Fix

Hydration mismatch recovery was mounting the failed host's children as a new root, dropping components and context providers above it. This could leave Router outlets reading stale matches after navigation.

Keep the original root and component tree, adopt the unaffected document shell, and replace only the failed subtree. Later root renders still update the full app, and abandoned effects and subscriptions are cleaned up. If the narrowed recovery itself throws, its cleanup also preserves the document shell and head resources.

Validation

  • Add document, element, and nested-root regressions for context, click state, root updates, shell identity, effect cleanup, and unmount.
  • pnpm test:pr: 1,639 tests passed, 91 existing skips, types, build verification, and size checks passed.
  • The provider regression fails on current main and passes with this repair. Before the review follow-up, local website navigation and existing three-engine recovery checks passed with the provider-ancestry repair.
  • The review regression also fails before its fix and passes afterward. The follow-up changes only recovery-failure cleanup and removes an unused default parameter, adding no work to successful rendering.
  • Controlled local comparisons of the provider-ancestry repair found no performance change clearly separated from identical-code control noise. A tiny normal-hydration cost cannot be ruled out. The final cleanup follow-up was checked by tests and code inspection, not a fresh timing run.

Release and size

Patch changeset for @tanstack/redact, expected release 0.1.4. No public API, dependency, or scheduling changes.

The final built DOM entry adds 36 gzip bytes and exceeds the old budget by 6 bytes. The approved budget adjustment remains 36 bytes, from 25,246 to 25,282, retaining a 30-byte margin. DOM client shrinks by 66 gzip bytes, combined client by 64, and default-Vite combined client by 63.

The review follow-up leaves minified sizes unchanged and saves another 5 gzip bytes in the DOM entry, but increases that entry by 39 Brotli bytes. Its final cost against main is +44 minified, +36 gzip and +72 Brotli bytes. The other three main client bundles remain smaller in all three formats. The included size records preserve the baseline and repaired inputs, including every feature variant. This is an explicit correctness tradeoff, not a zero-size-cost claim, and no additional budget increase was made.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved recovery from hydration mismatches so unaffected parts of the page, including the document shell, remain intact where possible.
    • Preserved component and context-provider state during recovery, and ensured abandoned effects are cleaned up.
    • Updated root-level rendering to refresh the full app after a hydration mismatch.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Hydration recovery selects a container based on the failing fiber and restarts hydration. Tests cover provider ancestry, consumer state, document-shell identity, and cleanup. Benchmark records document bundle measurements and the updated DOM API size budget.

Changes

Hydration recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recovery container selection and hydration restart
packages/redact/src/dom/features/hydration/full.ts, .changeset/hydration-provider-ancestry.md
Recovery selects a container based on the failing fiber. It clears and remounts within that container when applicable, while hydration continues outside it. Root renders use normalized children.
Recovery lifecycle and document-shell tests
tests/hydration-recovery-lifecycle.test.tsx, tests/document-hydration.test.tsx
Tests cover recovery across document, element, and nested containers, including provider values, consumer state, subscriptions, cleanup, and document-shell identity. An existing test is renamed to describe shell preservation.
Bundle-size measurements and budget
benchmarks/HYDRATION_RECOVERY.md, benchmarks/results/*hydration-recovery*.json, scripts/size-check.mjs
Benchmark records capture baseline and recovery bundle measurements. The size review documents the measurements, and the DOM API gzip budget increases to 25,282 bytes.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: ladybluenotes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to afa47

Hydration recovery is intended to preserve the surrounding app and document shell while replacing the failed subtree; the supplied tests cover the key recovery and cleanup behaviors. No outstanding merge-blocking issue is identified.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to afa47

The recovery repair preserves application context and contains cleanup to the intended subtree. No introduced security issue was established. Remaining uncertainty concerns independently owned or overlapping rendering roots, which the demonstrated lifecycle coverage does not resolve.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The directly evidenced mutation scope is the application's selected element subtree or root document, plus portals owned by the recovering fiber tree. The inspected base/head comparison does not establish broader DOM-clearing authority introduced by this PR.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The public hydrateRoot interface accepts the application's container, children, and options; it adds no recovery-target argument. Recovery normally derives its target from a bailout fiber. The bailout guard checks for an f property, so it is a structural discriminator rather than an authentication or authorization control.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The demonstrated nested case is a nested DOM host within one rendering root, not an independently mounted nested root. Cleanup traverses the recovering fiber tree, while clearing removes all descendants of the selected DOM container. Cross-root lifecycle ownership and the new shared CLAIMED reset therefore remain coverage gaps, not verified PR-introduced failures.
