- Navigation guard making API calls without awaiting → See router-guard-async-await-pattern

- Users trapped in infinite redirect loops → See router-navigation-guard-infinite-loop

- Navigation guard using deprecated next() function → See router-navigation-guard-next-deprecated

Route Lifecycle

- Stale data when navigating between same route → See router-param-change-no-lifecycle
