Subject: [PATCH 03/55] Implement Incremental Render Request Manager and Bundle
 Validation

- Introduced `IncrementalRenderRequestManager` to handle streaming NDJSON requests, managing state and processing of incremental render requests.
- Added `validateBundlesExist` utility function to check for the existence of required bundles, improving error handling for missing assets.
- Refactored the incremental render endpoint to utilize the new request manager, enhancing the response lifecycle and error management.
- Updated tests to cover scenarios for missing bundles and validate the new request handling logic.

Subject: [PATCH 07/55] Refactor incremental rendering to use a new function
 stream handler

- Replaced the `IncrementalRenderRequestManager` with `handleIncrementalRenderStream` to manage streaming NDJSON requests more efficiently.
- Enhanced error handling and validation during the rendering process.
- Updated the `run` function to utilize the new stream handler, improving the response lifecycle and overall performance.
- Removed the deprecated `IncrementalRenderRequestManager` class to streamline the codebase.

Subject: [PATCH 08/55] Enhance error handling in incremental rendering stream

- Introduced improved error handling for malformed JSON chunks during the incremental rendering process.
- Added logging and reporting for errors in subsequent chunks while allowing processing to continue.
- Updated tests to verify behavior for malformed JSON in both initial and update chunks, ensuring robust error management.

Subject: [PATCH 09/55] Refactor incremental render tests for improved
 readability and maintainability

- Introduced helper functions to reduce redundancy in test setup, including `getServerAddress`, `createHttpRequest`, and `createInitialObject`.
- Streamlined the handling of HTTP requests and responses in tests, enhancing clarity and organization.
- Updated tests to utilize new helper functions, ensuring consistent structure and easier future modifications.

Subject: [PATCH 11/55] Refactor incremental render tests to use custom waitFor
 function

- Replaced inline wait functions with a new `waitFor` utility to improve test reliability and readability.
- Updated tests to utilize `waitFor` for asynchronous expectations, ensuring proper handling of processing times.
- Simplified the test structure by removing redundant wait logic, enhancing maintainability.

Subject: [PATCH 12/55] Enhance incremental render tests with helper functions
 for setup and processing

- Introduced `createBasicTestSetup` and `createStreamingTestSetup` helper functions to streamline test initialization and improve readability.
- Added `sendChunksAndWaitForProcessing` to handle chunk sending and processing verification, reducing redundancy in test logic.
- Updated existing tests to utilize these new helpers, enhancing maintainability and clarity in the test structure.

Subject: [PATCH 15/55] add echo server test and enhance error reporting in
 waitFor function

- Added detailed error reporting in the `waitFor` function to include the last encountered error message when a timeout occurs.
- Refactored the `createStreamingResponsePromise` function to improve clarity and maintainability by renaming variables and returning received chunks alongside the promise.
- Updated tests to utilize the new structure, ensuring robust handling of streaming responses and error scenarios.

Subject: [PATCH 16/55] Refactor incremental render request handling and
 improve error management

- Removed unnecessary bundle validation checks from the incremental render request flow.
- Enhanced the `handleIncrementalRenderRequest` function to directly call `handleRenderRequest`, streamlining the rendering process.
- Updated the `IncrementalRenderInitialRequest` type to support a more flexible structure for dependency timestamps.
- Improved error handling to capture unexpected errors during the rendering process, ensuring robust responses.
- Added cleanup logic in tests to restore mocks after each test case.

Subject: [PATCH 17/55] Refactor request handling by consolidating prechecks

- Removed individual protocol version and authentication checks from the request handling flow.
- Introduced a new `performRequestPrechecks` function to streamline the validation process for incoming requests.
- Updated the `authenticate` and `checkProtocolVersion` functions to accept request bodies directly, enhancing modularity.
- Improved error handling by ensuring consistent response structures across precheck validations.

Subject: [PATCH 20/55] Enhance asset upload handling to support bundles

- Updated the `/upload-assets` endpoint to differentiate between assets and bundles, allowing for more flexible uploads.
- Introduced logic to extract bundles prefixed with 'bundle_' and handle them separately.
- Integrated the `handleNewBundlesProvided` function to manage the processing of new bundles.
- Added comprehensive tests to verify the correct handling of uploads with various combinations of assets and bundles, including edge cases for empty requests and duplicate bundle hashes.

Subject: [PATCH 22/55] Add test for asset upload with bundles in hash
 directories

- Implemented a new test case for the `/upload-assets` endpoint to verify that bundles are correctly placed in their own hash directories rather than the targetBundles directory.
- Ensured that the test checks for the existence of the bundle in the appropriate directory and confirms that the target bundle directory remains empty, enhancing coverage for asset upload scenarios.

Subject: [PATCH 23/55] Add incremental render endpoint tests

- Implemented a suite of tests for the `/bundles/:bundleTimestamp/incremental-render/:renderRequestDigest` endpoint to verify successful rendering under various conditions, including pre-uploaded bundles and assets.
- Added scenarios to test failure cases, such as missing bundles, incorrect passwords, and invalid JSON payloads.
- Enhanced coverage for handling multiple dependency bundles and processing NDJSON chunks, ensuring robust error management and response validation.

Subject: [PATCH 24/55] Refactor and enhance incremental render endpoint tests

- Simplified test structure by introducing helper functions to reduce code duplication for creating worker apps and uploading bundles.
- Improved test cases for the `/bundles/:bundleTimestamp/incremental-render/:renderRequestDigest` endpoint, ensuring robust validation of successful renders and error handling for various scenarios.
- Added tests for handling invalid JSON and missing required fields, enhancing coverage for edge cases in the rendering process.
- Updated tests to ensure proper handling of multiple dependency bundles and improved response validation for different payload conditions.

Subject: [PATCH 26/55] Refactor VM handling and introduce ExecutionContext

- Replaced the `runInVM` function with a new `ExecutionContext` class to manage VM contexts more effectively.
- Updated the `handleRenderRequest` function to utilize the new `ExecutionContext`, improving the handling of rendering requests.
- Enhanced error management by introducing `VMContextNotFoundError` for better clarity when VM contexts are missing.
- Refactored tests to align with the new execution context structure, ensuring consistent behavior across rendering scenarios.

Subject: [PATCH 27/55] Fix runOnOtherBundle function parameters and improve
 global context handling

- Updated the parameters for the `runOnOtherBundle` function to ensure correct execution order.
- Introduced a reference to `globalThis.runOnOtherBundle` in the server rendering code for better accessibility.
- Enhanced the test fixture to align with the changes in the global context, ensuring consistent behavior across rendering requests.

Subject: [PATCH 28/55] Refactor incremental render handling and improve error
 management

- Introduced `IncrementalRenderSink` type to manage streaming updates more effectively.
- Updated `handleIncrementalRenderRequest` to return an optional sink and handle execution context errors gracefully.
- Refactored the `run` function to utilize the new sink for processing updates, enhancing error logging for unexpected chunks.
- Simplified test setup by removing unused sink methods, ensuring tests focus on relevant functionality.

Subject: [PATCH 29/55] Enhance incremental render functionality and improve
 test coverage

- Updated the `setResponse` call in the `run` function to correctly use `result.response`.
- Expanded the incremental render tests to cover new scenarios, including basic updates, multi-bundle interactions, and error handling for malformed update chunks.
- Introduced new helper functions in test fixtures to streamline the creation of async values and streams, enhancing the robustness of the tests.
- Improved the secondary bundle's functionality to support async value resolution and streaming, ensuring consistent behavior across bundles.

Subject: [PATCH 31/55] Fix incremental render tests (#2032)

Fix tests and refactor fixtures after NDJSON renderer changes

  - Fix request_spec.rb, handleRenderRequest, and serverRenderRSCReactComponent tests for new response structure
  - Separate incremental render fixtures from base test fixtures to prevent interference
  - Remove obsolete promise-based incremental render tests
  - Refactor VM bundle creation to use serverBundleCachePath
  - Clean up unneeded buildConfig call

Subject: [PATCH 33/55] Refactor generateRSCPayload from global to parameter
 (#2061)

- Fix stream closed checks for compatibility with different stream implementations
  - Add tests for concurrent incremental HTML streaming
  - Fix race condition by using unique bundle paths per test
  - Add tests for handleRequestClosed on connection close

+# Temporary monkey-patch for HTTPX bug with stream_bidi plugin + persistent connections
+#
+# Issue: When using HTTPX with both `persistent: true` and `.plugin(:stream_bidi)`,
+# calling `session.close` raises NoMethodError: undefined method `inflight?` for
+# an instance of HTTPX::Plugins::StreamBidi::Signal
+#
+# Root cause: The StreamBidi::Signal class is registered as a selectable in the
+# selector but doesn't implement the `inflight?` method required by Selector#terminate
+# (called during session close at lib/httpx/selector.rb:64)
+#
+# This patch adds the missing `inflight?` method to Signal. The method returns false
+# because Signal objects are just pipe-based notification mechanisms to wake up the
+# selector loop - they never have "inflight" HTTP requests or pending data buffers.
+#
+# The `unless method_defined?` guard ensures this patch won't override the method
+# when the official fix is released, making it safe to keep in the codebase.
+#
+# Can be removed once httpx releases an official fix.
+# Affected versions: httpx 1.5.1 (and possibly earlier)

Subject: [PATCH 36/55] Fix HTTPX streaming compatibility with stream_bidi
 plugin (#2251)

This PR fixes streaming request compatibility issues when using HTTPX
with both `:stream` and `:stream_bidi` plugins loaded on the same
connection.

When the base branch combined two separate HTTPX connections into one
(to use a single HTTP/2 connection for both standard and incremental
requests), streaming requests started timing out. The root cause:

1. The `stream_bidi` plugin's `RequestBodyMethods#empty?` method always
returns `false` when `stream: true`
2. This prevents the `END_STREAM` flag from being sent on the HTTP/2
DATA frame
3. The server waits indefinitely for more request data, causing a
timeout

Refactored `perform_request` to use the `build_request` pattern for both
streaming and non-streaming requests:

- **`execute_http_request`**: New helper that uses `build_request`
instead of `connection.post`
- **`encode_request_body`**: Manually encodes form/JSON data since
`form:` option doesn't work with `stream: true` (Form::Encoder doesn't
implement `<<`)
- **For streaming requests**: Passes `stream: true` to `build_request`
and calls `request.close` to explicitly send the `END_STREAM` flag
- **Consolidated error handling**: Both streaming and non-streaming
requests now share the same retry logic, timeout handling, and error
handling

Additionally, this PR includes a temporary patch for an [HTTPX
stream_bidi plugin
bug](https://github.com/HoneyryderChuck/httpx/issues/124):

**Problem:** When a streaming request fails and is retried, the
`@headers_sent` flag is not reset. This causes the `:body` callback to
fire prematurely on retry, leading to re-entrant `handle()` calls that
crash with `HTTP2::Error::InternalError`.

**Workaround:** The patch resets `@headers_sent` to `false` when
transitioning back to `:idle` state. This can be removed once fixed
upstream in the httpx gem.

Added size limits to the NDJSON incremental render stream handler to
prevent memory exhaustion from malicious or broken clients:

**Problem:** The NDJSON endpoint buffers incoming data until a newline
is encountered. A client sending continuous data without newlines would
cause unbounded memory growth. Fastify's `bodyLimit` is not enforced for
custom content type parsers that pass through raw streams.

**Solution:** Added two size limits:
- **`MAX_NDJSON_LINE_SIZE` (10MB)**: Limits single JSON line size
(matches Fastify's `fieldSizeLimit`)
- **`MAX_NDJSON_REQUEST_SIZE` (100MB)**: Limits total request size
(matches Fastify's `bodyLimit`)

- Updated `lib/react_on_rails_pro/request.rb`:
- Consolidated `perform_request` and `perform_streaming_request` into
one unified method
  - Added `execute_http_request` helper using `build_request` pattern
  - Added `encode_request_body` to handle both form and JSON encoding

- Added `lib/react_on_rails_pro/httpx_stream_bidi_patch.rb`:
- Temporary patch for HTTPX stream_bidi retry bug (resets
`@headers_sent` on `:idle` transition)

- Updated
`packages/react-on-rails-pro-node-renderer/src/worker/handleIncrementalRenderStream.ts`:
- Added `MAX_NDJSON_LINE_SIZE` (10MB) and `MAX_NDJSON_REQUEST_SIZE`
(100MB) constants
  - Added buffer size checks to prevent memory exhaustion

- Added
`packages/react-on-rails-pro-node-renderer/tests/handleIncrementalRenderStream.test.ts`:
  - Unit tests for NDJSON buffer size protection

- Updated `spec/react_on_rails_pro/request_spec.rb`:
- Changed tests to check encoded body string instead of internal HTTPX
structure
- Tests now verify actual request content rather than implementation
details

- Other fixes:
  - Fixed fixture paths in incremental rendering integration spec
  - Fixed RSpec tests for incremental rendering
  - Ignored `hasVMContextForBundle` in knip production check

- [x] Add/update test to cover these changes
- ~[ ] Update documentation~ (No documentation changes needed)
- ~[ ] Update CHANGELOG file~ (Internal fix, no user-facing changes)

- [x] All 18 request spec tests pass
- [x] RSC payload endpoint returns 200 OK with proper streamed JSON
response
- [x] Manual testing of streaming endpoints confirmed working
- [x] NDJSON buffer protection unit tests pass (5 tests)

 - **Thread-Safe Connection Management**: Fixed race conditions in `ReactOnRailsPro::Request` connection management. The lazy initialization (`@connection ||= create_connection`) was not atomic, allowing multiple threads to create duplicate connections at startup. Now uses a mutex with double-checked locking pattern for thread-safe initialization while maintaining lock-free reads for optimal performance. [PR 2259](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/pull/2259) by [AbanoubGhadban](https://github.com/AbanoubGhadban).
 
+- **HTTPX Streaming Compatibility**: Fixed streaming request timeouts when using HTTPX with both `:stream` and `:stream_bidi` plugins. Refactored `perform_request` to use the `build_request` pattern with explicit `request.close` to send the HTTP/2 `END_STREAM` flag. Also includes a temporary workaround for an [HTTPX stream_bidi plugin retry bug](https://github.com/HoneyryderChuck/httpx/issues/124) that caused crashes on request retries. [PR 2251](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/pull/2251) by [AbanoubGhadban](https://github.com/AbanoubGhadban).
+
 - **SECURITY: CVE-2025-55182 - React Server Components RCE Vulnerability**: by updating `react-on-rails-rsc` peer dependency to `v19.0.3` which mitigates that vulnerability. Also, users should update `react` and `react-dom` package versions to `v19.0.1` to ensure complete mitigation. [PR 2175](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/pull/2175) by [AbanoubGhadban](https://github.com/AbanoubGhadban).
 
 - Fixed compatibility issue with httpx 1.6.x by explicitly requiring http-2 >= 1.1.1. [PR 2141](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/pull/2141) by [AbanoubGhadban](https://github.com/AbanoubGhadban).

-# Temporary monkey-patch for HTTPX bug with stream_bidi plugin + persistent connections

+#
+# Temporary patch for HTTPX stream_bidi plugin retry bug
 #
-# Issue: When using HTTPX with both `persistent: true` and `.plugin(:stream_bidi)`,
-# calling `session.close` raises NoMethodError: undefined method `inflight?` for
-# an instance of HTTPX::Plugins::StreamBidi::Signal
+# Issue: https://github.com/HoneyryderChuck/httpx/issues/124
 #
-# Root cause: The StreamBidi::Signal class is registered as a selectable in the
-# selector but doesn't implement the `inflight?` method required by Selector#terminate
-# (called during session close at lib/httpx/selector.rb:64)
+# Problem: When a streaming request fails and is retried, the @headers_sent
+# flag is not reset. This causes the :body callback to fire prematurely on
+# retry, leading to re-entrant handle() calls that crash with:
+#   HTTP2::Error::InternalError
 #
-# This patch adds the missing `inflight?` method to Signal. The method returns false
-# because Signal objects are just pipe-based notification mechanisms to wake up the
-# selector loop - they never have "inflight" HTTP requests or pending data buffers.
+# This patch resets @headers_sent when transitioning back to :idle state.
 #
-# The `unless method_defined?` guard ensures this patch won't override the method
-# when the official fix is released, making it safe to keep in the codebase.
+# Can be removed once fixed upstream in httpx gem.
 #
-# Can be removed once httpx releases an official fix.
-# Affected versions: httpx 1.5.1 (and possibly earlier)

- * Starts handling an incremental render request. This function:

- * - Returns the result from handleRenderRequest directly
- * - Provides a sink for future incremental updates (to be implemented in next commit)
+ * Handles the initial request for incremental rendering and returns a "sink" for updates.
+ *
+ * ARCHITECTURE: Incremental rendering uses a "sink" pattern for update chunks:
+ *
+ * 1. Initial Request Flow:
+ *    Rails → NDJSON line 1 → handleIncrementalRenderRequest → VM executes renderingRequest
+ *    └── Creates AsyncPropsManager, stores in sharedExecutionContext
+ *    └── React component suspends on asyncPropsManager.getProp("propName")
+ *    └── Returns streaming response (initial shell HTML)
+ *
+ * 2. Update Chunk Flow (for each async prop):
+ *    Rails → NDJSON line N → sink.add(chunk) → VM executes updateChunk
+ *    └── updateChunk calls asyncPropsManager.setProp("propName", value)
+ *    └── React promise resolves, component resumes rendering
+ *    └── More HTML chunks stream back
+ *
+ * 3. Stream End Flow:
+ *    Rails closes HTTP request → sink.handleRequestClosed()
+ *    └── Executes onRequestClosedUpdateChunk (calls asyncPropsManager.endStream())
+ *    └── Any unresolved props reject with error
+ *
+ * The sink uses the SAME ExecutionContext created during initial request,
+ * so update chunks can access sharedExecutionContext.get("asyncPropsManager").
+ *
+ * @returns response - The initial render result (streaming HTML)
+ * @returns sink - Object with add() and handleRequestClosed() for processing updates

+/**
+ * Manages async props for incremental server-side rendering.
+ *
+ * DESIGN PRINCIPLES:
+ *
+ * 1. PROMISE CACHING: Same promise is returned for multiple getProp() calls.
+ *    This is CRITICAL for React's rendering model - if we returned new promises,
+ *    React would create infinite render loops or flicker as each render would
+ *    get a different promise object.
+ *
+ * 2. ORDER INDEPENDENCE: Props can be set before or after they're requested.
+ *    - If getProp() is called first: Creates promise, suspends, later setProp() resolves it
+ *    - If setProp() is called first: Creates resolved promise, getProp() returns immediately
+ *
+ * 3. STREAM LIFECYCLE: endStream() rejects all unresolved props.
+ *    This handles the case where the HTTP request closes before all props arrive,
+ *    allowing React to show error boundaries instead of hanging forever.
+ *
+ * USAGE FLOW:
+ * 1. ServerRenderingJsCode calls addAsyncPropsCapabilityToComponentProps()
+ * 2. Component calls getReactOnRailsAsyncProp("propName") → getProp() returns promise
+ * 3. React suspends on the promise
+ * 4. Rails sends update chunk → setProp("propName", value) → promise resolves
+ * 5. React resumes rendering with the value
+ *
+ * @example
+ * // Inside a React Server Component
+ * async function MyComponent({ getReactOnRailsAsyncProp }) {
+ *   const users = await getReactOnRailsAsyncProp('users');
+ *   return <UserList users={users} />;

+/**
+ * Adds async props capability to component props.
+ *
+ * DESIGN DECISION: Function in props vs. Hook
+ *
+ * We use `getReactOnRailsAsyncProp` function in props instead of a `useAsyncProps` hook because:
+ *
+ * 1. REACT SERVER COMPONENTS: RSCs cannot use hooks - they're async functions, not components
+ *    with a render lifecycle. Hooks require the React hooks runtime which isn't available in RSC.
+ *
+ * 2. SIMPLER ARCHITECTURE: No need for React Context or Provider wrappers.
+ *    The function is just a closure over the AsyncPropsManager.
+ *
+ * 3. TYPE SAFETY: TypeScript can infer the prop types from the generic parameters,
+ *    giving autocomplete for available async props.
+ *
+ * USAGE:
+ * ```tsx
+ * // Types define what async props are available
+ * type AsyncProps = { users: User[]; posts: Post[] };
+ * type SyncProps = { title: string };
+ *
+ * // Component receives getReactOnRailsAsyncProp with proper types
+ * function Dashboard({ title, getReactOnRailsAsyncProp }: WithAsyncProps<AsyncProps, SyncProps>) {
+ *   const users = await getReactOnRailsAsyncProp('users');  // Promise<User[]>
+ *   const posts = await getReactOnRailsAsyncProp('posts');  // Promise<Post[]>
+ *   // ...
+ * }
+ * ```
+ *
+ * @returns asyncPropManager - Stored in sharedExecutionContext for update chunks
+ * @returns props - Original props plus getReactOnRailsAsyncProp function

Subject: [PATCH 39/55] Fix AsyncPropsManager resolved flag and
 onRequestClosedUpdateChunk type
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

1. AsyncPropsManager: Add missing `resolved = true` in setProp()
   - The resolved flag was never set, causing endStream() to incorrectly
     reject already-resolved promises

2. handleIncrementalRenderRequest: Fix type mismatch
   - Changed onRequestClosedUpdateChunk type from string to UpdateChunk
   - Updated assertFirstIncrementalRenderRequestChunk to validate using
     assertIsUpdateChunk (DRY principle)
   - Removed redundant assertion in handleRequestClosed

 handleIncrementalRenderStream
MIME-Version: 1.0

errorReporter.message() already calls log.error() internally, so having
both resulted in duplicate log entries. Removed the explicit log.error()
calls and the unused log import.

+# Async Props: Streaming Server-Side Rendering
+
+Async Props is a React on Rails Pro feature that enables **streaming server-side rendering** with progressive hydration. Instead of waiting for all data to load before sending any HTML to the browser, Async Props streams the page shell immediately while data fetches happen in parallel.
+
+## The Problem with Traditional SSR
+
+In traditional SSR, the entire page must wait for **all** data before anything is sent to the browser:
+
+![Traditional SSR vs Streaming SSR](./images/traditional-vs-streaming-ssr.svg)
+
+This creates a poor user experience:
+- **Long Time to First Byte (TTFB)**: Users stare at a blank screen
+- **Sequential data fetching**: Each data source blocks the next
+- **All-or-nothing rendering**: No content until everything is ready
+
+## How Async Props Solves This
+
+Async Props uses React 18's streaming capabilities to render content progressively:
+
+![Timeline Comparison](./images/timeline-comparison.svg)
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+| Metric | Traditional SSR | Async Props |
+|--------|-----------------|-------------|
+| Time to First Byte | 1800ms | **50ms** |
+| Time to Interactive | 1800ms | **50ms** |
+| Data Fetching | Sequential | **Parallel** |
+| User Perception | Slow | **Fast** |
+
+## Progressive Loading in Action
+
+Watch how content loads progressively with Async Props:
+
+![Progressive Loading Sequence](./images/progressive-loading-sequence.svg)
+
+1. **Stage 1 (50ms)**: Shell renders with skeleton loaders - page is already interactive!
+2. **Stage 2 (500ms)**: First data arrives, Users section hydrates
+3. **Stage 3 (900ms)**: Remaining data arrives, page fully loaded
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+Async Props uses NDJSON streaming between Rails and the Node renderer:
+
+![Architecture Flow](./images/architecture-flow.svg)
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Rails Controller** defines async props using `async_prop` blocks
+2. **NDJSON Stream** opens between Rails and Node renderer
+3. **Shell HTML** is sent to browser immediately
+4. **Data fetches** happen in parallel on the Rails side
+5. **Resolved props** stream to Node as they complete
+6. **React hydrates** each section as its data arrives
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Define Async Props in Your Controller
+
+```ruby
+class DashboardController < ApplicationController
+  def show
+    render_component(
+      "Dashboard",
+      props: {
+        # Regular prop - available immediately
+        title: "My Dashboard",
+
+        # Async prop - streams when ready
+        users: async_prop { User.active.limit(10) },
+
+        # Another async prop - fetches in parallel
+        posts: async_prop { Post.recent.limit(5) }
+      }
+    )
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### 2. Use Suspense in Your Component
+
+```tsx
+import React, { Suspense } from 'react';
+
+function Dashboard({ title, users, posts }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>{title}</h1>
+
+      <Suspense fallback={<UsersSkeleton />}>
+        <UsersList users={users} />
+      </Suspense>
+
+      <Suspense fallback={<PostsSkeleton />}>
+        <PostsList posts={posts} />
+      </Suspense>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### 3. That's It!
+
+The shell with skeleton loaders renders immediately. As each async prop resolves, React hydrates that section automatically.
+
+## When to Use Async Props
+
+**Use Async Props when:**
+- You have slow database queries or API calls
+- Multiple independent data sources
+- Pages with distinct loading sections
+- SEO is important (full SSR, not client-side fetch)
+
+**Consider alternatives when:**
+- Data fetches are already fast (<100ms)
+- Single data source with no parallelization opportunity
+- Static pages with no dynamic data

+# Advanced Async Props Usage
+
+Advanced patterns, error handling, and optimization techniques for Async Props.
+
+## Error Boundaries
+
+Wrap async components with error boundaries to gracefully handle failures:
+
+```tsx
+import React, { Component, Suspense } from 'react';
+
+class AsyncErrorBoundary extends Component {
+  state = { hasError: false, error: null };
+
+  static getDerivedStateFromError(error) {
+    return { hasError: true, error };
+  }
+
+  render() {
+    if (this.state.hasError) {
+      return <div className="error">Failed to load: {this.state.error.message}</div>;
+    }
+    return this.props.children;
+  }
+}
+
+// Usage
+function Dashboard() {
+  return (
+    <AsyncErrorBoundary>
+      <Suspense fallback={<UsersSkeleton />}>
+        <UsersList />
+      </Suspense>
+    </AsyncErrorBoundary>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Nested Suspense Boundaries
+
+Create fine-grained loading states with nested boundaries:
+
+```tsx
+function Dashboard() {
+  return (
+    <div className="dashboard">
+      {/* Header loads first */}
+      <Suspense fallback={<HeaderSkeleton />}>
+        <Header />
+      </Suspense>
+
+      <div className="content">
+        {/* Sidebar and main content load independently */}
+        <Suspense fallback={<SidebarSkeleton />}>
+          <Sidebar />
+        </Suspense>
+
+        <main>
+          {/* Nested: Stats load before chart */}
+          <Suspense fallback={<StatsSkeleton />}>
+            <Stats />
+            <Suspense fallback={<ChartSkeleton />}>
+              <Chart />
+            </Suspense>
+          </Suspense>
+        </main>
+      </div>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Parallel vs Sequential Loading
+
+### Parallel (Recommended)
+
+All async props fetch simultaneously:
+
+```ruby
+# Both queries run in parallel
+render_component("Dashboard", props: {
+  users: async_prop { User.active },      # Starts immediately
+  posts: async_prop { Post.recent }       # Starts immediately
+})
+# Total time: max(users_time, posts_time)
+```
+
+### Sequential (When Needed)
+
+Chain dependent data:
+
+```ruby
+render_component("Profile", props: {
+  user: async_prop {
+    user = User.find(params[:id])
+    {
+      user: user,
+      posts: user.posts.recent  # Depends on user
+    }
+  }
+})
+```
+
+## Timeouts and Fallbacks
+
+### Per-Prop Timeout
+
+```ruby
+users: async_prop(timeout: 5) {
+  SlowExternalAPI.fetch_users
+}
+```
+
+### Fallback Values
+
+```ruby
+users: async_prop(on_error: ->(e) { { error: true, message: e.message } }) {
+  ExternalService.users
+}
+```
+
+### React-side Fallback
+
+```tsx
+function UsersList() {
+  const usersResult = useAsyncProp<UsersResult>('users');
+
+  if (usersResult.error) {
+    return <ErrorMessage message={usersResult.message} />;
+  }
+
+  return <ul>{usersResult.map(...)}</ul>;
+}
+```
+
+## Caching Strategies
+
+### Rails-side Caching
+
+```ruby
+users: async_prop {
+  Rails.cache.fetch("active_users", expires_in: 5.minutes) do
+    User.active.to_a
+  end
+}
+```
+
+### Component-level Caching
+
+```ruby
+render_component("Dashboard",
+  props: { users: async_prop { User.active } },
+  cache_key: ["dashboard", current_user.id, User.maximum(:updated_at)]
+)
+```
+
+## Optimizing Skeleton Loaders
+
+### Match Content Dimensions
+
+```tsx
+// Bad: Generic skeleton
+<div className="skeleton h-4 w-full" />
+
+// Good: Matches actual content
+<div className="skeleton h-[200px] w-full rounded-lg" /> {/* Card size */}
+```
+
+### Animate Thoughtfully
+
+```css
+.skeleton {
+  background: linear-gradient(90deg, #f0f0f0 25%, #e0e0e0 50%, #f0f0f0 75%);
+  background-size: 200% 100%;
+  animation: skeleton-loading 1.5s ease-in-out infinite;
+}
+
+@keyframes skeleton-loading {
+  0% { background-position: 200% 0; }
+  100% { background-position: -200% 0; }
+}
+```
+
+## Debugging Async Props
+
+### Enable Debug Mode
+
+```ruby
+# config/environments/development.rb
+ReactOnRailsPro.configure do |config|
+  config.logging_level = :debug
+  config.trace_async_props = true
+end
+```
+
+### Console Logging
+
+```javascript
+// In your React component
+function UsersList() {
+  const users = useAsyncProp('users');
+  console.log('[AsyncProp] users resolved:', users);
+  return ...;
+}
+```
+
+### React DevTools
+
+1. Open React DevTools
+2. Find Suspense components
+3. Check their "fallback" and "children" states
+4. Monitor hydration progress
+
+## Performance Monitoring
+
+### Track Async Prop Timing
+
+```ruby
+users: async_prop {
+  start = Time.now
+  result = User.active.to_a
+  Rails.logger.info "[AsyncProp] users: #{(Time.now - start) * 1000}ms"
+  result
+}
+```
+
+### Server Timing Headers
+
+```ruby
+# In your controller
+def show
+  timing_data = {}
+
+  props = {
+    users: async_prop {
+      start = Time.now
+      result = User.active
+      timing_data[:users] = Time.now - start
+      result
+    }
+  }
+
+  render_component("Dashboard", props: props)
+
+  response.headers['Server-Timing'] = timing_data.map { |k, v|
+    "#{k};dur=#{(v * 1000).round}"
+  }.join(', ')
+end
+```
+
+## Testing Async Props
+
+### RSpec Integration Tests
+
+```ruby
+RSpec.describe "Dashboard", type: :system do
+  it "loads users progressively" do
+    visit dashboard_path
+
+    # Shell renders immediately
+    expect(page).to have_css('.dashboard-header')
+    expect(page).to have_css('.users-skeleton')
+
+    # Wait for async content
+    expect(page).to have_css('.users-list', wait: 10)
+    expect(page).not_to have_css('.users-skeleton')
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Jest Component Tests
+
+```tsx
+import { render, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
+import { AsyncPropsProvider } from '@react-on-rails-pro/core';
+
+test('renders with async props', async () => {
+  const mockUsers = [{ id: 1, name: 'Alice' }];
+
+  const { getByText, queryByText } = render(
+    <AsyncPropsProvider initialProps={{ users: mockUsers }}>
+      <Suspense fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
+        <UsersList />
+      </Suspense>
+    </AsyncPropsProvider>
+  );
+
+  await waitFor(() => {
+    expect(getByText('Alice')).toBeInTheDocument();
+    expect(queryByText('Loading...')).not.toBeInTheDocument();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Optimistic Updates
+
+```tsx
+function UsersList() {
+  const [users, setUsers] = useState(useAsyncProp('users'));
+
+  const addUser = async (userData) => {
+    // Optimistic update
+    const optimisticUser = { ...userData, id: 'temp', pending: true };
+    setUsers([...users, optimisticUser]);
+
+    // Actual API call
+    const newUser = await api.createUser(userData);
+    setUsers(users => users.map(u =>
+      u.id === 'temp' ? newUser : u
+    ));
+  };
+
+  return ...;
+}
+```
+
+### Refresh on Focus
+
+```tsx
+function Dashboard() {
+  const users = useAsyncProp('users');
+  const [refreshKey, setRefreshKey] = useState(0);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const handleFocus = () => setRefreshKey(k => k + 1);
+    window.addEventListener('focus', handleFocus);
+    return () => window.removeEventListener('focus', handleFocus);
+  }, []);
+
+  return <UsersList key={refreshKey} users={users} />;
+}
+```
+
+## Migration from Traditional SSR
+
+### Before (Traditional)
+
+```ruby
+# Controller
+def show
+  @users = User.active
+  @posts = Post.recent
+end
+```
+
+```erb
+<!-- View -->
+<%= react_component("Dashboard", props: { users: @users, posts: @posts }) %>
+```
+
+### After (Async Props)
+
+```ruby
+# Controller
+def show
+  render_component("Dashboard", props: {
+    users: async_prop { User.active },
+    posts: async_prop { Post.recent }
+  })
+end
+```
+
+```tsx
+// Component (add Suspense)
+function Dashboard() {
+  return (
+    <>
+      <Suspense fallback={<UsersSkeleton />}>
+        <UsersList />
+      </Suspense>
+      <Suspense fallback={<PostsSkeleton />}>
+        <PostsList />
+      </Suspense>
+    </>
+  );
+}
+```

+# How Async Props Works
+
+This document provides a deep dive into the streaming architecture that powers Async Props.
+
+## The Streaming Pipeline
+
+Async Props creates a bidirectional streaming connection between Rails and the Node renderer using NDJSON (Newline-Delimited JSON).
+
+```
+┌─────────────┐    NDJSON Stream    ┌─────────────┐    HTTP Stream    ┌─────────────┐
+│   Rails     │ ←─────────────────→ │    Node     │ ───────────────→ │   Browser   │
+│   Server    │                     │  Renderer   │                   │             │
+└─────────────┘                     └─────────────┘                   └─────────────┘
+```
+
+### Phase 1: Request Initialization
+
+When a request hits your Rails controller:
+
+1. **Controller evaluates regular props** immediately
+2. **Async props are wrapped** in `async_prop` blocks (not executed yet)
+3. **NDJSON stream opens** to Node renderer
+4. **Render request sent** with component name and prop definitions
+
+```ruby
+# In your controller
+render_component("Dashboard", props: {
+  title: "Dashboard",           # Immediate: sent in initial request
+  users: async_prop { ... },    # Deferred: streamed when ready
+  posts: async_prop { ... }     # Deferred: streamed when ready
+})
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Shell Rendering
+
+The Node renderer:
+
+1. **Receives the render request** with prop definitions
+2. **Creates React Suspense boundaries** for async props
+3. **Renders the shell** using `renderToPipeableStream()`
+4. **Sends shell HTML** to browser immediately
+
+```jsx
+// React component with Suspense
+<Layout>
+  <Header title={title} />
+  <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
+    <Users users={users} />  {/* Shows skeleton initially */}
+  </Suspense>
+</Layout>
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Parallel Data Fetching
+
+Back on the Rails side:
+
+1. **Async prop blocks execute** in parallel (not sequentially!)
+2. **Each resolved value** is serialized and streamed
+3. **NDJSON chunks** are sent to Node as they complete
+
+```json
+{"resolvedAsyncProp": {"propName": "users", "value": [...]}}
+{"resolvedAsyncProp": {"propName": "posts", "value": [...]}}
+```
+
+### Phase 4: Progressive Hydration
+
+As each async prop arrives:
+
+1. **Node renderer receives** the resolved value
+2. **AsyncPropsManager caches** the value
+3. **React Suspense boundary** resolves
+4. **HTML chunk streams** to browser
+5. **React hydrates** the new content
+
+## The NDJSON Protocol
+
+NDJSON (Newline-Delimited JSON) enables bidirectional streaming:
+
+### Request Flow (Rails → Node)
+
+```json
+{"renderingRequest": "{\"componentName\":\"Dashboard\",\"props\":{...}}"}
+{"resolvedAsyncProp": {"propName": "users", "value": [{"id": 1, "name": "Alice"}]}}
+{"resolvedAsyncProp": {"propName": "posts", "value": [{"id": 1, "title": "Hello"}]}}
+{"requestEnded": true}
+```
+
+### Response Flow (Node → Rails)
+
+```json
+{"html": "<!DOCTYPE html><html>..."}
+{"consoleReplayScript": "<script>..."}
+{"renderingFinished": true}
+```
+
+## AsyncPropsManager
+
+The `AsyncPropsManager` class orchestrates async prop resolution on the Node side:
+
+```typescript
+class AsyncPropsManager {
+  // Stores promises for each async prop
+  private promiseControllers: Map<string, PromiseController>;
+
+  // Called when Rails sends a resolved prop
+  setProp(propName: string, value: unknown) {
+    const controller = this.promiseControllers.get(propName);
+    controller.resolve(value);
+  }
+
+  // Called by React components to await props
+  getProp(propName: string): Promise<unknown> {
+    return this.getOrCreatePromiseController(propName).promise;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Execution Context Isolation
+
+Each HTTP request gets its own isolated execution context:
+
+- **Separate VM context** for global isolation
+- **Own AsyncPropsManager** instance
+- **Independent Suspense boundaries**
+- **No cross-request data leakage**
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Errors are handled gracefully at each stage:
+
+### Rails-side Errors
+
+```ruby
+users: async_prop {
+  begin
+    User.active
+  rescue => e
+    { error: e.message }  # Streams error as resolved value
+  end
+}
+```
+
+### Node-side Errors
+
+- **Parse errors**: Logged and reported
+- **Render errors**: Captured by error boundaries
+- **Stream errors**: Connection closed gracefully
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+| Operation | Latency |
+|-----------|---------|
+| NDJSON stream setup | ~5ms |
+| Shell render | ~20-50ms |
+| Async prop serialization | ~1-5ms per prop |
+| React hydration | ~10-50ms per boundary |
+
+### Why Parallel is Faster
+
+Traditional SSR:
+```
+Fetch Users (800ms) → Fetch Posts (600ms) → Render (200ms) = 1600ms total
+```
+
+Async Props:
+```
+Shell Render (50ms) ──────────────────────────────────────→ TTFB: 50ms
+├── Fetch Users (800ms) ─→ Stream ─→ Hydrate
+└── Fetch Posts (600ms) ─→ Stream ─→ Hydrate
+                                      Total: 900ms (after TTFB)
+```
+
+## Debugging Tips
+
+### Enable Verbose Logging
+
+```ruby
+# config/initializers/react_on_rails_pro.rb
+ReactOnRailsPro.configure do |config|
+  config.logging_level = :debug
+end
+```
+
+### Inspect NDJSON Stream
+
+```bash
+# In development, you can see the stream in your Rails logs
+tail -f log/development.log | grep NDJSON
+```
+
+### React DevTools
+
+Use React DevTools to see Suspense boundaries and their states during hydration.

Subject: [PATCH 45/55] Add animated SVG diagrams for Async Props documentation
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Animated SVG files using SMIL animations:

- streaming-flow.svg: Shows data packets flowing from Rails → Node → Browser
  with timeline markers appearing as content loads

- progressive-browser.svg: Browser mockup with skeleton shimmer effect,
  content sections appearing progressively with status badges

- race-comparison.svg: Side-by-side Traditional vs Async Props race
  showing the dramatic TTFB difference (4000ms vs 50ms)

- data-packets.svg: Dark-themed visualization of NDJSON protocol
  with animated packets traveling between Rails, Node, and Browser

All animations use SMIL (<animate>, <animateTransform>) which can be
converted to GIF using tools like svg2gif or Puppeteer.

Subject: [PATCH 47/55] feat: Implement async props with incremental rendering
 for React Server Components (#1853)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Components

This PR adds a new helper `stream_react_component_with_async_props` that
lets you start rendering a React component **immediately** while
database queries run in the background. As each query completes, the
result streams to the component, which progressively updates. This
dramatically improves Time to First Byte (TTFB) for pages with slow data
fetches.

```ruby
<%= stream_react_component("Dashboard", props: {
  users: User.all.to_a,        # 1 second
  posts: Post.recent.to_a,     # 1 second
  metrics: Metric.summary      # 1 second
}) %>

<%= stream_react_component_with_async_props("Dashboard", props: { title: "My Dashboard" }) do |emit|
  emit.call("users", User.all.to_a)      # Streams when ready
  emit.call("posts", Post.recent.to_a)   # Streams when ready
  emit.call("metrics", Metric.summary)   # Streams when ready
end %>
```

React on Rails Pro supports **streaming SSR** using React 18's
`renderToPipeableStream`. This allows the server to start sending HTML
before the entire page is rendered, showing loading states via
`<Suspense>` boundaries.

However, there's a fundamental bottleneck: **all props must be fetched
before rendering begins**.

```
Current Flow:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Time: 0ms                                              3000ms      │
│                                                                    │
│ Rails:  [──── Fetch users ────][── Fetch posts ──][─ metrics ─]   │
│                                                          │         │
│ Node:                                                    [render]  │
│                                                              │     │
│ Browser:                                                     [HTML]│
│                                                                    │
│ User sees: Nothing for 3 seconds, then entire page appears        │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

Even though React *can* stream HTML incrementally, we're not leveraging
it because Rails blocks on data fetching first.

**What we want:**

```
Desired Flow:
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Time: 0ms        500ms      1500ms     2500ms          3000ms      │
│                                                                    │
│ Rails:  [── users ──]                                              │
│         [────── posts ──────]                                      │
│         [─────────── metrics ───────────]                          │
│              ↓           ↓           ↓                             │
│ Node:   [shell]────[+users]────[+posts]────[+metrics]              │
│            ↓           ↓           ↓           ↓                   │
│ Browser: [loading] [users!]   [posts!]    [complete]               │
│                                                                    │
│ User sees: Loading state at 50ms, progressive content after       │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

We introduce **async props** - props that are declared upfront but whose
values arrive *after* rendering has already started.

The React component renders immediately with loading states. As each
async prop value arrives from Rails, the component re-renders with the
new data. This is powered by:

1. **Bidirectional HTTP/2 streaming** between Rails and Node
2. **Promise-based suspension** in React Server Components
3. **Request-scoped state sharing** to coordinate between initial render
and updates

| Component | Purpose |
|-----------|---------|
| `stream_react_component_with_async_props` | New Rails helper that
accepts a block for async props |
| `AsyncPropsEmitter` | Ruby class that sends prop values to Node as
they become available |
| `/incremental-render/` endpoint | New Node endpoint that accepts
streaming updates |
| `AsyncPropsManager` | TypeScript class that manages promises for async
props |
| `sharedExecutionContext` | Request-scoped Map for sharing state
between render and updates |

---

Before diving into the architecture, let's define the key concepts:

A simple streaming format where each line is a valid JSON object:

```
{"type": "init", "data": "..."}
{"type": "update", "propName": "users", "value": [...]}
{"type": "update", "propName": "posts", "value": [...]}
```

**Why NDJSON?** It allows streaming JSON objects one at a time over a
single HTTP connection. Each line can be parsed independently as it
arrives.

HTTP/2 allows sending data in both directions simultaneously on a single
connection:

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                    HTTP/2 Stream                             │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Rails → Node:  Request data, then updates as props ready   │
│  Node → Rails:  HTML chunks as React renders them           │
│                                                              │
│  Both happen at the same time on ONE connection!            │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

React 18's streaming SSR can pause rendering when it hits a Promise,
continue with other parts of the tree, and resume when the Promise
resolves:

```jsx
function Dashboard() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Header />  {/* Renders immediately */}
      <Suspense fallback={<Spinner />}>
        <UserList users={asyncPromise} />  {/* Waits for promise */}
      </Suspense>
      <Footer />  {/* Renders immediately */}
    </div>
  );
}
```

When Node renders a React component, it creates an **ExecutionContext**
- an isolated environment for that specific HTTP request.

The `sharedExecutionContext` is a `Map` within this environment that
allows the initial render code and subsequent update code to share data
(like the AsyncPropsManager instance) **without using global
variables**.

```javascript
// During initial render:
sharedExecutionContext.set("asyncPropsManager", manager);

// During update (same request, moments later):
const manager = sharedExecutionContext.get("asyncPropsManager");
manager.setProp("users", data);
```

**Why not globals?** The Node renderer handles multiple concurrent
requests. Global variables would leak data between users.

---

Provides cooperative concurrency via Fibers. Key constructs we use:

```ruby
Async do |task|
  barrier = Async::Barrier.new

  barrier.async { fetch_users }    # Runs concurrently
  barrier.async { fetch_posts }    # Runs concurrently

  barrier.wait  # Waits for all to complete
end
```

We use `barrier.async` to run the async props block concurrently with
streaming the response.

HTTPX is our HTTP client for communicating with the Node renderer. The
`stream_bidi` plugin enables bidirectional streaming:

```ruby
response = connection.post(url, body: data)

request = connection.build_request("POST", url, stream: true)
response = connection.request(request, stream: true)
request << "more data"  # Send while response streams back
request.close           # Signal end of request body
```

The Node renderer uses Fastify to handle HTTP requests. We register a
new endpoint:

```typescript
app.post('/bundles/:bundleTimestamp/incremental-render/:digest', handler);
```

Each JavaScript bundle runs in an isolated VM context. The
`ExecutionContext` wraps VM operations and manages the
`sharedExecutionContext` Map.

---

Let's trace through a complete request step by step:

```erb
<%= stream_react_component_with_async_props("Dashboard", props: { title: "Hi" }) do |emit|
  emit.call("users", User.all.to_a)
end %>
```

The helper:
1. Stores the block in `options[:async_props_block]`
2. Calls the standard `stream_react_component` pipeline

In `NodeRenderingPool#eval_streaming_js`:

```ruby
async_props_block = render_options.internal_option(:async_props_block)

if async_props_block
  # Use incremental rendering endpoint
  Request.render_code_with_incremental_updates(path, js_code, async_props_block: async_props_block)
else
  # Use standard streaming endpoint
  Request.render_code_as_stream(path, js_code)
end
```

```ruby
request = connection.build_request("POST", path,
  headers: { "content-type" => "application/x-ndjson" },
  body: [],
  stream: true
)

emitter = AsyncPropsEmitter.new(bundle_timestamp, request)

response = connection.request(request, stream: true)

request << "#{initial_data.to_json}\n"
```

```ruby
barrier.async do
  async_props_block.call(emitter)  # User's block runs here
ensure
  request.close  # Signals end of request body
end
```

The block runs in a separate Fiber while the response streams back to
the client.

The `/incremental-render/` endpoint parses the first NDJSON line:

```typescript
// handleIncrementalRenderStream.ts
for await (const chunk of request.raw) {
  // Parse NDJSON lines
  const parsed = JSON.parse(line);

  if (!hasReceivedFirstObject) {
    // First line: Start rendering
    const result = await handleIncrementalRenderRequest(parsed);
    // Returns response stream + sink for updates
  }
}
```

The rendering code includes setup for async props:

```javascript
// Generated by ServerRenderingJsCode#async_props_setup_js
if (ReactOnRails.isRSCBundle) {
  var { props, asyncPropManager } =
    ReactOnRails.addAsyncPropsCapabilityToComponentProps(usedProps);
  usedProps = props;
  sharedExecutionContext.set("asyncPropsManager", asyncPropManager);
}

// Then render the component with enhanced props
return ReactOnRails.serverRenderRSCReactComponent({ name, props: usedProps, ... });
```

```tsx
async function Dashboard({ title, getReactOnRailsAsyncProp }) {
  // This returns a Promise that will resolve when the prop arrives
  const usersPromise = getReactOnRailsAsyncProp('users');

  return (
    <Suspense fallback={<Spinner />}>
      <UserList users={usersPromise} />  {/* Suspends on promise */}
    </Suspense>
  );
}
```

React suspends on the unresolved promise and streams the initial shell
with loading state.

When `emit.call("users", data)` is called:

```ruby
update_chunk = {
  bundleTimestamp: @bundle_timestamp,
  updateChunk: <<~JS
    (function(){
      var manager = sharedExecutionContext.get("asyncPropsManager");
      manager.setProp("users", #{data.to_json});
    })()
  JS
}
@request_stream << "#{update_chunk.to_json}\n"
```

```typescript
// handleIncrementalRenderStream.ts - for subsequent NDJSON lines
await incrementalSink.add(parsed);

// handleIncrementalRenderRequest.ts - sink.add implementation
add: async (chunk) => {
  await executionContext.runInVM(chunk.updateChunk, bundlePath);
}
```

The update chunk JavaScript runs in the same ExecutionContext, accessing
the same `sharedExecutionContext` Map.

```typescript
// AsyncPropsManager#setProp
setProp(propName, propValue) {
  const controller = this.propNameToPromiseController.get(propName);
  controller.resolve(propValue);  // Promise resolves!
}
```

React detects the resolved promise, renders the component with data, and
streams more HTML.

When the Rails block completes and `request.close` is called:

1. HTTP/2 END_STREAM flag is sent
2. Node calls `sink.handleRequestClosed()`
3. This executes `onRequestClosedUpdateChunk` which calls
`asyncPropsManager.endStream()`
4. Any props that were never sent get their promises rejected

**Rails View:**
```erb
<%# app/views/dashboard/index.html.erb %>
<%= stream_react_component_with_async_props("Dashboard",
      props: { title: "My Dashboard" }) do |emit| %>

  <%# These queries run concurrently with rendering %>
  <% emit.call("users", User.active.includes(:profile).to_a) %>
  <% emit.call("recent_posts", Post.recent.limit(10).to_a) %>
  <% emit.call("notifications", current_user.notifications.unread.to_a) %>

<% end %>
```

**React Component:**
```tsx
// app/javascript/components/Dashboard.tsx
import { Suspense } from 'react';
import type { WithAsyncProps } from 'react-on-rails-pro';

// Define your prop types
type SyncProps = {
  title: string;
};

type AsyncProps = {
  users: User[];
  recent_posts: Post[];
  notifications: Notification[];
};

// WithAsyncProps adds getReactOnRailsAsyncProp to your props
type Props = WithAsyncProps<AsyncProps, SyncProps>;

export default function Dashboard({ title, getReactOnRailsAsyncProp }: Props) {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{title}</h1>  {/* Renders immediately */}

      <Suspense fallback={<UsersSkeleton />}>
        <UsersList users={getReactOnRailsAsyncProp('users')} />
      </Suspense>

      <Suspense fallback={<PostsSkeleton />}>
        <RecentPosts posts={getReactOnRailsAsyncProp('recent_posts')} />
      </Suspense>

      <Suspense fallback={<NotificationsSkeleton />}>
        <NotificationsBell items={getReactOnRailsAsyncProp('notifications')} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

// Async component that awaits the promise
async function UsersList({ users }: { users: Promise<User[]> }) {
  const resolvedUsers = await users;
  return (
    <ul>
      {resolvedUsers.map(user => (
        <li key={user.id}>{user.name}</li>
      ))}
    </ul>
  );
}
```

If a prop is never sent (e.g., the block raises an error), the promise
will reject when `endStream()` is called:

```tsx
import { ErrorBoundary } from 'react-error-boundary';

function Dashboard({ getReactOnRailsAsyncProp }) {
  return (
    <ErrorBoundary fallback={<p>Failed to load users</p>}>
      <Suspense fallback={<Spinner />}>
        <UsersList users={getReactOnRailsAsyncProp('users')} />
      </Suspense>
    </ErrorBoundary>
  );
}
```

**Good candidates:**
- Slow database queries (N+1, complex joins)
- External API calls
- Heavy computations
- Data that varies in load time

**Not needed for:**
- Fast queries (< 50ms)
- Static data
- Data needed for the initial shell/layout

---

**Problem:** The initial render and update chunks need to share the
`AsyncPropsManager` instance. Where should it live?

**Option 1: Global Variable (Rejected)**
```javascript
// ❌ DANGEROUS - Node handles multiple concurrent requests
global.asyncPropsManager = new AsyncPropsManager();

// Request A stores Alice's manager
global.asyncPropsManager = aliceManager;

// Request B (different user!) might read it
global.asyncPropsManager.setProp("data", bobsData); // Corrupts Alice's render!
```

**Option 2: Request-Scoped Map (Chosen)**
```javascript
// ✅ SAFE - Each request has its own Map
// Created in buildExecutionContext():
const sharedExecutionContext = new Map();

// Initial render stores manager
sharedExecutionContext.set("asyncPropsManager", manager);

// Update chunk (same ExecutionContext) retrieves it
const manager = sharedExecutionContext.get("asyncPropsManager");
```

The `sharedExecutionContext` is:
- Created once per HTTP request
- Passed to VM only during code execution
- Never stored globally
- Automatically garbage collected when request ends

**Problem:** How should the component access async props?

**Option 1: Custom Hook (Rejected)**
```tsx
// ❌ DOESN'T WORK - React Server Components can't use hooks
function Dashboard() {
  const users = useAsyncProps('users');  // Error: Hooks not available in RSC
  return <div>{users}</div>;
}
```

**Option 2: Function in Props (Chosen)**
```tsx
// ✅ WORKS - Just a closure, no hook runtime needed
function Dashboard({ getReactOnRailsAsyncProp }) {
  const users = await getReactOnRailsAsyncProp('users');
  return <div>{users}</div>;
}
```

React Server Components are async functions, not components with a
lifecycle. They can't use hooks because the hook runtime isn't available
server-side.

**Problem:** React may call render functions multiple times. What
happens if `getProp()` returns a new Promise each time?

```typescript
// ❌ BAD - New promise each call
getProp(name) {
  return new Promise(resolve => { ... });  // Different object!
}

// React renders, gets Promise A
// React re-renders, gets Promise B (different object)
// React thinks state changed, re-renders again
// Gets Promise C... infinite loop! 💥
```

**Solution:** Return the same Promise object for repeated calls:

```typescript
// ✅ GOOD - Cached promise
private cache = new Map<string, PromiseController>();

getProp(name) {
  if (this.cache.has(name)) {
    return this.cache.get(name).promise;  // Same object
  }
  // ... create and cache new promise
}
```

**Request (Rails → Node):**

Line 1 - Initial render request:
```json
{
  "gemVersion": "16.2.0",
  "protocolVersion": "2.0.0",
  "password": "...",
  "renderingRequest": "(function(componentName = 'Dashboard') { ... })()",
  "onRequestClosedUpdateChunk": {
    "bundleTimestamp": "abc123",
    "updateChunk": "(function(){ sharedExecutionContext.get('asyncPropsManager').endStream(); })()"
  }
}
```

Line 2+ - Update chunks:
```json
{
  "bundleTimestamp": "abc123",
  "updateChunk": "(function(){ sharedExecutionContext.get('asyncPropsManager').setProp('users', [...]); })()"
}
```

**Response (Node → Rails):**

Streaming HTML chunks:
```json
{"html": "<div id=\"Dashboard\"><!--$-->Loading...", "consoleReplayScript": "", "isShellReady": true}
{"html": "<ul><li>User 1</li></ul><!--/$-->", "consoleReplayScript": "", "isShellReady": true}
```

We discovered a bug in HTTPX's `stream_bidi` plugin where the
`@headers_sent` flag isn't reset on retry, causing crashes. We include a
patch:

```ruby
module HTTPX::Plugins::StreamBidi::RequestMethodsRetryFix
  def transition(nextstate)
    @headers_sent = false if nextstate == :idle
    super
  end
end
```

This will be removed once fixed upstream.

**None.** This is an additive feature. Existing code continues to work
unchanged.

---

- [ ] Add timeout support for individual async props
- [ ] Performance benchmarks comparing before/after
- [ ] DevTools integration to visualize async prop timing
- [ ] Support for async props in non-RSC streaming (client components)

 ### [Unreleased]
 
+#### Pro
+
+##### Fixed
+
+- **HTTPX Streaming Compatibility**: Fixed streaming request timeouts when using HTTPX with both `:stream` and `:stream_bidi` plugins. Refactored `perform_request` to use the `build_request` pattern with explicit `request.close` to send the HTTP/2 `END_STREAM` flag. Also includes a temporary workaround for an [HTTPX stream_bidi plugin retry bug](https://github.com/HoneyryderChuck/httpx/issues/124) that caused crashes on request retries. [PR 2251](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/pull/2251) by [AbanoubGhadban](https://github.com/AbanoubGhadban).

+ *
+ * 1. Initial Request Flow:
+ *    Rails → NDJSON line 1 → handleIncrementalRenderRequest → VM executes renderingRequest
+ *    └── Creates AsyncPropsManager, stores in sharedExecutionContext
+ *    └── React component suspends on asyncPropsManager.getProp("propName")
+ *    └── Returns streaming response (initial shell HTML)
+ *
+ * 2. Update Chunk Flow (for each async prop):
+ *    Rails → NDJSON line N → sink.add(chunk) → VM executes updateChunk
+ *    └── updateChunk calls asyncPropsManager.setProp("propName", value)
+ *    └── React promise resolves, component resumes rendering
+ *    └── More HTML chunks stream back
+ *
+ * 3. Stream End Flow:
+ *    Rails closes HTTP request → sink.handleRequestClosed()
+ *    └── Executes onRequestClosedUpdateChunk (calls asyncPropsManager.endStream())
+ *    └── Any unresolved props reject with error
+ *
+ * The sink uses the SAME ExecutionContext created during initial request,
+ * so update chunks can access sharedExecutionContext.get("asyncPropsManager").
+ *
+ * @returns response - The initial render result (streaming HTML)
+ * @returns sink - Object with add() and handleRequestClosed() for processing updates

+ * Manages async props for incremental server-side rendering.
+ *
+ * DESIGN PRINCIPLES:
+ *
+ * 1. PROMISE CACHING: Same promise is returned for multiple getProp() calls.
+ *    This is CRITICAL for React's rendering model - if we returned new promises,
+ *    React would create infinite render loops or flicker as each render would
+ *    get a different promise object.
+ *
+ * 2. ORDER INDEPENDENCE: Props can be set before or after they're requested.
+ *    - If getProp() is called first: Creates promise, suspends, later setProp() resolves it
+ *    - If setProp() is called first: Creates resolved promise, getProp() returns immediately
+ *
+ * 3. STREAM LIFECYCLE: endStream() rejects all unresolved props.
+ *    This handles the case where the HTTP request closes before all props arrive,
+ *    allowing React to show error boundaries instead of hanging forever.
+ *
+ * USAGE FLOW:
+ * 1. ServerRenderingJsCode calls addAsyncPropsCapabilityToComponentProps()
+ * 2. Component calls getReactOnRailsAsyncProp("propName") → getProp() returns promise
+ * 3. React suspends on the promise
+ * 4. Rails sends update chunk → setProp("propName", value) → promise resolves
+ * 5. React resumes rendering with the value
+ *
+ * @example
+ * // Inside a React Server Component
+ * async function MyComponent({ getReactOnRailsAsyncProp }) {
+ *   const users = await getReactOnRailsAsyncProp('users');
+ *   return <UserList users={users} />;
+ * }

+ *
+ * We use `getReactOnRailsAsyncProp` function in props instead of a `useAsyncProps` hook because:
+ *
+ * 1. REACT SERVER COMPONENTS: RSCs cannot use hooks - they're async functions, not components
+ *    with a render lifecycle. Hooks require the React hooks runtime which isn't available in RSC.

+ * 2. SIMPLER ARCHITECTURE: No need for React Context or Provider wrappers.
+ *    The function is just a closure over the AsyncPropsManager.
+ *
+ * 3. TYPE SAFETY: TypeScript can infer the prop types from the generic parameters,
+ *    giving autocomplete for available async props.
+ *
+ * USAGE:
+ * ```tsx
+ * // Types define what async props are available
+ * type AsyncProps = { users: User[]; posts: Post[] };
+ * type SyncProps = { title: string };
+ *
+ * // Component receives getReactOnRailsAsyncProp with proper types
+ * function Dashboard({ title, getReactOnRailsAsyncProp }: WithAsyncProps<AsyncProps, SyncProps>) {

Subject: [PATCH 48/55] Fix async props race conditions (#2297)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fixes race conditions causing async props to not be delivered when
`emit.call` is invoked without delays.

- Update chunks could arrive before `AsyncPropsManager` was initialized
- Added `getOrCreateAsyncPropsManager()` for lazy initialization on
first access

- `handleIncrementalRenderStream` returned before HTTP response was
fully sent
- Changed `void onResponseStart()` to capture and await the promise

When using HTTPX's `stream_bidi` plugin with `retries` plugin for
bidirectional HTTP/2 streaming, a protocol error occurs during
connection retry:

```
stream 0 closed with error: protocol_error
```

**Root cause:** When a connection fails and retry kicks in, the
`retries` plugin calls `transition(:idle)` to reset the request state.
However:
1. The body callbacks from the previous attempt remain registered
2. These stale callbacks can fire during the retry, causing HTTP/2
protocol violations

**Fix:** Clear body callbacks when transitioning to `:idle` state in our
`httpx_stream_bidi_patch.rb`:
```ruby
if nextstate == :idle
  callbacks(:body).clear
end
```

This ensures a clean slate for the retried request.

**Problem:** When a `StreamChunkTimeoutError` occurs during incremental
rendering, workers would take 30+ seconds to shut down during graceful
termination.

**Root causes identified:**

1. **`onResponse` not called on abort/timeout:** The
`handleGracefulShutdown.ts` only used `onResponse` to decrement
`activeRequestsCount`. But `onResponse` is NOT called when:
   - Client aborts the connection (`onRequestAbort` fires instead)
   - Request times out (`onTimeout` fires instead)

2. **PassThrough stream not closed on error:** In `handleStreamError()`,
when the React render stream errors, the PassThrough wrapper was never
destroyed. Node.js `pipe()` does NOT automatically close the destination
on source error, leaving the HTTP response open.

3. **HTTP response not closed on chunk timeout:** When
`StreamChunkTimeoutError` fires, we called `handleRequestClosed()` to
tell React to finish, but nothing closed the HTTP response to Rails.

**Fixes applied:**

1. **`handleGracefulShutdown.ts`:** Added `onRequestAbort` and
`onTimeout` hooks to decrement `activeRequestsCount`

2. **`utils.ts`:** Fixed `handleStreamError()` to destroy the
PassThrough when source stream errors:
   ```typescript
   stream.on('error', (error) => {
     onError(error);
     newStreamAfterHandlingError.destroy(error);  // Close PassThrough!
   });
   ```

3. **`worker.ts`:** Added `res.raw.destroy()` after chunk timeout to
immediately close the HTTP connection

Fixes #2270
Fixes #2308

- [x] Test `stream_react_component_with_async_props` without sleep
delays
- [x] Verify async props are delivered correctly regardless of timing
- [x] Test worker restart scenario with persistent HTTP/2 connections
- [x] Verify graceful shutdown completes promptly after chunk timeout
errors

Subject: [PATCH 49/55] Add script to publish built JS packages to dist repo
 (#2767)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Summary
- Adds `scripts/publish-to-builds-repo.sh` that builds all JS packages
and pushes the compiled output to
[shakacode/react-on-rails-builds](https://github.com/shakacode/react-on-rails-builds)
- The builds repo contains pre-built `package.json` + `lib/` for each
package, ready for consumption as pnpm git dependencies — no TypeScript
compilation needed during install
- The script defaults to pushing to a branch matching the current
react_on_rails branch name (overridable with `--branch`)

### What the script does
1. Runs `pnpm build` for all packages
2. Copies `package.json` + `lib/` to the builds repo
3. Replaces `workspace:*` references with the actual version
4. Strips `devDependencies` and build-related scripts
5. Commits, pushes, and tags (e.g., `v16.4.0`)

### Usage
```bash
./scripts/publish-to-builds-repo.sh              # build + push + tag
./scripts/publish-to-builds-repo.sh --dry-run     # preview without pushing
./scripts/publish-to-builds-repo.sh --tag v1.2.3  # custom tag
./scripts/publish-to-builds-repo.sh --branch main # override branch
```

### Consumer usage (pnpm)
```json
{
  "react-on-rails": "github:shakacode/react-on-rails-builds#v16.4.0&path:react-on-rails",
  "react-on-rails-pro": "github:shakacode/react-on-rails-builds#v16.4.0&path:react-on-rails-pro",
  "react-on-rails-pro-node-renderer": "github:shakacode/react-on-rails-builds#v16.4.0&path:react-on-rails-pro-node-renderer"
}
```

## Test plan
- [x] Dry run completes successfully
- [x] Real run pushes to `shakacode/react-on-rails-builds` with correct
structure
- [x] Verified `workspace:*` replaced with actual version in dist
`package.json`
- [x] Verified `devDependencies` and build scripts stripped
- [x] Verified consumer `pnpm install` resolves correct packages in ~30s

-## React Hooks
+## React Component Props
 
-### `useAsyncProp`
+### `getReactOnRailsAsyncProp`
 
-Hook to access async props in your React components.
+Async prop accessor injected into Server Components by `addAsyncPropsCapabilityToComponentProps()`.
+The function returns the same Promise on repeated calls for the same prop name.
 
 ```tsx
-const value = useAsyncProp<T>(propName: string): T
-```
-
-#### Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Description |
-|-----------|------|-------------|
-| `propName` | string | Name of the async prop to retrieve |
-
-#### Returns
-
-The resolved value of the async prop. Throws a promise if not yet resolved (for Suspense).
-
-#### Example
-
-```tsx
-function UsersList() {
-  const users = useAsyncProp<User[]>('users');
+async function UsersList({ getReactOnRailsAsyncProp }) {
+  const users = await getReactOnRailsAsyncProp<User[]>('users');
 
   return (
     <ul>
-      {users.map(user => <li key={user.id}>{user.name}</li>)}
+      {users.map((user) => (
+        <li key={user.id}>{user.name}</li>
+      ))}
     </ul>
   );
 }
-
-// Usage with Suspense
-<Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
-  <UsersList />
-</Suspense>
 ```
 
-### `useAsyncPropsReady`
-
-Hook to check if all async props have resolved.
+#### Parameters
 
-```tsx
-const isReady = useAsyncPropsReady(): boolean
-```
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `propName` | string | Name of the async prop to retrieve |
 
 #### Returns
 
-`true` when all async props for the current component have resolved.
+The resolved value of the async prop. The promise is shared across repeated calls so React can suspend and resume consistently.

 - **[Pro]** **Minimum `async` gem version bumped to 2.29**: The streaming helper now requires `async >= 2.29` (previously `>= 2.6`) due to the migration from `Async::Variable` to `Async::Promise`. If your Gemfile pins the `async` gem below 2.29, you will need to update it before upgrading React on Rails Pro. Run `bundle update async` to pick up the new minimum.
   [PR 2832](https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails/pull/2832) by [justin808](https://github.com/justin808).
+- **[Pro]** **Node renderer upload protocol now requires `bundle_<hash>` form keys**: The `/upload-assets` endpoint now derives bundle destinations from `bundle_<hash>` fields and no longer accepts `targetBundles`-only payloads from older clients. Upgrade the React on Rails Pro gem and node renderer together so both sides speak the same upload protocol.

-## Controller Helpers
+## View Helpers
 
-### `async_prop`
+### `stream_react_component_with_async_props(component_name, options = {}, &props_block)`
 
-Wraps a block that will be evaluated asynchronously and streamed to the renderer.
+Streams a React component and exposes async props to the component via `getReactOnRailsAsyncProp`.
+The block should return a hash of async props to evaluate and stream.
 
-```ruby
-async_prop { expression }
-async_prop(options) { expression }
+```erb
+<%= stream_react_component_with_async_props("Dashboard", props: { title: "Dashboard" }) do
+  {
+    users: User.active.limit(10),
+    posts: Post.recent.limit(5)
+  }
+end %>
 ```
 
 #### Parameters
 
 | Parameter | Type | Description |
 |-----------|------|-------------|
-| `block` | Block | The code to evaluate asynchronously |
+| `component_name` | String | Name of the registered React component |
+| `options` | Hash | Same options as `stream_react_component` (for example `props`, `dom_id`, `html_options`, `trace`) |
+| `props_block` | Proc | Returns a hash of async props to stream |
 
-> **Status:** Per-prop `:timeout` and `:on_error` are not implemented in the current release. Use this page as the contract for the async prop flow, not as a promise that those helper options already exist.
+> **Status:** Per-prop `timeout:` and `on_error:` are not implemented in the current release. Handle those concerns inside the block or with the global `ssr_timeout`.
 
-### `render_component`
+### `rsc_payload_react_component_with_async_props(component_name, options = {}, &props_block)`
 
-Renders a React component with support for async props.
+Same async-prop block contract, but renders the RSC payload stream instead of the HTML stream.
 
-```ruby
-render_component(component_name, props:, options = {})
+```erb
+<%= rsc_payload_react_component_with_async_props("Dashboard") do
+  { users: User.active.limit(10) }

 ```
 
-#### Parameters
-
-| Parameter | Type | Description |
-|-----------|------|-------------|
-| `component_name` | String | Name of the registered React component |
-| `props` | Hash | Props to pass to the component (can include `async_prop` values) |
-| `options` | Hash | Additional rendering options |
-
-#### Options
-
-| Option | Type | Default | Description |
-|--------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `:prerender` | Boolean | `true` | Enable server-side rendering |
-| `:streaming` | Boolean | `true` | Enable streaming SSR (requires prerender) |
-| `:trace` | Boolean | `false` | Enable performance tracing |
