+
+#### Hook Functions
+
+- **fallback**: Handle unmatched routes
+- **override**: Allow route override logic
+- **beforeLeave**: Execute before leaving current route
+- **beforeEach**: Global navigation guard
+- **beforeUpdate**: Execute before route update (same component)
+- **beforeEnter**: Execute before entering new route
+- **asyncComponent**: Load async component
+- **confirm**: Final confirmation and navigation execution
+
+#### Navigation Types
+
+- **Standard Navigation** (`push`, `replace`): Execute full hook chain
+- **Window Operations** (`pushWindow`, `replaceWindow`): Simplified hook chain for window-level navigation
+- **Layer Operations** (`pushLayer`): Minimal hook chain for layer navigation
+- **App Restart** (`restartApp`): Full hook chain but skip override
+- **Unknown Type** (`unknown`): Full hook chain but skip override, used as default handling
