• Provide comprehensive feedback

🔍 Summary

This PR appears to be a work-in-progress fix for local development issues in the Next.js example. The main change is disabling the RivetKit actor system in favor of a simple stub implementation while development issues are resolved.

🚨 Critical Issues

1. Incomplete Implementation - packages/next-js/src/mod.ts:16-29

The core RivetKit functionality has been completely commented out and replaced with a stub that returns "ok" for all requests:

// const { fetch } = registry.start(inputConfig);
// ... all actual logic commented out
return new Response("ok"); // Stub response

Impact: This breaks all RivetKit functionality in Next.js applications.

2. Debugging Code Left in Production - Multiple Files

Several files contain debugging console.log statements:

• examples/next-js/src/app/api/counter/route.ts:5 - console.log("=== LOAD ROUTE ===")
• packages/next-js/src/mod.ts:7 - console.log("=== CREATE NEXT HANDLER ===")

Impact: These will spam logs in production environments.

3. Global State Pattern Issues - examples/next-js/src/lib/counter.ts & rivet-server.ts

Both files use a global caching pattern that could cause issues:

export const counter = global._counter ?? { value: 0 };
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
    global._counter = counter;
}

Issues:

• No proper cleanup between requests in development
• Race conditions possible in concurrent environments
• Memory leaks in long-running processes

⚠️ Code Quality Issues

4. Type Safety - examples/next-js/src/lib/rivet-server.ts:6

var _handlers: { value: any } | undefined;

Using any type defeats TypeScript's benefits. Should be properly typed.

5. Error Handling - examples/next-js/src/app/api/counter/route.ts:12

const body = await req.json().catch(() => ({}));

Silent error swallowing makes debugging difficult. Should log the error or handle it explicitly.

6. Input Validation - examples/next-js/src/app/api/counter/route.ts:13-14

const by = Number(body?.by ?? 1);
counter.value += Number.isFinite(by) ? by : 1;

No validation for reasonable bounds. Users could pass Infinity or extremely large numbers.

🔧 Architecture Concerns

7. Mixed Paradigms

The PR mixes two different approaches:

• Traditional Next.js API routes (/api/counter)
• RivetKit actor system (disabled but still referenced)

This creates confusion about the intended architecture.

8. Resource Management

In packages/next-js/src/mod.ts:10-11, there are commented lines:

inputConfig.disableDefaultServer = true;
// inputConfig.disableActorDriver = true;

The inconsistent commenting suggests uncertainty about the correct configuration.

🎯 Recommendations

Immediate Actions (Before Merge)

1. Remove debugging logs from production code
2. Add TODO comments explaining why RivetKit is disabled
3. Implement proper error handling in counter route
4. Add input validation with reasonable bounds
5. Fix TypeScript types (remove any)

Follow-up Work

1. Re-enable RivetKit functionality once underlying issues are resolved
2. Add proper cleanup for global state in development
3. Consider using Next.js app directory state management instead of global variables
4. Add tests for the counter functionality
5. Add rate limiting to prevent abuse

🧪 Test Coverage

Missing: No tests were added for the new counter functionality. Consider adding:

• Unit tests for counter logic
• Integration tests for API routes
• Tests for global state management

📋 Next Steps

This appears to be a temporary workaround. Before merging, please:

1. Add a clear comment explaining this is a temporary fix
2. Create follow-up issues for re-enabling RivetKit
3. Address the debugging code and type safety issues
4. Consider if this stub approach is the right solution

🔒 Security Assessment

Low Risk: The code doesn't introduce significant security vulnerabilities, but the lack of input validation in the counter route could be problematic at scale.

• Provide comprehensive feedback

🔍 Summary

This PR appears to be a work-in-progress fix for local development issues in the Next.js example. The main changes include:

• Moving from direct RivetKit integration to a cached global registry approach
• Adding a new counter API route with global state management
• Adding debugging console.log statements
• Introducing global caching patterns for development hot reloads

🚨 Critical Issues

1. Debugging Code Left in Production - Multiple Files

Several files contain debugging console.log statements that will spam logs in production:

• examples/next-js/src/app/api/counter/route.ts:5 - console.log("=== LOAD ROUTE ===")
• packages/next-js/src/mod.ts:11 - console.log("=== CREATE NEXT HANDLER ===")
• packages/next-js/src/mod.ts:33 - console.log("=== CREATE REGISTRY INSTANCE ===")

Impact: These will create excessive log noise in production environments.

2. Type Safety Issues - examples/next-js/src/lib/rivet-server.ts:6

var _handlers: { value: any } | undefined;

Using any type defeats TypeScript's benefits and should be properly typed according to the project's CLAUDE.md guidelines.

3. Error Handling Issues - examples/next-js/src/app/api/counter/route.ts:12

const body = await req.json().catch(() => ({}));

Silent error swallowing makes debugging difficult. The project guidelines prefer structured error handling with the error classes in packages/rivetkit/src/actor/errors.ts.

⚠️ Code Quality Issues

4. Input Validation - examples/next-js/src/app/api/counter/route.ts:13-14

const by = Number(body?.by ?? 1);
counter.value += Number.isFinite(by) ? by : 1;

No validation for reasonable bounds. Users could potentially pass extremely large numbers that could cause issues.

5. Global State Pattern - Multiple Files

Both counter.ts and rivet-server.ts use a global caching pattern:

export const counter = global._counter ?? { value: 0 };
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
    global._counter = counter;
}

Concerns:

• No proper cleanup mechanism between requests in development
• Potential race conditions in concurrent environments
• Memory leaks in long-running processes
• Mixed patterns across the codebase

6. Inconsistent Configuration - packages/next-js/src/mod.ts:14-15

inputConfig.disableDefaultServer = true;
// inputConfig.disableActorDriver = true;

The commented line suggests uncertainty about the correct configuration approach.

🔧 Architecture Concerns

7. Complex Global Registry Management

The PR introduces a sophisticated global registry caching system in packages/next-js/src/mod.ts:24-41 that adds complexity without clear documentation of the trade-offs.

8. Mixed Paradigms

The changes introduce traditional Next.js API routes (/api/counter) alongside the RivetKit actor system, creating architectural inconsistency.

🎯 Recommendations

Immediate Actions (Before Merge)

1. Remove all debugging console.log statements from production code
2. Fix TypeScript types - replace any with proper types
3. Implement proper error handling using the project's error classes
4. Add input validation with reasonable bounds for counter values
5. Add clear documentation explaining the global caching approach and why it's necessary

Code Quality Improvements

1. Consistent error handling: Use throw new UserError() or similar from the project's error system instead of silent catches
2. Structured logging: Replace console.log with logger().debug() per project guidelines
3. Type safety: Define proper interfaces for all global state objects

Follow-up Work

1. Add tests for the new counter functionality
2. Consider cleanup mechanisms for global state in development
3. Evaluate if the global caching approach is the best solution for Next.js hot reload issues
4. Add rate limiting to prevent counter abuse

🧪 Test Coverage

Missing: No tests were added for the new counter functionality or the global registry caching behavior. Consider adding:

• Unit tests for counter logic
• Integration tests for API routes
• Tests for global state management across hot reloads

📋 Adherence to Project Guidelines

Issues Found:

• ❌ Console.log usage violates project preference for logger() calls
• ❌ Silent error catching violates structured error handling guidelines
• ❌ any types violate TypeScript strict guidelines
• ❌ Missing structured logging format

Good Practices:

• ✅ Uses camelCase naming conventions
• ✅ Proper imports from workspace packages
• ✅ Follows existing file structure patterns

🔒 Security Assessment

Low Risk: The code doesn't introduce significant security vulnerabilities, but the lack of input validation in the counter route could be problematic at scale.

🚀 Performance Considerations

The global registry caching should improve performance by preventing re-initialization on hot reloads, but the implementation needs proper documentation to understand the memory implications.

---
