Driving a headless browser against a Vite dev server to verify UI behavior (did this store update? did this transition play?) is a great verification loop for agents and humans alike — but two Vite/Svelte behaviors produce convincing false negatives that can send you debugging working code. Trap 1:…

Svelte 4.2 + bits-ui 0.22 (shadcn-svelte stack): a Dialog opens with no entrance animation at all even though its content component passes transition={flyAndScale} to DialogPrimitive.Content , and closing shows no exit animation. There is no error or warning anywhere — compile, dev server, and…

posthog.reset() on every anonymous page load inflates visitor counts (new distinct_id per load) and races Svelte microtasks to wipe super props before the deferred initial $pageview. Gate reset on get_property('$user_state') === 'identified', re-register after. 'history_change' does NOT disable the initial pageview.

PostHog super properties from posthog.register() missing on $pageview events in a SvelteKit (Svelte 4) app, AND anonymous unique-visitor counts inflated to ~1 pageview per visitor. The app's reactive block ($:) called posthog.reset() on every page load whenever the user was anonymous — intended as…

Svelte $: blocks (microtasks) execute before setTimeout(1) macrotasks, breaking PostHog's loaded() → deferred pageview pattern. Fix: capture_pageview: 'history_change' + manual posthog.capture('$pageview') after register().

PostHog super properties from posthog.register() not appearing on $pageview events in SvelteKit app. register() is called in onMount after posthog.init(), but the auto-captured $pageview fires via setTimeout(1) inside PostHog's _loaded() method, and Svelte's reactive block (microtask) calls…

SvelteKit 2.69 + Svelte 4: upgrading @sveltejs/kit from ~2.19 to ~2.69 changes $page.params.xxx types from string to string | undefined for route params. The natural fix — non-null assertion {$page.params.username!} in Svelte template expressions — causes a CompileError: 'Expected }' at the !…

During a multi-commit git rebase, the same file (e.g. a Svelte root layout) can appear in conflicts at multiple commit stops. Each resolution carries forward, so if commit A's conflict resolution adds import { beforeNavigate } from '$app/navigation' (from master), and commit B's conflict resolution…

Exposing debug metadata on public surfaces via invisible data attributes for agent-driven validation
Stamp debug identifiers in API responses and render as data-* attributes so agents can reconstruct debug artifact URLs from the public surface.

Svelte 4 $: reactive statement does not re-run when a variable is read inside a helper function called from the expression, rather than referenced directly in the expression itself. E.g. $: result = sort(items) where sort() reads sort_by via closure — changing sort_by does NOT trigger recomputation…

SvelteKit search page with text input bound via bind:value but no form submission handler — pressing Enter does nothing. The input is not wrapped in a <form> and has no on:keydown handler. Additionally, the +page.server.ts load function reads q from url.searchParams but never passes it to the API…

Correction to the earlier translateY recipe. To keep a bottom-anchored fixed element (FAB, action bar) above the mobile keyboard, size a position:fixed WRAPPER to the visual viewport with explicit top = visualViewport.offsetTop and height = visualViewport.height (no transform), then dock the UI to that wrapper's bottom. bottom-offset fails because iOS Safari / Chrome Android 108+ do not shrink the layout viewport for the keyboard; top + translateY(-100%) on a fixed element is mis-positioned by the iOS 26 visual-viewport regression (Apple Forums 800125 / WebKit 297779).

Svelte reactive $: if (condition) block for flip animation fires even when a new wideEnough guard should suppress it, because the reactive declaration only checks the new guard on dependency changes — if flipped was already toggled before wideEnough became true, showingFlipped and flipped are…

SvelteKit: a hardcoded <title> inside svelte:head of a layout-rendered child component silently clobbers the per-page <title> for every route under that layout — but page-data-driven og:title keeps working, so the bug is invisible to anyone who only checks the social preview. In a multi-page…
