fix(query-core): keep select error result stable when select throws the same error - #12539
When a select function throws, createResult set errorUpdatedAt to Date.now() on every evaluation. Inline select functions are new on each render, so setOptions re-ran them and produced a result that never compared equal to the previous one. Subscribers were notified on each render, and React eventually reported Maximum update depth exceeded.
This PR keeps the stored select error and its timestamp when the next thrown value is the same failure (same name, message, cause, and own fields). A different error, or a successful select, still updates the result.
QueryObserver stores #selectErrorUpdatedAt and only replaces the select error when selectErrorChanged says it changed.
Regression test in queryObserver.test.tsx covers repeated identical errors, changed messages, cause, and a successful select.
Regression test in useQuery.test.tsx renders an inline throwing select alongside a child with state.
…he same error
When a select function throws, createResult set errorUpdatedAt to
Date.now() on every evaluation. Inline select functions create a new
function each render, so setOptions re-ran select and produced a new
result that was never shallow-equal to the previous one. Observers then
notified useSyncExternalStore on every render, which looped until React
reported 'Maximum update depth exceeded'.
Keep the stored select error and its timestamp when the next thrown
value is the same failure (same name, message, cause, and own fields).
A different error or a successful select still updates the result.

QueryObserver now preserves the timestamp of an equivalent selector error and updates it when the failure changes. Tests cover observer notifications, selector recovery, and a React render-loop regression.
Changes: Selector Error Stability
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Selector error comparison and timestamp packages/query-core/src/queryObserver.ts, .changeset/select-error-render-loop.md
QueryObserver compares selector failures and retains the stored error timestamp when a failure is equivalent. The changeset describes the patch.
Tests verify that repeated equivalent errors do not notify listeners or change the timestamp, while a different error updates the result. They also cover recovery to successful data.
TanStack/query#12533: Addresses the same render loop from repeated selector errors and retains the selector error timestamp.
TanStack/query#11536: Clears stored selector errors when select is removed and runs the selector again when it is restored.

The change improves repeated selector-error stability, but some changed error details can remain stale. Merge with explicit acceptance of that bounded limitation or correct the comparison first.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#12532] The stored timestamp and error identity stabilize repeated equivalent TypeErrors. The core and React tests cover the reported reproduction and recovery. However, selectErrorChanged compares cause by identity and treats distinct non-Error objects as changed. An inline selector that throws a new Error with a new equivalent Error as its cause, or a new equivalent object, can still change the error on every render and trigger the same loop when error is observed.
Resolution
Prevent repeated equivalent thrown values, including errors with equivalent newly created causes and non-Error objects, from triggering a render loop. Add regression tests that cover these cases while preserving updates for genuinely changed errors.

Preserve changed error details when deduplicating selector failures.
If successive errors have different non-enumerable code values, the observer retains the first error and timestamp. Consumers see the old code and receive no notification for the new failure. Preserve meaningful error details without reintroducing the inline-selector render loop.

Keep equivalent selector errors stable for placeholder data.
When a pending query selects placeholder data, a selector that throws a fresh object or an error with fresh nested fields can still cause a render loop. Preserve the result for equivalent failures while still reporting changed failures.
