Commit e14532f7bf12b316711e975a91a1c135f6b98de1 (refs #38330). No major routing-related bugs fixed this month; changes validated against existing tests and review processes to ensure stability.

November 2025 monthly summary for MetaMask/metamask-extension focused on routing modernization and UI stability. Key features delivered include migrating app routing to a React Router v5-compat API across core pages, standardizing navigate usage, and refactoring related components and tests to improve navigation reliability and maintainability. This work spanned multiple areas (ui/pages/bridge, pages/swaps, unlock, deeplink, defi page, confirmation and settings, multichain), implemented via six commits to migrate to v5-compat and related navigation updates. Major bug fixes addressed UI regressions on confirmation screens by restoring the LegacyLayout wrapper and related layout properties, implemented in two commits. Overall impact includes more predictable navigation, reduced risk of regressions, and a solid foundation for future router upgrades, enabling faster feature delivery and improved user experience. Technologies/skills demonstrated include React, React Router v5-compat migration, code refactoring for navigation, UI regression debugging, and maintainability-focused commits.

Concise monthly summary for 2025-10 focusing on routing migration and basePath fix in MetaMask extension.

Monthly summary for Sep 2025 focusing on routing stability and migration in MetaMask extension. Implemented Router compatibility updates across the app to align with React Router v6, ensuring navigation and onboarding flows remain intact after the upgrade. This involved updating imports, replacing useHistory with useNavigate, and migrating routing constructs from Switch to Routes, with targeted alignment to v5-compat where necessary for onboarding and settings screens. The work mitigates regression risk introduced by router changes and preserves user navigation behavior across core experiences.

August 2025: Routing Compatibility Upgrade for MetaMask extension completed, enabling React Router v6 while preserving backward compatibility with v5-compat. Implemented with-router-hooks HOC for class components and migrated key navigation flows to v5-compat routing. This work establishes a stable migration path for routing upgrades and reduces future upgrade risk.
