Error Message

User getting the ERROR Minified React error #185 issues several times today. Error should occur.

Fix Action

Fixed

PR fix notes

PR #24959: fix(cli): prevent infinite update loop in useTimedMessage

Description (problem / solution / changelog)

Summary

Fixes React Error #185 ("Maximum update depth exceeded") caused by rapid state updates in useTimedMessage during fast terminal streaming.

Details

The fix introduces a useRef to track the current message state. This allows showMessage to conditionally call setMessage only when the message actually changes, preventing redundant React state enqueues in React 18's concurrent update queue while preserving the timeout reset logic.
