What?

Removes the experimental.ppr configuration flag and consolidates Partial Prerendering (PPR) functionality into the cacheComponents architecture.

Why?

Having two separate systems (PPR flag and cacheComponents) created dual code paths and complexity. PPR is now implicitly enabled when cacheComponents is enabled, simplifying the codebase.

How?

  • Deleted postpone.ts and ppr.ts utility files
  • Removed PrerenderStorePPR work unit type and all PPR-specific work unit cases
  • Removed React.unstable_postpone-based dynamic rendering logic
  • Deprecated experimental.ppr config (kept for backwards compatibility)
  • Simplified build system to check only cacheComponents flag
  • Updated tests to remove PPR-specific behavior expectations

This removes ~986 lines of code across 48 files.

NAR-490

Removes the experimental.ppr configuration flag and consolidates Partial
Prerendering (PPR) functionality into the cacheComponents architecture.

Key changes:
- Delete postpone.ts and ppr.ts utility files
- Remove PrerenderStorePPR work unit type
- Remove React.unstable_postpone-based dynamic rendering
- Deprecate experimental.ppr config (PPR now implicit with cacheComponents)
- Simplify build system PPR detection
- Update tests to remove PPR-specific expectations

This unifies the two parallel rendering systems into one cacheComponents-based approach.

📖 Metrics Glossary

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
  • All other changes are flagged to catch regressions
