnvState` with:
-
-- `graph`: an `ImportGraph` of source and post-transform edges.
-- `mockExportsByImporter`: parsed export names for denied specifier mock modules.
-- `resolveCache`: successful `this.resolve()` results keyed by importer/source.
-- `resolveCacheByFile`: reverse index for invalidating resolve-cache keys.
-- `importLocCache`: cached import-statement locations.
-- `seenViolations`: dedupe state and retroactive-marker guard keys.
-- `serverFnLookupModules`: modules known to be pre-transform lookup variants.
-- `transformResultCache`: transformed code plus optional diagnostic sourcemap.
-- `transformResultKeysByFile`: all cached ids for a physical file, including split variants.
-- `transformResultProvider`: lookup facade used by diagnostic helpers.
-- `postTransformImports`: resolved imports found after the Start compiler ran.
-- `pendingViolations`: dev mock violations awaiting edge/reachability verification.
-- `deferredBuildViolations`: build violations awaiting tree-shaking survival checks.
-
-Cross-environment shared state is intentionally small:
-
-- `fileMarkerKind`: normalized file path to `server` or `client` marker kind.
-
-This state model is larger than the Rsbuild adapter because Vite must bridge
-resolve-time detection with later transform and bundle verification.
-
-## Lifecycle Hooks
-
-`configResolved` initializes adapter config from Vite and Start config:
-
-- root, command, bundled dev mode, and source directory.
-- behavior, log mode, mock access mode, max trace depth, and `onViolation`.
-- default and user import-protection rules compiled into matchers.
-- marker specifiers for server-only and client-only modules.
-- include, exclude, and ignored-importer matchers.
-
-`configureServer` stores the dev server so traces can fall back to Vite's
-per-environment module graph on warm starts.
-
-`buildStart` clears bounded and unbounded caches, clears shared marker state,
-and registers known Start entries for every configured environment.
-
-`hotUpdate` invalidates every file-scoped cache for changed modules:
-
-- extensionless absolute-id resolution.
-- shared marker state for the file.
-- import-location cache entries.
-- resolve cache entries indexed by that file.
-- import graph edges where the file is importer or resolved target.
-- mock export cache for the file.
-- server-fn lookup state for the file.
-- pending violations for the file.
-- transform-result cache entries and post-transform imports for all variants.
-
-`closeBundle` flushes cumulative opt-in perf output when perf collection is
-enabled.
-
-## Detection Flow
-
-The Vite adapter is `resolveId`-driven.
-
-That means it may see violations before:
-
-- the Start compiler removes safe-boundary imports.
-- tree-shaking removes false-positive edges.
-- transformed importer code is available.
-
-For `resolveId` calls with no importer, the adapter records entry roots and then
-flushes pending violations because reachability may now have new roots. In
-bundled client dev, source entries inside `srcDirectory` are not added as entry
-roots because that would make every source module appear reachable.
-
-For imported modules, `resolveId` does this in order:
-
-- Resolve import-protection virtual ids via `resolveInternalVirtualModuleId()`.
-- Ignore unrelated `\0` and `virtual:` sources.
-- Normalize the importer and classify direct `SERVER_FN_LOOKUP` resolves.
-- In bundled client dev, add route modules under `src/routes` as source roots.
-- Treat direct lookup modules, transitive lookup modules, and Vite scan resolves
-  as pre-transform resolves.
-- Avoid recording source graph edges for server-fn lookup modules because those
-  variants contain uncompiled code.
-- Detect marker imports before importer-scope checks so marker files can set
-  shared `fileMarkerKind`.
-- Skip importers outside import-protection scope after marker handling.
-- Check denied specifiers before resolving the import.
-- Resolve imports through `this.resolve()` when needed, cache successful results,
-  and canonicalize resolved ids.
-- Add graph edges for authoritative resolves when the importer is not a
-  server-fn lookup module.
-- Check resolved file-denial rules and resolved marker-file conflicts.
-- Dispatch violations through `reportOrDeferViolation()`.
-
-`this.resolve()` calls are counted and timed when perf collection is enabled.
-Only successful resolves are cached; `null` results are not cached because they
-can be order-dependent across importer variants such as split route ids.
-
-## Marker Handling
-
-Marker imports are imports of framework marker modules such as
-`@tanstack/react-start/server-only` and `@tanstack/react-start/client-only`.
-
-When `resolveId` sees a marker import, it:
-
-- Records the normalized importer file in `shared.fileMarkerKind`.
-- Throws immediately if a file has both server-only and client-only markers.
-- Builds a marker violation if the current environment is the opposite boundary.
-- Returns a marker virtual module for normal marker imports.
-- In build mode, returns a unique build mock id for a deferred marker violation
-  so `generateBundle` can check whether the importer survived.
-
-Marker conflicts can also be discovered after resolving a normal import. If the
-resolved target file was previously marked for the opposite environment,
-`buildMarkerViolationFromResolvedImport()` creates the marker violation.
-
-Cold-start ordering can resolve module A importing module B before module B's
-marker import has run. When B's marker is later recorded, the adapter
-retroactively checks known importers in the graph, creates deferred marker
-violations for matching importers, and immediately runs pending-violation
-processing.
-
-## Deferral Policy
-
-The shared helper reduces to:
-
-```ts
-shouldDefer = isBuild || isDevMock
-```
-
-Adapter meaning:
-
-- Dev plus error reports immediately for non-pre-transform resolves.
-- Dev plus error silences pre-transform resolves because imports inside compiler
-  safe boundaries may not have been stripped yet, and there is no deferred
-  verification path in this mode.
-- Dev plus mock stores `pendingViolations`, then verifies later with
-  post-transform edge survival and reachability.
-- Build plus mock and build plus error store `deferredBuildViolations`, then
-  verify in `generateBundle` after tree-shaking.
-
-This is the main Vite-specific state machine difference from Rsbuild.
-
-## Lightweight Violations
-
-`buildViolationInfo()` creates a lightweight `ViolationInfo` record.
-
-The lightweight record contains:
-
-- environment name and boundary type.
-- effective behavior.
-- importer and specifier.
-- violation type, pattern, and resolved path when known.
-- an optional trace override.
-
-It intentionally does not compute expensive diagnostic data.
-
-Deferred work includes:
-
-- trace reconstruction.
-- source-location lookup.
-- code snippets.
-- source-map mapping.
-- AST usage analysis for the reported location.
-
-This work runs in `enrichViolationInfo()` only when a violation is about to be
-emitted or passed to `onViolation`. Violations suppressed by edge survival,
-reachability, or tree-shaking are never enriched.
-
-## Diagnostic Candidates
-
-A diagnostic candidate is a transformed module that is likely to need original
-source diagnostics later.
-
-This is not a confirmed violation. It is only a cheap transform-time decision
-about whether to capture the composed sourcemap while Vite/Rolldown still makes
-`this.getCombinedSourcemap()` safely available.
-
-`shouldCaptureDiagnosticSourceMap()` returns `true` when the transformed code
-contains import/export syntax and appears to reference import-protection inputs:
-
-- The code contains the opposite-boundary filename token, `.server` for client
-  environments or `.client` for server environments.
-- The code contains any configured marker specifier.
-- The code contains a literal denied specifier pattern.
-- A custom non-literal specifier matcher is configured.
-- A file matcher is a `RegExp` or does not contain the simple boundary token.
-
-The predicate intentionally does not parse import source literals with regexes.
-For default rules, the fast path is substring checks for `import`/`export`,
-`.server`, `.client`, marker specifiers, and default framework specifier strings.
-For custom non-literal rules, it captures more broadly for modules with
-import/export syntax rather than attempting a second import parser.
-
-`captureDiagnosticSourceMap()` is best effort:
-
-- It does nothing if the transform result already has a map.
-- It calls `this.getCombinedSourcemap()` only for diagnostic candidates or a
-  confirmed dev mock file violation found during the transform import-resolution loop.
-- It stores the map on the cached `TransformResult` when capture succeeds.
-- It ignores capture failures; diagnostics then fall back to transformed-code
-  locations and snippets when possible.
-- It records perf counters by reason, currently `candidate` and `devViolation`.
-
-The adapter does not read original files from disk for diagnostics. Original
-source text comes only from the code and sourcemaps that reach this plugin.
-
-## Original Code And Snippets
-
-The transform cache stores transformed code for every in-scope transformed module
-that is not self-denied. It stores a composed sourcemap only when selective
-diagnostic capture succeeds.
-
-`sourceLocation` derives original code lazily:
-
-- `getOriginalCode()` reads `map.sourcesContent` only on demand.
-- `pickOriginalCodeFromSourcesContent()` picks the best source by exact file,
-  resolved source path, suffix segment score, and finally the first source.
-- `getOrCreateOriginalTransformResult()` creates an original-source transform
-  result only when original code exists.
-- The derived original result is cached on the transform result.
-
-Importer locations prefer the most useful usage site rather than the import
-statement. The lookup order is:
-
-1. First post-compile usage of the denied binding, mapped through the sourcemap.
-2. Original-source unsafe usage from `sourcesContent`, excluding compiler-safe boundary callbacks.
-3. Transformed import-statement location, mapped through the sourcemap.
-
-Before lookup, enrichment builds multiple source candidates from the original
-specifier, resolved paths, root-relative paths, extensionless paths, and
-importer-relative paths.
-
-When a location is found, diagnostics include a vitest-style `Code:` snippet
-around that line. Snippets prefer original source from `sourcesContent` when it
-is available. If original source is unavailable, snippets use transformed code.
-If no location is found, the violation still reports without a snippet.
-
-## Trace Construction
-
-Trace construction is lazy and runs during enrichment.
-
-The adapter normally rebuilds traces from its own `ImportGraph`. In dev serve,
-it may prefer Vite's per-environment `moduleGraph` when that graph produces a
-longer trace. This helps warm-start cases where Vite skipped some `resolveId`
-calls.
-
-Trace steps are annotated with import-statement locations from transformed-code
-data when available. The leaf step falls back to the resolved importer location
-if the trace did not already have a location.
-
-## Runtime Mock Diagnostics
-
-Dev client mocks can embed a runtime diagnostic payload in the virtual module
-id. The payload includes:
-
-- environment name.
-- importer.
-- specifier.
-- runtime mock access mode.
-- the trace currently present on `ViolationInfo`.
-
-Because dev mock violations are substituted during silent deferral, the runtime
-mock id is often created before lazy enrichment. Browser runtime diagnostics are
-therefore access diagnostics, not the canonical source trace. The authoritative
-trace and snippet are produced later when a pending violation is confirmed and
-emitted to terminal output.
-
-Self-denial runtime mocks currently carry an empty trace payload because they are
-created directly from the denied file's own transform.
-
-## Dev Strategy
-
-### Dev Plus Error
-
-Vite throws immediately for non-pre-transform violations in `resolveId`.
-
-This mode can still produce known false positives because there is no dev-server
-tree-shaking phase. Pre-transform resolve paths like `SERVER_FN_LOOKUP` are
-silenced because they fire before compiler stripping and have no later deferred
-verification path in error mode.
-
-### Dev Plus Mock
-
-Vite defers all violations into `pendingViolations`.
-
-Later, the transform-cache plugin:
-
-1. Self-denies files when the transformed file itself violates file rules.
-2. Caches transformed code and any selectively captured diagnostic sourcemap.
-3. Resolves import sources from the transformed code.
-4. Records `postTransformImports` under each full normalized Vite id, preserving
-   unsplit routes and code-split variants separately.
-5. Adds import graph edges from transformed-code imports for warm-start traces.
-6. Maps import-protection mock-edge ids back to physical paths for edge survival.
-7. Detects file violations missed by warm-start `resolveId` cache hits.
-8. Rewrites denied imports to mock replacements in dev mock mode.
-9. Runs `processPendingViolations()` after each transform-cache update.
-
-Pending verification uses edge survival and reachability.
-
-`filterEdgeSurvival()` returns:
-
-- `all-stripped` when post-transform imports prove every pending violation was removed.
-- `await-transform` when pre-transform violations need transform data first.
-- active violations plus whether edge-survival data was applied.
-
-`checkPostTransformReachability()` returns:
-
-- `reachable` when a live path reaches a registered entry.
-- `unreachable` when all known live paths are cut off.
-- `unknown` when some graph edges still lack transform data.
-
-In dev serve with `unknown` reachability, the adapter can conservatively emit
-confirmed-surviving violations or in-scope file violations when pre-transform
-data is not involved.
-
-Bundled client dev also verifies post-transform reachability, so raw compiler
-lookup imports cannot make a stripped import chain appear reachable. Because
-child transforms can run before their route/importer edges are known, a surviving
-violation that is currently unreachable stays pending instead of being dropped.
-The bundled dev `generateBundle` hook verifies pending violations again after
-all importer edges are recorded.
-
-## Build Strategy
-
-Vite build uses mock-first, verify-later behavior.
-
-At resolve time, `reportOrDeferViolation()` calls `handleViolation()` silently to
-obtain the replacement id and stores a `DeferredBuildViolation`.
-
-Build replacements differ by violation type:
-
-- File violations return the physical resolved path; self-denial later replaces
-  that file's content.
-- Specifier violations return a mock-edge virtual module whose payload references
-  a unique build mock runtime id.
-- Marker violations return a mock-edge virtual module whose payload references a
-  unique build mock runtime id when the direct marker import violates the current
-  environment.
-
-At `generateBundle`, the adapter builds a set of module ids that survived
-tree-shaking. It normalizes multiple forms for comparison:
-
-- raw bundle module id.
-- normalized id with query/hash stripped.
-- root-relative path.
-- internal `\0` virtual id.
-- browser `__x00__` virtual id.
-
-Survival checks differ by violation type:
-
-- File violations check whether the physical resolved path survived after
-  self-denial replaced that module's content.
-- Specifier violations check whether the mock-edge module id survived.
-- Marker violations check whether the importer survived, including all
-  transform-result variant ids for that importer.
-
-Only surviving violations are enriched. After `onViolation` allows them:
-
-- Build plus error fails on the first real surviving violation.
-- Build plus mock warns once per dedupe key.
-- Non-surviving violations are suppressed as tree-shaken false positives.
-
-## Self-Denial In Vite
-
-For file-based violations, `resolveId` does not return a virtual mock id.
-Instead it returns the physical file path, and the transform-cache plugin
-independently decides whether that file is denied in the current environment.
-
-This Vite-specific choice exists for two reasons:
-
-- It avoids cross-environment cache contamination in shared resolver caches.
-- It avoids cold-start export-resolution issues when importer AST data is not
-  yet available.
-
-Self-denial runs before normal transform-result caching.
-
-Build self-denial returns a self-contained mock module generated from exports
-parsed from the denied file's code.
-
-Dev self-denial returns a mock module generated from the denied file's exports.
-For client-env self-denial with runtime mock access enabled, that mock references
-a runtime diagnostic module. For server-env self-denial, or when mock access is
-off, `mockRuntimeModuleIdFromViolation()` resolves to the silent mock module.
-The runtime diagnostic id is built from the denied file itself and currently has
-an empty trace payload.
-
-Because self-denial exits the transform hook early, self-denied files do not go
-through the normal transform-result cache path for that environment.
-
-## Mock Export Resolution
-
-Specifier and marker mocks need explicit named exports so ESM imports continue
-to link.
-
-`resolveExportsForDeniedSpecifier()` runs only while handling a violation. It
-tries, in order:
-
-- cached export maps for the importer.
-- transformed importer code from `transformResultProvider`.
-- `ctx.getModuleInfo(importerIdHint)?.code` as a fallback.
-- AST parsing through `getMockExportNamesBySource()`.
-- resolver-based aliases that index source keys by resolved physical ids.
-
-The result is cached in `mockExportsByImporter` and used by `makeMockEdgeModuleId()`.
-
-## Virtual Modules
-
-The shared mock generators use abstract ids without Vite's resolved `\0` prefix,
-such as:
-
-- `tanstack-start-import-protection:mock`
-- `tanstack-start-import-protection:mock:build:`
-- `tanstack-start-import-protection:mock-edge:`
-- `tanstack-start-import-protection:mock-runtime:`
-- `tanstack-start-import-protection:marker:`
-
-The Vite adapter adds:
-
-- a resolved `\0` prefix via `resolveViteId(...)`.
-- browser-prefixed ids via `__x00__` for virtual ids that pass through browser import paths.
-- `resolveInternalVirtualModuleId()` for normalizing import-protection virtual ids in `resolveId`.
-- `loadResolvedVirtualModule()` for serving generated virtual module code in `load`.
-
-The generated module contents are shared. The id transport is Vite-specific.
-
-## Warm-Start Considerations
-
-Vite can skip `resolveId` on warm cache hits.
-
-The adapter compensates by:
-
-- caching transformed code under both normalized Vite id and physical file path.
-- tracking all transform-result keys per physical file.
-- resolving transformed import sources in the transform-cache plugin.
-- recording post-transform imports for edge-survival checks.
-- adding graph edges from transformed imports for trace accuracy.
-- detecting dev mock file violations that `resolveId` missed on warm starts.
-- falling back to Vite's module graph for longer dev traces.
-
-Pre-transform lookup variants are explicitly excluded from post-transform
-liveness data because they contain uncompiled code.
-
-## Perf Instrumentation
-
-Perf collection is opt-in:
-
-```sh
-TSR_IMPORT_PROTECTION_PERF=1
-TSR_IMPORT_PROTECTION_PERF=true
-```
-
-When enabled, the adapter records counters and timings for:
-
-- `resolveId` calls.
-- transform-cache calls.
-- `this.resolve()` calls from resolve and transform paths.
-- transform import analysis.
-- shared AST parsing performed by import analysis and diagnostic lookup.
-- number of import sources found in transform-cache.
-- violations detected.
-- violations enriched.
-- diagnostic sourcemap capture by reason.
-- diagnostic sourcemap capture timing.
-
-Output is written as cumulative JSON to `TSR_IMPORT_PROTECTION_PERF_FILE` when
-set. Without that file, output is logged on each `closeBundle()`. The payload
-includes `flushCount` and `flushEnvironments` so multi-environment builds can be
-checked for full coverage.
-
-When perf is disabled, the adapter only keeps a single `perf` variable that is
-`undefined`; hot paths use optional chaining and do not allocate counters or
-timers.
-
-## Diagnostic Visibility Tests
-
-The import-protection e2e suite parses terminal and build output to verify
-violations, traces, and snippets.
-
-The suite checks:
-
-- Violations are parseable from logs.
-- Build error output contains a trace.
-- Warm dev traces include line numbers.
-- Offending usage snippets are present for representative violations.
-- Compiler-processed modules can still report original-source snippets when
-  sourcemap `sourcesContent` is captured.
-
-Browser runtime mock access diagnostics are separate from terminal diagnostics.
-They should not be treated as carrying the enriched canonical trace or snippet
-unless a test explicitly asserts that behavior.
-
-## Maintainer Rules
-
-When changing Vite import protection, ask:
-
-1. Is this really about Vite lifecycle timing or state?
-2. If not, should it move into the shared import-protection core?
-3. If yes, does it belong in resolve-time detection, transform-cache handling,
-   diagnostic enrichment, or bundle-time verification?
-4. Does the change do avoidable source-map, AST, trace, or snippet work before a
-   violation is confirmed?
-5. Does the change preserve the distinction between source graph evidence,
-   post-transform evidence, and bundle survival evidence?

Subject: [PATCH 0950/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): one compile per module in
 the Vite host (router, Hydrate and import-protection planners fused)

Start's Vite compiler plugin now runs every planner in the core's fixed
order - start-env, hydrate, rsc-css, route-split, route-hmr, import-edges -
in one compileModule per (environment, module), serving the derived
?tsr-split= and ?tss-hydrate= ids from the same plan (R11), with the router
planners configured as Start wired them (client: split + HMR with deleteNodes
ssr/server/headers; servers: deleteNodes only, R24; never in a separate
provider env). The import-protection host side follows the lane E contract:
edge module resolveId/load, dev graph + reporter per env (flushed after each
compile), build witness in generateBundle with the fixed-point veto rebuild
wrapped around every builder.build of a Start environment (also when
plugin-rsc drives the builds), a post-order late pass for non-JS importers
(R48), and tsconfig verbatimModuleSyntax read for J6.2.

Deleted: the interim Babel Hydrate post-pass (vite/hydrate-interim.ts, the
chunk load plugin), today's Vite import-protection plugin
(vite/import-protection-plugin/*), vite/module-id.ts, the separate router
transform instances of Start's router plugin, and the constants only they
used. hydrate-when-transform.ts and import-protection/* stay for the Rsbuild
path (lane B).

The Hydrate planner extracts exported pure declarations only a chunk needs
into extracted-export outputs (3.5.3), as the Babel transform did for
"an export only the children use loads lazily".

Pins flipped: start-compiler-jsx-pragma (2), hydrate-build (2). Test
adjusted: reported-location-trace "imports the entry back" keeps the client
entry's code alive (SPEC J6.4: dead edges are not reported).

Subject: [PATCH 0951/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild host fixes from the
 slow tier
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Edge modules keep the JavaScript module type under import attributes; the
dev reporter uses the current compilation's graph and no timers; failed
resolutions and missing-file facts are forgotten at watchRun (Rspack
reports no event for a recreated file nothing depended on); dependency
reads bypass Rspack's cached input file system; log 'always' reports again
on cache-hit compiles and kept modules; a marked entry reports itself;
server environments split routes too (Solid hydration keys); the Hydrate
planner extracts exported pure declarations only chunks need (DESIGN
§3.5.3) so they load lazily on Rspack.

-# Rsbuild Compiler Architecture
-
-This document explains the TanStack Start compiler integration for Rsbuild and Rspack. It focuses on server-function discovery, Rspack cache interaction, and the resolver virtual module.
-
-## Goals
-
-The Rsbuild integration has to do three things at the same time:
-
-- Compile Start-specific source patterns such as server functions, isomorphic functions, middleware, and compiler virtual modules.
-- Keep server-function metadata available when Rspack restores modules from its persistent cache and skips transforms.
-- Generate the `#tanstack-start-server-fn-resolver` virtual module after the server-function registry is complete for the current compilation.
-
-The important point is that server-function discovery is a side effect of compilation. If Rspack restores a transformed module from persistent cache, the transform side effect does not run. We therefore store the discovered metadata on the Rspack module itself and replay it from `module.buildInfo`.
-
-## Main Files
-
-- `plugin.ts` wires the Rsbuild plugin phases, virtual modules, RSC hooks, compiler ordering, and resolver rebuild hooks.
-- `start-compiler-host.ts` registers the Start compiler transforms, captures server-function metadata, writes metadata to Rspack `buildInfo`, and replays cached metadata.
-- `start-compiler-metadata.ts` defines the string keys and types used by the metadata loader.
-- `start-compiler-metadata-loader.ts` is the real Rspack loader that writes server-function metadata to the current module's `buildInfo`.
-- `virtual-modules.ts` owns the resolver virtual module and writes updated virtual module content per Rsbuild environment.
-- `../start-compiler/handleCreateServerFn.ts` discovers server functions while compiling caller modules.
-- `../start-compiler/server-fn-resolver-module.ts` generates the resolver module from the current server-function registry.
-
-## Environments
-
-Start registers compiler work for each Rsbuild environment that can affect server-function metadata:
-
-- `client` discovers functions referenced from browser code and marks them client-accessible.
-- `ssr` discovers functions reachable from the server-rendered route graph.
-- A separate provider environment is included when server-function providers are not compiled in `ssr` and RSC is not enabled.
-
-The shared registry is `serverFnsById`. It is passed to `virtual-modules.ts`, which uses it to generate resolver module content.
-
-## Cold Transform Path
-
-`registerStartCompilerTransforms()` registers an `api.transform({ order: 'pre' })` transform for each Start compiler environment.
-
-When a matching module is compiled normally:
-
-1. Rsbuild runs the Start transform in the pre-loader phase.
-2. The transform checks compiler virtual modules first.
-3. It runs cheap code filters to skip files that cannot contain Start compiler patterns.
-4. It lazily creates one `StartCompiler` per environment.
-5. It detects which compiler features are present in the current code.
-6. It serializes access to the per-environment `StartCompiler` through `runCompilerTask()`.
-7. It calls `compiler.compile({ id, code, detectedKinds })`.
-8. During compile, `handleCreateServerFn()` reports discovered server functions through `onServerFnsById`.
-9. The transform stores the discovered server functions for this module in the environment's pending metadata map.
-
-The module ID used for transform metadata is `ctx.resource`. The metadata loader later reads `this.resource`. Using the same Rspack resource string keeps the handoff stable across resource queries.
-
-## Server-Function Discovery
-
-Server functions are discovered in caller modules, not in provider modules. In `handleCreateServerFn()`, each discovered function records:
-
-- `functionName`, the generated handler export name.
-- `functionId`, the stable server-function ID.
-- `filename`, the caller module ID.
-- `extractedFilename`, the provider module ID with the server-function split query.
-- `isClientReferenced`, whether client-origin calls are allowed.
-
-`onServerFnsById` merges discoveries into the shared `serverFnsById` registry. While a compile task is active, it also merges the same discoveries into that module's `activeServerFnMetadata` object. After compile finishes, that object becomes the metadata payload for the module.
-
-Per-environment compiler tasks are serialized because `StartCompiler` owns mutable module caches and because `activeServerFnMetadata` must only describe the module currently being compiled in that environment.
-
-## Loading And Resolving Modules
-
-The compiler sometimes needs to read or resolve imported modules while compiling a source file.
-
-`start-compiler-host.ts` uses two native Rsbuild/Rspack surfaces for this:
-
-- `ctx.resolve()` from the active Rsbuild transform context resolves module IDs.
-- `compiler.inputFileSystem` reads source through Rspack's input filesystem.
-
-An `AsyncLocalStorage` value binds `loadModule` and `resolveId` back to the active transform context. That lets the compiler add dependencies to the current Rspack module without reaching into Rspack private resolver internals.
-
-## Why A Real Loader Is Used
-
-Rsbuild `api.transform()` is implemented as a loader, but its callback only exposes the transform context. It does not expose the current `NormalModule` or `module.buildInfo`.
-
-Rspack persists custom `module.buildInfo` fields. To write metadata there, Start installs a small real loader after the transform:
-
-1. `start-compiler-host.ts` adds a rule with `enforce: 'post'` for Start transformable modules.
-2. The rule points to the emitted `start-compiler-metadata-loader.js` file.
-3. The loader receives the environment's pending metadata map through loader options.
-4. A public `NormalModule.getCompilationHooks(compilation).loader` hook adds a setter to the loader context.
-5. The loader reads metadata for `this.resource` and calls the setter.
-6. The setter writes to `module.buildInfo['tanstack.start.serverFns']`.
-
-Only string-keyed, JSON-serializable `buildInfo` fields are used. Rspack persists those fields with the module cache. Symbol keys and private cache internals are intentionally avoided.
-
-## Cache-Enabled And Cache-Disabled Behavior
-
-The metadata loader is installed regardless of `performance.buildCache`.
-
-When persistent cache is enabled, Rspack may later restore a module without rerunning the Start transform or the metadata loader. The `buildInfo` payload is then replayed from the cached module.
-
-When persistent cache is disabled, the same loader path still runs during normal compilation and writes in-memory `buildInfo`. Keeping one path avoids conditional behavior and keeps cold, watch, cache-disabled, and cache-enabled builds aligned. The overhead is one small post loader for modules that already match the Start transform test.
-
-The cache-specific part is not the loader itself. The cache-specific part is that Rspack can persist and later restore the `buildInfo` field.
-
-## Stale Metadata Clearing
-
-If a module previously contained server functions and then no longer produces metadata, the metadata loader writes an empty payload:
-
-```ts
-{ version: 1, serverFnsById: {} }
-```
-
-This prevents stale server-function entries from surviving on a cached module's `buildInfo` after a file edit removes or renames server functions.
-
-## Warm Cache Replay
-
-Each relevant compiler installs a `finishMake` hook at stage `-20`.
-
-At that point Rspack has built or restored the module graph for the environment, and module `buildInfo` is available. The hook:
-
-1. Iterates over `compilation.modules`.
-2. Reads `module.buildInfo['tanstack.start.serverFns']`.
-3. Validates the payload with the versioned schema.
-4. Merges valid module metadata into an environment snapshot.
-5. Stores the snapshot in `serverFnsByEnvironment`.
-6. Rebuilds the shared `serverFnsById` registry from all environment snapshots.
-7. Notifies virtual modules that resolver content may have changed.
-
-The shared registry is rebuilt from snapshots instead of being append-only. This is what lets deleted or renamed server functions disappear after watch rebuilds or warm-cache restores.
-
-The pending transform-to-loader metadata maps are cleared on each Rspack `compile` hook. That prevents metadata discovered in an earlier compilation from being written to a later module when the transform no longer runs or no longer discovers server functions.
-
-## Why Snapshots Are Per Environment
-
-Each Rsbuild environment can see different information for the same file. For example, client and SSR caller environments can mark functions as client-accessible, while server and provider environments own server execution details. The merged registry preserves the broadest known access information.
-
-A single global replay pass would either drop another environment's metadata or keep stale metadata too long. The model is therefore:
-
-- Build one current snapshot per environment.
-- Replace the shared registry with the union of all available snapshots.
-- Regenerate resolver content from that shared registry.
-
-This keeps the global registry convergent while allowing Rspack environments to finish independently.
-
-## Resolver Rebuild Ordering
-
-The resolver virtual module must be rebuilt after cached metadata has been replayed.
-
-The ordering is:
-
-1. `finishMake` stage `-20`: replay `buildInfo` into environment snapshots and rebuild `serverFnsById`.
-2. `finishMake` stage `-10`: write resolver virtual module content and rebuild modules that import the resolver.
-
-For non-RSC builds, each server-like environment that needs the resolver installs the stage `-10` rebuild hook.
-
-For RSC builds, the server environment installs the RSC resolver rebuild hook at stage `-10`. It generates provider-style resolver content because RSC server actions run inside the server/RSC environment and do not need the client-reference check in that resolver layer.
-
-## Compiler Ordering
-
-Non-RSC Rsbuild uses Rspack `MultiCompiler.setDependencies()` to make resolver-owning environments wait for metadata-producing environments.
-
-The intended order is:
-
-- `client` runs before every server-like environment.
-- If a separate provider environment exists, the provider runs after `client`.
-- If a separate provider environment exists, `ssr` runs after both `client` and the provider.
-
-That ordering prevents the `ssr` resolver module from being finalized before provider metadata is available.
-
-RSC builds intentionally do not add these dependencies. Rspack's native RSC coordinator interleaves server and client compilation phases. Adding MultiCompiler dependencies on top of it can deadlock the build.
-
-## Native APIs Used
-
-The implementation uses Rsbuild/Rspack integration points instead of cache internals:
-
-- Rsbuild `api.transform()` for source transforms.
-- Rsbuild transform `ctx.resolve()` for module resolution.
-- Rspack `compiler.inputFileSystem` for source reads.
-- Rspack loaders for access to the loader pipeline.
-- Rspack `NormalModule.getCompilationHooks(compilation).loader` to extend loader context.
-- Rspack `module.buildInfo` for module-scoped persisted metadata.
-- Rspack `compiler.hooks.finishMake` for module graph replay and resolver rebuild ordering.
-- Rspack `compilation.rebuildModule()` through the local `rebuildModulesContaining()` helper.
-- Rspack `MultiCompiler.setDependencies()` for non-RSC compiler ordering.
-- Rspack `experiments.VirtualModulesPlugin` for virtual module content.
-
-The implementation avoids private persistent-cache files, direct cache mutation, direct `_module` access from loaders, global handoff state, and disabling module caching with `this.cacheable(false)`.
-
-## When A New Server Function Is Compiled
-
-For a new server function in a normal cold compile:
-
-1. Rsbuild sends the source module through the Start pre transform.
-2. `StartCompiler.compile()` rewrites the caller module and discovers the server function.
-3. `onServerFnsById` merges the function into `serverFnsById` and the active module metadata object.
-4. The transform stores `{ version: 1, serverFnsById: discoveredServerFnsById }` in the environment metadata map under the module resource.
-5. The post metadata loader runs for the same resource.
-6. The loader writes that payload into `module.buildInfo['tanstack.start.serverFns']`.
-7. Rspack owns the module from there. If persistent cache is enabled, Rspack persists the module and its string-keyed `buildInfo` with its normal cache machinery.
-8. At `finishMake -20`, Start reads current module `buildInfo` and rebuilds the environment snapshot.
-9. At `finishMake -10`, Start rewrites and rebuilds the resolver virtual module so runtime lookups can find the new function.
+# Rsbuild compiler architecture
+
+How TanStack Start's compiler runs on Rsbuild (Rspack): one compile per (environment, layer, module) on the shared
+compiler core (`@tanstack/router-utils/compiler`), through Start's own Rspack loaders.
+
+## Files
+
+- `start-compiler.ts` registers everything on the Rsbuild plugin API: the session, one `pre` loader rule per Start
+  environment, the late `post` pass for other module types, the `sideEffects` rules, the host plugin of each
+  environment compiler, the client route tree transform.
+- `compiler-session.ts` is the session every environment compiler shares: compiler caches, raw facts, import
+  protection, the server-function registry, the planners and configuration per environment and layer, the loader
+  implementation, the invalidation operation, the resolver module content, custom server-function ids.
+- `compiler-loader.ts` is the static loader file Rspack loads by path; the implementation lives on the compiler
+  (`compiler.__tanstackStartCompiler`), installed by the host plugin.
+- `host-plugin.ts` holds the Rspack hooks of one environment compiler (below).
+- `router-generator.ts` runs the route generator as a precondition of every compiler and serves the client route
+  tree without its server-only routes.
+- `virtual-modules.ts` owns the pure virtual modules (manifest, server-fn resolver, adapters, RSC runtime and HMR)
+  and the import-protection edge module files, under `<root>/node_modules/.virtual/`.
+
+## One compile per module
+
+The loader runs for every JavaScript/TypeScript id of an environment, derived ids included (`?tsr-split=`,
+`?tss-hydrate=`, `?tss-serverfn-split`): each id compiles from the text Rspack hands it, derived ids hit the plan of
+their file at the same revision. The planners run in the core's fixed order: `start-env` (server functions,
+environment separation), `hydrate`, `rsc-css` (modules of the RSC layer), `route-split` and `route-hmr` (client),
+`import-edges` (import protection). The loader composes its source map with the input map, names the absolute file
+as the map source, `addDependency`s every file the plan depended on, writes the module's server-function facts and
+import-protection records into `module.buildInfo`, and fails the module on an error diagnostic.
+
+Dependency modules under `node_modules` that import protection does not check are passed through without a parse
+when their text names no Start, router or RSC API and no builder step.
+
+## Environments and layers
+
+`client` and `ssr`; a separate provider environment only when the framework plugin asks for one without RSC. With
+RSC, server-function provider modules are the `?tss-serverfn-split` derived outputs of their files, placed in the
+`react-server-components` layer by the resource-query rule (with the `react-server` conditions and the
+`'use server-entry'` directive); every module of that layer gets the RSC CSS loader. A file compiled in two layers is
+two modules with two plans (the layer is part of the plan configuration).
+
+## Server functions
+
+A compile reports the server functions of its module in plan facts; the loader stores them in
+`buildInfo['tanstack.start.serverFns']`, which Rspack persists with the module. At `finishMake` (stage −20) the host
+plugin rebuilds the environment's snapshot from every module of the compilation (built now or restored from the
+persistent cache), the session rebuilds the registry from all snapshots, and the resolver virtual module is rewritten;
+at stage −10 its importers are rebuilt. The resolver is a manifest importing each provider module; production builds
+whose SSR environment is the provider list only client-referenced functions (the client compiles first:
+`MultiCompiler.setDependencies`). Custom ids (`generateFunctionId`) are placeholders in the outputs, allocated per
+rank (client first) and patched at `processAssets` before minification.
+
+## Import protection
+
+Edges are judged in the plan (per output, with the raw specifier the user wrote; file and marker rules on the
+resolved target, which for Rsbuild's `source.transformImport` is the rewritten target). A violation substitutes the
+specifier with a per-edge mock module written as a virtual file of the environment. In development the verdict is
+taken at compile time and reported at `finishModules`, when the module graph knows the importer's trace. In builds
+the mock is the survival witness: at `processAssets` the host reads which edge modules survived tree-shaking, asks
+`onViolation` once per surviving edge, switches vetoed edges to transparent re-exports and asks Rspack for an
+additional pass until no new veto appears; reports are published on the final pass.
+
+## Development invalidation
+
+`watchRun` runs the one invalidation operation of the compiler core for every modified (or created) and removed file;
+Rspack rebuilds the modules whose recorded dependencies changed, and the loader's cache hit returns the memoised
+output when a plan's fingerprints are unchanged. The generator runs before each compilation with the compiler's file
+events (and its own watcher for files outside the bundle); when the client's pruned route set changes without the
+tree file changing, the client compiler rebuilds the tree module at `finishMake`.

Subject: [PATCH 0954/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild RSC providers are
 self-contained modules of the react-server layer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The core copies what a provider output's roots reach instead of importing
the SSR stub from the env module (DESIGN §3.10.5, J4.14); Rspack's RSC
proxy query is no part of the source identity; the RSC layer does not split
routes; the manifest virtual path is read after the root is resolved. Flips
the Rsbuild RSC pins (CSS of helper modules, the diagnostics, the resolved
root) and the Vite 'use client' provider pin.

+Start on Rsbuild runs on the new compiler core: one compile per environment, layer and module through Start's own Rspack loaders (server functions, environment separation, `<Hydrate>`, RSC CSS, route splitting and HMR, import protection in one plan), server-function and import-protection facts persisted in `buildInfo` and replayed for the persistent cache, import-protection build verdicts after tree-shaking with an additional pass on `onViolation` vetoes, the route generator as a precondition of every environment compiler, the client route tree without server-only routes, and virtual modules under the resolved root. The Babel Start compiler and the previous Rsbuild import protection are removed.

Subject: [PATCH 0957/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): read Rspack's module graph
 only after finishModules

A trace built from a loader read the module graph during make, which
Rspack aborts on; the import-protection graph view is set at finishModules.
The raw-facts cache no longer publishes a read in flight when the file is
marked stale meanwhile. The Rsbuild compile tracker of the test harness
counts the runs of dependent compilers (MultiCompiler dependencies) and
waits for them, so a watch edit's outcome includes the server compile.

Subject: [PATCH 0959/1425] refactor(start-plugin-core): the host plugin does
 not load the Rspack loader file

The registry property name moves to its own module so that Rspack is the
first to load compiler-loader.js. Tooling that wraps loaders as they load
(the compiler-perf floor) could not see a file the plugin had already
imported.

Subject: [PATCH 0960/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): the Rspack graph view finds
 a concatenated entry by its root module

A production entry is a ConcatenatedModule without a resource of its own,
so the trace of a violation never recognised it as the entry when a module
imported the entry back. The pinned test is a plain test; its entry calls
its own start so the chain stays live on Rspack, which drops an entry's
unused exports.

Subject: [PATCH 0961/1425] fix(router-utils): a cluster holding a written
 binding is never an extracted export

A unit-level write (export function bump() { clicks++ }) unions the writer
with the written let into one declaration cluster, which passed the
extracted-export candidate check: state moved to ?tsr-split=export~bump, and
a Hydrate children region also writing the binding escaped the single-writer
rule (no hydrate-module-write, a chunk assigning an import). A cluster that
declares a module-level symbol with a live write is no candidate.

Subject: [PATCH 0962/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): the manifest ignores a
 discarded veto pass; Rsbuild hydrate pins

The client build capture of the manifest plugin skips a generateBundle whose
bundle import protection emptied (a non-final pass of the veto rebuild). Two
hydrate-build cases the Yuku Hydrate planner fixes stay pinned for Rsbuild,
still on the previous compiler.

Subject: [PATCH 0963/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Solid server envs split,
 original inputs carry no map, an entry's own marker is judged

Solid's hydration keys follow the component tree: the client renders a
split route component under the lazy wrapper's Lazy and Dynamic components,
so Start's Solid server env splits like the client (what main did for every
framework); React and Vue keep R24. Every split route hydrated with a
mismatch before (hydrate-dev-solid).

Vite answers an empty sourcemap chain with an identity map over the input,
counted by LF only; the host passes no input map when the map's single
source content is the input text, so a lone CR is a line terminator again
(reported-location, R-11 probe), and the Locator counts a real map's
generated lines by LF.

A server-only-marked client entry compiled in the client is its own marker
violation (located at the marker; the mock keeps the effect witness although
the marker module is empty, so the build verdict sees whether the entry
survived). Only entries: a marked module is otherwise judged through its
importers, so an exempt importer gets it (J6.7). The session takes isEntry.

Subject: [PATCH 0964/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): a pre-bundled dependency
 resolves to its source entry; flip 120 Vite pins the Yuku host fixes

Vite's dependency optimizer resolves a bare import to its bundle before the
bundle is written, so target facts read through that path saw a missing
module and the edge module's mock lost the target's export names (a dev
page loading a mock without the names it re-exports, timing-dependent). The
host maps an optimizer id back to the dependency's source entry through the
optimizer metadata: deterministic facts, stable resolution fingerprints.

Pins flipped (normal mode: every pin ran as an ordinary test and passed):
hydrate pages and module-level pins (48), Solid and React page suites (6,
Rsbuild rows stay pinned), import protection build/dev/exemption/trace/
location/alias/policy pins (64), dev-server pins (2). Rsbuild rows keep
their .fails (the Rsbuild path is still on the previous compiler).

Subject: [PATCH 0965/1425] fix(router-utils): only a region-written cluster is
 barred from extraction

The exported writer of module state (export function bump() { clicks++ })
may leave for its extracted output with the state when only a chunk reads
it (an exported function over module state loads with its chunk). Only a
binding some sub-region writes (Hydrate children, a split option value) keeps
its cluster out of the candidates, so the single-writer rule still refuses a
chunk assigning an import. The Hydrate unit test that pinned the live
binding's home is adjusted (the extracted output, not the parent).

Subject: [PATCH 0966/1425] test(start-plugin-core): route CSS rows on Rsbuild,
 and two routes sharing a module

The route CSS rows (SPEC J2.22) now live in route-css-cases.ts and run
for each bundler from its own file: known-bugs-route-css.test.ts on Vite
dev and build, known-bugs-route-css-rsbuild.test.ts on the Rsbuild dev
server and an Rsbuild production build served as `rsbuild preview` does
(new StartBuild.preview() of the build harness).

New rows: two routes whose components import their own CSS and share a
module. On a route, the other route's styles must not apply, after a
client-side navigation and in the page the server renders there. Vite
passes; on Rsbuild, with the shared module in a chunk of its own, the
page links the other route's stylesheet (Start's Rsbuild manifest, #8780),
pinned as a separate known bug.

Subject: [PATCH 0968/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): Hydrate chunks export
 H<n>, ordinal ids, Solid props only when read

The chunk component keeps its TsrHydrate<n> name but is exported as H<n>
(the parent's lazy wrapper reads 'H<n>'): the export name is production
bytes twice per boundary, and main used H<n>. The boundary id's prefix is
the boundary's ordinal in the pristine source, as on main, not the opening's
offset. A Solid chunk component takes its props parameter only when the
chunk reads it. The two deferred-hydration bundle scenarios were 10 to 12
gzip bytes over main; they are byte-identical now.

+---
+
+Start's Vite plugin compiles each module once per environment on the Yuku-based compiler core: route code splitting and route HMR, `<Hydrate>` extraction, the environment separation and import protection run in one pass, serving the split, Hydrate and server-function modules from the same plan. Import protection on Vite follows the new per-edge model: a denied import is substituted by a per-edge module whose mock exports the target's names (following `export *`), build violations are decided after tree-shaking with a fixed-point rebuild when `onViolation` allows an edge, exempt importers (`ignoreImporters`, `exclude`, `include`) and `onViolation` returning `false` get the real module, dependencies that mark themselves server-only follow `excludeFiles`, non-JS importers (`.mdx`, `.vue`) are judged on their compiled output, reports locate the import in the original source (also with vite-tsconfig-paths and lone-CR line endings), and the trace follows the bundler graph through modules outside the source directory. A server-only-marked client entry fails the build. Solid Start server environments split route components like the client so hydration keys agree. Hydrate chunks export their component as `H<n>` with ordinal boundary ids, as before the rewrite.
+
+Removed from `@tanstack/start-plugin-core`: the Vite import-protection plugin and the interim Babel Hydrate post-pass (both replaced); the Rsbuild path is unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 0970/1425] fix(router-plugin): deleting every option of a
 route takes the trailing comma

A run of deleted properties that is the whole options object took no comma
(the last property takes its leading one, the first has none), so a server
route compiled in the client env became createFileRoute(...)({ , }): a parse
error in dev. The run now takes the trailing comma, as does a sole property
range for handler deletion.

Subject: [PATCH 0971/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): every server router env
 splits route options like the client

React wraps a match in Suspense when its error component is lazy and Solid's
hydration keys follow the component tree, so an unsplit server (R24) renders
a tree the split client cannot hydrate: React regenerates the page and the
nested route never renders (perf app /s00 layout, HMR hydrate probe). Main
split both environments; the Start host does again.

Subject: [PATCH 0972/1425] chore(start-plugin-core, router-utils): delete the
 Babel modules no host imports anymore

Both Start hosts compile through the Yuku core now, so the interim modules
each lane kept for the other bundler are dead: hydrate-when-transform.ts,
start-compiler/{utils,babel-types}.ts, import-protection/{analysis,rewrite,
sourceLocation,virtualModules,extensionlessAbsoluteIdResolver}.ts and the
import-protection INTERNALS.md that described them; router-utils' Babel
helpers (ast.ts, compiler-helpers.ts) and their root exports, which no
package imports. Dependencies dropped: @babel/code-frame, @babel/core,
@babel/types, source-map, @types/babel__code-frame, @types/babel__core
(start-plugin-core); @babel/generator, @babel/parser, @babel/types,
babel-dead-code-elimination, @types/babel__generator (router-utils); the
unused `@babel/types` catalog entry.

-# Import Protection - Shared Internals
-
-## Overview
-
-`src/import-protection/` contains the adapter-independent core for TanStack
-Start import protection.
-
-Its current structure is:
-
-- parse module code once per `TransformResult`
-- derive a read-only `ImportAnalysis` object from that AST
-- reuse that analysis for source extraction, import-specifier locations, mock
-  export discovery, named export discovery, and usage lookup
-- keep AST mutation in a separate rewrite pass
-- keep adapter lifecycle/state-machine behavior outside this directory
-
-The shared layer is responsible for correctness-sensitive logic that must stay
-aligned between Vite and Rsbuild.
-
-## Shared Module Layout
-
-### `analysis.ts`
-
-The central shared analysis module.
-
-It builds and caches `ImportAnalysis` on `TransformResult.analysis`.
-
-`ImportAnalysis` contains:
-
-- parsed AST
-- line index
-- import sources in source order
-- import specifier literal locations
-- imported bindings by source
-- mock export names by source
-- named exports
-- usage-position cache
-
-It exposes both result-based and code-based helpers:
-
-- `getOrCreateImportAnalysis(result)`
-- `getImportSourcesFromResult(result)`
-- `getImportSources(code)`
-- `getImportSpecifierLocationFromResult(result, source)`
-- `getMockExportNamesBySourceFromResult(result)`
-- `getMockExportNamesBySource(code)`
-- `getNamedExportsFromResult(result)`
-- `getNamedExports(code)`
-- `findPostCompileUsagePosFromResult(result, source)`
-- `findPostCompileUsagePos(code, source)`
-- `findOriginalUnsafeUsagePosFromResult(result, source, envType)`
-- `findOriginalUnsafeUsagePos(code, source, envType)`
-- `isValidExportName(name)`
-
-### `adapterUtils.ts`
-
-Contains small adapter-facing shared helpers for decisions that are identical in
-Vite and Rsbuild.
-
-It currently owns:
-
-- environment type selection from `envTypeMap`
-- environment rule selection from `compiledRules`
-- normalized root-relative path calculation
-- importer filtering via include/exclude/ignore/srcDirectory rules
-
-This keeps the adapters from duplicating the same targeting logic while still
-leaving lifecycle-specific behavior in the adapter implementations.
-
-### `rewrite.ts`
-
-Contains the actual AST mutation pass for denied static imports and re-exports.
-
-It is intentionally separate from `analysis.ts`.
-
-Why:
-
-- analysis is read-only and cacheable
-- rewrite mutates AST structure and generates code/maps
-- keeping them separate prevents adapter code from depending on mutation when it
-  only needs inspection
-
-`rewriteDeniedImports()` rewrites denied static import/re-export edges to mock
-module imports while preserving explicit bindings expected by the importer.
-
-### `sourceLocation.ts`
-
-Builds source locations and snippets from transformed code plus sourcemaps.
-
-It reuses shared analysis for two important lookups:
-
-- import-specifier positions in transformed code
-- post-compile and original-source usage locations
-
-It also owns:
-
-- line-index helpers
-- sourcemap normalization
-- `sourcesContent` original-source selection
-- import-location caching for traces
-- code snippet formatting
-
-### `virtualModules.ts`
-
-Owns the shared mock module generators and payload encoding.
-
-This includes:
-
-- silent mock module code
-- runtime diagnostic mock module code
-- mock-edge module code with explicit named exports
-- self-denial module generation for denied files
-- marker module loading
-
-The adapter-specific transport of these modules is not handled here.
-
-### `defaults.ts`, `matchers.ts`, `utils.ts`, `trace.ts`
-
-These remain shared support layers:
-
-- `defaults.ts`: default deny/marker rules
-- `matchers.ts`: compiled glob/regex matcher utilities
-- `utils.ts`: path normalization, candidate generation, messages, defer logic,
-  generic helpers
-- `trace.ts`: import graph, traces, snippet-aware message formatting
-
-## Analysis Lifetime And Cache Model
-
-The key cache decision is: analysis is cached per `TransformResult`, not
-globally by source text.
-
-That means:
-
-- Vite can attach analysis to transform-cache results for the current module
-  version
-- Rsbuild can attach analysis to transform results rebuilt from compilation or
-  preloaded during transform
-- cache invalidation follows the host tool's normal module invalidation model
-- long dev/HMR sessions do not accumulate an unbounded process-global AST cache
-
-The analysis object is read-only after creation, except for the internal
-`usageByKey` memoization map.
-
-## Import Source Extraction
-
-`getImportSources()` is now AST-driven and returns sources in encountered order.
-
-It includes:
-
-- `import ... from 'x'`
-- `export ... from 'x'`
-- `export * from 'x'`
-- `import('x')`
-- dynamic import call forms supported by Babel's AST shape
-
-Adapter code that needs source extraction should call into `analysis.ts`
-directly.
-
-## Mock Export Discovery
-
-Mock-edge modules need to know which named exports the importer expects.
-
-`analysis.ts` derives that from the importer AST by recording:
-
-- named import specifiers
-- namespace member access
-- default-import member access
-- re-export specifiers
-
-This produces `mockExportNamesBySource`, which is a safe over-approximation of
-the named exports the adapter should expose on a mock-edge module.
-
-## Named Export Discovery
-
-Self-denial needs the denied file's export surface.
-
-`getNamedExports()` and `getNamedExportsFromResult()` collect valid named
-exports from:
-
-- function/class declarations
-- variable declarations, including destructuring patterns
-- export specifiers and aliases
-
-`default` is excluded from the named export list because the mock generators
-handle default export separately.
-
-## Usage Lookup And Safe Boundaries
-
-Usage lookup is shared across adapters through `analysis.ts`.
-
-The walker:
-
-- tracks lexical/program/block/function bindings manually
-- respects shadowing across nested scopes, block bindings, function params, and
-  `catch` params
-- treats certain compiler-recognized boundaries as safe when looking for
-  original unsafe usage
-
-Safe boundary recognition is environment-specific:
-
-- client env safe boundaries:
-  - `createServerFn().handler(...)`
-  - `createMiddleware(...).server(...)`
-  - `createIsomorphicFn().server(...)`
-  - `createServerOnlyFn(...)`
-- server env safe boundaries:
-  - `createClientOnlyFn(...)`
-  - `createIsomorphicFn().client(...)`
-
-This is the core shared logic that keeps both adapters aligned on cases like
-`boundary-safe`, `factory-safe`, and `compiler-leak`.
-
-## Rewriting Versus Analysis
-
-Analysis and rewrite are intentionally separate.
-
-Reasons:
-
-- adapters frequently need inspection without mutation
-- mutation wants a fresh, isolated AST/codegen pass
-- read-only analysis is much easier to cache safely
-- source-location helpers and usage lookup should not depend on whether a module
-  was rewritten
-
-The intended flow is:
-
-1. build or reuse `ImportAnalysis`
-2. inspect/import-locate/trace as needed
-3. if a denied-specifier rewrite is needed, run `rewriteDeniedImports()`
-
-## Adapter Contract
-
-The shared layer deliberately does not decide:
-
-- when a violation is discovered
-- when it is reported versus deferred
-- how dev/build lifecycle hooks work
-- how virtual module ids/files are transported by the bundler
-- how final compilation truth is obtained
-
-Those are adapter responsibilities.
-
-The shared layer does provide the primitives both adapters rely on:
-
-- rule helpers
-- AST parsing
-- analysis
-- rewrite
-- virtual module code generation
-- source locations/snippets
-- trace formatting
-
-## Maintainer Guidance
-
-When making future import-protection changes:
-
-1. If the behavior is about parsing, source extraction, export discovery, usage
-   lookup, source locations, rewrite mechanics, or mock codegen, it probably
-   belongs in `src/import-protection/`.
-2. If the behavior is about hook timing, deferral, compilation truth, pending
-   queues, or environment-specific virtual-module transport, it probably belongs
-   in the adapter docs/code.
-3. Prefer extending `ImportAnalysis` over adding new one-off parsers or wrapper
-   helpers.
-4. Avoid reintroducing global source-text caches; cache on `TransformResult`
-   instead.

 Start's Vite plugin compiles each module once per environment on the Yuku-based compiler core: route code splitting and route HMR, `<Hydrate>` extraction, the environment separation and import protection run in one pass, serving the split, Hydrate and server-function modules from the same plan. Import protection on Vite follows the new per-edge model: a denied import is substituted by a per-edge module whose mock exports the target's names (following `export *`), build violations are decided after tree-shaking with a fixed-point rebuild when `onViolation` allows an edge, exempt importers (`ignoreImporters`, `exclude`, `include`) and `onViolation` returning `false` get the real module, dependencies that mark themselves server-only follow `excludeFiles`, non-JS importers (`.mdx`, `.vue`) are judged on their compiled output, reports locate the import in the original source (also with vite-tsconfig-paths and lone-CR line endings), and the trace follows the bundler graph through modules outside the source directory. A server-only-marked client entry fails the build. Solid Start server environments split route components like the client so hydration keys agree. Hydrate chunks export their component as `H<n>` with ordinal boundary ids, as before the rewrite.
 
-Removed from `@tanstack/start-plugin-core`: the Vite import-protection plugin and the interim Babel Hydrate post-pass (both replaced); the Rsbuild path is unchanged.

+### Floor (`--scenarios floor`)
+
+How fast each scenario would be if the TanStack compiler cost nothing while
+producing exactly the same output. `scripts/replay.mjs`:
+
+- **record** (one unmeasured run per scenario): every hook of a plugin whose
+  name matches `tanstack` (`COMPILER_PERF_REPLAY_PLUGINS` overrides the regex)
+  that returns code (`transform`, `load`, `renderChunk`; Rsbuild
+  `api.transform` handlers; unplugin `transform`/`load` hooks under Rspack;
+  Rspack loaders shipped by `@tanstack/*` packages, wrapped in Node's require
+  cache so module ids do not change; Rspack `VirtualModulesPlugin` writes) runs
+  for real and its result is stored by (environment, plugin, hook, id with
+  `v=`/`t=` queries stripped, hash of the input code), plus the call's
+  occurrence index.
+- **replay** (the measured `<variant>/floor-<scenario>` runs): the store is
+  deserialized when the config loads, and those hooks return the stored
+  result without running. A miss runs the real hook (`misses`; should be 0).
+  The load time (`replayLoadMs`) is subtracted from the times (`raw*` keeps
+  the unadjusted values).
+
+It works on any compiler implementation because it keys on plugin names, hook
+identity and loader packages, not on compiler internals. `--floor` selects the
+scenarios (default `build,dev-compile,dev-cold,hmr,rsbuild-build`); run the
+real scenarios in the same invocation so `summary.md` can put real and floor
+side by side.
+
+Checks and limits:
+
+- Build output is hashed (`outputHash`); dev compile-all hashes every served
+  module per environment (`clientOutputHash`, `ssrOutputHash`, with
+  per-session queries and Vite's run-dependent CJS interop order
+  normalized). `outputMismatch` counts hashes that differ from the record
+  run; `results.floor.<scenario>.realMatches` compares the record run with
+  the real run.
+- The other hooks of the same plugins still run (`otherTanstackHookSyncMs`):
+  `resolveId`, `hotUpdate`, `generateBundle`, and the **route generator**
+  (Vite `configResolved`, Rspack `beforeRun`), reported as `generatorMs`
+  (settled time; on the startup critical path, so `floor − generatorMs`
+  estimates a floor without the generator). `routeTree.gen.ts` is kept
+  between runs, so the generator only checks and does not rewrite it.
+- Side effects of replayed hooks do not happen (`this.addWatchFile`, extra
+  `this.load` calls of the server-fn lookup, compiler caches). The output
+  checks catch side effects that change output.
+- Floor HMR uses deterministic edit tokens; the record run makes extra edits
+  to cover the replay run's retries.
+
+### Memory (`--scenarios memory,leak`)
+
+`scripts/memory.mjs` takes snapshots with `--expose-gc` (two full GCs first):
+V8 `heapUsedMb`, `externalMb`, `arrayBuffersMb`, `rssMb`, `peakRssMb` (VmHWM)
+and the RSS of descendant processes (`childPeakRssMb`, sampled every 200 ms).
+Memory runs are separate from timed runs (`--memory-runs`, default 3).
+
+- `mem-build`, `mem-rsbuild-build`: CLI build preloaded with
+  `--import memory.mjs`; the snapshot is taken at process exit.
+- `mem-dev-cold`: dev server after `/` hydrated; `mem-dev-compile`: after
+  compile-all.
+- `leak`: dev server after a cold start with `/` and one page per probe open,
+  snapshot, then `--leak-cycles` (default 50) edit + revert cycles rotating
+  over route component, route loader, server function handler and shared
+  module, each waiting for the edit and for the revert to show up; a
+  snapshot every 10 cycles (`series`) and at the end. `heapGrowthMb` /
+  `rssGrowthMb` are end − start.

+// Record/replay of the TanStack compiler's outputs, for the "floor" scenarios.
+//
+// Inert unless COMPILER_PERF_REPLAY is `record` or `replay`.
+//
+// - record: every hook of a TanStack plugin that returns code (Vite/Rolldown
+//   `transform`, `load`, `renderChunk`; Rsbuild `api.transform` handlers;
+//   unplugin `transform`/`load` hooks under Rspack; Rspack loaders shipped by
+//   `@tanstack/*` packages) runs for real and its result is stored under
+//   (environment, plugin, hook, id, hash of the input code). The store is
+//   written to COMPILER_PERF_REPLAY_FILE on process exit.
+// - replay: the store is loaded when the plugin is created (before the
+//   bundler starts; the load time is reported so the harness can subtract
+//   it), and those hooks return the stored result without running. A call
+//   without a stored result runs the real hook and counts as a miss.
+//
+// So a replay run produces the same modules as the recorded run while the
+// compiler's transforms cost (almost) nothing: its time is the floor for the
+// current output. Other hooks of the same plugins (resolveId, the route
+// generator in configResolved / Rspack beforeRun, hotUpdate, generateBundle,
+// ...) still run and are timed separately (`realHooks` in the stats).
+//
+// Plugins are selected by name (COMPILER_PERF_REPLAY_PLUGINS, a
+// case-insensitive regex, default `tanstack`) and Rspack loaders by the name
+// of the package that ships them (`@tanstack/*`), so the same harness works
+// on any compiler implementation.
+//
+// Limits: side effects of a replayed hook (state other hooks read later,
+// `this.addWatchFile`, `this.emitFile`, extra `this.load` calls) do not
+// happen in replay. The harness checks that replayed builds emit the same
+// files and that replayed dev servers serve the same modules.

Subject: [PATCH 0975/1425] fix(router-utils): decide orphans on the final env
 liveness, after cancelled extractions

A cancelled extracted-export candidate (an exported component nothing extracted
needs) becomes an env root again, but orphans were computed from the env
liveness before that: an import the candidate reads was removed when an erased
range (server-only code) had read it too, so a <Hydrate> after erased server
code lost its Hydrate/idle imports on the client. Flips 3 known-bugs-hydrate
pins; the 5 other rows of the file were fixture problems (load() boundaries
render no id for the helper to find; isomorphic fns rendering different trees
per env are a hydration mismatch by construction) and are plain tests now.

Subject: [PATCH 0976/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild manifest counts a
 chunk available only when every group of the importer has it (#8780)

computeStaticDependencyChunks took the union of the chunks of every group a
shared chunk belongs to, so a module duplicated into each route's chunk made
the shared chunk depend on both routes' chunks and each route's page linked
the other route's CSS. The intersection over the groups (with their
ancestors) keeps a per-group dependency out of the shared chunk's imports.
Flips the four shares-module rows of known-bugs-route-css-rsbuild.

Subject: [PATCH 0977/1425] fix(router-utils): a marker import is no evaluation
 edge and no effect of the marked module

Target facts counted `import '@tanstack/react-start/server-only'` as a bare
import that evaluates a module and as an own effect, so import protection
judged a marked module effectful whenever the marker specifier did not
resolve to a side-effect-free file (Rsbuild's resolver answers nothing for
it): the mock's effect witness kept the edge alive wherever a barrel
re-exporting the module evaluated, and an unused re-export failed the build.
Flips the Rsbuild barrel row of importProtection/build.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 0978/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): the Vite host leaves parse
 errors to the bundler's parser

A CommonJS dependency with a top-level `return` is no ES module: the core
reports a parse error and leaves the module as it is, and Vite's own parser
reports real syntax errors at the user's position (as the Rsbuild loader
already did). Flips the Vite row of "a CommonJS dependency with a top-level
return builds and keeps its meaning".

Subject: [PATCH 0979/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): drop Rolldown's chunking
 hint about the server-fn resolver's lazy imports

With the SSR environment as the provider, the resolver imports each server fn
module lazily and the server bundle imports the same module statically, so
every production build printed INEFFECTIVE_DYNAMIC_IMPORT for each of them.
The plugin's config composes the app's onwarn and drops that hint for the
resolver only. Flips the Vite row of "in mock mode, an unused denied module
leaves nothing in the client bundle and no warning" (its import-protection
part already passed; the hint was the last report on a channel).

Subject: [PATCH 0980/1425] fix(start-client-core): client middleware sees only
 the server fn id during SSR

With the SSR env as the server-fn provider, an SSR caller holds the
provider's extractedFn (createServerRpc with id, name and filename), so
client middleware run during SSR received the full ServerFnMeta while
its type (ClientFnMeta) and the browser give only { id }. Found by the
react-start server-functions e2e ('function middleware receives
serverFnMeta in options'). The client branch folds away.

Subject: [PATCH 0982/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): import-protection reports
 print a code frame

SPEC J6.5 requires a code frame in the report; the import-edges planner
located violations but recorded no source text, so reports (and
onViolation's optional snippet) had none. The planner now records the
original lines around the location (the input text, or the input map's
sourcesContent) for each violation. Oracle: reported-location-trace
'the printed report shows the importer's original source at its
location' (Vite and Rsbuild).

Subject: [PATCH 0984/1425] test(e2e): deferred-hydration HMR waits on the
 route's dev modules

The helper fetched a guessed Hydrate child id (?tss-hydrate=0_<hash>);
ids and which module holds the edited component are compiler-internal.
Follow the route module's derived modules from the route instead.

Subject: [PATCH 0985/1425] fix(router-plugin): an edit of a split loader alone
 reaches the page on webpack-style hosts
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The route module's code does not change when only a split non-component
option does, so nothing re-ran it: the chunk's export was a React Refresh
boundary (a capitalised binding), its update stopped there and the route kept
its old data. Non-component split bindings are now lowercase (no boundary),
so the update bubbles to the importer, which re-imports the chunk; the chunk's
dev block (webpack style only) then asks the live route to refresh through a
new dev-only helper of the framework routers (__tsrRouteChunkHmr →
router-core applyRouteChunkHmr). Flips the two Rsbuild split-loader cells of
known-bugs-route-hmr; Rspack's default lazy-compilation proxies re-resolve the
module the same way.

Subject: [PATCH 0987/1425] test(start-plugin-core): the Rsbuild .mdx
 import-protection rows accept the page's thrown denial

With behavior "error" a denied importer fails to build in dev (SPEC J6.3), so
the page throws that denial instead of running the real code: the harness's
client runner rejects on it, for an .mdx page exactly as for a JS importer
(verified). The two rows are plain tests; the custom-type rows stay pinned
(Rspack rules select by resource, not by module type). Also the changeset of
the lane and a typing fix of the resolver-warning unit test.

+Compiler fixes from the pin sweep: a `<Hydrate>` after server-only code the client removes keeps its imports; a marker import (`@tanstack/react-start/server-only`) is no evaluation edge, so an unused re-export of a marked module no longer fails an Rsbuild build; Start's Rsbuild client manifest lists only the chunks a route loads (#8780); the Vite host leaves a module it cannot parse as an ES module (a CommonJS dependency with a top-level `return`) to the bundler; Rolldown's chunking hint about the server-fn resolver's lazy imports is no longer printed; on webpack-style hosts an edit of a split route option other than a component (`loader`, …) reaches the open page (the chunk asks the live route to refresh through a dev-only helper of the framework routers).

Subject: [PATCH 0989/1425] fix(router-utils): home what env roots added after
 homing read

Effectful clusters homed in the env module for their derived needers
become env roots after homes are decided; what they read in the env
module was homed as if the env module did not need it. A generated
import an env-scoped edit reads (the tsrSsrRpc stub glue of a server fn
that a split component and the Rsbuild RSC provider output need) was
removed as an orphan: the SSR build referenced tsrSsrRpc undeclared
and every page of the react-start/rsc e2e app (rsbuild-ssr) failed.
Such clusters are now homed like any env-needed cluster.

Tests: router-utils placement 'keeps a generated import an env-scoped
edit reads...'; react-start-rsc rsc-start-rsbuild-build (Rsbuild RSC
production build, a server fn only its route's component calls).

Subject: [PATCH 0990/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rspack traces follow
 scope-hoisted modules

In production Rspack scope-hoists modules: connections from outside a
ConcatenatedModule move to it (their target stays resolvedModule), and
a connection from one names the ConcatenatedModule as origin (the
importing module is getParentModule(dependency)). The trace view read
neither, so mock-mode build traces of split route components stopped
at the route file (react-start/import-protection e2e, rsbuild).

Oracle: reported-location-trace 'the trace of a mock-mode build reaches
a split route component from the entry'.

Subject: [PATCH 0991/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Vite RSC always derives the
 server-fn provider module

PROPOSAL (contradicts DECISIONS D6 'derived provider modules only for
Rsbuild RSC and Vite RSC use-client modules'; architect's call).

With the route module itself as the rsc env's provider, the provider
evaluates the module's client-only module-level code under react-server:
a route defining a server fn next to React.createContext(...) failed
with 'createContext is not a function' (react-start/rsc e2e rsc-context,
Vite; main passes, Rsbuild passes since it always derives). The rsc env
now gets the ?tss-serverfn-split provider output (what the server fns
reach), as on Rsbuild.

Test: react-start-rsc rsc-start-build 'a server fn runs in the provider
next to its route module's client-only code' (failed before).

Subject: [PATCH 0992/1425] docs(oracle): add G16, removed code takes what only
 it used
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Whatever a transform removes takes with it, in that module and before the
bundler, everything only the removed code used, through any shape; it keeps
what kept code reads and what was already dead. Per module only: J4.12 now
says a neutral module's export is the user's, and server-only helpers
belong in *.server.* files. A leftover import of a module the environment
cannot or must not load is not G8 dead code: no stub, no warning, no
polyfill. Cross-references in G8, J4.12 and §5.9.

Subject: [PATCH 0993/1425] test(start-plugin-core): no stub or warning for
 imports only removed server code reads

The unresolvable-imports build now also fails when the Vite client build
swaps in a browser stub and warns about the importing module (checked by
file and severity), which it did not notice before. It adds a
createServerOnlyFn body and an isomorphic .server() reading node:buffer
through a helper. The server-only routes app gives a page route a server
handler over node:buffer, which deleteNodes removes on the client. The
side-effect hints app adds an unannotated initializer only the handler
reads, which must not reach the client.

Subject: [PATCH 0994/1425] test(start-plugin-core): client-only imports never
 reach the server

A browser-only package (it reads window when it loads) that only a
createClientOnlyFn body and an isomorphic .client() read, through a
diamond and a cycle of helpers, never loads on the server: in dev (the
SSR environment) and in Vite and Rsbuild builds, where the server build
must neither bundle it nor warn about its importer, and SSR runs. A new
S2 pin covers the server twin of the class rows: a class only a
client-only fn uses keeps its client-only import on the server today.

Subject: [PATCH 0995/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): prune neighbouring orphaned
 pattern properties together

On a server env, locals of one object pattern that only <ClientOnly>
children read are orphaned together; each property's removal took the
separator to its neighbour, so two neighbours gave partially overlapping
edits and the compile threw ('conflict: start-env ... partially
overlaps'): react-start/basic's root route failed to build (Vite and
Rsbuild). The properties a round prunes are now removed per pattern,
one range per run of removed properties.

Test: clientOnlyJSX 'a boundary with locals of one pattern only its
children read renders its fallback on the server...' (failed before).

Subject: [PATCH 0996/1425] bench(compiler-perf): replay ESM Rspack loaders
 through a module hook

Rspack gives a loader in a "type": "module" package type 'module' and
import()s it, so the require cache wrapper never saw Start's compiler loader
(the Rsbuild floor replayed 3 hooks and measured the real build). A load hook
now serves a wrapper module under the loader's URL; the loader request is
unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 0998/1425] bench(bundle-size): measure Start server output and
 server cold start
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

server.mjs builds the Start scenarios with their server environment and
reports server bytes, the chunks and modules a first request to / loads, and
process spawn → first SSR response on a quiet machine.

 These are intended for one-off scripts that replay historical commits and append results to the same history dataset shape used for chart generation.
 If `--append-history` points at a `data.js` file, output is written as `window.BENCHMARK_DATA = ...` for direct GitHub Pages compatibility.

+## Server Output
+
+`scripts/benchmarks/bundle-size/server.mjs` builds the Start scenarios with
+their server environment (`measure.mjs` builds the client only) and reports

+  --maps-dist-dir benchmarks/bundle-size/dist-server-maps --build-maps \
+  --out server.json [--baseline <other server.json>]
+```
+
+To compare checkouts, run it with `--repo-root <other checkout>` and dist
+directories inside that checkout (chunks resolve their externals from there).

Subject: [PATCH 0999/1425] fix(router-utils): render zero-width edits at an
 edit's start once

Edits sort zero-width first, so an insert at an edit's own start is its
sibling, rendered before it; a slice of the edit's body starting there
rendered it again. The core's import recipe keeps the comment before an
import statement (slice from the item's start): with a leading comment
(`/// <reference types="vite/client" />`) and an import that loses a
name, the after-header units (lazy importers, glue imports) were
printed twice and the route module declared them twice (react-start and
solid-start basic e2e: root routes failed to build).

Tests: router-utils placement 'renders them once when the import
statement the core rewrites starts with a leading comment'; router-plugin
code-splitter-route-options 'are split when the route module starts with
a comment before an import the component shares' (both failed before).

Subject: [PATCH 1000/1425] test: run every dependency shape through every
 removal

One list of shapes (@tanstack/compiler-test-utils/dead-code-shapes): a
chain, a diamond, mutual recursion, a class and a const that read each
other, a helper kept code reads too (through typeof, a shorthand, JSX and
export { a as b }), code already dead before the transform, a let a
function assigns, an object and an array holding the helper, a closure a
factory call returns, a default parameter, a namespace import and a
top-level await. Each shape runs through every removal: server fn
handlers, createServerOnlyFn and isomorphic .server() on the client,
createClientOnlyFn and isomorphic .client() on the server, <Hydrate>
children in the parent, split route options and deleteNodes options in
the route module. Each cell checks that the module loads and gives the
right values in both environments, that the module only the removed code
needed is not loaded, and that kept and already-dead code stay.

Main fails ten cells. New root cause S7: the const of a class and const
cycle is removed and the class kept, so the module throws when it loads
(every Start removal, split option, deleteNodes). New J5 entry: the
parent of a <Hydrate> keeps the shared end of a diamond and both halves
of a cycle, with their import.

Subject: [PATCH 1001/1425] bench(compiler-perf): report the leak check's
 failing edit

The leak check passed edits without the dev server, so a failing edit crashed
while building its error message; name the cycle as well.

Subject: [PATCH 1002/1425] docs(oracle): the server drops client-only code
 whatever the file's name
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

J4.11 now requires the server to drop what only client-only code reads
(`<ClientOnly>` children, `createClientOnlyFn` bodies, isomorphic
`.client()` implementations) for every imported module, not only
`*.client.*` and client-only-marked files: a neutral module or a package
left behind reaches the server just like a client-only file would. The
§5.12 freedom is removed, and G3, G16 and C15 follow.

Subject: [PATCH 1003/1425] test(start-plugin-core): require the server drop
 for neutral modules
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tests that left it open whether the server keeps neutral modules only
client-only code reads now require the drop, checked by outcome:

- `<ClientOnly>` children: the libraries only the children import throw
  when they load, so the server render fails if it loads them.
- An aliased re-export of createClientOnlyFn: the SSR environment does not
  load the neutral `./browser` module.
- The dead-code shape table runs the server-side removals over a neutral
  module instead of a `*.client.*` file.
- The `<ClientOnly>` build adds a neutral module with a top-level effect:
  it is absent from the server bundle.

All pass on main. Comments cite J4.11 instead of the removed §5.12.

Subject: [PATCH 1004/1425] test(router-plugin): pin lost parentheses around a
 JSX element in a route module

A route module that reads a member of a JSX element, `(<Tag />).props`,
is printed as `<Tag />.props`, which does not parse, so the route module
fails to load. Same upstream printer bug as the other S3 pins.

Subject: [PATCH 1006/1425] fix(router-utils): never resolve builtins or
 URL-scheme specifiers for analysis

The core's cached resolution asks the host only for specifiers that can
name a project module or a package. A Node builtin or a URL-scheme
specifier (node:, bun:, cloudflare:, data:) resolved only for the analysis
made Vite's client resolver warn "has been externalized for browser
compatibility" about an import a deleted handler read (G16, J4.12).
`virtual:` passes: a bundler's virtual module may be a project module.

Subject: [PATCH 1007/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): drop the dead origin check
 of the production resolver

The production manifest already lists only client-referenced server
functions (R44), so the per-entry isClientReferenced flag and the
never-throwing origin check only cost bytes in every server entry.

Subject: [PATCH 1008/1425] perf(router): move the dev-only route HMR runtime
 to a /hmr subpath

applyRouteHmr and the frameworks' __tsrRouteHmr/__tsrRouteChunkHmr were
exported from the production index, so Node loaded hmr.js at server cold
start. They live on @tanstack/router-core/hmr and @tanstack/<fw>-router/hmr
now; only the compiler's dev-only HMR block imports them. Both Vite hosts
pre-bundle the subpath (no source file imports it: discovering it on the
first route module would re-optimize and reload).

Subject: [PATCH 1009/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): share modules between
 async server chunks on Rsbuild

Rsbuild's server default is no chunk splitting, so Rspack copied every
route module the server-fn resolver imports (and their imports) into the
resolver's async chunk next to the router's (+16.6 KB on the full
scenario). The non-RSC server environments now put modules two async
chunks share into one shared chunk; Rspack's default groups stay off.

Subject: [PATCH 1010/1425] refactor(start-plugin-core): one rule for
 self-marked entries on Rsbuild

The Rsbuild session now tells import protection which paths are app
entries (as the Vite host does), so the planner's own-marker rule reports
a marked entry; the host's separate selfMarked bookkeeping and
selfMarkedReport are gone.

Subject: [PATCH 1011/1425] test(e2e): esbuild apps drop autoCodeSplitting

The esbuild plugin refuses route code splitting with a clear error
(DECISIONS: esbuild generator works, autoCodeSplitting refuses, SPEC
J2.18), so the vue-router esbuild app failed to build. The react and
solid configs are unused by their builds (esbuild CLI) but are updated
alike.

Subject: [PATCH 1012/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): gate server functions by
 client reference in development

R44 in development: a server fn is HTTP-callable once the client
environment compiled its defining module. Vite's dev resolver passes the
caller's origin to the lookup; a client-origin lookup of a module the
client has not compiled walks the client module graph on demand from the
client and router entries (each module transformed by the client
environment, outside any transform of the provider), then the registry
decides. Rsbuild's manifest is gated in development as in a build: its
client compiles whole and its replay rewrites the resolver before the dev
middleware answers.

Subject: [PATCH 1014/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): list the server fns a
 handler's client components import in the RSC provider manifest

plugin-rsc builds the provider before the client, and the provider's graph
unfolds from its own manifest; the SSR scan deletes handlers with the
imports only they read, so a 'use client' component a handler renders and
the server-fn modules it imports were seen by no environment before the
client build (#7943). The provider's real build now starts by walking the
raw reach of every registered server-fn module (static and the new
TargetFacts.lazyImports) and compiling the candidate modules in the
provider environment, outside any transform, so the manifest lists them.

+   * lists the server functions the scans registered. The SSR scan compiles
+   * a server-fn module as a caller: its handlers are deleted, with the
+   * imports only they read, so a `'use client'` component a handler renders
+   * (through a server component) and the server-fn modules that component
+   * imports are seen by no environment before the client builds: their
+   * functions were missing from the manifest (J4.2, #7943). Before the
+   * provider's real build, the raw reach of every registered server-fn
+   * module (static and lazy imports, project modules only, what the deleted
+   * handlers read included) is walked, and each module that may define a
+   * server function is compiled in the provider environment, outside any
+   * transform, so the manifest lists its functions; the build then imports
+   * and compiles it in place (the plans are reused).

Subject: [PATCH 1015/1425] chore(e2e): regenerate route trees with the new
 generator

enableRouteTreeFormatting now defaults to false: the e2e builds rewrote
their committed routeTree.gen.ts unformatted (prettier-normalised content
identical), and a pathless layout directly inside a root-level group
gets fullPath '/' (generator J1.13: the types use router-core's
Route.init formulas). Regenerated by the apps' builds, not edited.

+Fixes found by the e2e apps on the new compiler: a route module starting with a comment no longer declares its generated bindings twice when its first import is rewritten; the Rsbuild RSC server build keeps the import of a server function's SSR stub; neighbouring destructured locals that only `<ClientOnly>` children read are removed without a build error; import-protection reports print a code frame again and Rsbuild traces follow scope-hoisted modules; client middleware sees only the server function's id during SSR.

Subject: [PATCH 1018/1425] chore(changeset): generateFunctionId receives the
 server fn's stable key

The new compiler passes the stable key (export/variable name) as
functionName instead of main's generated handler name. SPEC C5/J4.4
leave the value unspecified, but apps keyed on the old
'_createServerFn_handler' names silently fall back to default ids, so
the release notes must say so.

+`serverFns.generateFunctionId` now receives the server function's stable key (its export or variable name, e.g. `greetUser`) as `functionName` instead of the generated handler name (e.g. `greetUser_createServerFn_handler`). Custom generators keyed on the old `_createServerFn_handler`-style names must be updated; otherwise they no longer match and fall back to the default ids.

Subject: [PATCH 1019/1425] test(e2e): import-protection specs follow SPEC
 J6.4/J6.5

Builds decide violations after tree-shaking (SPEC J6.4): compiler-leak's
leakyReference is exported but imported by nobody, so its secret.server
edge is dead in the client build and is not reported. The build variants
of 'compiler leak violation includes line/col' and 'compiler-processed
module has code snippet' now assert that the dead edge is not reported;
the dev variants keep their assertions.

Traces follow the bundler graph from the real entry through framework
package modules (packages/*/dist, node_modules), whose steps may carry no
line (SPEC J6.5 optional fields): the line-number checks skip those steps.

Subject: [PATCH 1020/1425] test(e2e): rsbuild overlay asserts the syntax
 error's file and line
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Start loader no longer reports a parse error itself (the compiler
returns the input untouched with its diagnostic), so SWC reports it with
a code frame. SPEC §5.7 leaves the wording and the channel free but the
file and the position must be shown: the overlay snapshot asserts the
file and the error line instead of the loader's message.

Subject: [PATCH 1021/1425] fix(router-core): route HMR falls back to the first
 importer on Rolldown's MissingFactoryError

Vite bundled dev without lazy compilation (TanStack Start sets
devMode.lazy: false) compiles an HMR patch's import() to
__rolldown_runtime__.initModule(id), which throws MissingFactoryError
synchronously when the split chunk never loaded on the page. The held lazy
wrapper now re-imports through a wrapper that falls back to the importer it
was created with (the initial bundle's import of the real chunk) for that
error only, matching main's behaviour of reusing the original importer.
Dev-only (inside applyRouteHmr's NODE_ENV gate), client-only.

Subject: [PATCH 1022/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): warn once in development
 for a client call of an unreferenced server fn

R44 as rewritten: a client-origin call of a server fn whose defining
module the client environment compiled is answered as before; one no
client module references is answered too, with one warning per function
naming it and saying a production build refuses it. The on-demand client
graph walk is gone (it proved nothing and cost a crawl of the app).
Vite's lookup warns through the plugin context; Rsbuild's dev manifest
carries the warning per unreferenced entry. Production stays the strict
manifest filter. The RSC dev pin asserting a refusal stays pinned.

Subject: [PATCH 1023/1425] perf(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): no pure
 annotation of split placeholders in server output

The /* @__PURE__ */ hint only serves the client's tree shaking; a server
bundle keeps every route. The manifest's unused access parameter keeps
its name (one byte shorter than the lint-style underscore).

Subject: [PATCH 1024/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): import provider modules
 statically in Rsbuild production manifests

An import() of a route module the router's async chunk also holds made
Rspack copy it and its imports into the resolver's chunk; a shared cache
group traded the copy for one more chunk loaded at cold start. Rsbuild
bundles every provider module, so the production manifest imports them
statically: 6 chunks loaded like main, gzip below main. The cache group
of the server environments is dropped (superseded).

Subject: [PATCH 1026/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): wait for the compile
 Rspack still owes an Rsbuild edit

An edit of an Rsbuild watch build or dev server was taken as applied at the
first end of the compiles that read it. Rspack can still owe a compile then:
a file written after a compile began is reported only by the next watcher,
and an environment that depends on another one runs again after the end is
reported. The edit now also waits, once the watchers are attached, until no
compile started and none is pending.

Subject: [PATCH 1027/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): define Rsbuild
 import-protection edge modules 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).

Subject: [PATCH 1028/1425] feat(router-utils): compiler cache stats and cache
 knobs; fix(start): marker-only target fingerprints

- TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1 registers cache-size readers (WeakRef, process-global)
  for the compiler caches, host sessions and the route generator;
  TSR_COMPILER_NO_CACHE=plans|facts|targets|resolutions|all disables a cache
  (measurement knobs, inert otherwise, never in a bundle).
- Import protection's file/marker rule read a target's whole J6 target facts,
  so an importer's plan depended on the target's import list: editing the
  imports of a route module re-planned the route tree and Vite fully reloaded
  every page. A 'target-marker' fingerprint (PolicyContext/PrefetchContext
  targetMarker) records only the marker.

Subject: [PATCH 1030/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): keep import-protection
 trace steps through Rsbuild restored modules

A module Rspack restores from its persistent cache is not compiled, so the
edge index that gives trace steps their specifier and position knew nothing
of it: a warm build's violation traces lost those steps' locations. Each
compiled module's Rspack buildInfo record now carries its indexed edges,
replayed at finishMake for a module the index does not know (replayed by
its canonical resource, the compile's id).

Ports upstream #8798's e2e test (cold vs warm Rsbuild build with
performance.buildCache: no errors, identical warnings).

Subject: [PATCH 1032/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): judge Rsbuild dev modules
 restored from the persistent cache again

A warm rsbuild dev restart restores importers whose import-protection
violations another session judged: the new session neither asked
onViolation nor reported them. In dev, a restored module whose record holds
violations this session has not registered is rebuilt (once per session)
before the finishMake replay.

compiler-test-utils: RsbuildDevServer.restart() starts a new dev server
(new plugin instances) on the same app directory.

+Rsbuild: import protection works with Rspack's persistent cache (`performance.buildCache`). A build or `rsbuild dev` restored from the cache no longer fails with `Can't resolve …/import-protection/…/edge.*.mjs`. It reports the same violations, with the same traces, and a restarted dev server reports the violations of restored modules again.

Subject: [PATCH 1035/1425] fix(router-generator): rewrite a route file's id
 when the config moves its route

A file whose implied route changed (virtual config route() path, physical()
prefix, __virtual.ts subtree) without a content change was skipped by the
stamp/content fast path and kept its old id. File state now records the
route it was analysed for.

Subject: [PATCH 1036/1425] fix(router-utils, start-plugin-core): bound
 compiler bookkeeping by the live plans and files

- DependentsIndex keeps each plan key's buckets (planKey -> paths): publishing,
  discarding and evicting touch the key's rows only (was a scan of every
  bucket per publication, quadratic in the session), publication replaces the
  previous plan's rows (stale rows accumulated on import-target changes), and
  empty buckets are removed.
- PlanCache retires a key's generation and latest revision once it has no
  plan and no attempt in flight (begin/end around each attempt); they were
  kept for every id ever compiled, deleted files included.
- RawFactsCache forgets a deleted file's facts on unlink and never stores a
  missing file's facts (stale entries of deleted files were kept).
- Import protection forgets a deleted importer's edge index rows, violation
  keys and scope-cache entry (Vite and Rsbuild hosts, on unlink).

Found by the compiler soak (500 edit cycles with unique file adds, deletes
and renames) and code review findings 1-2.

Subject: [PATCH 1038/1425] fix(router-generator): report route files used
 twice and routes with one id

- A virtual route config naming one file for two routes (two route()
  entries, two physical() mounts of a directory, a __virtual.ts entry for a
  file the directory scan routes too) is an error naming the file, instead
  of a tree importing the file twice or an ENOENT from two concurrent
  writes.
- Two routes with one id (posts.tsx + posts/route.tsx with a child) are an
  error naming both files, instead of the router's startup invariant.
- AtomicPublisher numbers its temporary files: writes in flight never share
  one.

Subject: [PATCH 1039/1425] perf(router-generator): the generator's own route
 tree write no longer regenerates

A route tree event is a tree change only when the file on disk is no longer
the one published; the watcher echo of every publish rebuilt, printed and
notified the plugins for nothing.

Subject: [PATCH 1041/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): keep router.plugins and the
 route tree code style

- Generator plugins given as router.plugins run next to Start's own (Vite
  and Rsbuild), instead of being replaced by them (#7768).
- Start's route tree footer follows router.quoteStyle and
  router.semicolons (#8437's footer half).

Subject: [PATCH 1042/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild dev honours SPA
 mode and server.compress

- Rsbuild dev defines TSS_SHELL like Vite's dev server: with SPA mode the
  dev server answers the shell instead of rendering routes and running
  their loaders (#8543).
- server.compress is only defaulted to false, no longer forced over the
  app's config (#8544).

+Route generator: a route file whose route the virtual route config moves (a `route()` path, a `physical()` prefix, a `__virtual.ts` entry) gets its new id without a content change; a route file used for two routes and two routes with one id are errors naming the files; concurrent writes no longer share a temporary file; the generator's own route tree write no longer regenerates; clearer warnings for a Route without its options call or with a type-only constructor import. Start: generator plugins given as `router.plugins` run next to Start's (#7768); Start's route tree footer follows `quoteStyle` and `semicolons`; Rsbuild dev answers the SPA shell with `spa.enabled` (#8543) and no longer forces `server.compress: false` over the app's config (#8544).

Subject: [PATCH 1045/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): remove orphaned declarators
 of one statement with one edit (R17)

Two neighbouring function-local declarators orphaned by one erasure
(`const a = 1, b = 2` read only by a removed `createServerOnlyFn` body)
got two overlapping removal ranges and the compile threw "partially
overlaps". The removals of a multi-declarator statement are now computed
per statement from its final kept set, as runs with their separators
(the whole statement with its line when every declarator is gone), so
neighbours never partially overlap and a later round's run encloses the
earlier one. Same for `let a, b` and blocks of the module level.

Subject: [PATCH 1046/1425] fix(router-utils): read env roots in the env module
 from chunks; keep sibling exports on a rename
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Placement (reach.ts): a cluster the env module roots (an exported `Route`)
that a derived output reaches is imported from the env module, so its live
reads are now evaluated in the env module's tree, not the requesting
output's: the splitter replaces `component: Page` in the env output only,
and a loader chunk importing `Route` no longer "needs" `Page` (which went
to a bogus `shared~component+loader` module: one more request per
navigation). A cluster pinned elsewhere reads in its pin; provider outputs
(self-contained copies) keep their own tree.

The `env-declared` fallback (J2.8 R-27) no longer fires for an exported
pure component the route module also reads: the exported pattern is a
value merged with an exported binding it writes; the value being the
export itself is the §3.5.2 import.

Rendering (plan.ts): when a renamed export drops a multi-declarator
statement's `export` keyword (R38), the other exported declarators of the
statement are re-exported by the same glue (`export const a = 1, page =
…` kept `a` exported).

Subject: [PATCH 1047/1425] fix(router-utils): re-validate each environment's
 fingerprints with its own resolver

`invalidate()` checked every environment's resolution fingerprints with
the one host it was given (the Start hosts passed whichever environment's
hook ran first), and `resolveCached` stored that environment's answer in
the other environments' resolution caches: a per-environment alias or
condition (`browser` vs `node`, `react-server`) resolved to the wrong file
until the next add/unlink. `invalidate` takes one host or a host per
environment name; the Vite Start host passes each dev environment's own
resolver, the Rsbuild session each environment's registered resolver.

Subject: [PATCH 1048/1425] perf(router-utils): index sub-region dedupe and
 hoisted-var item lookup

`RegionTable.register` scanned every region to deduplicate a
registration and `buildUnits` searched every top-level item per hoisted
`var` declaration (quadratic in large route modules); a range+kind map
and a binary search over the source-ordered items replace them.

Subject: [PATCH 1049/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): keep a nested server fn's
 chain in the env module of a separate provider (R50)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

With a derived provider module (Vite RSC `rsc` env), a nested site
(`export default createServerFn()…`, an object property, a class field)
was hoisted into the provider output and the env module imported the
hoisted binding from `?tss-serverfn-split`, so the rsc env evaluated the
provider module (and everything its handlers import) and called the
handler in-process, unlike its top-level siblings. The env module now
keeps the chain in place with its `createSsrRpc(id)` stub (an edit on
exactly the claimed region overrides the placeholder there).

Subject: [PATCH 1050/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Hydrate planner edge cases
 (recursive component, tag comments, Solid setters, refresh markers)

- A recursive component rendering itself inside its own boundary moved
  into the chunk with the lazy const only it reads, next to the chunk
  component of the same name (a SyntaxError). The lazy const gets a
  distinct name when the children reach the unexported declaration
  holding the boundary (a bounded walk over module-level declarations).
- The inserted `h`/`p` attributes go right after the last attribute or
  the tag name, never inside a comment written before `>`.
- Solid: a capture that a `ref={x}` or a reassignment writes is passed
  through a getter-inducing expression (`(() => x)()`), so the chunk reads
  its current value instead of the value at render.
- React development with route HMR: the chunk component carries the
  `$$tsrRefreshId` marker (R41), as split component chunks do, so an
  update of a boundary's chunk is kept by React Refresh, not swapped
  (`refreshMarkers` in the planner config, set by both hosts).

Subject: [PATCH 1051/1425] fix(router-plugin): no refresh marker on an
 imported component
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The dev refresh marker (`page.$$tsrRefreshId = …`) was written onto the
export of another module when a split option named an imported binding
(or a member of one): a frozen component threw "object is not
extensible". React Refresh registers a component where it is declared;
the marker is only written on this module's own declarations.

Subject: [PATCH 1052/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild host reporting and
 hook details

- dev `log: 'always'`: a compile the plan cache answered reported its
  violations twice and asked `onViolation` again (`afterCompile` already
  reports every compile; the extra `reportAgain` is gone).
- `needAdditionalPass` is a bail hook: answering `false` silenced later
  taps asking for a pass; the tap now answers `undefined` when it has no
  vote.
- the warning ledger resets on `watchRun` too, so a module a dev
  compilation rebuilds reports its compiler warnings again.
- modules kept across a compilation report again under their canonical
  resource (the RSC proxy query is dropped), the identity their edges
  were registered under.

Subject: [PATCH 1054/1425] fix(router-utils): record the names a require()
 edge reads

A `require()` edge carried no names, so import protection's mock of a
denied CommonJS or unknown target exported `default` only and
`const { secret } = require('./x.server')` read `undefined` instead of
the safe mock. The analysis records the keys the importer destructures,
the static member reads of the binding holding the result or of the call,
and `'*'` when the result escapes (`[]` for `import()`); the edge records
of both tiers carry them.

Subject: [PATCH 1055/1425] fix(router-plugin): keep a route callback that
 reads `this` in the route module (#8688)

The router calls a method or function-expression callback as a method of
the options object; a split chunk's `lazyFn` wrapper calls the chunk's
export detached, changing its `this`. Such a callback stays in the route
module with a `not-split:this-reference` warning naming the file (J2.8:
informed, never broken); `this` of nested functions and classes, and arrow
functions (the module's `this` wherever they evaluate), split as before.
Also enables route HMR in the frozen-import regression test, where the
development marker is written.

Subject: [PATCH 1057/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): dev servers may answer
 any server fn by id

In dev, an HTTP call by id may run any server function: dev compiles
lazily, so it cannot know what the client references, and a page left
open across a restart must keep working (J4.4). The refusal of server
fns no client code references applies to production builds only.

SPEC J4.2 and G13 say so; the Vite dev RSC pin that asserted the
refusal (and its now unused page helper) is removed, and KNOWN-BUGS
lists the production pin only.

Subject: [PATCH 1058/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): refuse client calls of
 server-only fns in production builds with a separate provider (R44)

With RSC the provider environment builds before the client (plugin-rsc:
rsc, client, ssr; Rsbuild: interleaved by the RSC coordinator), so its
manifest was generated before the client's references were known and
every registered server function was HTTP-callable in production (J4.2).
The manifest must still list every function: server-origin calls (the
SSR RPC stubs, a handler calling another function) resolve through it. The
gate is therefore by call origin, decided where the client build's
references are known:

- Vite: the caller (ssr) environment builds last; its resolver module is
  now a gate over the set of client-referenced ids in front of its own
  forward to the provider (served by a second virtual module).
- Rsbuild: the manifest carries a placeholder literal for the set, which
  the server asset pass that already fills the Start manifest (after the
  client build exists) replaces with the client-referenced ids.
- Rsbuild RSC also never listed a function reached only through a provider
  module (the resolver's rebuild is what builds those modules, after the
  manifest was generated): the resolver is now regenerated and rebuilt
  while its content changes, bounded.

Tests: react-start-rsc `rsc-start-build` and `rsc-start-rsbuild-build` "a
server function only server code calls is not callable from the browser"
(the real request envelope sent to the private function's URL is refused,
to the exposed one answered; the handler's own call of it works).

Subject: [PATCH 1059/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild dev `log: 'always'`
 prints a repeated plan's violations once

The compile that registers a plan's violations prints them; a compile the
plan cache answered again (an importer Rspack rebuilt for a dependency's
edit) still asks `onViolation`, as every compile does under `always`, but
no longer prints them a second time. The warning ledger keeps its
once-per-run contract (the oracle pins "warns once per file" across dev
rebuilds), so the `watchRun` reset is dropped.

Subject: [PATCH 1061/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild dev keeps compiler
 state of the compilation's files only

Rspack reports a deleted file only while a module depends on it, so a module
the app stopped importing and then deleted got no unlink: its plans, raw
facts, import-protection records and per-resource fingerprints stayed for the
session (soak: plans +20, fingerprints +100 per 100 cycles). After each dev
compilation the session retains what the environment's fileDependencies
still contain (RawFactsCache.retain, ImportProtection.retain).

Subject: [PATCH 1063/1425] fix(router-utils): no known package among a
 compile's dependency paths

A known package resolves to its own specifier (D4), and dependencyPaths
turned it into a file for the host's addDependency: Rspack watched
'@tanstack/react-start' as a missing path, reported it removed, and
rebuilt every environment once after the first watch-mode build.

Subject: [PATCH 1064/1425] test(compiler-test-utils): settle an Rsbuild edit
 only once Rspack handed its compiles on

Rspack's MultiCompiler runs a compiler again when a dependency was
invalidated while it compiled (running-outdated), from nodeDone on the
next tick after its done hooks; the MultiCompiler's done (onAfterBuild)
fires before that. The tracker settled the edit and closed the watcher
in between, so the SSR bundle kept pre-edit code (start-compiler-build-
inputs 'rsbuild build --watch > an edit of an aliased env-only
factory...'). A compiler now counts as compiling until a macrotask after
its afterDone, by which a re-run has announced itself (invalid).

 compiler rewrite

Replace the 15 lane changesets with six: compiler core (router-utils),
route generator, router plugin, route HMR runtime (framework routers),
Start, and React Start RSC. Adds what lanes C2/C3a left out: dev-only
/hmr subpaths, production HTTP gating of server-only server fns with
the dev warning, #8688 and #7943.

+Add the compiler core shared by the router plugin and TanStack Start, built on Yuku (`@tanstack/router-utils/compiler`): one parse and one plan per module and environment, with every output (the module, its split chunks, Hydrate chunks, server function providers) emitted from the original source with exact source maps.
+
+Removed the Babel helpers (`parseAst`, `generateFromAst`, `deadCodeElimination`, `findReferencedIdentifiers`, `stripTypeExports` and the binding helpers of `compiler-helpers`) and the `@babel/*` and `babel-dead-code-elimination` dependencies.

+Start's Vite and Rsbuild plugins run on the new compiler core instead of Babel: each module compiles once per environment, with server functions, environment separation, `<Hydrate>`, RSC CSS, route code splitting and HMR, and import protection in one pass. Builds and dev startup are 2–4× faster on a 340-route benchmark app.
+
+**Server functions**
+
+- **Production builds answer HTTP calls only for server functions that client code imports.** A function only server code calls (another server function, a server route), or one returned to the client as data, is refused when called over HTTP. The dev server still answers such a call and warns once per function.
+- `serverFns.generateFunctionId` receives the server function's stable key (its export or variable name, e.g. `greetUser`) as `functionName`, instead of the generated handler name (`greetUser_createServerFn_handler`). Custom generators keyed on the old names must be updated.
+- Default production ids are shorter (22 characters).
+- Server functions are recognised by binding through re-exports, namespaces, aliases, user factories and stored builders, whatever the code formatting (#7280). With SSR as the provider the handler stays in its module (one instance) and server-side callers call it directly (#7213, #8731). `createServerOnlyFn(...)` passed to `.handler()` works (#8446). Nested server functions are hoisted on the server when safe.
+- Client middleware sees only the server function's id during SSR, as in the browser.
+- Vite `bundledDev`: lazy dependencies load, edits no longer crash the hot update, and SSR reflects edits (#8407, #8062, #7535).
+
+**Import protection**
+
+- A denied import is replaced by a mock module of its own that exports the target's names. Build violations are decided after tree-shaking; when `onViolation` returns `false` the import gets the real module and the build reruns until no new import is allowed.
+- Exempt importers (`ignoreImporters`, `exclude`, `include`) get the real module; dependencies that mark themselves server-only follow `excludeFiles`; `.vue` and `.mdx` importers are checked on their compiled output; a client entry marked server-only fails the build.
+- Reports show the import in the original source with a code frame, and traces follow the bundler graph. In dev, a denied import added by an edit is reported.
+- Rsbuild: works with Rspack's persistent cache (`performance.buildCache`).
+
+**Rsbuild**
+
+- Server-only routes are pruned from the client route tree (#8545); the client manifest lists only the chunks a route loads (#8780).
+- Dev answers the SPA shell with `spa.enabled` (#8543) and no longer forces `server.compress: false` (#8544).
+- The server environment shares async chunks instead of duplicating the route modules the server function resolver imports.
+
+**Other**
+
+- Generator plugins given as `router.plugins` run next to Start's (#7768); Start's route tree footer follows `quoteStyle` and `semicolons`.
+- Solid Start server environments split route components like the client, so hydration keys agree.

-Start's Vite plugin compiles each module once per environment on the Yuku-based compiler core: route code splitting and route HMR, `<Hydrate>` extraction, the environment separation and import protection run in one pass, serving the split, Hydrate and server-function modules from the same plan. Import protection on Vite follows the new per-edge model: a denied import is substituted by a per-edge module whose mock exports the target's names (following `export *`), build violations are decided after tree-shaking with a fixed-point rebuild when `onViolation` allows an edge, exempt importers (`ignoreImporters`, `exclude`, `include`) and `onViolation` returning `false` get the real module, dependencies that mark themselves server-only follow `excludeFiles`, non-JS importers (`.mdx`, `.vue`) are judged on their compiled output, reports locate the import in the original source (also with vite-tsconfig-paths and lone-CR line endings), and the trace follows the bundler graph through modules outside the source directory. A server-only-marked client entry fails the build. Solid Start server environments split route components like the client so hydration keys agree. Hydrate chunks export their component as `H<n>` with ordinal boundary ids, as before the rewrite.

 The automatic code splitting feature in TanStack Router allows you to optimize your application's bundle size by lazily loading route components and their associated data.

+#### Route callbacks that read `this` are not split

+A route option written as a method or a function expression whose body reads `this` stays in the route file, and the build warns once, naming the file. Write such callbacks as arrow functions (or without `this`) to have them split.
+
+#### Route CSS loads with the split components
+
+A style import in a route file (`import './posts.css'`) moves into the route's split component chunks only when every component option the route defines (`component`, `errorComponent`, `pendingComponent`, `notFoundComponent`) is split. Otherwise it stays in the route file and loads with it, because the compiler cannot tell which component needs it.

 **That's it!** There are no other restrictions. You can use any other JavaScript or TypeScript features in your route files as you normally would. If you run into any issues, please [open an issue](https://github.com/tanstack/router/issues) on GitHub.

 - Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object. Which bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
 - Every option configured for splitting must end up split. When a pattern the user can change prevents it, the option keeps working in the entry and the build warns once, naming the file. When the limitation is ours, it is a bug to fix, not a warning.
-- `handleRouteUpdate` is stringified and injected into app modules. Keep runtime dependencies inside the function or explicitly emit them; extracting a helper to plugin module scope breaks the generated function.
-- Route HMR rebuilds indexes, clears `resolvePathCache`, replaces lazy-chunk ownership, and refreshes active routes while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep these steps coordinated when adding derived state.
+- Splitting and route HMR are planners on the shared compiler core: read [ARCHITECTURE-CODE-SPLITTING.md](ARCHITECTURE-CODE-SPLITTING.md) and the [core README](../router-utils/src/compiler/README.md). Planners only declare roots and edits; placement, dead-code removal and emission belong to the core.
+- Generated route HMR code stays minimal: it calls the framework's `__tsrRouteHmr` from the dev-only `/hmr` subpath (`router-core/src/hmr.ts`), which updates the live route in place (only the route its module exported), replaces lazy-chunk ownership, rebuilds the route tree and refreshes active matches while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep that bookkeeping in the runtime, not in emitted code, and keep it out of production bundles.
 - Tests run in two tiers. `test:unit` (fast tier, the inner loop) runs `tests/**` in process; a Vite dev server in middleware mode is allowed. `test:integration` (slow tier) runs `tests/integration/**`: every test that starts a real build (`build`, `buildAndRun`), an Rsbuild dev server or watch compiler, a child Node process or a browser page (`openRouteHmrPage`). Put such tests under `tests/integration/`; a file with tests of both kinds is split by test into files of the same name in both directories. Run both tiers before handing back.
 - Test code-splitting changes by behaviour: load the route with `loadRoute` from `tests/route-app.ts` (a real Vite dev server with the public plugins; the route runs in a real browser page), and assert what users see (rendered output, loader results, init counts). Outcomes the bundler decides (dead code, chunk contents, `sideEffects` / `@__PURE__` hints) are asserted in a real build with `build` from `tests/build-harness.ts`, per bundler. Do not add output snapshots.
 - Run behavioural tests for React, Solid and Vue through the `targetFramework` option of the test helpers.

-## Overview
-
-TanStack Router's automatic code-splitting transforms a single route file into
-multiple modules at build time so that heavy route properties (components,
-loaders) are loaded on demand rather than eagerly.
-
-Given a route file like:
-
-```tsx
-// src/routes/about.tsx
-import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'
-
-export const Route = createFileRoute('/about')({
-  loader: () => fetchAboutData(),
-  component: () => <div>About page</div>,
-})
-```
-
-The plugin produces up to three modules from the **same physical file**:
-
-| Module                                    | What it contains                                                                                                                                                                                       |
-| ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| `about.tsx` (reference)                   | Route config with `component` replaced by `lazyRouteComponent($$splitComponentImporter, 'component')` and an injected `const $$splitComponentImporter = () => import('about.tsx?tsr-split=component')` |
-| `about.tsx?tsr-split=component` (virtual) | Only the component function, exported as `component`                                                                                                                                                   |
-| `about.tsx?tsr-shared=1` (shared)         | Optional; created only when bindings are shared between split and non-split properties                                                                                                                 |
-
-The bundler (Vite, Webpack, Rspack) treats query-parameterized imports as
-distinct modules, so `about.tsx` and `about.tsx?tsr-split=component` are
-separate entries in the module graph — each transformed differently by the
-corresponding plugin.
-
-### Why This Exists
-
-Without code-splitting, every route's component tree ships in the initial
-bundle. For large applications with dozens of routes, this means megabytes
-of JavaScript the user downloads but never executes until they navigate to
-that specific route. Automatic code-splitting solves this by:
-
-1. Replacing component/loader values with lazy wrappers (dynamic `import()`)
-2. Stripping the original implementations via dead-code elimination
-3. Producing separate modules (typically separate chunks) the bundler can load on demand

-## Plugin Pipeline
-
-`unpluginRouterCodeSplitterFactory` (in `router-code-splitter-plugin.ts`)
-returns an **array of 3 plugins** that share a closure containing:
-
-- `sharedBindingsMap: Map<string, Set<string>>` — maps normalized file paths
-  to their computed shared binding names
-- `userConfig` — resolved plugin configuration
-- Helper functions for grouping resolution
-
-### Plugin 1: `tanstack-router:code-splitter:compile-reference-file`
-
-**Filter:** File IDs matching `/\.(m|c)?(j|t)sx?$/` whose code contains one of
-`createFileRoute(`, `createRootRoute(`, or `createRootRouteWithContext(`.
-Excludes file IDs that include `tsr-split` or `tsr-shared`.
-
-**What it does:**
-
-1. Detects per-route `codeSplitGroupings` if specified inline
-2. Calls `computeSharedBindings()` and caches the result in `sharedBindingsMap`
-3. Calls `compileCodeSplitReferenceRoute()` which:
-   - Replaces split properties with `lazyRouteComponent()` / `lazyFn()` wrappers
-   - Injects `import()` expressions pointing to `?tsr-split=<encoded>` URLs
-   - Removes shared binding declarations, replacing them with
-     `import { ... } from '...?tsr-shared=1'`
-   - Re-exports any user-exported shared bindings via
-     `export { ... } from '...?tsr-shared=1'`
-   - Runs dead-code elimination
-   - Optionally appends HMR handling code (dev mode)
-
-**Vite hooks:**
-
-- `configResolved`: Validates plugin ordering (router must come before JSX
-  transformation plugins like `@vitejs/plugin-react`)
-- `applyToEnvironment`: Scopes the plugin to a specific Vite environment when
-  `plugin.vite.environmentName` is configured (needed for TanStack Start which
-  creates separate client/SSR plugin instances)
-
-### Plugin 2: `tanstack-router:code-splitter:compile-virtual-file`
-
-**Filter:** File IDs containing `tsr-split`.
-
-**What it does:**
-
-1. Extracts the grouping from the `?tsr-split=<encoded>` query parameter
-2. Decodes it via `decodeIdentifier()` to get the list of properties this
-   virtual file should export (e.g., `['component']`)
-3. Reads shared bindings from `sharedBindingsMap` for the base file
-4. Calls `compileCodeSplitVirtualRoute()` which:
-   - Removes shared binding declarations before traversal (prevents scope
-     collision crashes)
-   - Keeps only the intended split properties as named exports
-   - Converts user-exported declarations to imports from the base file
-   - Adds `import { ... } from '...?tsr-shared=1'` if shared bindings exist
-   - Runs dead-code elimination
-   - Strips orphaned expression statements
-
-**Vite hooks:**
-
-- `applyToEnvironment`: Same environment scoping behavior as the reference
-  plugin.
-
-### Plugin 3: `tanstack-router:code-splitter:compile-shared-file`
-
-**Filter:** File IDs containing `tsr-shared`.
-
-**What it does:**
-
-1. Extracts the base file path from the ID
-2. Looks up shared bindings from `sharedBindingsMap`
-3. Calls `compileCodeSplitSharedRoute()` which:
-   - Keeps only declarations of shared bindings and their transitive
-     dependencies
-   - Strips `export` wrappers from kept declarations
-   - Adds a single `export { ... }` statement for all shared bindings
-   - Runs dead-code elimination to remove unused imports
-
-**Vite hooks:**
-
-- `applyToEnvironment`: Same environment scoping behavior as the reference
-  plugin.

-
-## Virtual File Mechanism
-
-The system does **not** create actual virtual files. Instead, it leverages
-the fact that bundlers (Vite, Webpack, Rspack) treat the same physical file
-with different query parameters as distinct module IDs:
-
-```
-src/routes/about.tsx                        → Module A (reference)
-src/routes/about.tsx?tsr-split=component    → Module B (virtual/split)
-src/routes/about.tsx?tsr-shared=1           → Module C (shared)
-```
-
-All three modules start from the **same source code** — the bundler reads the
-physical file each time. Each plugin's `transform` filter matches on different
-query parameters, so each module gets a different transformation applied.
-
-### Path ID Encoding
-
-The `?tsr-split` query parameter value is an encoded representation of the
-split grouping. The encoding (in `path-ids.ts`) works as follows:
-
-1. Sort the property names alphabetically (grouping order is not preserved)
-2. Join with `---` delimiter
-3. Replace unsafe URL characters with safe tokens:
-   - `/` → `--slash--`
-   - `?` → `--question--`
-   - `#` → `--hash--`
-   - etc.
-
-For example, a grouping of `['component']` becomes `?tsr-split=component`.
-A combined grouping of `['component', 'errorComponent']` becomes
-`?tsr-split=component---errorComponent`.
-
-The decoding is the inverse: `decodeIdentifier()` reverses the token
-replacements and splits on `---`.
-
-Note: this encoding is not a general-purpose reversible scheme (it maps spaces
-to `_` and decodes `_` back to spaces). It's safe here because split grouping
-strings are known route option keys like `component` and `loader`.
-
-### Resolution Flow
-
-When the reference compiler emits:
-
-```js
-const $$splitComponentImporter = () => import('about.tsx?tsr-split=component')
-```
-
-The bundler:
-
-1. Resolves `about.tsx?tsr-split=component` to the physical file `about.tsx`
-   with the query parameter preserved
-2. Reads the source of `about.tsx`
-3. Runs the transform pipeline — Plugin 2 matches (`tsr-split` in ID) and
-   transforms it into a module that exports only `component`
-4. The result is a separate module in the output graph (often a separate chunk, depending on bundler chunking)

-## Shared Bindings System
-
-### The Problem
-
-Consider a route file with a module-level variable used by both the `loader`
-(non-split by default) and the `component` (split by default):
-
-```tsx
-const cache = new Map()
-function getCached(key: string) {
-  return cache.get(key)
-}
-function setCached(key: string, val: unknown) {
-  cache.set(key, val)
-}
-
-export const Route = createFileRoute('/cached')({
-  loader: async () => {
-    setCached('data', await fetch('/api').then((r) => r.json()))
-    return getCached('data')
-  },
-  component: () => <div>{JSON.stringify(getCached('data'))}</div>,
-})
-```
-
-Without the shared bindings system, `cache` and `getCached` would be
-**duplicated** — one copy in the reference module (used by `loader`) and another
-in the split component module. Each would have its own `Map` instance, so
-`setCached` in the loader would write to a different map than `getCached` in
-the component reads from. This is a **correctness bug**, not just a bundle
-size issue.
-
-### The Solution
-
-`computeSharedBindings()` identifies bindings that are referenced by properties
-in 2+ distinct "groups" (where each split grouping index is one group, and all
-non-split properties form group `-1`). These bindings are extracted into a
-third virtual module (`?tsr-shared=1`) that both the reference module and the
-split modules import from, ensuring a single shared instance.
-
-### How `computeSharedBindings()` Works
-
-**Location:** `src/core/code-splitter/compilers.ts` (`computeSharedBindings`)
-
-**Algorithm:**
-
-1. **Collect local bindings** — Cheap loop over `program.body` to find all
-   module-level `const`/`let`/`var`/`function`/`class` declarations. Deletes
-   `Route` from the set (must never be extracted). If no local bindings
-   remain, returns empty set immediately (fast path).
-
-2. **Find route options** — Uses `babel.traverse` to locate the
-   `createFileRoute('/')({ ... })` call and extract the options object.
-
-3. **Fast path: group count check** — Iterates over route option properties,
-   tracking whether any non-split properties exist, and counting distinct
-   split group indices.
-   - If there are no non-split properties and fewer than 2 split groups are
-     present, nothing can be shared and it returns an empty set.
-
-4. **Build dependency graph** — `buildDependencyGraph()` creates a map from
-   each local binding to the set of other local bindings it references. Uses
-   `collectIdentifiersFromNode()` (a fast recursive walker, much cheaper than
-   `babel.traverse`) for each declaration.
-
-5. **Attribute bindings to groups** — For each route option property:
-   - Collects direct module-level references from the property value
-   - Expands transitively via the dependency graph (BFS)
-   - Records which group index each binding belongs to
-
-6. **Identify shared bindings** — Any binding appearing in 2+ distinct groups
-   is shared.
-
-7. **Handle destructured declarators** — If bindings from the same
-   `const { a, b } = fn()` appear in different groups, the entire declarator
-   must be shared (can't split the initialization).
-
-8. **Expand destructured declarations** — If any binding in a destructured
-   pattern is shared, all bindings in that pattern must be shared.
-
-9. **Remove Route-dependent bindings** — `removeBindingsDependingOnRoute()`
-   builds a reverse dependency graph, walks backwards from `Route` via BFS,
-   and removes any shared binding that transitively depends on `Route`. This
-   prevents Route duplication in the shared module.
-
-### Concrete Example
-
-**Input** (`shared-function.tsx`):
-
-```tsx
-import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'
-
-const cache = new Map()
-function getCached(key: string) {
-  return cache.get(key)
-}
-function setCached(key: string, val: unknown) {
-  cache.set(key, val)
-}
-
-export const Route = createFileRoute('/cached')({
-  loader: async () => {
-    setCached('data', await fetch('/api').then((r) => r.json()))
-    return getCached('data')
-  },
-  component: () => <div>{JSON.stringify(getCached('data'))}</div>,
-})
-```
-
-**Analysis:**
-
-- `loader` is non-split (group `-1`), references: `setCached`, `getCached`
-- `component` is split (group `0`), references: `getCached`
-- `getCached` appears in groups `-1` and `0` → **shared**
-- `getCached` depends on `cache` → `cache` is transitively shared
-- `setCached` appears only in group `-1` → **not shared**
-
-**Output — Reference file** (`shared-function.tsx`):
-
-```tsx
-import { getCached, cache } from 'shared-function.tsx?tsr-shared=1'
-const $$splitComponentImporter = () =>
-  import('shared-function.tsx?tsr-split=component')
-import { lazyRouteComponent } from '@tanstack/react-router'
-import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'
-function setCached(key: string, val: unknown) {
-  cache.set(key, val)
-}
-export const Route = createFileRoute('/cached')({
-  loader: async () => {
-    setCached('data', await fetch('/api').then((r) => r.json()))
-    return getCached('data')
-  },
-  component: lazyRouteComponent($$splitComponentImporter, 'component'),
-})
-```
-
-**Output — Split module** (`shared-function.tsx?tsr-split=component`):
-
-```tsx
-import { getCached } from 'shared-function.tsx?tsr-shared=1'
-const SplitComponent = () => <div>{JSON.stringify(getCached('data'))}</div>
-export { SplitComponent as component }
-```
-
-**Output — Shared module** (`shared-function.tsx?tsr-shared=1`):
-
-```tsx
-const cache = new Map()
-function getCached(key: string) {
-  return cache.get(key)
-}
-export { cache, getCached }
-```
-
-Note how `setCached` is **not** in the shared module — it's only used by
-`loader` (non-split), so it stays in the reference file. The reference file
-imports `cache` (needed by `setCached`) from the shared module.
-
-### Cross-Plugin Communication
-
-The three plugins share a closure containing `sharedBindingsMap`:
-
-```
-Plugin 1 (reference): computeSharedBindings() → sharedBindingsMap.set(id, bindings)
-Plugin 2 (virtual):   sharedBindingsMap.get(baseId) → pass to compileCodeSplitVirtualRoute()
-Plugin 3 (shared):    sharedBindingsMap.get(baseId) → pass to compileCodeSplitSharedRoute()
-```
-
-This works because all three plugins run in the same JavaScript process and
-the map is captured by closure. In typical builds, the reference module is
-transformed first and then the bundler resolves the emitted dynamic imports,
-which triggers transformations for the virtual/shared module IDs.

-
-## Code Split Groupings
-
-### Default Groupings
-
-Defined in `constants.ts`:
-
-```ts
-export const defaultCodeSplitGroupings: CodeSplitGroupings = [
-  ['component'], // group 0 → separate module ID (often a separate chunk)
-  ['errorComponent'], // group 1 → separate module ID (often a separate chunk)
-  ['notFoundComponent'], // group 2 → separate module ID (often a separate chunk)
-]
-```
-
-**Important:** `loader` is **not** split by default. It stays in the reference
-file alongside non-split properties like `beforeLoad`, `validateSearch`,
-`context`, etc.
-
-### Splittable Properties
-
-Only these 5 properties can be split (defined in `splitRouteIdentNodes`):
-
-- `loader`
-- `component`
-- `pendingComponent`
-- `errorComponent`
-- `notFoundComponent`
-
-Any property not in `splitRouteIdentNodes` is never split, regardless of
-configuration.
-
-### How Groupings Work
-
-Each array within the groupings array represents one split module ID.
-Properties in the same inner array end up in the same split module:
-
-```ts
-// Default: 3 separate split module IDs (often 3 separate chunks)
-;[['component'], ['errorComponent'], ['notFoundComponent']][
-  // Combined: component + loader in one module, error in another
-  (['component', 'loader'], ['errorComponent'])
-][
-  // All in one module
-  ['component', 'loader', 'errorComponent', 'notFoundComponent']
-]
-```
-
-### Configuring Groupings
-
-There are three levels of configuration, applied with this priority:
-
-1. **Per-route inline** (highest priority):
-
-   ```tsx
-   export const Route = createFileRoute('/about')({
-     codeSplitGroupings: [['component', 'loader']],
-     component: ...,
-     loader: ...,
-   })
-   ```
-
-2. **Per-route via plugin** (`splitBehavior` callback):
-
-   ```ts
-   tanstackRouter({
-     codeSplittingOptions: {
-       splitBehavior: ({ routeId }) => {
-         if (routeId === '/dashboard') return [['component', 'loader']]
-         return undefined // use default
-       },
-     },
-   })
-   ```
-
-3. **Global default** (`defaultBehavior`):
-   ```ts
-   tanstackRouter({
-     codeSplittingOptions: {
-       defaultBehavior: [['component', 'loader'], ['errorComponent']],
-     },
-   })
-   ```
-
-### `findIndexForSplitNode()`
-
-This function determines which group a property belongs to:
-
-```ts
-function findIndexForSplitNode(str: string) {
-  return opts.codeSplitGroupings.findIndex((group) =>
-    group.includes(str as any),
-  )
-}
-```
-
-Returns the group index (`0`, `1`, `2`, ...) for split properties, or `-1`
-for properties not in any group (non-split properties like `beforeLoad`,
-`validateSearch`, `context`, etc.).
-
-The group index `-1` is treated as its own group in the shared bindings
-computation — it represents "stays in the reference file."
-

-
-## Compiler Functions Reference
-
-All compiler functions live in `compilers.ts`.
-
-### `compileCodeSplitReferenceRoute()`
-
-**Purpose:** Transform the original route file into the "reference" module.
-
-**Input:** Original source code, split groupings, framework target, options.
-
-**Output:** Modified source where split properties are replaced with lazy
-wrappers, shared bindings are replaced with imports, and dead code is
-eliminated.
-
-**Key steps:**
-
-1. Parse AST, collect `findReferencedIdentifiers()` for DCE
-2. For each split-able property in route options:
-   - Check if the value is exported (if so, skip splitting — warn user)
-   - Generate a dynamic import URL: `addSplitSearchParamToFilename()`
-   - Create importer: `const $$splitComponentImporter = () => import('...')`
-   - Replace property value with `lazyRouteComponent(importer, 'component')`
-     or `lazyFn(importer, 'loader')`
-3. Remove unused import paths
-4. If shared bindings exist:
-   - Remove shared declarations from AST
-   - Add `import { ... } from '...?tsr-shared=1'`
-   - Re-export user-exported shared bindings
-5. Run `deadCodeElimination()`
-6. Generate output code with source maps
-
-### `compileCodeSplitVirtualRoute()`
-
-**Purpose:** Transform a copy of the route file into a split module that
-exports only specific properties.
-
-**Input:** Original source code, split targets (e.g., `['component']`),
-shared bindings set.
-
-**Output:** A module that exports only the intended properties.
-
-**Key steps:**
-
-1. Parse AST, collect referenced identifiers
-2. **Remove shared declarations first** (before `babel.traverse`) — critical
-   to avoid `checkBlockScopedCollisions` crashes
-3. Track split-able nodes and their metadata
-4. For each intended split target:
-   - Resolve the property value through bindings
-   - Create a named export (e.g., `export { SplitComponent as component }`)
-5. Convert remaining user exports to imports from the base file
-6. Add shared bindings import if applicable
-7. Run `deadCodeElimination()`
-8. Strip orphaned expression statements
-9. Generate output with source maps
-
-### `compileCodeSplitSharedRoute()`
-
-**Purpose:** Produce the shared virtual module containing only the shared
-binding declarations.
-
-**Input:** Original source code, set of shared binding names.
-
-**Output:** A module that declares and exports only shared bindings and their
-transitive dependencies.
-
-**Key steps:**
-
-1. Parse AST, collect referenced identifiers
-2. Build dependency graph, expand shared bindings transitively
-3. Filter `program.body` to keep only:
-   - Import declarations (DCE removes unused ones)
-   - Declarations of bindings in the keep set
-4. Strip `export` wrappers from kept declarations
-5. Add `export { ... }` for all shared bindings
-6. Run `deadCodeElimination()`
-7. Generate output with source maps
-
-### `computeSharedBindings()`
-
-**Purpose:** Analyze a route file to determine which module-level bindings
-are referenced by multiple split groups.
-
-See [Shared Bindings System](#shared-bindings-system) for the full algorithm.
-
-### `detectCodeSplitGroupingsFromRoute()`
-
-**Purpose:** Parse inline `codeSplitGroupings` from route options.
-
-Traverses the AST looking for a `codeSplitGroupings` property on the route
-options object (supports both `createFileRoute` and `createRoute` call sites).
-If found, extracts the array-of-arrays value and returns it.
-

-## Dead Code Elimination
-
-After each compiler transforms the AST, it runs `deadCodeElimination()` from
-`@tanstack/router-utils`. This is critical because:
-
-- The reference file no longer uses the component implementation (it was
-  replaced with a lazy wrapper), so the original component code and its
-  dependencies should be stripped.
-- The virtual file only exports specific properties, so everything else
-  (loader, beforeLoad, other components) should be stripped.
-- The shared file only keeps shared bindings, so everything else should be
-  stripped.
-
-### How It Works
-
-1. **`findReferencedIdentifiers(ast)`** — Collects all `Identifier` NodePaths
-   in the AST that are in a "referenced" position (not binding sites). Returns
-   a `Set<NodePath>`.
-
-2. **`deadCodeElimination(ast, refIdents)`** — Iterates over all bindings in
-   the program scope. For each binding, checks whether any of its references
-   are in `refIdents`. If not, the binding is unreferenced and its declaration
-   is removed. Repeats until no more bindings can be removed (handles chains
-   where removing one binding makes another unreferenced).
-
-### Import Registration for DCE
-
-When the compilers add new imports (for shared bindings, or convert exports
-to imports in virtual files), they must register the import specifier locals
-in `refIdents` so DCE can later decide whether to keep or remove them:
-
-```ts
-sharedImportPath.traverse({
-  Identifier(identPath) {
-    if (identPath.parentPath.isImportSpecifier() && identPath.key === 'local') {
-      refIdents.add(identPath)
-    }
-  },
-})
-```
-
-Without this, DCE would have no path references for the new imports and would
-always remove them.
-
-### Post-DCE Cleanup in Virtual Files
-
-DCE only removes unused **declarations**. Bare side-effect statements like
-`console.log(...)` survive even when no locally-bound names reference them.
-The virtual compiler has an additional cleanup pass:
-
-```ts
-ast.program.body = ast.program.body.filter((stmt) => {
-  if (!t.isExpressionStatement(stmt)) return true
-  const refs = collectIdentifiersFromNode(stmt)
-  return [...refs].some((name) => locallyBound.has(name))
-})
-```
-
-This strips expression statements that don't reference any locally-bound name.
-
-### Directive Prologue Handling
-
-If the file body is empty after DCE (virtual file where no properties matched),
-directive prologues (`'use client'`, `'use strict'`) are also stripped:
-
-```ts
-if (ast.program.body.length === 0) {
-  ast.program.directives = []
-}
-```
-
----
-
-## Framework Support
-
-The code-splitting system is framework-agnostic at the Babel transform level.
-Framework differences are confined to `framework-options.ts`:
-
-| Framework | Package                  | `createFileRoute` | `lazyFn` | `lazyRouteComponent` |
-| --------- | ------------------------ | ----------------- | -------- | -------------------- |
-| React     | `@tanstack/react-router` | `createFileRoute` | `lazyFn` | `lazyRouteComponent` |
-| Solid     | `@tanstack/solid-router` | `createFileRoute` | `lazyFn` | `lazyRouteComponent` |
-| Vue       | `@tanstack/vue-router`   | `createFileRoute` | `lazyFn` | `lazyRouteComponent` |
-
-Currently all frameworks use the same identifier names. The framework option
-is used to determine which package to import `lazyRouteComponent` and `lazyFn`
-from.
-
-### Plugin Order Validation (Vite only)
-
-The reference plugin's `configResolved` hook checks that the TanStack Router
-plugin appears **before** JSX transformation plugins in the Vite config. This
-is required because the code-splitter must transform the source before JSX
-is compiled away. Validated plugins:
-
-- **React:** `@vitejs/plugin-react` (Babel), `@vitejs/plugin-react-swc` (SWC),
-  `@vitejs/plugin-react-oxc` (OXC)
-- **Solid:** `vite-plugin-solid`
-
-If the order is wrong, the plugin throws an error with a suggested fix.
-
-### Environment Scoping
-
-When `userConfig.plugin?.vite?.environmentName` is set, all three plugins use
-`applyToEnvironment` to restrict themselves to that specific Vite environment.
-This is necessary for TanStack Start, which creates separate plugin instances
-for client and SSR environments.
-
----
-
-## Edge Cases and Gotchas
-
-### 1. Exported Identifiers Are Not Split
-
-If a value for a splittable route option is exported from the route file
-(e.g. `export const MyComp = ...` used as `component: MyComp`), the plugin
-**skips** splitting it. The value stays in the reference file and a warning is
-emitted:
-
-```
-[tanstack-router] These exports from "about.tsx" will not be code-split and will increase your bundle size:
-- MyComp
-For the best optimization, these items should either have their export statements removed, or be imported from another location that is not a route file.
-```
-
-This is because other modules may import `MyComp` directly, and splitting it
-would break those imports. (In dev, the warning is also injected into the
-compiled output as a `console.warn` to make it obvious during local testing.)
-
-### 2. Root Routes Are Never Split
-
-`createRootRoute()` and `createRootRouteWithContext()` are in
-`unsplittableCreateRouteFns`. The reference compiler adds HMR handling but
-exits before attempting any code-splitting transforms.
-
-### 3. `undefined`, `null`, and `boolean` Values Are Kept In-Place
-
-Properties with these literal values are not split:
-
-```tsx
-createFileRoute('/about')({
-  component: undefined, // kept in reference
-  errorComponent: false, // kept in reference
-  notFoundComponent: null, // kept in reference
-})
-```
-
-These represent "fall back to parent route" semantics and must not be moved.
-
-### 4. Destructured Declarations Must Be Shared Atomically
-
-```tsx
-const { a, b } = createHelpers()
-```
-
-If `a` is used by `component` (split) and `b` is used by `loader` (non-split),
-the entire `const { a, b } = createHelpers()` declaration must go to the
-shared module. You can't split the initialization — calling `createHelpers()`
-twice would be incorrect.
-
-### 5. Route-Dependent Bindings Cannot Be Shared
-
-```tsx
-const routePath = Route.fullPath
-function useRouteStuff() {
-  return routePath
-}
-```
-
-Even if `useRouteStuff` is referenced by multiple groups, it cannot be
-extracted to the shared module because it depends on `Route`. Extracting it
-would require `Route` in the shared module, duplicating the route singleton.
-`removeBindingsDependingOnRoute()` handles this via reverse-graph BFS.
-
-### 6. `removeSharedDeclarations` Must Run Before `babel.traverse` in Virtual Files
-
-In `compileCodeSplitVirtualRoute()`, shared declarations are removed
-**before** `babel.traverse` runs:
-
-```ts
-if (opts.sharedBindings && opts.sharedBindings.size > 0) {
-  removeSharedDeclarations(ast, opts.sharedBindings)
-}
-
-babel.traverse(ast, { ... })
-```
-
-If done after, Babel's scope analysis would see both the shared declaration
-and the new shared import, causing a `checkBlockScopedCollisions` crash
-(duplicate `const` binding in the same scope).
-
-### 7. Directive Prologues Survive Code-Splitting
-
-Babel stores directives (like `'use client'`) in `program.directives`, not
-in `program.body`. They are preserved through all transforms automatically.
-The only exception is when the body is completely empty after DCE — then
-directives are stripped too (a file with just `'use client'` and no code is
-useless).
-
-### 8. Plugin Ordering in the Array Matters
-
-The 3 plugins must be returned in order: reference, virtual, shared. The
-reference plugin populates `sharedBindingsMap` before the other two consume
-it. Bundlers process transforms in plugin array order for a given module ID.
-
-### 9. Imported Bindings Are Never Shared
-
-`computeSharedBindings()` only considers **locally-declared** module-level
-bindings. Import statements are handled by the bundler's module system — if
-both the reference file and a virtual file import the same external module,
-the bundler deduplicates that import automatically. No shared module needed.
-
-### 10. `SPLIT_NODES_CONFIG` — Split Strategy per Property
-
-Each splittable property has a configured split strategy:
-
-| Property            | Strategy             | Wrapper                                     |
-| ------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
-| `component`         | `lazyRouteComponent` | Wraps with Suspense-compatible lazy loading |
-| `pendingComponent`  | `lazyRouteComponent` | Same                                        |
-| `errorComponent`    | `lazyRouteComponent` | Same                                        |
-| `notFoundComponent` | `lazyRouteComponent` | Same                                        |
-| `loader`            | `lazyFn`             | Wraps as a lazy function call               |
-
-Components use `lazyRouteComponent` (framework-provided). In React this
-integrates with Suspense-compatible lazy loading. Loaders use `lazyFn` which
-wraps the async function for deferred loading.
-
-### 11. Source Maps Are Preserved
-
-All three compilers pass `sourceMaps: true` and `sourceFileName` to
-`generateFromAst()`, ensuring the browser's devtools can map back to the
-original source file.

-## Module Graph Diagrams
-
-### Simple Route (No Shared Bindings)
-
-```mermaid
-graph LR
-    subgraph "Reference Module"
-        REF["about.tsx"]
-    end
-
-    subgraph "Split Module"
-        COMP["about.tsx?tsr-split=component"]
-    end
-
-    REF -->|"() => import()"| COMP
-```
-
-When the route has no module-level bindings shared between split and non-split
-properties, there is no shared module. The reference module has a dynamic
-import to the split module.
-
-### Route With Shared Bindings
-
-```mermaid
-graph LR
-    subgraph "Reference Module"
-        REF["cached.tsx"]
-    end
-
-    subgraph "Split Module"
-        COMP["cached.tsx?tsr-split=component"]
-    end
-
-    subgraph "Shared Module"
-        SHARED["cached.tsx?tsr-shared=1"]
-    end
-
-    REF -->|"() => import()"| COMP
-    REF -->|"import { getCached, cache }"| SHARED
-    COMP -->|"import { getCached }"| SHARED
-```
-
-The shared module is imported synchronously by both the reference module and
-the split module. Bundlers will usually dedupe this to a single module instance;
-whether it becomes a separate chunk or gets inlined into another chunk depends
-on the bundler's chunking strategy.
-
-### Route With Multiple Split Groups
-
-```mermaid
-graph LR
-    subgraph "Reference Module"
-        REF["dashboard.tsx"]
-    end
-
-    subgraph "Split Modules"
-        COMP["dashboard.tsx?tsr-split=component"]
-        ERR["dashboard.tsx?tsr-split=errorComponent"]
-        NF["dashboard.tsx?tsr-split=notFoundComponent"]
-    end
-
-    subgraph "Shared Module"
-        SHARED["?tsr-shared=1"]
-    end
-
-    REF -->|"() => import()"| COMP
-    REF -->|"() => import()"| ERR
-    REF -->|"() => import()"| NF
-    REF --> SHARED
-    COMP --> SHARED
-    ERR --> SHARED
-    NF --> SHARED
-```
-
-Each split group gets its own split module. If a binding is shared across any
-two of these (or between a split module and the reference module), it lives in
-the shared module.
-
-### Combined Groupings
-
-```mermaid
-graph LR
-    subgraph "Reference Module"
-        REF["page.tsx"]
-    end
-
-    subgraph "Split Module"
-        COMBINED["page.tsx?tsr-split=component---loader"]
-    end
-
-    REF -->|"() => import()"| COMBINED
-```
-
-When `component` and `loader` are in the same grouping
-(`[['component', 'loader']]`), they end up in a single split module. This
-reduces the number of split modules (and likely requests) at the cost of
-loading the loader even when only the component is needed (and vice versa).

+# Automatic code splitting and route HMR: architecture
+
+Internal notes for maintainers. Code splitting and route HMR are two planners on the shared compiler core; read the
+[core README](../router-utils/src/compiler/README.md) first (units, rewrite tree, reachability, emit, caches).
+
+## Files
+
+- `src/hosts/`: the bundler hosts. `vite.ts` (native Vite plugin), `webpack.ts` + `loader.ts` (Rspack and webpack,
+  the plugin's own loader), `session.ts` (one compiler session per plugin instance: caches, route registry view,
+  planner configuration per environment). `src/esbuild.ts` runs the generator only and throws on
+  `autoCodeSplitting`.
+- `src/planners/`: `route.ts` recognises the route (`export const Route = createFileRoute(…)({…})` and the other
+  constructors, by import binding) and reads its options; `decisions.ts` turns `codeSplittingOptions` and the route's
+  options into split groups, `deleteNodes` and not-split reasons; `split.ts` is the `route-split` planner; `hmr.ts` is
+  the `route-hmr` planner; `registry.ts` maps route files to generator ids (by real path, so symlinks work);
+  `round.ts` holds what both planners share in one planning round. `index.ts` is the `@tanstack/router-plugin/planners`
+  entry that Start's hosts compose with their own planners.
+- Runtime (dev only): `router-core/src/hmr.ts` and `{react,solid,vue}-router/src/hmr.ts`, published as `/hmr`
+  subpaths. `lazyRouteComponent` keeps its wrapper identity across updates.
+
+## Outputs of one route file
+
+For `posts.tsx` in a client environment:
+
+| id                                 | contents                                                                                                                                                          |
+| ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `posts.tsx`                        | the route module: `Route` with each split option replaced by `lazyRouteComponent`/`lazyFn` of an importer const, and whatever the route module itself still reads |
+| `posts.tsx?tsr-split=component`    | one chunk per split group (group key: sorted option names joined by `~`, e.g. `component~loader`) exporting the option's value                                    |
+| `posts.tsx?tsr-split=shared~<a+b>` | code several chunks need and the route module does not (key: the needing groups joined by `+`), loaded lazily by those chunks                                     |
+| `posts.tsx?tsr-split=export~Name`  | an exported, pure, unwritten declaration that only chunks need; the route module re-exports it                                                                    |
+
+All of them come from one plan: whichever id the bundler asks first computes the plan, the others reuse it. Placement
+is decided by the core from what each output reads; the planners only say which option values are roots of which
+chunk. Module-level state therefore exists once: a binding the route module and a chunk both read stays in the route
+module and the chunk imports it.
+
+## Splitting rules
+
+- Split keys: `component`, `errorComponent`, `pendingComponent`, `notFoundComponent`, `loader` (an object-form
+  loader splits its `handler`). Default groups: `[['component'], ['errorComponent'], ['notFoundComponent']]`. The root
+  route's `component` stays eager.
+- Any value form splits: identifiers, inline functions, method shorthands, casts, `satisfies`, calls (`memo(Page)`),
+  options held in a module-level constant.
+- Not split, with one warning per file: routes whose options object cannot be read statically (imported from another
+  module, built by a call), and methods/function expressions whose own body reads `this` (`not-split:this-reference`:
+  the router calls them as methods; a lazy wrapper would call them detached). When the limitation is ours, it is a
+  bug, not a warning.
+- Single writer and evaluation order: a split that would make two outputs write one binding, or reorder a module
+  effect, is a core _fallback_; the option stays in the route module.
+- `deleteNodes` removes options (every property form) from the env output and what only they imported.
+- Route CSS (`import './x.css'` and other style extensions) moves into the split component chunks only when every
+  component option the route defines is split; otherwise it stays in the route module.
+
+## Route HMR
+
+- Dev client only, decided by the bundler's mode; production output is identical to `addHmr: false`.
+- The route module gets a literal `import.meta.hot.accept(` (Vite) or `import.meta.webpackHot.accept()` block that
+  calls the framework's `__tsrRouteHmr` from `/hmr` with the new `Route`. The runtime updates the live route in place
+  (only the route this module exported), re-imports split chunks on every update, and decides once the import
+  completes whether the framework's refresh runtime keeps the held component or the lazy wrapper swaps.
+- Split chunks of non-component options (`loader`, …) on Rspack/webpack call `__tsrRouteChunkHmr` and do not accept
+  themselves, so the update bubbles to the route module. Non-component split exports are lowercase so React Refresh
+  does not treat the chunk as a boundary.
+- React Refresh names: components the planner hoists or renames (inline, lowercase, `memo(...)`, `forwardRef(...)`,
+  method shorthands) get stable registration names inside the plan, not in a post-pass.
+- Vite bundled dev: when re-importing a chunk throws Rolldown's `MissingFactoryError` (rolldown#11300), the lazy
+  wrapper loads it through its original importer.
+
+## Testing
+
+Behaviour only, through the public plugins (see [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)): `tests/route-app.ts` (`loadRoute`, a real
+dev server and page), `tests/build-harness.ts` (real builds per bundler), `tests/route-hmr-page.ts`
+(`openRouteHmrPage`). The oracle's SPEC sections J2 (splitting) and J3 (route HMR) are the contract.

+# Compiler core (`@tanstack/router-utils/compiler`)
+
+The shared compiler behind route code splitting and route HMR (`@tanstack/router-plugin`) and every TanStack Start
+transform (`@tanstack/start-plugin-core`: server functions, environment separation, `<Hydrate>`, RSC CSS, import
+protection). It is built on [Yuku](https://github.com/yuku-toolchain/yuku) (parser + semantic model). The route
+generator (`@tanstack/router-generator`) uses Yuku directly and does not go through this core.
+
+This file is the map. The contract the compilers must satisfy is the oracle's
+[SPEC](../../../compiler-test-utils/oracle/SPEC.md); the toy planners and the in-memory host in
+[`tests/helpers.ts`](../../tests/helpers.ts) show every interface below in use.
+
+## The model
+
+**One analysis per (environment, module, input text), one plan, many outputs.** A module is parsed once with
+Yuku's semantic model. Every job is a _planner_ that reads that analysis and adds to one shared plan; no job
+re-parses, re-prints or reads another job's output. The plan yields:
+
+- the env module (the code returned for the requested id),
+- every derived module of the same source in that env: split chunks (`?tsr-split=…`), lazy shared modules,
+  extracted exports (`?tsr-split=export~Name`), Hydrate chunks (`?tss-hydrate=…`), server-function provider modules
+  (`?tss-serverfn-split`),
+- facts: surviving import edges (import protection), server-function registry entries, diagnostics, file
+  dependencies, per-planner data.
+
+Any id of a file may arrive first: a derived id computes (or reuses) the plan of its file at the same revision and
+emits its own output. Nothing depends on transform order.
+
+### Units, regions, edits
+
+- **Units** (`units.ts`): the top level split into the smallest things placement reasons about: one import specifier,
+  one declarator, one function/class/enum/namespace (merged declarations together), one export specifier, every other
+  statement. **Regions** are ranges planned as one thing; every unit is one, and planners register sub-regions
+  (route option values, Hydrate children, nested server-fn chains).
+- **Rewrite tree** (`rewrite.ts`): planners emit edits against _original_ UTF-16 ranges: remove, replace with
+  fragments, insert. Fragments are retained original slices (rendered with their own nested edits), structured text
+  with symbol references (`SymRef`), glue specifiers and context-aware reference rewrites (shorthand properties
+  expand, export names stay). A _generated unit_ can claim a region: the region renders inside its owner, wherever the
+  owner is placed, and a placeholder renders at the original position. Edits nest, so a range moved into a chunk
+  carries the env edits inside it.
+- **Generated code declares its reads** (`SymRef`s); nothing is re-parsed to find them. Names come from one
+  allocator per file over every name in every scope (`names.ts`), so a name means the same thing in every output.
+
+### Reachability = splitting = dead-code removal (`reach.ts`)
+
+Per output: roots → closure over _live_ value references (not inside removed ranges; type positions never keep
+anything alive) at cluster granularity (a binding with all its writers and augmentations travels together) → the
+units that output contains. The same computation decides:
+
+- **placement**: a cluster only one split group needs goes to that chunk; one the route module needs stays there and
+  chunks import it; one several groups need goes to a lazy shared module; copyable primitives and import specifiers
+  are duplicated;
+- **dead code, by provenance**: a declaration is removed only if _our_ edits orphaned it (its readers disappeared
+  because a planner removed or moved them). Code already unreferenced in the source keeps running;
+- **effects**: expression statements and impure, still-referenced declarations are effect roots of the env module,
+  never duplicated or lost; an effectful cluster may move with its only needer under strict conditions (unexported,
+  no surviving later effect, …). When a split would break single-writer or evaluation-order rules, the core reports a
+  _fallback_ and `compileModule` re-runs the planners once more with that region kept in place (at most 3 rounds).
+
+### Emit and source maps (`emit.ts`, `output-builder.ts`)
+
+Each output is a flat recipe of original slices and generated text, rendered by our `OutputBuilder` straight into a
+v3 source map. User code is never re-printed: comments, escapes and directives survive, and segments start at every
+word and punctuator of copied text, so positions in every output (derived modules included) map to the user's
+line:column. Lines follow every ECMAScript line terminator. Hosts compose the map with the bundler's input map. The
+header (hashbang, pragmas, license, directives) is handled by `header.ts`; derived outputs copy pragmas and
+directives, never license comments.
+
+### Values and summaries (`values.ts`, `summary.ts`, `resolve.ts`, `facts.ts`)
+
+- Recognition is by binding identity, never by name: an abstract value domain over bindings (factory, builder with
+  links, isomorphic fn, namespace, function returns, unknown, plus symbolic `importRef`/`member`/`call` terms) with a
+  pluggable `RecognizerTable` (Start supplies its kinds; the core ships none).
+- Across modules, **summaries**: the export table and the abstract values of exports, computed from the module's
+  _raw_ text (filesystem read or exact-id virtual load, never the bundler's transform pipeline), environment-
+  independent, holding no AST. `ExportResolver` follows re-export chains over summaries. Known TanStack packages are
+  recognised by specifier and never resolved.
+- `RawFactsCache` owns the raw text per canonical id and serves summaries and import-protection _target facts_
+  (marker, export names, effect classification, evaluation and lazy imports) from one read.
+
+## Pipeline (`pipeline.ts` `compileModule`)
+
+| phase | what                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
+| ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| A     | identify (canonical id = host id minus compiler-owned query keys), validated plan-cache lookup, parse, Tier 0 analysis (imports/exports/edges/effects), each planner's `gate`, async `prefetch` (resolutions, summaries, target facts; may withdraw the planner) |
+| B     | synchronous `prepare`/`plan` of every planner on an `AnalysisPlan`, `resolve()` (claims, clusters, roots, homes, glue, per-output edges), `freeze()` into a plain-data `EmitPlan`                                                                                |

+| D     | emission of the requested output, on demand                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
+
+Tier 1 (units, symbols, classified references) is built only when a planner needs it. Phase C restarts the compile
+(up to 3 attempts) when a dependency changed underneath it; a compile overtaken by a newer revision of its own file is
+returned but not published.
+
+## Caches and invalidation (`cache.ts`, `host.ts`)
+
+- `PlanCache`: one plan per (env, file), the latest revision only. A hit is _validated_ (same canonical identity,
+  input hash, config/env digest, and every dependency fingerprint still current).
+- `DependencyLedger`: dependencies are recorded as facts are acquired (resolutions, summary digests, target facts,
+  route registry digests, failed resolutions), and a `DependentsIndex` maps them back to plans.
+- `invalidate(caches, change, hosts)` is **the** invalidation operation: hosts call it per file change/add/unlink; it
+  evicts the file's plans in every env, marks its raw facts stale, re-validates dependents' fingerprints with each
+  environment's own resolver (add/unlink also retry failed resolutions) and returns `{ evicted, dependents }`, which
+  the host hard-invalidates in the bundler. A summary change invalidates importers only when its export-facts digest changed.
+- Invariants: no Yuku object is reachable from any cache (`tests/heap.test.ts`); every cache is bounded by the live
+  module set; derived outputs are pure functions of (env, source, config, summaries).
+

+
+Composition: `startPlanners()` in `start-plugin-core/src/planners/index.ts`; router planners are exported from
+`@tanstack/router-plugin/planners`.
+
+### Adding a planner
+
+1. Implement `Planner` (`host.ts`): `name`, `tier` (0 if you only need import/export tables), a cheap `gate`, an
+   optional async `prefetch` (everything cross-module happens here and is recorded as a dependency; resolve to
+   `false` to withdraw), `plan(ctx)` (synchronous: register regions, emit edits, `declareOutput`/`addRoot` for
+   derived modules, `setFacts`, `diagnostic`), and an optional per-output `policy`.
+2. Never walk the whole AST when a semantic query from the import table or a binding's references answers the
+   question; never keep a Yuku node beyond `plan()`; facts must be JSON data.
+3. Slot it into the host's planner array at its fixed position; read its config through `ctx.config`.
+4. Add core unit tests with a toy planner if the core needs a new capability (and keep the invariants above), and
+   oracle tests through the public plugins for the behaviour.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Core unit tests: `packages/router-utils/tests/` (`pipeline`, `placement`, `rewrite`, `output-builder`, `values`,
+  `facts`, `edges`, `identity`, `heap`), driven by toy planners and a `MemoryHost` (`helpers.ts`). Run
+  `@tanstack/router-utils:test:unit`.
+- Behaviour: the oracle in `packages/compiler-test-utils/oracle/` ([README](../../../compiler-test-utils/oracle/README.md),
+  [SPEC](../../../compiler-test-utils/oracle/SPEC.md), [KNOWN-BUGS](../../../compiler-test-utils/oracle/KNOWN-BUGS.md)):
+  `test:unit` and `test:integration` of router-generator, router-plugin, start-plugin-core and react-start-rsc. Real
+  bundlers, dev servers and browsers, public entry points only, no output snapshots. Known bugs are `.fails` pins;
+  `COMPILER_TESTS_PINS=run` runs them as ordinary tests. Harness rules: [AGENTS.md](../../../compiler-test-utils/AGENTS.md).
+- Planner-level tests: `start-plugin-core/tests/planners/` (with a memory host) and the router-plugin unit tier.
+
+## Performance and bytes
+
+- Compiler perf harness: [`benchmarks/compiler-perf/`](../../../../benchmarks/compiler-perf/README.md): generated
+  338-route Start/Router apps (React and Solid), dev startup, compile-all, HMR, builds, the _floor_ (compiler outputs
+  replayed) and memory/leak checks.
+- Client bytes: `pnpm benchmark:bundle-size:run` (18 scenarios); server bytes and cold start:
+  `scripts/benchmarks/bundle-size/server.mjs`. Client production bytes must not grow.
+- Rules: semantic queries over full-AST walks, cheap gates before parsing, no worker pool, `yuku` pinned to an exact
+  version, every cache bounded and invalidated.

 - Virtual prefixes and query parameters can be part of a module's identity. Preserve them in resolution, loading, and module-cache keys; use `cleanId` only for physical-file matching, diagnostics, and file invalidation. Load compiler dependencies through the bundler host.

Preserve adapter-specific deferral and survival checks; development has no build-time tree-shaking, and Vite's error/mock modes differ. Cover actual leaks and safe boundaries in cold/warm development and builds.
+- The compiler is a set of planners (`src/planners/`) on the shared [compiler core](../router-utils/src/compiler/README.md), hosted by `src/vite/compiler-plugin.ts` and the Rsbuild loaders ([COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE.md](src/rsbuild/COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE.md)). Server-function recognition is in `src/compiler/`, ids/registry/resolver in `src/server-fns/`.
+- For import-protection changes, read `src/planners/edges.ts` (per-output edges, mock substitution) and `src/import-protection/` (rules, build verdicts after tree-shaking, `onViolation` fixed point, reports). Preserve adapter-specific deferral and survival checks; development has no build-time tree-shaking, and Vite's error/mock modes differ. Cover actual leaks and safe boundaries in cold/warm development and builds.
 - Compiler output must match runtime contracts in `start-client-core`, `start-fn-stubs`, and `start-server-core`. For `createServerFn`, cover client, SSR caller, and server-provider output separately in [`tests/createServerFn/createServerFn.test.ts`](tests/createServerFn/createServerFn.test.ts).
 - Use a built Start e2e app to validate generated imports and runtime behavior together; compiler snapshots alone do not exercise that integration.
 - The shared compiler serves both Vite and Rsbuild. For shared compiler changes, check the relevant adapter suites in `tests/integration/rsbuild/` and the Vite and Rsbuild rows of the compiler tests, plus affected Start e2e modes for build, server-function, or HMR behavior.

+### Soak (`--scenarios soak`)
+
+`soakRun` in `scripts/run.mjs`: one dev server (`--soak-bundlers vite,rsbuild`;
+Rsbuild for `react-start` only), `--soak-cycles` (default 500) edit + revert
+cycles rotating over the kinds of `scripts/soak-files.mjs`: the HMR probes
+(route component, loader, shared module, server-fn handler, `<Hydrate>`),
+module adds and deletes (a new module imported by a soak route, then
+dropped and deleted), route adds and deletes (route tree regenerated), route
+renames, adding/removing a `*.server.ts` import (alternately read by a
+server-fn handler and by client code, an import-protection violation), and
+dependency-only factory flips (`src/soak/factory.ts` stops/starts exporting a
+server-fn builder; only its importer's output changes). Every name is a
+function of the cycle index (record/replay sees the same files).
+
+Every `--soak-every` cycles (default 25): forced GC, `heapUsed`, `external`,
+`arrayBuffers`, RSS, and the compiler's cache sizes (`TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1`,
+below); heap snapshots after the `--soak-snapshots` cycles (default
+`0,100,500`; the cycle-0 snapshot absorbs V8's one-time snapshot overhead).
+`--soak-modes`: `real`, `replay` (record run, then a run with our transform
+hooks replaced by the recorded outputs, see Floor), `transform-off` (Router
+app with splitting and HMR off: nothing reaches the compiler).
+
+- `scripts/soak-analyze.mjs <soak-*.json>`: OLS slope of each GC'd metric
+  (KB/edit, 95% CI) over the last 75% of the samples, and per cache counter
+  its values, slope per 100 cycles and whether it grows.
+- `scripts/heap-diff.mjs A.heapsnapshot B.heapsnapshot`: per-constructor
+  growth, new survivors, and retained self size by _owner_ (the first
+  function or class instance on the shortest retaining path whose script
+  belongs to a package), A → B (`--owner-detail <name>` lists one owner's
+  largest objects with their paths).
+
+### Compiler introspection and cache knobs (dev-only measurement aids)
+
+Environment variables read by `@tanstack/router-utils/compiler` (inert unless
+set; Node-side only, never in a bundle):
+
+- `TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1`: the compiler caches (`PlanCache`, dependents index,
+  `RawFactsCache`, resolution caches, with approximate bytes and hit/miss
+  counters), the hosts' sessions (import protection, server-fn registries,
+  Rsbuild per-resource records) and the route generator register size
+  readers in a process-global registry (`compilerStats()`; the dev driver
+  and `scripts/ipc-agent.mjs` answer `{ type: 'stats' }`).
+  `TSR_COMPILER_STATS_BYTES=0` skips the byte estimates.
+- `TSR_COMPILER_NO_CACHE=<list>`: disables caches for on/off measurements:
+  `plans` (no plan is published: every request, derived ids included,
+  plans again), `emitted` (the per-plan memo of emitted outputs), `facts`
+  (summaries and target facts re-read and re-parsed on every request),
+  `targets` (target facts only), `resolutions`, `all`. Outputs are
+  identical with any knob (`stats.test.ts`).
+- `scripts/cache-knobs.mjs --out <dir>`: runs the harness per (round, knob),
+  interleaved, and tabulates medians per knob against "all on".

+The compiler's dev caches stay bounded by the live modules: deleted, renamed or no longer imported files leave no plans, raw facts, dependency-index rows or import-protection records behind (Vite and Rsbuild), and publishing a plan updates only that plan's dependency rows. Editing the imports of a route module no longer fully reloads the page in Start. `TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1` exposes the cache sizes and `TSR_COMPILER_NO_CACHE` disables caches for measurements.

Subject: [PATCH 1072/1425] chore(router-utils, router-plugin): drop dead
 exports and dependencies

Remove the unused logDiff (with ansis and diff) and createIdentifier/decodeIdentifier
exports from router-utils, and router-plugin's redundant chokidar dependency: the
watcher lives in router-generator, which declares it.

 crypto.hash for digests

revision/digestOf (plan freshness, digests, edge keys), the default server function
id and the Hydrate file hash use crypto.hash instead of createHash().update().digest().
Same bytes; available since Node 20.12 (engines: >=20.19).

Subject: [PATCH 1074/1425] perf(router-generator, router-plugin,
 start-plugin-core): load jiti, remapping and lightningcss on first use

jiti is only needed for virtual route configs, @jridgewell/remapping only when a
Rspack/webpack loader receives another loader's input map, and lightningcss only
for inline CSS with rewritable urls: none of them loads at plugin startup anymore.

Subject: [PATCH 1075/1425] refactor(start-plugin-core): probe Start entries
 directly instead of exsolve

The four entry lookups join the entry to srcDirectory and try the extensions in
order, returning the real path as exsolve did, without exsolve's process-wide cache:
a missing entry created later is found and memory no longer grows across builds.
exsolve stays a devDependency for the test helpers.

Subject: [PATCH 1076/1425] feat(router-core): tooling entry for the build
 plugins' helpers

@tanstack/router-core/tooling exports rootRouteId, the path helpers and the manifest
link helpers. The route generator and the Start plugin import them from it instead
of loading the router runtime through the root entry at startup.

 remapping statically again

unplugin already imports @jridgewell/remapping at plugin startup, so loading it
lazily in the loaders saved nothing and only made composeMap async.

Subject: [PATCH 1079/1425] revert(start-plugin-core): keep exsolve for entry
 lookups, without its cache

The inlined probe saved ~1 ms per process start but diverged from exsolve on
edge cases (a srcDirectory that does not exist also looked in its parent,
unreadable candidates were skipped, percent-decoding and queries), so keep
exsolve. Pass cache: false instead: its process-wide cache kept misses, so a
dev server restart did not see an entry file created since. The plugin already
resolves the entries once per instance; a restart pays ~0.3 ms more.

 - Generator plugins given as `router.plugins` run next to Start's (#7768); Start's route tree footer follows `quoteStyle` and `semicolons`.
 - Solid Start server environments split route components like the client, so hydration keys agree.
-- Start's entries (`start`, `router`, `client`, `server`) are found by a direct file probe instead of `exsolve`, whose process-wide cache grew across builds in one process and kept a missing entry missing after a dev server restart.
+- Require `exsolve` `^1.1.3`, so memory no longer grows across builds in one process. Entry lookups bypass its process-wide cache, so an entry file created after a dev server restart is found.
 - The plugins load the router-core helpers they need from the new `@tanstack/router-core/tooling` entry instead of the router runtime.
 
 **Removed (experimental, Babel-typed):** the `compilerTransforms` and `serverFnProviderModuleDirectives` options and the `StartCompilerPlugin`, `StartCompilerImportTransform`, `StartCompilerTransformContext` and `StartCompilerTransformCandidate` types. RSC integrations pass `rsc: { loadCssExpression, providerDirective }` instead.

Subject: [PATCH 1080/1425] refactor(router-utils): drop the resolution cache
 and the emitted-output memo (R54)

Resolutions are recorded per compile in the dependency ledger (one answer
per attempt) and validated through the environment's own resolver; nothing
caches them across compiles, so add/unlink no longer clears anything and the
Rsbuild session's forgetMisses only marks missing files. Emission from a
frozen recipe is not memoised on the plan. The TSR_COMPILER_NO_CACHE knobs
'resolutions' and 'emitted', their counters and stats go with them.

Subject: [PATCH 1082/1425] fix(router-core): route HMR updates the route a
 rebuilt route tree holds

After a route is added or renamed, the regenerated route tree module
re-executes and imports each route module's current export, so the router
can hold a later evaluation of a route than the first one the HMR runtime
recorded; every later edit of that route was ignored (found by the compiler
soak on Rsbuild: a loader edit after an inline server fn cycle never showed).
applyRouteHmr now records every evaluation of a route id, syncs the router
with the tree before choosing the live route, and updates that one.

Regression tests on Start's Rsbuild and Vite dev servers (a loader edit
after a route added and after a route renamed) and a router-core unit test.

 Add the compiler core shared by the router plugin and TanStack Start, built on Yuku (`@tanstack/router-utils/compiler`): one parse and one plan per module and environment, with every output (the module, its split chunks, Hydrate chunks, server function providers) emitted from the original source with exact source maps.
 
-The dev caches stay bounded by the live modules: deleted, renamed or no longer imported files leave no plans, raw facts or dependency-index rows behind, and publishing a plan updates only that plan's dependency rows. `TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1` exposes the cache sizes (`compilerStats()`) of the compiler core, the router plugin and the route generator, and `TSR_COMPILER_NO_CACHE` disables caches for measurements.
+The dev caches stay bounded by the live modules: deleted, renamed or no longer imported files leave no plans, raw facts or dependency-index rows behind, and publishing a plan updates only that plan's dependency rows. Resolutions and emitted outputs are not cached: each compile records its resolutions in its dependency ledger and validation asks the bundler's resolver again, and outputs are emitted from the frozen plan on request. `TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1` exposes the cache sizes (`compilerStats()`) of the compiler core, the router plugin and the route generator, and `TSR_COMPILER_NO_CACHE` (`plans`, `facts`, `targets`, `all`) disables caches for measurements.
 
 Removed the Babel helpers (`parseAst`, `generateFromAst`, `deadCodeElimination`, `findReferencedIdentifiers`, `stripTypeExports` and the binding helpers of `compiler-helpers`) and the `@babel/*` and `babel-dead-code-elimination` dependencies. Also removed the unused `logDiff`, `createIdentifier` and `decodeIdentifier` exports and the `ansis` and `diff` dependencies.

It updates the live route in place, keeps each split component's lazy wrapper across updates, and with Vite's bundled dev falls back to the original importer when Rolldown throws `MissingFactoryError`.

Subject: [PATCH 1084/1425] perf(router-utils): re-resolve a plan's resolutions
 only after the file set changed

Without the resolution cache every plan hit (derived ids included) asked the
bundler's resolver for each recorded resolution again: +7% Vite build, +18%
compile-all, +9% Rsbuild build in interleaved runs. A resolver's answer only
changes when a file appears or disappears, so the caches carry a file-set
version (bumped by invalidate on add/unlink, and per Rsbuild watch
compilation, which gets no event for files nothing imports) and validation
skips the resolutions of a plan validated at the current version. No
resolution is stored anywhere.

 Add the compiler core shared by the router plugin and TanStack Start, built on Yuku (`@tanstack/router-utils/compiler`): one parse and one plan per module and environment, with every output (the module, its split chunks, Hydrate chunks, server function providers) emitted from the original source with exact source maps.
 
-The dev caches stay bounded by the live modules: deleted, renamed or no longer imported files leave no plans, raw facts or dependency-index rows behind, and publishing a plan updates only that plan's dependency rows. Resolutions and emitted outputs are not cached: each compile records its resolutions in its dependency ledger and validation asks the bundler's resolver again, and outputs are emitted from the frozen plan on request. `TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1` exposes the cache sizes (`compilerStats()`) of the compiler core, the router plugin and the route generator, and `TSR_COMPILER_NO_CACHE` (`plans`, `facts`, `targets`, `all`) disables caches for measurements.

Also removed the unused `logDiff`, `createIdentifier` and `decodeIdentifier` exports and the `ansis` and `diff` dependencies.

Subject: [PATCH 1086/1425] fix(router-utils, start-plugin-core): clean
 destructured and local orphans in the compiler core

Start-env's cleanup of declarations only removed code read moves into the
compiler core (`cleanOrphanedDeclarations`) so that every planner that erases
code can run it. Found by running babel-dead-code-elimination's test suite
through the Start compiler:

- an orphaned object rest element is removed, so a sibling whose default
  reads a server-only import can go too (the import no longer reaches the
  client);
- a function-level pattern whose every binding is orphaned goes whole
  (`const {} = serverConfig` kept the import);
- a removed trailing array element leaves a hole, so the iterator is
  stepped as often as in the source;
- an impure initialiser kept for its effects parses when it starts with
  `{`, `function` or `class`, and cannot continue the previous line;
- a bail-out no longer cancels the round's progress (the fixpoint could
  stop early).

Subject: [PATCH 1087/1425] fix(router-plugin): deleteNodes takes destructured
 bindings only it read

A route option `deleteNodes` erases (Start's client `server` handlers) now
takes with it the destructuring leaves only it read, with the imports their
defaults or computed keys read, as babel-dead-code-elimination did on main.
The route-split planner runs the core's `cleanOrphanedDeclarations` after
its erasures (start-env's run happens before the router planners in Start).

Subject: [PATCH 1089/1425] fix(compiler): compile modules under project paths
 with a #
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A `#` in the project path (`C#`, `project #2`) was read as a URL fragment
by the compiler's id parsing (`identify()`, the route split planner's
sibling specifier, import protection's path stripping), so every module of
such an app was passed through untouched: no route split, no HMR and, in
Start, no server-function, environment or import-protection transform. A
`#` is now a fragment only after the query.

Rspack and webpack escape a `#` of the path in the loader's `resource`
(`​#`, `\0#`); both loaders now unescape it, so the path matches the
route registry and the file system. The Vite hosts load their own derived
ids (`?tsr-split=`, `?tss-hydrate=`, `?tss-serverfn-split`) and resolve
absolute ones verbatim, since Vite's load fallback and file resolution cut
an id at the `#`.

Tests: identity unit test; router builds under `#`, `%`, spaces and
non-ASCII directories on Vite, Rspack and webpack assert the split; a
Start build under a `#` directory asserts the handler is not in the client
bundle and the route is split, on Vite and Rsbuild.

Date: Sun, 25 Oct 2026 23:55:46 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 1090/1425] fix(compiler): report modules the compiler cannot
 parse instead of passing them through

A module Yuku could not parse was returned untouched by every host, on the
assumption that the bundler's own parser rejects it too. SWC and esbuild
accept TypeScript grammar errors Yuku (and tsc) reject, e.g. a definite
assignment assertion with an initializer, so a Start module defining a
server function could ship to the client untransformed.

Start (Vite and Rsbuild): a module that names a Start or Router package
and does not parse fails the client build with an error positioned in the
file; server environments warn once. Modules naming no such package keep
the safe pass-through (CommonJS scripts, J4.16). Router plugin: a route
module that does not parse stays unsplit and is reported once per file per
run, naming the file (J2.8, J2.19). The router Vite host resets its
warning ledger once per build run, not once per environment.

Subject: [PATCH 1091/1425] chore(compiler): require Node with require(esm) for
 the CommonJS builds, and say what changes in the changesets
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`yuku` is ESM-only and the CommonJS builds of router-utils, router-plugin
and router-generator (and the `tsr` binary) `require()` it: Node loads an
ES module through `require()` without a flag only from 20.19 and 22.12
(23 and later always). `engines` of those packages, and of router-cli,
now say `^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0` instead of `>=20.19`, which admitted
21 and 22.0–22.11, where a `webpack.config.js` requiring the plugin throws
ERR_REQUIRE_ESM. Loading yuku through a dynamic `import()` instead would
make the synchronous parse API asynchronous, so the range is the fix.

The Start and router-plugin changesets open with what changes for an app
that upgrades: every server function id changes, `generateFunctionId`
receives the stable name, production refuses HTTP calls to server
functions no client module imports, unparsable modules fail the client
build, esbuild refuses code splitting, the removed experimental hooks,
the one-time route tree formatting change, and the Node range.

 The dev caches stay bounded by the live modules: deleted, renamed or no longer imported files leave no plans, raw facts or dependency-index rows behind, and publishing a plan updates only that plan's dependency rows. `TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1` exposes the cache sizes (`compilerStats()`) of the compiler core, the router plugin and the route generator, and `TSR_COMPILER_NO_CACHE` disables caches for measurements.

 Route code splitting and route HMR run on the new compiler core instead of Babel: faster dev startup, HMR and builds, with the same production output shape.
 
+**What changes for your app when you upgrade:**
+
+- **esbuild refuses `autoCodeSplitting: true`** with a clear error (route generation still works there); use Vite, Rspack or webpack for code splitting.
+- **CommonJS consumers need Node 20.19+ or 22.12+** (`engines`): a `webpack.config.js` / `rspack.config.js` that `require()`s the plugin loads the ESM-only parser through `require(esm)`, which Node 22.0–22.11 and 21 do not support.
+- **Routes the compiler cannot read statically stay unsplit with one warning per file per build** naming the file: route options built by a helper call (`createFileRoute('/x')(makeOptions())`), options that spread or compute, methods that read `this`, and route modules the compiler cannot parse. Main split some of these silently or crashed.
+- **`routeTree.gen.ts` formatting changes once** (`enableRouteTreeFormatting` now defaults to `false`; see the route generator's changeset).
+- **Removed:** `codeSplittingOptions.compilerPlugins` (the experimental Babel hook).
+
 - Any route option value splits: identifiers, inline functions, method shorthands (#8623), object-form loaders (#8753), casts, `satisfies`, calls such as `memo(Page)`, and options held in a module-level constant. Module state the route module and its chunks share exists once (#8754, #8505). Root routes split their `errorComponent` and `notFoundComponent`.
 - `createFileRoute` & co. are recognised by their import binding. Routes whose options cannot be read statically, and methods or function expressions that read `this` (#8688), stay in the route module with one warning naming the file.
 - A route's CSS import loads with its split component chunks when every component option the route defines is split; otherwise it stays in the route module.

 Start's Vite and Rsbuild plugins run on the new compiler core instead of Babel: each module compiles once per environment, with server functions, environment separation, `<Hydrate>`, RSC CSS, route code splitting and HMR, and import protection in one pass. Builds and dev startup are 2–4× faster on a 340-route benchmark app.
 
+**What changes for your app when you upgrade:**
+
+- **Every server function id changes** (a shorter hash of the file and the function's name). Update CDN rules, WAF allowlists, analytics keyed by id and native clients that call `/_serverFn/<id>` directly. Browser tabs loaded before a deploy fail their next server-function call after it: plan a reload or a blue/green window.
+- **`serverFns.generateFunctionId` receives the function's stable name** (`greetUser`) as `functionName`, not the generated handler name (`greetUser_createServerFn_handler`). Custom generators keyed on the old names must be updated.
+- **Production builds answer HTTP calls only for server functions that some client module imports.** A function only server code calls, or one returned to the client as data, gets a 404 over HTTP. The dev server still answers and warns once per function, so this shows up only after deploying: check the dev warnings before you ship.
+- **A module the compiler cannot parse fails the client build** with an error naming the file, instead of shipping untransformed (its server code included).
+- **`routeTree.gen.ts` formatting changes once**: `enableRouteTreeFormatting` now defaults to `false` and the tree is printed in your `quoteStyle` and `semicolons`; commit the one-time diff.
+- **Removed (experimental, Babel-typed):** the `compilerTransforms` and `serverFnProviderModuleDirectives` options and the `StartCompilerPlugin`, `StartCompilerImportTransform`, `StartCompilerTransformContext` and `StartCompilerTransformCandidate` types. RSC integrations pass `rsc: { loadCssExpression, providerDirective }` instead.
+
 **Server functions**
 
 - **Production builds answer HTTP calls only for server functions that client code imports.** A function only server code calls (another server function, a server route), or one returned to the client as data, is refused when called over HTTP. The dev server still answers such a call and warns once per function.

Subject: [PATCH 1092/1425] perf(router-core): re-read the route tree only when
 it re-executed

The route HMR runtime re-read the tree on every route update (two tree
processings per edit); now only when the parent's children no longer hold
the router's route, which is what a re-executed tree module leaves behind.

Subject: [PATCH 1093/1425] test(router-plugin): smoke the plugin on Vite 6 and
 7

The peer range admits Vite 5 to 8 while the suite runs on 8. A new
private, test-only package, @tanstack/compiler-vite-versions, holds Vite 6
and 7 as aliased packages (vite6, vite7); each ships a `vite` binary, so
they live apart from any package that builds with Vite (installed as
devDependencies of router-plugin they shadowed its `vite` binary, and the
library build ran under Vite 7). The smoke builds a route app with each
version (the component is a lazy chunk and renders) and serves it to a
real page (the component is split; a route option edit hot-updates the
page's router in place). Vite 5's latest release fails the workspace's
no-downgrade trust policy and cannot be installed.

Subject: [PATCH 1094/1425] ci(compiler): widen the platform smoke tier

The Compiler Platforms workflow ran one integration test per project on
Windows, macOS arm64, Linux arm64 and Alpine. Its unit step now includes
the compiler core (router-utils), and the smoke step runs the production
bundle checks on Vite and Rspack, the project-path rows (`#`, `%`, spaces,
non-ASCII) and the unparsable-module rows on every bundler, and the
non-ASCII route file rows, all without a browser; Start's smoke adds its
project-path and unparsable-module builds on Vite and Rsbuild.

Subject: [PATCH 1096/1425] fix(compiler): warn once per file per build run on
 Rspack and webpack

The Start Rsbuild host and the router webpack host reset their warning
ledger in every environment compiler's `beforeRun`, so a file's warning
(a route built by a helper call, an option that reads `this`) repeated
once per environment of a build. The client environment's run starts the
ledger, as in the Vite hosts (SPEC J2.19).

Subject: [PATCH 1097/1425] fix(router-utils): core correctness fixes from the
 pre-merge review

- an edit overriding a claimed placeholder counts as reads of the enclosing
  region in that output (a nested server fn chain kept in place with its stub
  lost every import and const it read in the separate-provider env)
- the renderer guards a statement start whose rendered first token could
  continue the previous unterminated statement with a ';' (ASI hazard of
  '(() => 1)()' replacements and orphaned initialisers)
- an extracted-export output re-exports every exported symbol of the moved
  cluster (an exported let and the function writing it)
- regex literals are not copyable primitives (identity and lastIndex)
- an orphaned function-level call initialiser always stays as a statement
  with the import it reads (hook calls never dropped)
- pre-existing dead pure cycles are kept like a dead self-recursive function
- compileModule serves the last overtaken attempt's plan (unpublished, with
  a compile-overtaken warning) instead of throwing after 3 attempts, and
  discards the dependency ledger when an attempt throws

Subject: [PATCH 1098/1425] fix(compiler): resolve derived ids by their
 importer only
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Vite hosts returned an absolute derived id (`?tsr-split=…`,
`?tss-hydrate=…`) verbatim from `resolveId`, meant for ids the compiler
itself constructed under a project path with a `#`. In dev, a browser's
root-relative URL (`/src/route.tsx?tsr-split=component`) is absolute too,
so it was never resolved to its file and failed to load. Derived ids are
resolved as the importer's sibling, as before; `load` serves them.

Subject: [PATCH 1099/1425] fix(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): split
 decisions for reassigned values and object-form loaders; Hydrate on the core
 orphan cleanup

- an identifier option value naming a reassigned module binding stays in the
  route module with a not-split:reassigned warning (the route holds the value
  it had when it was created)
- an object-form loader passed by reference with options next to handler is
  split inside its object (staleReloadMode stays with the route), or stays
  with a not-split:loader-object warning when other code reads the object
- Hydrate's server-side orphan pass is the core cleanUp (R56)
- tests: nested server fns in the separate provider env keep what their
  chains read; hook calls and their imports survive on the client and under
  <ClientOnly> on the server; captures of the enclosing function are compile
  errors in client, ssr and rsc (planner level, Vite host, Vite RSC, Rsbuild
  RSC layer) and the non-capturing case is hoisted everywhere; isomorphic
  and env-only replacements after an unterminated statement; the route
  module re-exports an exported let with its setter

Subject: [PATCH 1101/1425] fix(router-utils): keep orphaned hook calls only;
 other server-only initialisers still leave

A function-level initialiser calling a hook (useX, ns.useX) stays as a
statement with its imports whatever they are; a plain call whose imports
nothing else reads is server-only code and leaves with them (the oracle's
'drops vars nested in blocks only the server implementation reads').

Subject: [PATCH 1102/1425] fix(router-core): route HMR of a root route, which
 has no parent

The tree re-read check read `parentRoute.children` of the router's route,
which throws for the root route, so every root route edit failed to apply
and fell back to a full reload.

Subject: [PATCH 1103/1425] chore: drop unused devDependencies, the yuku
 release-age exclusion and a stale .gitignore entry

compiler-test-utils pins yuku 0.23.0 like the product packages; 0.23.0 is
older than the minimumReleaseAge window, so the exclusion is no longer needed.

Subject: [PATCH 1104/1425] fix(router-utils): rewrite the import assertion
 keyword, not a comment naming it
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The `assert` → `with` rewrite searched the text between the specifier and
the attributes for the word, so `/* assert */ assert { … }` rewrote the
comment and kept the keyword browsers reject. Skip whitespace and comments and
look at the first word.

Subject: [PATCH 1105/1425] refactor(compiler): delete leftovers and
 consolidate duplicated helpers

- import protection: delete the unused debug/candidate helpers, the unused
  constants module (with the TSR_IMPORT_PROTECTION_DEBUG(_FILTER) env reads)
  and the unused adapter-config fields
- delete zero-reference exports (emitOutput, CompilerError, planCacheFor,
  describeCluster, readStringLiteral, isComponentTagName, jsxText,
  RegionTable.isWithin, HYDRATE_QUERY_KEY, PROVIDER_QUERY and the re-exports of
  routerRouteId/EDGE_MODULE_PREFIX), and barrel re-exports nobody imports
- one unwrapExpression/isExpressionWrapper in the core instead of six copies
  with different wrapper sets
- Start drops its copy of the import-attributes keyword rewrite (the core's
  applies to every output)
- one OWNED_QUERY_RE (derived from OWNED_QUERY_KEYS) and one derived-sibling
  resolver (resolveDerivedSibling) for both Vite hosts

Subject: [PATCH 1106/1425] chore(router-plugin): narrow the vite peer range to
 >=6

Vite 5 cannot be installed under the workspace's trust policy, so support for
it cannot be tested; the plugin is smoke-tested on Vite 6, 7 and 8.

 **What changes for your app when you upgrade:**
 
+- **Vite 6 or later is required** (the `vite` peer range is now `>=6`): the plugin is tested on Vite 6, 7 and 8; Vite 5 is no longer supported.
 - **esbuild refuses `autoCodeSplitting: true`** with a clear error (route generation still works there); use Vite, Rspack or webpack for code splitting.
 - **CommonJS consumers need Node 20.19+ or 22.12+** (`engines`): a `webpack.config.js` / `rspack.config.js` that `require()`s the plugin loads the ESM-only parser through `require(esm)`, which Node 22.0–22.11 and 21 do not support.
 - **Routes the compiler cannot read statically stay unsplit with one warning per file per build** naming the file: route options built by a helper call (`createFileRoute('/x')(makeOptions())`), options that spread or compute, methods that read `this`, and route modules the compiler cannot parse. Main split some of these silently or crashed.

+  compiles again), `facts` (every raw-facts read of a file re-reads and re-analyses it), `targets` (target facts of
+  imported modules are rebuilt on every read), or `all`. Output must be identical with any combination; only speed
+  changes. Use it on a report of stale or wrong output after an edit (HMR serving old code, a split that ignores a
+  changed dependency, a dev/build mismatch): if `all` fixes it, an invalidation is missing; bisect with the single
+  names to find the cache, then reproduce in `tests/cache.test.ts` or `tests/pipeline.test.ts`.
+- `TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1`: every cache owner (the compiler caches, the router and Start host sessions with their
+  import-protection and server-function state, the route generator) registers a reader of its entry counts and
+  approximate bytes in a process-global registry, held through a `WeakRef` so it retains nothing. Read it in the same
+  process with `compilerStats()` from `@tanstack/router-utils/compiler` (e.g. a temporary
+  `setInterval(() => console.log(compilerStats()), 10_000)` in the bundler config); the raw registry is
+  `globalThis[Symbol.for('tanstack.compiler.stats')]` when the package is not importable from the app. Use it on a
+  report of dev-server memory growth: counts that grow with edits rather than with the module set point at the leaking
+  cache. `TSR_COMPILER_STATS_BYTES=0` skips the byte estimates (structured-clone sizes, slow on large caches).

the reason instead, or point to the compiler README / SPEC. The oracle docs

Subject: [PATCH 1109/1425] docs(router-utils): explain comments without citing
 internal design notes

Core comments and test names cited design sections, rulings, lanes and review
ids that are not in the repository; state the reason, point to the compiler
README, or cite the SPEC clause instead.

Subject: [PATCH 1110/1425] docs(start-plugin-core): explain comments without
 citing internal design notes

Comments and test names cited design sections, rulings and notes that are not
in the repository; state the reason, point to the compiler README, or cite the
SPEC clause instead.

Subject: [PATCH 1111/1425] perf(router-utils): cheaper per-module compile
 work, same outputs

Lazy plan fingerprint (only the Rsbuild session reads it), edge keys as a
digest of the joined fields, process.env read once at module scope,
stringLiteral fast path, numeric clusterReads memo, revision() once per
request, canonicalJson in loops, identity env emission without a map
(every host passes an unchanged env module through), hit validation and
snapshot validation with Promise.all. Tier 0 reads import/export bindings
from Yuku's module records (no node index for Tier-0-only modules); purity
skips the callee reference lookup when no callee is declared pure.

Subject: [PATCH 1113/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): bound the
 import-protection path memo
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two generations of 4,096 ids instead of a Map that only grew (ids of
deleted files stayed for the session). A miss costs ~0.3 µs, a hit ~0.03 µs,
so the memo stays; it now holds at most 8,192 ids.

Subject: [PATCH 1114/1425] test(router-plugin): import app files by the URL
 the dev server gives at import time

The page harness snapshotted the `?t=` stamps of the app's files before the
page ran and `app(file)` preferred that snapshot. When the previous route's
reference module imported a file the new one imports only from a chunk, Vite
prunes the file while the page loads the new route module and gives it a new
HMR time, which the chunk then imports by: two URLs, two instances of the
file (the module-state rows of pages/known-bugs-code-splitter with
`calls === 0`). The page now asks the dev server for the current URL at
import time (`/__route-app__/stamped`), after the URL it already requested
the module by; the snapshot is gone.

The row failed only through the page harness's stale `?t=` snapshot; it
passes with the harness fix (10/10 whole-file runs under load, 5/5 with
COMPILER_TESTS_PINS=run), so it joins the ordinary rows.

Subject: [PATCH 1117/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin a route's first server
 fn breaking its component chunk's hot update on Rsbuild

On Start's Rsbuild dev server, an edit that adds `createServerFn` to a
code-split route whose page is open fails when the server fn is used by
the component: Rspack's `splitChunks` (its default cache groups on Start's
`chunks: 'async'` client) moves the gained `node_modules` modules into a
new async chunk, and the hot update of the already loaded component chunk
re-executes the route's component module before anything loads that chunk
(`Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'call')`). Upstream
(Rspack's HMR runtime, web-infra-dev/rspack#11324, #11922): a plain
Rsbuild app without any TanStack code fails the same way, so the test is
a `.fails` pin. A loader-only edit works (the loader chunk loads only when
the loader runs), and so does the same component edit when the client
entry already imports a server fn (no new chunk): both are regular tests.

+ * A route module's first server fn on Start's Rsbuild dev server: an edit

+ * on the page as a hot update (SPEC J3.1, J3.3, G10). Found by Lane F's
+ * soak replay. Known bug, upstream (Rspack's HMR runtime, KNOWN-BUGS
+ * "Upstream issues"): when the modules the route's component chunk gained
+ * land in a new async chunk (Rspack's default `defaultVendors` cache group
+ * on Start's `chunks: 'async'` client), the hot update of the already
+ * loaded component chunk re-executes the route's component module, which
+ * requires them before anything loads the new chunk (`Cannot read
+ * properties of undefined (reading 'call')`; web-infra-dev/rspack#11324,
+ * #11922). A plain Rsbuild app fails the same way. A loader-only edit works
+ * (the loader chunk loads only when the loader runs), and so does the same
+ * component edit when the client entry already imports a server fn (the
+ * runtime is in the entry chunk: no new chunk).

Subject: [PATCH 1122/1425] ci(compiler-platforms): install Chromium and the
 Start packages the compiler tiers need

The fast tier runs its client checks in a headless Chromium (route-app.ts), which no runner had ("Executable doesn't exist" on Windows, macOS, Linux arm64 and Alpine); start-plugin-core's unit tier depends on the Solid and Vue Start builds, which the install filter left out ("Cannot find package 'vitest'" loading their vite.config.ts).

Install Playwright's Chromium (with its Linux dependencies) and the react/solid/vue Start packages. Alpine has no Playwright build: install the distribution's Chromium and name it through TANSTACK_COMPILER_TESTS_CHROMIUM, which the browser helper passes as executablePath.

Subject: [PATCH 1123/1425] test(router-generator): compare fixture paths in
 their native real form (Windows)

On the Windows runners os.tmpdir() is an 8.3 short name (C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...), while fs.promises.realpath reports long names (C:\Users\runneradmin\...): 225 generator tests failed with "No fixture inputs recorded for ...". The run directory now uses realpathSync.native, and the consumer-inputs registry canonicalises recorded roots and looked-up files the same way.

Subject: [PATCH 1124/1425] fix(examples): put the router plugin before the
 framework plugin in the router-monorepo examples

The branch's compiler plugin checks the plugin order in every mode (main only did with autoCodeSplitting on), so these six library builds failed with "Plugin order error: '@vitejs/plugin-react' is placed before '@tanstack/router-plugin'".

Subject: [PATCH 1125/1425] fix(router-plugin): skip external imports in the
 end-of-build eager-export report

A library build (build.lib, external dependencies) lists the external packages among a chunk's imports; the walk from the entry chunk dereferenced them as chunks and failed the build with "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'modules')" (the router-monorepo examples once their plugin order was fixed).

Subject: [PATCH 1126/1425] test(router-plugin,start-plugin-core): run the
 compiler tiers alone and size their workers to the machine

On the Nx Cloud agents (--parallel=3) the router-plugin integration tier took 405-438 s at 4 workers against its 80 s hard limit and 47 tests hit their 30 s / 10 s timeouts; the fast tier took 62 s against 10 s. Each tier starts four Vitest workers with Vite dev servers and Chromium pages. Mark the tiers parallelism: false (as test:e2e is) and use min(4, max(1, cpus / 2)) workers.

Subject: [PATCH 1127/1425] test(router-plugin,router-generator): tolerate the
 browser's favicon request and slow CI runners

Alpine's distribution Chromium (a full browser, not Playwright's headless shell) requests /favicon.ico, which no test app serves; the page harness reported it as a failed module. The generator's fast tier timed out at Vitest's default 5 s on the macOS arm64 runner (a generator run plus a Vite load per test): 15 s.

Subject: [PATCH 1128/1425] fix(router-plugin): check the Vite plugin order
 only with autoCodeSplitting, as before

Main ran the plugin-order check in the code-splitter plugin, so only with
`autoCodeSplitting` on; the single compiler plugin ran it in every mode and
failed the router-monorepo example builds (`react()` before
`tanstackRouter()`, splitting off). Without splitting, route HMR works
whatever the order: the HMR block is appended to what the framework plugin
emitted. Verified on a real page (integration/route-hmr-browser-plugin-
order.test.ts): with the framework plugin first and splitting off, an edit
of a named or inline React component shows in place keeping its state, a
Solid edit shows in place, no warning; with splitting on, the dev server
refuses to start. The six example reorders are reverted: main's order builds
again, and the example builds of the PR workflow cover the restored gate.

Subject: [PATCH 1129/1425] test(compiler-test-utils,router-generator): link
 the test apps' node_modules with symbolic links, not junctions (Windows)

pnpm links workspace packages on Windows with relative directory symbolic
links where it may create them (the CI runners). Windows resolves a
relative symbolic link reached through a junction against the junction's
own path, not its target's, so through the junctions the harnesses made
to the packages' `node_modules`, `@tanstack/react-router` led nowhere:
`existsSync` was false and Node's, Vite's and the optimizer's resolvers
all missed it ("Cannot find module '@tanstack/react-router'" in the
generator's consumer runs; the dev servers served the router package raw
with its CommonJS dependency, after "Failed to resolve dependency ...
present in optimizeDeps.include"). Verified in a diagnostic run of the
Compiler Platforms workflow: a directory symbolic link resolves, a
junction does not, on either drive. `linkDirectory` makes a symbolic
link and falls back to a junction where the process may not (where pnpm
falls back too, so its own links are absolute).

Subject: [PATCH 1130/1425] fix(router-plugin): keep root route options in the
 root module

Root routes are not split, as on main: their component, errorComponent and
notFoundComponent stay in the root route module in every env and bundler.
Splitting them added a lazy round trip to every not-found and error render on
the server, and the manifest preloaded the chunk on every page anyway. The
J2.7 goal pin goes back to a known-bug pin.

 - Route HMR keeps split components' lazy wrappers across updates in React, Solid and Vue, refreshes edits of split loaders and other non-component options on Rspack and webpack, and needs no framework plugin for `.ts` route modules.

Subject: [PATCH 1131/1425] fix(e2e-utils): space successive writes of one file
 past the watcher's change throttle

Vite's chokidar drops a second `change` of the same path within 50 ms of
the previous one, and the compiler is now fast enough that an HMR spec's
next edit landed inside that window (hmr "publishes a failed route refresh
and accepts the next HMR update", "multiple HMR saves"): the edit never
reached the bundler. The file editor spaces writes of one file by 100 ms.

Subject: [PATCH 1132/1425] fix(start-plugin-core,router-plugin): position
 loader diagnostics as (file:line:col) like the Vite host

The Rsbuild/webpack hosts ended their messages with `\n    at file:line:col`,
which the Rsbuild error overlay spec (and its readers) could not position;
both now use the Vite host's `message (file:line:col)` form. The overlay
spec's line parser reads that form too, with the same assertions.

Subject: [PATCH 1133/1425] fix(router-utils): drop a pure function-local class
 only erased code read; test the core's small modules

`cleanOrphanedDeclarations` asked `isPureExpression` about a class
declaration, which only knows class expressions, so such a class never
left with its erased reader; it now asks `isPureClass`. Adds unit tests
for `WarningLedger`, the string/identifier helpers, parse diagnostics and
expression wrappers, export summaries and their digest, and the orphan
cleanup's multi-declarator and lazy declaration paths.

Subject: [PATCH 1135/1425] test(router-generator): match the fixture inputs
 against Vite's forward-slash ids (Windows)

The consumer's resolve and transform hooks compared Vite's module ids
(forward slashes on every platform) with the recorded inputs' native paths
(backslashes on Windows), so no fixture module was ever recognised there:
every route's file was null and no import edge was recorded.

Subject: [PATCH 1136/1425] test(router-plugin): give the imported-options
 route a dev server of its own

The compiler reports an unsplit route once per dev server; on the Alpine
runner the second test reused the host that compiled the route for the
first one, so its diagnostics window held no warning ("0 of 0").

Subject: [PATCH 1137/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): path-separator-agnostic
 import-protection tests and harness graph walks (Windows)

The Windows failures of the start-plugin-core unit tier (Compiler Platforms
run 40324307091) were path-form assumptions of the tests and their harness:
- reporting: map files are host ids, absolute in the platform's form
  (D:/app/... on Windows); the fixtures use such a root.
- edge-modules: Rspack edge-module ids are forward-slash paths; compared
  with the native temp directory.
- planner: the in-memory host keyed package.json reads by forward-slash
  paths while the product joins native ones.
- start-host/render graph walks: Vite's module graph keys files by
  forward-slash paths; the native case file found no module, so
  serverLoads() was empty (and client graph loads checked nothing).

Product fix: import protection decoded file:// map sources with the URL's
pathname (/D:/... on Windows); use fileURLToPath (test + changeset).

Subject: [PATCH 1138/1425] test(compiler-test-utils,start-plugin-core): ignore
 the browser's favicon 404; bound the dev-edit page runs

Full Chromium (Alpine's) requests /favicon.ico, which the test apps do not
serve; its console 404 failed serveCase's 'no page errors' check
(reproduced locally with Playwright's full Chromium, 1 run in 3). The
console filter matches the message's URL, so a module's 404 still counts.

The start-compiler-factories dev-edit tests timed out at 30 s on Alpine
once (1.3 s in the green run): a wait that never ended, not a slow
runner. Their page steps were raw Playwright calls with no bound below the
test's, so the failure named nothing. They now go through the host's page
runs (bounded, page errors and console reported, navigation retried after
the dev server is idle), and a fresh run's reload is bounded too.

Subject: [PATCH 1139/1425] test(router-plugin): give the exported-component
 split-or-report cases a dev server of their own

The compiler reports an unsplit option once per (file, reason) and dev
server (J2.19); the shared hosts' routes share one route file, so another
test's earlier report on the same host hid this one's (failed in the full
integration tier, passes alone). As the imported-options route and this
file's errorComponent cases already do: fresh: true.

Subject: [PATCH 1140/1425] fix(router-plugin): keep route CSS imports in the
 route module (R63)

Bare style imports of a route module stay in the route module whether or
not its components are split, as on main. Removes the route-split home
rule that moved them into the component chunks and the core's
isStyleImport unit flag it alone used.

-- A route's CSS import loads with its split component chunks when every component option the route defines is split; otherwise it stays in the route module.
 - Route HMR keeps split components' lazy wrappers across updates in React, Solid and Vue, refreshes edits of split loaders and other non-component options on Rspack and webpack, and needs no framework plugin for `.ts` route modules.
 - Production output is decided by the bundler's mode and is identical with `addHmr: false`.
 - Rspack and webpack use the plugin's own loader: source maps compose with earlier loaders and name the route file (#6667, #3828); project paths with `'`, `#` or spaces work (#7754). Rspack/webpack no longer rebuild every environment once after the first watch build.

Subject: [PATCH 1144/1425] perf(router-utils): index plans and raw facts by
 path for invalidation

`invalidate()` ran two linear scans per changed file and per environment:
`PlanCache.keysAt` over every plan and in-flight attempt, and
`RawFactsCache.markStale`/`forget` over every raw-facts entry, calling
`identify()` on each (~1.25 ms per shared-module edit in the large React
Start app, growing with the app). Both now keep a path index maintained
where entries are published, begun and retired. A plain change also no
longer re-resolves the dependents' resolution fingerprints through the
bundler: the file set is unchanged, so the resolver's answers stand, as
plan validation already assumes at an unchanged fileSetVersion.

 - `invalidate(caches, change, hosts)` is **the** invalidation operation: hosts call it per file change/add/unlink; it

Subject: [PATCH 1145/1425] fix(start-plugin-core,vue-start): dev cold start
 hydrates without a stranded page or a reload

Start pre-bundled `@tanstack/<framework>-router/hmr` on its own while the
framework plugins exclude the router package from optimization: every
compiled route module imported an optimized chunk deep in the client
entry's graph, and when a post-scan re-optimization committed before the
browser fetched it, the request got 504 "Outdated Optimize Dep", the graph
never evaluated, the dev client (imported by the dev client entry) never
connected, and Vite's buffered full reload was never delivered (Vue Start
medium: 12 of 14 cold starts stranded). The subpath is served from source
with the rest of the excluded package now (one instance of the HMR state).

Vue Start also re-optimized and reloaded on every cold start: the scanner
never sees `@tanstack/vue-store` behind the excluded router package, and
once discovered it re-chunks the pre-bundled `vue`. Declared through
`optimizeDeps.include` as React Start does for `@tanstack/react-store`.
Cold start: 10.5 s (main) / 19.4 s (before) -> 3.3 s, no reload. Adds a
cold-start integration test (Vue, with React as control) on a fresh
dependency cache, and `framework: 'vue'` to the Start dev-server harness.

+Vite dev: Start no longer pre-bundles `@tanstack/<framework>-router/hmr` on its own (the router package is excluded from optimization, so the subpath is served from source with it); pre-bundling it made a cold-start re-optimization strand the first page load (504 "Outdated Optimize Dep", no hydration, no reload). Vue Start declares `@tanstack/vue-router > @tanstack/vue-store` for the optimizer, like React Start does for `@tanstack/react-store`, so a cold start no longer reloads the page once. The compiler's plan cache finds a changed file's plans through a path index instead of scanning every plan on every hot update.

Subject: [PATCH 1147/1425] fix(start-plugin-core,router-plugin): release a
 finished environment's compiler state in production builds

A build of several environments (client, ssr, then nitro or rsc) kept every
finished environment's plans and import-protection state until the whole
build ended (#8794). The environment's logical build owns the release:
Start's Vite builder.build wrapper after the import-protection fixed point
(a written, non-watch build; plugin-rsc's write:false scans build again),
the Rsbuild compiler's last done pass outside watch mode, and router-plugin's
Vite closeBundle. The core's releaseEnvironment drops the environment's
plan cache; what later environments read (raw facts, server-fn registry
and snapshots, id allocator, warnings) stays.

+- `releaseEnvironment(caches, env)` is the end of an environment's lifetime: a production build releases an

 - Not cached: resolutions (storing them cost more than it saved; each compile records its answers in its ledger; validation asks the environment's
   resolver again only once a file appeared or disappeared since the plan's resolutions were validated,
   `CompilerCaches.fileSetVersion`) and emitted outputs (emission from a frozen recipe costs microseconds).

+Production builds release an environment's compiler state as soon as that environment is built, instead of keeping every finished environment's state until the whole build ends. A build of several environments (client, SSR, then a server or RSC environment) no longer grows its heap with each one (#8794).

Subject: [PATCH 1149/1425] perf(router-plugin,start-plugin-core): an unchanged
 route registry notifies no subscriber

Every watcher event re-published the generator's registry, the same Map
when no route changed, and each `onRoutesChanged` subscriber compared the
whole registry with itself: O(routes) per edit of any file (~0.14 ms per
shared-module edit on the 1,485-route harness app). The generator replaces
its registry when a route changes, so the same registry again is no change.

subscribers' module ids are); the test expected `path.join`'s, which use
backslashes on Windows.

Subject: [PATCH 1152/1425] test(start-plugin-core): a fresh host page run
 opens a new page instead of reloading

After a dev edit, the server sends the host's page a full reload, which
Vite's HMR client applies 20 ms later (debounced), after `settle()` has
returned. The fresh run's own `page.reload()` raced it: aborted
(net::ERR_ABORTED), detached ("Not attached to an active page"), or left a
document whose import never settled (the Alpine CI failure of "dev:
editing a factory module recompiles its importers"). Reproduced with
Alpine 3.22's Chromium 142 and musl Node 24.8 on 4 CPUs under load (4 of
24 runs; the full-reload frame arrived 24 ms before the harness's reload);
0 of 24 with a new page.

Subject: [PATCH 1153/1425] test(router-plugin): import the registry
 publication test's plugin from src

The test imported `@tanstack/router-plugin/context` and `/vite`, the
package's own built entries, but `test:unit` depends only on its
dependencies' builds: on CI the test ran before the package's build (its
dist restored from the remote cache) had finished, and the self-reference
found no dist. Locally an earlier build's dist answered it. The unit tests
import the plugin from `src`, as the others do.

Subject: [PATCH 1154/1425] test(start-plugin-core): measure the environment
 release in a process of its own

The release test reads the process-global compiler stats, summed over every
live session. In the `integration` project (`isolate: false`), an earlier
file of the same worker (rsbuild/dev-server.test.ts, which enables the same
stats knob) leaves its Rsbuild dev session alive after its server closed:
Rspack's native binding holds the closed compiler's last compilation
through a global handle (GC roots > global handles > JsCompilation >
Compilation > Compiler > Start's transformer > session), so the probe counted
that session's 107 plans and 2 import-protection environments on top of the
build's released client. Reproduced with one worker and that file order; the
host's release is not at fault.

The file now runs in project `integration-alone` (`isolate: true`, a new
process per file), which `test:integration` runs too.

Found by the real-app differential corpus (dmjkbrown-virtualstagingiom/virtualstagingiomNetlify,

Subject: [PATCH 1156/1425] fix(router-utils): a later effect moving to the
 same chunk does not pin an effectful declaration

R31 (d) blocks an effectful cluster's move only on an effect that survives in the
route module after it. The movable test counted later clusters that move too, so
with N effectful declarations only the split component reads, the first N-1
stayed eager (exported, imported back by the chunk). Moves are now decided per
env-roots round from the final placement, last item first: a later effect moving
to the same output evaluates after it there in source order and does not block;
one staying in the env module or moving to another output still does. The set is
recomputed every round (and after the extracted-exports decision) instead of
accumulating stale entries.

Subject: [PATCH 1157/1425] test: effect order of effectful declarations moving
 with a split component or a handler

Extends the differential-corpus case: an effect staying in the route module, a
declaration the route module also reads, and a later declaration moving to
another chunk keep the earlier ones eager (their effects run in source order);
a server fn file's declarations only the handler reads run once, in order, on
the server and not on the client.

Subject: [PATCH 1158/1425] fix(router-utils): decide extracted exports over
 the final env module

An exported declaration moved into its own module is re-exported by the route
module, so one eagerly reading a binding the route module keeps evaluated
before that binding existed (TDZ). The check read the env liveness from before
other candidates were cancelled and before effectful declarations a chunk
needs were rooted in the route module; it now repeats with the extracted
outputs, the moves and those roots until no candidate is cancelled.

Subject: [PATCH 1159/1425] fix(router-utils): keep the `;` a statement
 starting with `(` relies on

Semicolon-free code writes `;(x as any).y = 1`: the `;` ends the previous
statement. Dropping that statement in the env module, or emitting the
statement after another one in a derived output, glued the two into a call.
Such a statement now gets a `;` of its own wherever its source predecessor
does not render intact before it.

Subject: [PATCH 1161/1425] test(router-plugin): a page-only effectful
 declaration moves even when the route module uses its import

Found by the real-app differential corpus (thenishantsapkota/streamly, routes/index.tsx): SERIES_ROWS and
ANIME_ROWS (arrays of apiQuery(...) only the page reads) stay in the route module because apiQuery is also
called by declarations the loader keeps; main moves them (+981 B initial on the PR). DESIGN R31 (c) only allows
the move for import specifiers used by no other output. Fails at 861d7d7663 (rule (c) untouched there).

Subject: [PATCH 1162/1425] fix(router-utils): move an effectful declaration
 whose import code that stays also reads; check effects after its first effect

R64: an effectful cluster is no longer pinned in the route module because an
import it reads is also read by code that stays or by another chunk: the chunk
loads after the route module, so the import is initialised and reading it
lazily changes nothing (main moves it too). Reading a non-pure module binding
still keeps it eager.

R65: (d) looks at the surviving effects after the cluster's first effectful
unit, not after its last item: `Page.a = eff1(); log(); Page.b = eff2()` keeps
`Page` and its augmentations eager instead of running `log` before `eff1`. A
later declarator of the same statement now counts too. Moves are the greatest
fixed point (drop blocked clusters until none is dropped), and the env-roots
loop runs until no root is added instead of stopping after ten rounds.

Subject: [PATCH 1163/1425] test: effect order of effectful clusters moving
 with a split component or a handler (R64, R65)

router-plugin: a component whose augmentations an effect separates stays with
the effect in source order; a declarator before a later one of its statement
that stays; a declaration another one reads stays with it; interleaved
declarations and augmentations move together in order; a chain of
declarations moving to two chunks keeps the earlier ones eager. Start: a
handler's declarations and augmentations next to a kept declaration calling
the same import run in source order on the server and the client; the handler
case records client effects before a call loads the module in the page.

Subject: [PATCH 1164/1425] test(start-plugin-core): a server fn handler's
 server-only imports load on the first call in SSR

Found by the real-app differential corpus (lbogerd/tictaak-start): with the handler kept in place in the SSR
output (DESIGN 3.10.4), the database module a route file's server fn handlers import loads with the route
tree; it throws without DATABASE_URL, so every page answers 500 on the PR while main renders (307 to login).
Fails at 861d7d7663 (before: true). Candidate: the architect decides whether this is a regression or an
accepted, documented behaviour change.

Subject: [PATCH 1165/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): load server fn handlers on
 the first call, without running their module twice

In the in-place provider (SSR), each server fn's handler moves into one
derived handler module per defining module (`?tss-serverfn-handler`),
loaded through one memoised loader on the first call, direct or over HTTP.
What only handlers read moves with them (route splitting's placement);
everything the module itself needs stays and is imported back, so nothing
evaluates twice. Handlers stay in place when they write state the module
reads, or when the module awaits at its top level. Nested (hoisted) server
fns move too. Derived ids keep a trailing `lang.*` query key last, so the
handler module of a Vue SFC block is still TypeScript.

Subject: [PATCH 1166/1425] fix(router-utils): move an effectful declaration
 reading a const the route module keeps (R67)

An effectful cluster may read a module binding the route module keeps when it
is a const no code in the module writes a member of: it evaluated before the
chunk loads, and the chunk imports that one instance (main shares it through
a ?tsr-shared module). Member writes (assignment, update, delete, destructuring
and for-in/of targets, mutating methods, Object.assign-style calls) anywhere in
the module pin it, as does a let.

Subject: [PATCH 1167/1425] test(start-plugin-core): handler modules load on
 the first call in Vite and Rsbuild dev, Vue SFC builds

Vite dev: concurrent first calls (direct and over HTTP) load a handler's
slow server-only module once; an edit of a module the server fn module and
its handler share reaches both without a full reload. Rsbuild dev: a
handler's server-only module loads on the first call and an edit of it
reaches the next call without a full reload. Vue: the server-only module of
a handler in a `<script lang="ts">` block is not loaded with the SFC.

The dev server still answers such a call and warns once per function.
 - `serverFns.generateFunctionId` receives the server function's stable key (its export or variable name, e.g. `greetUser`) as `functionName`, instead of the generated handler name (`greetUser_createServerFn_handler`). Custom generators keyed on the old names must be updated.
 - Default production ids are shorter (22 characters).
-- Server functions are recognised by binding through re-exports, namespaces, aliases, user factories and stored builders, whatever the code formatting (#7280). With SSR as the provider the handler stays in its module (one instance) and server-side callers call it directly (#7213, #8731). `createServerOnlyFn(...)` passed to `.handler()` works (#8446).

+- Server functions are recognised by binding through re-exports, namespaces, aliases, user factories and stored builders, whatever the code formatting (#7280). With SSR as the provider a server function's module evaluates once and server-side callers call it directly (#7213, #8731); the modules only its handlers import still load on the first call, like before, without running the module's code again (a handler that writes state its module reads, or one in a module that awaits at its top level, loads with its module). `createServerOnlyFn(...)` passed to `.handler()` works (#8446). Nested server functions are hoisted on the server when safe.
 - Client middleware sees only the server function's id during SSR, as in the browser.
 - Vite `bundledDev`: lazy dependencies load, edits no longer crash the hot update, and SSR reflects edits (#8407, #8062, #7535).

Subject: [PATCH 1169/1425] fix(router-plugin): declare each split importer
 right before its first reader
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A minifier (Oxc via Rolldown) inlines a single-use `const` only when no
effectful statement separates it from its use. The importer was emitted
after the imports, so an effectful declaration the route module keeps
before `Route` (e.g. `const q = { a: apiQuery(…) }`, read by the loader and
the split component) kept it as a separate binding in minified bundles.
Anchor it before the statement holding its group's first placeholder.

Subject: [PATCH 1170/1425] test(start-plugin-core): a Solid Start route edit
 that fixes a component that threw in the browser shows

Found by the real-app differential corpus (thomascarter613/bun-monorepo, Solid Start template; signature T1): a
component in the document shell throws in the browser, so the router's global catch boundary holds the error. On
main a route edit full-reloads and shows; with route HMR the edit hot-updates, the boundary resets and re-renders the
root match, whose shellComponent renders `<html>`, which Solid cannot render outside hydration ("template is not a
function"): no route edit shows until a manual reload. Fails at eedc638e42 (SPEC J3.3). Candidate: the architect
decides whether to fix in solid-router (shell outside the global boundary) or accept.

Subject: [PATCH 1171/1425] test(start-plugin-core): the Solid Start
 fix-after-throw edit test waits for the throw only

What the page shows after the component threw is the router's business (the server's HTML, or an error component
once the global boundary renders inside the document), so the test no longer waits for the server-rendered text.

Subject: [PATCH 1172/1425] fix(router-core): reload on a route update after a
 router boundary caught a render error

Route HMR (R70): after a render error reaches the global catch boundary, a
route update hot-updated and reset it, which re-renders the root match's
document (Solid cannot client-render a hydratable <html>: "template is not a
function"; React and Vue lose the root after an error during hydration); and
Solid's and Vue's route boundaries do not reset when the fixed component swaps
in. No route edit showed until a manual reload (diff corpus T1). The adapters'
development-only onCatch now marks the router (`_hmrReload`, @internal, not in
the published types) and applyRouteHmr / applyRouteChunkHmr reload the page
instead, as main does for Solid route edits. React's route boundaries recover
in place (React Refresh retries them) and stay unmarked.

The Solid-only known-bug test becomes start-dev-route-error-recovery.test.ts,
covering React, Solid and Vue.

-Add the development-only route HMR runtime used by the router plugin's output, on new `/hmr` subpaths (`@tanstack/router-core/hmr`, `@tanstack/{react,solid,vue}-router/hmr`). It updates the live route in place, keeps each split component's lazy wrapper across updates, and with Vite's bundled dev falls back to the original importer when Rolldown throws `MissingFactoryError`. An update patches only the route its module exported, so another router in the same window (module federation) is left alone (#7921). After the route tree is regenerated (a route added or renamed), updates keep reaching the route the rebuilt tree holds. Nothing of it reaches production bundles.
+Add the development-only route HMR runtime used by the router plugin's output, on new `/hmr` subpaths (`@tanstack/router-core/hmr`, `@tanstack/{react,solid,vue}-router/hmr`). It updates the live route in place, keeps each split component's lazy wrapper across updates, and with Vite's bundled dev falls back to the original importer when Rolldown throws `MissingFactoryError`. An update patches only the route its module exported, so another router in the same window (module federation) is left alone (#7921). After the route tree is regenerated (a route added or renamed), updates keep reaching the route the rebuilt tree holds. In development, once a router error boundary has shown an error, later route edits reload the page, as without route HMR, so the edit that fixes the error shows (Solid and Vue: any router error boundary; React: only the global boundary, since React Refresh recovers route boundaries in place). Nothing of it reaches production bundles.

Subject: [PATCH 1173/1425] fix(router-utils): decide env roots, movable
 clusters and extraction in one fixed point

An effectful cluster the env module keeps for a derived output (orphaned by
an env erasure, not movable) was rooted only after homes were assigned, so
R31 (d) had been decided against a moving set that no longer held: an
earlier initialiser could move to the chunk and evaluate after one the
fixup pulled back. The extraction decision ran after the env roots were
frozen, so a cluster two chunks reached only through a candidate could
never move into the extracted output.

One monotone loop now owns env roots, the moving set and the extraction
candidates; a cluster orphaned by us is skipped only when no derived output
needs it, and the post-home repair is a dev-only invariant check.

Subject: [PATCH 1174/1425] refactor(router-utils): one owner for claim
 overrides, fallback lookups, member writes and ASI

An edit addressed to every output on exactly a claimed region now nests
inside the claim and travels with the region into its owner; only an edit
scoped to the output replaces the placeholder there. start-env no longer
buffers its isomorphic/env-only rewrites of lazy handlers to re-emit them
scoped to the handler module.

PlanContext.fallbackAt replaces three hand-written range matchers; one
writeTargets table defines which operand a construct writes for both the
R67 member-write classification and top-level augmentation units; one
needsLeadingSemicolon helper serves the env and derived render paths.

Subject: [PATCH 1175/1425] refactor(start-plugin-core): one final-build
 predicate and one registry publication guard

isFinalBuild (beside releaseEnvironment) decides for both Vite hosts when
an environment's production build is its last; the Rsbuild route generator
publishes through the router-plugin context instead of its own copy of the
dedupe guard and the changed-paths computation. The generator documents
the identity contract the guard relies on.

Subject: [PATCH 1177/1425] perf(router-utils): keep the consolidated placement
 and claim rules allocation-free on hot paths

Derived reach is recomputed only when a reached cluster became an env root
or a candidate was cancelled; the claim-nesting check compares against the
few claim ranges numerically; writesMember pre-filters call arguments and
the write-target table returns a shared empty list. Compile-all parity with
head (4 interleaved rounds).

Subject: [PATCH 1178/1425] test(start-plugin-core): cover nested server fn
 refusals, id paths, top-level for await, sideEffects lists, Hydrate
 new.target

Public-API tests for branches neither the oracle nor the diff corpus reached:
the four hoist refusals of a nested server fn, the #n disambiguation and the
name paths of server-fn ids, the top-level `for await` that keeps handlers
eager, import protection's `sideEffects` list classification (reported only
for listed files), and the <Hydrate> new.target rejection.

Subject: [PATCH 1179/1425] test(router-plugin): cover writer fallbacks and
 namespace-imported route factories

A let the loader reads and the split component reassigns, two split options
writing one binding (two chunks and one chunk), an option value reading a
binding later top-level code reassigns: one binding, unsplit values, split or
warned (J2.8). A route created through `Router.createFileRoute` splits.

Subject: [PATCH 1181/1425] fix(router-utils): keep what an extracted export's
 module would read before the route module initialises it

The env module re-exports an extracted exported component's module statically, so that module and
what it imports evaluate before the env module's body. A declaration moved there because only that
export needed it read a binding the env module keeps through the cycle, before its initialisation
("Cannot access 'Model' before initialization"; an enum read `undefined.A`), and an effectful
declaration moved there ran before every effect of the env module.

Two rules in the placement fixed point: a declaration cluster an extracted-export output reaches
that reads, at its evaluation, a non-copyable cluster the env module keeps becomes an env root (the
extracted module imports it); an effectful cluster moves to an extracted-export output only when no
surviving effect precedes it in source order (the static counterpart of R31 (d)).

Found by differential fuzzing against main's compiler.

Subject: [PATCH 1182/1425] refactor: drop compiler code no input can reach

Core planner-facing members with no caller anywhere and never executed by
the oracle, noncompiler tiers or the diff corpus: RefIndex.isSelfRef,
JsxInfo.hasJsx, Tier1.functionOwning, Tier1.orphanedLocals,
ModuleAnalysis.hasTier1, ValueAnalysis.valueOfBindingNode,
RenderTree.regionTable.

Start: the <Hydrate> `for await` check (a statement in the children always
sits in a function or class body, where it is allowed) and the
describeServerFn JSXAttribute case (an attribute's value is its expression
container, never the chain). Client bytes unchanged in all 18 scenarios.

Subject: [PATCH 1184/1425] refactor(start-plugin-core): drop Rsbuild support
 for a server-fn provider environment other than ssr

Every Rsbuild adapter serves server fns from ssr (RSC layers the provider
into the same environment), so the third environment, its compiler entry,
dependency wiring, provider overrides and the providerEnvironmentName
option were unreachable.

Subject: [PATCH 1187/1425] fix(router-utils): keep imports a route module
 never read

An import specifier now follows the same provenance rule as declarations:
it leaves an output only when our edits orphaned it (its readers were
moved or erased). A specifier the source never reads stays in the route
module, so its module still evaluates there, as it does without the
plugin; a mixed statement keeps its unread specifiers when the others
move. A value import a route module only uses in type positions still
leaves it (TypeScript erases it). Split chunks still get only what they
read.

Subject: [PATCH 1188/1425] fix(router-generator): keep __root.tsx the root
 route next to a __root/ directory

With `routes/__root.tsx` and a `routes/__root/route.tsx`, the root route was
the first node with the route path `/__root`. The scan lists entries by name
and the directory `__root` sorts before `__root.tsx`, so the directory's
route file became the tree's root and the app's `__root.tsx` was left out of
the tree without a diagnostic (an empty `__root/route.tsx` was even
scaffolded with the root template). The routes directory's own `__root` file
now wins. Found by the route generator differential fuzzer.

Subject: [PATCH 1189/1425] fix(router-generator): report files of one module
 used for two routes

The route tree imports a route file by its path without the extension
(unless `addExtensions` keeps it). Two routes of a virtual route config on
`x.ts` and `x.tsx` passed the used-once check (two files), but the tree
imported both as `./routes/x`: one `Route` object updated with two ids, and
the router's duplicate route invariant at startup, naming no file. The check
now keys by the imported module and names every file of a module used for
several routes. Found by the route generator differential fuzzer.

Subject: [PATCH 1190/1425] fix(router-generator): only edit the route files
 the tree imports

Every scanned route file was kept up (scaffold, id and constructor fixes)
before the tree model decided which files are routes, so files the tree
leaves out were rewritten as routes: a `__root/route.tsx` beside
`__root.tsx` got the id `/__root` (an empty one was scaffolded), an empty
`__root.lazy.tsx` was scaffolded, an unused duplicate lazy file had its id
fixed. A file's analysis now records the upkeep it needs (`pending`), and
the upkeep is written only for files the built tree imports
(`importedFiles(model)`); a file that joins the tree later gets it then.
Found by the route generator differential fuzzer.

Subject: [PATCH 1191/1425] refactor(router-utils): one predicate per placement
 rule

The placement core had grown copies of its own rules: two "reads what the env
module keeps" predicates (one for an extraction candidate, one for what its
output reaches), two effect-order predicates (one per direction), an import
pin computed from pristine references next to an import drop computed from
final needers (each with a route-module clause, with the TypeScript-only
specifier rules in the plan on top), four scans of the references for the
writes each rule needs, and a planner pre-filter duplicating the core's
extraction-candidate filter.

- `readsKeptEagerly` is the one "reads kept" predicate; `extractable` is
  built on it. The two copies disagreed on copyable targets: the merged
  predicate skips them (the reading output gets its own copy, so there is no
  read through the re-export cycle), which lets an exported declaration that
  reads a copyable constant the route module keeps be extracted (test).
- `effectStays` is the one effect-order predicate: for a lazily imported
  output, a surviving effect after the cluster's first effect that stays
  behind; for a static output, any other surviving effect at all.
- `importStays`, next to the declaration orphans, owns the import rule:
  provenance for value specifiers (an import the source never read stays; one
  our edits orphaned, or read only by a dropped dead pure cluster, leaves;
  type-only use leaves route modules), and the TypeScript-only forms (inline
  `type` specifiers, `export { X }` of a type-only binding) after inclusion,
  following their statement's value specifiers. The plan reads inclusion for
  them instead of its own route-module branches; a vacuous branch of the
  source-edge pass goes.
- One table of top-level writes (assignments, augmentations; live, eager,
  owner) feeds clustering, ordered evaluation and the movable test's two
  mutation checks. Both round caps become plain fixed points: every changed
  round merges two clusters, or copies a cluster into an output, so they end.
- A dev-only check after inclusion: no cluster of an extracted export's
  module reads a non-copyable env-module cluster at its evaluation.
- `sideEffectFree` is computed from the content: an output the planner opted
  in is flagged only when no effectful cluster was placed in it (a cluster
  that moved with its only needer keeps the flag off; test).
- The core's candidate filter is the only one (it gains the per-symbol write
  check the planners had); the router and Hydrate planners allow every local
  value export out.
- `Placement` loses the fields nothing read (`movable`, `orphaned`,
  `needers`, `clusterOfSym`, `readsIn`); the claim sequence base is one
  helper; `MUTATORS`/`isObjectMutator` are module-private; source comments
  and the README state the rules instead of citing design notes; the route
  registry's identity contract is on its type (a read-only snapshot).

Subject: [PATCH 1192/1425] test(react-start-rsc): a server fn nested in a
 function only the split component calls

The `start-env` planner addresses its nested-chain override to the env module
only: a chain inside a function that moves into a split chunk renders the
placeholder there, and the chunk imports the hoisted binding from the provider
module. The row shows why no environment observes it: a derived provider exists
only in the Vite `rsc` environment, whose build input is the rsc entry alone,
so route modules enter its graph as provider outputs (copies) and never as
their env module or split chunks. The page works (the handler runs in the
provider when the browser calls it, its body is in no client file) and the
rsc build holds none of the route's component code. The override's comment
says so; the Rsbuild architecture note no longer describes the deleted
separate provider environment.

facts, which made its importers' plans stale dependents: Start's hotUpdate
hard-invalidated and propagated them, and the route tree (accepted by
nothing) dead-ended into a full reload onto the dev server's error page,
where the fix never showed. The facts the file last parsed to stay until it
parses again, as the generator already does for its own analysis.

Found by the HMR consistency fuzzer. Test: start-plugin-core
start-dev-route-syntax-error.test.ts (root route, another route).

Subject: [PATCH 1194/1425] fix(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): hot updates
 stay in place after a route file's layout changes

Two full reloads the HMR consistency fuzzer found on Vite:

- A derived module of a layout the file no longer has (an extracted export
  once the export went, a split chunk after a `codeSplitGroupings: []`
  round trip) stays in Vite's module graph without importers; the next
  edit of the file hot-updated it and Vite dead-ended into a page reload.
  Both Vite hosts drop such modules from the file's update (`liveModules`).
- Start: a route file gaining an export changed its target facts, the route
  tree re-planned as a dependent and was propagated as a hot module, which
  nothing accepts. A dependent is propagated only when the compiler's
  output changed (`outputDigests`, recorded by the transform hook).

Tests: router-plugin route-hmr-after-split-change.test.ts, start-plugin-core
start-dev-route-split-change.test.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 1195/1425] fix(router-plugin): refresh id of an extracted
 component names its module

The component chunk stamped `$$tsrRefreshId = "<chunk> Name"` on a component
it only re-exports from its extracted-export module, so after a component
became exported (in the same save as a text change) the route HMR runtime
kept the held component, expecting React Refresh to patch it, while
plugin-react had registered the new function in another module: the page
kept the old text. The id's module part is the extracted-export module for
an exported pure declaration (the extraction predicate, hoisted), else the
chunk.

+Dev HMR: a route file that stops parsing keeps its last facts, so its importers (the route tree) no longer hot-update into a full reload onto the dev server's error page; a dependent whose compiled output did not change is not hot-propagated (a route file gaining an export no longer reloads the page); derived modules a file no longer produces (an extracted export after the export went, a split chunk after `codeSplitGroupings: []`) are dropped from the file's hot update instead of dead-ending into a reload; and a React route component moved to its extracted-export module is swapped in (its React Refresh family changed) instead of kept stale.

Subject: [PATCH 1198/1425] fix(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): a file's hot
 update is of the modules its current plan produces

The importer-based rule missed a stale derived module while the chunk still
imported it (the graph's edges change only when the chunk re-imports): Vite
hot-updated the extracted-export module, plugin-react invalidated it
("export removed") against the route update, and the page kept the old text
(flaked in the full integration tier). `liveModules` now transforms the
file's own module first (Vite invalidated it before the hooks ran) and keeps
the derived modules the file's current plan declares; without a plan, one
without importers is stale.

Subject: [PATCH 1199/1425] chore(deps): bump @rsbuild/core to 2.2.14 and
 @rspack/core to 2.2.9

Rspack 2.2.7's MultiCompiler could emit `done` with a child's stale Stats
while that child was compiling again: the RSC Coordinator invalidates the
client compiler from the server's watchRun, and a client compile restarted
by the run graph fired no `invalid` hook (rspack#15865, fixed in 2.2.9).
Rsbuild then saw the client's initial chunks change and sent `full-reload`,
which Start's RSC dev setup ignores (`liveReload: false`), so an edit of a
server component's CSS never reached the page (react-start-rsc
rsc-css-hmr-rsbuild: 4/50 alone, 6/25 under load; 0/125 after the bump).

Rspack 2.2.9's `RuleSetUseItem` admits falsy items: the RSC SWC setup
skips them.

Subject: [PATCH 1200/1425] fix(router-utils, router-plugin): hot updates
 follow the core's extraction decision

Consolidation 2 moved the "pure, unwritten" filter of extracted exports
into the core, so the splitter declares an export output for every
exported binding. With the HMR fuzz fixes that broke two things once a
write (`Page.displayName = ...`) made the core keep an extracted
component in the route module: `liveModules` kept the stale
`?tsr-split=export~Page` (declared, so listed in `plan.outputs`), and the
refresh id named the extracted module while React Refresh registered the
component in the route module. Both left the page on the old text.

- plan.ts: a cancelled extracted-export output is no output of the plan
  (a stale request still emits `export {}`).
- `SymRef` ctx `homeId`: a string literal of the id of the module the
  output takes the binding from, decided by placement. The splitter's
  refresh id uses it instead of guessing the home.

 The Rsbuild RSC setup skips falsy entries of a rule's `use` list (allowed since `@rspack/core` 2.2.9, e.g. `use: [cond && 'x-loader']`) when it enables React Server Components on the SWC loaders, instead of reading them as loaders.

+RSC CSS HMR on Rsbuild needs `@rspack/core` >= 2.2.9: earlier versions can report a stale client build after a server component's CSS edit (web-infra-dev/rspack#15865), so the page keeps the old styles until the next edit. The peer ranges are unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 1202/1425] refactor(router-utils): one mutation model behind
 every placement rule
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The placement core answered "does something write this binding?" four ways
(ordered evaluation: eager writes only; the movable test: own augmentations,
eager writes from outside, member writes of kept consts; the server-fn
hoist: reassignable and any write; the split planner: any write of an
identifier option value) and none for a pure reader, and classified every
read inside a function as lazy, immediately invoked functions included.
Each gap was a wrong value: a pure initialiser of a binding a function
writes moved to the chunk and was recomputed after the write; a snapshot
taken by an IIFE or by a call reading a member of a mutated object moved;
the route unit was declared benign whatever its option values, so an impure
option ran before the declarations above it; a write-only server-only
initialiser shipped to the client; a provider env's env output kept
handler-only initialisers.

- `mutation.ts`: one `MutationModel` per module (`t1.mutation`), built in
  one pass over the classified references: every assignment and member
  write of a binding, eager or lazy. Planners ask `isReassigned` /
  `isMutated`; `RefIndex.writesOf` and the planner-side write scans go.
- `reach.ts`: one table of module-level writes from the model (plus the
  augmentation units) and one predicate, `mutatedOutside(sym, readAt,
  cluster)`: a read observes mutable state when another cluster writes the
  binding after it or at an unknown time. It decides the option-value
  fallback (`ordered-effect`), the movable test's (b) and (c), and a new
  gate for pure clusters (`readsMutableState` → `undecided`): such a reader
  is an env root and chunks import it. `mutatedClusters`,
  `externallyMutated` and `unwrittenConst` are deleted; R67's `let` clause
  stays. Provenance seeds include writes inside erased ranges; a provider
  output does not keep an orphan in the env module (it copies what it
  reaches) and a cluster only providers need is homed in the provider.
- `analysis.ts`: `isLazyAt` follows evaluation (a function that is the
  callee of a call, directly or through `.call`/`.apply`, is eager);
  `inFunctionAt` keeps the scope question for the function-local orphans.
- `plan.ts`: a unit a planner names benign is benign only when every
  argument of its call chain is pure, an object literal judged per property
  with claimed and env-erased values counting as pure. The planner names,
  the core checks.
- The nested server-fn hoist refuses a read of a binding something
  mutates (its read moves to module load).

Tests: core placement rows for every counterexample (all failing before),
router-plugin page rows in a real browser (a chain of writers, a lazy write
of an array literal / static field, an IIFE and a member-reading call, an
impure option value), a Start row for the write-only initialiser and a
provider-env planner row.

+Route code splitting and Start's environment separation decide from one model of what writes a module's bindings. A value computed when the route module loads from a binding some function writes later (`const initial = [n]` next to `function inc() { n++ }`, a snapshot taken by an immediately invoked function, a call reading a member of an object a function mutates) keeps the value the source computed: it stays in the route module and the split chunks import it, instead of being recomputed when the chunk loads. An option value that reads such a binding is kept in place. The route's option values must be pure for declarations only the component reads to move into its chunk: an impure option (`validateSearch: makeSchema()`) now runs after the declarations before it, as in the source. A chain of components each writing a module binding the previous one reads no longer produces a chunk assigning a binding it imports (a `TypeError` at render): re-planning continues until every such option is kept in place. A server-only initialiser that a server function handler only assigns leaves the client with the handler. Nested server functions are no longer hoisted when they read a module binding something mutates. `TSR_COMPILER_VERIFY=1` re-parses every emitted output and fails the compile on a broken one (the test suites set it).

+  of the env module, never duplicated or lost. One model (`mutation.ts`, `t1.mutation`) holds every write of a
+  binding (assignment or member write, eager or lazy, wherever it is), and one predicate answers every rule that
+  asks about it: a read evaluated at module load _observes mutable state_ when something outside the reading
+  cluster writes the binding after it, or at an unknown time (inside a function). Such a reader never moves to a
+  lazy output, pure or not (`const initial = [n]` next to `function inc() { n++ }` keeps the source's `[0]`; an
+  immediately invoked function evaluates at module load and counts as eager); an option value that reads one is
+  kept in place (`ordered-effect`). An effectful, unexported cluster moves with its only needer (lazy
+  initialisation is allowed; within-module order is preserved) when nothing outside it writes it eagerly, it
+  observes no mutable state, its eager reads are imports (read lazily: the chunk loads after the route module),
+  pure clusters or `const`s the route module keeps, and no surviving effect after its first one stays behind (for
+  an extracted export's module, which evaluates _before_ the route module's body, no other surviving effect at all).
+  A recognised framework call a planner names (the route factory chain) is no such effect only when its option
+  values are pure, claimed (relocated) or erased: the core checks, the planner only names it. The env roots, the
+  moving set and the extracted exports are one monotone fixed point: every round recomputes derived reach, env
+  liveness and the moving set (the evaluation-order condition is a greatest fixed point over it), roots the
+  effectful clusters and the readers of mutable state that stay and that some output needs, then cancels extraction
+  candidates the env module keeps or that read, at their evaluation, a binding it keeps (a TDZ through the
+  re-export cycle). Nothing is rooted after homes are assigned (a dev-only check enforces it, and another that no
+  extracted module reads the route module eagerly). When a split would break single-writer or evaluation-order
+  rules, the core reports a _fallback_ (`ctx.fallbackAt(range)` on the next round) and `compileModule` re-runs the
+  planners with that region kept in place, until no new region is reported (a kept region can free the next one;
+  every round keeps one more, so the rounds end within the module's region count). Past that bound every
+  sub-region is kept in place, which is always correct, and a warning (`fallback-rounds-exhausted`) says so;
 - **pre-existing dead code**: a pure declaration cluster nothing reads is kept (code dead before the transform is
   never removed), including a dead pure cycle; the one exception is a dead pure cluster whose reads would pull a

Subject: [PATCH 1203/1425] fix(router-utils): re-plan until no new region
 falls back

Fallbacks were applied for three planning rounds and then the plan was
frozen with whatever the third round reported left unapplied: a chain of
three components each writing a module binding the previous one reads
produced a chunk that assigns a binding it imports (`TypeError: Assignment
to constant variable` when the not-found component renders), silently.
Each round keeps at least one more region of the module in place, so the
rounds continue until no new range is reported and end within the module's
region count; past that bound every sub-region is kept in place (always
correct) and a warning (`fallback-rounds-exhausted`) says so.

Subject: [PATCH 1204/1425] test(router-utils): verify every emitted output
 against the plan's invariants

`TSR_COMPILER_VERIFY=1` (read once; every test run sets it through the shared
run-directory setup and the core's own config) re-parses each emitted output
and fails the compile when an output assigns a binding it imports, a glue
import names nothing its home exports, an output holds text its own edits
erase, a surviving effect statement is emitted other than once across the
outputs that import from the env module (none when placement removed its
cluster), or an extracted export's module reads a binding of the env module
at its evaluation. Unset, it costs one boolean per compile.

Subject: [PATCH 1205/1425] perf(router-utils): cheaper benign check and lazy
 mutable-read cache

The benign check of a named unit looked each option value up by its innermost region; the claimed regions (few per module) are indexed by start offset instead. The per-cluster cache of the mutable-read predicate is allocated only in modules that write a module binding.

Subject: [PATCH 1206/1425] test(router-plugin): unparsed route row uses a
 grammar error SWC 2.2.9 still accepts

Rspack 2.2.9's SWC rejects a class field with both `!` and an initializer,
so the Rspack row's input no longer reaches the compiler's unparsed path.
The same TypeScript error on a variable declaration is still accepted by SWC
and rejected by Yuku.

Subject: [PATCH 1208/1425] perf(router-utils): the mutation model and the
 eagerness test cost nothing on the common module
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- `MutationModel` is a view over the reference index: no pass of its own, no
  site objects; a binding's write sites are filtered on first ask.
- Whether a function is immediately invoked is read off the text in every
  unambiguous case (a callee is followed by `(`, or is the whole content of
  grouping parentheses followed by `(`/`.call(`/`.apply(`); only a `)`, `]`,
  `}` or a comment before the opening parenthesis asks the parents (one
  parent lookup per function scope cost ~3 µs per route module). Rows pin
  the classification.
- The benign check of a named unit is a memoised predicate asked only when
  a cluster could move past the unit; the function-scope test of the
  orphans is built on first use; the planning round is a plain function;
  the per-module maps allocate lazily; the writers loop of the movable test
  is skipped in modules without writes.

Paired A/B of the in-process micro-bench (6 rounds, 20 iterations, mirrored
cores): react/solid × client/ssr from +2…+4.5 % per module to parity on
three workloads and +2 % on react/client (notes: impl-notes-structural.md).

 - Route CSS (`import './x.css'` and other bare style imports) stays in the route module, which the route tree imports
   eagerly, whether or not the route's components are split (fully lazy route CSS needs a router-core asset loader).

Subject: [PATCH 1210/1425] perf(router-utils): one reference shape, mutable
 readers precomputed

`memberWrite` is always present on a classified reference (one object shape for every consumer); the clusters that read mutable state are computed once over the eager live reads of written bindings instead of by scanning every reference of every cluster asked about, and only in modules that write a module binding.

Subject: [PATCH 1211/1425] test(router-utils): an output holds an effect unit
 by any segment from its range

The effect-count check probed the statement's first offset for a slice, which a renamed first token (route HMR renames `page` in `page = connect(page)`) replaces with generated text: the check reported the effect missing and the dev server answered 500 for the route. An output holds a unit when any of its segments comes from the unit's range (a slice, or text mapped there) outside the sub-regions other outputs claim.

Subject: [PATCH 1212/1425] perf(router-utils): placement read caches keyed by
 output and member, not by string

Per-output arrays indexed by member/cluster replace the string-keyed maps of
memberReads/clusterReads (the top line of computePlacement was building and
hashing those keys); the successor clusters of a cluster are cached per output
like its reads; the union-find lives in an Int32Array; regions by range are
indexed on the first retained slice with a numeric key.

Micro-bench (6 paired rounds, head 3bd46fdc2c vs this, identical outputs on
4/4 workloads): per module react client -2.6 %, react ssr -4.0 %, solid client
-4.2 %, solid ssr -3.7 % (every CI below 0).

Subject: [PATCH 1213/1425] perf(router-utils): placement does less bookkeeping

Needers come from the reach sets (one pass over them) instead of a Set per
cluster, orphans from the erased set, the cluster kind from a predicate
instead of a Set of unit kinds, generated reads without intermediate arrays;
the extraction bookkeeping (what derived outputs need, the static-output
readers) runs only when an extraction candidate exists.

Micro-bench (8 paired rounds vs the previous step, identical outputs on 4/4
workloads): per module react client -1.9 %, react ssr -2.9 %, solid client
-1.5 %, solid ssr -1.6 %.

Subject: [PATCH 1214/1425] feat(router-utils): an exported binding leaves with
 its augmentations
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

An extraction candidate no longer has to be pure: its augmentations
(`Page.displayName = …`, static props, `preload`) and an effectful
initialiser travel with it under the effect-order rule of every move. An
effectful candidate joins the moving set of the fixed point with its
extracted output as target, so `effectStays` decides it: for a static output
(evaluated before the route module's body) a surviving effect before the
cluster's last one pins it, one after keeps its order; the extracted modules
evaluate in source order among themselves (re-exported in that order), so
two augmented exports both leave. The extracted module stays flagged
side-effect free when its effects only augment its own declarations
(unobservable while nothing imports the binding), so bundlers drop the unused
re-export and the component loads with its chunk on every bundler.

Tests: core rows (augmentations, earlier/later effect, two exports in order,
effectful initialiser, a kept read), page rows through a real dev server,
a production-build row per bundler and hint, a Vite + Chromium HMR edit.
The toy split planner skips the route's own symbol like the real one.

Subject: [PATCH 1215/1425] test(router-plugin): a type-only import whose name
 a split component also declares stays type-only
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Real app statelyai/jevspresso (diff corpus, final gate at b25984c166): with
`verbatimModuleSyntax`, `import type { Bar, … }` next to a component
`function Bar` that moves to the split chunk is re-emitted in the route module
as a value import (`import { Move } from '../lib/types'`), so the Vite build
fails with MISSING_EXPORT. Introduced by 6e28afea28 (consolidation 2, "one
predicate per placement rule"): passes at 6e28afea28^, fails at 6e28afea28 and
b25984c166 (verified in an isolated copy at b25984c166).

Subject: [PATCH 1216/1425] fix(router-utils): a type-only import stays
 type-only next to a value of the same name
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

TypeScript allows `import type { Bar, Move }` next to a value `function Bar`.
Both declare one symbol, so the type specifier shares the value's cluster.
Since "one predicate per placement rule" the env module included a type unit
only when its cluster was included. When `Bar` moved to a chunk, or the
client erased its only reader, the specifier left with it, and the partial
statement was reprinted without `type`: `import { Move } from …`. With
`verbatimModuleSyntax` that is a runtime import of a type, so the build fails
with MISSING_EXPORT and dev fails with a SyntaxError. A lone `import type { Bar }`
or `import type * as` was dropped, and a co-clustered inline `type` specifier
stayed in a route module.

`importStays` now decides every type unit by its unit, not by its cluster. An
`import type` statement and the other type declarations stay in the env module
as written. Only the TypeScript-only forms (an inline `type` specifier, an
`export { X }` of a type-only binding) follow their statement's value
specifiers. Placement returns the dropped ones and the plan reads them. This is
the env-module behaviour from before the refactor.

Subject: [PATCH 1217/1425] fix(router-utils): a read synthesised from a name
 never binds to a type-only declaration

Without a JSX pragma the classic runtime's factory `React` counts as a read
of every JSX element, resolved by name in the module scope. `import type
* as React from 'react'` (tanstack.com `ds.typography.tsx`) bound that read
to a type-only import: a split component with JSX imported `React` from the
route module, whose `export { React }` TypeScript erases (Rolldown:
MISSING_EXPORT). One predicate now decides every name-based lookup: a
binding without a runtime value (type-only import of any form, interface,
type alias, type-only namespace) is never the JSX factory or fragment, nor
the function of a Solid `use:` directive (core and Hydrate planner), and
`isTypeOnlyBinding` shares it. The verifier's glue-import check no longer
accepts an export of a binding without a runtime value.

Subject: [PATCH 1218/1425] fix(router-utils): a destructuring pattern losing
 every property keeps its braces

On the server the props only `<ClientOnly>` children read leave the
parameter pattern. A pattern losing every property kept its trailing comma
(`({ , }: Props)`, a parse error of the server build: tanstack.com
`MobileNavbarAuthControls`). Declarator runs and pattern-property runs now
share one removal (`removeListItems`): a list losing every item is removed
up to its own closing bracket, found past a trailing comma and comments (the
pattern's range covers its type annotation, which stays).

Subject: [PATCH 1219/1425] fix(router-utils): an asset is never read as code,
 and an unchanged module is its input

- `ASSET_QUERY_RE` (`?raw`, `?url`, `?inline`, `?worker`): such an id has no
  language; its module is not the file's code.
- Facts of a file without a language are never read: a prefetch of an import of
  `esbuild-wasm/esbuild.wasm?url` read 13 MB and parsed it as TypeScript. They
  keep the shape an unparseable module already had.
- An output ending where the source ends gets no final line feed, so an
  unchanged module without one is its input itself and hosts return no
  transform (2,507 dependency modules of tanstack.com came back changed by a
  line feed, each with a source map over its whole text).

Subject: [PATCH 1220/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): compile a dependency only
 when it uses Start, in both hosts

Start's Vite host compiled every JavaScript module it was handed: on
tanstack.com 24.8k modules, 22.6k of them from node_modules, each parsed and
its imports resolved and read (+30 % build time vs main). One rule now decides
for both hosts (`compiler/scope.ts`): the app's modules always; a dependency
when import protection checks it or when its text names what the planners
recognise (the recognizer table's exports, a builder terminal, `Hydrate`, an
import-protection marker), tested before any parse. It replaces the Rsbuild
session's hand-copied text gate. Vite hook filters exclude asset queries (Start
and router hosts).

Subject: [PATCH 1223/1425] feat(router-utils): a split chunk copies a pure
 extracted export instead of importing its module (R77)

An exported binding only split code needs still leaves the route module for
its side-effect-free extracted module, which the route module re-exports for
other importers; but a chunk never imports that module: when the cluster is
pure, observes no mutable state and declares nothing anything assigns or
mutates, the chunk carries its own copy with what only they share, and what
has effects or state stays one instance the chunk imports. Nobody imports
the extracted module unless another file imports the binding, so a bundler
drops it when unused and the route's chunks never depend on where it places
a module the route module re-exports (Rolldown < 1.1.5 and a user
`manualChunks` group merging into the entry placed it with the entry).

R77 dev: in dev nothing is bundled and the static re-export would only load
the extracted module one request level deeper, so the same clusters stay in
the route module as written (`PlacementInput.extractedOutputs`), and chunks
copy or import them exactly as in a build. The decision set is the same in
both modes.

An exported declaration a chunk needs that stays in the route module is
reported once per export with the reason (`eager-export:<reason>`: side
effects, reassigned, read by the module, reading what it keeps, an effect
keeping its order). The route splitter keeps the route itself whatever
another planner offered (`ctx.keep`: Hydrate offers every export).

Subject: [PATCH 1224/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): warn after a client build
 when an extracted export landed in an entry chunk, in every host

The entry walk the router's Vite and webpack hosts carried moves to the
compiler core (`eagerExtractedExports`, `rollupEntryModuleIds`,
`initialChunkResources`, `eagerExportWarning`), reworded for R77 (the
route's own chunk carries its copy; another module imports the binding
through the route file), and Start's Vite host (`generateBundle`, client
builds, deduped by the session ledger across import protection's passes)
and Rspack host (`processAssets`, client builds) warn the same way.

Subject: [PATCH 1225/1425] test(router-plugin): exported bindings stay lazy in
 every bundler and chunking configuration; copied-identity rows become pins

A build matrix (Vite plain, with a `manualChunks` group of the TanStack
packages, with an `advancedChunks` group; Rspack and webpack with and
without `"sideEffects": false` and with `splitChunks` cacheGroups; Rsbuild
default and with cacheGroups) asserts that exported page code and what it
imports load with the route's chunk and render, that importers of the route
file share one instance, and that the build warns exactly when a module the
entry loads imports a copied export through the route file. The shapes that
broke tanstack.com run in every configuration. The dev tests that observed
extraction assert it in a production build; a dev test asserts the binding
stays in the route module and the chunk carries its copy; a dev test
asserts the kept-export warning.

The identity rows that observe the chunk's copy of a pure exported binding
are pins (KNOWN-BUGS "The split chunk copies a pure exported binding",
SPEC J2.4 amended), with rendering controls kept.

 - Any route option value splits: identifiers, inline functions, method shorthands (#8623), object-form loaders (#8753), casts, `satisfies`, calls such as `memo(Page)`, and options held in a module-level constant. Module state the route module and its chunks share exists once (#8754, #8505).
+- **Exported route components and helpers are split too.** An exported pure function, class or component only split code needs leaves the route module: in a build it moves to a small side-effect-free module of its own that the route module re-exports (one instance for every other module importing it from the route file; the bundler drops it when nobody does), and each split chunk carries its own copy, so the chunk never depends on where the bundler places that module (Rolldown < 1.1.5 and a `manualChunks` group merging into the entry kept it eager). In dev the binding stays in the route module and the chunk copies it the same way. An importer of the route file and the route's chunk therefore hold two instances of such a stateless binding (as on main); state, effects and augmented bindings (`Page.displayName = …`) are never copied. Exported bindings that must stay in the route module (side effects, reassignment, read by the route module itself) and extracted modules an entry chunk loads anyway (another module imports the binding through the route file) are each reported once per file, in dev and in builds, on every bundler.
 - `createFileRoute` & co. are recognised by their import binding. Routes whose options cannot be read statically, and methods or function expressions that read `this` (#8688), stay in the route module with one warning naming the file.
 - Route HMR keeps split components' lazy wrappers across updates in React, Solid and Vue, refreshes edits of split loaders and other non-component options on Rspack and webpack, and needs no framework plugin for `.ts` route modules.
 - Production output is decided by the bundler's mode and is identical with `addHmr: false`.

-Route properties like `component`, `loader`, etc., should not be exported from the route file. Exporting these properties results in them being bundled into the main application bundle, which means that they will not be code-split.
+A route property such as `component` or `notFoundComponent` may be exported from the route file: it is still code-split. The split chunk carries its own copy of a pure function, class or component, while other modules that import it from the route file share one instance through a small module of its own, so exporting a page component for tests or reuse costs nothing in the main bundle.
+
+Two cases keep an exported binding in the main bundle, and the build (and the dev server) warns once, naming the file:
+
+- the binding has state or effects (an initialiser with side effects, a `let` the module reassigns, a value read from mutable state when the module loads, a component the file augments with `Page.displayName = …`), so one instance must exist and the route module keeps it;
+- another module loaded with the entry imports the binding through the route file, so the bundler keeps it with the route module.
+
+In both cases, move the binding to its own module and import it from there.

-- Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object. Which bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
+- Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object. The one exception by rule (R77, [ARCHITECTURE-CODE-SPLITTING.md](ARCHITECTURE-CODE-SPLITTING.md)): a pure, unassigned exported binding only chunks need is copied into each chunk, and other importers of the route file share one instance of it; state, effects and augmented bindings are never copied. Which other bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
 - Every option configured for splitting must end up split. When a pattern the user can change prevents it, the option keeps working in the entry and the build warns once, naming the file. When the limitation is ours, it is a bug to fix, not a warning.
 - Splitting and route HMR are planners on the shared compiler core: read [ARCHITECTURE-CODE-SPLITTING.md](ARCHITECTURE-CODE-SPLITTING.md) and the [core README](../router-utils/src/compiler/README.md). Planners only declare roots and edits; placement, dead-code removal and emission belong to the core.
 - Generated route HMR code stays minimal: it calls the framework's `__tsrRouteHmr` from the dev-only `/hmr` subpath (`router-core/src/hmr.ts`), which updates the live route in place (only the route its module exported), replaces lazy-chunk ownership, rebuilds the route tree and refreshes active matches while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep that bookkeeping in the runtime, not in emitted code, and keep it out of production bundles.

+/**
+ * Exported bindings a split component renders stay out of the entry chunk in
+ * every bundler and chunking configuration (SPEC J2.5, J2.8; R77): the
+ * route's chunk carries its own copy, and the extracted module the route
+ * module re-exports serves other importers of the route file only, so a
+ * bundler drops it when nobody imports it, wherever its chunk assignment
+ * would have put it. Learned from tanstack.com, where Vite 8.0.x (Rolldown
+ * 1.0.3) and a `manualChunks` group merging TanStack's runtime into the entry
+ * placed the extracted module with the entry: an exported layout only the
+ * split component rendered loaded eagerly with its icon imports. The shapes
+ * that broke there run here in every configuration: an exported helper with
+ * icon imports, `import type * as React` next to JSX, and a component with
+ * destructured props (a trailing comma) around `<ClientOnly>`.
+ *
+ * Identity: importers of the route file share one instance (two routes'
+ * split components import the same `Card`); the route's own chunk renders
+ * its copy (two instances by rule, R77). When another module imports a
+ * copied export through the route file and the bundler keeps the extracted
+ * module with the entry (every bundler when the entry itself imports it;

Subject: [PATCH 1226/1425] perf(compiler-perf): react-start-deps variant with
 a large generated dependency graph

A Start app whose routes import from a generated icon barrel (2,000
side-effect-free modules), a Start library (createServerFn, ClientOnly, a
2 MB `?url` asset, a 400-module utility chain), with tanstack.com's
`manualChunks` group of Start's runtime: dependency-scope regressions of
the compilers show in the matrix.

 - **`serverFns.generateFunctionId` receives the function's stable name** (`greetUser`) as `functionName`, not the generated handler name (`greetUser_createServerFn_handler`). Custom generators keyed on the old names must be updated.
 - **Production builds answer HTTP calls only for server functions that some client module imports.** A function only server code calls, or one returned to the client as data, gets a 404 over HTTP. The dev server still answers and warns once per function, so this shows up only after deploying: check the dev warnings before you ship.
 - **A module the compiler cannot parse fails the client build** with an error naming the file, instead of shipping untransformed (its server code included).
+- **Exported route components and helpers split in Start apps too** (see the router plugin's changeset): each split chunk carries its own copy of a pure exported binding, importers of the route file share one instance, and both Start hosts (Vite and Rsbuild) warn after a client build when a module loaded with the entry imports such a binding through the route file.
 - **`routeTree.gen.ts` formatting changes once**: `enableRouteTreeFormatting` now defaults to `false` and the tree is printed in your `quoteStyle` and `semicolons`; commit the one-time diff.
 - **Removed (experimental, Babel-typed):** the `compilerTransforms` and `serverFnProviderModuleDirectives` options and the `StartCompilerPlugin`, `StartCompilerImportTransform`, `StartCompilerTransformContext` and `StartCompilerTransformCandidate` types. RSC integrations pass `rsc: { loadCssExpression, providerDirective }` instead.

Subject: [PATCH 1229/1425] fix(router-utils): a cluster holding a region
 another output claims is never copied

An exported pure component with a Hydrate boundary inside was copied into
the boundary's own chunk, which then carried the boundary's region next to
its own generated declaration ("Identifier 'TsrHydrate0' has already been
declared"). Such a cluster is one instance the chunk imports, as before.

Subject: [PATCH 1230/1425] fix(router-generator): a physical() mount of the
 root route file's directory keeps that file the root route only

`rootRoute('__root.tsx', [physical('', '.')])` failed with "A route file can
be used for one route only" naming `__root.tsx`: the mount's scan returns the
directory's own root route file, which the tree leaves out, but the
duplicate file check (and the file analysis) counted it as a route too. The
scan now drops root route files from its route files (one predicate, shared
with the physical scan's root choice), so the tree builder's and the file
list's own filters go. Found by the large-apps validation (tamery).

Subject: [PATCH 1231/1425] fix(solid-router): keep MatchInner's componentKey a
 const so production output folds as before

39e70412cb made `componentKey` a `let` reassigned in the dev-only route HMR
branch. Rollup and esbuild cannot fold the declaration once the branch is
gone, so every Solid app on Vite <= 7 grew by ~10 B. The dev-only re-key now
branches the keyed `Show` itself (still before the JSX); production keeps the
plain `const` form (Vite 7: -10 B esbuild, -6 B terser; Rolldown unchanged).

Subject: [PATCH 1232/1425] fix(router-plugin): a split chunk declares an
 imported option value instead of re-exporting it

383f1918fb exported identifier values directly. For an imported binding
(`component: Outlet`, a component the root imports too) the chunk became a
pure re-export, which Rollup (Vite <= 7) does not emit as a chunk: it
resolves the lazy import to the module owning the binding, usually the
entry, which grows by the export glue of every such route (large app on
Vite 7: +2.7 KB initial). An imported binding gets the chunk's own
declaration again, as on main; local identifiers keep the direct export.
Repro (3 such routes): Vite 6/7 entry -332 B, total -110 B; Rsbuild -3 B;
Vite 8 entry 0, each such lazy chunk +23 B (main's form).

 route file when a later one does

An effectful declaration only split code reads moves into the chunk unless a
side effect written after it (an inline call in a non-split option such as
validateSearch) stays in the route file; the file's effects keep their order.

+#### Top-level side effects keep their order
+
+A top-level declaration with side effects that only split code reads (for example `const confetti = new JSConfetti()`, used only by the component) moves into the split chunk and runs when the chunk loads. It stays in the main bundle, and runs when the route file loads, if a side effect written after it stays in the route file, such as an inline call in an option that is not split (`validateSearch: z.object({ … })`). Moving the declaration would run it after that call, and the route file's side effects keep the order they are written in. To have the declaration split, create the value the option uses before it:
+
+```tsx
+const searchSchema = z.object({ success: z.boolean().optional() })
+// ✅ split: no side effect after it stays in the route file
+const confetti = new JSConfetti()
+
+export const Route = createFileRoute('/account')({
+  validateSearch: searchSchema,
+  component: AccountPage,
+})
+```
+
 #### Route callbacks that read `this` are not split
 
 A route option written as a method or a function expression whose body reads `this` stays in the route file, and the build warns once, naming the file. Write such callbacks as arrow functions (or without `this`) to have them split.

`Placement.kept` now lists, next to F5's exported declarations, the
unexported clusters only split or Hydrate chunks need that the movable test
keeps in the env module (R78): a surviving effect after the first effect
(R31 (d) / R65), several split needers, a top-level write, a read of mutable
state, a read of an effectful or `let` binding the module keeps. The cause is
recorded where the decision is taken (`movableTo` returns why not,
`effectStays` the blocking unit) and reported once, at the cause of a
cascade. `AnalysisPlan` words both kinds in one formatter, naming the
pinning effect with its line and, inside a recognised route call, its
option value (`the call \`type(…)\` in \`validateSearch\``). No placement
decision changes.

Subject: [PATCH 1235/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild reports two
 warnings of one reason in a file once each

The Rsbuild session's ledger keyed a warning by file and code only, so a
second declaration kept for the same reason in one route file was never
reported; it now keys by code and wording, as the Vite hosts do.

Subject: [PATCH 1236/1425] test(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): split-only
 declarations a later effect pins warn once in every host; docs

Builds on Vite, Rspack, webpack and Rsbuild, the router Vite dev server
(an edit keeping the finding does not repeat it), Start Vite and Rsbuild
builds (one warning for client and server) and Start's Vite dev server.
Docs: the supported annotations (`/* @__PURE__ */` at the call,
`/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` on a function declared in the route file; not
on an imported one).

 - Any route option value splits: identifiers, inline functions, method shorthands (#8623), object-form loaders (#8753), casts, `satisfies`, calls such as `memo(Page)`, and options held in a module-level constant. Module state the route module and its chunks share exists once (#8754, #8505).
 - **Exported route components and helpers are split too.** An exported pure function, class or component only split code needs leaves the route module: in a build it moves to a small side-effect-free module of its own that the route module re-exports (one instance for every other module importing it from the route file; the bundler drops it when nobody does), and each split chunk carries its own copy, so the chunk never depends on where the bundler places that module (Rolldown < 1.1.5 and a `manualChunks` group merging into the entry kept it eager). In dev the binding stays in the route module and the chunk copies it the same way. An importer of the route file and the route's chunk therefore hold two instances of such a stateless binding (as on main); state, effects and augmented bindings (`Page.displayName = …`) are never copied. Exported bindings that must stay in the route module (side effects, reassignment, read by the route module itself) and extracted modules an entry chunk loads anyway (another module imports the binding through the route file) are each reported once per file, in dev and in builds, on every bundler.
+- **A top-level declaration only split code needs that must stay in the route module is reported** once per declaration, in dev and in builds, on every bundler, positioned at it and naming what keeps it: a side effect written after it that stays (for example an inline `validateSearch: type({ … })`, named with its line), several split options reading it, a top-level change of it, or a value it reads as the file loads. `/* @__PURE__ */` on the call, or `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` on a function declared in the route file, lets it split.
 - `createFileRoute` & co. are recognised by their import binding. Routes whose options cannot be read statically, and methods or function expressions that read `this` (#8688), stay in the route module with one warning naming the file.
 - Route HMR keeps split components' lazy wrappers across updates in React, Solid and Vue, refreshes edits of split loaders and other non-component options on Rspack and webpack, and needs no framework plugin for `.ts` route modules.
 - Production output is decided by the bundler's mode and is identical with `addHmr: false`.

Subject: [PATCH 1237/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): import protection locates
 only reported violations; trace steps are located from the raw file

Every judged edge was located through the bundler's combined input map
(getCombinedSourcemap on every in-scope module: 158 ms of a mk-combos
build), for traces that are printed only when a violation is reported.
The planner now records the specifier's offset and the input's revision
with each indexed edge; a trace step is located in the raw file when the
trace is built, while the file is still the text the edge was judged in.
A violation's own location and code frame are still mapped through the
input map, during the hook (a Rolldown transform context is valid only
then). Rspack records carry the revision next to the edges.

Subject: [PATCH 1238/1425] feat(router-utils): the order warning suggests the
 least effortful fix first

Declare the kept declaration after the effect (after `Route` for a route
option), then create the option's value in a `const` before it, then
`#__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__` on a callee the route file declares, then
`/* @__PURE__ */` at the call. Docs list every option a user has, verified
end to end, and what does not help (an imported callee's annotation,
`"sideEffects": false`, the bundler's pure-function lists).

+in a `const` before `confetti`, or mark the call `/* @__PURE__ */` if it has no side effects, so
+`confetti` can load with the split `component`.
 ```
 
-To have the declaration split, create the value the option uses before it:
+Any of these lets the declaration load with the split chunk, from the least to the most effort:
 
-```tsx
-const searchSchema = z.object({ success: z.boolean().optional() })
-// ✅ split: no side effect after it stays in the route file
-const confetti = new JSConfetti()
+- **Declare it after the route.** A declaration written after `createFileRoute(…)({ … })` comes after the call in the file, so loading it later with the chunk keeps the order:
 
-export const Route = createFileRoute('/account')({
-  validateSearch: searchSchema,
-  component: AccountPage,
-})
-```
+  ```tsx
+  export const Route = createFileRoute('/account')({
+    validateSearch: type({ 'success?': 'boolean' }),
+    component: AccountPage,
+  })
+
+  // ✅ split: nothing that stays in the route file runs after it
+  const confetti = new JSConfetti()
+  ```
+
+- **Create the value the option uses before it**, in the same file or in a module of its own (`validateSearch: searchSchema`, imported or declared above):
+
+  ```tsx
+  const searchSchema = type({ 'success?': 'boolean' })
+  // ✅ split: no side effect after it stays in the route file
+  const confetti = new JSConfetti()
+
+  export const Route = createFileRoute('/account')({
+    validateSearch: searchSchema,
+    component: AccountPage,
+  })
+  ```
+
+- **Move the declaration to a module of its own** that only the component imports (`import { confetti } from '../-confetti'`): the import moves into the chunk with the component, so the module loads with it.
+- **Create it on first use**, for example `let instance; const getConfetti = () => (instance ??= new JSConfetti())`: a function has no side effects when it is declared.
+- **Tell the compiler that the call has no side effects**, with one of these annotations:
+  - `/* @__PURE__ */` before the call (`validateSearch: /* @__PURE__ */ type({ … })`), whatever the function is;
+  - `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` on a function declared in the route file itself: `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */ function makeSchema(…) { … }` or `const makeSchema = /* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */ (…) => …`, exported or not.
 
-or tell the compiler that the call has no side effects, with one of these annotations:
+  The call then runs when the route file loads, which may be before the declaration: annotate only calls whose order does not matter.
 
-- `/* @__PURE__ */` before the call (`validateSearch: /* @__PURE__ */ type({ … })`), whatever the function is;
-- `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` on a function declared in the route file itself: `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */ function makeSchema(…) { … }` or `const makeSchema = /* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */ (…) => …`, exported or not.
+These do not change what the route file keeps, because the route file is split without reading the modules it imports or the bundler's options:
 
-A `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` annotation on a function imported from another module (one of the app's or a package's) does not count here: the route file is split without reading the modules it imports. Annotate the call with `/* @__PURE__ */` instead, or create the value before the declaration.
+- `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` on a function imported from another module, one of the app's or a package's (for example valibot's functions): annotate the call with `/* @__PURE__ */` instead;
+- `"sideEffects": false` in the package.json of the function's package: it says that importing the package's modules has no side effects, not that calling their functions has none;
+- the bundler's list of pure functions (`treeshake.manualPureFunctions` of Rolldown and Rollup, esbuild's `pure`, Terser's `pure_funcs`).

Subject: [PATCH 1240/1425] perf(router-utils): raw facts answer a marker query
 from the text; tier 0 asks less of Yuku

- RawFactsCache.marker(id): an import edge asks only its target's marker,
  and raw facts parsed and summarised the target for it (node_modules
  targets included: raw-facts build was 300 MB of a kamino build's
  allocation, more than the compiles). A text without a marker specifier
  literal has no marker import and is not parsed; one with the literal
  gets its full facts as before. The scanned revision lets a later compile
  of the same text publish its analysis.
- importUses answers a non-namespace binding at its first live reference
  (no parentOf per reference, so no node index for tier-0-only modules).
- ModuleAnalysis.declarations: the body scan records each top-level
  name's declarator or function; ValueAnalysis and buildSummary read it
  before parentOf. The Start analysis passes the map, not a closure over
  the analysis: its cache is a WeakMap keyed by the analysis, and a value
  referring to its key survives every scavenge until a mark-compact.
- The Vite host digests outputs only in dev, by revision (no JSON copy of
  every output of a build).

Subject: [PATCH 1241/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): ordinary packages are
 opaque to the summaries, as designed
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The Vite host called only pre-bundled dependencies opaque (nothing is
pre-bundled in a build) and the Rsbuild host nothing, so the start-env
prefetch's export resolution parsed and summarised every node_modules
module it walked (333 of kamino's 854 raw-facts entries, the large
library files among them). RawFactsOptions.opaque (scope.ts
opaquePackageModule): a node_modules module import protection does not
check, whose text names nothing the planners recognise and re-exports no
module, is read but not parsed: summary null (unknown to a resolver),
marker from the text, target facts parsed only when a mock asks for
them (getTarget). kamino allocation 1385 → 1108 MB; raw-facts build
300 → 109 MB.

Subject: [PATCH 1242/1425] feat(router-utils): calls of known packages' pure
 exports are pure, by binding and through re-exports (R79)

`RecognizerTable.pureCalls` lists exports of known packages whose call is
pure when its arguments are. Tier 0 recognises imports of them by binding
(renamed, or a namespace member) before any statement is classified; phase
A follows an import of a project module the module calls at its
evaluation through re-exports over summaries (a package is never read: a
third party's purity is never assumed). Known packages' summaries flag
those exports `noSideEffects` (no longer the factories', which nothing
read) and export resolution carries the flag.

Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2026 18:40:34 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 1243/1425] feat(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): the
 router's pure APIs are no effect in route modules (R79)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

One table (router planner, `routerPureCalls`), per framework package:
getRouteApi, linkOptions, createLink, createRouteMask, lazyRouteComponent,
lazyFn, retainSearchParams, stripSearchParams, parseSearchWith,
stringifySearchWith, createRouterConfig (React, Vue). Read in every
framework: each constructs and returns a value, reads no global state,
registers nothing and never throws. Excluded: redirect/notFound (mutate
their argument, throw on request), createSerializationAdapter (throws on
an invalid key in development), the route factories (route units).

The router plugin's session knows the router packages by specifier, and
its hosts pass the bundler's resolver (Vite plugin context / dev
environment container, webpack/Rspack loader `getResolve`), so an app
module re-exporting an API is followed. Start's recognizer reuses the
table.

Tests: tamery's shape (an effect, `const { useParams } = getRouteApi(…)`,
an inline `validateSearch` call that stays) loads the API with its chunk
and warns only of the effect, directly, renamed and through an app
re-export; an impure argument keeps the call an effect; an API the route
module keeps no longer pins an earlier effect; `Route.useParams()` in the
split component unchanged. Vite, Rspack, webpack, Rsbuild; Start Vite and
Rsbuild.

@@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ Route code splitting and route HMR run on the new compiler core instead of Babel
 
 - Any route option value splits: identifiers, inline functions, method shorthands (#8623), object-form loaders (#8753), casts, `satisfies`, calls such as `memo(Page)`, and options held in a module-level constant. Module state the route module and its chunks share exists once (#8754, #8505).
 - **Exported route components and helpers are split too.** An exported pure function, class or component only split code needs leaves the route module: in a build it moves to a small side-effect-free module of its own that the route module re-exports (one instance for every other module importing it from the route file; the bundler drops it when nobody does), and each split chunk carries its own copy, so the chunk never depends on where the bundler places that module (Rolldown < 1.1.5 and a `manualChunks` group merging into the entry kept it eager). In dev the binding stays in the route module and the chunk copies it the same way. An importer of the route file and the route's chunk therefore hold two instances of such a stateless binding (as on main); state, effects and augmented bindings (`Page.displayName = …`) are never copied. Exported bindings that must stay in the route module (side effects, reassignment, read by the route module itself) and extracted modules an entry chunk loads anyway (another module imports the binding through the route file) are each reported once per file, in dev and in builds, on every bundler.
-- **A top-level declaration only split code needs that must stay in the route module is reported** once per declaration, in dev and in builds, on every bundler, positioned at it and naming what keeps it: a side effect written after it that stays (for example an inline `validateSearch: type({ … })`, named with its line), several split options reading it, a top-level change of it, or a value it reads as the file loads. `/* @__PURE__ */` on the call, or `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` on a function declared in the route file, lets it split.
+- **A top-level declaration only split code needs that must stay in the route module is reported** once per declaration, in dev and in builds, on every bundler, positioned at it and naming what keeps it: a side effect written after it that stays (for example an inline `validateSearch: type({ … })`, named with its line), several split options reading it, a top-level change of it, or a value it reads as the file loads. `/* @__PURE__ */` on the call, or `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` on a function declared in the route file, lets it split. Calls of the router's own side-effect-free APIs with constant arguments (`getRouteApi`, `linkOptions`, `createLink`, `createRouteMask`, `lazyRouteComponent`, `lazyFn`, `retainSearchParams`, `stripSearchParams`, `parseSearchWith`, `stringifySearchWith`, `createRouterConfig`) are no such side effect, also imported under another name or through an app module re-exporting them: `const { useSearch } = getRouteApi('/x')` splits with the component.
 - `createFileRoute` & co. are recognised by their import binding. Routes whose options cannot be read statically, and methods or function expressions that read `this` (#8688), stay in the route module with one warning naming the file.
 - Route HMR keeps split components' lazy wrappers across updates in React, Solid and Vue, refreshes edits of split loaders and other non-component options on Rspack and webpack, and needs no framework plugin for `.ts` route modules.

+Faster Start builds: import protection locates an import through the bundler's source map only when it reports a violation (every checked module used to combine its input map), a dependency module an app imports is read but no longer parsed and summarised unless its text names something the compiler recognises or re-exports another module, and the compiler asks less of the parser per module. A violation's trace still locates each step in the user's files; a step through a module another plugin rewrote (React Compiler, MDX) is named without a line.

Subject: [PATCH 1246/1425] refactor(router-utils, router-plugin): R79
 recognises the router's pure APIs by binding only; app re-exports are not
 followed

Maintainer decision: drop the phase-A re-export follower and everything it
needed: `seedPureImports`, the `noSideEffects` flag on known facts' pure
exports and on export resolution, the router plugin hosts' resolvers
(Vite plugin context / dev environment container, webpack and Rspack
loader `getResolve`): the router plugin resolves nothing again. Direct
imports from the router packages (renamed, namespace members) stay pure
callees in Tier 0. Tests of the removed behaviour deleted.

@@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ Route code splitting and route HMR run on the new compiler core instead of Babel
 
 - Any route option value splits: identifiers, inline functions, method shorthands (#8623), object-form loaders (#8753), casts, `satisfies`, calls such as `memo(Page)`, and options held in a module-level constant. Module state the route module and its chunks share exists once (#8754, #8505).
 - **Exported route components and helpers are split too.** An exported pure function, class or component only split code needs leaves the route module: in a build it moves to a small side-effect-free module of its own that the route module re-exports (one instance for every other module importing it from the route file; the bundler drops it when nobody does), and each split chunk carries its own copy, so the chunk never depends on where the bundler places that module (Rolldown < 1.1.5 and a `manualChunks` group merging into the entry kept it eager). In dev the binding stays in the route module and the chunk copies it the same way. An importer of the route file and the route's chunk therefore hold two instances of such a stateless binding (as on main); state, effects and augmented bindings (`Page.displayName = …`) are never copied. Exported bindings that must stay in the route module (side effects, reassignment, read by the route module itself) and extracted modules an entry chunk loads anyway (another module imports the binding through the route file) are each reported once per file, in dev and in builds, on every bundler.
-- **A top-level declaration only split code needs that must stay in the route module is reported** once per declaration, in dev and in builds, on every bundler, positioned at it and naming what keeps it: a side effect written after it that stays (for example an inline `validateSearch: type({ … })`, named with its line), several split options reading it, a top-level change of it, or a value it reads as the file loads. `/* @__PURE__ */` on the call, or `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` on a function declared in the route file, lets it split. Calls of the router's own side-effect-free APIs with constant arguments (`getRouteApi`, `linkOptions`, `createLink`, `createRouteMask`, `lazyRouteComponent`, `lazyFn`, `retainSearchParams`, `stripSearchParams`, `parseSearchWith`, `stringifySearchWith`, `createRouterConfig`) are no such side effect, also imported under another name or through an app module re-exporting them: `const { useSearch } = getRouteApi('/x')` splits with the component.

 - `createFileRoute` & co. are recognised by their import binding. Routes whose options cannot be read statically, and methods or function expressions that read `this` (#8688), stay in the route module with one warning naming the file.
 - Route HMR keeps split components' lazy wrappers across updates in React, Solid and Vue, refreshes edits of split loaders and other non-component options on Rspack and webpack, and needs no framework plugin for `.ts` route modules.
 - Production output is decided by the bundler's mode and is identical with `addHmr: false`.

Subject: [PATCH 1247/1425] perf(router-utils): memoise analysis resolutions
 per environment while the file set is unchanged
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The value analysis of every module that imports from a barrel follows the
barrel's export-star chain, and nothing shared the resolver's answers across
compiles: a monorepo importing a workspace UI kit from ~1,100 modules made
58k host resolves for 13k unique (env, importer, specifier) triples, +9% build
wall and +13% peak RSS vs main. The environment's PlanCache now memoises the
resolver's answers, importer → specifier → canonical id (the pending answer
while it settles, so concurrent compiles share one call), for one
fileSetVersion: the same authority that already re-validates the plans'
recorded resolutions, dropped as one when a file appears or disappears and
released with the environment's plans. Unresolved pairs are not kept (the
file may be about to appear; the add event re-resolves them). The keys and
ids are strings the compiles already hold, so the memo costs its Map entries
only. In dev, each resolution still yields one event-loop turn, so a dev
server's pending requests get in between an update's resolutions as they did
while every resolution was resolver I/O. Host resolves equal the unique
resolved triples; the app builds at parity with main.

 Add the compiler core shared by the router plugin and TanStack Start, built on Yuku (`@tanstack/router-utils/compiler`): one parse and one plan per module and environment, with every output (the module, its split chunks, Hydrate chunks, server function providers) emitted from the original source with exact source maps.
 
-The dev caches stay bounded by the live modules: deleted, renamed or no longer imported files leave no plans, raw facts or dependency-index rows behind, and publishing a plan updates only that plan's dependency rows. Resolutions and emitted outputs are not cached: each compile records its resolutions in its dependency ledger, validation asks the bundler's resolver again once a file appeared or disappeared, and outputs are emitted from the frozen plan on request. `TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1` exposes the cache sizes (`compilerStats()`) of the compiler core, the router plugin and the route generator, and `TSR_COMPILER_NO_CACHE` (`plans`, `facts`, `targets`, `all`) disables caches for measurements.
+The dev caches stay bounded by the live modules: deleted, renamed or no longer imported files leave no plans, raw facts or dependency-index rows behind, and publishing a plan updates only that plan's dependency rows. Each compile records its resolutions in its dependency ledger, and validation asks the bundler's resolver again once a file appeared or disappeared; while the file set is unchanged, the bundler is asked once per environment for each (importer, specifier) pair, so the `export *` chain of a barrel that a thousand modules import from is resolved once, not a thousand times. Emitted outputs are not cached: they are emitted from the frozen plan on request. `TSR_COMPILER_STATS=1` exposes the cache sizes (`compilerStats()`) of the compiler core, the router plugin and the route generator, and `TSR_COMPILER_NO_CACHE` (`plans`, `facts`, `targets`, `all`) disables caches for measurements.
 
 Removed the Babel helpers (`parseAst`, `generateFromAst`, `deadCodeElimination`, `findReferencedIdentifiers`, `stripTypeExports` and the binding helpers of `compiler-helpers`) and the `@babel/*` and `babel-dead-code-elimination` dependencies. Also removed the unused `logDiff`, `createIdentifier` and `decodeIdentifier` exports and the `ansis` and `diff` dependencies.

 - `releaseEnvironment(caches, env)` is the end of an environment's lifetime: a production build releases an
   environment's plans as soon as that environment's build is finished (several environments build one after the

+- Resolutions: each compile records its answers in its ledger; validation asks the environment's resolver again
+  only once a file appeared or disappeared since the plan's resolutions were validated (`CompilerCaches.fileSetVersion`).
+  The environment's `PlanCache` memoises the resolver's answers per (importer, specifier) for one `fileSetVersion`
+  (the compiles of a build would otherwise ask for a barrel's re-exports once per importing module); the same version
+  bump drops the memo, and `releaseEnvironment` releases it with the plans.
+- Not cached: emitted outputs (emission from a frozen recipe costs microseconds).
 - Invariants: no Yuku object is reachable from any cache (`tests/heap.test.ts`); every cache is bounded by the live
   module set; derived outputs are pure functions of (env, source, config, summaries).

Subject: [PATCH 1248/1425] fix(compiler): one purity seeding, empty
 defaultBehavior, live mutation view, nested server-fn order, opaque digests

- `#__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__` on a callee the module declares counts whatever the
  order of declaration and call (function declarations are hoisted) and in
  Tier 0 too: one seeding (`seedNoSideEffectDeclarations`) before any statement
  is classified; units.ts no longer marks callees as it goes.
- `codeSplittingOptions.defaultBehavior: []` splits nothing unless
  `splitBehavior` or the route says so, as on main.
- The mutation model takes the output's liveness filter (R1): a write inside
  code the environment erases imposes nothing; reach.ts and the route planner
  read the env's live view (no spurious `eager-export:reassigned` on the client
  for a server-only write).
- Server-fn sites are planned in source order, so a nested site inside a
  stubbed handler is dead there whichever import binding declares it.
- An opaque package's facts keep a null summary after `getTarget` (its digest
  never changes); `getTarget` never answers a read in flight.
- The fallback-rounds bound is the region count after the first round (regions
  accumulate across rounds; the guard could not fire before).
- Prose: README, eager-exports.ts and the warning state one rule for what
  chunks copy and what they import.

Subject: [PATCH 1249/1425] fix(hosts): one invalidation per change, registry
 changes reach symlinked and un-planned route files, shared tsconfig reader

- Start Vite bundled dev: `watchChange` runs in one environment and applies the
  one invalidation to every environment's module graph (no per-env eviction
  that left the other environments' dependents stale).
- Start Rsbuild: the session dedupes a watch cycle's file events across the
  environment compilers (path, kind, mtime, size).
- Registry changes: `changedRoutePaths` lists the real path of a symlinked
  route file too; the webpack-family hosts (router Rspack/webpack, Start
  Rsbuild) tell the watching compiler the files changed (`invalidateFiles`),
  so modules whose rules or plan changed are built again; the Vite router host
  hard-invalidates the changed file's own modules (a file that was no route has
  no plan to evict). Start's Rsbuild generator reads the registry through the
  shared `RouteRegistryView`.
- Both Start hosts read `verbatimModuleSyntax` through the tsconfig `extends`
  chain (one reader, `src/tsconfig.ts`).
- Start's Rsbuild `finishMake` rebuilds (client tree, import-protection
  re-judge) share one helper (`rebuildModules`).

Subject: [PATCH 1250/1425] test(compiler): delete the R77 identity pins,
 assert warnings by position, align prose

- The eight `.fails` pins asserting that a split chunk renders the instance
  importers get are deleted: the chunk copies a pure exported binding by rule
  (R77, "Fix: none planned"); the rendering rows next to them stay, and the
  `%s` errorComponent rows assert rendering and "split or reported" only.
- Warning assertions in the four new files check position and count, not
  wording (harness rule); parse warnings are deduped like every other warning
  (code and wording).
- Prose aligned with the code: KNOWN-BUGS (R77 entry), planners/hmr.ts,
  core/config.ts `@default`, split.ts refresh identity, diagnostics.ts,
  server-fns/ids.ts rank under RSC, generator comments, router-core hmr.ts.

Subject: [PATCH 1251/1425] refactor(compiler): delete dead and duplicated
 code, do less work per compile
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Dead code (audit §3 and a symbol-occurrence sweep): RewriteSet.claimLive,
DependencyLedger.paths, WarningLedger.reset(path), unread fields of the
split decisions and route recognition, the HMR planners' second rename
table (PlanContext.nameOf replaces it), CompileRequest.env.routerSplit,
the `-start` alternative of ROUTER_PACKAGE_RE, the duplicated HmrStyle,
import-protection's old ImportGraph/buildTrace and unread members, Rsbuild
R72 remnants and copied rebuild/route-digest helpers, unused Queue and
generator helpers, FunctionIdAllocator.has/get, ServerFnRegistry.tokenOf,
StartEnvFacts.useClient, the duplicated provider self-accept unit.

Less work per compile: the route-registry fingerprint is the route id
(three canonicalJson+sha1 per compile gone); edge keys are a plain join
(sha1 only for edge-module ids); the specifier segment of a substituted
edge is cut at substitution instead of per edge per output at freeze
(markSegment and the Tier 0 marker deleted); the units of each import are
listed once per plan instead of filtered per import per output; the
dependency paths of a compile are computed on demand (only the Rspack and
webpack hosts read them).

Subject: [PATCH 1252/1425] fix(compiler): hoisted imports are no effect before
 or after a cluster

A bare import or a re-export evaluates before the module body wherever it
is written: `effectStays` no longer counts one after an effectful cluster a
chunk needs (it moved only when nothing followed it) or before an augmented
export (it stayed, `eager-split:order` / kept). Two placement tests.

Subject: [PATCH 1253/1425] fix(import-protection): the bundler witnesses
 TypeScript-erasable edges; delete the tsconfig reader

R80. Whether TypeScript erases a value import whose bindings are unused or
only used as types is the bundler's transform's decision (oxc reads the
nearest tsconfig through references/extends unless its options override
it; SWC never reads tsconfig). The root tsconfig reader guessed it, and was
wrong for the stock Vite template (solution-style root: the real server
module was bundled unreported) and for Rsbuild (false reports, or a leak
under `tools.swc` verbatim).

The rule verdict and the substitution stay in the pre-TS plan. In dev such
an edge is substituted in both behaviours and recorded pending; it is
decided (`onViolation`, report, or the error) when the bundler requests its
edge module, which only post-TS code does: Vite's edge `resolveId` (import
analysis, Rolldown), Rsbuild's edge-module rule loader. A veto serves the
allowed form; an `error` violation fails every request. Build is unchanged
(the R30 witness: an erased edge module is absent from the bundle).

Tests: v2-witness (the five tsconfig layouts x Vite/Rsbuild x build/dev,
the oxc/SWC option rows, error on every request, dev vetoes). Deleted: the
planner's tsconfig rows and the v2-type-only verbatim-through-extends rows
(the Rsbuild dev row pinned the over-report; the Vite rows duplicate the
v2-witness extends layout).

Subject: [PATCH 1254/1425] fix(import-protection): Rsbuild dev builds edge
 modules restored from the persistent cache again

An erasable edge is decided when Rspack builds its edge module. A dev
server started on its persistent cache restores that module without a
build, so the violation went unreported in the new session (and a previous
session's veto decided its code). At `finishMake`, after the restored
importers are compiled again, an edge module whose pending violations this
session never confirmed is rebuilt: the edge-module loader decides them.

Subject: [PATCH 1255/1425] perf(import-protection): locate without Vite's
 identity map; edge-module code on demand

Locating a violation asked Vite for the combined input map; in a pre
transform with an empty chain Vite builds an hires identity map over the
whole input (~70 us per module, 85 % of the cost of an erasable violation
nothing requests). The input is compared with the file as written first: a
match has no map to read. Edge-module code is computed only when a listener
takes it (Rspack's virtual files); Vite builds it at `load`.

IP-heavy fixture (48 erasable denied imports), paired 10 rounds: TS-erased
dev +0.6 +/- 1.7 %, build +0.7 +/- 3.9 % vs 6aee39014f (was +1.9 % dev).

+Import protection no longer reads tsconfig to guess whether TypeScript erases an import whose bindings are only used as types: the bundler decides. Such an import of a denied module is reported (and mocked) exactly when Vite's or Rsbuild's TypeScript transform keeps it, in dev and in builds. This fixes the stock Vite template (a solution-style `tsconfig.json` with `verbatimModuleSyntax` in `tsconfig.app.json`), whose builds bundled the real server module unreported, and Rsbuild dev, which reported imports SWC erases.

Subject: [PATCH 1257/1425] refactor(compiler): delete unread ROUTE_HMR and
 Chain.headValue; one dependents-index row per path per compile

DependentsIndex.add is only ever called for in-flight rows: drop the parameter and
its dead branch. The ledger adds a path's row once, not once per fingerprint of it.

Subject: [PATCH 1258/1425] perf(compiler): a leading comment is no
 statement-start hazard

guardStatementStart took the '/' of a generated '/* @__PURE__ */' annotation for a
token that could continue the previous statement, so every lazyRouteComponent
replacement walked the AST from the root to find whether it starts a statement.
It now reads the first token past leading comments.

Subject: [PATCH 1261/1425] perf(compiler): a frozen plan keeps its planner
 facts instead of a JSON copy

Every freeze round-tripped the planner facts through JSON to keep cached plans to
plain data. Planners build fresh facts per plan; the verify pass
(TSR_COMPILER_VERIFY, on in every test run) now fails a compile whose facts are
not JSON data, so the rule is checked where it is broken instead of paid for in
every compile.

Subject: [PATCH 1263/1425] fix(compiler): a claimed region in a statement
 placement drops still renders in its owner

The env render tree decided claim liveness with the core's statement-level
DCE edits included. When placement drops the statement of a function that
holds a hoisted nested server fn (a route component moved to its chunk, or
dead code that would pull a chunk's dependency), the handler's claim died
with it while the hoisted chain still rendered: the SSR route module shipped
the raw handler (`.handler(rawFn)`, its reads unbound, the lazy loader
unused), and every call failed. Reach decided liveness on the planner tree,
so the handler module existed too. Claim liveness is now decided by planner
edits only.

The verifier gains check (g): no output reads a module binding of the
source it neither declares nor imports (it fired on this case).

Subject: [PATCH 1264/1425] test(router-utils): the lazy handler module counts
 as an importing output in verify (d)

The verifier skipped `custom` outputs like a copying provider output when
counting effects, but the in-place provider's lazy handler module imports
from the env module: an effectful cluster only a handler reads moves there
(R29) and was reported as "emitted 0 times".

Subject: [PATCH 1265/1425] perf(router-utils): compiler source maps carry no
 sourcesContent

Every output of a file carried the whole file text in its map, and
Rspack/webpack hash a module's map with its code: an edit anywhere in a
file hot-updated every output of it. A `<Hydrate>`-content edit on Rsbuild
re-emitted the unchanged route module and split chunks, whose route HMR
refreshed the route (loaders, server fns): +250 ms per edit on the
react-start medium app vs main. Main's Babel maps had no sourcesContent
either; Vite's dev server fills it in from `sources`.

Subject: [PATCH 1266/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): a dev client server fn stub
 names its file's revision

Rspack/webpack hot-update a module only when its output changed. A
handler-only edit left the client stub `createClientRpc(id)` unchanged, so
the route kept its loader data from the old handler (Rsbuild dev-server
test "the next call runs the edited handler"); it passed before only
because every output's map held the whole file. In dev the stub now also
names its file's revision (an argument the runtime ignores): the client
module of a file declaring server fns changes with every edit of the file,
as Vite updates every module of the file; other outputs stay byte-stable.

Subject: [PATCH 1267/1425] fix(compiler): a dynamic import is an edge only of
 the outputs rendering it

6e14f8610e dropped markSegment, which also skipped an edge whose specifier
no slice of the output held. Dynamic edges had no other check, so every
output recorded every `import()` of the file: a route's server module
judged the `lazy(() => import('./X.client'))` its split component holds
(or no output holds: `ssr: false`), and in dev `behavior: 'error'` failed
that route module, so every page of the app failed. The edge is recorded
again only where a slice of the output holds its specifier.

Subject: [PATCH 1268/1425] test(router-utils): the overlapping-save and
 in-flight tests wait on their suspension, not on 5 ms

(f) asserted that the edge-policy verdict was asked 5 ms after the compile
started; on a loaded or slow runner (CI Linux arm64) phase C is not reached
within that window (the dev resolution yields add macrotask turns), so the
check saw no call. Each test now awaits the point it suspends at (the
verdict asked, the planner's prefetch, the host's resolution); the
assertions are unchanged. Reproduced 3/80 with 16 concurrent runs on two
CPUs before, 0/208 after.

Subject: [PATCH 1269/1425] chore(router-utils): bump yuku to 0.26.0

0.24 removed bindingIdentifiers (patternIdentifiers moves from analysis.ts to
source.ts and serves units/orphans), moved unwrap to yuku/utils; 0.26 renames
parse's semantic option to analyze.

Subject: [PATCH 1270/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): one server chunk for the
 router and server-fn providers on Rsbuild

The server-fn resolver imports the modules that define server functions,
which the router's async chunk holds too, so the shared group split them
into a third chunk (react-start.rsbuild.full: 159.js + 154.js). A named
cache group now puts the router's chunk and the provider chunks into one
chunk when the resolver imports providers: -94 B raw / -248 B gzip on
react-start.rsbuild.full, one file fewer loaded; scenarios without server
functions are byte-identical. No chunk-name comment on the resolver's
imports, so it does not hit web-infra-dev/rspack#16289 on Rspack < 2.3.

Subject: [PATCH 1271/1425] fix(import-protection): Rsbuild dev `log: 'always'`
 reports a kept import SWC keeps on every compilation

An import whose survival depends on SWC is confirmed when Rspack builds its
edge module. A compilation that bundles the edge module without building it
(an edit of an unrelated module, or of the importer keeping the import) now
asks `onViolation` and reports it again with `log: 'always'`, like an import
the compiler keeps (main's behaviour). The edge-module loader records the
modules it built in the compilation; the `finishModules` replay that already
runs with `log: 'always'` confirms the edge modules it kept. `log: 'once'`
does no extra work.

Subject: [PATCH 1272/1425] test(import-protection): the bundler witness rows
 in Vite full-bundle dev

The v2-witness tsconfig-layout, transformer-option and veto rows also run in
Vite's full-bundle dev (`experimental.bundledDev`), where Rolldown requests
the edge module: the client bundle holds the denied file's code only under a
veto, and the import is reported iff oxc keeps it.

Subject: [PATCH 1273/1425] fix(import-protection): dev `log: 'always'` asks
 `onViolation` at every compile, cached plans included

With `log: 'always'`, `onViolation` was asked when a plan was computed, so a
compile the plan cache answered did not ask again: a failed importer
(`behavior: 'error'`) rebuilt by Rspack or requested again from Vite threw
before asking, and Vite asked nothing when it compiled modules again (main
asks at every compile). The planner now decides only `log: 'once'` (its
session memo); with `'always'`, `ImportProtectionEnv.afterCompile` decides
every compile's violations through the same verdict as the edge-module
confirmation and the Rspack kept-module replay (`devVerdict`: a veto makes
the edge module serve the real module). This removes the Rsbuild loader's
cached-compile replay and its per-resource fingerprints. `log: 'once'` and
compiles without violations stay synchronous.

Subject: [PATCH 1274/1425] refactor(router-utils): drop the compiler core's
 unread fields, hooks and fingerprints

- summaries: no objectKeys walk, no isoImplExports/SummaryExtras hook (nothing
  set or read them; objectKeys re-planned importers for nothing), no
  canonicalId/marker copies
- RawFacts: no canonicalId, effectProvenance, has(), packageSideEffectFree
- the 'config' dependency fingerprint: the plan key and the plan
  fingerprint already hold configKey
- EnvInfo: no bundler, conditions, framework, routerSplit; ExportResolver
  memoises per resolver (ResolutionBatch gone). The Rsbuild RSC layer runs
  no router planner, as Vite's provider environment
- HostServices: no readFile/loadVirtual/warnings; the route registry is
  passed once, typed (RouteRegistry.lookup + digestFor)
- write-only fields: InFlight.key/generation/ledger, EmitPlan.key/fallbacks,
  OutputRecipe.id, ImportEntry.phase, ImportSpecifierEntry.range,
  DynamicEdge.callRange, Header.hashbang/comments, SourceIdentity.hostId,
  Fallback/ExtractedExport.cluster, TreeEdit.internal,
  PrefetchContext.summary/targetMarker, PolicyContext.config/ledger
- PlanContext.outputIdFor, OutputBuilder.length, PlanCache.size

Subject: [PATCH 1277/1425] refactor(router-plugin): drop unread planner facts,
 recognition fields and dead host guards

- route-split and route-hmr facts (nothing reads them), SplitDecision.group,
  SplitPlan.notSplit, splitTarget's container/prop, RouteRecognition.reason,
  RouteModuleInfo.factory, RouteOption.propertyRange and
  propertyRangeWithComma (deletion computes its own ranges; the
  delete-nodes-dynamic error now points at the spread itself)
- the HMR planner's null split plan (a recognised route has one), the
  loader's second appliesTo check, the Vite < 6 fallbacks (the peer range
  is >= 6), loader/compiler type fields only the .cjs loader reads
- contextInternals' fallback for a hand-made context; the
  RoutesChangedListener, HmrStyle and routeEntryDigest re-exports

Subject: [PATCH 1279/1425] refactor(router-plugin)!: derive the route HMR
 style from the host; remove plugin.hmr.style

The Vite entry emits Vite's hot API, the Rspack and webpack entries
webpack's: the undocumented option only switched Vite to webpack's API,
which turned route HMR off. Also: the router planners' handler-property
guards are typed once; the HMR hoist reuses methodPrefixOf.

 - **CommonJS consumers need Node 20.19+ or 22.12+** (`engines`): a `webpack.config.js` / `rspack.config.js` that `require()`s the plugin loads the ESM-only parser through `require(esm)`, which Node 22.0–22.11 and 21 do not support.
 - **Routes the compiler cannot read statically stay unsplit with one warning per file per build** naming the file: route options built by a helper call (`createFileRoute('/x')(makeOptions())`), options that spread or compute, methods that read `this`, and route modules the compiler cannot parse. Main split some of these silently or crashed.
 - **`routeTree.gen.ts` formatting changes once** (`enableRouteTreeFormatting` now defaults to `false`; see the route generator's changeset).
-- **Removed:** `codeSplittingOptions.compilerPlugins` (the experimental Babel hook).
+- **Removed:** `codeSplittingOptions.compilerPlugins` (the experimental Babel hook), and `plugin.hmr.style` with its `HmrOptions` type: the option was undocumented, and on Vite its only other value (`'webpack'`) turned route HMR off; each entry now emits its bundler's hot API.
 
 - Any route option value splits: identifiers, inline functions, method shorthands (#8623), object-form loaders (#8753), casts, `satisfies`, calls such as `memo(Page)`, and options held in a module-level constant. Module state the route module and its chunks share exists once (#8754, #8505).
 - **Exported route components and helpers are split too.** An exported pure function, class or component only split code needs leaves the route module: in a build it moves to a small side-effect-free module of its own that the route module re-exports (one instance for every other module importing it from the route file; the bundler drops it when nobody does), and each split chunk carries its own copy, so the chunk never depends on where the bundler places that module (Rolldown < 1.1.5 and a `manualChunks` group merging into the entry kept it eager). In dev the binding stays in the route module and the chunk copies it the same way. An importer of the route file and the route's chunk therefore hold two instances of such a stateless binding (as on main); state, effects and augmented bindings (`Page.displayName = …`) are never copied. Exported bindings that must stay in the route module (side effects, reassignment, read by the route module itself) and extracted modules an entry chunk loads anyway (another module imports the binding through the route file) are each reported once per file, in dev and in builds, on every bundler.

Subject: [PATCH 1281/1425] fix(router-plugin): the router planners read the
 route registry from HostServices.routes

removed services.routes through a cast, recorded no entry and never
validated a plan.

Subject: [PATCH 1282/1425] refactor(router-core): the lazy wrapper's hot slot
 holds its first importer; HMR types only on /hmr

- the hot slot's importer and export name are the ones it was created
  with, so applyRouteHmr needs no WeakMap of first importers
- LazyRouteComponentHot, RouteHmrAdapter and RouteHmrMeta are exported
  from @tanstack/router-core/hmr only (not a public API)
- React's __tsrRouteChunkHmr leaves the server check to router-core

Subject: [PATCH 1283/1425] fix(router-core): one refresh per split-loader edit
 on webpack-style hosts

The route module's evaluation owns the refresh: it clears its route's
evaluated chunks, so the chunk its refreshed loader re-imports is only
recorded instead of refreshing the route (and running the loader) again.
A chunk evaluating again before its route module (Rspack's
lazy-compilation proxy re-resolving it alone) still refreshes. The
docstrings no longer say the chunk accepts itself.

Subject: [PATCH 1284/1425] refactor(start-plugin-core): drop unread Start
 compiler options, facts and fields

- StartEnvConfig.alwaysDeriveProvider and the 'use client' trigger: a
  separate provider (RSC) derives the provider module of every server-fn
  module, in every host
- the Rsbuild session's ssrIsProvider: it is rsc === undefined
- Hydrate: its plan facts (tests read the chunks the outputs import), the
  packages/routerPackages/rejectEverywhere config, the Vue gate (Vue Start
  has no Hydrate)
- start analysis: ChainLink.result, UnsupportedUse.value, the cached
  values/table, the prefetch-name parameter; ServerFnSite.call; hoist's
  analysis parameter; diag's severity/code parameters
- Rsbuild: the late pass's import-protection check, the allocator null
  checks, TransformImportRule.transformToDefaultImport; rsc-css's null
  config; schema's ImportProtectionBehavior; the Vite copy of the RSC
  options type; the unused Queue methods

Subject: [PATCH 1285/1425] refactor(import-protection): drop unread decide
 reports, judged origin and reporter knobs

DecideResult.reports (the build's reports getter serves them),
Judged.from, ViolationType, useDevReporter's reachable and maxWait
parameters (no host passes them), buildReports' pending-pass check (every
host returns on needPass first); the orphaned inScope doc is back on it.

Subject: [PATCH 1286/1425] refactor(router-generator): one event
 classification, leaner tree model, imports under the header

- processBatch: no treeChanged flag (it equals a routes change); one
  classify(path) for the event intake and the batch
- TreeModel: no isAnchor (file === undefined says it), no ModelRoute.filePath
  or root filePath/routePath; no RouteProps/RoutePieceName re-exports
- FileDiagnostic.severity, lit()'s backtick quote and componentUpdate's
  constant indent go
- an added constructor import goes after the directives and the license

  loop (the tests run on copies)

Subject: [PATCH 1288/1425] chore(compiler-test-utils): drop helpers only their
 own controls used, and unread result fields

importerSource, resetLoadedModules, withoutRoot, offsetAt and
originalPositions (with their control tests), BuildResult.duration and
RunNodeOptions.maxBuffer; the pins doc no longer mentions tables of
today's behaviour (none is left).

 that ran no file

Its budget and oracle listing go too; test:noncompiler and

Subject: [PATCH 1290/1425] test: known-bug pins that passed become plain
 tests; KNOWN-BUGS lists the remaining pins

- route-hmr-browser-frameworks: every cell applies in place (checked with
  COMPILER_TESTS_PINS=run), so the hotToday/brokenToday tables go, with
  the two known-bugs-route-hmr tests they duplicated
- code-splitter-module-state-bindings: the two identical it.each of the
  isKnownBug split are one
- react-refresh-route-components covers split and unsplit routes alike;
  the copies in known-bugs-dev-server go
- the Start library CommonJS pin goes (accepted as is)
- KNOWN-BUGS.md: "Remaining pins" and "Fixed, kept as regression tests";
  the known-bugs-* headers say which they hold; comments no longer cite
  files of main's compilers as current

+# Known bugs
+
+Two parts, one entry per root cause: the bug, the SPEC clause, its tests (`file` and test names; paths under
+`packages/`; `$name`, `%s` and `${…}` are table-row placeholders), and what a fix must achieve. The test comment
+(`Bug:`, `Impact:`) has the details.
+
+- **Remaining pins**: bugs today's compiler still has. Each is pinned by `.fails` tests that assert the correct
+  outcome and accept any correct fix. When a compiler fixes one, its pins fail with "Expect test to fail": remove the
+  `.fails`, keep the test, and move the entry to the second part.
+- **Fixed, kept as regression tests**: bugs main's compilers (the Babel-based ones) had, which the compilers on the
+  shared core fix. Their tests run as ordinary tests, mostly in the `known-bugs-*` files. "Cause" files name main's
+  implementation.
+
+## Remaining pins
+
+- **webpack and Rspack keep an exported component another module imports through the route file in the entry
+  chunk** unless the package is side-effect free (`"sideEffects": false`); Vite redirects the import to the extracted
+  module. SPEC J2.5. `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-page-code.test.ts`: "$name loads with
+  its chunk" (the row "an exported component another route's split component renders", webpack and Rspack without
+  `"sideEffects": false`). Fix: the component loads with its chunk on every bundler.
+- **Root routes are never split.** SPEC J2.7 (goal; kept unsplit on purpose, as on main: their components render on
+  every page, or on error and not-found responses). `router-plugin/tests/integration/known-bugs-code-splitter-page-
+code.test.ts`: "a root route's %s loads lazily".
+- **A route module's CSS import loads on every page**: the code splitter keeps the bare import in the route module,
+  which the route tree imports eagerly (in dev the CSS is injected once the client runs; a build merges it into the
+  entry's CSS). SPEC J2.22. `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/known-bugs-route-css.test.ts` (Vite) and
+  `known-bugs-route-css-rsbuild.test.ts` (Rsbuild), rows of `route-css-cases.ts`: "the CSS of the /${name} route
+  applies only once the route matches" (the five `shows-*` rows; dev and build). Fix: the CSS loads when its route
+  matches.
+- **Rsbuild: a route module's first server fn breaks the hot update of its loaded component chunk** when Rspack's
+  `splitChunks` puts the modules the chunk gained into a new async chunk: the re-executed module requires them before
+  anything loads that chunk. Upstream, Rspack's HMR runtime (see "Upstream issues"); a plain Rsbuild app fails the
+  same way. SPEC J3.3, G10. `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/rsbuild/first-server-fn-import.test.ts`: "an edit
+  that adds a server fn to the component shows its result on the open page".
+- **Vite full-bundle dev: an edit that turns what another module imports into a server fn builder does not recompile
+  the importer**, whose client output keeps the handler. SPEC J4.5, G10.
+  `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/start-compiler-dev-server.test.ts`: "a module whose factory becomes a server fn
+  builder: the client bundle drops the handler".
+- **Rsbuild ships the chunk of an unused exported component's boundary**: Rspack drops the unused declaration but
+  still emits the async chunk of the `import()` inside it (webpack behaves the same). SPEC J5.6.
+  `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/hydrate-build-cases.ts`: "an unused exported component with a boundary is not
+  in the client" (Rsbuild).
+- **Rsbuild checks importers by file extension** (JS/TS only): custom module types and `.mdx` are never checked. SPEC
+  J6.1, §2.1. `start-plugin-core/tests/integration/importProtection/known-bugs-dev.test.ts`: "a module of a custom
+  type importing $name is reported, and its real code does not run"; "an .mdx page importing $name is reported in its
+  source, and its real code does not run".
 
-Pins whose input picks a name today's compiler generates (S6) flip with a compiler that generates other names. The
-adaptive pins next to them, which read the names a compiler actually generates, are the real check.

-## Shared causes (several jobs)

-- Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object. The one exception by rule (R77, [ARCHITECTURE-CODE-SPLITTING.md](ARCHITECTURE-CODE-SPLITTING.md)): a pure, unassigned exported binding only chunks need is copied into each chunk, and other importers of the route file share one instance of it; state, effects and augmented bindings are never copied. Which other bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
+- Code splitting must not change what a route does. The route module and its split chunks share one instance of every module-level value: `Route` and any state created at module load exist once, and every chunk sees the same object.

Which other bindings the splitter shares, copies or leaves in the entry is an implementation choice; tests assert values, identity and init counts, never placement.
 - Every option configured for splitting must end up split. When a pattern the user can change prevents it, the option keeps working in the entry and the build warns once, naming the file. When the limitation is ours, it is a bug to fix, not a warning.
 - Splitting and route HMR are planners on the shared compiler core: read [ARCHITECTURE-CODE-SPLITTING.md](ARCHITECTURE-CODE-SPLITTING.md) and the [core README](../router-utils/src/compiler/README.md). Planners only declare roots and edits; placement, dead-code removal and emission belong to the core.
 - Generated route HMR code stays minimal: it calls the framework's `__tsrRouteHmr` from the dev-only `/hmr` subpath (`router-core/src/hmr.ts`), which updates the live route in place (only the route its module exported), replaces lazy-chunk ownership, rebuilds the route tree and refreshes active matches while preserving component identities (React, Solid and Vue). Keep that bookkeeping in the runtime, not in emitted code, and keep it out of production bundles.

Subject: [PATCH 1293/1425] docs: Rsbuild compiler architecture, router plugin
 skill and planner docs say what the code does

- Rsbuild: dev violations pend until the edge module is built (the
  loader's edge pass), a cache hit re-emits from the plan, the resolver
  module itself is rebuilt, the RSC layer runs no router planner
- router-plugin skill: two parts (generator, route compiler), esbuild
  generates routes only
- code-splitting architecture: no root route option is split; the split
  loader's refresh and the MissingFactoryError fallback live in the route
  HMR runtime
- core README: every prepare runs before any plan; route-hmr's prepare
  records unsplit names for every framework

-The composed plugin assembles up to 3 sub-plugins:
+The composed plugin has two parts:
 
 1. **Route Generator** (always) — Watches route files and generates `routeTree.gen.ts`
-2. **Code Splitter** (when `autoCodeSplitting: true`) — Splits route files into lazy-loaded chunks using virtual modules
-3. **HMR** (dev mode, when code splitter is off) — Hot-reloads route changes without full refresh
+2. **Route compiler** — Compiles each route file once per environment: with `autoCodeSplitting: true` it splits route options into lazy-loaded chunks (modules of the route file under a `?tsr-split=` query), and in development it adds route HMR, which hot-updates route changes without a full refresh (`codeSplittingOptions.addHmr: false` turns it off)

Subject: [PATCH 1297/1425] refactor(router-plugin): one router planner,
 configured by one builder

`route-split` and `route-hmr` were one planner presented as two: they
shared one config object under two names, recorded the route-registry
fingerprint twice, read each other's prefetch and passed state through
WeakMaps keyed by the round's rewrite set (`round.ts`, the split plan and
recognition memos). They are now one `router` planner: one config entry,
one prefetch, one gate (`split || deleteNodes || hmr`), and per planning
round one recognition and one decision table (`RouterRound`) read by the
HMR hoists, the split part and the HMR block, in that order, inside its
`plan`. The planner no longer uses the core's `prepare` phase.

`routerPlannerConfigFrom(codeSplittingOptions, env)` builds the
configuration of one environment for every host (RouterCompiler and both
Start hosts), with `routerPlannerConfigDigest` for the config key and
`routerPlannerApplies` for the gate. The config's `hmr` is null outside a
development client, so the "route HMR is on" decision is the builder's;
`routeRefreshMarkers` derives the React refresh-marker decision from it
for the split chunks and Start's Hydrate chunks. Start's rules are one
rule on both bundlers, as Start on Vite on main: the client always has
route HMR (Start on Rsbuild honoured `addHmr: false`, new in this PR) and
erases `ssr`/`server`/`headers`; server environments erase the user's
`deleteNodes` (Start on Rsbuild dropped them, as on main).

Outputs are byte-identical to the previous head on the in-process corpus
(338 route modules: Start dev/build, router-only dev with and without
splitting and build, React and Solid, client and ssr).

Subject: [PATCH 1298/1425] refactor(compiler): drop the planner `prepare`
 phase

Its one user, the route HMR planner, is now the HMR part of the router
planner, whose hoists run first inside its own `plan`. A planning round
runs each planner's `plan` in order. The README said the round ran
`route-hmr`'s `prepare` between `rsc-css` and `route-split`; it ran it
before every planner's `plan`, `start-env`'s included. Running the hoists
after `start-env` and `hydrate` changes nothing they decide: their names
have other bases, their anchors other units, claims nest by range. The
only visible effect is the order of the names in React's refresh
ignored-exports list, a set: the hoists' names are allocated after
start-env's now (4 of 338 modules of the corpus with splitting off).

+Fixed order per env (an array the host passes): `start-env` → `hydrate` → `rsc-css` → `router` → `import-edges`. A
+planning round runs each planner's `plan` in that order; a planner sees the regions, edits and generated names of the
+planners before it. The router plugin alone runs only the `router` planner.

Subject: [PATCH 1299/1425] test(start-plugin-core): Start's router options
 follow one rule on Vite and Rsbuild

The two rows the router planner's configuration builder unified, on both
Start hosts: with `addHmr: false` the client still has route HMR (an edit
shows in place without a full reload; Start on Rsbuild left the page on
the old loader), and the server build erases the user's `deleteNodes`
while the client erases `ssr`/`server`/`headers` instead (Start on
Rsbuild kept the options on the server, as main did). Both Rsbuild rows
fail on the previous head; changeset line for the Rsbuild server change.

Subject: [PATCH 1300/1425] refactor(router-plugin): route HMR marks the split
 chunks' components
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The React refresh marker (`$$tsrRefreshId`) was decided in four places:
the splitter's own copy of dev ∧ client ∧ `hmr` ∧ React, the route HMR
gate, and Start's `refreshMarkers` in both hosts. The builder's `hmr`
(null outside a development client) is the one decision now:
`routeRefreshMarkers(cfg)` derives the marker decision from it, the HMR
part of the router planner emits the markers of the split chunks (the
split part records which components each chunk exports), and Start's
hosts pass the same predicate to the Hydrate planner.

The marker now follows the chunk's export statement instead of preceding
it (a unit of its own, homed in the chunk); the corpus's React dev
client chunks differ by that line's position only.

Subject: [PATCH 1301/1425] refactor(router-core): one dev-only hot slot for
 the lazy route components

The lazy wrapper's hot-update state machine (switch importer, never-loaded
guard, newest import wins, keep or swap, error, re-render) was written
three times, in the React, Solid and Vue `lazyRouteComponent`. It is
`lazyRouteComponentHot` in router-core's dev-only `/hmr` entry now; each
framework's existing dev block (client only, behind the same
`process.env.NODE_ENV` and `isServer` checks) builds a small port over its
wrapper's state and its own re-render (React's store subscription,
Solid's signal, Vue's ref). Production paths are unchanged: the dev block
and its import drop out. The race tests are written once, against the
helper.

Subject: [PATCH 1302/1425] test(router): drop in-process route HMR tests real
 pages cover

The framework route HMR tests and router-core's fake-router tests drove
the dev runtime with hand-built routes. Deleted where a real page covers
the behaviour (router-plugin route-hmr-browser*, known-bugs-route-hmr*,
start-plugin-core route-edits-after-tree-rebuild*, the e2e HMR suite),
or where the race now has one test against the shared hot slot
(router-core lazy-route-component-hot.test.ts):

- React: loader replacement and generated options; unsplit component
  swapped / kept / renamed; the webpack/Rspack refresh call; lazy wrapper
  kept and swapped; a marked split component kept (same refresh id) or
  swapped (no refresh runtime); the newest-import race.
- Solid and Vue: loader replacement; lazy wrapper kept and swapped; Vue's
  function component swapped; the newest-import race.
- router-core: a later evaluation updated after a route tree rebuild; an
  edited root route.

Kept, no real page reaches them: a first load replaced by an update and
a wrapper that never loaded (the adapters' own load path), the bundled-dev
MissingFactoryError fallback, another router holding the route, a router
without the route, the server no-op without a hot slot, the ignored-exports
hook chaining, Solid/Vue keep rules (same export, same __hmrId,
solid-refresh names), another evaluation lineage, chunk HMR.

Subject: [PATCH 1303/1425] test(start-plugin-core): planner tests check names
 by shape, not by spelling
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Which name the core's allocator generates for glue is free, so the planner
tests read it from the output (`tests/generated-names.ts`: `shape`,
`namesIn`, `importedAs`) instead of spelling `TsrHydrate0`, `tsrLazy`,
`tsrArguments`, `tsrCap$…`, `tsrRef$…`, `props$1`, `tsrClientRpc`,
`tsrSsrRpc`, `tsrServerRpc`, `tsrLoadHandlers`, `tsrHandler$…`,
`tsrServerFn$…` or `*_createServerFn_handler`; whole-chunk `toBe`s are
checks of what the test is about. Kept as they were: diagnostics (code and
position), hydration and derived ids, source-map positions, edges, facts.

Deleted from planners/hydrate.test.ts, behaviour covered by the Hydrate
oracle (pages/ on a Vite dev server, hydrate-build*, hydrate-pages*):
- import forms are boundaries: hydrate-boundary-forms "a renamed import of
  Hydrate is a boundary", hydrate-pages "a namespace-imported Start.Hydrate
  loads its children when it hydrates", hydrate-split-modules "client:
  modules and bindings only the split children use are not needed before
  the chunk loads"
- split shorthand and dynamic split: hydrate-split-modules "client: the
  split shorthand splits the children", hydrate-boundary-forms "a dynamic
  split={flag} (%s) still splits the children"
- Solid loads through the Solid router: hydrate-boundary-forms "Solid: a
  Hydrate of @tanstack/solid-start splits with the Solid packages"
- a single expression child: hydrate-split-modules "client: a single
  expression child ($name) renders through the chunk"
- a self-closing boundary's children prop and boundaries nested in it:
  hydrate-split-modules "client: the children prop ($name) of a
  self-closing boundary is deferred", known-bugs-hydrate "client: a boundary
  nested in a children prop hydrates with the id the server renders"
- generated names away from the file universe: hydrate-captures "client:
  $scope bindings named like the generated bindings keep their values",
  known-bugs-hydrate-module-level "client: module-level $name, named like
  the generated bindings, do not collide"
- a chunk-first request: hydrate-build-dev "client: a chunk requested
  before its parent module renders the children, and an edit reaches it"
- captured locals, JSX tags of locals, names bound inside, local enums,
  own this/arguments of inner functions, nested placeholders: hydrate-
  captures "client: the children read the locals of the component $name",
  "client: a nested boundary reads the locals of the component around its
  enclosing boundary"; known-bugs-hydrate "client: the split children render
  a local component named %s", "… render a component bound inside them",
  "… read a local enum", "client: split children may use the own `this` of
  $name"
- Solid use: directives: hydrate-pages-solid "split children run a
  directive declared in the $where"
- module-level code the children use, a let they only assign:
  known-bugs-hydrate-module-level "client: an exported declaration the
  children use has one instance, initialized once", "client: split
  children reading Route $name use the one route", "client: $name that the
  children rely on reaches the chunk", "client: $name used by the children
  reaches the chunk"
- a hook in the boundary's own props: hydrate-boundary-forms "a hook call
  in the props of the boundary runs in the parent render, and the children
  still split"
- split={false}: hydrate-boundary-forms "$name with split={false} stays in
  place in both environments"
- the server strips fallbacks: hydrate-boundary-forms "server: $name is
  removed", hydrate-pages "$how shows, then the children"

Subject: [PATCH 1304/1425] test(router-plugin): run the split-loader routes on
 Rsbuild too

The stateful-route rows skipped the routes whose loader is split on
Rsbuild with automatic code splitting, pointing at a known-bug pin that
is fixed (known-bugs-route-hmr "rsbuild: an edit of a split loader
(codeSplitGroupings: %s) shows its data in place" runs as a regression
test). They pass on Rsbuild now.

Subject: [PATCH 1306/1425] test(router): pin the lazy hot slot's remaining
 transitions

From the bundle-size skill's post-change review of the shared hot slot:
the default export when no export is named, the slot's creation-time
importer and export name (the bundled-dev fallback reads them), a kept
import resolving to the held component, keep not consulted when nothing is
held, a failing newest import winning over a stale success in both settle
orders, what a stale import resolves to. Solid and Vue get the never-loaded
wrapper test React had (the retargeted importer and export name reach the
first load). The helper's doc no longer claims an older import always
settles with the newest one: only while the newest is pending.

Subject: [PATCH 1307/1425] test(router-plugin): a fixed split chunk shows
 after a failed hot import

A real page, React with React Refresh: an edit that makes a route's split
chunk throw when it evaluates (the chunk holds the component and the
loader, so it is no refresh boundary of its own and the route module's
hot import of it fails) shows the error component; the edit that fixes it
must show the fixed component in place. On Rsbuild it does not: the
runtime keeps the held component (same refresh id) and never clears the
failure, so the page shows the error until a reload. Vite reloads the
page on the breaking edit (@vitejs/plugin-react makes the chunk import
itself; Vite reloads an update failing within a circular import), and the
fix then reaches a wrapper whose first load failed, which works.

Main does not have this failure: it keeps no split component across
updates (on main's Rsbuild the breaking edit does not show at all; on
Vite both edits apply in place).

Subject: [PATCH 1308/1425] fix(router-core): a kept hot import clears the
 failure the lazy wrapper held

After a hot import of a lazy route component failed, the wrapper held the
error; a later import the framework's refresh runtime keeps (React: same
`$$tsrRefreshId`; Solid: the same export) left it set and did not
re-render, so the route kept rendering the error until a reload. A
successful hot import settles in both cases now: keep holds the component,
swap takes the loaded one, and either clears the failure and re-renders
(a no-op render of the same component when nothing failed).

Subject: [PATCH 1309/1425] test: guard production bundles and Solid's cold
 start against the dev hot slot

The framework routers' `lazyRouteComponent` imports router-core's dev-only
`/hmr` entry and drops it in production only by dead-code removal. The
production-bundle check compared the build with a control build that
bundles the same framework code, so a leak would not show: it now also
asserts the bundle carries none of the dev runtime's markers (the hot
slot's `__tsrHot`, the route HMR entry `__tsrRouteHmr`), for every
bundler and framework it builds. The cold-start check of Start's Vite dev
server gets a Solid row (the page hydrates in its first document).

Subject: [PATCH 1310/1425] refactor(compiler): stage computePlacement

`computePlacement` was one 2,075-line closure whose phases shared ~100
locals; the fixed point called helpers declared 300-500 lines below it and
invalidated lazy memos by hand. It is now the composition of seven stages
in `placement/`, each a function of the data the previous ones produced:

- clusters.ts: union-find, the write table, ordered evaluation, the
  materialised clusters, the one mutation predicate (`mutatedOutside`) and
  the readers of mutable state (computed with the `ordered-effect`
  fallbacks in one pass over the eager reads, instead of a lazy memo)
- reads.ts: memoised reads and successors per output, `reach`
- roots.ts: the roots planners and the module declare, extraction
  candidates, provenance
- settle.ts: the env-roots / movable / extraction fixed point, helpers
  above the loop; the dev fold of extracted exports
- kept.ts: the kept declarations and their causes
- homes.ts: homes, the single-writer rule, env-declared roots
- inclusion.ts: inclusion, imports and exports

The union-find no longer leaves stage 1: a claimed region is in its
owner's cluster, so a writer's cluster is `clusterOfRegion` and every rule
compares cluster ids. The generated reads `importStays` asks about are
collected only in route modules, when asked.

No behaviour change: identical outputs, maps, edges and diagnostics over
the compiler-perf apps (14,216 outputs) and 5,000 fuzz-generated modules
(353,990 outputs). Micro-bench: -1.7 to -3.2 % per module.

Subject: [PATCH 1311/1425] refactor(compiler): split AnalysisPlan into plan,
 kept diagnostics and freeze

`plan.ts` (2,025 lines) held the planner facade, the benign-call
judgement, the Router-worded warning for declarations only split code
needs, freeze/render/glue and the `Renderer`. Now:

- plan.ts: the planner facade, renames, `resolve()` (525 lines)
- kept-diagnostics.ts: `keptDiagnostic` and `firstImpure` (the benign
  test placement asks, and the effect the warning names); `benignUnit`,
  a one-line wrapper, is gone
- freeze.ts: freeze, env/derived rendering, glue, edges, `Renderer`

The core no longer words Router or Start concepts: the planner that
declares an output says how diagnostics name it (`OutputSpec.describe`,
default its key) and a planner names the module
(`PlanContext.describeModule({ name, tag })`). `setRouteModule` stays:
placement needs it for the route-module import rules (a value import used
only in type positions and TypeScript-only specifiers leave a route
module; plain modules keep imports as written).

Subject: [PATCH 1312/1425] refactor(planners): word the core's
 kept-declaration warnings

The route planner names its modules (`describeModule`: "route module",
tagged `[tanstack-router]`) and the Hydrate planner its chunks
(`describe: '`<Hydrate>` boundary'`), the words the core used to
hard-code. The warnings read as before.

Subject: [PATCH 1313/1425] fix(compiler): one source-edges builder for Tier 0
 and Tier 1

A module only Tier 0 planners read (its env output is its source) and a
planned output built their import edges in two places that disagreed: Tier
0 kept one record per statement and left out the implicit JSX factory, so
an import read only as the factory was an evaluation edge naming nothing.
Under Rsbuild's `source.transformImport` the file rule then judged the
library instead of the submodule the factory's import is rewritten to,
and a denied submodule shipped to the client with no error (Tier 1 caught
it). Both bundlers keep such an import (classic runtime, or a `React`
import next to JSX): it reads the binding.

`edges.ts` builds an output's edges from a view of what renders in it
(`wholeModule` for Tier 0) and both tiers dedupe, so `substitute` replaces
one record's locations. Tier 0 learns the implicit factory reads from a
`ModuleAnalysis.implicitJsxReads()` query (one walk, only in a module with
a factory binding, stopped once an element and a fragment were seen); the
runtime and factory bindings moved from `t1()` to `jsx()`, shared.

Test: start-plugin-core `importProtection/jsx-factory.test.ts` (the Rsbuild
build row failed before; the dev rows pin that both bundlers report a
factory import); router-utils `edges.test.ts` (both tiers alike).

Subject: [PATCH 1314/1425] fix(compiler): a merged edge is located at the
 import that reads a binding

With Tier 0 deduping too, an import of a specifier with type specifiers
only (`import { type T } from './x'`, which TypeScript erases) merged with
a later value import of it led the record's locations, so import
protection reported the violation at the erased import (start-plugin-core
`import-protection-core/planner.test.ts`, J6.5: a relevant import span,
never an erased type position). A binding record's locations now come
first.

Subject: [PATCH 1315/1425] refactor(compiler): the core cleans up
 function-scope orphans once

Function-local declarators and destructuring leaves only erased code read
were cleaned by each planner that erased code (start-env, Hydrate's
server fallbacks, route-split's `deleteNodes`), each with its own scope:
a new erasing planner had to remember the call, and a compile with three
of them walked the bindings three times. `AnalysisPlan.resolve()` now
runs `cleanOrphanedDeclarations` once, after every planner, when the env
module erases anything.

The scope of each removal follows from what orphaned it: every output
when edits addressed to every output alone erased its readers (and what
its run encloses that went before), else the env module, whose liveness
decides every orphan. That is the planners' choice in each case (start-env
with a separate provider and route-split erase in the env module only;
start-env without one and Hydrate's fallbacks everywhere), decided per
removal instead of per planner.

 the core

start-env, Hydrate (server fallbacks) and route-split (`deleteNodes`) no
longer call `cleanOrphanedDeclarations`: the core runs it after every
planner.

Subject: [PATCH 1317/1425] refactor(compiler): export the comma-aware
 list-item removal

`removeListItems` (each run of removed items with its separator, the whole
list with its trailing comma) and `listEnd` (where a list ends, after the
comma that may follow its last item) are shared with the planners that
remove object properties, instead of each keeping its own comma logic.

Subject: [PATCH 1318/1425] fix(planners): remove object properties with the
 core's list helper
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

route-split's `deleteNodes` and Hydrate's server-side `fallback` removal
each had their own comma handling. Both use the core's `removeListItems`
now (route-split: −26 lines, same output).

Hydrate removed a spread object's `fallback` property by itself, leaving
`const props = { , }` (a syntax error in the server build) when it was the
only property and had a trailing comma, which Prettier writes by default.
Test: hydrate-boundary-forms.test.ts "a spread used once, holding only the
fallback, with a trailing comma".

Subject: [PATCH 1319/1425] perf(compiler): yield in dev for a module's own
 imports only
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In dev every resolution of an analysis waited for a macrotask, so a
pending server-fn request gets in between an update's resolutions as it
did while each was resolver I/O (+3.4 ms per server-fn edit without it;
one yield per compile did not restore it). A compile that follows a
barrel's `export *` chain resolves hundreds of specifiers of other modules
and paid one turn each (~909 per route module of a 2-level, 50-module
barrel), ~1 µs of scheduling apiece.

Only the module's own imports yield now. Every module of the compiler-perf
apps yields exactly as before (all their yields were own imports, the
server-fn probe module's one included), so the server-fn HMR latency is
unchanged; the barrel route modules yield 12 times instead of 909: dev
compile -23 % sequential, -29 % with all modules at once (in-process,
paired, identical outputs). Builds never yield.

Test: pipeline.test.ts "gives pending macrotasks a turn per own import in
dev, not per re-export it follows" (22 turns before).

Subject: [PATCH 1321/1425] perf(compiler): the orphan cleanup rejects a live
 binding first

The core runs the function-scope cleanup whenever the env module erases
anything (a split identifier option already does), so its pass over every
binding now runs on most planned modules. It read each binding's
declarations (a Yuku getter) before asking whether the binding is orphaned
at all; it asks that first now (most bindings have a live reference).
Same removals; the micro-bench went from +2.2 % (react-start ssr) to
-1.5 % per module against b25a528bc4.

Subject: [PATCH 1322/1425] fix(router-plugin, start-plugin-core):
 webpack-family source maps hold the compiled files' text

Since the compiler's maps carry no sourcesContent (281a9967ea), Rspack,
webpack and Rsbuild had no text for the files the compilers transform:
devtools showed nothing for route files, split chunks, Start modules
and Hydrate chunks (main showed the transformed code). Vite was not
affected: its dev server reads the text from `sources`, Rollup and
Rolldown take the module's code.

These bundlers hash a module with its map, so the whole file's text in
every output's map hot-updates every output of an edited file. The
module maps carry the text only where no hot update can happen or the
maps are inside the code (production; eval/inline devtools). In
development with a devtool writing map files, the loader records the
text and a processAssets step after the devtool fills the emitted maps
(`emittedMapTexts`): the hashes, and so the hot updates, are unchanged.
Modules the persistent cache restored get their file's text read once.

+Rspack, webpack and Rsbuild source maps hold the original text of every file the compilers transform (route files and their split chunks, Start modules, `<Hydrate>` chunks), so devtools and error trackers show the file as written instead of the transformed code. In development the text is added to the emitted map files, after the bundler hashed the modules: an edit hot-updates only the modules whose code changed. With a devtool that puts maps inside the code (`eval-*`, `inline-*`), the module maps carry it.

Subject: [PATCH 1323/1425] test: source-map tests assert the map holds the
 user's file

The dev and build source-map tests of the router plugin and Start also
check the text the map holds for the source a throw maps to (what a
debugger shows), and the Rspack and webpack rows gain a development
build. SPEC G6 states it: the emitted map holds the file as written
unless the configuration leaves sources out.

Subject: [PATCH 1324/1425] chore(e2e): the Rsbuild e2e apps and examples use
 the catalog @rsbuild/core

The lockfile resolved ^2.1.0 to Rsbuild 2.1.1 / Rspack 2.1.1, whose
persistent cache changes the dev build hash on a warm restart (fixed in
Rspack 2.1.3), so open tabs full-reload. The e2e apps take catalog:
(2.2.14 / Rspack 2.2.9); the examples, which stay copyable outside the
workspace, take the catalog's range. Peer ranges unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 1325/1425] refactor(compiler): one diagnostics reporter next
 to the warning ledger

The warning ledger builds its own (file, code, wording) key; the hosts'
three copies of the reporting policy (errors from every compile, warnings
once per file, reason and wording per run) become
`reportCompileDiagnostics`, with each compiler's parse-failure wording as
a hook and each host's sink for positions and messages.

Two alignments: the router's Vite host reports a compile's errors before
its warnings (as Start's hosts), and Start's server-side parse warning is
keyed by its wording like every other warning (R78).

Subject: [PATCH 1326/1425] refactor(compiler): one eager-export warning,
 deduped by the ledger on every host

`warnEagerExports` words and dedupes the warning of an extracted export an
entry chunk loads (J2.8) for the four hosts: the router's Vite and webpack
hosts now warn once per (file, export) per run through the context's
ledger, as Start's hosts do (a webpack/Rspack watch build warned again on
every compilation).

Subject: [PATCH 1327/1425] refactor(compiler): the hosts' bundler-shaped
 helpers in their own section

`router-utils/src/compiler/hosts/` holds what the router and Start hosts
share and the core model never uses: `isFinalBuild`, rebuilds and
invalidated files, eager extracted exports, emitted maps' text, and two
helpers that were copies: `composeLoaderMap` (a webpack-family loader's
output map, with `@jridgewell/remapping`, now a router-utils dependency
only) and `webpackResourceId` (a resource's id, `#` unescaped).
`normalizePath` has one definition beside `identify`; the copies in
router-plugin, Start's hosts, import protection and the start-env planner
use it.

Subject: [PATCH 1328/1425] refactor(start-plugin-core): one bundler-free Start
 session for the Vite and Rsbuild hosts

`compiler/session.ts` (`StartCompilerSession`) owns what a Start compile
is in both hosts: the raw facts, caches, import protection, server-fn
registry and id allocator, the warning ledger; the planners, configuration
and `EnvInfo` of an environment (and Rspack layer); `afterCompile`
(registry record, then import protection); the one reporting policy; the
custom-id ranking. `providerModuleId` moves beside the registry. The Vite
plugin and the Rsbuild loader keep their bundler wiring and their explicit
differences: Vite's provider environment vs Rsbuild's server environment
and RSC layer (`providerEnv`, `rscLayer`), Vite's pre-bundled
dependencies (`isOpaque`), the hot API style, edge-module ids.

A separate server-fn provider is RSC (no published adapter has another);
the configuration is computed once per (environment, layer) instead of per
Rsbuild compile.

 # Start compiler and bundler integration
 
 - Virtual prefixes and query parameters can be part of a module's identity. Preserve them in resolution, loading, and module-cache keys; use `cleanId` only for physical-file matching, diagnostics, and file invalidation. Load compiler dependencies through the bundler host.
-- The compiler is a set of planners (`src/planners/`) on the shared [compiler core](../router-utils/src/compiler/README.md), hosted by `src/vite/compiler-plugin.ts` and the Rsbuild loaders ([COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE.md](src/rsbuild/COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE.md)). Server-function recognition is in `src/compiler/`, ids/registry/resolver in `src/server-fns/`.
+- The compiler is a set of planners (`src/planners/`) on the shared [compiler core](../router-utils/src/compiler/README.md), hosted by one bundler-free session (`src/compiler/session.ts`: planners, configuration, registry, import protection, reporting) that `src/vite/compiler-plugin.ts` and the Rsbuild loaders ([COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE.md](src/rsbuild/COMPILER_ARCHITECTURE.md)) wire to their bundler. Server-function recognition is in `src/compiler/`, ids/registry/resolver in `src/server-fns/`.
 - For import-protection changes, read `src/planners/edges.ts` (per-output edges, mock substitution) and `src/import-protection/` (rules, build verdicts after tree-shaking, `onViolation` fixed point, reports). Preserve adapter-specific deferral and survival checks; development has no build-time tree-shaking, and Vite's error/mock modes differ. Cover actual leaks and safe boundaries in cold/warm development and builds.
 - Compiler output must match runtime contracts in `start-client-core`, `start-fn-stubs`, and `start-server-core`. For `createServerFn`, cover client, SSR caller, and server-provider output separately in [`tests/createServerFn/createServerFn.test.ts`](tests/createServerFn/createServerFn.test.ts).
 - Use a built Start e2e app to validate generated imports and runtime behavior together; compiler snapshots alone do not exercise that integration.

Subject: [PATCH 1329/1425] refactor(router-plugin, start-plugin-core): the
 Vite hosts share derived loads and graph invalidation

`loadDerivedSource` is the one `load` of a derived id of a project file
(router's and Start's copies), and `applyViteInvalidation` applies an
`invalidate()` result to an environment's module graph for both Vite hosts,
Start's refinements as opt-ins (the changed file's own modules left to
Vite's update; an `unlink`'s dependents held until the next `add`).
Start's `hotUpdate` keys its one invalidation per file event on the
event's `read` function, which Vite shares across the environments' hook
contexts, instead of a memo evicted by a 10 s timer.

Subject: [PATCH 1330/1425] fix(router-generator, router-plugin,
 start-plugin-core, router-cli): one generator session for every watch mode

`createGeneratorSession` (router-generator) is the one policy of the
Rspack/webpack plugins, Start's Rsbuild plugin and `tsr watch`: a build
runs once; a watch mode starts the generator's own watcher, waits until it
is ready, then runs (no event of the meantime is lost; concurrent first
watch compilations share that run); every later watch compilation hands the
generator its modified and removed files and waits for their run, so it
sees what its own events generate (Start reads the client route tree at its
`finishMake`). The registry is handed over after every run: a failed
batch leaves it as it was.

Start's Rsbuild plugin watched the route roots in development only, so
`rsbuild build --watch` never saw a route file created while watching
(not in the bundle, not reported by Rspack): the new
start-build-watch-routes test timed out waiting for the rebuild.

@@ -41,6 +41,7 @@ Start's Vite and Rsbuild plugins run on the new compiler core instead of Babel:
 - Dev answers the SPA shell with `spa.enabled` (#8543) and no longer forces `server.compress: false` (#8544).
 - The server environment shares async chunks instead of duplicating the route modules the server function resolver imports.
 - `router.codeSplittingOptions.deleteNodes` applies to the server environment, as on Vite: the listed route options are removed from the server build's route modules (they were kept). The client keeps removing `ssr`, `server` and `headers` instead.
+- `rsbuild build --watch` picks up route files created while it watches: they never reached the route tree before.

Subject: [PATCH 1331/1425] refactor(start-plugin-core): one route generator
 configuration for Start on Vite and Rsbuild

`startGeneratorConfig` builds the generator configuration of both Start
plugins: the router options as the Start config parsed them (Rsbuild no
longer parses them again), the framework's target, one plugin list, and
Start's footer computed at every print. Start's Vite plugin printed the
first result of a function-form `routeTreeFileFooter` for the whole
session; it now gives the function's current lines like Rsbuild and a
router app's own footer (start-dev-route-tree-footer test: the Vite row
fails before). The Vite route tree plugin uses the shared `escapeRegExp`.

 - Solid Start server environments split route components like the client, so hydration keys agree.
 - Require `exsolve` `^1.1.3`, so memory no longer grows across builds in one process. Entry lookups bypass its process-wide cache, so an entry file created after a dev server restart is found.
 - The plugins load the router-core helpers they need from the new `@tanstack/router-core/tooling` entry instead of the router runtime.

Subject: [PATCH 1332/1425] refactor(router-generator, router-plugin): the
 generator owns the route files' real paths

The generator records each route file's real path when it reads it and
publishes the registry under both the scanned and the real path (a
symlinked file or root); a real path that is another scanned route file
stays that file's. The registry view no longer resolves symlinks per
registry, `changedRoutePaths` no longer resolves each changed path (it
could not for a deleted file: the previous registry names its real path
now), and the generator's per-root real-path mapping goes.

Subject: [PATCH 1333/1425] refactor(start-plugin-core): one opacity predicate
 for the summaries

Vite's pre-bundled dependencies were opaque twice over: the start-env
prefetch skipped a resolved `node_modules/.vite/` id (`StartEnvConfig
.isOpaque`) besides the raw facts' `opaque` rule. The Vite host now gives
the session its one extra rule for the raw facts (`opaque`); such a
module's summary is null, so its values are unknown to the prefetch as
before. `isOpaque` goes from the planner config and the prefetch.

Subject: [PATCH 1334/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): a compile replaces its
 module's server functions in the registry

The registry only inserted or overwrote ids, so on Vite an edit that removed
a createServerFn left its id registered: the dev lookup re-exported a missing
wrapper (a TypeError instead of an unknown id). The registry now keeps, per
environment, the server functions each defining module's last compile
reported; every compile replaces its module's snapshot (with none too, an
untouched module included), and the entries are the aggregate. Rsbuild's
finishMake replay replaces its environment's snapshots in the same registry
instead of keeping its own copy; a deleted file is forgotten through one
session operation.

Subject: [PATCH 1335/1425] fix(router-core, react-router): route HMR forgets
 the routes a rebuilt tree drops

The route HMR runtime kept, per route id, the evaluations, split chunks and
(React) the refresh-ignored exports of every route a dev session ever saw,
also after the route was removed or renamed. When it has the router read its
route tree again, it now forgets the ids the router held before and no longer
holds; ids the router never held stay (a route module evaluates before the
route tree module that adds it runs). React's ignored exports remember their
route id and are retired with it.

Subject: [PATCH 1339/1425] refactor(router-utils, router-plugin): the shared
 Vite host helpers live in the compiler's hosts

applyViteInvalidation, liveModules and loadDerivedSource are new in this
PR and only Start uses them besides the router host: they move to
router-utils' hosts/vite.ts, so @tanstack/router-plugin/vite gains no
public exports.

Subject: [PATCH 1340/1425] refactor(router-utils): drop the plan's unread
 summary digest and source length

PlanFacts.publishedSummaryDigest was written and never read; publish()
stays for its side effect. EmitPlan.sourceLength had only test readers,
which now check the published plan's revision.

Subject: [PATCH 1342/1425] refactor(router-utils): gates and prefetches get
 only what planners read

No gate reads GateContext.env and no prefetch reads PrefetchContext.env or
.config since the router planners merged and start-env stopped reading
its config: the planner contract drops them.

Subject: [PATCH 1343/1425] refactor(router-utils): drop unread core fields

- EdgeRecord.output and the edge builder's output parameter: edges are
  keyed by output already;
- Tier1.tail: its last reader went with erasedParts' range;
- the 'region' root kind: no planner roots a region;
- PlanContext.fallbacks: planners use fallbackAt; the toy planners do too.

Subject: [PATCH 1348/1425] test(start-plugin-core): the .mdx import-protection
 warning is located

The .mdx page's warning is located in the page's source (the late
import-protection pass maps it through MDX's source map), as the next
test already requires: the first test asserts it too instead of
accepting a report without coordinates, and the comments stop calling
that a pinned bug.

Subject: [PATCH 1350/1425] fix(start-plugin-core, router-utils): load a
 virtual id through the environment that resolved it

`vite build --watch` of a Start app failed before any edit: `Could not
load \0%23tanstack-start-server-fn-resolver`. The raw facts read a
virtual module through every environment's loader in turn; in watch mode
the client and SSR builds run at once, so the live client build's
`this.load` of the SSR-only resolver registered a failed module.

The core's `loadVirtual` now receives the environment asking for the
facts (the one that resolved the id), and the Vite host loads through
that environment's loader only. The Start build harness builds Vite apps
in watch mode too (`watchEdits`).

Subject: [PATCH 1351/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): vite build --watch rebuilds
 against the edit

Three gaps of `vite build --watch` once the first build succeeds:

- the server environment built at the same time as the client, so its
  server-function resolver listed what the client had compiled so far
  (often none): Start's build loop now waits for the client's first
  watch build, as a one-shot build does;
- every client rebuild emptied the server-function registry while the
  server environment rebuilt from it: a watch rebuild keeps it (each
  compile replaces its module's functions, a deleted file is forgotten);
- no invalidation ran on a file event, so an unchanged importer reused a
  plan validated against stale raw facts (a module an edit marked
  server-only stayed in the client): `watchChange` runs the one
  invalidation operation in build mode too.

Subject: [PATCH 1353/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild dev server keeps
 the server's shared chunk only

The server `router` cache group merges the router's chunk with the
server-function providers' to save production bytes; its `chunks` test
ran on every dev rebuild (~1,600 calls, ~6 ms per server compilation).
The dev server needs only the shared group (one instance per module).

 when the file set is unchanged

After every dev compilation `retain` re-identified every plan, raw-facts
entry and import-protection record to drop state of files the compilation
no longer depends on; with the same files as the last compilation (every
plain edit) there is nothing to drop.

Subject: [PATCH 1355/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild replays
 restored-module checks in the first compilation only

The `finishMake` passes looking for modules restored from Rspack's
persistent cache (unjudged importers, unconfirmed edge modules) walked
every module of every dev compilation. Rspack loads the cache's module
graph only in a compiler's first compilation: the persistent cache's
`before_build_module_graph` returns for `is_rebuild` compilations, and
every compilation after the first is a rebuild (Rspack 2.0.0 to 2.2.9).

Subject: [PATCH 1356/1425] test(start-plugin-core): a watch build's first
 build is reported, not thrown, on both bundlers

Rsbuild watch builds already let the first build fail (a test relies on
it) and described the rebuild; the Vite watch builds now do the same, and
`StartBuild.firstBuild` holds what the first build reported, so a test
can check that it succeeded.

Subject: [PATCH 1360/1425] test(e2e): the Rsbuild overlay spec reads the line
 from Rspack's file-less SWC code frame

Rspack 2.1.6 (web-infra-dev/rspack#14921) prints SWC's code frame header as
`[line:col]`, without the file, which the overlay shows on its `File:` line.
Since 5ebce5532b moved the e2e apps to Rspack 2.2.9, the server entry's line
read as null.

Subject: [PATCH 1365/1425] fix(router-utils): glue writes a string export name
 as a string literal

`export { Page as 'page-view' }` next to a split component was re-exported
from its extracted module unquoted (`Page as page-view`), which does not
parse; a chunk importing a binding the route module exports under such a
name had the same problem. Main failed too ("Export 'Page' is not
defined").

Subject: [PATCH 1366/1425] fix(router-utils): a module-level destructuring
 leaf another output takes stays in its pattern

`const { Home, HomeSkeleton } = views` with `component: Home` split and
`HomeSkeleton` kept: the orphan cleanup pruned `Home` from the route
module's pattern (its only reader there was the moved option), while
placement kept the declarator in the route module and the chunk imported
`Home` from it. The build failed ("Export 'Home' is not defined", or
MISSING_EXPORT when the declaration is exported); main built both.

A module-level leaf now stays while it is exported (importers read it) or
another output takes it (one of its roots names it, or a claimed region
reads it); placement then keeps the declarator in place or moves it.
Leaves only deleted code read (deleteNodes, server-only handlers) are
still pruned.

Subject: [PATCH 1367/1425] fix(router-utils): an expression default export
 reading an extracted candidate stays in the route module

`export default () => <Page />` next to an exported `Page` the split
component renders became an export companion of `Page` and left with it
for the extracted module; the route module's re-export lists only local
exports, so `default` was gone (MISSING_EXPORT for an importer, silent
otherwise). Main built it. Only `export default x` of an identifier is a
companion now; an expression default is an env root, and `Page` stays in
the route module with the `live` kept-export warning.

Subject: [PATCH 1368/1425] fix(router-utils): an augmentation with an effect
 of its own keeps its export in the route module

`Page.x = track('page')` with an imported `track`: the augmentation did
not count as a side effect of `Page`'s cluster, so `Page` left for a
side-effect-free extracted module only the chunk imported and
`track('page')` ran when the chunk loaded, after the route module's later
effects (Vite, Rspack and webpack). Main ran it in order.

Units record whether an augmentation does more than write what it
augments (a pure value, key or argument written to a member chain of the
binding); such a unit counts in the cluster's `sideEffects`, so the export
stays in the route module with the `effects` kept-export warning.
`Page.displayName = 'Page'` and other pure static props still leave with
their export.

Subject: [PATCH 1370/1425] fix(router-generator): a route file that does not
 parse fails a cold run, naming it

R86: a route file the generator cannot parse never silently drops out of
a build. A file no earlier read of the generator knows (a cold
`tsr generate`, a build's generation, a dev server's first generation, a
file created broken) makes the run reject naming the file, and the route
tree on disk is left as it is, as on main: `tsr generate` exits 1 and a
build fails on the file the tree still imports. The bundler plugins' and
`tsr watch`'s session reports the failure (console.error, as main's
plugin did) and the dev server goes on. A file that was read before (dev,
watch) still keeps its last good route with a warning.

Subject: [PATCH 1371/1425] docs: deleteNodes refusals, removed router-plugin
 exports and afterTransform in the changesets
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- router-plugin: with `codeSplittingOptions.deleteNodes` (every Start
  client build), options built by a call or imported, and a spread or
  computed key that may hold a listed option, fail the build naming the
  file (SPEC J2.8, J2.14), they do not stay unsplit with a warning.
- start: the same, as a client build error, with the fix.
- router-plugin: the six root exports of the Babel splitter removed
  without mention (`unpluginRouterCodeSplitterFactory`,
  `getObjectPropertyKeyName`, `CodeSplitCompilerPlugin`,
  `ReferenceRouteCompilerPlugin`, `ReferenceRouteCompilerPluginContext`,
  `VirtualRouteSplitNodeCompilerPluginContext`); a string export name next
  to a split component builds.
- router-generator: `GeneratorPlugin.afterTransform` is removed.
- SPEC §2.2: factory-built options follow J2.8 (under Start removed, or a
  build error).

 - **Removed:** `codeSplittingOptions.compilerPlugins` (the experimental Babel hook), and `plugin.hmr.style` with its `HmrOptions` type: the option was undocumented, and on Vite its only other value (`'webpack'`) turned route HMR off; each entry now emits its bundler's hot API.

Module state the route module and its chunks share exists once (#8754, #8505). A component exported under a string name (`export { Page as 'page-view' }`) next to a split component builds (main failed).
 - **Exported route components and helpers are split too.** An exported pure function, class or component only split code needs leaves the route module: in a build it moves to a small side-effect-free module of its own that the route module re-exports (one instance for every other module importing it from the route file; the bundler drops it when nobody does), and each split chunk carries its own copy, so the chunk never depends on where the bundler places that module (Rolldown < 1.1.5 and a `manualChunks` group merging into the entry kept it eager). In dev the binding stays in the route module and the chunk copies it the same way. An importer of the route file and the route's chunk therefore hold two instances of such a stateless binding (as on main); state, effects and augmented bindings (`Page.displayName = …`) are never copied. Exported bindings that must stay in the route module (side effects, reassignment, read by the route module itself) and extracted modules an entry chunk loads anyway (another module imports the binding through the route file) are each reported once per file, in dev and in builds, on every bundler.
 - **A top-level declaration only split code needs that must stay in the route module is reported** once per declaration, in dev and in builds, on every bundler, positioned at it and naming what keeps it: a side effect written after it that stays (for example an inline `validateSearch: type({ … })`, named with its line), several split options reading it, a top-level change of it, or a value it reads as the file loads. `/* @__PURE__ */` on the call, or `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` on a function declared in the route file, lets it split. Calls of the router's own side-effect-free APIs with constant arguments (`getRouteApi`, `linkOptions`, `createLink`, `createRouteMask`, `lazyRouteComponent`, `lazyFn`, `retainSearchParams`, `stripSearchParams`, `parseSearchWith`, `stringifySearchWith`, `createRouterConfig`) are no such side effect when imported from the router package (also under another name or as a namespace member): `const { useSearch } = getRouteApi('/x')` splits with the component.
 - `createFileRoute` & co. are recognised by their import binding. Routes whose options cannot be read statically, and methods or function expressions that read `this` (#8688), stay in the route module with one warning naming the file.

Subject: [PATCH 1372/1425] fix(router-plugin): React + Vite route HMR
 validates the route file's own exports again

The route module's React Refresh boundary ignored every module-level
export (R41), so plugin-react never invalidated it: a module importing a
route file's non-component value (a label, query options) kept the old
value after an edit. Main ignored only `Route`.

The ignored list is now the route's export names, the anchor and the
module-level bindings the user does not export (the compiler's glue for
the chunks, over-approximated). plugin-react validates the user's other
exports, as on main: a component updates in place, an edited value
invalidates the module and reaches its importers (a reload when no
importer accepts it).

Two tests that asserted in-place updates for an edit adding `export` to
the route component (router-plugin `route-hmr-after-split-change`, Start
`start-dev-route-split-change`) now allow that edit to reload: the export
list changed, and plugin-react reloads on a new export, as on main. The
edits after it (removing the export, a text edit) still apply in place.

Subject: [PATCH 1373/1425] fix: a build that does not watch fails when its
 route generation fails

R86: builds are cold runs, so a route file the generator cannot parse
fails them, naming the file. The generator session gets `build()` (hands
the registry over, then rethrows), used by the hooks of builds that do not
watch: Vite's `configResolved` for `vite build` without `--watch`, the
Rspack/webpack `beforeRun`, Start's Rsbuild `beforeRun`. Dev servers and
watch builds keep reporting the failure (`run()`). Before, the build went
on with an empty route registry: the Rspack/webpack hosts compile only the
registry's route files, so every route stayed unsplit with only the
generator's error said.

`code-splitter-unparsed-route.test.ts` asserted that a route file the
compiler cannot parse (an SWC-accepted grammar error) builds unsplit with
one warning on Rspack; under R86 the build fails naming the file, on Vite,
Rspack and webpack.

Subject: [PATCH 1374/1425] test(router-utils): pin plan-cache concurrency
 findings of review 1

Claim #3: an overtaken attempt's discard drops the dependents-index row the
newer attempt shares (stale HMR after two quick saves); the in-flight record
goes before validation (no same-revision dedupe); waits count as attempts (a
fourth concurrent request of an unparsable file throws "changed repeatedly");
a validated hit deletes the entry another request republished meanwhile.

Subject: [PATCH 1375/1425] fix(router-utils): requests of one text share one
 compile; dependents rows outlive overlapping attempts

Per-key attempt state had no single owner: an overtaken attempt's discard
dropped the dependents row a newer overlapping attempt shared (a later
dependency edit no longer reached the importer after two quick saves), the
in-flight record went before validation and publication (a same-revision
request compiled again), waits on other requests counted as attempts (the
fourth concurrent request of an unparsable file threw "changed
repeatedly"), and a validated hit evicted the entry republished meanwhile.

Now a compile of a key at one revision is one flight from its first attempt
until it settled; requests of that text wait for it and emit their own
output from its outcome, and only the owner's attempts count. Rows in
flight live until the key's last compile ends, publication makes the
published rows exactly the plan's, and a hit evicts only itself.

Subject: [PATCH 1376/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Vite build --watch
 invalidates the file Rolldown reports on Windows

watchChange normalised the id for forget() but passed Rolldown's native path
(backslashes on Windows) to invalidate(), whose keys are Vite's forward-slash
ids: on Windows a watch rebuild reused the edited file's facts and its
dependents' plans. Both file hooks now build their change once at the hook
boundary and use that path for every call (hotUpdate held the same
per-call-site normalisation).

Subject: [PATCH 1378/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Vite build --watch refuses
 a server fn the client stopped importing

A watch rebuild keeps the registry and replaces a module's client snapshot
only when the client compiles it again, so a module the client no longer
bundles stayed client-referenced and its functions callable over HTTP (main
too). The client build now drops, at its buildEnd, the snapshots of modules
outside its module graph (as Rsbuild's replay replaces the env's), and the
server's resolver waits for the client rebuild a file event started (the
environments rebuild at once) and watches the client graph's files, so an
edit only the client bundles rebuilds the server too.

Subject: [PATCH 1379/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): dependency scripts reach
 the Vite compile hook only when their text names Start

The Start compile hook's filter was by id only, so every node_modules
script crossed into JavaScript to be refused by the compile scope's text
test. The compile hook now excludes dependency ids, and a second hook per
environment takes dependency scripts behind that text test as a code
filter (the same handler). When import protection's scope may reach a
dependency by its path (an include, or a source directory holding the
root's node_modules), the second hook keeps no code filter: the scope
decides as before (new build test).

Subject: [PATCH 1380/1425] fix(router-core): the server route tree cache
 misses a route tree re-evaluated on the same root

Outside NODE_ENV=development, the first server router's processed route
tree is cached for the process, keyed by the route tree object. The route
tree export is the root route, an unchanged module's export: re-evaluating
the route tree module after an edit gives that same root new children, so a
dev server under another NODE_ENV (NODE_ENV=production vite dev, a dev
server under test) kept rendering the routes from before the edit. The
cache is now keyed by the root's children (new on every evaluation); a root
without children is never served from it (two such roots would match).

This made Start's in-process SSR-after-edit tests depend on which file ran
first in their process. The route-level SSR test of review 1's claim #7 runs
in a process of its own (integration-alone) and fails without the fix.

 # Router core
 
-- `RouterCore.update` gates shared route-tree caching with `process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'development'`. `loadRouteChunk` checks promise ownership outside production so obsolete lazy imports cannot overwrite HMR changes. Preserve both behaviors; validate hot updates while imports are pending.
+- `RouterCore.update` gates shared route-tree caching with `process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'development'` and keys it on the root route's `children` (a dev server under another `NODE_ENV` re-evaluates the route tree module, which gives the same root new children; a root without children is never served from the cache). `loadRouteChunk` checks promise ownership outside production so obsolete lazy imports cannot overwrite HMR changes. Preserve both behaviors; validate hot updates while imports are pending.
 - Route hooks, lifecycle callbacks, and abort listeners can navigate synchronously. Recheck the internal navigation owner after callbacks and awaits before publishing state/assets. Public loader abort signals belong to shared data generations; self-aborting a loader does not discard its result or error. Preserve loader ownership when transferring work between preload, navigation, cache, and background loads; see [`tests/preload-public-signal-lifetime.test.ts`](tests/preload-public-signal-lifetime.test.ts).
 - Reusing loader work/data does not reuse `beforeLoad`: each active preload and subsequent navigation reruns it. Keep its returned context separate from reusable route-context contributions; see [`tests/public-preload-lane-contract.test.ts`](tests/public-preload-lane-contract.test.ts).
 - Code emitted into HTML (`?script-string` entries and RawStream factories) executes without module scope. Keep it self-contained; pass dependencies explicitly. Validate emitted strings through the existing execution tests after refactors (`RawStream`, `scroll-restoration-script`, `tsr-script-teardown`).

Subject: [PATCH 1381/1425] fix(router-utils, start-plugin-core): a deleted
 file leaves the emitted-maps texts and Vite output digests

Both maps were bounded by the paths ever compiled, not by the live files:
a deleted or renamed file kept its text (webpack-family emitted maps) and
its output digests (Vite dev). The emitted-maps helper forgets the removed
files of each watch compilation; the Vite host forgets a deleted file's
digests where it forgets its server fns and import protection records.

 bands

The claim, glue-import and core bands of TreeEdit.seq (1e9 + region, 1.5e9,
2e9) and the nesting offset (+0.5) become documented constants in one place;
the derived outputs' after-imports position gets a name.

Subject: [PATCH 1384/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): the client registry sweep
 runs in watch builds only

A one-shot build cleared the registry at buildStart, so the sweep of the
module graph at the client's buildEnd (2.7 ms on react-start-deps) found
nothing to drop.

Subject: [PATCH 1385/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin two builders derived
 from one imported builder leaking a handler to the client

Review 1 claim #1: Start's prefetch reads a concurrent second lookup of one
(module, export) as a cycle, so one derived builder goes unrecognised and its
handler ships in the client (dev and both production builds).

Subject: [PATCH 1386/1425] test(start-plugin-core): a glob or template import
 of a denied file never runs in the client

Pinned .fails: the compile judges only the imports it reads, before the
bundler expands import.meta.glob / webpackContext / template import(); the
denied module ships and runs, unreported (Vite build/dev/bundledDev, Rsbuild
build/dev). main mocks all of them (reports them in vite build only).

Subject: [PATCH 1388/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Start's prefetch recognises
 a builder two imports reach at once

Start's cross-module prefetch checked one `active` set shared by all of a
module's lookups before its memo, so a second concurrent lookup of the same
(module, export) read the first one's unfinished work as a cycle and got
`unknown`: with two builders derived from one imported builder, one handler
and what it imports shipped to the client, in dev and in production, on Vite
and Rsbuild.

The prefetch now uses the export resolver's model: each top-level lookup has
its own path, a key met again on its own path is a cycle, and only settled
results that no cut cycle touched are memoised (waiting on an unfinished
lookup deadlocks on a real cycle). Both use one guard, `LookupPath`, in
router-utils.

Subject: [PATCH 1389/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): a denied file a pattern
 import reaches is mocked and reported

A denied file reached only through an import the compiler does not read
(`import.meta.glob`, a template literal `import()`, Rsbuild's
`import.meta.webpackContext`) ran in the client unreported on every host,
also with the `error` behaviour: the plan judges the imports it reads, and
the bundler expands these after the compile.

Judged from the target's side now: a module that a file rule or its own
marker denies in the environment it is compiled in is its own violation
(each import of it the plan reads is substituted, so an unread import
brought it there). The host serves its mock unless the module is allowed:
an import of it was vetoed, or an exempt importer (`exclude`,
`ignoreImporters`) imports it, whose imports the planner now indexes (it is
compiled before the module it imports). A dev compile reports it then,
naming the module itself; a build decides it on survival like every build
violation (mock first) and names each importer from the bundle's graph.
Rspack's graph view looks through context modules for that.

Main mocked these silently except in Vite builds, and mocked them for
exempt importers too, which keep the real module here.

+Import protection checks the imports a bundler expands from a pattern too: a denied file reached only through `import.meta.glob`, a template literal `import()` or `import.meta.webpackContext` is replaced by its mock and reported, in dev and in builds, on Vite and Rsbuild (a build names each module importing it, a dev server the denied file). Rsbuild builds with the `error` behaviour now fail on such an import, and Vite and Rsbuild dev servers report it (they used to mock it silently).

 These defaults mean you can use the `.server.ts` / `.client.ts` naming convention to restrict files to a single environment without any configuration. To also deny entire directories (e.g. `server/` or `client/`), add them via `files` in your [deny rules configuration](#configuring-deny-rules) — for example `files: ['**/*.server.*', '**/server/**']` for the client environment.
 
+## Pattern Imports
+
+Imports your bundler expands from a pattern, such as `import.meta.glob`, a template literal `import()` or Rsbuild's `import.meta.webpackContext`, are checked too. A denied file one of them reaches is replaced by its mock (for every importer: the file itself is mocked) and reported. A build names each module importing it; in dev the report names the denied file, which the dev server compiles before it knows what imports it. The file is kept as it is when an exempt importer (see [Scoping and Exclusions](#scoping-and-exclusions)) imports it with a plain import, or when `onViolation` allows it.

+```ts
+// src/routes/admin.tsx: reported, and the client gets a mock of db.server.ts
+const modules = import.meta.glob('../lib/*.ts')
+```

 ## Type-Only Imports
 
 Type-only imports and re-exports are ignored by import protection because they are erased from the runtime bundle and cannot leak environment-specific code.

Subject: [PATCH 1390/1425] fix(router-plugin): a route whose factory an app
 module re-exports is reported, and refused under Start

Route factories are recognised by their import binding from a router
package, so a route file importing `createFileRoute` from an app module
that re-exports it was neither split nor hot-updated, silently; under
Start its `server` handler and what it imports shipped in the client.

A callee named like a route factory (`createFileRoute`, `createRootRoute`,
`createRootRouteWithContext`, `createLazyFileRoute`) bound to an import of
another module is now reported once per file, with the fix (import it from
the router package); where `deleteNodes` must remove options (Start's
client) it is an error, like route options the compiler cannot read.

+A route file whose `createFileRoute` (or another route factory) is imported from a module of the app that re-exports the router's is now reported, naming the file and the fix (`import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'`): only the router's own export is recognised, so such a route is not code-split or hot-updated. Under TanStack Start the client build fails instead, since the route's `server`, `ssr` and `headers` options could not be removed from it.

Subject: [PATCH 1391/1425] test(start-plugin-core): pin two accepted
 import-protection rejections (safe direction)

An importer exempted by `exclude`/`ignoreImporters` that reaches a denied
file only through a pattern import, and an importer outside `srcDirectory`
importing an in-scope denied file, get the mock instead of the real module
(Vite build/dev/bundledDev, Rsbuild build/dev). Recorded in KNOWN-BUGS under
"Known incorrect rejections (accepted, R89)"; controls show the same exempt
importers' plain imports get the real module.

+## Limitations
+
+A denied file is judged when it is compiled, from the imports import protection has read so far. Two kinds of import are not visible there, so the file is replaced by its mock even though its importer is not checked. Both err on the safe side: server code never reaches the client. A dev server warns about the denied file; a build serves the mock without a report.
+
+An exempt importer that reaches a denied file only through a pattern import:
+
+```ts
+// src/generated/registry.ts, with exclude: ['src/generated/**']
+// the client gets mocks of the matched *.server.ts files
+const modules = import.meta.glob('../lib/*.server.ts', { eager: true })
+```
+
+An importer outside the scope (`srcDirectory` or `include`) that imports a denied file inside it:
+
+```ts
+// lib/env.ts, outside srcDirectory: the client gets a mock of db.server.ts
+import { db } from '../src/lib/db.server'
+```
+
+To get the real module, write the import statically (a plain `import`), in a module inside the scope that `exclude` or `ignoreImporters` exempts.
+
+A dev server also warns about a denied file it compiles without any importer, for example when a `server.warmup` glob matches `*.server.ts` files. This is a warning, not a leak: the client gets the file's mock.
+
 ## Reading Violation Traces
 
 When a violation is detected, the plugin shows a diagnostic message with the full import chain that led to the violation, a code snippet highlighting the offending line, and actionable suggestions.

Subject: [PATCH 1393/1425] feat(start-plugin-core): a build warns about a
 denied file only unchecked importers reach

R89 amendment: when every importer of a mocked denied file in the build's
graph is exempt (exclude/ignoreImporters) or outside the scope, the build
prints one warning naming the file, its importers and the fix. Not a
violation: onViolation is not called and the error behaviour does not fail.

Subject: [PATCH 1396/1425] fix(router-plugin): deleteNodes options take what
 only they read out of every output

A destructuring leaf only a deleted option (server, ssr, headers) read was
pruned in the env module only; when its declaration then moved to a split
chunk or an extracted module, that output kept the leaf with its server-only
default and import (R84). The deletion is now addressed to every output, so
the orphan cleanup removes the leaf wherever the declaration renders. Main
kept it in the route's shared chunk.

Module state the route module and its chunks share exists once (#8754, #8505). A component exported under a string name (`export { Page as 'page-view' }`) next to a split component builds (main failed).
 - **Exported route components and helpers are split too.** An exported pure function, class or component only split code needs leaves the route module: in a build it moves to a small side-effect-free module of its own that the route module re-exports (one instance for every other module importing it from the route file; the bundler drops it when nobody does), and each split chunk carries its own copy, so the chunk never depends on where the bundler places that module (Rolldown < 1.1.5 and a `manualChunks` group merging into the entry kept it eager). In dev the binding stays in the route module and the chunk copies it the same way. An importer of the route file and the route's chunk therefore hold two instances of such a stateless binding (as on main); state, effects and augmented bindings (`Page.displayName = …`) are never copied. Exported bindings that must stay in the route module (side effects, reassignment, read by the route module itself) and extracted modules an entry chunk loads anyway (another module imports the binding through the route file) are each reported once per file, in dev and in builds, on every bundler.

Calls of the router's own side-effect-free APIs with constant arguments (`getRouteApi`, `linkOptions`, `createLink`, `createRouteMask`, `lazyRouteComponent`, `lazyFn`, `retainSearchParams`, `stripSearchParams`, `parseSearchWith`, `stringifySearchWith`, `createRouterConfig`) are no such side effect when imported from the router package (also under another name or as a namespace member): `const { useSearch } = getRouteApi('/x')` splits with the component.

 - `createFileRoute` & co. are recognised by their import binding. Routes whose options cannot be read statically, and methods or function expressions that read `this` (#8688), stay in the route module with one warning naming the file.
 - Route HMR keeps split components' lazy wrappers across updates in React, Solid and Vue, refreshes edits of split loaders and other non-component options on Rspack and webpack, and needs no framework plugin for `.ts` route modules.

Subject: [PATCH 1397/1425] fix(router-utils): code with side effects never
 moves into an extracted export's module

An unexported cluster with an effect observable on its own (`Card.x =
track('card')`, `const Card = track('card')`) that only an extracted
export needs moved into that export's module. The webpack-family hosts mark
every such module side-effect free, so the effect ran when the split chunk
loaded, after the route module's later effects, or never. The movable test
now keeps such a cluster in the route module on every bundler; the extracted
module imports it from there. Main kept it in the route module.

Kept-export warnings now name the cause a candidate was cancelled for,
recorded at the cancellation: an export kept by the order rule or by an eager
read of a kept binding was reported as read by the route module itself
(`live`), since it had become an env root by the time the reason was
derived. The order wording names the effect before the export, with its line.

Subject: [PATCH 1398/1425] fix(router-utils): an extracted cluster re-exports
 every binding its export lists export

An export list or `export default x` that reads only one extraction
candidate's cluster renders as the route module's re-export glue, but the
glue named only the bindings the planner offered that output (first one
wins per cluster) and the inline-exported declarators. `const { Page, Other }
= views; export { Page, Other }`, `export { Other }; export default Page`
and `let count; function bump() { count++ }; export { count, bump }` lost
`Other`, the default export and `count` (a build failed on the missing
export). A companion's bindings now join the candidate's. Main kept them in
the route module.

Subject: [PATCH 1399/1425] fix(router-utils): `export default x` of a
 reassigned `x` is no name of the binding

`export default count` holds the value `count` has when it runs. A chunk
needing a `count` the route module keeps imported it by that existing name
(`import { default as count }`) and never saw `bump()` change it; an
extracted function writing `count` next to `export default count` now
re-exported the default as the live binding (since the previous commit).

The analysis marks such exports (`snapshot`); of a reassigned binding they
are no glue name (the binding gets an export of its own) and no export
companion (the statement stays in the route module). Main failed the build
(the shared module's `let` was assigned through an import).

Subject: [PATCH 1400/1425] fix(router-utils, router-plugin): glue export names
 never shadow `export *` names and are ignored by React Refresh
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A binding the route module keeps for its chunks is exported under a glue
name. In a module with `export * from …` that name could be one the star
target exports, and the route file's importers then got the route module's
binding instead (Vite, Rspack, webpack). Such modules now export glue under
the compiler's own names (`tsr$x`); main exported no glue from the route
module.

The React + Vite route HMR ignore list named module-level bindings by their
source name, so a glue export renamed `x$1` (a type export of the same
name) or `tsr$x` was validated by plugin-react and every edit reloaded the
page. A new `exportName` SymRef context renders the name an output exports a
binding under, without reading it; the HMR block lists the bindings through
it.

Subject: [PATCH 1401/1425] fix(router-generator): every cold or build run
 rejects a route file that does not parse, the root included

R86: a route file the generator cannot parse fails a cold run naming it.
The root route file was never parsed (only checked for emptiness), so an
unparsable root went through `tsr generate` and the build's generation; it
is parsed now (`routeFileErrors`, the analyzer's parse), with the same
handling as other route files. A generator that built or watched before kept
a broken file's last good route in a later build: the session's `build()`
now sends a `build` event, and such a batch fails, before it writes
anything, on every file whose content does not parse (`FileState.unparsable`,
recorded when its last good facts are kept). Dev and watch runs still warn
and keep the route.

Main read the root without parsing it (the bundler then failed on it) and
had no last good route.

 - The tree is rebuilt from the files on every change: deleting a layout keeps its children, a deleted `routeTree.gen.ts` is written again, edits of the virtual route config and of `__virtual.ts` files are picked up, and a moved route gets its new id without a content change.
 - Empty `.ts` route files get a scaffold without JSX (#8480); `.lazy.vue` files and `route.component.vue` pieces belong to their route; `importRoutesUsingAbsolutePaths` applies to lazy imports; unusual file names give valid trees.
 - A route file used for two routes, and two routes with one id, are errors naming the files.
+- A route file that does not parse fails `tsr generate` and builds, naming the file, the root route file included (main read the root without parsing it, so only the bundler failed on it); a build fails on it even when the plugin instance built or watched before. A dev server or watch session keeps the file's last good route and reports it.
 - Writes are atomic per write (also when `tmpDir` is on another filesystem); the generator's own writes no longer regenerate.
 - `tsr watch` and the Rspack/webpack plugins watch every route root, including `physical()` mounts.
 - `GeneratorPlugin.onRouteTreeChanged` receives the tree model (`{ model }`). The internal helpers `format`, `inferFullPath`, `checkRouteFullPathUniqueness` and `writeIfDifferent` are no longer exported.

Subject: [PATCH 1402/1425] fix(router-utils): a member of a namespace import
 is a pure read

`Page.icon = Icons.Home` with `import * as Icons` counted as an effect of
its own (every member read was impure), so an exported component with such
an augmentation stayed in the route module with an `effects` warning. A
module namespace's [[Get]] reads the module's binding and runs no code (no
accessor, no proxy; ECMA-262 module namespace exotic objects), the same read
as an imported identifier, which the purity model already treats as pure.
`ns.x` and `ns['x']` are pure now; a property of an imported object or of
a namespace member's value may be a getter and stays impure. Main kept the
component in the route module.

Subject: [PATCH 1403/1425] fix(router-utils, router-plugin): the React HMR
 ignore list names the glue exports only

The previous commit listed every module-level binding through an
`exportName` ref, which rendered a binding's existing export name when the
glue reused it: an aliased or default user export the split component reads
(`export { label as navLabel }`) was ignored by plugin-react, so an edit of it
applied in place and the route file's importers kept the old value (R41
amendment: only the route, the anchor and the compiler's glue are ignored).
Names other bindings export (`export { y as x }`, `export { x } from`, an
`export *` target's) could be listed too.

The `exportName` SymRef context is replaced by a `glueExportNames` fragment:
the names the output exports as glue, decided by placement. The HMR block
lists the route's export names, the anchor and that fragment.

Subject: [PATCH 1404/1425] fix(router-plugin): route HMR hoists no option
 deleteNodes removes

With deleteNodes addressed to every output, a deleted component option
written as a method, the route's only option without a trailing comma, spans
exactly the region React route HMR claims to hoist it, and an every-output
edit on exactly a claimed region travels with the region: the option stayed,
reading an import its removal had dropped (dev, router plugin alone; Start
deletes no component option). The hoists skip deleted options; they are no
components of the route.

Subject: [PATCH 1405/1425] fix(router-utils): a destructuring default only
 removed code reads goes, also next to a rest element
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`const { secret = readSecret(), ...rest } = …`, `secret` read only by a
deleted `server` option (or any erased code), `rest` by the split
component: the property must stay so its key stays out of `rest`, and its
default stayed with it, so the chunk imported the server-only module (R84;
main leaked it to the route's shared chunk too). Once a round of the orphan
cleanup prunes nothing else (the rest element may go first, and the property
with it), such a property's default goes, with what only it reads.

@@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ Route code splitting and route HMR run on the new compiler core instead of Babel
 - Any route option value splits: identifiers, inline functions, method shorthands (#8623), object-form loaders (#8753), casts, `satisfies`, calls such as `memo(Page)`, and options held in a module-level constant. Module state the route module and its chunks share exists once (#8754, #8505). A component exported under a string name (`export { Page as 'page-view' }`) next to a split component builds (main failed).
 - **Exported route components and helpers are split too.** An exported pure function, class or component only split code needs leaves the route module: in a build it moves to a small side-effect-free module of its own that the route module re-exports (one instance for every other module importing it from the route file; the bundler drops it when nobody does), and each split chunk carries its own copy, so the chunk never depends on where the bundler places that module (Rolldown < 1.1.5 and a `manualChunks` group merging into the entry kept it eager). In dev the binding stays in the route module and the chunk copies it the same way. An importer of the route file and the route's chunk therefore hold two instances of such a stateless binding (as on main); state, effects and augmented bindings (`Page.displayName = …`) are never copied, and code with side effects of its own never moves into that module (it stays in the route module, in order). Exported bindings that must stay in the route module (side effects, reassignment, read by the route module itself) and extracted modules an entry chunk loads anyway (another module imports the binding through the route file) are each reported once per file, in dev and in builds, on every bundler.
 - **A top-level declaration only split code needs that must stay in the route module is reported** once per declaration, in dev and in builds, on every bundler, positioned at it and naming what keeps it: a side effect written after it that stays (for example an inline `validateSearch: type({ … })`, named with its line), several split options reading it, a top-level change of it, or a value it reads as the file loads. `/* @__PURE__ */` on the call, or `/* #__NO_SIDE_EFFECTS__ */` on a function declared in the route file, lets it split. Calls of the router's own side-effect-free APIs with constant arguments (`getRouteApi`, `linkOptions`, `createLink`, `createRouteMask`, `lazyRouteComponent`, `lazyFn`, `retainSearchParams`, `stripSearchParams`, `parseSearchWith`, `stringifySearchWith`, `createRouterConfig`) are no such side effect when imported from the router package (also under another name or as a namespace member): `const { useSearch } = getRouteApi('/x')` splits with the component.
-- **Options removed by `codeSplittingOptions.deleteNodes`** (in every TanStack Start client build: `server`, `ssr`, `headers`) take what only they read out of every output of the route file, split chunks and extracted modules included: a default value in a destructuring declaration that a split component also reads (`const { title, secret = readSecret() } = …`, `secret` read only by a server handler) no longer brings its server-only import into a client chunk (main kept it in the route's shared chunk).

 - `createFileRoute` & co. are recognised by their import binding. Routes whose options cannot be read statically, and methods or function expressions that read `this` (#8688), stay in the route module with one warning naming the file.
 - Route HMR keeps split components' lazy wrappers across updates in React, Solid and Vue, refreshes edits of split loaders and other non-component options on Rspack and webpack, and needs no framework plugin for `.ts` route modules.
 - Production output is decided by the bundler's mode and is identical with `addHmr: false`.

Subject: [PATCH 1406/1425] fix(router-generator): a broken file naming no
 Route, a Vue root and a file outside the routes directory follow R86

- A route file whose text names no `Route` was taken for a file without a
  route before it was parsed: `import { createFileRo` left the tree with a
  warning in cold runs and builds (main rejected it). Every route file is
  parsed; one that does not parse is handled as any other.
- The root route parse of the previous commit read a `.vue` root's whole
  text: an SFC root failed every run. Single-file components are not parsed.
- A route file a failed read left out of the generator's files (a dev
  start with a broken virtual root outside the routes directory) was no file
  of the generator's for its events, so fixing it regenerated nothing. The
  files of the last scan are known.
- The cold-run test asserts the rejection (it accepted keeping the route).

Subject: [PATCH 1409/1425] fix(router-plugin): the React HMR ignore list keeps
 the module-level names it ignored before

The previous commit listed only the route, the anchor and the glue: an
edit removing an export the user had just added (`export function Page`,
then `function Page`) reloaded, since `Page`, no export of the user's
anymore, was no longer ignored (route-hmr-after-split-change,
start-dev-route-split-change). The R41 amendment ignores the module-level
names the user does not export; the list is those names, as before this
lane, plus the glue export names (`glueExportNames`), so a glue export
renamed `x$1` or `tsr$x` is ignored too. User exports stay validated:
names come from the source, never from an export the glue reuses.

Subject: [PATCH 1411/1425] perf(router-utils, router-plugin): route HMR names
 glue exports ahead instead of a render-time fragment

The `glueExportNames` fragment was a fifth Frag shape on the hot paths
that switch on a fragment's kind (rendering, reads), and the namespace-member
purity check ran on every member expression: together about +1 % per module
compiled in a React dev client (micro-bench, router planner alone). The core
now gives a planner the glue name a binding gets (`glueExportName`, through
the base rule freeze allocates with: `tsr$x` next to `export *`, `x$1`
when an export takes `x`), and route HMR prints it; the namespace check is
skipped, with no set allocated, in a module without namespace imports.

Subject: [PATCH 1412/1425] perf(router-plugin): route HMR asks for a glue name
 only where it can differ

A glue export name differs from its binding's name only next to a value
`export *` (`tsr$x`) or when an export of the module takes the name
(`x$1`); the HMR ignore list asks the core for it only then (one set lookup
per module-level binding otherwise).

Subject: [PATCH 1414/1425] test(start-plugin-core): what an Rsbuild dev edit
 rebuilds, files that appear, warm restarts

At f85217dbf0 a comment in a widely imported module rebuilds every importer
(28 modules instead of 2), an edit that makes an export a server fn builder
passes, and a file that shadows a resolution (`./lib` -> new `lib.ts`)
leaves the importer compiled against `lib/index.ts` (server fn handler
kept in the client). The delete/recreate and the three persistent-cache
restarts pass (pinned).

Subject: [PATCH 1415/1425] fix(router-utils): a created file invalidates the
 resolutions it may take; restored plans

`invalidate()` on an add also re-asks the resolutions the new file may take
(a file of the same name with another extension, or of a directory a
resolution went into, or a package.json there). `restorePlans()` checks plans
a host persisted with modules a bundler's persistent cache restored
(`CompileOutput.persisted`): current ones join the environment's plans as
restored plans (never a hit; `invalidate()` reports them; a compile
replaces them), stale ones are returned.

 - `releaseEnvironment(caches, env)` is the end of an environment's lifetime: a production build releases an
   environment's plans as soon as that environment's build is finished (several environments build one after the
   other in one process). Raw facts are shared by the environments and stay.

Subject: [PATCH 1416/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild dev builds only
 the stale dependents of an edit

The loader registers no fingerprint path as a file dependency and resolves
outside the loader context (the resolver `getResolve()` gives, got in a
compilation), so a module depends on its own file only. The core's
invalidation decides which modules are stale: edits are invalidated at
`watchRun` and their stale dependents join the starting compilation;
creations and removals at `make` (Rspack's resolver cache cleared), their
dependents built by the next compilation. Successful resolutions are kept
across compilations (no per-compilation `fileSetVersion` bump). Plans persist
in `buildInfo` and are checked at a compiler's first `finishMake`: a stale
restored module is built again, the others join the invalidation.

Import protection's two `mock` rows that relied on every importer of an
edited target being rebuilt now check that the importer is not.

+Rsbuild dev: an edit rebuilds the edited module and only the modules compiled against facts the edit changed (a comment in a module hundreds of modules import rebuilds that module alone), and a file that appears and takes a resolution (`./lib` finding a new `lib.ts` before `lib/index.ts`) has its importers compiled again. A dev server or build restarted on Rspack's persistent cache compiles again a restored module whose imports changed while it was down, and keeps tracking the restored modules afterwards.

+invalidated at `watchRun` (a file's facts need no resolver): its stale dependents join the compilation that starts,
+built with the edited file. A created or removed file is invalidated at `make`, once Rspack's resolver forgot what it
+found in the last compilation (a file that appeared takes the resolutions it shadows): its stale dependents are built
+by the next compilation (`invalidateFiles`).
+A dev server started again on the persistent cache checks, at its compilers' first `finishMake`, the plans persisted
+with the modules the cache restored: a module whose plan read facts that changed meanwhile (or another configuration's
+plan) is built again first; the others' plans join the session's invalidation.
 A route-registry change (the generator published new route ids) evicts the plans of the files concerned; Rspack sees
 no file event for them, so each environment compiler is told they changed (`invalidateFiles`) and builds them again,
 rules re-matched, at the compilation it starts. The generator runs before each compilation with the compiler's file

Subject: [PATCH 1418/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild watches every file
 a plan read, at the compilation level

A file whose facts a plan read but no compiled output imports any more (the
end of a re-export chain an env-only factory comes from) was watched only
through the loader's file dependencies: `rsbuild build --watch` never saw its
edit. The plans' dependency files of the compilation's modules are added to
the compilation's file dependencies (no module depends on them: the
invalidation decides what is stale). Import protection's `mock` rows go
back to the original test with one assertion changed: the importer is not
built again; with `log: 'always'` the compile the edit causes reports again.

Subject: [PATCH 1419/1425] perf(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild modules carry
 their plan only with a cache that outlives the process

Rspack copies a module's custom buildInfo into the module at every build
while any cache is on (dev's memory cache too): persisting every compile's
plan cost ~90 ms on an edit that rebuilds 1,700 modules. Only Rspack's
persistent or filesystem cache restores modules in another process.

Subject: [PATCH 1423/1425] fix(router-utils): a resolution that found a
 removed file is stale without asking a resolver

A bundler's resolver may still cache the removed file until its own next
compile (Rspack clears an environment's resolver cache when that
environment's compiler rebuilds): an unlink invalidated while another
environment compiled re-validated that environment's plans against the
stale answer, and the plan of the module importing the removed file stayed.

Subject: [PATCH 1424/1425] fix(start-plugin-core): Rsbuild builds a removed
 file's stale dependents in the same compilation

A removal's stale dependents were built by a second compilation; the one
in between re-resolved the old route tree's import of a renamed route and,
when Rspack's MultiCompiler held the next run back, reported "Can't
resolve './routes/renamed'" (route-edits-after-tree-rebuild, 4 in 10 runs).
A removal needs no resolver now: it is invalidated at watchRun with the
edits; only creations wait for make.
