The bug

prepareHydration keys each persisted store by the node's ancestor path:

const componentPath = node.path.slice(0, -1).join(".");
ctx.storeHydration.set(componentPath, node.store);

and createStore looks it up by getCurrentResourcePath() — which is that
same ancestor path, because createStore runs before useAsyncOutput pushes
the component's own segment.

So two keyed siblings share one hydration entry. The last one persisted
overwrites the others, and on the next boot every sibling restores that one's
state.

The persistence side was already right — each sibling is saved under its own
<kebab-name>-<key> node. Only the restore lookup discarded the segment that
makes them distinct.

Reproduction

Before this change both holders restore "B":

function Holder(props: { seed: string }) {
  const [state] = createStore({ value: props.seed });
  useAsyncOutput({ seed: props.seed }, async (_p, setOutputs) =>
    setOutputs({ value: state.value }));
  return <></>;
}

const app = () => (
  <>
    <Holder key="a" seed="A" />
    <Holder key="b" seed="B" />
  </>
);

What was actually persisted — correct all along:

{ id: "holder-a", path: ["holder-a"], store: { value: "A" } }
{ id: "holder-b", path: ["holder-b"], store: { value: "B" } }

Both path.slice(0, -1) to "", so B wins for both.

The fix

Key both sides by the node's own full path.

createStore needs the component's own segment before useAsyncOutput has
pushed it, so the derivation moved into runtime/identity.tsrender.ts
(the store attach hook) and instance.ts (node ids) both need it and cannot
import each other. instance.ts now builds its address from the same helper,
so the two cannot drift.

Why it matters

A component rendered per item in a <For> could not own a createStore at
all. Per-entity state had to be pushed into outputs purely to work around the
collision, which is a real constraint on how state gets modelled.

Tests

  • New end-to-end regression: keyed siblings each restore their own store
    through a real Memory across a restart.
  • New unit test: a node's store is not handed to its parent path.
  • Three existing hydration tests encoded the old slice(0, -1) contract and
    now address nodes by their own path.

Full suite green: 658 creact + 25 testing, tsc --noEmit clean.

Compatibility

Hydration keys change shape, so stores checkpointed by an older version are
not matched after upgrading — they fall back to their initial value. Outputs
are unaffected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed persisted state restoration for keyed sibling components.
    • Ensured each component independently retains and restores its own store snapshot.
    • Prevented state collisions between sibling and nested components during hydration.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for persistence and independent restoration across keyed components.

`prepareHydration` keyed each persisted store by `node.path.slice(0, -1)` —
the node's ANCESTOR path — while `createStore` looked it up by the current
resource path, which is the same thing. Two keyed siblings therefore share one
hydration entry, so the last one persisted overwrites the others and every
sibling restores its state on the next boot.

The persistence side was already correct: each sibling is saved under its own
`<kebab-name>-<key>` node. Only the restore lookup discarded the segment that
makes them distinct.

Minimal reproduction (before this change, both restore "B"):

    function Holder(props: { seed: string }) {
      const [state] = createStore({ value: props.seed });
      useAsyncOutput({ seed: props.seed }, async (_p, setOutputs) =>
        setOutputs({ value: state.value }));
      return <></>;
    }
    <><Holder key="a" seed="A" /><Holder key="b" seed="B" /></>

Both sides now key by the node's own full path. `createStore` runs before
`useAsyncOutput` has pushed the component's segment, so the segment is derived
the same way in both places — extracted into `runtime/identity.ts` because
`render.ts` (the store attach hook) and `instance.ts` (node ids) both need it
and cannot import each other.

This matters for per-entity state: a component rendered per item in a `<For>`
could not own a `createStore` at all, which pushed that state into outputs
purely to work around the collision.

Tests: a new end-to-end regression (keyed siblings each restore their own
store through a real Memory), plus a unit test that a node's store is not
handed to its parent path. Three existing hydration tests encoded the old
`slice(0, -1)` contract and now address nodes by their own path. Full suite
green: 658 creact + 25 testing, typecheck clean.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change centralizes component instance naming and uses complete node paths for store persistence and hydration. Keyed sibling components now restore separate snapshots. Tests cover exact-path hydration, nested components, copy isolation, and restart persistence.

Changes

Keyed store identity

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared instance identity and addresses
packages/creact/src/runtime/identity.ts, packages/creact/src/runtime/instance.ts
Adds toKebabCase and instanceName. deriveInstanceAddress now uses the shared instance name for component paths and node IDs.
Full-path persistence and hydration
packages/creact/src/runtime/render.ts, packages/creact/src/store/store.ts, packages/creact/src/store/__tests__/store.test.tsx
Persistence and hydration now use complete node paths, including keyed segments. Tests cover exact paths, nested children, snapshot isolation, and keyed sibling restoration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f6b25

The change correctly targets per-node store restoration, but the restart regression test reuses the same seed values after restart, so it could pass even if hydration failed and stores were merely reinitialized. This is a bounded merge-readiness risk requiring test correction or explicit owner acceptance.

…boot

With the same seeds on both renders, a total hydration failure fell back to
those seeds and looked exactly like a successful restore — the test could not
tell "restored" from "re-initialized".

The second boot now seeds X/Y while still expecting A/B, so only a real
restore passes. Verified by reverting the hydration keying: the test fails
with ['X','Y'].
