Description

See code comments for an in-depth explanation.

I hit this bug when working on the url routing modes, path mode wouldn't work and instead freeze forever since Next navigations runs in transitions, something I've warned <Freeze> is not going to work well with.

We rely on that component so much at this point so this is my swing at trying to make it as concurrency-compatible as we can. The options are probably a huge rewrite or removing exit animations which both feel bad.

It might be the hackiest thing I've ever written (which is saying quite a lot).

Walkthrough

Freeze now tracks held content with a per-instance flag and suspension promise, and uses insertion and layout effects to acknowledge and release holds. Tests cover transitions, scheduling, effects, refreezing, StrictMode, unmounting, nested freezes, and controlled Tabs updates. The changeset file adds empty YAML front matter.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Suggested reviewers: alexcarpenter, austincalvelage

Merge Risk: Low · up to 34b66

This fixes Freeze so it works with React transitions. An uncommon case remains: an urgent update to content inside a closing popup while a transition is pending could briefly show the wrong content. Two new tests would also not catch regressions in the hold behavior. These are bounded follow-ups and do not block merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: adding transition support to the Freeze component in mosaic. The raw summary confirms that freeze.tsx now uses a per-instance flag store and promise to handle React transitions, and that tests cover transition scenarios. The title follows the conventional commit format and is 56 characters long.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the motivation. Next.js navigations run in transitions, and the Freeze component froze URL routing in path mode. It states the author's approach to make Freeze compatible with concurrency. It is related to the changeset, so the lenient check passes. The template comments and unchecked checklist do not add meaningful detail, but they do not make the description off-topic.

Matches Freeze flipped inside a transition no longer hangs

Tested on 603b8cde, untouched since — Before, the tab switch inside startTransition never committed and stayed pending. After, it committed at once and the leaving Account panel kept its old content through the exit animation.

Assert that the held frame is visible.

toBeInTheDocument() passes when React leaves Acme in a hidden Suspense subtree. This transition test can therefore pass when users cannot see the frame it claims to hold. Assert visibility here and in the other new held-frame checks; the existing visibility tests cover synchronous freezing, not this transition path. As per coding guidelines, “Query like a user (roles, labels, text), assert outcomes (the screen, navigate, what FAPI now holds).” (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Establish that the hold starts before testing its cancellation.

Both clicks occur inside one async act callback. In the repository’s React 18.3.1 test version, act flushes queued work after that callback resolves; await Promise.resolve() does not make the transition render first. This test can pass without calling flag.request() before “thaw now.” The following tick test has the same gap. Use a controlled signal that confirms the hold request before issuing the urgent update.
