From 52537db1c946bd337df111dee2c144f903b9e531 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aditya kumar singh <143548997+Adityakk9031@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 25 Jul 2026 00:04:11 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] fix(useChallengeGame): replace stale hasWon closure with wonNow in handleStreamComplete The hasWon flag was read from a stale useCallback closure inside handleStreamComplete. On the first winning turn, setHasWon(true) is queued but React has not re-rendered yet when storage.saveSession runs, so the closure still holds hasWon=false. This caused the session to be persisted as unsolved on the winning turn, breaking win state restore after a page reload. Fix: use wonNow (derived directly from result.success in the same synchronous tick) instead of the stale hasWon from the closure. Also remove hasWon from the useCallback dependency array since it is no longer referenced inside the callback, preventing unnecessary re-creations. Adds src/hooks/__tests__/useChallengeGame.haswon.test.ts with 12 tests covering old vs new behaviour, the race condition scenario, and the dep array change (all 12 pass).
