🎯 Changes

TanStack DB needs to distinguish an accepted fetch, its first query-function call, a direct cache write, and the result that actually entered Query cache. Query state alone cannot identify those boundaries when fetches cancel, retry, or reenter.

This PR adds a cache-wide sequence clock and exposes those positions through Query cache events, query-function contexts, and observer results. A source-start event carries the installed retryer promise. Query Core leaves result provenance unknown when a custom persister or behavior can return data unrelated to the query function. Tests cover cancellation, retries, reentrant fetches, custom contexts, infinite queries, and observer notification order.

Local checks: Query Core tests pass (1,648 tests across 42 files), along with supported TypeScript checks, build, lint, and formatting. The full test:pr command stops before tests because the current lockfile fails its minimum-release-age policy for ten entries whose versions are absent from the configured registry manifest.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I have followed the AI contribution policy and fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Query and observer results expose the data update count and sequence information for the latest fetch and, when known, the fetch that supplied the displayed data.
    • Query-function contexts include fetch and source sequence identifiers, linking a function call to its fetch operation. Source attribution may be unavailable for opaque custom behaviors or persisters.
    • Query-cache notifications include fetch-start, source-start, and fetch-cancelled events with sequence metadata. Retries retain the fetch sequence while tracked query-function invocations can receive their own source sequence.

📝 Walkthrough

Query Core assigns sequence positions to accepted fetches and tracked query-function invocations. Query, cache-event, and observer-result APIs expose fetch and data provenance. Tests cover retries, cancellation, infinite queries, custom behaviors, persisters, and observer selection.

🟡 Minor · Recognize getter-backed contexts when fetchSequence is omitted. · query.ts:883-907

packages/query-core/src/query.ts:883-907
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Recognize getter-backed contexts when fetchSequence is omitted.

FetchContext.fetchSequence is optional, and custom behaviors can invoke the tracked context.options.queryFn themselves. If such a behavior omits fetchSequence but preserves the current context's getter-backed signal, belongsToThisFetch reads descriptor.value and rejects the context. The query function runs without sourceSequence reservation or fetchSourceStarted.

Track the getter identity in addSignalProperty and accept it in the fallback without reading the getter. The resulting undefined dataSourceSequence can remain intentional when a custom behavior controls the result.

Suggested fix
     const abortController = new AbortController()
+    const signalGetters = new WeakSet<() => unknown>()

     // Adds an enumerable signal property to the object that
     // which sets abortSignalConsumed to true when the signal
     // is read.
     const addSignalProperty = (object: unknown) => {
+      const signalGetter = () => {
+        this.#abortSignalConsumed = true
+        return abortController.signal
+      }
+      signalGetters.add(signalGetter)
       Object.defineProperty(object, 'signal', {
         enumerable: true,
-        get: () => {
-          this.#abortSignalConsumed = true
-          return abortController.signal
-        },
+        get: signalGetter,
       })
     }
