This was really meant to be there from the beginning. A `cache()`:ed
entry has a life time. On the server this ends when the render finishes.
On the client this ends when the cache of that scope gets refreshed.
When a cache is no longer needed, it should be possible to abort any
outstanding network requests or other resources. That's what
`cacheSignal()` gives you. It returns an `AbortSignal` which aborts when
the cache lifetime is done based on the same execution scope as a
`cache()`ed function - i.e. `AsyncLocalStorage` on the server or the
render scope on the client.
```js
import {cacheSignal} from 'react';
async function Component() {
await fetch(url, { signal: cacheSignal() });
}
```
For `fetch` in particular, a patch should really just do this
automatically for you. But it's useful for other resources like database
connections.
Another reason it's useful to have a `cacheSignal()` is to ignore any
errors that might have triggered from the act of being aborted. This is
just a general useful JavaScript pattern if you have access to a signal:
```js
async function getData(id, signal) {
try {
await queryDatabase(id, { signal });
} catch (x) {
if (!signal.aborted) {
logError(x); // only log if it's a real error and not due to cancellation
}
return null;
}
}
```
This just gets you a convenient way to get to it without drilling
through so a more idiomatic code in React might look something like.
```js
import {cacheSignal} from "react";
async function getData(id) {
try {
await queryDatabase(id);
} catch (x) {
if (!cacheSignal()?.aborted) {
logError(x);
}
return null;
}
}
```
If it's called outside of a React render, we normally treat any cached
functions as uncached. They're not an error call. They can still load
data. It's just not cached. This is not like an aborted signal because
then you couldn't issue any requests. It's also not like an infinite
abort signal because it's not actually cached forever. Therefore,
`cacheSignal()` returns `null` when called outside of a React render
scope.
Notably the `signal` option passed to `renderToReadableStream` in both
SSR (Fizz) and RSC (Flight Server) is not the same instance that comes
out of `cacheSignal()`. If you abort the `signal` passed in, then the
`cacheSignal()` is also aborted with the same reason. However, the
`cacheSignal()` can also get aborted if the render completes
successfully or fatally errors during render - allowing any outstanding
work that wasn't used to clean up. In the future we might also expand on
this to give different
[`TaskSignal`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TaskSignal)
to different scopes to pass different render or network priorities.
On the client version of `"react"` this exposes a noop (both for
Fiber/Fizz) due to `disableClientCache` flag but it's exposed so that
you can write shared code.
There's a special case that happens when we replay logs on the client
because this doesn't happen within the context of any particular
rendered component. So we need to reimplement things that would normally
be handled by a full client like Fiber.
The implementation of `getOwnerStackByComponentInfoInDev` is the
simplest version since it doesn't have any client components in it so I
move it to `shared/`. It's only used by Flight but both `react-server/`
and `react-client/` packages. The ReactComponentInfo type is also more
generic than just Flight anyway.
In a follow up I still need to implement this in React DevTools when
native tasks are not available so that it appends it to the console.
We still filter them before passing from server to client in Flight
Server but when presenting a native stack, we don't need to filter them.
That's left to ignore listing in the presentation.
The stacks are pretty clean regardless thanks to the bottom stack
frames.
We can also unify the owner stack formatters into one shared module
since Fizz/Flight/Fiber all do the same thing. DevTools currently does
the same thing but is forked so it can support multiple versions.

Previously we were using fake evals to recreate a stack for console
replaying and thrown errors. However, for owner stacks we just used the
raw string that came from the server.
This means that the format of the owner stack could include different
formats. Like Spidermonkey format for the client components and V8 for
the server components. This means that this stack can't be parsed
natively by the browser like when printing them as error like in
https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/30289. Additionally, since
there's no source file registered with that name and no source mapping
url, it can't be source mapped.
Before:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cbe03f9c-96ac-48fb-b58f-f3a224a774f4">
Instead, we need to create a fake stack like we do for the other things.
That way when it's printed as an Error it gets source mapped. It also
means that the format is consistently in the native format of the
current browser.
After:
<img width="753" alt="after-firefox"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b436f1f5-ca37-4203-b29f-df9828c9fad3">
So this is nice because you can just take the result from
`captureOwnerStack()` and append it to an `Error` stack and print it
natively. E.g. this is what React DevTools will do.
If you want to parse and present it yourself though it's a bit awkward
though. The `captureOwnerStack()` API now includes a bunch of
`rsc://React/` URLs. These don't really have any direct connection to
the source map. Only the browser knows this connection from the eval.
You basically have to strip the prefix and then manually pass the
remainder to your own `findSourceMapURL`.
Another awkward part is that since Safari doesn't support eval sourceURL
exposed into `error.stack` - it means that `captureOwnerStack()` get an
empty location for server components since the fake eval doesn't work
there. That's not a big deal since these stacks are already broken even
for client modules for many because the `eval-source-map` strategy in
Webpack doesn't work in Safari for this same reason.
A lot of this refactoring is just clarifying that there's three kind of
ReactComponentInfo fields:
- `stack` - The raw stack as described on the original server.
- `debugStack` - The Error object containing the stack as represented in
the current client as fake evals.
- `debugTask` - The same thing as `debugStack` but described in terms of
a native `console.createTask`.
Wire up owner stacks in Flight to the shared internals. This exposes it
to `captureOwnerStack()`.
In this case we install it permanently as we only allow one RSC renderer
which then supports async contexts. Same thing we do for owner.
This also ends up adding it to errors logged by React through
`consoleWithStackDev`. The plan is to eventually remove that but this is
inline with what we do in Fizz and Fiber already.
However, at the same time we've instrumented the console so we need to
strip them back out before sending to the client. This lets the client
control whether to add the stack back in or allowing
`console.createTask` to control it.
This is another reason we shouldn't append them from React but for now
we hack it by removing them after the fact.

Add another AsyncLocalStorage to the FlightServerConfig. This context
tracks data on a per component level. Currently the only thing we track
is the owner in DEV.
AsyncLocalStorage around each component comes with a performance cost so
we only do it DEV. It's not generally a particularly safe operation
because you can't necessarily associate side-effects with a component
based on execution scope. It can be a lazy initializer or cache():ed
code etc. We also don't support string refs anymore for a reason.
However, it's good enough for optional dev only information like the
owner.

Supporting Float methods such as ReactDOM.preload() are challenging for
flight because it does not have an easy means to convey direct
executions in other environments. Because the flight wire format is a
JSON-like serialization that is expected to be rendered it currently
only describes renderable elements. We need a way to convey a function
invocation that gets run in the context of the client environment
whether that is Fizz or Fiber.
Fiber is somewhat straightforward because the HostDispatcher is always
active and we can just have the FlightClient dispatch the serialized
directive.
Fizz is much more challenging becaue the dispatcher is always scoped but
the specific request the dispatch belongs to is not readily available.
Environments that support AsyncLocalStorage (or in the future
AsyncContext) we will use this to be able to resolve directives in Fizz
to the appropriate Request. For other environments directives will be
elided. Right now this is pragmatic and non-breaking because all
directives are opportunistic and non-critical. If this changes in the
future we will need to reconsider how widespread support for async
context tracking is.
For Flight, if AsyncLocalStorage is available Float methods can be
called before and after await points and be expected to work. If
AsyncLocalStorage is not available float methods called in the sync
phase of a component render will be captured but anything after an await
point will be a noop. If a float call is dropped in this manner a DEV
warning should help you realize your code may need to be modified.
This PR also introduces a way for resources (Fizz) and hints (Flight) to
flush even if there is not active task being worked on. This will help
when Float methods are called in between async points within a function
execution but the task is blocked on the entire function finishing.
This PR also introduces deduping of Hints in Flight using the same
resource keys used in Fizz. This will help shrink payload sizes when the
same hint is attempted to emit over and over again
