[FIX-002] React 19 Dispatcher Multi-Instance Clash

📝 Problem Background

The application boots to a white screen with a console error: Minified React error #525. This was the most severe system-level crash in the scaffold's history.

🧪 Effort Metrics

  • Attempt Count: 8+ (multiple retries and logic rollbacks)
  • Time Spent: 4 hours
  • Complexity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Extreme)

🔍 Root Cause Analysis

  1. Dispatcher Conflict: React 19 strictly forbids multiple instances sharing a context. Due to automatic resolution by the importmap, TanStack and i18next were pulling in their own versioned React, causing multiple React dispatchers to exist in memory.
  2. ESM Isolation Failure: esm.sh's default resolution could map the same package to different URLs (e.g., react and react/), leading to inconsistent import paths.

🛠️ Fix Strategy

ERP (Environmental Runtime Protection) Protocol v4:

  • Forced Externalization: In the importmap, all third-party libraries must append ?external=react,react-dom.
  • Version Anchoring: The use of @latest is forbidden. All React-related imports must physically point to a specific hash address like 19.2.3.
  • Initialization Protection: Root rendering is forcibly wrapped in startTransition to allow rendering to be deferred until mounting is complete.

Note: This forms the physical basis for Instant Ship's ability to run across different environments.
