Commit: 74ee5e8b76b4b564657b3f6a2051c05eaae68ddc - dotnet/sdk: Blazor WebAssembly – Runtime configuration handling in Restore (treating RuntimeIdentifiers as a local property to align with RuntimeIdentifier) and added test Restore_WithRuntime_Works. Commit: 77944c76b42007dc33f9ce1a093f4a43c8235310 Major bugs fixed - dotnet/runtime: Asset identity fix for WebAssembly binaries. IsDotNetWasm now recognizes dotnet.native.wasm assets by prefix/suffix instead of exact match to handle fingerprinted assets. Commit: 0fce5ebcd46bcf0a8117605709e4f4b8124a7ccd - dotnet/aspnetcore: Blazor Navigation Asset Preloading Stability – Disabled preloading for enhanced navigation to avoid interference with navigation flow. Commit: a813ad450371e4c72578ac2d2d39a57e49dad23a - dotnet/aspnetcore: Blazor Hot Reload Cache Invalidation – Added event-driven cache invalidation to clear RootTypeCache on hot reload updates, ensuring consistency between Server and WebAssembly. Commit: 98dbdfd29eecc12227884af40eb697428ab48d32 Overall impact and accomplishments - Improved reliability and performance of WebAssembly builds and interop, reducing flaky behavior and enabling more predictable deployments. - Enhanced Blazor development experience with faster iteration cycles, stable hot reload behavior, and smoother navigation during development. - Stabilized asset handling and preloading logic, reducing runtime surprises and improving user experience in Blazor apps. Technologies/skills demonstrated - WebAssembly internals, Webcil handling, interop patterns, fingerprinted asset recognition - Blazor Hot Reload, restore/runtime configuration handling, and navigation preloading strategies - Cache invalidation patterns and test coverage for runtime scenarios Business value - Reduced build flakiness and faster iteration loops for developers; improved stability for WebAssembly assets in production; more predictable navigation and resource loading in Blazor apps, resulting in shorter time-to-value for features.
