HYDROGEN SILENT 404S ON REACT ROUTER V7 REDIRECTS

storefrontRedirect broke with React Router v7's Single Fetch protocol, silently killing client-side navigations on redirected URLs.

The Hydrogen redirect handler was watching for the old `?_data=route/id` query param pattern [1] but React Router v7 switched to `.data` pathname suffixes, leaving every client-side redirect dead in the water while full-page navigations still work [2]. This is a silent failure - no errors thrown, just 404s returned to users trying to navigate. Fix ships immediately [2]. In parallel, the Image component was generating wrong descriptor types for fluid images when srcsets landed at exactly three entries [3], causing blur on low-DPR screens [4], and the skeleton line item recursion had a variable shadowing bug [5]. On the CLI side, the autocomplete search throttle is finally being nuked for in-memory filtering [6], killing the 400ms lag in theme selection prompts that devs have felt since forever [7].

Action items

→ Deploy Hydrogen storefrontRedirect fix immediately - client-side navigations are broken Shopify/hydrogen [immediate]
→ Apply Image component descriptor fix for fluid images in next release Shopify/hydrogen [plan]
→ Merge CLI autocomplete throttle removal before next CLI version Shopify/cli [plan]
