React 18 Dataflow Formalization

Summary

Formalize dataflow semantics in React 18 applications to ensure correctness across asynchronous boundaries.

Key Capabilities

• Model data dependencies and propagation semantics.
• Detect cycles and hidden data coupling.
• Enforce deterministic state transitions under concurrency.

PhD-Level Challenges

• Prove confluence for dataflow updates.
• Derive minimal dependency sets for stable recomputation.
• Validate properties with model-based tests.

Acceptance Criteria

• Provide a dataflow model and proof sketch.
• Demonstrate elimination of dataflow cycles.
• Include property-based tests for update correctness.
