Describe selector errors separately.

If select throws on its first call, the observer reports error with data undefined, even when initialData exists. No fetch needs to fail. Distinguish the declared type from this runtime case so callers do not rely on retained data. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @packages/vue-query/src/useQuery.ts around lines 49 - 51:
Update the useQuery return documentation to distinguish selector errors from
fetch errors: a select failure on its first call can produce error status with
undefined data despite initialData, while a fetch failure may retain existing
data. Do not imply initialData guarantees data for every error state.

Qualify readonly behavior for Vue 2.6.

With Vue 2.6, the default readonly() wrapper provides only a type-level check. JavaScript can therefore mutate state.data without updating the query cache. Document this limitation and direct users to queryClient.setQueryData for cache updates. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @packages/vue-query/src/useQuery.ts at line 52:
Update the `useQuery` documentation to qualify that Vue 2.6’s default
`readonly()` wrapper enforces immutability only at the type level, so JavaScript
mutations to `state.data` do not update the query cache; direct users to
`queryClient.setQueryData` for cache updates. Apply the same clarification to
the other referenced documentation passages.

Correct the status conditions.

A failed attempt can leave status as pending or success while retries remain. A final refetch failure can produce error while data remains available. Also, placeholderData can produce success before cached data exists. Describe these states in terms of the observer result rather than the last attempt or cache presence alone.

Review comment at @packages/vue-query/src/useQuery.ts at line 95:
Update the status documentation in the useQuery result comments for status,
isPending, isSuccess, and isError to describe the observer result’s actual
state, including retries, refetch errors with existing data, and placeholder
data before cache data exists. Avoid defining these states solely by the last
fetch attempt or cached-data presence.
