Summary

This PR adds a React Server Components (RSC) + Module Federation reference implementation under apps/rsc-demo/ (host app1, remote app2).

Key goals:

  • Federated Server Components and Client Components across app boundaries
  • Federated Server Actions with MF-native (in-process) execution as the default
  • “Just works” behavior (no placeholder components or silent SSR fallbacks for missing exports)

What’s Included

  • Three webpack outputs / layers

    • client (browser)
    • rsc (server, react-server condition)
    • ssr (server HTML from Flight; must not run with react-server)
  • MF share scopes per layer

    • rsc share scope for RSC server bundles (ensures react-server builds are used)
    • client share scope for browser + SSR bundles
    • experiments: { asyncStartup: true } everywhere, no eager: true shares
  • MF-native server actions (default)

    • Remote action modules are loaded via MF and registered into a shared server action registry.
    • HTTP forwarding remains only as a fallback path if MF-native registration fails.
  • SSR export retention (no placeholders)

    • SSR bundles auto-include client component modules referenced by react-client-manifest.json and mark exports as used, preventing webpack from tree-shaking exports that React reads dynamically at runtime.
  • Vendored react-server-dom-webpack@19.2.0

    • Moved to packages/react-server-dom-webpack/ for reuse.
    • Adds loader entrypoints (react-server-dom-webpack/rsc-*-loader), MF-friendly manifest timing/merging in the ReactFlightPlugin, and a shared server-action registry.

Docs / Review Aids

  • Architecture doc (with Mermaid diagrams): RSC_MF_ARCHITECTURE.md
  • Vendored RSDW delta (reviewable): arch-doc/rsdw-diffs/rsdw-vendored-vs-npm-19.2.0.functional.diff

Testing

  • npx nx run rsc-demo:test:rsc --skip-nx-cache (Node unit/integration)
  • npx nx run rsc-demo:test:e2e --skip-nx-cache (Playwright E2E)

Notes

  • CI uses Node 18; local Node 22 will show workspace engine warnings.

- Use globalThis for server action registry to ensure true singleton
  across webpack module instances with different IDs
- Make getCount async (React requires server actions to be async)
- Fix clearAppCaches to preserve registry (actions only register at
  bundle load)
- Update cross-app tests to check relative state changes instead of
  absolute values
- Skip HTTP forwarding tests (require full server runtime)
- Fix port handling in HTTP forwarding tests to avoid EADDRINUSE

Re-enable HTTP forwarding tests - they may fail but should be fixed
rather than skipped.

- use response.text() instead of streaming with getReader() for more
  reliable response handling in forwardActionToRemote
- add warmup request in tests to ensure RSC bundle is fully initialized
  (handles asyncStartup)
- improve port retry logic with new server instance per attempt
- preserve original fetch for HTTP forwarding tests

All 19 cross-app action tests now pass.

P1 Badge Add module-federation deps to app1 manifest

app1’s build pipeline requires @module-federation/enhanced/webpack and @module-federation/node/runtimePlugin (see scripts/build.js) but the package manifest doesn’t declare either dependency, only Babel/webpack toolchains. On a filtered install (pnpm install --filter app1 or building the package outside the monorepo), pnpm won’t link these modules into app1’s node_modules and pnpm --filter app1 build fails with “Cannot find module '@module-federation/enhanced/webpack'”. Please add the module-federation packages to app1’s deps/devDeps like app2 does so the build works when the package is installed on its own.

…ta callbacks

- Remove rscPluginState.js shared state module
- Replace manifest.additionalData callbacks with declarative manifest.rsc config
- Let StatsPlugin generate RSC metadata from react-client-manifest.json
- Update AutoIncludeClientComponentsPlugin to read manifest directly
- Add MF-native action mode headers (x-federation-action-mode, x-federation-action-remote)
- Update e2e tests to verify MF-native action execution path
- Add rscManifestMetadata module and tests in packages/manifest
Update documentation and comments to reflect that MF-native (in-process)
server actions are now the default behavior, with HTTP forwarding as
fallback. Remove RSC_MF_NATIVE_ACTIONS toggle since MF-native is always
enabled.
