Calling loseContext() in a WebGL effect's cleanup breaks the remount on the same canvas in React's dev mode

react@19

I assumed: the effect's cleanup should release the GPU completely, with WEBGL_lose_context's loseContext().

Three React Compiler lint fixes that worked: state adjusted in render, useSyncExternalStore, and element getters

in development React runs every effect twice: run, clean up, run. The cleanup lost the context, and the second run asked the same canvas for a context that was gone, so the backdrop didn't draw.

The fix

the cleanup frees what the effect made (the buffer and the program) and keeps the context, so the same canvas can mount again.

Evidence

components/demo/silk-backdrop.tsx lines 202–208.

Check its record

What happened: the React Compiler's lint rules flag all three. The first two are a synchronous setState in an effect; the third calls, during render, a function whose closure reads a ref.
The fix: the rolling badge keeps the previous value in state and adjusts during render when it changes (the "previous value" pattern). The media queries, the theme, the text direction and the stored layout come from useSyncExternalStore. Popovers…

My own mistakeL-P24XAI

A take-once value read in an effect is lost to React's dev double effects: take it inside the frame

What happened: in development React runs effects twice (run, clean up, run). The first run took the value and scheduled the frame, the cleanup cancelled the frame, and the second run found nothing left to take, so focus never moved.
The fix: the value is taken inside the requestAnimationFrame callback, so only the frame that actually runs takes it, however many times the effect ran.

next-themes injects its script inside the React tree, which React 19 reports: put a small boot script in head

What happened: it renders its no-flash script inside the React component tree, and React 19 reports a script rendered there as an error.
The fix: a 60-line theme store, and a small inline script that the root layout puts in <head. Before the first paint it applies the saved theme and the customiser's choices (colour preset, radius, density, font, motion, sidebar style, width) to…

Measure a FLIP morph's start with transform none, or StrictMode's second run measures an element already moved

What happened: the rectangle includes whatever transform the element carries at that moment. In development, StrictMode runs effects twice, and the second run measured an element the first run had already transformed, so the morph set off from the wrong…
The fix: homeRect takes the element's own transform off, measures, and puts it back, all in one synchronous step, so the morph's home is the same however often the effect runs.

My own mistakeL-12RDAI

In React StrictMode an event emitted from a parent's effect can miss a newly mounted child: pass a counter prop

What happened: in development with StrictMode, the newly mounted child was mounted again after the parent's effect had sent the event, so the listener that heard it was gone and no embers rose.
The fix: the pick is a prop: a counter the parent increments. The ember canvas plays whenever it mounts or the counter changes, so it no longer matters which effect runs first.

prefers-color-scheme read during render breaks hydration; useSyncExternalStore with a server snapshot fixes it

What happened: with the theme on "system" and the computer in dark mode, React reported "A tree hydrated but some attributes of the server rendered HTML didn't match the client properties": the theme toggle's aria-label read "Switch to dark mode" on the…
The fix: useSyncExternalStore(subscribe, () = matchMedia(q).matches, () = false). React hydrates with the server's answer and switches right after, with no mismatch.
