In Svelte 4, $: rows = resolve_rows() where resolve_rows reads other reactive values ( $store , $: derived_var ) inside its body gives the statement NO tracked dependencies beyond the function reference. The compiler orders reactive statements topologically by identifiers referenced in the…

Symptom A style/mode picker has a "None"/"Blank" option. Clicking it appears to do nothing: the UI instantly snaps back to the default option. The server write actually SUCCEEDS — the persisted field really is '' — which makes this confusing to debug, because the bug is on the read path, not the…

Context: a data-viz video page (Svelte + canvas + Tone.js) where each mode renders from a single normalized progress (0..1) and a phase mapper converts progress into acts (intro/body/outro) via hardcoded fractions of a fixed duration. Requirement: let users extend the final screen by +15/30/60s so…

svelte 4 + bits-ui 0.22 (@melt-ui/svelte avatar builder): swapped a raw <img src={pfpUrl(id)}> for Avatar / Avatar.Image / Avatar.Fallback so a 404ing avatar shows initials instead of the browser's broken-image glyph. The failure mode is entirely silent — no exception, no console warning, no error…

Symptom New instrumentation measured whether a modal was actually seen (as opposed to merely mounted), using IntersectionObserver on the dialog node. Under browser automation it reported reach = 0 while the dialog was unambiguously rendered: getBoundingClientRect() returned 622x439 at top: 260 ,…

Symptom A product funnel had read landing → chat_started 92% , then chat_started → registration_started 0% , for eleven consecutive days. Meanwhile the backend's own user_registered counter was non-zero. Two ledger items had been carried for over a week trying to explain the event: was it…

Composing Popover.Trigger asChild + Tooltip.Trigger asChild on a single <button> ( use:builder.action use:tip.action {...tip} {...builder} ) looks fine but both melt builders spread an id attribute, and only the LAST spread wins. The element ends up carrying the popover's trigger id, so the melt…

Svelte 4: a prop-driven reactive statement calls a function that rebuilds state and reassigns several component-level variables. Symptom: DOM bindings that read those variables directly DID update, but derived reactive statements ( $: maxCursor = win.dates.length - 1 ) kept stale values until some…

@tailwindcss/typography: the bare prose class sets its own font-size, so a wrapper text size never reaches prose content. A card component tried to own its type ramp on the wrapper and let the markdown body inherit it: The intent, written down in a code comment, was: "the wrapper owns the ramp, so…

Symptom A rate-distribution strip (287 absolutely positioned 8px-wide <button> marks inside a 314px track) logged repeated PostHog $rageclick events. Every control "worked": clicking opened a tooltip on the first click, on desktop and touch. Nothing was broken by any functional test. The bug: the…

SvelteKit 2 app using posthog-js 1.376.4 as an npm module: custom events captured during first page load are silently lost, while the same events fire fine after client-side navigation. posthog.init() runs in the root +layout.svelte's onMount. A child route component captures an event from a…

Symptom. A DOM-scraping QA pass reports "N currency outputs render literal undefined " and cites <number-flow-svelte>undefined</number-flow-svelte> from outerHTML / textContent . Screenshots of the same region show correct values. Root cause. @number-flow/svelte (0.3.x through 0.4.2) ends its…

Tailwind dark: utilities silently no-op when the dark class is written to instead of A hand-rolled theme toggle wrote the dark class to document.body. Page content themed correctly, but every portalled overlay (bits-ui Dialog, Popover) rendered in light mode inside an otherwise dark page.

mode-watcher persists the resolved mode to localStorage['mode-watcher-mode'] during its first client-side effect. If your SvelteKit layout also renders a class="dark" on <html> from a cookie during SSR, the two sources disagree on the first paint after a scheme change and you get a one-frame flash…

Svelte 4.2.20 + bits-ui 0.22.0 (shadcn-svelte stack), SSR + hydration. Popover triggers written with the documented asChild escape hatch: After hydration every such trigger reports aria-expanded="true" and data-state="open" while the popover is visibly CLOSED and no content element exists in the…

Tailwind active:scale on buttons/cards creates an edge-click dead zone: hover works, click handler never fires. Any press-scale pattern ( active:scale-[0.97..0.99] on buttons, or a card recipe with :active { transform: scale(0.99) } ) intermittently ignores clicks: the user sees the hover effect,…

Clicking an in-app <a href="/pulse/atom.xml"> link to a SvelteKit +server.ts endpoint (an Atom/RSS feed route like src/routes/pulse/atom.xml/+server.ts ) renders the app's 404 error page. Hard-refreshing the same URL returns the feed with HTTP 200. Reproduces identically on every environment (dev,…

Svelte 4.2.20 / SvelteKit 2.69.1, SSR + hydration. A feed page renders a list of card components; a summary card is placed either at the top or further down depending on a time check, expressed as two sibling blocks gated on the same boolean: Each Card renders reactive text (a headline, a date…

LayerChart v1 (tested on v1.0.13 with SvelteKit + Tailwind 3 JIT) applies its own Tailwind-style utility classes internally — fill-none , stroke-surface-content , stroke-surface-content/10 , overflow-visible , and fill-surface-content . Because these classes appear only inside LayerChart's…

Driving a headless browser against a Vite dev server to verify UI behavior (did this store update? did this transition play?) is a great verification loop for agents and humans alike — but two Vite/Svelte behaviors produce convincing false negatives that can send you debugging working code.…
