What's Changed
New features
- Add an optional theme-styled Shopify Chat launcher configurable through Weaverse theme settings.
- Add a generated component manifest for 82 Pilot components and audit 489 Weaverse settings for unsafe configuration.
Bug fixes
- Show the add-to-cart spinner immediately when the customer clicks instead of waiting for fetcher state.
- Clean up the country selector's intersection observer correctly after upgrading to
react-intersection-observer11.
Dependencies
- Upgrade Shopify Hydrogen to 2026.4.5, Weaverse Hydrogen to 5.20.2, Vite to 8.2.1, Swiper to 14.1.0, Zustand to 5.0.15, and the supported development toolchain.
- Keep React Router on 7.16.0, GraphQL on 16.14.2, and TypeScript on 6.0.3 for current Shopify and React Router compatibility.
Developer experience
- Build Pilot on every pull request in CI.
- Document the working Oxygen deployment memory configuration.
- Add canonical agent and design guidance for Pilot contributors.
Upgrade notes
- The required
react-intersection-observer11 callback-ref migration is already included in Pilot; no additional application change is required after adopting this release. - React Router remains intentionally pinned until Shopify Hydrogen supports the newer compatible line.
