A child loader is started before its parent route data is available · case 01

A child loader is started before its parent route data is available.

ROOT CAUSE

The faulty implementation violates A route loader starts only after its immediate parent data is resolved; settled loaders do not restart, and siblings preserve declaration order.

VERIFIED REPAIR

A route loader starts only after its immediate parent data is resolved; settled loaders do not restart, and siblings preserve declaration order.

Unsuccessful approach: The partial repair still violates at least one explicit regression oracle.

Case contract

A route loader starts only after its immediate parent data is resolved; settled loaders do not restart, and siblings preserve declaration order.

Why this case matters

A bounded offline client-state transition with explicit lifecycle inputs.

Verification & scope

This models the stated application policy only; no browser or framework conformance is claimed. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
