Research direction
Start by reading App.tsx to identify the main content area and entry-client.tsx to understand the current hydration flow. Reproduce or inspect the blank-page behavior, then verify that render errors show a user-friendly state with the page title and reload option, while hydration failures fall back to client-side rendering.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Problem
App.tsx has no React error boundary. If any component in the render tree throws (bad MDX, missing data, theme component error), the entire page goes blank with a console error. There's also no hydration error recovery in entry-client.tsx — hydration failure results in a blank page.
Suggested Fix
- Add an error boundary component wrapping the main content area in
App.tsx - Show a user-friendly error state with the page title and a "reload" option
- In
entry-client.tsx, catch hydration errors and fall back to client-side rendering instead of showing nothing
