Problem

Next.js standalone builds on Windows can contain absolute package links. Published Composer retains a build-machine path when copying those links, so its bundle safety validator correctly rejects the artifact.

Fix

Stage the exact target only when it is inside Next's declared outputFileTracingRoot, then rewrite the staged link to a relative in-bundle link. Preserve the security boundary: no dereferencing, no outside-root copying, no filename guessing, and dangling/outside-root links remain errors.

Updated against Composer main 467dc560 (0.20.0). The Windows watcher assertions now use async realpath, matching production and avoiding Windows short-path versus long-path comparisons. Updated the deployment guide and packaged skill.

Verification

  • Merge-readiness refresh: current branch includes main 467dc560; the final diff remains four files with no workflow changes. Re-ran all 17 Next.js tests successfully. All 24 checks pass on 65502120, including Windows/macOS/Linux tests, three live deployment flows, and both cold-start/cold-connect canaries. Cross-platform CI, deployment CI.
  • Local Next.js suite: 17 tests passed across 3 files, including all 14 assembly cases. Typecheck and build passed.
  • Earlier native Windows red/green: the published package rejected the real Next.js pg link; this PR assembled the same output successfully: https://github.com/prisma/composer/actions/runs/34456797756
  • Current native Windows verification: https://github.com/prisma/composer/actions/runs/34832370238
    • Published create-prisma@0.12.0-pr.99.335.1, Next.js, TypeScript contract, npm 11.6.0, Node 22.23.2.
    • Scaffold outside the Composer checkout, install matching Composer 0.20.0/provider 0.20.0/ORM rc.11 packages with this PR's Composer tarball, Next build, TypeScript check, actual Composer assembly, and assembled entry existence check all passed.
    • Recorded toolchains: the runner uses Node 24.16.0/npm 11.13.0 inside the checkout but Node 22.23.2/npm 10.9.8 outside it. That explains the separate edgesOut installation failure in the earlier clean-directory diagnostic. create-prisma#99 addresses the npm requirement; it is not part of this assembly fix.
    • Git initialization warned because the disposable runner has no author identity. No user credentials were used in this assembly check.
  • All temporary diagnostic workflows and scripts have been removed from the final diff. No new CI workflow remains.

Limits

This verifies real Windows scaffolding, build and assembly, not a completed Windows cloud deployment. The two cloud diagnostic attempts stopped before deploying: one mixed provider versions, and one hit the old npm resolver crash. Neither created a cloud project.

An earlier macOS local-dev integration run failed its unrelated storefront PID stability assertion; the Next.js tests passed. That failure remains visible at https://github.com/prisma/composer/actions/runs/34831587333 and was not hidden by changing that test. The current macOS run and every other CI check pass.

All inline review threads are resolved. Older changes-requested reviews still need to be reassessed by their reviewers; fresh full reviews have been requested. No review has been dismissed or bypassed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Next.js standalone bundles now support absolute symbolic links to files within the traced application.
    • Nested links are repaired and preserved with in-bundle paths, including their linked content.
    • Linked sources are included in bundle watching.
    • Bundle assembly prevents existing paths from shadowing linked targets.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Absolute links targeting files outside the declared tracing root are rejected during assembly.
    • Dangling or unresolved links are rejected during assembly instead of producing incomplete bundles.

Walkthrough

Next.js standalone assembly now stages absolute symlinks whose targets remain inside the tracing root. It copies target payloads, rewrites symlinks to relative in-bundle paths, preserves occupied bundle paths, and adds staged sources to bundle watch paths. Assembly rejects dangling, nested out-of-root, and external absolute symlinks. Integration tests and documentation cover these behaviors. A Windows workflow builds, deploys, verifies, and cleans up a diagnostic Next.js project.

Change walkthrough

This PR fixes Next.js assembly on Windows, where standalone builds emit absolute package symlinks (pg-<hash> -> C:\...\node_modules\pg) that previously failed the bundle validator because they pointed at build-machine paths outside the deploy bundle. Assembly now stages the exact trusted target from Next's declared outputFileTracingRoot and rewrites the link as a relative in-bundle link, preserving symlink topology without dereferencing links or copying external paths (packages/0-framework/2-authoring/nextjs/src/control/build.ts).

Next.js assembly (@internal/nextjs): The new stageAbsoluteStandaloneLinkTargets runs alongside the existing missing-link staging before repairWindowsDirectorySymlinks, sharing collectSymlinks and the isWithin trace-root boundary. Nested links inside a staged target get the same trust treatment, while dangling or out-of-root targets are left for the packager to reject, keeping ADR-0047's hard-error contract. The returned staged sources feed assemble's watch list alongside the existing missing-link targets. A SKILL.md section documents the Windows behavior for agents.

CI diagnostics: The checklist's two files are diagnostic infrastructure for verifying the fix on real Windows runners:

  • .github/scripts/assemble-current-cli.mjs resolves the PR-built @prisma/composer from a scaffolded app's node_modules, invokes assemble with a nextjs build descriptor (matching the isNextjsBuild narrowing in the control entry), and asserts the assembled entry exists — the packager's in-bundle link enforcement provides the deeper validation.
  • .github/workflows/windows-npm-assembly-diagnostic.yml scaffolds a published create-prisma preview with a pinned npm 11.6.0, packs the PR build, installs it into the scaffold, builds, and runs the assembly script. It follows repo conventions (SHA-pinned checkout, read-only permissions, persist-credentials: false) and only self-triggers when its own files change.

The delta since the last reviewed commit also deletes the earlier windows-current-cli-diagnostic.yml deployment diagnostic, consistent with the PR description's note that temporary diagnostics are removed after their runs.

Findings outside the diff

  • 🟡 Minor · consistency .github/workflows/windows-current-cli-diagnostic.yml — PR description says the diagnostic workflow was removed and "no new workflow remains", but it is present and modified at HEAD
    The description states "The Windows diagnostic workflow was temporary and is not part of this PR" and "Removed the temporary diagnostic workflow and script after recording results. No new workflow remains." Yet this PR re-adds the workflow (commit 781e938) and the head commit (c161ac0) modifies it, so merging ships a diagnostic that consumes PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN, deploys real services on windows-latest, and self-triggers on every future edit to the file (on: pull_request: paths: [.github/workflows/windows-current-cli-diagnostic.yml]). Either delete the workflow (and the head commit's changes to it) before merge, or update the description to state the workflow intentionally ships.
    Recommended fix: Delete .github/workflows/windows-current-cli-diagnostic.yml before merging (matching the stated intent), or amend the PR description to acknowledge the workflow remains in the PR.

  • 🟡 Minor · consistency .github/workflows/windows-current-cli-diagnostic.yml — Temporary diagnostic workflow still present despite PR description claiming it was removed
    The PR description states "Removed the temporary diagnostic workflow and script after recording results. No new workflow remains" and that the diagnostic "is not part of this PR". The file is nonetheless present and modified at head (re-added in 781e938 after the earlier deliberate removal in 01803db, then modified through 4737bc5). Merging as-is ships a temporary diagnostic that provisions and deploys real projects with PRISMA_SERVICE_TOKEN on any PR that touches this file, contradicting the stated intent and re-creating what was already cleaned up once. Delete the file (and its paths-filter trigger) before merge, or amend the description to say it intentionally remains.

@prisma-gizmo Could you re-review current head 6550212? The changes-requested review is on 00f2057 and refers to the temporary diagnostic workflow, which is now removed. All review threads are resolved; the final diff contains only Next.js assembly, regression tests, and documentation. Please reassess the current code and update the review if appropriate.
