▸case-01 We are building a user registration form in React. Developers currently manage UI state with separate boolean flags `isEditing`, `isValidating`, `isSubmitting`, `isSuccess`, and `hasError`, leading to bugs where validation and submission run concurrently. Design a finite state machine lifecycle for this form component that explicitly structures valid transitions and eliminates invalid states. | fail→fail | 20,631 | 14,161 | -31% | 1 | 1 | 0% | 4,274 | 3,392 | -21% | 0 | 0 | — |
▸case-02 A team is building a live metrics dashboard table that fetches remote data. Currently, they use booleans `isLoading` and `isError`. When a retry occurs, `isError` stays true while `isLoading` becomes true, showing two spinners and an error banner simultaneously. Model a finite state machine for this data fetching flow that prevents simultaneous loading and error states. | pass→pass | 17,297 | 14,763 | -15% | 1 | 1 | 0% | 3,457 | 3,499 | +1% | 0 | 0 | — |
