test(core): reproduce the build hang when only the server persistent cache is evicted - #13034
Reproduce a production build hang before fixing it in a stacked PR: #13035.
When the client compiler's persistent cache is valid but the server compiler's cache was evicted, docusaurus build hangs forever with Rspack. With Webpack, Node exits with code 13 (Detected unsettled top-level await).
That's the case whenever only the server target changes: a Node.js upgrade, a switch to Bun, or DOCUSAURUS_SERVER_NODE_TARGET. Since #12781, the server target is the exact current Node.js version, so any Node.js patch upgrade triggers it.
Cause: the mdx-loader cross-compiler cache (#10479) makes the server compilation of an MDX file wait for the client compilation of the same file. When the client compiler restores that module from its persistent cache, its loader never runs, so the server compilation waits forever.
This PR adds a unit test capturing the current behavior: the client cache is kept when only the server Node.js target changes. #13035 flips it.
Workaround until the fix: docusaurus clear, or DOCUSAURUS_NO_MDX_CROSS_COMPILER_CACHE=true.
Test Plan
Unit test.
An earlier version of this PR proved the hang with a CI workflow: the website built with a cold cache, then a second build with another DOCUSAURUS_SERVER_NODE_TARGEThung until its 5-minute timeout. The unit test replaced that workflow, to avoid running an extra website build on every PR.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title names a test-only change (test(core)) and says it reproduces a build hang when only the server persistent cache is evicted. The raw summary describes a unit test in base.test.ts that asserts changing DOCUSAURUS_SERVER_NODE_TARGET leaves the client cache version unchanged, which complements the existing server-cache eviction test. The objectives describe a reproduction of a hang when only the server cache is invalid. The title is related to the changeset. It is not fully aligned, because the summary describes the assertion that the client cache stays unchanged, not a hang reproduction. The title therefore reflects the purpose from the objectives more than the test content in the summary. This makes the title a partial match, not a clear fail. The title is specific and is not vague.

A cache version test captures the cause of the hang (the client cache is
kept when only the server target changes), without an extra CI workflow.

Add a build-level regression for the hang.
This assertion passes whether the second build hangs or completes. Add a bounded build-level test that warms both caches, changes the server target, and checks that the next build completes. That test can detect a regression in the reported failure path.

Replace or supplement the `oldNodeVersion`/`newNodeVersion` assertion with a bounded build-level regression test that warms both caches, changes the server target, and verifies the subsequent build completes within a finite timeout. Use the existing test setup and build entry points rather than relying on version equality alone.
