Backport of Effect-TS/effect#7535, which fixed the same line in Effect v4's
AtomRegistryon Aug 30.Summary
Node.remove()returned early whenlifetimewas undefined, so it never calledremoveChildon the node'spreviousParents.children, socanBeRemovedstayed false and they, and every node above them, stayed inregistry.nodesfor good.disposeLifetime()already handles an undefinedlifetime, soremove()now always unlinkspreviousParents.Why
invalidate()on a lazy node with no listeners callsdisposeLifetime(), which clearslifetimeand movesparentsintopreviousParentswithout recomputing. If the node is removed before it recomputes (for example, unmount and then a parent update in the same tick),remove()hit the early return and left the parents linked to it. In our app this kept a large derived value alive after every page visit.Validation
pnpm vitest run packages/atom/test/Atom.test.ts -t "invalidated before removal": fails before the fix (parent node still registered), passes after.pnpm test --run: 8 files, 105 tests passed.pnpm lint: passed.pnpm check: passed.
