Research direction

The report names no file or test; start by reproducing the useState/setState flow with an await between updates and inspect the relevant frontend entry point. Done means the expected state update after the async gap is reproducible, its cause is identified, and the behavior is covered by a regression check.

Description

Details

I have a [state, setState] couple from useState.

setState works fine in the first call, but after an 'await someAsyncFunction' it doesn't work anymore.

I know flutter warns of using context across async gaps, so this may be similar
