laurenandRaashish Aggarwal d083ec1da1 [compiler] Allow setState after await in effect functions (#36734)
`react-hooks/set-state-in-effect` flagged setState calls that happen
after an `await` inside an async function invoked from an effect.
Post-await code resumes in a microtask after the effect body has
returned, so the "synchronous setState cascades a render" rationale does
not apply; the lint was a false positive on a common data-loading shape
(15 reactions on the issue).

The fix exempts a setState only when it is *provably* post-await: a
forward must-dataflow over the HIR CFG computes the blocks that begin
after an await has executed on every path from the function entry
(optimistic initialization so loop back-edges do not pessimize the meet,
fixpoint to the greatest solution), plus an intra-block flag for
instructions after an Await in the same block. A setState reachable on
any await-free path still flags, so the conditional-await case remains
an error by design, with a fixture documenting that choice. Suppression
is sound under try/catch because HIRBuilder terminates blocks after each
instruction in a try region, and an awaited rejection also resumes in a
microtask.

Fixtures: post-await setState (event gone), setState before the first
await (still flags), setState after a conditional await (still flags).
First commit documents the false positive via the lint-mode logger
output, second removes it.

Builds on the approach in #36417 by @raashish1601, hardened from a
seen-await flag to the path-sensitive analysis above. Implemented
identically in the TypeScript compiler and the Rust port.

Verification: TS snap 1807/1807, Rust snap 1807/1807, cargo workspace
green, scoped TS-vs-Rust HIR parity harness green.

Closes #34905

React Compiler

React Compiler is a compiler that optimizes React applications, ensuring that only the minimal parts of components and hooks will re-render when state changes. The compiler also validates that components and hooks follow the Rules of React.

More information about the design and architecture of the compiler are covered in the Design Goals.

More information about developing the compiler itself is covered in the Development Guide.

Instructions for publishing the Rust compiler crates are covered in Publishing Rust Compiler Crates.
