What is the purpose of a loader function in Remix?
Loaders are server-side functions exported from a route module that fetch data before the component renders. They return a response or plain object accessible in the component through useLoaderData(), keeping data fetching co-located with the route.

Which Remix export handles form submissions and mutations on the server?
Actions are server functions that handle non-GET requests (POST, PUT, DELETE) submitted through Remix <Form> components. After an action runs, Remix automatically revalidates all loaders on the page, keeping the UI in sync without manual cache invalidation.

In Remix nested routes, what component renders the matched child route inside a parent layout?
Nested routes in Remix use React Router's <Outlet /> component as the injection point. A parent layout renders <Outlet /> where it wants the active child route's component to appear, enabling independent data loading and UI for each segment of the URL.

What does Remix's errorElement / ErrorBoundary export do at the route level?
Error boundaries in Remix are exported as ErrorBoundary from a route file. When a loader, action, or component in that route throws, Remix renders the boundary's UI instead of crashing the entire page, keeping the rest of the nested UI intact.

How does optimistic UI work in Remix when submitting a form?
Optimistic UI in Remix is achieved by reading useNavigation().formData (or useFetcher().formData), which contains the in-flight submission data. The component can render the predicted result immediately and Remix will reconcile with the real server response once it arrives.
