Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughField placeholders now start empty. Builder JavaScript adds a spinner when an empty placeholder enters the viewport and stops observing placeholders as fields are replaced or loading finishes.

Keep failed placeholders observable after the queue finishes.
When a frm_load_field request fails, the success handler does not replace or populate the claimed placeholder. The complete callback still drains the queue, and afterAllFieldsLoad() then disconnects the observer. An offscreen failed placeholder can remain blank and cannot receive its spinner when it enters the viewport.
Keep unresolved placeholders observed or render an explicit failure state before disconnecting the observer.

W3C Intersection Observer specification zero area target isIntersecting zero-height element
💡 Result:
**Yes.** Under the W3C Intersection Observer spec, `isIntersecting` is `true` when the target’s rectangle and the root’s rectangle intersect **or are edge-adjacent**—even if the intersection has zero area, including when the target itself has zero area (such as a zero-height element). ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/TR/intersection-observer/?utm_source=openai))
For a zero-area target, `intersectionRatio` is **1 if `isIntersecting` is true, otherwise 0**. So `isIntersecting` does not necessarily mean the target has visible area. ([w3.org](https://www.w3.org/TR/intersection-observer/?utm_source=openai))

Keep the spinner visible on an in-view placeholder.
The loader starts up to three requests, and responses can arrive in any order. A later batch can therefore expose a later placeholder while an earlier placeholder remains loading. The observer appends a spinner to that intersecting placeholder, but the selector at resources/scss/admin/components/loading/_field-loading.scss:27-28 hides it because an earlier loading sibling still exists. Remove this rule.
