Summary

Add opt-in cross-tab cache bootstrap with restore gating, per-query hydration, bounded timeouts, and framework integrations
while preserving the existing synchronous broadcast API

🎯 Changes

Fixes #2142.

A newly opened tab could execute query functions before receiving the
existing cache state from another tab, causing duplicate initial requests

This PR adds an opt-in bootstrap and restore flow:

  • Adds broadcastQueryClientRestore().
  • Requests cache snapshots from existing tabs using request and response IDs
  • Hydrates individual queries and resolves conflicts using dataUpdatedAt
  • Prevents bootstrap hydration from being rebroadcast
  • Adds a bounded and configurable restore timeout
  • Handles malformed, duplicate, late, and unknown messages
  • Isolates structured-clone and hydration failures
  • Keeps live synchronization active on the same BroadcastChannel
  • Prevents stale live updates from overwriting fresher cache data
  • Adds restore-gate integrations for React, Preact, Solid, Svelte, and Angular
  • Preserves the existing synchronous broadcastQueryClient() API
  • Adds extensive protocol, hydration, lifecycle, adapter, compatibility, and
    type tests
  • Updates documentation and adds a changeset

Existing users can continue using:

broadcastQueryClient({
  queryClient,
  broadcastChannel: 'my-app',
})

Bootstrap is opt-in and does not require existing consumers to change their
code

511-511: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Restore always waits the full timeout.

completeRestore runs only from restoreTimer or from cleanup. The protocol has no end-of-response marker and no "no cache" reply, so a tab that receives every snapshot immediately, or that has no peers at all, still blocks restorePromise for the whole timeout. With the default of 1000 ms every first paint gated on this promise is delayed by one second in the common single-tab case.

Consider adding a response-complete message that a responder posts after its last cache-response, and resolve early once all known responders finish. As an alternative, document that the timeout is a fixed delay so callers can pick a small value.

In `@docs/framework/react/plugins/broadcastQueryClient.md`:
- Line 39: Update the broadcastQueryClientRestore example to demonstrate
invoking the returned cleanup function when the QueryClient is replaced or
disposed, or explicitly document that callers must perform this teardown. Ensure
the old synchronization session’s channel and listeners are released before
bootstrapping a replacement client.

In `@packages/angular-query-persist-client/src/with-broadcast-query-client.ts`:
- Line 42: Update the non-browser guard in the broadcast query client
initialization to set the isRestoring signal to false before returning, so SSR
does not remain blocked by provideIsRestoring. Add a regression test covering
non-browser initialization and verifying the restore state is cleared.

In `@packages/query-broadcast-client-experimental/src/index.ts`:
- Around line 451-454: Make cache-request handling opt-in in
broadcastQueryClient by gating respondToCacheRequest behind the
restore/bootstrap configuration. Extend BroadcastQueryClientOptions as needed to
carry the responder enablement and dehydrateOptions, preserving filtering and
onBroadcastRestoreError behavior for opted-in callers while unchanged
synchronous callers do not respond or broadcast the complete cache.

In `@packages/react-query-persist-client/src/BroadcastQueryClientProvider.tsx`:
- Line 31: The BroadcastQueryClientProvider implementations must synchronously
gate rendering when props.client changes, rather than relying only on the
passive effect’s setIsRestoring call; track the client change during render and
include it in the restoring value while keeping session creation and cleanup in
the effect. Apply this in
packages/react-query-persist-client/src/BroadcastQueryClientProvider.tsx:31 and
packages/preact-query-persist-client/src/BroadcastQueryClientProvider.tsx:33,
and add rerender regression tests to both provider test files.
