Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The sidebar transition fix covers the Ember-owned path, but React-owned and loading ownership states lack regression tests. A future change could expose the sidebar during those transitions without test detection. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 6✅ Passed checks (6 passed)

'ember'. The added test only proves the allowed case. Add cases where either lookup returns'react'and where ownership is'pending'. Expectfalsein each case. Otherwise, a regression that yields sidebar control before both owners are Ember will pass this suite.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

What happened?
With React posts & pages lists disabled, returning from the Ember editor briefly rendered the posts/pages loading state without the Admin sidebar.
Two state sources overlap during this transition:
ui.isFullScreenwhen the list transition starts./editor/*until the Ember model resolves, so the editor route handle continued hiding the sidebar.That stale React route match overrode the early Ember signal and produced the full-page shift.
What changed?
beforeModel, before the list loading state renders.beforeModel, before its own loading state renders.Added three focused logic regression cases covering the two early Ember state changes and the cross-router ownership handoff.
How to test
Tests
This PR adds three focused logic tests:
Existing Ember posts/pages flag acceptance tests (14/14) and editor flag acceptance tests (7/7) also pass. Focused ESLint and dependency-cruiser checks passed.
The full Admin typecheck is currently blocked by an unrelated pre-existing error in
tier-checkout-collection.tsxconcerning thekeyproperty on shipping fields.
