Target release date:	2026-07-27
Release status:	Released

Description

This release makes Fluent apps faster to load, more reliable at startup, and more flexible when preparing printable documents:

Large data sets can now be loaded one page at a time, reducing wait times and improving the responsiveness of list-based screens
Printable documents can be sorted with more control, including on values derived from product attributes
Users are no longer blocked by a blank page on startup when older session data is present in the browser - the application clears it automatically and continues to load

Components

GraphQL Data Providers
- Added a new Paginated GraphQL Data Provider Component, registered as `fc.provider.graphql.paginated`, that executes a single GraphQL request and returns only the requested page of data
- The paginated provider is designed for descendants that manage their own pagination, such as the List Component
- The existing GraphQL Data Provider Component is unchanged and is now also registered as `fc.provider.graphql.complete` to make the "returns all pages" intent explicit in configuration
Print Button
- Extended the "pick" version of the Print Button Component with the `sort` property to support fields originating from transformed attribute data (for example, `sku.attributes.byName.<attribute>`)

Session Management

Added automatic cleanup of stale or invalid session IDs during application initialization
The cleanup runs before application state is restored, preventing stale session data from blocking Fluent app rendering (i.e., blank page on startup)
Existing authentication and session management behavior is unchanged for valid sessions; no configuration changes are required
