What

The top loading bar didn't track navigation in the TanStack Start admin (unlike Next.js). Two issues:

  1. It only flashed to 100% instead of showing progress during the load.
  2. Even after fixing (1), the bar stayed invisible for fast client navigations — the anti-flicker delay swallowed it entirely.

Why

  • Transition flipped early: TanStack's router runs its own internal React transition, so the shared optimistic isTransitioning flag flipped back to false before the destination view finished loading.
  • Anti-flicker delay swallowed fast navs: the progress bar had a 150ms initial delay before appearing. TanStack navigations to already-loaded data finish faster than that, so the bar never crossed the visibility threshold — only an imperceptible 100% flash at the tail. (On Next.js dev every navigation does a server round-trip well over 150ms, which is why it looked fine there.)

Fix

  • The adapter's push/replace now return the router.navigate() promise, and startRouteTransition returns it from the transition so React keeps the transition — and isTransitioning — pending until navigation settles. No-op for Next.js (its router methods return void).
  • The progress bar now shows an immediate visible starting value and stays on screen for a guaranteed minimum duration once a navigation starts, so every navigation renders a real bar regardless of how fast it completes. Slow navigations still track progress as before, and the spurious 100% flash on initial mount is gone.

Tests

Enables the previously-flaky (test.fixme) progress bar e2e test — the guaranteed minimum visible duration removes the timing dependency that made it flaky, so its network-throttling workaround is dropped.

…gation

TanStack's router drives its own internal React transition, so the shared
optimistic `isTransitioning` flag flipped back before the new view loaded —
the top progress bar only flashed to 100% instead of tracking the navigation.
Return the `router.navigate()` promise from the adapter's push/replace and let
`startRouteTransition` await it, keeping the bar visible until navigation
settles. No-op for Next.js, whose router methods return void.

…vigations

The 150ms anti-flicker delay swallowed the bar entirely for very fast
client navigations (e.g. TanStack routing to already-loaded data), so it
only flashed to 100% at the tail. Replace the delay with an immediate
visible starting value plus a guaranteed minimum on-screen duration, so
every navigation shows a real progress bar while slow navigations still
track progress. Also skips the spurious 100% flash on initial mount.

Enables the previously-flaky progress bar e2e test, whose flakiness this
fixes, and drops its network-throttling workaround.
The router adapter's push/replace now return `Promise<void> | void`, so
fire-and-forget call sites triggered no-floating-promises. Mark them with
the void operator; call sites that need the navigation promise (Link,
startRouteTransition) already return it.
