Generally in good shape, but I have questions about potential open spec 
issues.

Specification https://drafts.csswg.org/css-view-transitions-2/#auto-vt-name 

Summary 

This intent covers two new keywords for view-transition-name: - 
'match-element' generates a unique id based on the element's identity and 
renames the same for this element. This is used in Single Page App cases 
where the element is being moved around and the desire is to animate it 
with a view transition - 'auto' generates a unique id based on the 
element's id attribute. This value remains the same for the same ids 
regardless of the element, but does not otherwise match the 
view-transition-name named with the same ident as the id. This can be used 
in both Single and Multi Page Apps to match elements based on their id 
attributes. Allow the 'auto' keyword as a value for the 
'view-transition-name' CSS property. This generates a unique name for the 
element, and reduces the burden of having to invent unique names for 
participating elements.

Risks 


Interoperability and Compatibility 

None


I guess there is some small compat risk in that people might have 
previously named their view transitions "auto" or "match-element", but 
we're hoping that's rare?
 



*Gecko*: No signal (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/
1198) 

*WebKit*: Shipped/Shipping (https://webkit.org/blog/
16301/webkit-features-in-safari-18-2)


Safari seems to have only shipped "auto" based on that blog post. Do you 
know their thoughts on "match-element"? Maybe based 
on 
https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-view-transitions/match-element-name.html?label=master&label=experimental&aligned
 
they've also implemented match-element.



*Web developers*: Positive This is a highly requested feature to prevent 
the need to uniquely identify each participating view transition element. 

*Other signals*: 

WebView application risks 

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that 
it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None


Debuggability 

None


Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, 
Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? Yes 

Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests 
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>
? Yes

name-from-id.html?label=experimental&label=master&aligned 
https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-view-transitions/
navigation/auto-name-from-id.html?label=experimental&label=master&aligned


I 
guess 
https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-view-transitions/match-element-name.html?label=master&label=experimental&aligned
 
is also relevant.

Anticipated spec changes 

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or 
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues 
in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may 
introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of 
the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
None
