Recursion Bug Investigation

No Obvious Bug Found

I reviewed the dispatch(), smTransition(), executeEffect(), and JSON.stringify calls - no obvious recursion patterns found.

What I Checked

  • dispatch() - Calls smTransition(), then executeEffect() for each effect. No recursive dispatch inside.
  • smTransition() - One internal call: online delegates to reconnect. Not recursive.
  • executeEffect() - None of the handlers call dispatch()
  • JSON.stringify - Used in log() and saveTodoProgress(). Could fail on circular refs but data looks plain.

Possible Causes

  1. Circular reference in log data - If event objects have circular refs, JSON.stringify in log() would overflow
  2. DOM event loop - Event listener triggering another event listener in a chain
  3. Getter/setter loop - state object with getters that trigger state changes
  4. Browser extension - Third-party code interfering

Next Steps

To debug further, we need the full browser stack trace. Can you open DevTools (F12), reproduce the error, and share the stack trace from the Console tab?
