Description

Image https://react.dev/reference/rsc/server-functions#server-functions-with-actions
  1. Shouldn't setError and setName need to be wrapped with a new startTransition?
  2. It seems meaningless to apply startTransition to await updateName in the document, doesn't it?

Research direction

Start with the linked Server Functions with Actions example in the React documentation, then compare its use of startTransition with the guidance in the useTransition section about state updates after await. Determine whether the example and explanation correctly describe the required transitions, and update the documentation so the usage and expected behavior are unambiguous.
