## Current Behavior
The remaining 11 first-party Nx plugins (`@nx/webpack`, `@nx/rollup`,
`@nx/docker`, `@nx/gradle`, `@nx/rsbuild`, `@nx/web`, `@nx/node`,
`@nx/nest`, `@nx/module-federation`, `@nx/rspack`, `@nx/storybook`)
build into `../../dist/packages/<name>/` with `module: commonjs` and no
`exports` map. Releases publish from a separate dist directory.
That layout has the same drawbacks the prior migrations (devkit,
workspace, nx, js, jest, eslint, eslint-plugin, vitest, cypress,
playwright, vite) already addressed:
- workspace consumers reach into `@nx/<name>/src/*` against the old
layout, blocking nodenext / ESM-friendlier resolution
- a single PR cannot publish a coordinated set because each package's
dist must round-trip through `nx release`
- `release.preserveLocalDependencyProtocols` cannot be turned on
workspace-wide
This PR is the final batch in the "Nx Local Dist Migration" project — it
unblocks every still-unmigrated workspace package and finishes the
rollout that started with `@nx/devkit` in #34946.
## Expected Behavior
All 11 packages build to `packages/<name>/dist/` with:
- `tsconfig.lib.json` set to `module: nodenext`, `moduleResolution:
nodenext`, `composite: true`, `outDir: dist`, `declarationDir: dist`,
`tsBuildInfoFile: dist/tsconfig.tsbuildinfo`
- `package.json` `main`/`types` pointing into `dist/`, an `exports` map
with `@nx/nx-source`/`types`/`default` conditions, `typesVersions` for
legacy `moduleResolution: node` consumers, and a `files` allowlist
- `project.json` `release.version.preserveLocalDependencyProtocols:
true`, `manifestRootsToUpdate: ["packages/{projectName}"]`, and
`nx-release-publish.packageRoot: packages/{projectName}`
- `assets.json` `outDir` and eslint `dist` ignore updated
- `src/utils/versions.ts` switched to `require(join('@nx/<name>',
'package.json')).version` so the self-reference survives the new layout
- `README.md` renamed to `readme-template.md` with the build's
`copy-readme.js` invocation passing explicit src/dest paths, and root
`.gitignore` updated for the generated `README.md`
- `scripts/nx-release.ts` `packagesToReset` extended so `nx release`
properly snapshots/restores these source `package.json`s
The 11 packages keep the `./src/*` wildcard in their exports map for now
— the `@nx/devkit/internal`-style lockdown (Step 14b of the
`dist-build-migration` skill) is intentionally deferred to per-package
follow-up PRs to keep this one focused on the layout move. Two runtime
fixes that mirror earlier work in this project:
- `@nx/node` now declares `@nx/webpack` as a `workspace:*` devDep so its
TS compile resolves `@nx/webpack/src/utils/ensure-dependencies` via the
new exports map; the dynamic `import()` of that subpath was swapped to
`require()` after `ensurePackage` so the temp install is visible (same
pattern as the vite/vitest fix in #35743 — under `module: nodenext` a
dynamic `import()` is preserved as a true ESM import and bypasses
`Module._initPaths`).
- `@nx/web` had two dynamic `await import('@nx/eslint/internal')` /
`await import('@nx/vitest/generators')` call sites; both swapped to
`require()` with `typeof import(...)` type annotations for the same
reason.
`e2e/nx-build/src/nx-build.test.ts` was extended to verify the new
output paths for all 11 packages.
