    Thanks for the clear steps. This is navigating normally in the current site checks. If it still freezes for you, could you share your browser/version and confirm whether the React card still triggers it? I'll leave this open for three days for corrections to the reproduction.

    AI review notes:
    Tested the reported /router/latest/docs/framework page in fresh headless Firefox and Chromium sessions on macOS. In each session, hovered the React card link, hovered and clicked its Full install instructions link, then waited for the Quick Start heading to render. Both reached /router/latest/docs/quick-start with the Quick Start title and content, without a captured page error. These checks used actual pointer hover, not just clicking or changing the URL.

    This does not rule out a browser/version-specific or intermittent freeze. No code change was made for this report.

    One correction to the follow-up above: this already has a previously reproduced failure and a proposed fix in #1010, so it should stay open while that fix is pending. The three-day inactivity deadline does not apply here.

    AI review notes:
    The earlier reproduction and canonical-link diagnosis are recorded in #1010. Today's successful Firefox and Chromium checks do not invalidate that evidence. PR #1010 still lacks passing application CI on its current head, so it has not been merged or verified in production.

    This is fixed and live now, thanks for the report! Closing this with #1010. Please reopen or send a fresh reproduction if you still see the freeze.

    AI review notes:
    On the production frameworks page, hovered and followed the React installation link in Chromium and the Solid installation link in Firefox. Both reached the canonical Quick Start page without captured page errors. The checks used clean headless browser sessions, not every browser or input configuration.
