First kit fix I ever wrote, it's been sitting on my machine because I wasn't confident enough to post it.

preloadCode throws when called during initial page load because current.url is null until hydration completes, so new URL(pathname, current.url) rejects the relative path. If the call happens in a load function, the throw takes the whole page down with a 500. Falling back to location.href covers that window. Same diagnosis I posted in the issue thread.

The new test calls preloadCode from a universal load during initial load. It fails on main and passes with this.

Fixes #13297


Please don't delete this checklist! Before submitting the PR, please make sure you do the following:

  • It's really useful if your PR references an issue where it is discussed ahead of time. In many cases, features are absent for a reason. For large changes, please create an RFC: https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs
  • This message body should clearly illustrate what problems it solves.
  • Ideally, include a test that fails without this PR but passes with it.

Tests

  • Run the tests with pnpm test and lint the project with pnpm lint and pnpm check

Changesets

  • If your PR makes a change that should be noted in one or more packages' changelogs, generate a changeset by running pnpm changeset and following the prompts. Changesets that add features should be minor and those that fix bugs should be patch. Please prefix changeset messages with feat:, fix:, or chore:.

Edits

  • Please ensure that 'Allow edits from maintainers' is checked. PRs without this option may be closed.

`preloadCode` resolves its argument with `new URL(pathname, current.url)`,
but `current.url` is null until the first navigation/hydration completes, so
calling it during initial load (e.g. from a universal `load`) threw
`Failed to construct 'URL': Invalid base URL`. Fall back to `location.href`
when `current.url` isn't set yet.

- fix: preserve active `for await` consumers across `query.live` reconnects ([#&#8203;16022](sveltejs/kit#16022))

- fix: allow `preloadCode` to be called during initial page load ([#&#8203;16028](sveltejs/kit#16028))

- fix: preserve the HTTP status and error body when a remote function request fails in transport (e.g. a 401/403 from a `handle` hook), instead of reporting a generic 500 ([#&#8203;16021](sveltejs/kit#16021))

- fix: avoid loading universal nodes during build analysis when the app uses a hash router ([#&#8203;16042](sveltejs/kit#16042))
