HYDROGEN PATCHES CART RECURSION BUG AS CLI BUMPS 41 DEPENDENCIES
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Shopify
Hydrogen's cart handler now recursively includes line item children, fixing a data structure bug that could break custom cart implementations across the entire platform ecosystem.
The Hydrogen team shipped coordinated patch releases across five packages [6][7][8][9][10] addressing cart rendering and React Router compatibility. The critical fix surfaces in @shopify/[email protected] [8], where cart.get() now respects the provided cartId before falling back to getCartId(), and the Image component stops generating incorrect density descriptors for fluid images capped at 3 srcset entries. All five Hydrogen packages [6][7][8][9][10] now widen React Router peer dependency ranges to accept 7.16 patch versions without npm conflicts. On the CLI side, Shopify/cli merged a massive 41-package dependency bump [1] including TypeScript-ESLint 8.60.1, GraphQL 16.14.1, and Zod updates, while strategically removing breaking minor updates [2] and OpenTelemetry exporters [3] from the grouped release. The CLI also fixed GitHub release creation for legacy workflows [4] and expanded E2E staging configs with sidekick summaries [5].
