The question

The move to the current major version of the hypermedia library took only what the upgrade forced: the breaking changes. The version also brought features that could replace patterns the console maintains by hand. Each is an adoption with consequences for how a page behaves, not a cleanup, and none of them blocks anything, so the question is which of them the console commits to and where.

What depends on the answer

Whether the pages that poll keep replacing whole regions, and whether the list scaffold keeps synchronising its regions through out-of-band selection. Answering it once avoids each page's next author deciding privately.

Options known so far

Morphing swaps, which update a region in place: the polling regions on product readiness and on domain claim status replace their whole region today and throw away focus and scroll position while a person is reading.
Multi-target responses, an alternative to the list scaffold's out-of-band synchronisation, with each region named explicitly by the response.
The streaming extensions, if any surface ever wants live updates; the activity feed on the operator overview is the obvious candidate.
Link preloading on hover for the rail.

Decided when

Each candidate is accepted with the surface it lands on or declined, and the design system records which patterns the console uses for polling, for multi-region updates and for navigation.
