 - React Router routes kept in a table of their own are now indexed: the ASP.NET Core React template's `AppRoutes` array that `App.js` maps into `<Route {...rest}>`, a `routes` array imported into `useRoutes(routes)` or `createBrowserRouter(routes)` or returned by a function as in `useRoutes(routes(isLoggedIn))`, route objects kept one per file and listed in `createBrowserRouter([MainRoutes, LoginRoutes])`, and routes written in place in `useRoutes([…])`. Before, route objects were read only from a file that itself creates a data router, so these apps had no routes, and their `navigate('/login')` calls and `<Link to="/counter">` links led nowhere. Each route links to the page its `element` renders, past a guard like `<ProtectedRoute>` or `<AdminWrapper>`, and through `lazy(() => import(…))` to the page it loads rather than a same-named page elsewhere in the repository. An `index: true` route is the page at its parent's address, and a parent route around others counts as their layout. A `{ path, element }` list that nothing hands to the router, such as a menu, still makes no routes. Re-index React projects after upgrading.
 - In Go, a call or type written through an import whose path ends in a version, or in something other than the package's name, is now known to go through that import: `yaml.Unmarshal(…)` after `import "go.yaml.in/yaml/v3"` or `"gopkg.in/yaml.v3"`, `sqlite3.Error` after `import "github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3"`, `klog.V(2)` after `import "k8s.io/klog/v2"`. Before, only the last part of the path named such an import (`v3`, `yaml.v3`, `go-sqlite3`), so the name was matched on its own and could link to any project function, method or type that shared it: kubernetes' `klog.V(…)` calls were linked to a logging wrapper's `V` method, and etcd's `semver.Version` parameters to an unrelated `Version` function. A name from another module now links to nothing, and one through a package of your own project, like `kit.New()` after `import "example.com/kit/v2"`, links to that package's symbol. A comment in an import block is also no longer taken for the name of the import after it. Re-index Go projects after upgrading. Thanks @danusha2345 for the comment fix. (#2374)
 - React Router routes written as JSX now read `<Route index>` the way route objects do: inside `<Route path="/" element={<Layout />}>`, `<Route index element={<Home />} />` is the page at `/`, and `Layout` counts as the layout of every route nested in it, as does a guard with no path of its own like `<Route element={<RequireAuth />}>`. Before, the index route was never read, so `/` led to the layout itself and a `<Route path="/dashboard">` holding only an index route led to nothing. A route's `element` written on lines of its own, the way Prettier formats a long one, or wrapped in `<Suspense fallback={<Loader />}>`, now links to the page it shows rather than to nothing or to the fallback, and a path written in braces, like `path={"agents"}`, is read like any other. Re-index React projects after upgrading.
+- In JavaScript and TypeScript, an import written `import { default as AppRoot } from './routes/app/root'`, as in bulletproof-react's router, now counts as the module's default import, the same as `import AppRoot from './routes/app/root'`. Before, it was read as an import of an export named `default`, which no module has, so a call, a route or a JSX attribute that used `AppRoot` was matched by its name alone: it could link to another file's `AppRoot`, or to nothing when the default export has a name of its own. Svelte, Vue and Astro script blocks are read the same way.
