Fix CSS import queries (?url, ?inline, ?raw) being incorrectly collected in RSC plugin

[Copilot]

Problem

CSS imports with special queries like ?url, ?inline, and ?raw were being incorrectly included in CSS collection for server-side rendering in the RSC plugin. These queries transform CSS imports to return different data types rather than actual CSS that should be linked in documents.

// These should NOT be collected for CSS linking:
import cssUrl from './style.css?url'     // Returns URL string
import cssInline from './style.css?inline' // Returns CSS as string
import cssRaw from './style.css?raw'     // Returns raw CSS content

// This SHOULD be collected:
import './style.css'  // Normal CSS import for linking

Solution

Modified the collectCss function in packages/plugin-rsc/src/plugin.ts to filter out CSS imports with special queries:

• Added hasSpecialCssQuery() helper function that detects imports with ?url, ?inline, or ?raw queries
• Updated the CSS collection condition from:

  if (isCSSRequest(next.id)) {
    cssIds.add(next.id)
  }

  to:

  if (isCSSRequest(next.id) && !hasSpecialCssQuery(next.id)) {
    cssIds.add(next.id)
  }

Implementation Details

• Uses robust URL parsing with string matching fallback for edge cases
• Handles complex URLs with multiple parameters correctly
• Maintains full backward compatibility for normal CSS imports
• Minimal change: only 13 lines of code added

Testing

• Added comprehensive unit tests covering all edge cases
• All existing tests continue to pass
• Manual validation confirms correct behavior:
  • ✅ Normal CSS imports are still collected
  • ✅ CSS imports with special queries are properly excluded

This aligns with standard practices used by other frameworks like SvelteKit and ensures CSS collection works correctly for RSC server-side rendering.

Fixes #571.

remove trivial unit tests. add e2e instead by updating examples/basic and e2e/basic.test.ts.

[Copilot]

Done! I've removed the trivial unit tests and replaced them with e2e tests. Added CSS query test components to examples/basic and comprehensive e2e tests in basic.test.ts that verify both the functional behavior and SSR CSS collection. (0f6af41)

add test for server component too

[Copilot]

Added server component test! Created TestCssQueriesServer component in server.tsx that tests the same CSS import scenarios as the client component. Also updated the e2e tests to verify both client and server component behavior. (8e97c2b)

I also tested Claude code and it was easier to iterate. Closing in favor of #580
