🎯 Changes

Prevent cancelled streams from changing cached data when streamFn does not read the abort signal. Link each core context to its fetch signal internally, while keeping the existing behavior for streams that continue after unsubscribe.

Add tests for cancellation, replacement queries, queued chunks, delayed contexts, and custom signal getters. No public API changes.

Local checks pass for all 24 streamed query tests, query-core types, and lint. The full affected-project check completed with 588 successful tasks. It fails on the Preact simple example because its type check includes generated dist JavaScript. That example's source type check passes after the generated output is removed.

Related to #11068.

  • 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

  • Bug Fixes
    • Cancelled streamed queries no longer update cached data in append or replace mode, even when the stream ignores the abort signal.
    • Cancellation during delayed query or persister execution prevents the stream from starting.
    • Older streams can no longer overwrite results from a replacement query or a newer stream.
    • Chunks resolved immediately before cancellation no longer update the cache.
    • Unsubscribing an observer still allows streams that do not consume the abort signal to finish.

Walkthrough

The fetch context now exposes an internal signal separately from its public signal getter. Streamed queries use that signal to avoid starting after cancellation and to stop cache updates when a stream is cancelled or aborted.

Changes: Streamed-query cancellation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fetch-signal context and query-context assertions
packages/query-core/src/utils.ts, packages/query-core/src/query.ts, packages/query-core/src/infiniteQueryBehavior.ts, packages/query-core/src/__tests__/utils.test.tsx, packages/query-core/src/__tests__/infiniteQueryBehavior.test.tsx, packages/angular-query-experimental/src/__tests__/inject-query.test.ts
Fetch contexts carry an internal signal under a symbol key. The public signal getter remains lazy and tracks signal consumption. Infinite-query and Angular query-context assertions allow additional properties. A utility test checks that the internal signal does not appear in serialized context properties.
Stream cancellation guards and coverage
packages/query-core/src/streamedQuery.ts, packages/query-core/src/__tests__/streamedQuery.test.tsx, .changeset/tidy-streams-stop.md
The query checks for an already-aborted signal before stream setup. It stops iteration and skips replace-refetch cache writes when cancelled or aborted. Tests cover cancellation during streaming and delayed setup, stale streams, and custom signal getters. The changeset describes the cancellation behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

  • TanStack/query#12447: Changes the callback type for addConsumeAwareSignal, which this PR also updates.

Suggested reviewers: razhayat, sukvvon

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 5ca88

Some query contexts can fail serialization, and cancelled streams can overwrite newer data through a reconstructed persister context. These issues should be addressed before merging.

Carry the internal fetch signal through reconstructed persister contexts.

When a persister reconstructs the public context, it can omit fetchSignal. A stream that ignores signal can then write a late chunk after explicit cancellation and overwrite replacement cache data. Wrap the persister's query function so it receives the original non-consuming internal fetch signal, while forwarding the reconstructed context's public properties and lazy signal getter. Do not read context.signal as a fallback.
