We've heard from multiple contributors that the Reconciler forking
mechanism was confusing and/or annoying to deal with. Since it's
currently unused and there's no immediate plans to start using it again,
this removes the forking.
Fully removing the fork is split into 2 steps to preserve file history:
**#25774 previous PR that did the bulk of the work:**
- remove `enableNewReconciler` feature flag.
- remove `unstable_isNewReconciler` export
- remove eslint rules for cross fork imports
- remove `*.new.js` files and update imports
- merge non-suffixed files into `*.old` files where both exist
(sometimes types were defined there)
**This PR**
- rename `*.old` files

* Manual tweaks
* Pass children to hydration root constructor
I already made this change for the concurrent root API in #23309. This
does the same thing for the legacy API.
Doesn't change any behavior, but I will use this in the next steps.
* Add isRootDehydrated function
Currently this does nothing except read a boolean field, but I'm about
to change this logic.
Since this is accessed by React DOM, too, I put the function in a
separate module that can be deep imported. Previously, it was accessing
the FiberRoot directly. The reason it's a separate module is to break a
circular dependency between React DOM and the reconciler.
* Allow updates at lower pri without forcing client render
Currently, if a root is updated before the shell has finished hydrating
(for example, due to a top-level navigation), we immediately revert to
client rendering. This is rare because the root is expected is finish
quickly, but not exceedingly rare because the root may be suspended.
This adds support for updating the root without forcing a client render
as long as the update has lower priority than the initial hydration,
i.e. if the update is wrapped in startTransition.
To implement this, I had to do some refactoring. The main idea here is
to make it closer to how we implement hydration in Suspense boundaries:
- I moved isDehydrated from the shared FiberRoot object to the
HostRoot's state object.
- In the begin phase, I check if the root has received an by comparing
the new children to the initial children. If they are different, we
revert to client rendering, and set isDehydrated to false using a
derived state update (a la getDerivedStateFromProps).
- There are a few places where we used to set root.isDehydrated to false
as a way to force a client render. Instead, I set the ForceClientRender
flag on the root work-in-progress fiber.
- Whenever we fall back to client rendering, I log a recoverable error.
The overall code structure is almost identical to the corresponding
logic for Suspense components.
The reason this works is because if the update has lower priority than
the initial hydration, it won't be processed during the hydration
render, so the children will be the same.
We can go even further and allow updates at _higher_ priority (though
not sync) by implementing selective hydration at the root, like we do
for Suspense boundaries: interrupt the current render, attempt hydration
at slightly higher priority than the update, then continue rendering the
update. I haven't implemented this yet, but I've structured the code in
anticipation of adding this later.
