Approved for C# as of commit 15.

@DeagleGross

- OpenAPI unions: correct the third-party generator claim (ApiExplorer does not detect unions via JsonTypeInfoKind.Union; Swashbuckle/NSwag don't yet recognize unions). Per @DeagleGross review on #10456. - Blazor Virtualize: note that a user scroll during ScrollToIndexAsync wins. Per @ilonatommy review on #10456. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

- CSRF: note that Blazor Web App templates no longer call app.UseAntiforgery(). - Bug fixes/Blazor: Virtualize is now CSP-compliant (#66680); session cookie is issued before streaming SSR for [SupplyParameterFromSession]/TempData (#66832). Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

approved for Unions & CSRF

…eature WithBrowserOptions flows client-side Blazor.start configuration from the server in C# (log level, Server reconnection, SSR DOM preservation, WASM environment), serialized to the client across Server/WebAssembly/Auto render modes. Introduced in Preview 4 (server-to-browser config via DOM comment) and reshaped in Preview 6 (dotnet/aspnetcore#67337, proposal #66393). Includes the reshape/rename migration for earlier adopters. Sample build-verified on 11.0.100-preview.6.26359.118. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Virtualize approved.

@ilonatommy

Reviewing dotnet/AspNetCore.Docs#37322 surfaced that the attribute is data-blazor-virtualize-reserved-height (only the server-computed spacer height), not the generic data-blazor-style. Verified in the P6 source (Virtualize.cs / Virtualize.ts). @ilonatommy corrected the same wording on the docs PR. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
