From 9c64d1d9290ac9c4f99209e99d913a65e7443fda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: giles Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 09:25:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix stepper preview flash: render lake on client, screenshot-based test MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Root cause: the lake had (when (not (client?)) ...) guard — SSR rendered "the joy of sx" preview but client skipped it. replaceChildren swapped in an empty lake. The rebuild-preview effect was skipped (first-run optimization), so the preview stayed blank for ~500ms. Fix: remove the client? guard so the lake renders on both server and client. The template's steps-to-preview produces the initial preview. The effect only fires on subsequent step changes (not first run). Test: replaced MutationObserver approach with screenshot comparison. Loads page with JS blocked (pure SSR), takes screenshot. Loads with JS (hydration), takes screenshot. Compares pixels. Any visual difference fails the test. Result: "No visual flash: screenshots identical" — passes.
