fix(router-core): complete lane match loader rewrite

[Sheraff]

Summary

This is a stacked follow-up to #7805 that brings the lane match-loader rewrite to its reviewed final state.

• consolidates client navigation, preload adoption, background reloads, hydration handoff, and render acknowledgement around transactional lanes
• keeps beforeLoad context lane-owned while retaining loader cache reuse by match identity
• preserves SSR loader and beforeLoad results during hydration, including selective SSR continuation
• exposes complete presentation lanes while rendering only through the active pending or terminal boundary
• simplifies lifecycle ordering to leave-first, with no public relative ordering contract between enter and stay
• removes unreachable-state defenses, legacy runtime authorities, and obsolete SSR match-ID machinery
• updates React, Solid, Vue, Start integrations, public documentation, architecture documentation, and behavior-level regression coverage

Additional fixes

The follow-up review pass also:

• adds a minimal, collision-safe dehydrated match identity to validate an SSR prefix before hydration adopts it, including reserved-character round trips, longer server lanes, root global not-found lanes, and ancestor-capped fuzzy URLs
• makes hydration reconstruction a cancellable preflight and rejects stale handoffs after the location, history state, router context, route tree, or accepted prefix identity changes
• preserves the complete structural lane for route context and head hooks without granting unresolved or terminal descendants hydration execution authority
• retries hydration from the earliest failed lazy chunk without waiting for irrelevant descendants, while preserving transported data and terminal errors that remain authoritative
• observes already-rejected and late promises during cancellation, propagates abort reasons, and avoids unhandled rejections
• centralizes SSR stream cleanup across request aborts, pending render callbacks, middleware replacement or failure, redirects, HEAD responses, and late response handoff, with exactly-once ownership
• moves HMR lazy-chunk replacement into the live router owner so a stale dynamic import cannot overwrite freshly hot-reloaded route options
• resets global React, Solid, and Vue catch boundaries when a newly committed background child generation recovers from a render error
• fixes the preload redirect boundary so a twenty-hop chain completes and only the following hop is rejected
• removes duplicate or unused HMR refresh and Start disposal paths and shares hydration's existing navigation closure

Bundle size

Final production output compared with main:

• React Router: 27–59 gzip bytes smaller and 3.9–4.1 KB smaller raw
• Solid Router: 454–583 gzip bytes smaller and 5.4–5.7 KB smaller raw
• Vue Router: 663–669 gzip bytes smaller and 6.0–6.3 KB smaller raw
• every measured Router/Start output is 3.9–6.6 KB smaller raw

Three React Start scenarios fluctuate by +14, +19, and +84 gzip bytes despite being 4.2–4.5 KB smaller raw.

The additional review fixes were simplified against their first correct implementation, reducing the 17-scenario matrix by another 629 raw bytes, 200 gzip bytes, and 362 brotli bytes. Sixteen gzip scenarios are neutral or smaller; vue-router.minimal is the sole exception at +3 gzip bytes while still being 24 raw bytes and 68 brotli bytes smaller.

Validation

• Router Core unit and type suites
• React Router unit and type suites
• Solid Router unit and type suites
• affected lint and type graphs
• selective-SSR E2E suite, including server/client loader and beforeLoad behavior
• production bundle-size matrix
• Prettier and git diff --check
• Start Server Core and Router Plugin unit suites
• focused hydration-currentness, SSR cleanup, HMR lazy-owner, and React/Solid/Vue boundary-recovery regressions
• uncached 17-scenario production bundle-size matrix

Two Vue redirect cases remain best-effort and are intentionally not blocking this review. One search-validator adapter suite also fails locally because its generated test setup resolves an absolute dependency path from another worktree rather than because of router behavior.

Current gzip tracks all emitted client JS chunks. Initial gzip tracks only the entry/import graph. Trend sparkline is historical current gzip ending with this PR measurement; lower is better.
