📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workspace route now checks projects during asynchronous route loading. At the workspace root, exactly one project redirects to its board. Other paths and project counts keep the existing navigation.

Changes

Workspace landing redirect

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workspace root redirect
apps/web/src/routes/_layout/_authenticated/dashboard/workspace/$workspaceId.tsx
The route fetches workspace projects at the normalized root path. It redirects exactly-one-project workspaces to the project board and replaces the current history entry.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bdf84

Workspaces with multiple projects and a configured default project will remain on the workspace page instead of being redirected to that project, so the intended navigation behavior is incomplete and should be corrected before merging.

AI Description

• Redirect /dashboard/workspace/:workspaceId to the project board when the workspace has a single
 project
• Fetch workspace projects during route beforeLoad and redirect only on exact workspace root path
• Use replace: true to avoid adding an extra history entry

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Persist a defaultProjectId on the workspace (server-driven redirect)
  • ➕ Eliminates an extra list-projects request on initial workspace navigation
  • ➕ Keeps redirect logic consistent across clients (web/mobile)
  • ➖ Requires backend/schema changes and migration logic for existing workspaces
  • ➖ More moving parts for a small UX improvement
2. Use cached projects from client state (TanStack Query/router context)
  • ➕ Avoids duplicate fetch if projects are already loaded elsewhere
  • ➕ Keeps logic fully client-side without backend changes
  • ➖ Requires ensuring the cache is reliably populated before this route loads
  • ➖ More coupling to client data-layer conventions

Recommendation: Current approach is reasonable for a lightweight UX improvement: it’s localized to the route, easy to reason about, and only redirects when the user is on the workspace root path. If reviewers observe repeated navigation to this route causing extra requests, consider the cached-projects approach next; only move to a server-driven defaultProjectId if multiple clients need the same behavior or performance becomes a concern.

Add beforeLoad redirect to single project board

• Introduces a 'beforeLoad' hook that normalizes the current path, fetches projects for the workspace, and redirects (with history replace) to the project board when exactly one project exists. Leaves the existing '<Outlet />' rendering behavior unchanged for multi-project workspaces or nested paths.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Redirect the configured default project before the sole-project fallback.

projects?.length !== 1 skips every workspace with multiple projects. This includes workspaces that have a configured default project. Users in that case still land on the workspace root.

Resolve the workspace default project first. Redirect to it when present. Keep the exactly-one-project redirect as the fallback. The PR objective requires a default-project redirect or a sole-project redirect.

1. Duplicate projects fetch on load 🐞 Bug ➹ Performance
Description
Route beforeLoad fetches projects to decide whether to redirect, but the workspace index page also
fetches the same projects via React Query, causing two network calls and extra blocking latency for
workspaces with 2+ projects. Because beforeLoad doesn’t populate the React Query cache, the second
request is not avoided.
Code

apps/web/src/routes/_layout/_authenticated/dashboard/workspace/$workspaceId.tsx[R13-16]

+    const projects = await getProjects({
+      workspaceId: params.workspaceId,
+    });
+
Evidence
The PR adds a direct getProjects() call in beforeLoad. The workspace index route independently
fetches projects using useGetProjects(), which calls getProjects() again with a React Query key;
since beforeLoad does not write into that cache, both calls occur when landing on the workspace
root with multiple projects.

apps/web/src/routes/_layout/_authenticated/dashboard/workspace/$workspaceId.tsx[7-18]
apps/web/src/routes/_layout/_authenticated/dashboard/workspace/$workspaceId/index.tsx[124-132]
apps/web/src/hooks/queries/project/use-get-projects.ts[4-9]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`beforeLoad` calls `getProjects()` directly to check `projects.length`, but the workspace index route also calls `useGetProjects()` which triggers another `getProjects()` call. This doubles requests and adds an extra blocking round-trip before rendering for multi-project workspaces.

### Issue Context
The workspace index uses React Query with `queryKey: ["projects", workspaceId]`. The route `beforeLoad` should either (a) read from/populate that cache, or (b) avoid fetching unless it can determine the redirect without calling the full list endpoint.

### Fix Focus Areas
- apps/web/src/routes/_layout/_authenticated/dashboard/workspace/$workspaceId.tsx[7-27]
- apps/web/src/hooks/queries/project/use-get-projects.ts[4-9]
- apps/web/src/routes/_layout/_authenticated/dashboard/workspace/$workspaceId/index.tsx[124-132]

### Suggested implementation direction
In `beforeLoad`, use `context.queryClient.ensureQueryData` (or `prefetchQuery`) with the same queryKey/queryFn as `useGetProjects`, then read the cached result to decide whether to redirect. This ensures only one request and avoids blocking a second fetch in the index component.

2. Unhandled projects fetch errors 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
If getProjects() returns a non-OK response, it throws, and beforeLoad does not catch it—so
visiting /dashboard/workspace/:workspaceId can hard-fail into the error boundary instead of simply
skipping the redirect. This introduces a new route-level failure mode on transient network/auth
issues.
Code

apps/web/src/routes/_layout/_authenticated/dashboard/workspace/$workspaceId.tsx[R13-16]

+    const projects = await getProjects({
+      workspaceId: params.workspaceId,
+    });
+
Evidence
getProjects explicitly throws on non-OK responses, and the new beforeLoad awaits it without a
try/catch. That means API errors propagate as route-load errors when visiting the workspace root
path.

apps/web/src/fetchers/project/get-projects.ts[8-16]
apps/web/src/routes/_layout/_authenticated/dashboard/workspace/$workspaceId.tsx[7-18]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

### Issue description
`getProjects()` throws on non-OK HTTP responses. The new `beforeLoad` awaits `getProjects()` without handling errors, so the workspace root route can crash on API failures.

### Issue Context
The redirect behavior is an enhancement; failures to determine whether to redirect should degrade gracefully (e.g., continue to the workspace index UI) rather than hard-failing navigation.

### Fix Focus Areas
- apps/web/src/routes/_layout/_authenticated/dashboard/workspace/$workspaceId.tsx[7-27]
- apps/web/src/fetchers/project/get-projects.ts[8-20]

### Suggested implementation direction
Wrap the projects fetch in a `try/catch` inside `beforeLoad`. On error, optionally log (dev-only) and `return` (skip redirect). If you switch to `queryClient.ensureQueryData`, catch errors around that call instead.
