Jira: RHCLOUD-52427

Remove unreachable starter-app shell — dead code, verified against the SB test net

Follow-up to #924 (RHCLOUD-52393), per its planned sequence. Note: the diff currently includes #924's commit — it will be rebased to exactly this PR's own commit (b3bef87) when #924 merges.

This app is mounted by chrome at exactly / (CRD: app landing, module ./RootApp, route / exact). Chrome owns routing: any location change away from / stops matching chrome's route for this app and unmounts it. Everything removed here is unreachable or unconsumed — each class of deadness verified against the Storybook interaction-test baseline landed in #924.

Removed — unreachable in production

  • 404 catch-all route + component: chrome's own NotFoundRoute handles unmatched paths; the app never receives non-root paths
  • APP_NAVIGATION handler + useNavigate: ChromeLink fires APP_NAVIGATION only for intra-app navigation, and the landing app has no sub-nav — the handler could only ever re-navigate to /
  • Logout and Maintenance routes/components: starter-app leftovers; Logout was never routed, imported, or exposed; Maintenance had unreachable hardcoded template copy
  • icon-404 / icon-hourglass: orphaned with their routes

Removed — unconsumed

  • PermissionContext + the isOrgAdmin state and getUser effect feeding it: zero consumers
  • NotificationsProvider: zero consumers — no widget uses notifications and widgetLayout's notification Portal is props-fed from its own jotai atom, not this context
  • useCurrentUser / useLoaded hooks and the unused older recently-visited component: zero importers
  • AppEntry's pathName computation: computed, never read

App collapses to its honest shape: Suspense + the Landing composition (~40 lines). The preview's MemoryRouter stays — widget stories need a router context for their Links (chrome's router is the ancestor in production).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changes
    • The app now displays the landing page directly; maintenance, not-found, and logout screens are no longer provided here.
    • The recently visited section is no longer available.
    • The 404 and hourglass illustrations have been removed.
  • Developer Experience
    • The Cypress widget-removal command now has a chainable return type.
    • The nightly build-and-lint script is no longer available.

Walkthrough

The app entry now renders Landing directly inside Suspense. The former maintenance, logout, and not-found pages and related components were removed. The Cypress command declaration, npm script, and Vitest alias configuration also changed.

Changes

App Shell and Removed UI

Layer / File(s) Summary
Render Landing from the app entry
src/App.tsx, src/moduleEntries/AppEntry.tsx
App now renders Landing directly inside Suspense instead of selecting among routes or providing the former permission context and notifications. AppEntry no longer parses the pathname.
Remove route pages and related components
src/routes/*, src/routes/__tests__/*, src/components/icon-404*, src/components/icon-hourglass*, src/components/__tests__/icon-404.test.tsx, src/components/recently-visited/recently-visited.tsx, src/components/useCurrentUser.ts, src/components/useLoaded.ts
The 404, logout, and maintenance pages and their styles, tests, and stories were deleted. The 404 and hourglass icons, RecentlyVisited, useCurrentUser, and useLoaded were also removed.

Test and Script Tooling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update test and script configuration
cypress/support/e2e.ts, package.json, vitest.config.ts
The Cypress removeWidget declaration now returns Chainable<void>. The nightly npm script and the Vitest alias for relative imports ending in .js were removed.

Explanation

The title names the main change: removing unreachable starter-app shell code as a refactor. It matches the changeset, which deletes the 404 route, Logout and Maintenance pages, PermissionContext, NotificationsProvider, unused hooks, and related icons and tests. The phrase 'verified against the PR 1 test net' is process detail that does not describe the code change, and the title is 94 characters, longer than a concise title should be. It is still clearly related to the primary change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's main parts. It has a summary of the removals, a Jira link (RHCLOUD-52427), and a verification table. It has no Screenshots section, though the template asks for before and after screenshots of UI changes. The Checklist section is also missing. The description says the diff includes commit from PR #924 and will be rebased, which is useful context. The summary is longer than the template's 2-3 sentence guidance, but it covers the change. Reproduction steps are not needed for this refactor, since no UI behavior is added.

test script skips the Storybook project's Playwright requirement check.

npm test now runs vitest run across both projects. The storybook project needs Playwright Chromium binaries. A fresh checkout without npx playwright install chromium fails. The nightly script also calls npm run test -- -u, which now includes the browser project. Consider pointing test at --project=unit, or keep it as is and document the browser prerequisite.

Assert link destinations, not only link count.

The tour card has url: '', but this assertion still passes because six links render. Check each card’s expected destination or action so the test does not accept a card with an empty destination.

The resolve.alias entry is not a regex alias.

Vite treats an object-form alias key as a literal string. The key '^(\\.{1,2}/.*)\\.js$' never matches an import. The alias does nothing. Use the array form with a RegExp find, or remove the entry.

-    alias: {

I checked the dead-code claim against the CRD: the route is / with exact: true, and nothing uses PermissionContext, NotificationsProvider or the 404/Maintenance/Logout routes. One live call went with them; see inline.

This one isn't dead code: updateDocumentTitle('Hybrid Cloud Console Home') sets the browser tab title on the landing page, and its removal isn't mentioned in the description. Please restore it (in AppEntry or Landing), and the title should go through react-intl in #927 too.

…against the PR 1 test net

This app is mounted by chrome at exactly `/` (CRD: app `landing`,
module `./RootApp`, route `/` exact). Chrome owns routing: any
location change away from `/` stops matching chrome's route for this
app and unmounts it. Everything removed here is unreachable or
unconsumed — each class of deadness verified against the Storybook
interaction-test baseline landed in the previous PR.

Removed — unreachable in production:
- the 404 catch-all route + component: chrome's own NotFoundRoute
  handles unmatched paths; the app never receives non-root paths
- the APP_NAVIGATION handler + useNavigate: ChromeLink fires
  APP_NAVIGATION only for intra-app navigation, and the landing app
  has no sub-nav — the handler could only ever re-navigate to `/`
- Logout and Maintenance routes/components: starter-app leftovers;
  Logout was never routed, imported, or exposed; Maintenance had
  unreachable hardcoded template copy
- icon-404 / icon-hourglass: orphaned with their routes

Removed — unconsumed:
- PermissionContext + the isOrgAdmin state and getUser effect feeding
  it: zero consumers
- NotificationsProvider: zero consumers — no widget uses notifications
  and widgetLayout's notification Portal is props-fed from its own
  jotai atom, not this context
- useCurrentUser / useLoaded hooks and the unused older

- AppEntry's pathName computation: computed, never read

App collapses to its honest shape: Suspense + the Landing composition.
The preview's MemoryRouter stays — widget stories need a router

production).
