The console shipped as one 1.19 MB script (355 kB gzip), and every build warned that it was over Vite's 500 kB chunk limit. All twelve pages loaded on first paint. So did the New task and New project sheets and the form library behind them, even though a visitor might open none of them.

Each page now loads as its own chunk, and the two shell sheets load right after the shell mounts. The first load drops to 831 kB of script (264 kB gzip), 30% less, and no chunk crosses the limit. The limit itself is unchanged.

Before After
Largest chunk 1,186.6 kB 433.0 kB
Initial script, raw 1,186.6 kB 831.2 kB
Initial script, gzip 354.8 kB 263.8 kB

The rest of the initial payload is code the shell needs at first paint: react-dom (199 KiB), zod for the contract schemas (90 KiB), Base UI's dialog, popover, and menu, and the router and query libraries.

Splitting created one PWA risk, which this PR closes. After you apply an update in one tab, the other tabs stay on the old build, but Workbox has already evicted that build's precache. A chunk those tabs had not fetched yet would now 404. So once the console is idle, it loads every split chunk, and an open tab keeps its whole build in memory as it did with one bundle. If a page chunk still goes missing, TanStack's reload-once handling covers it. If a sheet fails to load, the shell stays up and retries on the next open.

Verification:

  • bun run verify, test:pwa (2/2), and test:host (7/7, including the container) pass.
  • A Playwright smoke run against the built host with a scratch data dir passed:
    • All 36 split chunks loaded with status 200 within about 3 seconds.
    • Every page rendered with no console errors.
    • Both sheets open with their transition (data-starting-style), take focus, and close cleanly.
  • An Opus review found two problems in the lazy sheet: a failed load took down the whole shell, and the first open skipped its transition. Both are fixed in the second commit.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance
    • Console pages now load separately, reducing the initial script size from 1,187 kB to 831 kB (355 kB to 264 kB compressed).
    • New task and New project sheets load when first opened; remaining console content loads while the console is idle.
    • An idle tab keeps its current build when another tab applies an update.

The console now loads route pages and selected sheets as separate chunks. It registers route loaders for shared warm-up and schedules registered chunks after mount, using idle time when available or a timeout fallback. Failed loads can be retried. The release note reports initial script-size figures.

Changes: Console chunk loading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Chunk warm-up utilities
packages/host/src/lib/chunk-warmup.ts, packages/host/src/test/chunk-warmup.test.ts
Added registered loaders that share pending loads, clear failed loads for retries, and suppress warm-up failures. Warming runs during idle time when supported, or after a 1,000 ms timeout. Tests cover shared loads, retry behavior, and failed warm-up handling.
Route chunk loading
packages/host/src/router.tsx, packages/host/src/start-router.tsx, .changes/mmr-583.md
Route page components now use lazy route loaders backed by warmable imports. ClientConsole schedules registered chunk loading after mount. The release note reports chunk sizes and loading behavior.
Lazy sheet loading
packages/host/src/components/lazy-sheet.tsx, packages/host/src/components/jump-palette.tsx, packages/host/src/components/project-picker.tsx, packages/host/src/test/lazy-sheet.test.tsx
Added lazySheet and used it for AuthoringSheet and NewProjectSheet. Tests cover loading, rendering, load sharing, failures, retries, and closing an open sheet after a failed load.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c83d8

An open console tab can miss the chance to load its chunks before an update, and a missing New task or New project sheet may remain unavailable until the user reloads. Address both paths before merging unless that limited update-time risk is accepted.

… idle (MMR-583)

Each route page loads through lazyRouteComponent, and the shell's New task
and New project sheets load on first open, so the initial script drops from
1,187 kB to 831 kB (355 to 264 kB gzip) and no chunk crosses Vite's 500 kB
warning. An idle warm-up loads every split chunk, so a tab left on an old
build after another tab applies an update never requests an evicted chunk.
…d load (MMR-583)

A sheet that mounted already open skipped Base UI's starting transition,
and a rejected React.lazy import failed the whole shell. The sheet now loads
when the shell mounts, mounts closed, and retries a failed load on its next
open.
