Transactional UI Updates (React 18)

Summary

Model UI updates as transactions to ensure consistency across complex interactions.

Key Capabilities

• Implement transactional batching with rollback semantics.
• Coordinate multi-step updates across component boundaries.
• Ensure atomic visual state transitions.

PhD-Level Challenges

• Prove atomicity under interrupted renders.
• Formalize rollback correctness for partial updates.
• Evaluate performance trade-offs of transactional layers.

Acceptance Criteria

• Demonstrate atomic UI state transitions in a complex workflow.
• Provide rollback tests and recovery behavior.
• Document transactional guarantees and limitations.
