Server SSR policy resolution
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to Client navigation is optimized for normal Promise values, but unusual getter-backed thenables can behave differently during beforeLoad processing.

why not use isPromise?

if we know it's going to be a genuine Promise then this check is cheaper than isPromise()
(and also isPromise is currently unused, so there isn't even an upside to "just use the same thing as elsewhere")
Bundle Size Benchmarks
The following scenarios have bundle-size changes compared with the baseline:
Current gzip tracks all emitted client JS chunks. Initial gzip tracks only the entry/import graph. Trend sparkline is historical current gzip ending with this PR measurement; lower is better. |

Read then only once for beforeLoad thenables.
Line 439 reads value.then to choose the asynchronous path. waitFor then calls Promise.resolve(value), which reads then again. A getter-backed thenable can throw or return a different method on the second read. Capture then once and use it for cancellation-aware assimilation. Add a regression test.

🎯 Changes
Reduce Promise overhead in navigation while preserving cancellation and loader readiness:
beforeLoadresults skip the cancellable Promise wrapper and its abort listener. Keep theawaitcheckpoint so a queued replacement navigation can cancel stale work before its loader starts.Controller allocation and public types are unchanged. Controllers still own shared loader flights, cached data, request cancellation, and deferred cleanup. Promise detection assumes ordinary Promises, including foreign-realm Promises; custom stateful
thengetters are not an additional compatibility requirement.Measurements
Local allocation measurements compare production baseline
07b3bc971dwithb8e8fd5. Each lane contains a root plus eight nested routes. Identical temporary harnesses countedasync_hooksPromise resources around one operation, outside timed loops. Absolute counts include harness awaits; the deltas are the useful result.The chunk/completion changes save three Promise resources per match plus one per navigation. Each synchronous
beforeLoadadditionally saves three Promise resources and an abort listener registration/removal. Returningundefinedhas the same additional saving as returning a context object: 159 → 135 in the eight-hook comparison against the chunk/completion changes alone.Bundle size before the final chunk-error cleanup (
b8e8fd5): React Router minimal was 85,821 → 85,828 gzip bytes (+7 B). Both local measurement and CI's 18-scenario comparison show +7–16 gzip bytes overall, with unchanged JS file counts. The chunk/completion changes together save 6 bytes; the synchronous-hook guard adds 13 bytes to that composition. Independently, chunk consolidation and completion cleanup each saved 5 bytes; gzip effects are not additive.Latest chunk-error cleanup: A fresh comparison against HEAD
bbd9d9ad(after merging main) measures −10 to +5 gzip bytes across 18 scenarios: 11 shrink, two are unchanged, and five grow. React Router minimal is 85,828 → 85,829 B (+1 B); its initial gzip decreases by 3 B. Raw JS decreases by 16–18 B, and JS file counts are unchanged. These are incremental deltas for the cleanup, separate from the original PR comparison above.CPU simulation: All six client-navigation/SSR jobs for React, Solid, and Vue passed on
b8e8fd5. CodSpeed reports no CPU simulation regressions and one significant improvement: Solid loader navigation 202.8 → 196.7 ms (about 3% less time). The report flags runtime-environment differences, so the magnitude remains provisional. CodSpeed memory results are excluded from the performance assessment.Local timing runs had substantial outliers, including unchanged control paths, so they are diagnostic rather than evidence of a general navigation speedup. The allocation measurements and CI CPU simulation results are the basis for this tradeoff. Temporary investigation benchmarks and the results document are omitted from the final diff; regression tests remain.
Other ideas investigated
beforeLoadawait entirely lets queued replacement navigation start a stale loader. Retain the scheduling checkpoint while skipping the synchronous wrapper. ServerbeforeLoadalready awaits directly, so it has no corresponding wrapper to remove.isPromisehelper added 35 gzip bytes to the chunk/completion version; the inline guard adds 13 bytes instead.Promise.allfor synchronous head/scripts added 18 gzip bytes and was left out to limit bundle growth.Validation
The full affected CI unit/E2E, type, lint, and build checks passed on
b8e8fd5. Those CI results predate the final chunk-error cleanup; the new head will run CI again. Local validation of the corrected cleanup passed 1,712 core unit tests (plus four existing expected failures), TypeScript 5.6–7 checks, ESLint with 26 existing warnings, and 33 Chromium redirect tests. The chunk/readiness changes also passed 27 React pending/presentation tests and three React Start SSR/hydration tests.Retained regression coverage includes synchronous context inheritance, native/foreign Promises, replacement navigation, cancellation before Promise settlement and late rejection, chunk failures and control flow, blocking readiness, SSR inheritance, and queued request cancellation.
