Implement cross-cutting Hotwire UX feedback patterns: loading states, busy indicators, progress bars, optimistic UI, render interception, and view/page transitions. Prefer this skill when the core goal is perceived performance and user feedback, independent of a single feature domain. Use hwc-forms-validation for form correctness and validation behavior, hwc-navigation-content for navigation/history/cache mechanics, hwc-realtime-streaming for push/stream orchestration, hwc-media-content for media-specific behavior, and hwc-stimulus-fundamentals for base Stimulus API questions.

What this skill does


# User Experience & Feedback

Implement cross-cutting feedback and perceived-performance patterns in Hotwire.

## Core Workflow

1. Identify feedback need: loading, submit activity, progress reporting, optimistic updates, or transitions.
2. Prefer built-in Turbo semantics first (`busy`, progress bar hooks, submit/render lifecycle events).
3. Add optimistic updates only with a clear reconciliation strategy.
4. Keep transition logic bounded to explicit lifecycle events and cache/preview-safe paths.
5. Verify UX behavior on slow network, back/forward cache restores, and submission failures.

## Guardrails

- Do not use fixed timeouts as a proxy for network or render completion.
- Gate animations/transitions for previews and cache restores.
- Keep submit locking/unlocking symmetric between start and end events.
- Separate UX feedback logic from domain-specific form/media/navigation implementations.
