Feature | Intercept navigation events #294

Description

Impact

Problem / Motivation

URI allow-list exists, but no public pre-navigation callback to inspect/cancel specific requests.

Current behavior

Relevant primitives exist in the files listed above, but this backlog item does not have a complete, explicit InfiniFrame contract with dedicated coverage.

Expected behavior

Add navigation-starting event API exposing URL, user-initiation, redirect flag, and cancel token across supported engines.

Proposed solution

Implement this incrementally:

  1. Define/adjust the managed public API in InfiniFrame.Shared.
  2. Wire implementation in InfiniFrame and InfiniFrame.Native where required.
  3. Add focused tests (tests/InfiniFrameTests*) and docs updates (docs/docs/guides/*, docs/docs/migration/*).

Alternatives considered

  • Keep as unsupported and document migration limitation.
  • Provide a workaround-only approach without first-class API.

Use case

Applications migrating from Photino expect this behavior and currently need custom handling for "Intercept navigation events".

Technical proposal

Scope implementation to: core managed runtime (src/InfiniFrame/*, src/InfiniFrame.Shared/*, src/InfiniFrame.Js/*). Keep behavior deterministic across Windows/Linux/macOS and document platform-specific limitations explicitly.

Additional context

Photino reference: tryphotino/photino.NET#139
