fix(http): edit the TransferState script, not one whose data-id ends in -state

[erkamyaman]

What and why

A state-edit SSR override rewrites Angular's TransferState script, <script id="{appId}-state" type="application/json">, in the server HTML. editTransferState finds that script with a regex that checked \bid="[^"]*-state". A word boundary also sits between the - and id in data-id, so any JSON script with an attribute like data-id="config-state" matched too.

When such a script comes before Angular's state script (Angular writes its script at the end of the body), the override edits the wrong script:

• the other script's JSON is rewritten
• Angular's TransferState is left as it was
• the override is still reported as applied (set a)

So the override silently does nothing for the app. The browser side already reads the right element with script[id$="-state"]. The fix needs whitespace before id (\sid=) in editTransferState and in the middleware's hasState check.

How it was verified

Added a test to ssr-overrides.test.ts that puts a data-id="config-state" JSON script before Angular's state script and applies an edit. On main the other script is rewritten and the test fails. With the fix only ng-state changes. All SSR tests and pnpm test:devtools pass.

• pnpm commit:check (commit messages follow the guidelines)
• pnpm format:check
• pnpm typecheck (includes the ngc template checks)
• pnpm test:devtools (all passing)
• pnpm skills:check (when .claude/ changed): not changed
• No docs change needed: a bug fix with no change to options or labels (no-docs)
• pnpm extension:build and extension/ui committed (when app/ changed): not changed
• Checked in the browser with axe (when the UI changed): no UI change

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • TransferState updates now target only the intended state script, leaving unrelated JSON scripts with data-id attributes unchanged. The script is identified by its actual id attribute, so an attribute name that merely contains id is no longer mistaken for the state script. This prevents unrelated JSON content from being changed during TransferState updates.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The middleware and TransferState editor now require an actual id attribute when matching state scripts. A test verifies that editing the TransferState JSON leaves an unrelated script with a data-id attribute unchanged.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0ffb3

The fix handles ordinary data-id attributes, but unusual markup can still lead SSR state edits to target the wrong JSON script. The trigger is narrow, so the remaining risk is bounded.

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — packages/devtools (library) was modified; 3 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in packages/devtools/src/ssr-overrides.ts: The state-script matcher now checks for \sid= rather than \bid=, so data-id no longer qualifies as the required -state identifier.
• observed — Modified behavior in packages/devtools/src/tests/ssr-overrides.test.ts: Added a test that prepends an unrelated config-state script to the HTML, applies a state edit, and checks that the unrelated script remains unchanged while the ng-state JSON contains the updated value and existing keep entry.
• observed — Modified behavior in packages/devtools/src/ssr-middleware.ts: The TransferState script check now requires whitespace before id; scripts where id is only part of another attribute name no longer qualify.

the middleware hasState check with one shared attribute-aware matcher. Recognize
the required id and type attributes only when they occur outside other quoted
attribute values, so text containing literal quotes inside a single-quoted value
cannot match.
