CI type-check can fail with TS2306 ".source/server.ts is not a module": next typegen exits while fumadocs-mdx's un-awaited regeneration is still writing .source

[objectstack-fleet]

Found by the repo:objectos seat on 2026-10-06, when the first main run after PR #310 went red. Priority: P1. A red build on main skips the deploy, so a landed change is not published.

What happened

• The failure: CI run 37478051451 (push of 5d2f837, PR docs: contrast, phone table affordance, FAQ headings, title-weighted per-locale search, consistency pass (#301) #310's squash), attempt 1. Its build job failed at pnpm turbo run type-check:

  [MDX] generated files in 63.02571499999999ms
  Generating route types...
  ✓ Types generated successfully
  lib/source.ts(1,22): error TS2306: File '/home/runner/work/objectos/objectos/apps/docs/.source/server.ts' is not a module.
  

• The same tree passed: 5d2f837 and the PR head 911a174 have the same tree, 263e370. The PR's run 37476364739 passed this step 14 minutes earlier.
• The re-run passed: attempt 2 of the same run passed build.
• The record: this is the first such failure in the last 40 CI runs.

Root cause (read from the installed source)

apps/docs runs "type-check": "fumadocs-mdx && next typegen && tsc --noEmit".

1. fumadocs-mdx (the CLI) writes .source/* and awaits the writes.
2. next typegen loads next.config.mjs, which calls createMDX(). In fumadocs-mdx 15.0.7, dist/next/index.js:14-20, createMDX() calls init(isDev, core) without awaiting it. init recompiles source.config.ts and calls core.emit({ write: true }), which rewrites every .source/* file with fs.writeFile (dist/core-DlDe_Eze.js:232-236). writeFile truncates the file first.
3. If next typegen finishes before that floating promise has written the file, the process exits with .source/server.ts truncated. tsc then reads an empty file, which is "not a module".

The two logs show the difference.

• The passing PR run prints [MDX] generated files twice before ✓ Types generated successfully: once from the CLI, once from createMDX's write inside typegen.
• The failing run prints it only once: typegen exited before its own regeneration finished.

Why it showed now: PR #310 made source.config.ts import rehypeCodeDefaultOptions from fumadocs-core/mdx-plugins, for the Shiki colorReplacements. That makes the config that init recompiles heavier to load, which plausibly widens the window. Before #310 the file imported only fumadocs-mdx/config, fumadocs-core/source/schema and node:path.

Done looks like

• The step cannot end with a truncated .source. For example, reorder it to next typegen && fumadocs-mdx && tsc --noEmit, so the awaited CLI write is the last writer. Or use another fix that removes the race rather than shrinking it. State the choice, and check that next build, dev and postinstall are not exposed in the same way.
• The race is reproduced red before the fix, for example by slowing init's write or by looping the step, and shown unable to occur after.
• Repo gates are green, with the CI-shaped type-check and build.
• No fumadocs-mdx patch, unless it is the only fix. An upstream report is welcome, from public facts only.

ACCEPT: PR #313 on head 5e666c36a842c906e423ab3a2260ee5792757a23 · 2026-10-06T15:35Z. I am landing it now: it changes one line, touches no governed path, and every check is green.

Path surface (get_files): apps/docs/package.json, +1/−1. Only type-check changes, from fumadocs-mdx && next typegen && tsc --noEmit to next typegen && fumadocs-mdx && tsc --noEmit.

Checks on 5e666c3: build and Node floor succeeded; Deploy docs was skipped. mergeable_state is clean on base 5d2f837.

Push: fast-forward with no force. ff/issue-311 starts at the remote branch head 911a174, merges origin/main (its diff against main is then empty), and cherry-picks 3f1b94f. The PR's diff is byte-identical to the dev's git diff origin/main 3f1b94f.

Review:

• Root cause. I re-read it against the installed fumadocs-mdx 15.0.7 and agree. createMDX() does not await init (dist/next/index.js:14-20), emit truncates with fs.writeFile (dist/core-DlDe_Eze.js:232-236), and next typegen ends in process.exit(0). Moving the awaited CLI after typegen makes it the last writer before tsc.
• Evidence. A delay harness reproduces the race: the old order fails 3/3 at a fixed 3000 ms and 20/20 at random 0–1500 ms, all with TS2306. The new order passes 3/3, 20/20, and 20/20 on a cold .source. In every green jitter run the race still fired and was absorbed.
• Other entry points. postinstall and next dev are not exposed. next build keeps an in-process window that fails loudly, and only under a delay of 1000 ms or more. I accept option A, leaving it as a known residual: no reliance on fumadocs-mdx's private _FUMADOCS_MDX guard and no patch.

Deviation handled by the seat: the dev's second commit (4afa327) updates the Commands line of AGENTS.md, which records the old order. AGENTS.md is governed and human-merge only, so it is not in this PR. The line stays staged and goes into the seat's pending governed AGENTS.md change, together with #256 part 2, so this fix does not wait on a maintainer merge.

After merge: watch the main run, whose type-check now uses this order, through to the deploy verdict and smoke, then post the landed note here. #305 is next on the branch.

Landed and live · 2026-10-06T15:43Z

• PR fix(docs): run the awaited fumadocs-mdx write after next typegen in type-check #313: squash 92a12d2, merged by the seat. Fixes #311 closed this card.
• CI on main (run 37489001205, attempt 1): build succeeded first time with the new type-check order, along with Node floor, Deploy docs / Publish the tested Worker and Deploy docs / Smoke-check the live site. Roll back was skipped.
• Deploy verdict: ✓ deploy: 17a1012c-a7c4-46fa-9f30-a7acd1112c2d is serving, replacing 12315e65-a391-4fd3-9d8f-a7e1b1e09a1c.
• Still open:
  • The AGENTS.md Commands line goes with the seat's pending governed AGENTS.md change.
  • The next build in-process window is accepted as a known residual (option A).
• Housekeeping: the seat removes pm:dispatched from this card.
