🎯 Changes

Fixes #8786.

createBrowserHistory's flush cleared next only after the native pushState / replaceState call. If that call threw once (an extension or third-party script wrapping history, or the browser refusing the update), next stayed set, so every later queueHistoryAction saw a pending action and never scheduled a flush again. The router kept navigating, but the address bar stayed on the old URL until a reload. _ignoreSubscribers also stayed true.

Clear the queued action before the native call and reset _ignoreSubscribers in finally. The error still propagates as before; it now affects only that one navigation. Coalescing is unchanged.

Validation:

• New regression test makes a scheduled flush throw, then checks that the next push schedules and writes its URL and that external pushes notify subscribers again. It fails before the fix and passes after; all 134 history tests pass.
• pnpm test:eslint, pnpm test:types (ts56, ts60, ts70), Prettier, git diff --check.
• Reproduced on tanstack.com with the console snippet from createBrowserHistory: one throwing pushState freezes the address bar for the rest of the session #8786; the same change, shipped as a pnpm patch in our apps, keeps the address bar in sync.

📝 Walkthrough

The browser history flush clears pending state before calling the native history method. If that call throws, the flush refreshes the cached location, restores subscriber notifications, and rethrows the error. Regression tests cover later navigation and subscriber updates.

Explanation

The description follows the required template. It explains the change and motivation, checks all checklist items, documents validation, discloses AI assistance, and includes the required changeset information.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #8786 requires one failed pushState or replaceState call to affect only that navigation. createBrowserHistory.flush now clears the queued action and rollback location before the native call. A finally block restores _ignoreSubscribers. The code refreshes the cached location and rethrows the error when the native call fails. The added tests verify later scheduling, URL updates, history index behavior, subscriber notifications, location recovery, and popstate handling.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes stay within issue #8786. The source change fixes queue recovery and subscriber state. The tests cover the reported failure and recovery behavior. The @tanstack/history patch changeset documents the published fix. No unrelated changes are shown.

Remove the pre-flush index assertion.

This assertion fails in the normal history test suite. The history package runs its tests with vitest, and the PR workflow runs the affected test:unit target. This failure therefore blocks the repository's pull-request test workflow.

Suggested fix

       history.push('/first')
-      expect(history.location.state.__TSR_index).toBe(1)
       expect(() => tasks.shift()!()).toThrow('refused')
