- `resolveCache`
- `seenViolations`
- `buildTransformResults`
- `deferredFileViolations`
- `deferredFileViolationKeys`

Shared state is for virtual module transport and compiler fs access:
A per-environment resource map associates each loader resource with its Rspack
module. It is populated by Rspack's loader hook and consumed by the matching
post-transform callback; durable marker state lives on `module.buildInfo`.

Shared state is for virtual module transport:

- `virtualModules`
- `vmPlugins`
- `readyVmPlugins`
- `inputFileSystems`

- self-denial for forbidden files
- self-denial for marker-protected files in the wrong environment
- persisting detected marker kinds in Rspack `module.buildInfo`
- direct specifier rewrites to mock-edge modules
- build-time transformed/original source preloading for later diagnostics
- recording build-only deferred file violations when original unsafe usage may
outlive a direct compiled graph edge

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

It reconstructs the final view of the compilation from Rspack data by:

1. building a `TransformResultProvider` from `compilation.modules`
2. rebuilding the active compilation graph from outgoing connections
3. reconstructing surviving specifier violations from compiled mock-edge files
4. reporting live file violations from active edges
5. reporting live marker violations from active edges plus original source
6. reporting deferred file violations only when both importer and target truly
survived compilation
1. collecting every module's active outgoing connections into
`RspackModuleGraphNode[]`, while a separate visitor classifies each node as
soon as it is created
2. finishing marker checks after all modules are known
3. returning immediately when collection produces no candidates
4. building the `ImportGraph` and diagnostic indexes only for confirmed
candidates

Each `RspackModuleGraphNode` contains only a module and its active
`{ dependency, module }` imports. For multiple active connections to the same
target `Module`, collection keeps only the first connection in Rspack's outgoing
order. Collection does not filter by source-file eligibility, because every
intermediate module is required to preserve complete entry-to-violation traces.
The classification visitor applies source-file and rule eligibility separately;
it does not traverse the node array afterward. Marker fallback retains only
pending imports until every eligible node's specifier set is available. Module
identity keeps query, layer, and other same-resource variants distinct.
Normalized file paths remain the user-facing identity for rules, traces, source
mapping, and diagnostics.

When at least one candidate exists, the adapter replays the in-memory node array
to build `ImportGraph`; it never calls
`getOutgoingConnectionsInOrder(module)` a second time. A successful compilation
therefore avoids allocating `ImportGraph`, entry data, and path-based trace
indexes entirely.

`processAssets` does not parse module source. Import requests come from
the retained `connection.dependency.request`. Diagnostic locations come from
that dependency's `loc`, then map through the compiled module sourcemap. The
adapter does not distinguish import and usage locations. When Rspack does not
expose a dependency location, the diagnostic remains valid but may omit its
source location and snippet.

When `sourceAndMap()` does not provide a sourcemap, generated dependency
locations are not reported as original source locations. Importer and trace
locations, along with the source snippet, are omitted in that case.

Align the reporting description with the implementation.

Two statements do not match import-protection.ts:

  1. Lines 110 and 118 describe "active outgoing connections". forEachModules iterates all connections from getOutgoingConnectionsInOrder and skips only errored target modules and repeated targets. It does not test connection active state.
  2. Lines 143-145 state that importer and trace locations plus the snippet are omitted when no sourcemap exists. resolveImporterLocation still falls back to findPostCompileUsageLocation and findOriginalUsageLocation, so a location and snippet can still be produced.

Update the wording so future maintainers do not assume an active-connection filter or an unconditional omission.

lines 110 - 145, Update the documentation around the forEachModules/import-graph
collection description to say it retains outgoing connections except errored
target modules and duplicate targets, without claiming an active-connection
filter. Revise the sourcemap fallback description to state that importer and
trace locations or snippets may be unavailable, while acknowledging
resolveImporterLocation can still obtain locations and snippets through
findPostCompileUsageLocation and findOriginalUsageLocation.


`module.originalSource()` plus `sourceAndMap()` are called only for modules
required to build a confirmed violation. A compilation with no violations
therefore does not read dependency locations, module sources, or compilation
entries.

This is the core Rsbuild-native replacement for Vite's `generateBundle`
verification plus dev pending-violation flow.

## Why The Deferred Queue Is Narrow

Rsbuild only needs explicit build deferral for file violations whose direct edge
may disappear after compilation.

Specifier violations are rediscovered from surviving mock-edge virtual files.
Marker violations are rediscovered from live compiled edges.

Only file violations need extra bookkeeping when the final compiled graph can no
longer show the original denied edge directly.

## Source And Compilation APIs

The Rsbuild adapter intentionally prefers native Rspack APIs where possible.

Compilation-time:

- `module.nameForCondition?.()`
- `module.resourceResolveData?.resource`
- `module.originalSource().sourceAndMap()`
- `module.identifier()` (normalized fallback)
- `module.originalSource().sourceAndMap()` (confirmed diagnostics only)
- sourcemap `sourcesContent`
- `compilation.inputFileSystem.readFile(...)`
- `moduleGraph.getOutgoingConnectionsInOrder(module)`
- `connection.dependency.request`
- `connection.dependency.loc` (confirmed diagnostics only)

This keeps the adapter closer to Rsbuild/Rspack truth and avoids falling back to
Node fs when the compilation already has the needed data.
Diagnostics use the retained first connection's dependency location and map it
back through the composed compilation sourcemap.

## Marker Handling

Unlike Vite, Rsbuild does not introduce plugin-owned virtual marker modules for
normal operation.

The real package marker files are used as source-level markers, and the adapter
later infers marker kind from original source while reporting compiled edges.
The real package marker files are used as source-level markers. Rspack's loader
hook records the module under the exact loader resource. The matching post
transform consumes that association and writes the detected marker kind to the
module's `buildInfo` before replacing a wrong-environment module. This preserves
the marker after self-denial mocking and when Rspack restores modules from its
persistent cache.

`processAssets` reads the persisted marker kind first. Dependency requests in
the final module graph remain a fallback for modules without metadata.
