How does React guarantee atomic state updates in concurrent mode?

Senior React
Quick Answer React uses lanes to batch related updates. When multiple state updates occur (within a transition, for example), React groups them into the same lane and commits them all together atomically. The commit phase is synchronous รขโ‚ฌโ€ no interruptions allowed. This guarantees users always see a consistent UI, never a half-applied state.

Answer

React maintains current and work-in-progress trees. Commit replaces a whole subtree at once, ensuring atomicity.
