Rsbuild 2.0.7 added output.autoExternal for node environments. With it enabled the default template's server output shrinks from 463 KB to 10 KB, dependencies stay in node_modules, and the built server runs unchanged, which matches React Router's Vite SSR default. Kept opt-in because single-file targets such as Cloudflare Workers rely on bundling. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Documents Rsbuild's built-in
output.autoExternal(2.0.7+) as the way to keep dependencies out of the server bundle on Node hosts. Verified on the default template: server output 463 KB → 10 KB,react-router,react-dom/server,@react-router/node,isbotand friends left external,react-router-serveserves the app unchanged. This matches React Router's Vite SSR default and avoids bundling generated packages like Prisma. Kept opt-in because the Cloudflare example and other single-file targets rely on bundling.Docs only; no changeset.
