Four linked changes tell the story. P R 37850 kept a parent replay slot and ignored a redundant child slot after an abort during retry, so both children would render on resume. A follow-up, P R 37851, tried to prune stale descendant paths beneath a postponed Suspense boundary. Both were then reverted in P R 37852…
Separately, the Flight transport protocol was updated in P R 37846 and backported across four release lines in P Rs 37842 through 37845. Details in the feed are sparse, but the breadth and same-day backports signal a protocol-level change teams should pick up when upgrading.
For the compiler, P R 37764 merged a fix for false positive ref access errors when passing callbacks to Intersection Observer, modeling the constructor as deferred and read-only in both TypeScript and Rust back ends. Two open proposals continue that correctness push: treating bare use as a hook call for component…
Smaller fixes in review cover deferred hydration mismatches while the document is still parsing, form…
