🎯 Changes
Fixes #9681

When more than one devtools panel is mounted on the same page, interacting with one panel leaked into the others (e.g. selecting a query in panel A selected it in panel B too).

Root cause: selectedQueryHash, selectedMutationId, panelWidth, and offline were Solid signals created once at module scope in packages/query-devtools/src/Devtools.tsx. Every mount() creates a separate Solid render() root, but module-level signals are singletons shared across all roots.

Fix: the signals are now created inside a new DevtoolsStateProvider component (one copy per devtools instance) and consumed via a useDevtoolsState() hook, following the existing PiPContext pattern. Both entry points (DevtoolsComponent and DevtoolsPanelComponent) are wrapped in the provider.

Also added src/tests/DevtoolsIsolation.test.tsx with five tests mounting two panels with separate QueryClients: selecting a query in one panel must not affect the other, and deselecting in one must not clear the other's selection. Both fail before the fix and pass after.

✅ Checklist

🚀 Release Impact
• [x] This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
• [ ] This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Devtools panels now keep query and mutation selections, panel width, and offline status independent, so changes in one panel don’t affect another.
    • Query and mutation cache updates are now scoped to each panel, and the offline indicator tracks the configured online status.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Devtools selection, panel width, offline status, and cache-subscription maps now belong to a DevtoolsStateProvider instance. Both devtools entry points mount the provider, and components read state through its hook. Tests check independent selections and cache updates across panels.

Changes

Devtools state isolation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-instance state contract
packages/query-devtools/src/contexts/DevtoolsStateContext.tsx, packages/query-devtools/src/contexts/index.ts
Adds the state context, provider, and hook. Each provider creates its own selection signals and cache-subscription maps. It initializes offline status from its configured onlineManager and subscribes to status changes.
Provider wiring and state use
packages/query-devtools/src/DevtoolsComponent.tsx, packages/query-devtools/src/DevtoolsPanelComponent.tsx, packages/query-devtools/src/Devtools.tsx, .changeset/tidy-pandas-switch.md
Mounts the provider in both devtools entry points. Devtools components obtain selection, panel width, offline status, and cache-subscription maps through the hook. Adds a patch changeset.
Isolation coverage
packages/query-devtools/src/__tests__/Devtools.test.tsx, packages/query-devtools/src/__tests__/DevtoolsIsolation.test.tsx
Updates the existing test wrapper and adds tests for independent query selection, per-client cache updates, updates after one panel unmounts, and offline indicator status.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6d58d

Each mounted panel now owns its state and cache subscriptions, preventing another panel’s updates or unmount from interfering. The change is mergeable subject to normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6d58d

The change reduces unintended sharing between devtools panels while preserving their configured client and connectivity controls. No introduced security issue was identified. Remaining uncertainty concerns existing subscription behavior during live client replacement and overlapping component lifecycles.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — For separate mounted entrypoints, callback delivery and registry cleanup are contained within each provider. Connectivity effects can still span every consumer of an intentionally shared online manager; provider-local state does not make that manager private.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The provider-local registries remove the former cross-panel callback path in which a notification from one client's cache could invoke another panel's registered callbacks. This is an isolation improvement, not evidence of a newly introduced attacker entrypoint.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — The provider establishes a component-state ownership boundary, not an authentication or tenant-isolation boundary. Panels supplied the same QueryClient or online manager retain access to those shared objects; the change prevents implicit sharing of selection signals and callback registries.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The added tests assert independent selection, client-specific displayed data, continued updates after another panel unmounts, and panel-only online-state observation. They provide targeted isolation assertions, but were inspected rather than executed in this review and do not cover live client replacement or overlapping transition lifecycles.

🟠 Major · Isolate the cache subscription registries as well. · Devtools.tsx:2590-2596

packages/query-devtools/src/Devtools.tsx:2590-2596
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Isolate the cache subscription registries as well.

The signals are now isolated, but queryCacheMap and mutationCacheMap still connect all mounted instances. In packages/query-devtools/src/Devtools.tsx, Lines 2604–2609 and 2663–2667 pass the emitting cache to every registered callback.

When panels A and B select the same query key, a later update from client A replaces panel B's derived query values with client A's values. Panel B can display client A's data, and its Refetch handler can fetch client A's query. Closing or unmounting either panel also clears the other panel's registrations through the global clear() calls.

Scope both registries to their owning cache subscription. Remove only that subscription's registrations during cleanup. Extend the isolation tests to cover cache updates and unmounting one panel.

For reviewers: I see #11116 also fixes #9681 with a similar approach. That PR was approved back in August but has been stalled on a failing build since, with no activity. This is a fresh implementation with all checks green, new isolation tests, and a changeset included. Happy to defer to #11116 if maintainers prefer to revive it.
