## 2026-01-02 - Client Router Implementation
### Changes Made
- Updated `src/layouts/BaseLayout.astro` to use `<ClientRouter />` from `astro:transitions`.
- Modified theme initialization script to handle `astro:after-swap` events for persistent theming during navigation.
- Removed legacy "Intent-Based Prefetch" script as it is superseded by Astro's built-in router capabilities.
### Decisions
- Adopted Astro's `ClientRouter` to provide a smoother, SPA-like user experience with view transitions.
- Consolidated theme logic into a function `applyTheme()` that runs on both initial load and after view transitions to prevent theme flickering or resetting.
### How to Test
1. Open the site in a browser.
2. Toggle the theme to a non-default state (e.g., Light mode if default is Dark).
3. Click a navigation link (e.g., "Blog").
4. Verify the new page loads without a full refresh (no white flash).
5. Verify the selected theme persists on the new page.
### Next Steps
- [ ] Monitor for any script re-execution issues common with View Transitions.
- [ ] Consider adding custom transition animations for specific elements if needed.
