Summary

Closes several remaining target: "universal" gaps. (1) CSS hot updates were skipped on the Node side of a universal build — the .css HMR handler bailed when there was no DOM, so the SSR style registry kept the stale CSS. It now refreshes the registry from the re-emitted CSS via fs (mirroring the existing initial-SSR collection), and falls back to a no-op when publicPath is not a readable file: URL. (2) The global new Worker(new URL(...)) syntax was only rewritten to the worker_threads resolver for universal, so plain target: "node" emitted a bare new Worker and threw ReferenceError (no global Worker on Node) — the rewrite now also covers node-only targets. (3) The web-only prefetch/preload no-op on Node is now documented in code as intentional.

A small test-harness fix is included: the universal hot runner picked the trailing entry asset for the Node run, which is the .css file for CSS entries, so the Node side of universal CSS cases never executed; it now selects the JS entry.

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

fix

Did you add tests for your changes?

Yes — test/hotCases/universal/css-ssr-update/ (asserts the Node SSR registry is refreshed on CSS hot update) and test/configCases/worker/node-global-worker/ (global new Worker(new URL(...)) on target: "node"). Verified the full universal hot suite, all hot suites, and the worker/CSS/universal config cases stay green.

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No.

If relevant, what needs to be documented once your changes are merged or what have you already documented?

The universal-target docs (webpack.js.org) should note that CSS hot updates now apply on the Node side, that new Worker(new URL(...)) works on target: "node", and that prefetch/preload are intentional no-ops on Node. No in-repo docs exist for this.

Use of AI

Yes. Implemented and verified with Claude Code (Claude Opus) — it wrote the runtime/dependency changes and tests, ran the affected Jest suites, and empirically confirmed the gating (no universal-only code is generated for known web/node targets) and that Node's fetch cannot read file: URLs (so fs is required on the Node side). All changes were reviewed before committing.


Generated by Claude Code

Apply CSS hot updates on the node side of a universal build by refreshing
the SSR style registry from the re-emitted CSS, rewrite the global
new Worker(new URL(...)) to worker_threads on the node target, and
document the intentional web-only prefetch/preload no-op on node.
