Description

When an Electron app supplied no routerPush/routerReplace, clerk-js fell back to a
window.location navigation. Additional sign-in/up steps target the internal component router
(/CLERK-ROUTER/VIRTUAL/...), and a renderer served from a custom scheme would often result in navigation reloading the whole renderer, unmounting Clerk and breaking the auth flow.

This PR makes ClerkProvider always supply a routerPush/routerReplace:

  • internal virtual routers are now absorbed.
  • Real destinations go to the application's router when one is provided, otherwise fall back to
    host navigation, preserving current behavior for apps that supply no router.

isVirtualRouterPath moves to @clerk/shared so @clerk/electron and @clerk/ui share one
definition; @clerk/ui re-exports VIRTUAL_ROUTER_BASE_PATH unchanged.

The electron-vite integration template passed no-op router functions to work around this, which
also swallowed real destinations. Those are replaced with router functions wired to
history.pushState/replaceState, and the suite now asserts that no
clerk:beforeunload fires during sign-in, as that event is dispatched immediately before clerk-js
assigns window.location.

When sign-in ran over the native OAuth transport, a transfer to sign-up navigated with hash-style
step URLs (<sign-up-url>#/continue) that the in-place component router resolves by pathname only,
so the hash was dropped and the transferred sign-up landed on the start step. Submitting that form
created a fresh sign-up without the verified external account. The transport callback params now use
path-form step URLs (…/sign-up/continue, or create/continue in the combined flow), matching the
treatment the sign-in-side URLs already received.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ClerkProvider keeps Electron navigation in the renderer by absorbing virtual-router paths and routing real destinations through the application router or host navigation. Shared virtual-router detection is centralized in the URL module. OAuth transfer callbacks now generate normalized sign-up step URLs for standard, virtual, and combined flows. Unit and integration tests cover both changes.

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

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 29098

The PR keeps Electron authentication navigation inside the renderer and fixes transferred sign-up step URLs. It is mergeable with owner awareness of a remaining test-quality issue: one test bypasses the context type contract with an any cast, which could weaken validation of future changes.

Description

When an Electron app supplied no routerPush/routerReplace, clerk-js fell back to a
window.location navigation. Additional sign-in/up steps target the internal component router
(/CLERK-ROUTER/VIRTUAL/...), and a renderer served from a custom scheme would often result in navigation reloading the whole renderer, unmounting Clerk and breaking the auth flow.

This PR makes ClerkProvider always supply a routerPush/routerReplace:

  • internal virtual routers are now absorbed.
  • Real destinations go to the application's router when one is provided, otherwise fall back to
    host navigation, preserving current behavior for apps that supply no router.

isVirtualRouterPath moves to @clerk/shared so @clerk/electron and @clerk/ui share one
definition; @clerk/ui re-exports VIRTUAL_ROUTER_BASE_PATH unchanged.

The electron-vite integration template passed no-op router functions to work around this, which
also swallowed real destinations. Those are replaced with router functions wired to
history.pushState/replaceState, and the suite now asserts that no
clerk:beforeunload fires during sign-in, as that event is dispatched immediately before clerk-js

so the hash was dropped and the transferred sign-up landed on the start step. Submitting that form
created a fresh sign-up without the verified external account. The transport callback params now use
path-form step URLs (…/sign-up/continue, or create/continue in the combined flow), matching the
treatment the sign-in-side URLs already received.

Description

When an Electron app supplied no routerPush/routerReplace, clerk-js fell back to a
window.location navigation. Additional sign-in/up steps target the internal component router
(/CLERK-ROUTER/VIRTUAL/...), and a renderer served from a custom scheme would often result in navigation reloading the whole renderer, unmounting Clerk and breaking the auth flow.

This PR makes ClerkProvider always supply a routerPush/routerReplace:

  • internal virtual routers are now absorbed.
  • Real destinations go to the application's router when one is provided, otherwise fall back to
    host navigation, preserving current behavior for apps that supply no router.

isVirtualRouterPath moves to @clerk/shared so @clerk/electron and @clerk/ui share one
definition; @clerk/ui re-exports VIRTUAL_ROUTER_BASE_PATH unchanged.

The electron-vite integration template passed no-op router functions to work around this, which
also swallowed real destinations. Those are replaced with router functions wired to
history.pushState/replaceState, and the suite now asserts that no
clerk:beforeunload fires during sign-in, as that event is dispatched immediately before clerk-js
assigns window.location.

When sign-in ran over the native OAuth transport, a transfer to sign-up navigated with hash-style
step URLs (<sign-up-url>#/continue) that the in-place component router resolves by pathname only,
so the hash was dropped and the transferred sign-up landed on the start step. Submitting that form
created a fresh sign-up without the verified external account. The transport callback params now use
path-form step URLs (…/sign-up/continue, or create/continue in the combined flow), matching the
treatment the sign-in-side URLs already received.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ClerkProvider keeps Electron navigation in the renderer by absorbing virtual-router paths and routing real destinations through the application router or host navigation. Shared virtual-router detection is centralized in the URL module. OAuth transfer callbacks now generate normalized sign-up step URLs for standard, virtual, and combined flows. Unit and integration tests cover both changes.

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

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 29098

The PR keeps Electron authentication navigation inside the renderer and fixes transferred sign-up step URLs. It is mergeable with owner awareness of a remaining test-quality issue: one test bypasses the context type contract with an any cast, which could weaken validation of future changes.

Description

When an Electron app supplied no routerPush/routerReplace, clerk-js fell back to a
window.location navigation. Additional sign-in/up steps target the internal component router
(/CLERK-ROUTER/VIRTUAL/...), and a renderer served from a custom scheme would often result in navigation reloading the whole renderer, unmounting Clerk and breaking the auth flow.

This PR makes ClerkProvider always supply a routerPush/routerReplace:

  • internal virtual routers are now absorbed.
  • Real destinations go to the application's router when one is provided, otherwise fall back to
    host navigation, preserving current behavior for apps that supply no router.

isVirtualRouterPath moves to @clerk/shared so @clerk/electron and @clerk/ui share one
definition; @clerk/ui re-exports VIRTUAL_ROUTER_BASE_PATH unchanged.

The electron-vite integration template passed no-op router functions to work around this, which
also swallowed real destinations. Those are replaced with router functions wired to
history.pushState/replaceState, and the suite now asserts that no
clerk:beforeunload fires during sign-in, as that event is dispatched immediately before clerk-js
assigns window.location.

When sign-in ran over the native OAuth transport, a transfer to sign-up navigated with hash-style
step URLs (<sign-up-url>#/continue) that the in-place component router resolves by pathname only,
so the hash was dropped and the transferred sign-up landed on the start step. Submitting that form
created a fresh sign-up without the verified external account. The transport callback params now use
path-form step URLs (…/sign-up/continue, or create/continue in the combined flow), matching the
treatment the sign-in-side URLs already received.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ClerkProvider keeps Electron navigation in the renderer by absorbing virtual-router paths and routing real destinations through the application router or host navigation. Shared virtual-router detection is centralized in the URL module. OAuth transfer callbacks now generate normalized sign-up step URLs for standard, virtual, and combined flows. Unit and integration tests cover both changes.

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

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 29098

The PR keeps Electron authentication navigation inside the renderer and fixes transferred sign-up step URLs. It is mergeable with owner awareness of a remaining test-quality issue: one test bypasses the context type contract with an any cast, which could weaken validation of future changes.

Description

When an Electron app supplied no routerPush/routerReplace, clerk-js fell back to a
window.location navigation. Additional sign-in/up steps target the internal component router
(/CLERK-ROUTER/VIRTUAL/...), and a renderer served from a custom scheme would often result in navigation reloading the whole renderer, unmounting Clerk and breaking the auth flow.

This PR makes ClerkProvider always supply a routerPush/routerReplace:

  • internal virtual routers are now absorbed.
  • Real destinations go to the application's router when one is provided, otherwise fall back to
    host navigation, preserving current behavior for apps that supply no router.

isVirtualRouterPath moves to @clerk/shared so @clerk/electron and @clerk/ui share one
definition; @clerk/ui re-exports VIRTUAL_ROUTER_BASE_PATH unchanged.

The electron-vite integration template passed no-op router functions to work around this, which
also swallowed real destinations. Those are replaced with router functions wired to
history.pushState/replaceState, and the suite now asserts that no
clerk:beforeunload fires during sign-in, as that event is dispatched immediately before clerk-js
assigns window.location.

When sign-in ran over the native OAuth transport, a transfer to sign-up navigated with hash-style
step URLs (<sign-up-url>#/continue) that the in-place component router resolves by pathname only,
so the hash was dropped and the transferred sign-up landed on the start step. Submitting that form
created a fresh sign-up without the verified external account. The transport callback params now use
path-form step URLs (…/sign-up/continue, or create/continue in the combined flow), matching the
treatment the sign-in-side URLs already received.

Description

When an Electron app supplied no routerPush/routerReplace, clerk-js fell back to a
window.location navigation. Additional sign-in/up steps target the internal component router
(/CLERK-ROUTER/VIRTUAL/...), and a renderer served from a custom scheme would often result in navigation reloading the whole renderer, unmounting Clerk and breaking the auth flow.

This PR makes ClerkProvider always supply a routerPush/routerReplace:

  • internal virtual routers are now absorbed.
  • Real destinations go to the application's router when one is provided, otherwise fall back to
    host navigation, preserving current behavior for apps that supply no router.

isVirtualRouterPath moves to @clerk/shared so @clerk/electron and @clerk/ui share one
definition; @clerk/ui re-exports VIRTUAL_ROUTER_BASE_PATH unchanged.

The electron-vite integration template passed no-op router functions to work around this, which
also swallowed real destinations. Those are replaced with router functions wired to
history.pushState/replaceState, and the suite now asserts that no
clerk:beforeunload fires during sign-in, as that event is dispatched immediately before clerk-js
assigns window.location.

When sign-in ran over the native OAuth transport, a transfer to sign-up navigated with hash-style
step URLs (<sign-up-url>#/continue) that the in-place component router resolves by pathname only,
so the hash was dropped and the transferred sign-up landed on the start step. Submitting that form
created a fresh sign-up without the verified external account. The transport callback params now use
path-form step URLs (…/sign-up/continue, or create/continue in the combined flow), matching the
treatment the sign-in-side URLs already received.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ClerkProvider keeps Electron navigation in the renderer by absorbing virtual-router paths and routing real destinations through the application router or host navigation. Shared virtual-router detection is centralized in the URL module. OAuth transfer callbacks now generate normalized sign-up step URLs for standard, virtual, and combined flows. Unit and integration tests cover both changes.

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

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 29098

The PR keeps Electron authentication navigation inside the renderer and fixes transferred sign-up step URLs. It is mergeable with owner awareness of a remaining test-quality issue: one test bypasses the context type contract with an any cast, which could weaken validation of future changes.

Description

When an Electron app supplied no routerPush/routerReplace, clerk-js fell back to a
window.location navigation. Additional sign-in/up steps target the internal component router
(/CLERK-ROUTER/VIRTUAL/...), and a renderer served from a custom scheme would often result in navigation reloading the whole renderer, unmounting Clerk and breaking the auth flow.

This PR makes ClerkProvider always supply a routerPush/routerReplace:

  • internal virtual routers are now absorbed.
  • Real destinations go to the application's router when one is provided, otherwise fall back to
    host navigation, preserving current behavior for apps that supply no router.

isVirtualRouterPath moves to @clerk/shared so @clerk/electron and @clerk/ui share one
definition; @clerk/ui re-exports VIRTUAL_ROUTER_BASE_PATH unchanged.

The electron-vite integration template passed no-op router functions to work around this, which
also swallowed real destinations. Those are replaced with router functions wired to
history.pushState/replaceState, and the suite now asserts that no
clerk:beforeunload fires during sign-in, as that event is dispatched immediately before clerk-js
assigns window.location.

When sign-in ran over the native OAuth transport, a transfer to sign-up navigated with hash-style
step URLs (<sign-up-url>#/continue) that the in-place component router resolves by pathname only,
so the hash was dropped and the transferred sign-up landed on the start step. Submitting that form
created a fresh sign-up without the verified external account. The transport callback params now use
path-form step URLs (…/sign-up/continue, or create/continue in the combined flow), matching the
treatment the sign-in-side URLs already received.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ClerkProvider keeps Electron navigation in the renderer by absorbing virtual-router paths and routing real destinations through the application router or host navigation. Shared virtual-router detection is centralized in the URL module. OAuth transfer callbacks now generate normalized sign-up step URLs for standard, virtual, and combined flows. Unit and integration tests cover both changes.

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

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 29098

The PR keeps Electron authentication navigation inside the renderer and fixes transferred sign-up step URLs. It is mergeable with owner awareness of a remaining test-quality issue: one test bypasses the context type contract with an any cast, which could weaken validation of future changes.
