Turbopack build panics (EISDIR) in 16.3.0 when output tracing encounters a symlink to a directory (regression from 16.2)

Important limitations

• This may be one public report, not widespread demand.
• Current independent report count: 1.
• This is currently a single independent report. It has not passed clustering or human review as a verified signal.
• No market size, willingness to pay, competition, or trend claims are inferred here.

Preserve type safety while building an application

Workflow

typescript: 6.0.2

Desired outcome

** the build succeeds, as it does on 16.2.11 — a symlink to a directory inside a traced/included path should be traversed or skipped, not treated as a regular file.

Severity

Not enough evidence yet.

Urgency

Not enough evidence yet.

Evidence indicators

What would upgrade this

• Additional independent reports from distinct communities or authors.
• Human clustering into a review signal, then explicit publication approval.
• Counter-evidence review and durable original-source verification.
