Description

Makes the project board and the work item peek load faster on slower connections, mostly by removing duplicate requests and by starting requests that gate rendering earlier. Details and measurements in #9983.

  • layouts/auth-layout/project-wrapper.tsx
    • Role-dependent project data is fetched only once the project role is known. The role is undefined for ~40 ms after mount; every SWR key contains it, so all project data was fetched twice (22 → 11 requests on a board load). Without a role the wrapper shows the access restriction anyway, so nothing is lost.
    • Cycles, modules, views and intake data are skipped when the feature is off for the project (flags from the workspace's project list; the request is made as soon as a feature is turned on).
    • On the work items page, the display filters are preloaded (same SWR key as project-layout-root.tsx) together with the project details instead of after them. Only on the first mount, so client-side navigation does not make a duplicate request.
  • lib/wrappers/instance-wrapper.tsx: the current user is fetched together with the instance info (preload("USER_INFORMATION"), consumed by AuthenticationWrapper), and on a project URL the project details right after the user is known. Signed-out visitors: fetchCurrentUser calls /users/me/ without the 401 redirect and makes no other request; the project request is not made either.
  • kanban/block.tsx: the peek overview is preloaded while the pointer rests on a card for 120 ms, with the same SWR key as peek-overview/root.tsx, so the peek opens without waiting. Off on mobile, for epics and for temporary items; the delay keeps a pointer that only crosses the board from making requests.
  • kanban/base-kanban-root.tsx: 100 work items per group (was 30, like the list layout's ungrouped page), so a typical board loads in one request.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Improvement (change that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Code refactoring
  • Performance improvements
  • Documentation update

Screenshots and Media (if applicable)

Measured with Playwright from a client ~200 ms away from a self-hosted v1.4.2 instance (same server for both builds; assets cached):

v1.4.2 with this change
Board: cards visible after reload (median of 10) 2.88 s 1.95 s
Peek: title visible after click, 300 ms hover first (median of 16) 0.85 s 0.27 s
Project-level requests on a board load (cycles/modules/views/intake off) 22 7

Test Scenarios

The change was written and measured on v1.4.2 (where we run it in production since 2026-10-11) and then applied to preview without conflicts.

  • On preview: pnpm turbo run check:types --filter=web, oxlint --deny-warnings and oxfmt --check on the changed files, and pnpm turbo run build --filter=web all pass.
  • On v1.4.2 against a live instance: board, work item page (/browse/…), project settings, pages list and workspace home render without new console errors; peek opens with and without hover; signed out, a board URL still ends on the login page with next_path (no redirect loop); the request timeline shows each project request once.
  • No unit tests are added: the changes are in how components start SWR requests. Happy to add tests if you can point me to the preferred way to test SWR-driven wrappers.

Closes #9983

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Kanban boards without subgrouping now load up to 100 issues per group at a time, up from 30.
  • Performance Improvements
    • Issue previews begin loading when you hover over an eligible card, helping them appear sooner when opened.
    • User and project information, filters, and related views can load ahead of time, helping relevant pages and details appear sooner.

- Project wrapper: fetch role-dependent project data only once the project role is known. The role is
  undefined for ~40 ms after mount (until the workspace's project roles arrive); every SWR key contains
  it, so all project data (labels, members, states, estimates, cycles, modules, views, intake, member
  preferences) was fetched twice on every project page load.
- Project wrapper: skip cycles, modules, views and intake data when that feature is turned off for the
  project (the flags come with the workspace's project list).
- Project wrapper: on the work items page, preload the display filters together with the project
  details; the layout root asked for them only after the project details had loaded.
- Instance wrapper: fetch the current user together with the instance info, and on a project page the
  project details as soon as the user is known (signed-out visitors: /users/me/ is called without the
  401 redirect, the project request is not made).
- Kanban block: preload the peek overview while the pointer rests on a card (120 ms), with the same SWR
  key as the peek overview, so the peek opens without waiting for the request.
- Kanban: 100 work items per group (was 30), as the list layout loads ungrouped.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add preloads for current-user, project, issue-filter, and issue peek-overview data. They gate project requests on role, project availability, and feature flags. The initial kanban issue limit increases to 100 per group when subgrouping is absent.

Changes

Project data loading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Initial user and project preloads
apps/web/lib/wrappers/instance-wrapper.tsx
On first mount, InstanceWrapper preloads current-user data. On matching project routes, it preloads project details after the user request resolves.
Project request gating and issue-filter preload
apps/web/layouts/auth-layout/project-wrapper.tsx, apps/web/components/issues/issue-layouts/roots/project-layout-root.tsx
ProjectAuthWrapper preloads issue filters on project issue routes. Role-dependent requests wait for the project role, and intake-state, cycle, module, and view requests also require the project and their feature flags.
Kanban issue and peek loading
apps/web/components/issues/issue-layouts/kanban/base-kanban-root.tsx, apps/web/components/issues/issue-layouts/kanban/block.tsx
The initial issue limit is 100 per group without subgrouping and remains 10 with subgrouping. KanbanIssueBlock schedules peek-overview preloading after a 120 ms pointer entry and clears the timer when the pointer leaves.

- Around line 101-102: Update the preload call in ProjectAuthWrapper so it does
not start a second fetchFilters request when ProjectLayoutRoot mounts
immediately and its useSWR hook starts the request; skip preloading in that case
or coordinate both through the same request path.

Comment thread apps/web/layouts/auth-layout/project-wrapper.tsx Outdated
When the project details are cached, ProjectAuthWrapper renders the layout root at once and its useSWR
already requests the filters (a child effect runs before the parent's); the preload then made a second
request for the same key. Preload only while the children are not rendered yet.
