Description

Goal

Expose global navigation-blocking state so an application can render one shared confirmation UI for blockers registered elsewhere.

Scope

  • Preserve the existing BlockerFn and custom history contract, or provide a deliberate compatible migration path.
  • Define global state and actions for a pending blocked navigation.
  • Define behavior for multiple blockers and repeated navigation attempts.
  • Support browser back/forward and programmatic navigation.
  • Keep React, Solid, and Vue behavior aligned.
  • Add unit and E2E coverage for proceed, reset, proceed-all behavior, back/forward, multiple blockers, repeated attempts, and cleanup.
  • Document the public API and action semantics.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing BlockerFn and custom history contract, then read the work referenced in #4398. Define the global state and actions for blocked navigation across React, Solid, and Vue, and add the listed unit, E2E, and documentation coverage; done means proceed, reset, proceed-all, history navigation, repeated attempts, multiple blockers, and cleanup are covered.
