Add Inngest as a framework selectable for installation during create.

Adds a new 'workflows' category because Inngest didn't fit cleanly into the others .

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an Inngest workflow add-on for React applications, with a sample event and workflow.
    • Added a development demo for sending events and viewing the resulting event ID.
    • Added an API endpoint for Inngest requests, including support for signed production requests.
    • Added workflow categorization for add-ons.
  • Documentation

    • Added local development and production setup guidance, including environment variables and serverless checkpointing.
    • Clarified that the demo event sender is available only in development.

Walkthrough

Adds a React Inngest add-on with a configured client, typed event and function, API route, demo page, environment template, setup documentation, and workflow category support. It also adds end-to-end tests for development and production behavior.

Changes: Inngest add-on

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add-on registration and Inngest integration
packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/inngest/info.json, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/inngest/package.json, packages/create/src/types.ts, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/inngest/assets/src/inngest/*, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/inngest/assets/src/routes/api/inngest.ts, .changeset/inngest-addon.md
Registers the add-on and demo route, declares the Inngest dependency, permits the workflows category, and adds a project-specific client, typed event and function, and API route. The changeset marks minor releases for @tanstack/cli and @tanstack/create.
Demo route and setup guidance
packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/inngest/assets/src/routes/demo/inngest.tsx, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/inngest/assets/_dot_env.local.append, packages/create/src/frameworks/react/add-ons/inngest/README.md
Adds a demo page that validates and sends an event, then displays its result. The environment template and README describe local setup, production configuration, and usage.
Development and production E2E coverage
packages/cli/tests-e2e/helpers.ts, packages/cli/tests-e2e/inngest-smoke.spec.ts
Adds script selection and environment options to the E2E fixture. Tests check production callback signing and disabled demo sending, plus development event sending.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

jsName "InngestDemo" does not match the exported symbol "Route" in the target file.

The route file exports Route, but jsName is set to "InngestDemo". When templates are generated, this will produce import InngestDemo from '...' which will fail because that export does not exist.

The generated demo exposes a server function that calls inngest.send for any nonempty name. If the app is deployed with an event key, a visitor can trigger workflow runs using that function. Please make the demo sender development-only on the server side, while keeping the signed Inngest callback route available in production. A local fixture can verify both outcomes without sending a real event.

The previous Socket scan resolved Inngest 4.13.0 and flagged a deprecated dependency and an obfuscation warning. The current registry release 4.26.2 no longer declares the deprecated dependency. Please refresh against main and verify the generated dependency graph and fresh Socket results alongside the local build and typecheck.

Add Inngest as a framework selectable for installation during `create`.

Adds a new 'workflows' category because Inngest didn't fit cleanly into
the others .
The demo server function could send events for any visitor once an app was
deployed with an event key. It now rejects sends outside development, while
the signed /api/inngest route keeps serving production.

- Use the current `validator` server function API
- Require inngest ^4.26.2, which drops the deprecated serialize-error-cjs
- Add an e2e smoke test that checks the production build rejects the sender
  and accepts a signed callback, and that development sends reach a local
  mock of the Inngest API

I verified the event URL precedence in the published Inngest 4.26.2 package. The event-specific URL overrides INNGEST_BASE_URL. The fixture inherits process.env and the development test only sets INNGEST_BASE_URL, so an inherited INNGEST_EVENT_API_BASE_URL can bypass the local mock.

Please set INNGEST_EVENT_API_BASE_URL to the mock URL explicitly in both cases and use fixture event/signing keys. Also isolate the API and development server URLs that the SDK can read. Add a negative case with an inherited event-specific URL pointing to a second local sentinel server, then prove it receives no request. This can verify the boundary without contacting a real provider.
