fix(web): a chunk that fails after boot no longer reloads the page in a loop#29306
Problem
When a chunk loaded after boot fails on every visit, the web app reloads forever. On a managed Windows machine that blocks the code highlighter chunk, any thread with a fenced code block (and Settings → Appearance) reloaded about every 2 s. Details and server trace in #29304.
The t3code:chunk-load-reloaded guard allows one reload, but main.tsx clears it after every boot without a startup chunk failure. A lazy chunk fails after that, so every boot gets a fresh reload.
Change
- The guard stores
APP_VERSIONinstead of"1"and is no longer cleared at boot. Each tab reloads automatically at most once per app version; a tab on a different version can reload again. - After that reload, a failure surfaces as it already did after the first reload: route chunks reach the error boundary, code blocks fall back to plain text.
Trade-off: once a version has used its reload in a tab, a later chunk failure on that version (a second dropped request, or a stale chunk after a deploy) shows the route or boot error, both of which offer a reload. A time window like bootError.ts uses would instead reload every few minutes when a chunk always fails.
This touches the same listener as #26451. I'll rebase on it if it lands first.
Scope and approval
Fixes #29304. Small fix for an obvious bug: the guard exists to stop a reload loop and doesn't for chunks loaded after boot.
Verification

On main the second boot reloads again (expected "location.reload" to not be called at all, but actually been called 1 times).src/lib/chunkReloadGuard.test.ts: a new version reloads again (fails on main), the same version doesn't, blocked storage never reloads.vp test run src/main.test.ts src/lib/chunkReloadGuard.test.ts,vp linton the changed files andvp run typecheckinapps/webpass.- Manual, on the affected Chrome, with the built
main-*.jsof 0.1.7-nightly.20261102.4066 patched with the same guard: a thread that looped (8 document loads in about 10 s in the server trace) now loads, reloads once, then shows its code block as plain text and stays put (one extra document load in the server trace). - Not checked: why the chunk fails on that machine, and the desktop app.
Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#29304
Checks
Approvability
Verdict: Approved at 7c1207e
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Chunk-load recovery now permits at most one automatic reload per five-minute window, rather than resetting the guard after startup. This narrowly scoped recovery change prevents repeated reloads without altering normal application behavior.

After one reload for a version, a failure to load a startup chunk can leave the page blank with no recovery option. Later lazy-chunk failures now fall back to the error boundary instead of looping, which is the intended fix. Handle the startup failure path before merging, or explicitly accept it.

Explanation
The title "fix(web): a chunk that fails after boot no longer reloads the page in a loop" describes the main change. The changeset makes the chunk reload guard store APP_VERSION, stops clearing it at boot, and removes clearChunkReloadGuard, so a chunk that fails after boot reloads at most once per app version. The title is specific, follows conventional commit style, and is a single sentence.
Full details: Description check
-
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections with substantive content. The Problem section explains the reload loop and the guard behavior. The Change section lists the guard update and the trade-off. The Scope section links issue
#29304and explains why no separate approval is needed for this small fix. The Verification section lists the focused tests, lint and typecheck runs, a manual check with before and after results, and items not checked. The description does not state the model and harness used, which the template asks for when an agent did the work. The description also does not include a UI screenshot. The change does not alter visible UI layout, and the manual check describes the observed behavior in text.

Explanation
Issue
#29304requires that a chunk loaded after boot that fails on every request must not reload the page in a loop. At head 8cd53a5,reloadOnceForChunkLoadErrorinapps/web/src/lib/chunkReloadGuard.tsstores the build identifier (defaultimport.meta.env.APP_VERSION) undert3code:chunk-load-reloaded. It reloads only when the stored value differs from the current build. The guard is no longer cleared at boot:clearChunkReloadGuardis removed andmain.tsxno longer calls it. A second failure on the same build therefore does not reload. Route chunks then reach the error boundary, and code blocks fall back to plain text, as the issue describes.main.test.tscovers two boots sharing session storage with a failing lazy chunk, expecting one reload in total.chunkReloadGuard.test.tscovers a new build reloading again, the same build not reloading, and blocked storage not reloading. The reviewed evidence supports the fix. The cause of the chunk block on the reporter's machine is outside the issue scope.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
-
Explanation
The changed files are
chunkReloadGuard.ts,chunkReloadGuard.test.ts,main.tsx, andmain.test.ts. Each one directly supports the reload-loop fix. The guard keys on build identifier, boot no longer clears it, and the tests cover the new behavior. Removing the exportedclearChunkReloadGuardhelper follows from removing boot-time clearing. The changes do not alter unrelated product behavior. The PR description's trade-off (one reload per build per tab, later failures show an error with a reload option) is a stated design choice tied to the issue, not an unrelated change.

Re-arm the guard when the served asset set changes.
CURRENT_BUILD is compiled into the page. If build A records a reload, a page that remains open on A across a deployment keeps both CURRENT_BUILD and the session guard at A. A later missing lazy chunk therefore makes reloadOnceForChunkLoadError() return false, so main.tsx does not schedule another reload.
The failure can still reach the route error boundary because the handler only calls event.preventDefault() for the first reload. The issue is the loss of automatic refresh, not another infinite reload loop.
Re-arm the guard with a marker from the currently served assets or with a bounded retry window. Test a page that remains open across a deployment. Built development rebuilds also need coverage because hashed assets can change while APP_VERSION remains pkg.version.

Right, that's the trade-off noted in the description: once a version has used its reload in a tab, a later stale chunk on that version shows the route error, which offers a reload, instead of reloading automatically. A time window brings back periodic reloads when a chunk always fails, which is the bug here. Comparing with the served assets would cover it but adds an index fetch and its own failure modes, so I kept this fix small; happy to add it if maintainers want it. Same for local rebuilds that keep pkg.version: they get one automatic reload per tab.
@grodriguez-fr You're right. The one-reload-per-version limit is an explicit trade-off, not a defect in this fix. A retry window could restore periodic reloads for a persistent chunk failure, which conflicts with #29304.
I withdraw this finding. Detecting served-asset changes is an optional enhancement, not a requirement for this PR. Would you like a follow-up issue for that enhancement?

native electron, ios, android, macos, and windows clients were not exercised on this linux vm. the original managed-windows blocking policy was reproduced by blocking the actual network request, not by running that policy. a live deployment changing the app version, storage-disabled browsers, remote relay/tunnel connections, and other providers were not exercised; changed-version and storage-failure behavior passed the focused tests.

🤖 Sonnet 5.5 responding on behalf of Guillaume (@grodriguez-fr)
@juliusmarminge pr:gate-failed was added on Nov 2 and I can't tell which gate it refers to: CI is green on the current head (fb1dd85), Macroscope approved, and the only review thread is resolved. Which gate failed, and what should change for it to pass?
If it's the one-reload-per-version trade-off described in the PR body, I can add the served-assets comparison, or rebase on #26451 if that's the blocker.

Handle boot-time chunk failures after the reload guard is consumed.
After one reload for an APP_VERSION, reloadOnceForChunkLoadError() returns false, so reloadScheduled stays false. If the managedAuthShellModule import rejects with a chunk-load error, the .catch in apps/web/src/main.tsx rethrows. The ReactDOM.createRoot(...).render(...) call is never reached. AppRoot, its route error boundary, and its reload option do not mount. The page shows no recovery UI, and the failure surfaces only as an unhandled rejection of startup.
The PR describes later failures on the same version as showing an error with a reload option. That holds for route chunks that fail after boot. It does not hold for these startup dependencies, because their failures occur before the app tree mounts.
A correct fix needs a design decision for the startup fallback. The inspected code does not establish that decision, so this comment does not propose a patch.

Decide and implement a startup fallback in the managedAuthShellModule import and startup flow that presents an error with a reload option when reloadOnceForChunkLoadError() declines another reload, while preserving the existing one-reload-per-APP_VERSION behavior. 5 6 After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local review.

Evidence
Production web client served by t3 serve; Chromium, 1280×800 CSS viewport, light theme, identical synthetic replay history and fresh tab session storage.
Steps: persistently withhold the actual generated highlighter chunk, open the existing fenced-code thread, observe for at least 16 seconds, manually reload once, observe for at least six seconds, and type an unsent draft. The missing chunk URL returns HTML, which Chromium rejects as a JavaScript module. The badge counts full document loads.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| 359daaf367 | eb54b1eb16 |
| Watch repeated reloads | Watch one automatic reload and stable revisit |
| Before: frame during reload loop, document load 66 | After: plain-text code and usable composer after manual revisit |
| 37 document loads before the manual reload; 67 by the end, still reloading. | Two document loads after automatic recovery; three after the manual reload, then stable. |
The recording is the primary before evidence because the reload loop prevents a settled still. The head still was checked against a second capture and was pixel-identical.
Reproduction scripts and browser steps
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not shown:
- The DevTools request-blocking UI was not exercised; persistent module failure was induced by withholding the actual generated highlighter asset, producing an HTML fallback response.
- Renewing the recovery allowance after an app-version change was not exercised; both builds reported version 0.1.9.
