When to Use

When morphing elements across pages (e.g., avatars, titles).
When implementing persistent layouts or headers.
When deciding how and when to hydrate interactive components.
When adding animations to static Astro pages without heavy JS libraries.

Critical Patterns

1. View Transitions: Morphing Elements (`transition:name`)

Use transition:name to seamlessly morph elements (like images or titles) across page navigations. Both the old and new elements must share the exact same transition:name string.

2. View Transitions: Persistent UI (`transition:persist`)

Use transition:persist to keep stateful components (like audio players, headers, or sidebars) alive and retain their internal state during navigation.

3. Deferring Hydration (Islands Architecture)
