Description

Link to the code that reproduces this issue

https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/awesome-fermi-g8x5x2

To Reproduce
  1. Enable dynamicIO
  2. Move the async root layout into a Suspense
  3. Throw an error inside any page component (or use any of notFound, unauthorized, forbidden function)
Current vs. Expected behavior

current: the root layout is not properly loaded, with the following error displayed: 'The following tags are missing in the Root Layout: , .'

expected: it should load the root layout as if it wasn't wrapped inside a Suspense

Additional context

Normally I wouldn't put the root layout inside a Suspense, but it was the only way to silent the error 'A component accessed data, headers, params, searchParams, or a short-lived cache without a Suspense boundary nor a "use cache" above it', caused by having dynamicIO = true.

Research direction

Start with the linked CodeSandbox reproduction and its dynamicIO configuration, then trace how an async root layout behaves when placed inside a Suspense boundary. Exercise the error, notFound, unauthorized, and forbidden cases described in the report. Done means the root layout loads correctly without reporting missing and tags.
