📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

MenuPopup now reads open and wraps its children with Freeze so the content remains unchanged during close animations. New Mosaic guidance documents this pattern, held-child snapshots, and the requirement to freeze based on !open. A patch changeset records the behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7fb23

A focused integration test is still needed to prevent future changes from reintroducing content swaps during menu close animations.

Choosing an item usually changes what the menu was showing, so the popup swapped to the new content under its own exit animation. Wrap the popup's children in Freeze while closed, matching Popover, Select, Combobox and Dialog. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a Menu.Popup exit-content integration test. The current menu tests do not change popup children during close. The direct Freeze tests cannot detect a regression in MenuPopup’s frozen={!open} wiring.

Use a controlled menu that starts with an old child, begins closing while changing the child, and asserts that the old child remains while data-ending-style is present and the new child is absent. Resolve the exit animation through getAnimations()[].finished, then assert that the popup unmounts. Reopen the menu and assert that the new child renders.
