<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>When applying the <code>llm_support</code> recipe on Drupal 11.4+, <code>recipe:apply</code> fails with a fatal exception:</p>
<pre><pre>In ViewsData.php line 141:<br> A valid cache entry key is required. Use getAll() to get all table data.<br><br>Warning: Undefined array key "field_llms_txt_content_section" in HandlerBase.php on line 829<br>Warning: Trying to access array offset on null in HandlerBase.php on line 829</pre></pre><h4>Root Cause Analysis</h4>
<p>The Drupal Recipe Runner executes in fixed phases (<a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3401925">#3401925</a>):</p>
<ol>
<li>Extension installation (<code>install:</code>)</li>
<li>Configuration import (<code>config.import:</code> and files in recipe's <code>config/</code> directory)</li>
<li>Configuration actions (<code>config.actions:</code>)</li>
</ol>
<p>In <code>recipes/llm_support/recipe.yml</code>:</p>
<ul>
<li>The view configuration <code>views.view.llms_txt_content_sections.yml</code> is imported in Phase 2.</li>
<li>The field storage configuration <code>field.storage.node.field_llms_txt_content_section.yml</code> is also imported in Phase 2.</li>
<li>However, the bundle field instances (<code>field.field.node.*.field_llms_txt_content_section</code>) are created in Phase 3 via the <code>addToAllBundles</code> action.</li>
</ul>
<p>When Views imports <code>views.view.llms_txt_content_sections.yml</code> during Phase 2, it initializes the relationship handler for <code>field_llms_txt_content_section</code>. Because no node bundles have this field attached yet, <code>node__field_llms_txt_content_section</code> table data is absent from Views data. In <code>HandlerBase::getEntityType()</code>, <code>$table_data[$relationship['field']]</code> evaluates to <code>null</code>, causing <code>$this-&gt;getViewsData()-&gt;get(null)</code> to throw an <code>InvalidArgumentException</code>.</p>
<p>With Drupal 11.4's introduction of batched module installation (<a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3478921">#3478921</a>), intermediate container and cache rebuilds between individual module installs no longer happen, making this timing conflict fatal during fresh recipe applications.</p>
<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>Split <code>llm_support</code> into two chained recipes using the <code>recipes:</code> dependency array:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><code>llm_support_fields</code></strong>: Installs <code>node</code>, <code>taxonomy</code>, <code>text</code>, and <code>llms_txt</code>, imports field storage config, and executes <code>addToAllBundles</code> in <code>config.actions</code>.</li>
<li><strong><code>llm_support</code></strong>: Declares <code>llm_support_fields</code> under <code>recipes:</code>, then imports <code>views.view.llms_txt_content_sections.yml</code> and text format configurations.</li>
</ul>
<p>Because Recipe 1 fully completes (including its <code>config.actions</code> phase) before Recipe 2 begins, the field instances are attached to node bundles before Views imports the view configuration.</p>
