🎯 Changes

Fixes #10145.

HydrationBoundary defers hydrating queries that already exist in the cache until a useEffect, so client transitions do not update mounted observers during render. During SSR that effect never runs, so those queries are dropped.

A useQuery above the boundary creates a cache entry without fetching (pending / idle / dataUpdatedAt: 0). The boundary then treats the prefetched key as existing and skips it. A child useSuspenseQuery for the same key fetches again on the server.

On the server neither reason for deferral applies (no transitions to abort, and observers have not subscribed yet). This change hydrates existing queries in render when environmentManager.isServer() is true. Client deferral is unchanged.

This is intentionally narrower than #10159, which hydrated never-fetched idle queries on the client as well. That was unsafe once an observer had subscribed.

This covers the reported SSR refetch / client-requestor-on-server failure. It does not stop a redundant client fetch on first hydration of the same tree, and it does not address the outer-useSuspenseQuery mismatch described in the issue thread.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

HydrationBoundary now hydrates newer existing queries during server rendering. Client hydration remains deferred until the effect phase. A new SSR test verifies that useSuspenseQuery reads prefetched data without refetching.

Changes

SSR hydration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Server render hydration
.changeset/lucky-bats-listen.md, packages/react-query/src/HydrationBoundary.tsx
HydrationBoundary uses environmentManager to hydrate newer existing queries during server rendering. Client-side hydration remains queued for the effect phase.
Suspense SSR validation
packages/react-query/src/__tests__/ssr-hydration.test.tsx
The test renders useQuery above HydrationBoundary and useSuspenseQuery below it. It verifies prefetched data renders successfully without calling the query function.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a0ea0

Initial client hydration can still refetch an existing pending query and overwrite prefetched data, causing incorrect or redundant results for users. The PR is not merge-ready until this bounded hydration race is fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

React 19 hydrateRoot Suspense boundary suspends during hydration server rendered content fallback hydration mismatch behavior

💡 Result:

In React 19, hydration remains a process where the client expects the rendered DOM to match the server-generated HTML [1]. If a mismatch occurs, React attempts to recover but strongly advises fixing the root cause, as mismatches can lead to performance degradation or incorrect attachment of event handlers [1]. Regarding the behavior of Suspense boundaries during hydration: 1. Suspense Fallback Behavior: If a Suspense boundary encounters a component that suspends during hydration, React typically maintains the server-rendered HTML rather than showing the fallback, preserving the initial server UI until the component is ready [2]. However, inconsistencies can occur if a hydration mismatch exists elsewhere in the tree [2]. If a hydration error is detected in a sibling component, it may interfere with how React handles the Suspense boundary. In some cases, if the mismatch and the suspension occur in specific configurations, React might fail to render the Suspense fallback and instead keep the server HTML until the suspension resolves [2]. 2. Hydration Mismatches with Suspense: Hydration mismatches near Suspense boundaries are a known area of complexity. Historically, React versions have faced issues where siblings of suspending components were incorrectly flagged as hydration mismatches [3][4]. While React 19 includes significant improvements to error reporting and handles mismatches more gracefully by providing clearer diffs and allowing unexpected tags (like those from browser extensions) to be skipped [5][6], structural mismatches near suspending components still carry risk. 3. Optimization and Transitions: Using startTransition for state updates during hydration can prevent Suspense fallbacks from triggering, ensuring that server-rendered content is not prematurely replaced by loading states [7]. React Compiler also helps mitigate these issues by automatically optimizing code to avoid unnecessary Suspense fallbacks during the hydration process [8][7]. To debug or prevent these behaviors: - Use onRecoverableError in hydrateRoot to capture detailed error information and component stacks, which is crucial for identifying where a mismatch occurs [9][10]. - Ensure that data, browser-only APIs, and random values (like Math.random or Date.now) are consistent between the server and client initial render [10]. - Use suppressHydrationWarning={true} only as an escape hatch for truly unavoidable, one-level-deep text or attribute differences [1]. - Consider moving browser-only logic (e.g., window or document access) into useEffect so that the initial client render matches the server HTML [10].

Handle existing pending queries during initial client hydration.

When Header creates a pending query, HydrationBoundary defers the newer dehydrated state to its effect. Detail then calls useSuspenseQuery, which can start query.fetch() during render. The effect preserves the active fetch, so its result can overwrite the prefetched data. Add a hydrateRoot regression test with separate Header and Detail query functions, onRecoverableError, and assertions before and after the boundary effect.
