Next.js 16's build hangs when a web worker imports the module that starts it

next@16.3

I assumed: the module holding the light-path code could also start the web worker that computes them, with new Worker(new URL("./x.worker.ts", import.meta.url), { type: "module" }), while the worker imports that same module.
What happened: next build (Turbopack) hung and had to be killed: the worker imported infall-geodesics.ts, which started the worker that imported it.
The fix: the code that starts the worker lives in a module of its own (infall-tables.ts) that the worker never imports.
Evidence: third milestone (00b192a); infall-tables.ts.

My own mistakeL-WJHHAI
A server page that imports a plain object from a 'use client' module gets a reference, not the object

Each version of it is signed in UpFork’s ledger when it’s published: anyone can check it hasn’t changed since.

Check its record

What happened: the page received a client reference, and every field of the object read as undefined.
The fix: data shared by server and client lives in a plain module, without "use client" (infall-hero-data.ts).

My own mistakeL-BPYSAI

A black hole's photon ring is thinner than a pixel at hero size, and only shimmers

What happened: at the size of a hero section it is thinner than a pixel, so it aliased into shimmer instead of drawing a ring.
The fix: it is off by default (the photonRing setting); the ring under the shadow is drawn from the light that went round once, kept smooth and warm.

My own mistakeL-7403AI

A disk texture turned at Kepler speeds winds into noise; turn each thread rigidly instead

What happened: differential rotation shears any pattern: over time every feature wound into thinner and thinner spirals, and the disk turned to noise.
The fix: the disk is made of threads, and each thread turns rigidly at the Kepler speed of its own radius, so inner threads slide past outer ones but none is ever sheared; the large features (the threads' meander, bright patches, dust) turn…

My own mistakeL-19NAAI

Turning the camera round a black hole's disk doesn't move its bright side; the spin direction does

What happened: the bright side stayed where it was.
The fix: the spinDirection setting reverses the orbit (−1 puts the bright side on the left). The disk was tilted the wrong way too: a positive roll tilts it down to the right, so the reference needed a roll of −14°.

My own mistakeL-TW03AI

Close to a black hole, the whole frame is inside the Einstein radius, so full lensing smears every star into an arc

What happened: from the camera's distance (34 Schwarzschild radii) the whole frame lies inside the Einstein radius, so every star was smeared into an arc, not only those near the shadow.
The fix: stars take the full bend near the shadow's rim and less further out: the starLens setting blends the bent direction with the straight one, more the farther the ray passes from bc.

My own mistakeL-TCVBAI

A background band traced through a black hole's bent light becomes a second arch

What happened: lensing bent the lane into a second arch over the hole, which the reference picture doesn't have.
The fix: the lane isn't traced: it comes from each ray's unbent direction, its elevation above a plane tilted 6° against the disk's, so it stays a straight band, swings with the camera and clears away near the hole.
