bake: do not demote a client component boundary when the SSR graph imports it - #46901
A page and a client component import one client component. Then the dev server of the React framework aborts at the first request: panic: Server Incremental Graph is missing component for "".
The shared component gets two SSR chunks. One is a plain module. When it comes second, receive_chunk (src/runtime/bake/dev_server/incremental_graph.rs:738) treats it as a removed "use client" directive and deletes the client file.
Fix
The demotion arm of receive_chunk ignores a chunk of the SSR graph.
Correct because the SSR graph imports each client component as a plain module. Only the server graph shows a removed directive.
Verified: 5 new tests in test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts (4 abort on main). Also all of test/bake.
Self-reviewed: 5 concerns raised, 5 addressed.
Background
A client component is a file with "use client". The server graph gets a client reference for it, and the SSR graph gets a copy that renders HTML.
The dev server has one record per path for both graphs. Its is_client_component_boundary flag marks a client component.
Considered one shared SSR copy in the bundler. A draft broke bun build --app for a sideEffects: false"use client" barrel.
Downsides
No cost found. Release bun text is 107,558,144 bytes on main and here.
bun build --app of the same app still fails, as on main. It stops with Multiple files share the same output path or writes a client chunk that imports two missing files.
Notes
Source. No GitHub issue reports this panic. #46702 and #46879 name it as a case that their tests avoid. The line first appeared in #37850, which #39488 took in.
How often. Release builds of main (179664e) and of this branch, built-in React framework, no plugin, 10 starts of the dev server for each app.

a page imports Button and Form, and Form imports Button (both are client components)
10 of 10 abort
0 of 10
a page imports Form, and Form imports Button
7 of 10 abort
0 of 10
The abort depends on the order in which the bundler schedules the files. That order depends on which parse ends first.
Mechanism. The line numbers are those of main.
Button gets three chunks on the server side: the client reference (server graph), the SSR copy of that reference, and the plain module that the SSR copy of Form imports.
finalize_bundle marks the first two in scb_bitset (finalize.rs:248). The plain module is another source index and has no mark.
For a file that the graph already has, receive_chunk sets is_client_component_boundary on a chunk with the mark. On a chunk with no mark, it treats a set flag as a removed directive and calls client_graph.disconnect_and_delete_file (:755). That call empties the key of the client file (:547).
The same build then traces the client file (trace_dependencies) and looks up the server graph with the empty key. That is the panic at :1179.
A save bundles a client component again through the server graph only (rebundles_for_ssr_graph, :143). So a removed directive still arrives as a chunk of the server graph. The existing test removing 'use client' from a component with a pending resolution failure passes.
Tests.
Two tests force the two orders with an onLoad plugin that holds one file until another is loaded. No test waits for time. The dev server receives the chunks in source index order, and a file gets its source index when the bundler queues it. Each test compares the key order of serverManifest, which is the order in which the dev server received the client references.
Release build of main, 10 runs of these two tests: the order that bundles the client reference first aborts in 10 of 10. The other order passes in 10 of 10, because main handles that order. On this branch both pass in 10 of 10.
One test uses the built-in React framework with the forced order. It aborts on main.
One test has a page that imports only the outer component, so only the browser graph makes the inner one a client component. It holds the SSR copy of the outer component until the SSR copy of the client reference of the inner one is loaded. It aborts on main: 2 of 2 runs of a debug build, and 10 of 10 of a release build.
One test saves a syntax error into a file that only the SSR copy of a client component imports. It expects the route to fail and then to recover. It aborts on main at the first request.
Debug build with ASAN: test/bake, 275 pass (run with --timeout 60000).
Measurements. Release builds (ThinLTO) of main and of this branch. bloaty is not on the machine. The numbers are from size, nm -S and objdump.
Text of bun: 107,558,144 bytes in both.
finalize_bundle, which has the server arm of receive_chunk inlined: 24,056 bytes on main, 23,989 here.
The arm already branches on is_ssr_graph at :726, to set is_ssr or is_rsc. The compiler puts the new test into that branch. From the store of is_rsc to the test of the flag, a chunk of the server graph runs 12 instructions on main and 10 here. A chunk of the SSR graph no longer loads the flag.
The other design. The bundler can give the client reference the SSR copy that an import already made. Then a path has one SSR chunk. A draft of that design failed for a "use client" barrel in a sideEffects: false package: the copy that an import made has its unused re-exports deferred, and the SSR manifest lists every export. bun build --app, release builds, 10 runs each: without the draft, 8 builds were correct and 2 stopped with an error. With the draft, all 10 ended with exit code 0, and in 5 of them no export in the SSR manifest loaded.
Not fixed here. All of these are the same on main.
The bundler still makes two SSR copies of the inner component in each build.
bun build --app of the first app of the table, release builds, 10 runs each. Main: 8 stop with error: Multiple files share the same output path, and 2 end with exit code 0 and a client chunk that imports two files that the build did not write. This branch: 3 and 7. The changed code is not on that path. The split follows the parse order.
…ports it
With `separateSSRGraph`, a client component that another client
component imports gets two chunks for the SSR graph. One is the SSR copy
of its client reference. The other is the plain module that the SSR copy
of the importer imports. `receive_chunk` took the second chunk as proof
that the file lost its "use client" directive and deleted the file from
the client graph. The dev server then stopped with
`panic: Server Incremental Graph is missing component for ""`.
Only a chunk of the server graph shows that the directive is gone, so
the demotion arm now ignores a chunk of the SSR graph.
Reproduced on main 179664e with the built-in React framework: a page imports the client components Button and Form, and Form imports Button. The dev server aborts at the first request with panic: Server Incremental Graph is missing component for "" (10 of 10 starts of a release build).
The 5 new tests in test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts show it: 4 of them abort on main, and all pass on this branch.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline finding, I also checked whether the new !is_ssr_graph gate could let a removed "use client" directive slip past demotion when the file is only re-bundled for the SSR graph — it cannot, because a boundary file has is_rsc set and on_file_update always enqueues Target::Bun for it (incremental_graph.rs:1658), so the demoting chunk still arrives on the server graph. I also checked that SSR-only imports (package.json imports with a browser condition) still get hot updates after the gate — the new dep-ssr.ts test exercises that path end to end.
Extended reasoning...
The change is a one-condition gate in the server-side receive_chunk demotion arm of src/runtime/bake/dev_server/incremental_graph.rs plus five new devTest cases in test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts; it touches no security-sensitive surface. The inline finding concerns a directive-removal path that the author's own description lists as unchanged from main, so a human should weigh whether it belongs in this PR.
…order cases
`serverManifest` has the client components in the order in which the
dev server received their client references. The two forced-order cases
now compare that order, so a case that stops forcing its order fails.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline nit, I also checked whether an SSR-graph chunk can ever legitimately carry a removed "use client" directive — it cannot, since rebundles_for_ssr_graph is false for a boundary and on_file_update enqueues it through Target::Bun, and finalize_bundle marks the ref and ssr source indices in the scb bitset so the only unmarked SSR chunk for a boundary is the plain-module import. The !found_existing arm needs no matching gate: it reads the boundary bit straight from the bitset. The gate also covers an edit to the importer, whose rebundled SSR copy re-imports the inner component as a plain module.
Extended reasoning...
The change adds a single !is_ssr_graph condition to the demotion arm of IncrementalGraph::receive_chunk in src/runtime/bake/dev_server/incremental_graph.rs and adds five devTests in test/bake/dev/bundle.test.ts that force both chunk orderings, exercise the React framework, an HMR rewrite, and an SSR-only build-error path. It touches no security-sensitive surface. I traced is_ssr_graph through its only producer in finalize.rs and the scb bitset construction, and the gate is behavior-preserving for RSC-graph chunks. A human look is still worthwhile because the PR itself notes that the demotion path, now reachable for nested client components, trips a debug assertion when the directive is removed from an imported component, and a maintainer should decide whether that belongs in this PR.
The case had no plugin, so its chunk order followed the parse timing,
and it passed on a debug build without the fix. `holdLoad` can now hold
the loads of a file from a given load number. The case holds the SSR
copy of the outer component until the SSR copy of the client reference
of the inner component is loaded.
