click-path-audit

Debug UI state inconsistencies by tracing full click paths to map shared state store actions, identifying conflicting sequential side effects and sequential undoing that leave the UI inconsistent with the button label.

A button doing nothing after a refactor is often caused by race conditions or lifecycle interference, where useEffect or shared-state stores reset changes after the handler runs, undoing the expected state writes.

Detect race conditions in async onClick handlers by tracing the handler call order, verifying async sequencing, and checking if useEffect or shared-state stores reset fields after the handler completes its writes.

Trace state reset patterns across sequential form submission handlers by mapping each called function in order to determine what it reads, writes, and resets, detecting cases where later calls clear fields set by earlier calls.

Yes, this audit approach works for interactive touchpoints like toggles and form submissions by mapping state store actions to read/write/reset effects and reporting expected versus actual final UI state with actionable fixes.

Use a click path audit when systematic code-level debugging finds no obvious bugs but the user-visible state remains wrong, indicating hidden conflicts from side effects across sequential handlers in shared state stores.
