maybe wrap with something like executeAction?

avoid for of

and here too. I wont make more comments about for of, maybe we should enable the eslint rule for qwik router too

  params: PathParams;
  response: EndpointResponse;
  loadedRoute: LoadedRoute;
+  routeLoaderCtx: import('./route-loaders').RouteLoaderCtx;


we we cant import this type normally?

should we move these tests?

Replace the q-data.json endpoint with per-loader `q-loader-{id}.{manifestHash}.json` endpoints. Each routeLoader$ gets its own cacheable JSON endpoint. Key changes: - Route trie includes loader hashes per route segment - New loaderHandler returns individual loader data as `{d, r, e}` - New jsonRequestWrapper captures middleware redirects/errors for JSON requests - Action handler split into separate `handlers/action-handler.ts` - Route loaders are AsyncSignal, tracking their route paths - SPA navigation awaits loader promises with navCount-based redirect detection - SSG updated for per-loader endpoints - Core: export additional internals needed by router spec tests

Add jsonRequestWrapper handler that wraps next() in try/catch for q-loader and q-action JSON requests. Middleware redirects/errors are captured into JSON envelopes ({r} for loaders, {e,s} for actions) instead of propagating as HTTP redirects/error pages. - Loader redirects: returned as {r: url} in LoaderResponse envelope - Action redirects: re-thrown (client handles via response.redirected) - Errors: wrapped as ServerError in both loader and action envelopes - Dev mode: error messages include original error text - SSR loadersMiddleware: unchanged, errors propagate for middleware

routeLoader$ now accepts an `eTag` option for ETag-based caching of q-loader-*.json responses: - `eTag: true` — auto-hash serialized data (loader runs, then checks) - `eTag: "version"` — static eTag (304 returned before loader runs) - `eTag: (ev) => string|null` — dynamic from request context (params, URL, etc.), 304 returned before loader runs For string/function eTags, the loader is skipped entirely on cache hit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

routeLoader$ now accepts a `search` option — an allowlist of URL search parameter names the loader depends on. When set: - Only re-fetches when the listed search params change - Other param changes are ignored (returns previous value) - Only the listed params are sent in the loader JSON request URL When not set: all params sent, any change triggers re-fetch (current behavior). Example: `routeLoader$(fn, { search: ['sort', 'page'] })` Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Use page.waitForURL() after SPA navigation clicks before asserting content. URL changes complete before loader data renders, providing a stable synchronization point. - Assert loader-dependent values first (they change between routes) before checking static values (same title on both routes). - Increase timeout for loader redirect test (multi-step: fetch → {r} envelope → goto). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add strictLoaders Vite plugin option (default: true) that makes loaders default to search:[] and actions default to invalidate:[]. This maximizes cacheability. Add allowStale option to LoaderOptions, passed through to the AsyncSignal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

When variable migration collected transitive dependencies for a root variable being migrated to a single segment, it didn't check whether those transitive deps were also directly used by other segments. This caused the deps to be migrated (inlined) into one segment and their exports removed from the parent module, leaving other segments with dangling references. In qwik-router, this manifested as `currentScrollState` and `saveScrollHistory` being migrated to the useTask segment (as transitive deps of other helpers) while the goto segment also needed them, causing ReferenceErrors at runtime during SPA navigation. The fix adds a check in the safety filter of `find_migratable_vars`: if a candidate variable appears in `root_var_usage` for any segment other than the migration target, it is excluded from migration.

it's a bit of a workaround but it's server-side only and it is needed for robustness against bundling issues

Preserve AsyncSignal subscriptions across a loader-driven redirect by returning `previous` instead of throwing — an error-state AsyncSignal can drop its Resource subscription, which would prevent the redirect-target fetch from updating the UI. The UX trade-off (a brief flash of stale data before the new route's loaders resolve) is intentional; awaiting every loader promise on every nav to catch the rare redirect case is too costly. - Gate the welcome-redirect assertions in loaders.e2e.ts on MPA only, since SPA races the commit against the redirect nav and doesn't guarantee the composed loader re-resolves with fresh data. - Refresh the SSG snapshot fixtures for the new serialized state.
