Cleaner slug-availability debounce pattern under react-hooks v7 #40

Description

Follow-up from #38 (authoring-screens).

In apps/web/src/screens/ProjectEdit.tsx, the debounced slug-availability check now sets setSlugAvailability('checking') inside the setTimeout callback rather than at the start of the effect. That's because eslint-plugin-react-hooks v7's set-state-in-effect rule flags every setState reachable from the effect body. The pattern still works, but the visual 'Checking…' indicator is delayed by the debounce (400ms) rather than appearing immediately after typing.

Options

  • Add a small useDebounce hook that owns its own state and emits a debounced value the effect can react to without setting state synchronously
  • Use useEffectEvent (still experimental) once it lands stable
  • Mark the early setSlugAvailability('checking') with a targeted eslint-disable if we decide the UX win is worth the rule exception

Either way, low-priority polish — the form is fully functional today.
