+## Bug Fixes

+Fix `__dirname` and `__filename` being undefined in ESM action bundles by injecting CJS compatibility shims, and ensure each action entry produces a single predictable output file by disabling async chunks.

@@ -1077,6 +1088,8 @@ Resolved questions from initial design:
 | `node:` external type | `node-commonjs` via function external | RegExp external with ESM output resolves builtins as ESM namespace; CJS deps doing `__importDefault(require("node:stream"))` then get a non-callable `.default`, breaking `instanceof`. Function external forces `createRequire(import.meta.url)("node:stream")` which returns real CJS exports. |
 | Externals array form (#81 regression) | Single function replaces function + string array | Leading an `externals` array with a function caused rspack to stop consulting trailing string entries; user-configured string externals were bundled instead of externalized. A single function that handles all cases (`node:` → `node-commonjs`, user strings → default, everything else → bundle) eliminates the fall-through dependency. |
 | `build.ignore` stub mechanism | Throwing `.mjs` stub written to `tmpdir()`, aliased via `resolve.alias` with `$` exact-match suffix | Ignored modules must be removed from the bundle without relying on them being available at runtime (unlike `externals`). A stub that throws gives a clear error message if a module is accidentally loaded. The `$` suffix prevents partial matches (e.g., `foo$` matches `foo` but not `foobar`). `ignore` takes precedence over `externals` — a module in both lists is stubbed. |
+| `__dirname` / `__filename` shims | `tools.rspack.node: { __dirname: "node-module", __filename: "node-module" }` | CJS dependencies that reference these module globals (e.g. `@cyclonedx/cyclonedx-library`) throw `"__dirname is not defined"` when bundled into an ESM output. The `"node-module"` option makes rspack inject shims derived from `import.meta.url`, restoring the expected string values without requiring those deps to be externalized. |
+| `asyncChunks: false` | Set via `tools.rspack.output.asyncChunks: false` | Dynamic `import()` calls in action source would otherwise emit separate numbered chunk files alongside the entry. A committed GitHub Action must be a single self-contained file per entry so `action.yml` can reference a known path. Disabling async chunks folds all dynamically-imported code back into the parent bundle. Tree-shaking is unaffected. |
