forgot upsertRow/insertArrays

This PR introduces a few changes to improve turbopack compatibility and
ensure e2e tests pass with turbopack enabled

## Changes to improve turbopack compatibility
- Use correct sideEffects configuration to fix scss issues
- Import scss directly instead of duplicating our scss rules
- Fix some scss rules that are not supported by turbopack
- Bump Next.js and all other dependencies used to build payload

## Changes to get tests to pass

For an unknown reason, flaky tests flake a lot more often in turbopack.
This PR does the following to get them to pass:
- add more `wait`s
- fix actual flakes by ensuring previous operations are properly awaited

## Blocking turbopack bugs
- [X] https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/76464
  - Fix PR: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pull/76545
  - Once fixed: change `"sideEffectsDisabled":` back to `"sideEffects":`

 The Preview feature can be used to achieve "Draft Preview". After clicking the preview button from the Admin Panel, you can enter into "draft mode" within your front-end application. This will allow you to adjust your page queries to include the `draft: true` param. When this param is present on the request, Payload will send back a draft document as opposed to a published one based on the document's `_status` field.

+The `beforeDocumentControls` property allows you to render custom components just before the default document action buttons (like Save, Publish, or Preview). This is useful for injecting custom buttons, status indicators, or any other UI elements before the built-in controls.

+To add `beforeDocumentControls` components, use the `components.edit.beforeDocumentControls` property in you [Collection Config](../configuration/collections) or `components.elements.beforeDocumentControls` in your [Global Config](../configuration/globals):

 In relational databases, migrations will be **required** for non-development database environments. But with MongoDB, you might only need to run migrations once in a while (or never even need them).
 
-#### MongoDB
+#### MongoDB#mongodb-migrations
 
 In MongoDB, you'll only ever really need to run migrations for times where you change your database shape, and you have lots of existing data that you'd like to transform from Shape A to Shape B.
 
 In this case, you can create a migration by running `pnpm payload migrate:create`, and then write the logic that you need to perform to migrate your documents to their new shape. You can then either run your migrations in CI before you build / deploy, or you can run them locally, against your production database, by using your production database connection string on your local computer and running the `pnpm payload migrate` command.

+## Environment-Specific Configurations and Migrations
+
+Your configuration may include environment-specific settings (e.g., enabling a plugin only in production). If you generate migrations without considering the environment, it can lead to discrepancies and issues. When running migrations locally, Payload uses the development environment, which might miss production-specific configurations. Similarly, running migrations in production could miss development-specific entities.
+
+This is an easy oversight, so be mindful of any environment-specific logic in your config when handling migrations.
+
+**Ways to address this:**
+
+- Manually update your migration file after it is generated to include any environment-specific configurations.
+- Temporarily enable any required production environment variables in your local setup when generating the migration to capture the necessary updates.
+- Use separate migration files for each environment to ensure the correct migration is executed in the corresponding environment.

+### Linking virtual fields with relationships
+
+You can link virtual fields to fields in other collections through a relationship (or upload) field, for example:
+
+```ts
+{
+  collections: [
+    {
+      slug: 'categories',
+      fields: [
+        {
+          name: 'title',
+          type: 'text',
+        },
+      ],
+    },
+    {
+      slug: 'posts',
+      fields: [
+        {
+          type: 'relationship',
+          name: 'category',
+          relationTo: 'categories',
+        },
+        {
+          type: 'text',
+          name: 'categoryTitle',
+          virtual: 'category.title',
+        },
+      ],
+    },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+Here, `categoryTitle` will _always_ be populated with the corresponding value, even if the current `depth` is `0`, You can also query and sort by this field.
+The relationship must not be `hasMany: true` or polymorphic.
+The path can be deeply nested into 2 or more relationship fields, for example `post.category.title` as long as all the relationship fields meet the above requirement.

+### filterOptions
+
+Used to dynamically filter which options are available based on the current user, document data, or other criteria.
+
+Some examples of this might include:
+
+- Restricting options based on a user's role, e.g. admin-only options
+- Displaying different options based on the value of another field, e.g. a city/state selector
+
+The result of `filterOptions` will determine:
+
+- Which options are displayed in the Admin Panel
+- Which options can be saved to the database
+
+To do this, use the `filterOptions` property in your [Field Config](./overview):
+
+```ts
+import type { Field } from 'payload'
+
+export const MySelectField: Field = {
+  // ...
+  // highlight-start
+  type: 'select',
+  options: [
+    {

+      value: 'one',
+    },
+    {

+      value: 'two',
+    },
+    {
+      label: 'Three',
+      value: 'three',
+    },
+  ],
+  filterOptions: ({ options, data }) =>
+    data.disallowOption1
+      ? options.filter(
+          (option) =>
+            (typeof option === 'string' ? options : option.value) !== 'one',
+        )
+      : options,
+  // highlight-end
+}
+```

+<Banner type="warning">
+  **Note:** This property is similar to `filterOptions` in

+  return value of this function is simply an array of options, not a query

+Folders allow you to group documents across collections, and are a great way to organize your content. Folders are built on top of relationship fields, when you enable folders on a collection, Payload adds a hidden relationship field `folders`, that relates to a folder — or no folder. Folders also have the `folder` field, allowing folders to be nested within other folders.
+
+The configuration for folders is done in two places, the collection config and the Payload config. The collection config is where you enable folders, and the Payload config is where you configure the global folder settings.
+
+<Banner type="warning">
+  **Note:** The Folders feature is currently in beta and may be subject to
+  change in minor versions updates prior to being stable.
+</Banner>
+
+## Folder Configuration
+
+On the payload config, you can configure the following settings under the `folders` property:
+
+```ts
+// Type definition
+
+type RootFoldersConfiguration = {
+  /**
+   * An array of functions to be ran when the folder collection is initialized
+   * This allows plugins to modify the collection configuration
+   */
+  collectionOverrides?: (({

+  }) => CollectionConfig | Promise<CollectionConfig>)[]
+  /**

+  debug?: boolean
+  /**

+   *
+   * @default "folder"
+   */
+  fieldName?: string
+  /**
+   * Slug for the folder collection
+   *
+   * @default "payload-folders"
+   */
+  slug?: string
+}
+```
+
+```ts
+// Example usage
+
+import { buildConfig } from 'payload'
+
+const config = buildConfig({
+  // ...
+  folders: {
+    // highlight-start
+    debug: true, // optional
+    collectionOverrides: [

+    ], // optional
+    fieldName: 'folder', // optional
+    slug: 'payload-folders', // optional
+    // highlight-end
+  },
+})
+```
+
+## Collection Configuration
+
+To enable folders on a collection, you need to set the `admin.folders` property to `true` on the collection config. This will add a hidden relationship field to the collection that relates to a folder — or no folder.
+
+```ts
+// Type definition
+

-# **Using Local API Operations with Server Functions**
-
 In Next.js, **server functions** (previously called **server actions**) are special functions that run exclusively on the server, enabling secure backend logic execution while being callable from the frontend. These functions bridge the gap between client and server, allowing frontend components to perform backend operations without exposing sensitive logic.
 
-### **Why Use Server Functions?**
+### Why Use Server Functions?
 
 - **Executing Backend Logic from the Frontend**: The Local API is designed for server environments and cannot be directly accessed from client-side code. Server functions enable frontend components to trigger backend operations securely.
 - **Security Benefits**: Instead of exposing a full REST or GraphQL API, server functions restrict access to only the necessary operations, reducing potential security risks.
 - **Performance Optimizations**: Next.js handles server functions efficiently, offering benefits like caching, optimized database queries, and reduced network overhead compared to traditional API calls.
 - **Simplified Development Workflow**: Rather than setting up full API routes with authentication and authorization checks, server functions allow for lightweight, direct execution of necessary operations.
 
-### **When to Use Server Functions**
+### When to Use Server Functions
 
 Use server functions whenever you need to call Local API operations from the frontend. Since the Local API is only accessible from the backend, server functions act as a secure bridge, eliminating the need to expose additional API endpoints.
 
-## **Examples: Using Local API from Server Functions**
+## Examples
 
 All Local API operations can be used within server functions, allowing you to interact with Payload's backend securely.

-## **Reusable Payload Server Functions**
+## Reusable Payload Server Functions
 
-Coming soon…
+Managing authentication with the Local API can be tricky as you have to handle cookies and tokens yourself, and there aren't built-in logout or refresh functions since these only modify cookies. To make this easier, we provide `login`, `logout`, and `refresh` as ready-to-use server functions. They take care of the underlying complexity so you don't have to.
 
-## **Error Handling in Server Functions**
+### Login
+
+Logs in a user by verifying credentials and setting the authentication cookie. This function allows login via username or email, depending on the collection auth configuration.
+
+#### Importing the `login` function
+
+```ts
+import { login } from '@payloadcms/next/auth'
+```
+
+The login function needs your Payload config, which cannot be imported in a client component. To work around this, create a simple server function like the one below, and call it from your client.
+
+```ts
+'use server'
+
+import { login } from '@payloadcms/next/auth'
+import config from '@payload-config'
+
+export async function loginAction({
+  email,
+  password,
+}: {
+  email: string
+  password: string
+}) {
+  try {
+    const result = await login({
+      collection: 'users',
+      config,
+      email,
+      password,
+    })
+    return result
+  } catch (error) {
+    throw new Error(
+      `Login failed: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`,
+    )
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Login from the React Client Component
+
+```tsx
+'use client'
+
+import { useState } from 'react'
+import { loginAction } from '../loginAction'
+
+export default function LoginForm() {
+  const [email, setEmail] = useState<string>('')
+  const [password, setPassword] = useState<string>('')
+
+  return (
+    <form onSubmit={() => loginAction({ email, password })}>
+      <label htmlFor="email">Email</label>
+      <input
+        id="email"
+        onChange={(e: ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) =>
+          setEmail(e.target.value)
+        }
+        type="email"
+        value={email}
+      />
+      <label htmlFor="password">Password</label>
+      <input
+        id="password"
+        onChange={(e: ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) =>
+          setPassword(e.target.value)
+        }
+        type="password"
+        value={password}
+      />
+      <button type="submit">Login</button>
+    </form>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+### Logout
+
+Logs out the current user by clearing the authentication cookie.
+
+#### Importing the `logout` function
+
+```ts
+import { logout } from '@payloadcms/next/auth'
+```
+
+Similar to the login function, you now need to pass your Payload config to this function and this cannot be done in a client component. Use a helper server function as shown below.
+
+```ts
+'use server'
+
+import { logout } from '@payloadcms/next/auth'
+import config from '@payload-config'
+
+export async function logoutAction() {
+  try {
+    return await logout({ config })
+  } catch (error) {
+    throw new Error(
+      `Logout failed: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`,
+    )
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Logout from the React Client Component
+
+```tsx
+'use client'
+
+import { logoutAction } from '../logoutAction'
+
+export default function LogoutButton() {
+  return <button onClick={() => logoutFunction()}>Logout</button>
+}
+```
+
+### Refresh
+
+Refreshes the authentication token for the logged-in user.
+
+#### Importing the `refresh` function
+
+```ts
+import { refresh } from '@payloadcms/next/auth'
+```
+
+As with login and logout, you need to pass your Payload config to this function. Create a helper server function like the one below. Passing the config directly to the client is not possible and will throw errors.
+
+```ts
+'use server'
+
+import { refresh } from '@payloadcms/next/auth'
+import config from '@payload-config'
+
+export async function refreshAction() {
+  try {
+    return await refresh({
+      collection: 'users', // pass your collection slug

+# Building without a DB connection
+
+One of the most common problems when building a site for production, especially with Docker - is the DB connection requirement.
+
+The important note is that Payload by itself does not have this requirement, But [Next.js' SSG ](https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/rendering/static-site-generation) does if any of your route segments have SSG enabled (which is default, unless you opted out or used a [Dynamic API](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/deep-dive/caching#dynamic-apis)) and use the Payload Local API.
+
+Solutions:
+
+## Using the experimental-build-mode Next.js build flag
+
+You can run Next.js build using the `pnpx next build --experimental-build-mode compile` command to only compile the code without static generation, which does not require a DB connection. In that case, your pages will be rendered dynamically, but after that, you can still generate static pages using the `pnpx next build --experimental-build-mode generate` command when you have a DB connection.
+
+[Next.js documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/api-reference/cli/next#next-build-options)
+
+## Opting-out of SSG
+
+You can opt out of SSG by adding this all the route segment files:
+
+```ts
+export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'
+```
+
+**Note that it will disable static optimization and your site will be slower**.

+Using the REST populate function will send a separate request for each node. If you need to populate a large number of nodes, this may be slow. For improved performance on the server, you can use the `getPayloadPopulateFn` function:
 
-To automatically generate HTML from the saved richText field in your Collection, use the `lexicalHTMLField()` helper. This approach converts the JSON to HTML using an `afterRead` hook. For instance:
+```tsx
+import type { SerializedEditorState } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical/lexical'
+
+import { getPayloadPopulateFn } from '@payloadcms/richtext-lexical'

+### HTML field
+
+The `lexicalHTMLField()` helper converts JSON to HTML and saves it in a field that is updated every time you read it via an `afterRead` hook. It's generally not recommended for two reasons:
+
+1. It creates a column with duplicate content in another format.
+2. In [client-side live preview](/docs/live-preview/client), it makes it not "live".
+
+Consider using the [on-demand HTML converter above](/docs/rich-text/converting-html#on-demand-recommended) or the [JSX converter](/docs/rich-text/converting-jsx) unless you have a good reason.

-### Generating HTML in Your Frontend with Dynamic Population (Advanced)

+| **`FixedToolbarFeature`**           | No                  | This classic toolbar is pinned to the top and always visible. Both inline and fixed toolbars can be enabled at the same time.                                                       |

+| **`TreeViewFeature`**               | No                  | Adds a debug box under the editor, which allows you to see the current editor state live, the dom, as well as time travel. Very useful for debugging                                |
+| **`EXPERIMENTAL_TableFeature`**     | No                  | Adds support for tables. This feature may be removed or receive breaking changes in the future - even within a stable lexical release, without needing a major release.             |
+| **`EXPERIMENTAL_TextStateFeature`** | No                  | Allows you to store key-value attributes within TextNodes and assign them inline styles.                                                                                            |
 
 Notice how even the toolbars are features? That's how extensible our lexical editor is - you could theoretically create your own toolbar if you wanted to!
