NEXT.JS PULLS SWC PLUGIN HOST FROM WASM

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vercel

Two Next.js patches that never made it to canary are back in the queue, and workflow bundles just got 95 percent smaller.

Next.js is restoring two approved commits that GitHub ate when a rebase closed them as merged [1][2]. Both stop disused SWC plugin-host and Ctrl-C handling from building into wasm targets, so Windows devs get a stable canary. The same stack also pulls React upstream to `bd6ea412-20260824` [3], so pair your patch with that upgrade. Out on workflow, the big win is a 95 percent bundle cut: the 97-step VM bundle drops from 612,980 B to 26,831 B after pruning schema modules [4]. "Keep the public Zod schemas available to hosts without pulling them into the sandbox," the PR reads, which is exactly the trade you want. The AI SDK desk is quieter but shipping: MCP dynamic client registration now carries your selected OAuth scopes [5], and Moonshot structured outputs stop rejecting valid schemas and actually pass strict validation [6]. Watch the eve trace refactor [7] for OpenTelemetry topology changes, but nothing there is breaking today.
