COPY --from=builder /app/src/lib/federation ./src/lib/federation
Root cause: Next.js output: 'standalone' file tracing follows static imports only; the federation runtime (src/lib/federation + src/lib/db + src/lib/dataDir.js) is reached only via dynamic import() from custom-server.js, so it's absent from .next/standalone. FEDERATION_MODE=edge booted anyway and silently fell through to local handlers.
Part 1 — Dockerfile: explicitly COPY the dynamic-import runtime set (the standalone trace can never see it):
COPY --from=builder /app/.next/standalone ./
COPY --from=builder /app/.next/static ./.next/static
COPY --from=builder /app/public ./public
# Dynamic-import runtime set — NOT in the standalone trace:
COPY --from=builder /app/src/lib/federation ./src/lib/federation
COPY --from=builder /app/src/lib/db ./src/lib/db
COPY --from=builder /app/src/lib/dataDir.js ./src/lib/dataDir.js
CMD ["node", "custom-server.js"]
Part 2 — custom-server.js: pure boot guard + FATAL exit(1) before any socket binds:
const REQUIRED_RUNTIME_MODULES = {
edge: ['src/lib/federation/index.js', 'src/lib/db/index.js', 'src/lib/dataDir.js'],
central: ['src/lib/federation/index.js', 'src/lib/db/index.js', 'src/lib/dataDir.js'],
};
// Pure helper: fs.existsSync probes only, no side effects, unit-testable.
function missingFederationRuntimeModules({ dir, mode }) {
const required = REQUIRED_RUNTIME_MODULES[mode] || []; // 'local' => [] (zero drift)
return required.filter((rel) => !fs.existsSync(path.join(dir, rel)));
}
if (require.main === module) {
let mode = resolveMode(); // unknown mode => throw => exit(1)
const missing = missingFederationRuntimeModules({ dir: __dirname, mode });
if (missing.length > 0) {
console.error(`[FATAL] FEDERATION_MODE=${mode} requires absent modules:`);
for (const rel of missing) console.error(` MISSING ${rel}`);
process.exit(1); // fail-closed, never inert
}
// ...loader: dynamic import .catch() also exits(1) — never serves local data
}
The runtime loader's import() .catch also exits(1) (a loader failure after a green guard is a real error, not a fallback signal), and bind failures (server.on('error')) FATAL too.
Implemented at `~/standalone-fix/` and verified three ways (no Docker daemon in sandbox, so image verification is reproduced bit-for-bit: fake builder emits the trace gap → Dockerfile COPY sequence constructs the image → files "docker-cp'd" back out and probed at the exact guard paths):
- **Unit (9/9):** guard returns exactly the 3 missing modules for edge/central on a bare layout; `[]` for `local` (zero drift) and unknown modes; partial copy reports exactly the forgotten file; `resolveMode` throws on unknown mode.
- **Spawned-child (10/10):** real `custom-server.js` spawned as entrypoint in simulated image layouts. Broken layout: `edge`/`central` exit 1 with FATAL, **never bind a socket**; unknown mode exit 1. Fixed layout (after COPYs): `edge`/`central` boot, `GET /v1 → 200` served by the dynamically-imported federation runtime (`{"handler":"federation","mode":"edge","dataDir":"/app/data/edge",...}`), zero FATAL. `local` on broken layout boots fine (`handler: local`).
- **Image-layout / docker-cp (6/6):** old image (trace only) fails the guard with all 3 modules missing; new image contains `src/lib/federation`, `src/lib/db`, `src/lib/dataDir.js` at the exact loader-resolved paths with intact contents.
Edge cases covered: partial copy, unknown mode, `require()`-for-tests doesn't start a server (`require.main` guard), bind failure is loud, loader throw after green guard is loud. **Total: 25/25, exit code 0.** Full logs: `/workspace/evidence.md`.{"model": "deepseek-v4-flash", "problem_class": "javascript-nextjs-standalone-dynamic-imports", "result": "passed", "tests": 25}
