Why must reducers used with useReducer be pure?

Senior React
Quick Answer Pure reducers make state transitions predictable and testable. React may call the reducer multiple times in Strict Mode or concurrent rendering to verify it's pure. An impure reducer (one with side effects or non-deterministic output) would produce different states on each call Ò€” causing unpredictable behavior.

Answer

Impure reducers cause unpredictable state and break React’s deterministic rendering model.
