fix(core): evict the client and server persistent caches together, to avoid a build hang - #13035
Fix the production build hang reproduced in #13034: Rspack hangs forever, and Webpack exits with code 13, when the client compiler's persistent cache is valid but the server compiler's cache was evicted. Since #12781, any Node.js upgrade or a switch to Bun is enough to trigger it.
The server compilation of an MDX file waits for the client compilation of the same file (#10479). The client compiler doesn't run loaders on the modules it restores from its persistent cache, so the server compilation waited forever.
The fix makes sure the client and server caches are always evicted together, so that both compilers either compile the MDX files or restore them:
Both cache versions hash the client and the server targets. Changing the Node.js version or the Browserslist queries evicts both caches.
Both caches have the client and server config files (client.js, server.js) as build dependencies.
The MDX cross-compiler cache keeps compiling each MDX file only once on cold builds.
Trade-off: a Node.js upgrade now also evicts the client cache, for one cold client build.
Test Plan
Unit tests: changing the server target evicts the client cache, changing the client browsers evicts the server cache, and both caches have the same build dependencies. They fail without the fix.
Locally, on the website and on a site with a single MDX doc: builds after changing DOCUSAURUS_SERVER_NODE_TARGET or BROWSERSLIST pass, instead of hanging.
Build caching now responds consistently to changes in client and server build targets and browser support settings. This helps prevent outdated build results from being reused and keeps client and server builds aligned.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
Client and server webpack caches now include both targets in their cache versions and build dependencies. Tests cover cache eviction when either target changes and verify that both caches use equal build dependencies.
Changes: Webpack persistent cache keys

Summary
Include both targets in cache keys packages/docusaurus/src/webpack/base.ts
Each cache version now hashes both client and server targets. Each cache’s build dependencies now include client.js and server.js.
Verify cache eviction and dependencies packages/docusaurus/src/webpack/__tests__/base.test.ts
The test helper exposes cache versions and build dependencies. Tests check eviction when either target changes and verify that client and server caches use equal build dependencies.
The change makes both webpack caches invalidate together when either the client or the server target changes. This is consistent with the stated goal of avoiding the build hang. No actionable merge-blocking risk was found.

Explanation
The title says the fix evicts the client and server persistent caches together to avoid a build hang. The raw summary shows that getCacheVersion and getCacheBuildDependencies now include both client and server targets, and that tests expect server cache eviction when the client Browserslist changes. This matches the main change. The PR objectives describe a different primary fix (an MDXCrossCompilerCachePlugin that stops the hang when only the server cache is invalid). The title covers a real aspect of the change, so the check passes, though it does not name the MDX cross-compiler fix that the objectives describe as the main change.

The client call inserts its cache entry before the server call. This test therefore bypasses the new server-entry identity guard at Line 193.
Add a case that starts the server first, then starts the client, then signals finishMake. Keep the client processor pending with a deferred promise. Check that completion notification does not start another compilation, then resolve the processor and compare both results.
Based on learnings: use a deferred promise to control asynchronous test ordering.

The MDX cross-compiler cache makes the server compilation of an MDX file
wait for its client compilation. When only the server cache was evicted
(a Node.js upgrade, Bun, DOCUSAURUS_SERVER_NODE_TARGET), the client
restored the MDX modules from its cache and the build hung forever.
Both cache versions now hash the client and server targets, and both
caches depend on the client and server config files.
