Description

Summary

By reading the React 19 blog post. It shows two equivalent pieces of code, one of which uses useTransition and the other useActionState. I get a strong impression that this means that useActionState explicitly creates a Transition. Is this true? If so, can it be documented in the useActionState reference? Thanks!

Research direction

Start by comparing the two equivalent examples in the React 19 blog post under Actions with the useActionState reference. Verify whether useActionState explicitly creates a Transition, then update that reference to state the behavior clearly and confirm the documentation matches the demonstrated equivalence.
