Summary

Fixes #11216.

Mutation.execute() kept this.#retryer after the mutation settled, while Query.fetch() already clears it after #11163. The settled retryer promise retains that mutation's variables and result for as long as MutationCache keeps the instance.

This change mirrors the query cleanup: capture the local retryer, clear this.#retryer in finally when it still owns that instance, then run the next queued mutation.

Validation

  • pnpm --filter @tanstack/query-core exec vitest run src/__tests__/mutations.test.tsx — 25 passed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Settled mutations now release retry-related resources after execution completes.
    • Mutation variables and results are no longer retained unnecessarily for the lifetime of the mutation cache.
    • Continuing a settled mutation starts a fresh execution as expected.

Mirror the Query.fetch() cleanup from TanStack#11163 so a settled Mutation no
longer retains its Retryer (and closed-over variables/result) for the
MutationCache lifetime.

Fixes TanStack#11216

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Mutation.execute now releases its settled retryer. The implementation preserves newer retryers, and a regression test verifies that mutation.continue() starts a fresh execution. A patch changeset documents the fix.

Changes

Mutation retryer release

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release retryer after settlement
packages/query-core/src/mutation.ts
Mutation.execute stores the retryer locally, uses that reference during execution, and clears the instance retryer in finally when it remains the active retryer.
Validate fresh mutation execution
packages/query-core/src/__tests__/mutations.test.tsx, .changeset/release-mutation-settled-retryer.md
The regression test verifies that mutation.continue() invokes the mutation function again after settlement. The changeset records the patch release.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cd769

The mutation cleanup change is localized, but the re-entrant execution path that protects a newer retryer from being cleared is not directly covered. This is a bounded correctness risk for owner follow-up and does not block merge.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Add a re-entrant execution test for the identity guard.

The current test calls mutation.continue() at Line 1187 after the first execute() has already resolved. This does not verify the case where a second execution replaces this.#retryer before the first finally block runs. Add a test that starts a second execution from an onSettled callback and confirms that the first cleanup does not clear the newer retryer.
