+// listener-driven `setState`. On the next listener-driven `setState(prev => prev)`
+// the eager-bailout precondition (`fiber.lanes === NoLanes && alternate.lanes === NoLanes`)
+// fails, so React enqueues the update, enters `beginWork`, runs the component
+// function, and only then discards the JSX via `bailoutOnAlreadyFinishedWork`.
+// The DOM never changes — but the function already ran. A `useEffect` cannot
+// observe this leak because no commit happens. The in-render counter can.
+//
+// This is a React-18-only glitch (React 19 relaxed the precondition), so the
+// test is most meaningful under `test-rit--18--e2e`. On React 17/18 against
