Load-bearing links first. Each one says what in this domain rests on what outside it, and why.

Route with the file system rests on Compose components
Routes render components.
Handle loading and error states rests on Handle errors at component boundaries
Route error states are boundaries.
Stream UI with Suspense rests on Compose components
Suspense boundaries are components.
