📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe router packages now treat caught values as ChangesUnknown error contracts
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR preserves arbitrary thrown values across router boundaries, but the default React error UI may show no error details for some values, and one Vue regression fixture may misclassify falsy errors as pending. The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded issues. Possibly related PRs

When existing TypeScript consumers install this patch, common declarations such as errorComponent: ({ error }: ErrorComponentProps) => error.message and onCatch: (error: Error) => ... stop compiling because both public defaults now expose unknown. Since all four affected packages are stable 1.x releases, publishing these changes as patches allows an ordinary patch upgrade to break downstream builds; either preserve backward-compatible signatures or mark the affected packages for a major release.

Render a fallback for non-Error values.
When a route throws a string, number, null, or an object without a truthy message, this condition renders an empty <pre>. The new boundary contract preserves arbitrary thrown values, but the default React UI hides them. Use the same String(error) fallback shown in docs/router/guide/data-loading.md and the Vue default component.
Proposed fix
- {(error as { message?: string } | null)?.message ? (
- <code>{(error as { message: string }).message}</code>
- ) : null}
+ <code>
+ {error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}
+ </code>📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Use an explicit error-state discriminator.
FallbackComponent now accepts unknown, but Line 119 still checks props.error for truthiness. Values such as false, 0, '', and null will render Pending route instead of Error route. Pass a separate pending/error flag so falsy thrown values remain distinguishable.
