Confidence Score: 4/5

The documentation change is safe to merge, with a non-blocking issue in how the example augments pre-existing webpack externals.

The new workaround targets the intended Node builtin imports, but readers with a non-object externals configuration may receive a broken or incomplete merged configuration.

Filename Overview
docs/src/app/(docs)/concepts/theming/page.mdx Adds useful Storybook webpack integration guidance, but its merge pattern does not safely handle all supported existing externals forms.

**Externals merge assumes an object**

If a reader already configures webpack `externals` as an array, function, string, or regular expression, `Object.assign` treats that value as a plain object, which can break existing externalization behavior or fail to apply the documented Node builtin mappings.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

Thanks — fixed in later commits on this branch: externals merge now handles array / existing object / absent, and mappings use the commonjs … form.
