fix(history): handle blockers consistently across history traversal

[Sheraff]

🎯 Changes

Handle blockers consistently across history.back(), history.forward(), and history.go():

• Preserve native unload warnings during back/forward navigation unless explicitly bypassed.
• Forward the existing ignoreBlocker option for go() so it bypasses navigation blockers and native unload warnings, including go(0) reloads.
• Clear the unload bypass after same-document traversal so later document navigation still warns about unsaved changes.
• Reverse blocked traversal by its actual distance, restoring the original browser URL after forward navigation or multi-entry jumps.

Fixes#4867. The option-forwarding change overlaps with #7832; this PR also handles document unload warnings and tests the combined behavior in a real browser. The rollback correction overlaps with #7908.

The regression fixture uses useBlocker, public router.history methods, and ordinary links. Tests assert the displayed route step, draft contents, public blocker status, and real native dialogs without mocking browser events or changing router internals. Coverage includes both directions, one- and two-entry jumps, default blocking, explicit bypasses, subsequent unload warnings, reloads, and dismissing the app blocker to restore the original URL and displayed step.

Validation:

• Without the go() fix (keeping the back/forward fix): 9 failed, 17 passed. The failures cover ignored same-document traversal, document traversal, and reloads.
• Before the rollback correction, four dismissal cases failed: forward(), go(1), go(-2), and go(2) left the browser at the wrong URL.
• With this patch: 56 browser tests passed (26 history-blocking cases and 30 existing navigation/blocker cases).
• Affected ESLint, type, and unit suites passed.

Known limitation: an ignored traversal beyond a history boundary can leave its bypass active for a later navigation. This is documented beside the bypass flags in the source. Resolving it requires a separate decision about unload bypass behavior when the browser cannot identify a valid traversal destination.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Preserved unsaved-changes warnings during back, forward, and history traversal navigation.
  • The “Ignore blockers” option now bypasses warnings only for the requested navigation.
  • Subsequent navigation correctly restores unload warnings after an ignored same-document history change.

  • Reload navigation now respects blocker settings.

• Tests

  • Added coverage for multi-step history navigation, blocked document changes, reloads, bypass behavior, and draft preservation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change updates history traversal handling, adds a file-based route for blocker scenarios, and adds Playwright coverage for multi-step navigation, blocker bypasses, reloads, and document unload warnings.

Changes

History blocking traversal

Layer / File(s)	Summary
History traversal state handling packages/history/src/index.ts	go() now accepts and forwards ignoreBlocker. Back, forward, and go navigation apply bypass state only when requested. Same-document traversal clears the pending beforeunload exemption. Blocked traversal reverses the detected history delta.
History blocking test route e2e/react-router/basic-file-based/src/routes/history-blocking.tsx, e2e/react-router/basic-file-based/src/routeTree.gen.ts	The test app adds a /history-blocking route with draft state, blocker controls, back, forward, and go buttons, and a document navigation link. Generated route metadata registers the route.
Traversal behavior validation e2e/react-router/basic-file-based/tests/history-blocking.spec.ts, .changeset/swift-tigers-kick.md	Playwright tests cover document traversal, blocked and ignored same-document navigation, go(0) reload behavior, preserved drafts, and later unload warnings. The changeset declares a patch release for @tanstack/history.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to 02813

Explicit blocker bypasses now work consistently for back, forward, and multi-step go navigation, but an ignored boundary traversal can leave a bypass active for a later navigation and unexpectedly skip unsaved-change protection. This should be addressed before merge unless explicitly accepted.

🌐 Web query:

MDN History back forward no popstate when current entry first last entry

💡 Result:

The popstate event is fired whenever the active history entry changes, provided that the change occurs within the same document [1][2]. It is triggered by browser actions like clicking the Back or Forward buttons, as well as by programmatic calls to history.back, history.forward, or history.go [1][3]. Crucially, the popstate event does not fire when you reach the first or last entry in your session history if that navigation would take you to a different document (i.e., a different URL outside of the current session) [1][2]. However, if the session history contains multiple entries for the same document—such as those created via history.pushState or history.replaceState—the popstate event will fire as you navigate between these entries, regardless of whether you are moving toward the beginning or the end of the history stack [1][3]. In summary: - The event fires when switching between history entries within the same document [1][2]. - It does not fire when the browser navigates to a new page (different URL) [1]. - It fires for all internal history navigations, including those that hit the "ends" of your application-managed state stack [1]. It is important to note that simply calling history.pushState or history.replaceState does not trigger a popstate event; the event is strictly reserved for the actual navigation between existing history entries [1][4].

Clear bypass flags when no traversal occurs.

If win.history.back() or win.history.forward() performs no traversal, no popstate event clears skipBlockerNextPop or ignoreNextBeforeUnload. A later same-document traversal can bypass blockers, while a later document navigation can bypass the beforeunload warning. Clear or scope both flags when no traversal occurs, and add coverage for these boundary cases.

437-437: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the full blocked traversal delta.

Line 437 always advances one entry after a blocked traversal. If go(-2) moves from step 2 to step 0, this restores step 1 instead of step 2. If go(2) moves from step 0 to step 2, it can attempt to move beyond the available forward history. The router then reports its old in-memory location while the browser remains on a different entry.

Restore by -delta so the browser returns to the entry that initiated the blocked traversal.

Proposed fix

- win.history.go(1)+ win.history.go(-delta)
