The six async local storages must be singletons within a realm. A store entered through one reference has to be readable through every other reference, otherwise code running inside the scope sees no store at all. Until now that relied on module identity, which is a weaker guarantee than the requirement. A realm evaluates the same next file more than once if the package is reachable through more than one path, and each evaluation then created a storage of its own. The .external.js rewrite in handle-externals.ts pins which specifier every layer requires, but it cannot help when one specifier resolves to two filenames.

That is what we hit intermittently in next dev with Cache Components. A bug in Node's fs.realpathSync can return a path with its symlinks unresolved, and the module loader keys the module cache on that path, so on a pnpm install next/dist/... is evaluated twice. A Route Handler calling revalidatePath then read a workAsyncStorage that nothing had ever entered and crashed, and io() read a workUnitAsyncStorage that was not the one app-render had entered, so sync IO went untracked. The Node fix is nodejs/node#65113, which is not in a release yet, and versions without it stay affected once it is.

Each instance is now anchored to a global symbol, which holds the singleton for any number of copies. Worker threads and edge sandboxes still get their own storages, because each has its own globalThis. The key includes the Next.js version, so a realm that holds two different versions of Next.js keeps them apart rather than letting one version read a store that the other shaped, which we cannot assume is compatible. The helper itself is stateless and all state lives on globalThis, so async-local-storage.ts being duplicated along with everything else does not matter. getOrCreateGlobalAsyncLocalStorage also replaces the equivalent code in request-insights-identity.ts, which was already anchoring its storage this way.

The tests that skipped this under Turbopack are enabled again, and they are what covers the fix. In dev-warmup.util.ts both testInitialLoad and testNavigation returned early under Turbopack, before the revalidation and every assertion after it, and the two sync IO tests were never registered at all, which takes that suite from 72 to 88 tests under Turbopack. cache-components-tasks.test.ts had the same two early returns.

This does not make duplicate module instances go away, it only removes the consequence that is fatal. A realm that loads next/dist twice still pays for two module registries and twice the memory.

The six async local storages must be singletons within a realm. A store
entered through one reference has to be readable through every other
reference, otherwise code running inside the scope sees no store at all.
Until now that relied on module identity, which is a weaker guarantee
than the requirement. A realm evaluates the same `next` file more than
once if the package is reachable through more than one path, and each
evaluation then created a storage of its own. The `.external.js` rewrite
in `handle-externals.ts` pins which specifier every layer requires, but
it cannot help when one specifier resolves to two filenames.

That is what we hit intermittently in `next dev` with Cache Components.
A bug in Node's `fs.realpathSync` can return a path with its symlinks
unresolved, and the module loader keys the module cache on that path, so
on a pnpm install `next/dist/...` is evaluated twice. A Route Handler
calling `revalidatePath` then read a `workAsyncStorage` that nothing had
ever entered and crashed, and `io()` read a `workUnitAsyncStorage` that
was not the one `app-render` had entered, so sync IO went untracked. The
Node fix is nodejs/node#65113, which is not in a release yet, and
versions without it stay affected once it is.

Each instance is now anchored to a global symbol, which holds the
singleton for any number of copies. Worker threads and edge sandboxes
still get their own storages, because each has its own `globalThis`. The
key includes the Next.js version, so a realm that holds two different
versions of Next.js keeps them apart rather than letting one version
read a store that the other shaped, which we cannot assume is
compatible. The helper itself is stateless and all state lives on
`globalThis`, so `async-local-storage.ts` being duplicated along with

Dev Server Metrics:

  • Listen = TCP port starts accepting connections
  • First Request = HTTP server returns successful response
  • Cold = Fresh build (no cache)
  • Warm = With cached build artifacts

Build Metrics:

  • Fresh = Clean build (no .next directory)
  • Cached = With existing .next directory

Change Thresholds:

  • Time: Changes < 50ms AND < 10%, OR < 2% are insignificant
  • Size: Changes < 1KB AND < 1% are insignificant
