jeremy-clerk · 2026-08-31T22:51:05Z

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

StateProxy now prefers sign-in and sign-up attempts from state signals and falls back to client futures when needed. Sign-in status is resolved dynamically. Tests cover pre-load ticket flows, retained completed attempts, fallback behavior, newer state precedence, and refreshed client attempts. A patch changeset was added for @clerk/react.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c2ea4

This localized React fix finalizes ticket flows started before Clerk loads and reports the actual proxy status; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

+        get status() {
+          return gateProperty(target, 'status', 'needs_identifier');
+        },


this makes sense to me!

dstaley · 2026-08-31T23:40:07Z

  private buildSignInProxy() {
    const gateProperty = this.gateProperty.bind(this);
-    const target = () => this.client.signIn.__internal_future;
+    const target = () => this.state.signInSignal().signIn ?? this.client.signIn.__internal_future;


in what case would signInSignal().signIn have a different value than the Clerk client? I don't think that's supposed to happen.

typically they match, but after a ticket completes, the client can replace signIn with an empty attempt while the state signal keeps the completed attempt until finalize() or reset(). the proxy was calling finalize() on the new empty client attempt instead of the retained one
