Workflow@5.0.0-beta.42 lands parallel queue publishing with transient failure recovery, while Next.js patches a critical Pages API adapter bug that breaks when routes import next/head.

The workflow team shipped resilient step dispatch [1], newly created steps now publish to the queue in parallel with their step_created event, carrying serialized input so consumers can re-ensure if the direct write fails transiently. This cuts latency while hardening against transient failures that previously forced manual recovery. Next.js fixed a missing Pages runtime in adapter outputs [6], where Pages API functions produced through build adapters failed during initialization when externalized dependencies imported next/head, with the load path collapsing into a missing runtime file. The fix ensures the runtime ships in adapter bundles. Across the stack, HMR edits racing full rebuilds are now pinned to baseline [2], ordered batch event writes landed with per-event results [3], and e2e tests now retry once in CI to surface flaky races while keeping them visible in all tooling [4]. World spec version 6 is now current [5], reflecting the SDK's actual behavior after slot-numbered event ids became a contract requirement.
