Research direction

Begin with the linked CodeSandbox reproduction, specifically src/App.tsx around line 9,30, and refresh it repeatedly in Chrome with Strict Mode closed. Confirm whether console.log runs twice and use that behavior as the completion criterion; the issue does not name a repository file or test beyond the sandbox.
