# @gemboss/ui changelog

Versions up to 0.9.0 are described in the README, each in the section that introduced it.

## 0.10.0 (05/10/2026)
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
Navigation pending: a click on a menu item answers on the first frame, and a page is fetched while the pointer rests on
|
|
8
|
+
its link (Chris, 05/10/2026, from content-radar's rail). README "Navigation pending".
|
|
9
|
+
|
|
10
|
+
Added
|
|
11
|
+
- `@gemboss/ui/next`, a new entry: `NavLink` (next/link that prefetches only on intent: pointer at rest 120 ms,
|
|
12
|
+
touchstart, focus; while its page loads it carries a `role="status"` mark that turns a rail item's icon into the
|
|
13
|
+
spinner), `PendingLink` (a link in the page with a small spinner, `mark="inline" | "corner"`), `PendingIcon`,
|
|
14
|
+
`NAV_DWELL_MS`. `next` >= 15.3 is an optional peer dependency; the main entry does not import it.
|
|
15
|
+
- `RailItem` and `RailSubItem` take `pending` (sets `aria-busy="true"`).
|
|
16
|
+
- `RouteHolding` (main entry, plain component): the one loading boundary a route group renders in its `loading.jsx`
|
|
17
|
+
(title bar + four lines in the content column, `role="status"`). Required wherever links are `NavLink`: without a
|
|
18
|
+
boundary, intent prefetch has nothing to fetch (content-radar 05/10/2026: new screen at 350-780 ms).
|
|
19
|
+
- `RouteCover` (main entry): the same frame over the content area from the click until the navigation commits, shown
|
|
20
|
+
by `html[data-gb-navigating]`, which the `@gemboss/ui/next` links set while pending (no delay, 80 ms fade).
|
|
21
|
+
- `app-shell.css`: the pending look. `.gnav-item` icon becomes a 20px spinner in the same box (the label does not
|
|
22
|
+
move), `.gnav-subitem` gets a 12px spinner in its indent before the label (out of the flow), `cursor: progress`, slower spin under reduced motion;
|
|
23
|
+
`a[data-gb-pending]` + `.gb-pending-mark` for page links; `.gnav-pending` status text.
|
|
24
|
+
- `kit-plain.js`: `initNav()`, which runs by itself when the script loads. Followed rail links (and
|
|
25
|
+
`a[data-gb-pending]`) are marked; links are prefetched (speculation rules where supported, else `<link rel="prefetch">`) after a 120 ms rest of the
|
|
26
|
+
pointer or of keyboard focus, or on touchstart, once per URL; not at all once a client router took a rail click over. Skips modifier clicks, `target`, `download`, same-page hashes, other origins, clicks a handler
|
|
27
|
+
already took; clears on `pageshow`, Escape, `navigateerror`, after 15 s. Opt out: `data-gb-nav="off"`,
|
|
28
|
+
`data-gb-prefetch="off"`. No prefetch inside a Next app or with Save-Data.

|
+
|
|
31
|
+
Measured, and why the prefetch is a speculation rule (05/10/2026, `_local/fleet/nav-pending/prefetch-reuse.txt`): a
|
|
32
|
+
`<link rel="prefetch">` of a page is reused by the click only when the page is cacheable (max-age > 0). Server-rendered
|
|
33
|
+
fleet pages send max-age=0 / no-cache, so the click fetched the page again, and a prefetch still in flight made the
|
|
34
|
+
click slower (1121 ms to the new page against 737 ms without one, through a 280 ms proxy). A speculation-rules prefetch
|
|
35
|
+
was reused under every Cache-Control tried; `nav-pending.test.tsx` holds both (one server request vs two).
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
Not changed
|
|
38
|
+
- The admin: it keeps its own holding screen and hover prefetch (`NavPending.tsx`, `AppShell.tsx`); none of the new
|
|
39
|
+
CSS or code is in its first load. Moving it over is a later change (README).

Number: 0.9.0 is the editor kit (gemboss #3770, merged 05/10/2026, not yet published), so this is 0.10.0 (new API =
|
|
42
|

minor). Publish 0.9.0 first or together; check `npm view @gemboss/ui versions` and main before publishing either.

Chris, 04/10/2026: the rail on the left, and on the right a content column with the same max width on every

React: one `PageContainer` directly inside `AppShell` caps every screen. Pass the CURRENT route's tier; a page
|
|
58
|
+
cannot widen a cap its parent set, so a screen that needs `canvas` or `full` gets it here, not from a second
|
|

|
+
wrapper of its own.

|

|
|
67

`as="section"` changes the tag. `pageWidthClass("form")` returns the class string for a server template.
|
|
68
|
+
`PageContainer` lives in its own plain module (`packages/ui/src/page.tsx`), not in `shell.tsx`, and `AppShell` has no width
|
|
69
|
+
prop: the admin imports the shell pieces from `shell.tsx`, a client module its bundler keeps whole, and the
|

admin's first-load shell budget had no room for even this much JS (240.0 / 240 KB, 04/10/2026).

Delete the surface's own cap when it moves onto a tier (`maxWidth: 1160` on each gemwatcher screen, a
|
|
81
|
+
`max-width` on a `.container`): two caps on one column means the narrower one wins and nobody can tell which.
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
**A cap only exists where it is SMALLER than the room it sits in.** Right of the 240px rail, inside main's 24px
|
|
84
|
+
padding, the room is `viewport − 288`: 992 at 1280, 1152 at 1440, 1632 at 1920. So 900 bites at all three, and
|
|
85
|
+
1440 (`canvas`) bites only from about 1730px; below that the column is just the room. Before you quote a width,
|
|
86
|
+
check `cap < viewport − rail − padding` at the width people actually use (the admin shipped two caps, 1040 then
|
|
87
|
+
998, that were wider than the room at 1277 and did nothing there, 10/09/2026). The column is never wider than
|
|
88
|
+
the room, so no tier makes a page scroll sideways; at ≤760px there is no rail and the column is `viewport − 32`.
|
|
89
|

|
|
90
|

The page must reset `body { margin: 0 }` itself: `gemboss-ui.css` does not (the admin gets it from Polaris).

Chris, 05/10/2026: content-radar's rail (click a menu item and its icon turns into a spinner, sub items too; rest the
|
|
292
|
+
pointer on one and its page is fetched ahead) is the standard for every surface. Measured 04/10 on content-radar with a
|
|
293
|
+
server ~280 ms away: a rail click left the screen unchanged for 321-503 ms; with this, 6-8 ms. The rule: **something
|
|
294
|
+
on screen changes within 100 ms of every navigation click.** A skeleton is optional (see below); this is not.

Links in the page (a list row, a card, a tab): `PendingLink` in Next (`mark="corner"` for a link that wraps a whole

+
card), or `data-gb-pending` (`"inline"` / `"corner"`) on an `<a>` with kit-plain.js. `PendingIcon` (Next) swaps the icon of a
|
|
306
|
+
NavLink outside the rail (a tab with an icon) for the spinner; not inside PendingLink (it has its own) and not in a rail
|
|
307
|
+
item (already swapped).
|
|
308
|
+
|
|
309
|
+
kit-plain.js, exactly: same origin; a plain left click (no Cmd / Ctrl / Shift / Alt, not the middle button); no
|
|
310
|
+
`target` other than `_self`; no `download`; not a `#hash` (or `href="#"`) on the same page; nothing already called
|
|
311
|
+
`preventDefault` (a client router, a popup; the kit listens on the window, so it sees the page's own delegated handlers). The mark comes off on `pageshow` (back/forward cache), Escape, the browser's stop
|
|
312
|
+
(`navigateerror`), the next followed link, and after 15 s at the latest. Opt out with `data-gb-nav="off"` on the link
|
|
313
|
+
or any ancestor (`<html>` for a whole page); `data-gb-prefetch="off"` keeps the spinner and skips the prefetch: put it
|
|
314
|
+
on any GET link that DOES something (sign out, export). It never prefetches in a Next app (`window.next`), nor once a
|
|
315
|
+
client router has taken a rail click over (any SPA): the router owns its links, and a document prefetch there is a
|
|
316
|
+
server request the click never uses. A PendingLink to the page already shown (`?tab=b`) gets its spinner but not the
|
|
317
|
+
RouteCover. Links NavLink renders carry
|
|
318
|
+
`data-gb-nav="next"` and are left to it.
|
|
319
|
+
|
|
320
|
+
`@gemboss/ui/next` is its own entry, and `next` (>= 15.3, for `useLinkStatus`) is an OPTIONAL peer: the main entry never
|
|
321
|
+
imports it (`kit-plain-bundles.test.ts` bundles it without next), so Vite and plain-HTML surfaces are unaffected. With
|
|
322
|
+
Next's prefetch on intent you also want `experimental.staleTimes` (`{ dynamic: 30, static: 180 }`, as the admin and
|
|
323
|
+
content-radar) so going back to a page is served from the router cache, and the loading boundary below is NOT optional;
|
|
324
|
+
a navigation that is not a link
|
|
325
|
+
(`router.push` from a select) is not covered: give that control its own pending state.
|
|
326
|
+
|
|
327
|
+
The admin is not on this yet: it answers a click with its own holding screen (`NavPending.tsx`: the clicked item takes
|
|
328
|
+
the selected pill at once, the content area is covered after 90 ms) and does its own hover prefetch, and its shell CSS
|
|
329
|
+
has under 1 KB of first-load headroom. Its rail already sets `aria-busy` on the pending hub, so moving it over is the
|
|
330
|
+
`app-shell.css` rules into `shell.css` plus `RailSubItem pending`.
|
|
331
|
+
|
|
332
|
+
### The loading boundary: REQUIRED with NavLink
|
|
333
|
+
|
|
334
|
+
**Every route group whose links are `NavLink` / `PendingLink` must have a `loading.jsx`, and it renders `RouteHolding`.**
|
|
335
|
+
Next prefetches a dynamic route only down to its nearest loading boundary. Without one, intent prefetch fetches
|
|
336
|
+
nothing useful and the click waits a whole server round trip with the old page on screen, spinner or not. Measured
|
|
337
|
+
05/10/2026 on content-radar (no `loading.*` file, server ~280 ms away): hover prefetches returned 0.3-1.2 KB, none
|
|
338
|
+
finished before the click, and the new screen took 350-780 ms although the rail spinner showed at 5-38 ms. gemwatcher
|
|
339
|
+
(a SPA that draws the new screen's frame first and fills it after) "jumps at once": 8-30 ms. The admin measured the same
|
|
340
|
+
from the other side: deleting `app/app/loading.tsx` cost 60-270 ms per click.
|
|
341
|
+
|
|
342
|
+
```jsx
|
|
343
|
+
// app/v2/loading.jsx: ONE file for the group, not one per page
|
|
344
|
+
import { RouteHolding } from "@gemboss/ui";
|
|
345
|
+
export default function Loading() { return <RouteHolding />; }
|
|
346
|
+
|
|
347
|
+
// app/v2/layout.jsx: ONE RouteCover beside the page, inside the shell
|
|
348
|
+
import { RouteCover } from "@gemboss/ui";
|
|
349
|
+
<AppShell …><PageContainer width={…}>{children}</PageContainer><RouteCover /></AppShell>
|
|
350
|
+
```
|
|
351
|
+
|
|
352
|
+
The boundary alone is not enough for `t_route`: Next paints it only once a prefetch or the click's own request has come
|
|
353
|
+
back, one server round trip, and a 120 ms hover rarely lets the prefetch finish (content-radar through a 280 ms
|
|
354
|
+
proxy, 05/10/2026: ~300-350 ms with the boundary). `RouteCover` is the same frame already in the page: the
|
|
355
|
+
`@gemboss/ui/next` links set `html[data-gb-navigating]` while pending, and the cover shows over the content area (below
|
|
356
|
+
the topbar, right of the rail) from the click (80 ms fade) until the navigation commits, where the boundary or the page
|
|
357
|
+
takes over in the same place. It is the admin's holding screen (`.gemboss-route-shell`), minus the destination's name.
|
|
358
|
+
|
|
359
|
+
`RouteHolding` (and `RouteCover`) is one frame for every route: a title bar and four lines in the content column (`width` takes the
|
|
360
|
+
PageContainer tiers; `"none"` when the shell already caps the column; `title` when the boundary knows its one
|
|
361
|
+
destination), `role="status"` with a "Loading" label, no card edges. It is a plain component (no hooks), so a server
|
|
362
|
+
`loading.jsx` renders it, and the admin's first load does not carry it. Two numbers to check per surface (visual-gate
|
|
363
|
+
`--clicks`, or the PR's Playwright script): `t_feedback` (something changes) and `t_route` (the new screen, holding
|
|
364
|
+
frame included, is up), both within 100 ms of the click.
|
|
365
|
+
|
|
366
|
+
### Page skeletons: where a page has the conditions, not everywhere
|
|
367
|
+
|
|
368
|
+
A skeleton shaped like one page is optional (Chris: "cái có cái không tuỳ điều kiện nhưng dần sẽ áp dụng hết"). Use the
|
|
369
|
+
kit's `.ui-skeleton` inside a page (a `<Suspense>` fallback around one slow block) when its shape is known before its
|
|
370
|
+
data (a list, a table, a card grid), and keep it to that shape: one that does not match the page is a layout jump of its
|
|
371
|
+
own. Always with the screen reader line:
|
|
372
|
+
|
|
373
|
+
```jsx
|
|
374
|
+
<div className="ui-skeleton" aria-busy="true">
|
|
375
|
+
<span className="ui-sr-only">Loading</span>
|
|
376
|
+
<span className="ui-skeleton__line" style={{ width: "40%" }} />
|
|
377
|
+
<span className="ui-skeleton__line" />
|
|
378
|
+
</div>
|
|
379

```
