Answer
Use request versioning, AbortController, transitions, or server components to prevent out-of-order updates.
Quick Answer
Race conditions happen when two concurrent fetches (triggered by fast input changes) resolve in the wrong order. Fix with: AbortController to cancel the previous fetch when a new one starts, a cleanup flag in useEffect that discards results if the component re-rendered with new props, or a data-fetching library that handles this automatically.
