PR 15533 and 15537 fix v-show hydration so client styles correctly override server output. PR 15541 stops a crash when a null or undefined value binding is hydrated on inputs and selects. PR…
The second theme is VDOM-and-Vapor interop. When Vapor components live inside VDOM trees or vice versa, several lifecycle behaviors were broken: PR 15524 fixes nested VDOM content that never unmounted, PR 15536 fixes stale emit listeners on skipped updates, and PR 15542 fixes reordering and style binding for VDOM…
