Walkthrough

Adds an internal Mosaic routing document. It describes existing navigation and session behavior, lists rendering and compatibility constraints, and outlines proposed routing state, location sources, typed route definitions, and framework adapters. It also records open questions and compares the proposal with PR #9843. The changeset file contains two YAML delimiters without release metadata or a description.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Suggested reviewers: austincalvelage, alexcarpenter

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 7ac3f

This documentation-only change is ready to merge; the empty changeset is accepted by the repository’s CI and release workflows.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description links a Markdown preview of the new routing document and includes a standard contributor checklist. It relates to the changeset, so it passes this lenient check. It does not summarize the document's contents, and the test and build checks are unchecked.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "docs(mosaic): add mosaic routing design doc" matches the changeset. The PR adds packages/mosaic/docs/internals/routing.md, a routing design document for Mosaic, and the title names that change. The title follows a conventional commit prefix (docs) and scope (mosaic). It is short, specific, and free of noise. The changeset file adds only empty YAML delimiters, which is a minor side item and does not change the title's accuracy.

Review comments at @packages/mosaic/docs/internals/routing.md:
- Around line 124-126: Clarify the no-adapter behavior in the routing
documentation: state that server-side rendering requires an adapter, or define a
server-safe fallback for MosaicProvider when no adapter is supplied. Keep the
documented window fallback for client rendering explicit.
- Line 94: Update the routing documentation around `useMosaicRouter.navigate` to
preserve the modal-close side effect when writes use an adapter or
`history.pushState`; ensure the implementation notifies navigation listeners or
otherwise closes modals before adopting this write path.
- Line 20: Update the third-party exit description to distinguish OAuth and SAML
callback routing via redirectUrl from the post-callback destination via
redirectUrlComplete; keep both values in the exit contract without requiring the
host adapter to receive them.
- Around line 39-46: Update the routing documentation around the `setActive`
navigation flow to clarify that waiting for navigation to finish requires
`RouterFn` to return a completion promise; a synchronous return may let
`Clerk.navigate` resolve and Session B be published before asynchronous
navigation completes. Label the existing page sequence as the
awaitable-navigation case.

+  - For `virtual` this is a value in memory
+- Use framework adapter state over `window` if it exists
+  - So our segment and the host page change in the same commit
+- Writes go through the adapter if there is one, otherwise `history.pushState`

Preserve the clerk.navigate modal-close side effect.

useMosaicRouter.navigate delegates to clerk.navigate, which fires navigation listeners that close modals. The proposed adapter and history.pushState writes bypass that call. Define an equivalent notification or close operation before adopting this write path.
