Under Cache Components, a `<Link prefetch={true}>` pointing at a route
that hasn't enabled Partial Prefetching quietly falls back to a legacy
full prefetch: it pulls down the route's dynamic data instead of just
the static shell, defeating the static/dynamic split. In development we
now surface this with a console error that explains the fallback and
points at how to opt in — app-wide with `partialPrefetching`, or
per-route with `prefetch = 'partial'`.
The check runs when the navigation happens, not when the link is
prefetched. Dev doesn't prefetch, so navigation is the only point where
both the originating link's fetch strategy and the resolved route tree
are in hand; it also means an app that has just turned on Cache
Components isn't flooded with warnings for every `prefetch={true}` link
on the page, since you only hear about a route when you actually
navigate to it. The decision reads a single hint at the root of the
resolved route tree that records whether any segment in the route opted
into Partial Prefetching.
Scope: the warning fires on every qualifying navigation, including ones
to fully static routes where a full prefetch costs nothing. Suppressing
it for fully-static targets is deferred — the route-level "has dynamic
data" signal isn't cheaply available on cache-served repeat navigations.
