Summary

Root cause: Router's Quick Start doc is canonical and not split per framework, so installPath: 'framework/$framework/quick-start' pointed FrameworkCard's link at a doc that doesn't exist. The docs loader redirected away from it, and that redirect firing on hover/preload is what froze the page.

Fix: point installPath at the canonical quick-start doc instead of disabling preload. Added focused test coverage on the emitted install href per review feedback.

Closes #1001

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Router installation links now point to the framework-independent quick-start documentation path across supported frameworks, instead of using framework-specific path segments. This provides a consistent destination for installation guidance.
  • Tests
    • Added checks that each supported framework uses the quick-start path and that installation documentation links have no framework-specific hash.

Walkthrough

The router install documentation path changes from a framework-specific path to quick-start. The router project removes its explicit path override. Tests check the generated path and hash for every supported framework.

Changes: Router install path

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update and validate router install paths
src/libraries/libraries.ts, src/libraries/router.tsx, tests/router-install-path.test.ts
The router uses quick-start without a framework prefix. The project-level path override is removed. Tests check the path and confirm that the hash is undefined for every framework.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Low · up to a3051

The links currently point to the intended documentation page. Adding a rendered-link test would better protect the hover fix; the remaining risk is bounded.

Explanation

[#1001] The reported freeze occurs when hovering a React or Solid card and preloading the framework-specific Quick Start link. At the reviewed head, router.installPath in src/libraries/libraries.ts is 'quick-start', the canonical Router path. The previous value framework/$framework/quick-start is removed from routerProject in src/libraries/router.tsx (whole-PR diff against the merge base: -1 line). routerProject spreads ...router, so it inherits installPath: 'quick-start'. The emitted install target no longer points to the nonexistent per-framework path that triggers the docs redirect. Preload is not disabled, which matches the linked issue and the PR objectives. The summary states that tests/router-install-path.test.ts checks, for each entry in router.frameworks, that the install path is quick-start, does not start with framework/, and has an undefined hash. I did not read the test file directly. The reported local browser check (headless Chromium and Firefox) is supporting evidence only and is not verified here. The code change addresses the requirement. Remaining uncertainty: the test file contents and the browser results were not independently inspected in this review.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR changes are limited to three areas: (1) src/libraries/libraries.ts, which sets the Router installPath to quick-start (+1/-1); (2) src/libraries/router.tsx, which removes the framework/$framework/quick-start override from routerProject (-1 line); and (3) tests/router-install-path.test.ts, which adds tests for the emitted Router install path and hash (+29 lines). The diff for router.tsx confirms only the single removed line. All changes relate directly to the install href that the linked issue #1001 describes. No unrelated product behavior, preload setting, or other library configuration appears in the reviewed evidence. The libraries.ts diff could not be read as text, but the head file content confirms the changed value. The test file was not read directly; its scope is taken from the summary.

I reproduced the production freeze today, but preload={false} only avoids the redirect during hover. The card currently builds /router/latest/docs/framework/{framework}/quick-start from the Router installPath. The Router library beforeLoad then always redirects every non-example framework guide to /router/latest/docs/quick-start. Opening that canonical path directly is responsive and lands on the same page. Please point the Router installPath at quick-start instead of disabling preloading on both links, add focused coverage for the emitted Router install href, and update the PR to close #1001. This preserves intent preloading and removes the unnecessary client redirect. I also checked #990 and #866 so this direction keeps the earlier quick-start correction while avoiding the redirect path that caused the same class of freeze.

Thanks for reproducing this and finding the actual cause — you're right, the redirect was the real issue. Traced it through FrameworkCard → getFrameworkDocsPath → the base router object in libraries.ts, which had installPath: 'framework/$framework/quick-start'. Confirmed against the router repo's docs that there's no per-framework quick-start.md (only the canonical one), so that path always triggered the loader redirect. Pushed a fix pointing installPath at quick-start, reverted the preload={false} change, and added a focused unit test on the emitted install href for both frameworks. PR description updated to close #1001.

I merged current main locally and ran the full pnpm test suite successfully: typechecking, lint, 553 unit tests, 2,269 chat tests, and 20 desktop tests passed. The focused checks cover React and Solid quick-start paths, and the upstream Router tree contains the canonical docs/router/quick-start.md.

I used GitHub’s normal branch update to bring this PR current. The new head is 8100f6f, and its tree exactly matches the locally tested merge. The PR, autofix, and security workflows now report action_required for the fork, so this remains open pending workflow approval and passing checks. No checks were bypassed.

The actual hover flow now checks out on this branch too. This can move forward once the required application checks pass.

AI review notes:
Tested head 8100f6f1c119d4c99c51bd78850c5daefc7ff5b0 as a full local Vite/Cloudflare application, using its frozen lockfile installed offline with lifecycle scripts disabled and no copied environment credentials. The four focused install-path tests passed.

In fresh headless browsers on macOS, hovered the React card and its installation link in Chromium, and the Solid card and its installation link in Firefox, then clicked through and waited for the Quick Start heading. Both rendered the canonical /router/latest/docs/quick-start page without captured page errors. All four card/install links pointed directly to that canonical path. This verifies the local development app, not a production deployment or every browser configuration.

The current check rollup still has no passing application CI. This PR and #1001 remain open; no checks were bypassed.

Assert the rendered “Full install instructions” href for both frameworks.

The current tests protect only getFrameworkDocsPath. Add a focused FrameworkCard test that renders the React and Solid cards and checks the link href resolves to /router/latest/docs/quick-start. This will detect regressions in the helper wiring or link parameters that the current tests cannot detect.
