Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. WalkthroughEditorLoader retains the record that opened the editor and uses it for access and mobiledoc conversion decisions. Later refetches do not replace that record. Acceptance tests cover access changes that cause the next save to return a permission error, and mobiledoc-only refetches that leave the editor open without a conversion write. The session documentation describes these behaviors. Priority: ⬇️ Low Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A writer whose access has been restored may still be sent away from the editor when reopening the post.

- Around line 537-538: Reset the `openedWith` latch when the routed post
identity changes so navigation from post A to post B renders and saves against
post B; preserve the latch during background refetches. Update the
identity-change handling around the `openedWith` early return without changing

The new session contract says that a stale cached copy remains visible while its opening refetch runs, and that refetch decides access.
EditorLoaderstill uses the cachedloadedrecord forreturnToListwhileopenedWithis unset. The navigation effect does not checkquery.isFetching, so a cached denial can redirect before a refetch that grants access returns.openedWithis latched only after fetching stops.Keep

no ref The editor screen judged every read of the post, not only the one that opened it. A refetch that found a Contributor's draft published elsewhere, or the writer dropped from its authors, swapped the editor for a spinner and returned to the list with no leave prompt, losing anything typed since the last save. A refetch that brought a version stored only as mobiledoc swapped in the conversion spinner the same way. Access and conversion are now decided on the read that opens the editor. Later reads belong to the session, so the next save reports the server's refusal or the collision while the writer keeps their content.
…er edit no ref Post reads go stale whenever any post is saved, and a cached copy stays for ten minutes. A post reopened from such a copy latched it before its refetch landed, so an Author removed from the post while away stayed in the editor, where every save was refused, instead of returning to the list. The editor now latches the post once its read has settled; until then the refetch in flight still decides access and conversion. The load error is cleared once the editor is open, whatever later reads return.

Wait for the opening refetch before denying access.
If a cached post excludes the Author, EditorLoader sets returnToList and navigates before the refetch settles. The writer cannot reopen the post even if the fresh record lists them as an author. The existing reopen test covers the opposite transition: access is present in the cache and removed by the refetch. Gate the opening access decision on the settled read, and test this reverse transition.

A background refetch could close the React editor. The screen re-checked access and mobiledoc conversion on every read, not only on the one that opened the post.
Verification: new acceptance specs for each case fail without the fix. Admin unit and acceptance suites pass.
