State Management Not Working After Refactoring
After Cursor refactored your state management code (Redux, Context, or other), state changes are no longer reflected in the UI. Components aren't updating when state changes.
The state management integration or store configuration may have been broken.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- Store not provided to app via Provider component
- Direct state mutation instead of immutable updates (Redux)
- Action/reducer refactored incorrectly, not returning new state
- Selector function broken after store shape changed
- useSelector/useDispatch hooks removed or context not passed down
How to Fix It
Verify Provider wraps app: <Provider store={store}><App /></Provider>. Use Redux Devtools to inspect actions/state. Return new state objects: return {...state, property: newValue}. Test selectors separately. Add console.log in reducer.

Why isn't component updating?
Check if you're mutating state directly. Redux requires new object: {...state, x: y}. Use Redux Devtools to verify action fires.
What's a selector?
Function that extracts part of state: const name = useSelector(state => state.user.name). Makes store shape changes easier.
