[query-broadcast-client-experimental] Since 5.102.0 a newly mounted query overwrites the same query's resolved data in every other tab

[kollner]

Describe the bug

Since 5.102.0 the added message carries the new query's initial state (status: 'pending', data: undefined). In every other tab the receiver does query.setState(state) when that query already exists, so a tab that has already fetched the query loses its data and goes back to pending.

In 5.101.4 the added message carried no state, and setState(undefined) was a no-op.

The change came in with #10771 (safePost refactor), where state was added to the added message along with the typed message union.

Your minimal, reproducible example

Two QueryClients in one process, wired with broadcastQueryClient over broadcast-channel's in-memory simulate transport:

import { broadcastQueryClient } from '@tanstack/query-broadcast-client-experimental'
import { QueryClient } from '@tanstack/query-core'

const wait = () => new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 50))
const key = ['k']

const tabA = new QueryClient()
const tabB = new QueryClient()
broadcastQueryClient({ queryClient: tabA, broadcastChannel: 'x', options: { type: 'simulate' } })
broadcastQueryClient({ queryClient: tabB, broadcastChannel: 'x', options: { type: 'simulate' } })

tabA.setQueryData(key, { data: 'value' })
tabB.getQueryCache().build(tabB, { queryKey: key }) // what a hook mounting in a new tab does

await wait()
console.log(tabA.getQueryState(key)?.status, tabA.getQueryData(key))
// 5.101.4: success { data: 'value' }
// 5.102.0+: pending undefined

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the app in tab 1 and let a query resolve.
2. Open tab 2, which mounts the same query.
3. Tab 1's query is now pending with no data.

Expected behavior

A tab that has already resolved a query keeps it when another tab mounts the same query. The new tab should receive the existing data (via the updated message), not the other way round.

How often does this bug happen?

Every time

Platform

• Package: @tanstack/query-broadcast-client-experimental 5.102.0 through 5.102.8 (5.101.4 is fine)
• Browser: any; also reproduces in Node with the simulate transport

Additional context

In our app this wiped the auth-config query in every open tab, which cascaded into requests without a token and a forced sign-out of all tabs. Suggested fix: on added, do not call setState on a query that already exists in the receiving cache (or only when the local query has no data); only build it when missing.
