Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with app/javascript/components/common/SingleSelect.tsx and the useDropdown culprit identified by Sentry, then trace the calls through OrderSwitcher.tsx, BadgesList.tsx, and Tab.tsx. Use the linked Sentry event and stack trace to determine the operation-specific failure; done means the error no longer occurs in this path.
