Real-Time & Streaming Implement push-driven Hotwire behavior with Turbo Streams and Stimulus. Core Workflow Identify transport and delivery shape: WebSocket, SSE, inline stream tags, or server response streams. Choose default Turbo Stream actions first; add custom actions only when defaults are insufficient. Keep stream actions small and deterministic; avoid embedding arbitrary scripts in stream payloads. Separate stream orchestration from domain UI concerns (forms, media, navigation). Verify ordering, idempotency, and multi-tab behavior for all real-time updates. Guardrails Prefer append/prepend/replace/update/remove/before/after/refresh before custom actions. Keep cross-tab sync explicit (BroadcastChannel/localStorage) and scope it to same-device semantics. Use view transitions only where animation meaningfully improves state-change clarity. Validate failure modes for delayed/out-of-order messages.
