Your job is to find every pattern that will break or warn in React 18.3.1. **Read everything. Fix nothing.** Your output is `.github/react18-audit.md`.\n\n## Memory protocol\n\nRead prior scan progress:\n\n```\n#tool:memory read repository \"react18-audit-progress\"\n```\n\nWrite after each phase:\n\n```\n#tool:memory write repository \"react18-audit-progress\" \"phase[N]-complete:[N]-hits\"\n```\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 0 - Codebase Profile\n\nBefore scanning for specific patterns, understand the codebase shape:\n\n```bash\n# Total JS/JSX source files\nfind src/ \\( -name \"*.js\" -o -name \"*.jsx\" \\) | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\\|\\.spec\\.\\|__tests__\\|node_modules\" | wc -l\n\n# Class component count vs function component rough count\ngrep -rl \"extends React\\.Component\\|extends Component\\|extends PureComponent\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" | wc -l\ngrep -rl \"const.*=.*(\\(.*\\)\\s*=\u003e\\|function [A-Z]\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" | wc -l\n\n# Current React version\nnode -e \"console.log(require('./node_modules/react/package.json').version)\" 2\u003e/dev/null\ncat package.json | grep '\"react\"'\n```\n\nRecord the ratio - this tells us how class-heavy the work will be.\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 1 - Unsafe Lifecycle Methods (Class Component Killers)\n\nThese were deprecated in React 16.3 but still silently invoked in 16 and 17 if the app wasn't using StrictMode. React 18 requires the `UNSAFE_` prefix OR proper migration. React 18.3.1 warns on all of them.\n\n```bash\n# componentWillMount - move logic to componentDidMount or constructor\ngrep -rn \"componentWillMount\\b\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"UNSAFE_componentWillMount\\|\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# componentWillReceiveProps - replace with getDerivedStateFromProps or componentDidUpdate\ngrep -rn \"componentWillReceiveProps\\b\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"UNSAFE_componentWillReceiveProps\\|\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# componentWillUpdate - replace with getSnapshotBeforeUpdate or componentDidUpdate\ngrep -rn \"componentWillUpdate\\b\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"UNSAFE_componentWillUpdate\\|\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# Check if any UNSAFE_ prefix already in use (partial migration?)\ngrep -rn \"UNSAFE_component\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n```\n\nWrite memory: `phase1-complete`\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 2 - Automatic Batching Vulnerability Scan\n\nThis is the **#1 silent runtime breaker** in React 18 for class components. In React 17, state updates inside Promises and setTimeout triggered immediate re-renders. In React 18, they batch. Class components with logic like this will silently compute wrong state:\n\n```jsx\n// DANGEROUS PATTERN - worked in React 17, breaks in React 18\nasync handleClick() {\n  this.setState({ loading: true });  // used to re-render immediately\n  const data = await fetchData();\n  if (this.state.loading) {          // this.state.loading is STILL old value in React 18\n    this.setState({ data });\n  }\n}\n```\n\n```bash\n# Find async class methods with multiple setState calls\ngrep -rn \"async\\s\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" | grep -v \"node_modules\" | head -30\n\n# Find setState inside setTimeout or Promises\ngrep -rn \"setTimeout.*setState\\|\\.then.*setState\\|setState.*setTimeout\\|await.*setState\\|setState.*await\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# Find setState in promise callbacks\ngrep -A5 -B5 \"\\.then\\s*(\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep \"setState\" | head -20 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# Find setState in native event handlers (onclick via addEventListener)\ngrep -rn \"addEventListener.*setState\\|setState.*addEventListener\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# Find conditional setState that reads this.state after async\ngrep -B3 \"this\\.state\\.\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -B2 \"await\\|\\.then\\|setTimeout\" | head -30 2\u003e/dev/null\n```\n\nFlag every async method in a class component that has multiple setState calls - they ALL need batching review.\n\nWrite memory: `phase2-complete`\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 3 - Legacy Context API\n\nUsed heavily in React 16 class apps for theming, auth, routing. Deprecated since React 16.3, silently working through 17, warns in React 18.3.1, **removed in React 19**.\n\n```bash\n# childContextTypes - provider side of legacy context\ngrep -rn \"childContextTypes\\s*=\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# contextTypes - consumer side\ngrep -rn \"contextTypes\\s*=\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# getChildContext - the provider method\ngrep -rn \"getChildContext\\s*(\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# this.context usage (may indicate legacy context consumer)\ngrep -rn \"this\\.context\\.\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" | head -20 2\u003e/dev/null\n```\n\nWrite memory: `phase3-complete`\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 4 - String Refs\n\nUsed commonly in React 16 class components. Deprecated in 16.3, silently works through 17, warns in React 18.3.1.\n\n```bash\n# String ref assignment in JSX\ngrep -rn 'ref=\"\\|ref='\"'\"'' src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# this.refs accessor\ngrep -rn \"this\\.refs\\.\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n```\n\nWrite memory: `phase4-complete`\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 5 - findDOMNode\n\nCommon in React 16 class components. Deprecated, warns in React 18.3.1, removed in React 19.\n\n```bash\ngrep -rn \"findDOMNode\\|ReactDOM\\.findDOMNode\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n```\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 6 - Root API (ReactDOM.render)\n\nReact 18 deprecates `ReactDOM.render` and requires `createRoot` to enable concurrent features and automatic batching. This is typically just the entry point (`index.js` / `main.js`) but scan everywhere.\n\n```bash\ngrep -rn \"ReactDOM\\.render\\s*(\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" 2\u003e/dev/null\ngrep -rn \"ReactDOM\\.hydrate\\s*(\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" 2\u003e/dev/null\ngrep -rn \"unmountComponentAtNode\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n```\n\nNote: `ReactDOM.render` still works in React 18 (with a warning) but **must** be upgraded to `createRoot` to get automatic batching. Apps staying on legacy root will NOT get the batching fix.\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 7 - Event Delegation Change (React 16 → 17 Carry-Over)\n\nReact 17 changed event delegation from `document` to the root container. If this app went from React 16 directly to 18 (skipping 17 properly), it may have code that attaches listeners to `document` expecting to intercept React events.\n\n```bash\n# document-level event listeners\ngrep -rn \"document\\.addEventListener\\|document\\.removeEventListener\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" | grep -v \"node_modules\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# window event listeners that might be React-event-dependent\ngrep -rn \"window\\.addEventListener\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" | grep -v \"\\.test\\.\" | head -15 2\u003e/dev/null\n```\n\nFlag any `document.addEventListener` for manual review - particularly ones listening for `click`, `keydown`, `focus`, `blur` which overlap with React's synthetic event system.\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 8 - StrictMode Status\n\nReact 18 StrictMode is stricter than React 16/17 StrictMode. If the app wasn't using StrictMode before, there will be no existing UNSAFE_ migration. If it was - there may already be some done.\n\n```bash\ngrep -rn \"StrictMode\\|React\\.StrictMode\" src/ --include=\"*.js\" --include=\"*.jsx\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n```\n\nIf StrictMode was NOT used in React 16/17 - expect a large number of `componentWillMount` etc. hits since those warnings were only surfaced under StrictMode.\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 9 - Dependency Compatibility Check\n\n```bash\ncat package.json | python3 -c \"\nimport sys, json\nd = json.load(sys.stdin)\ndeps = {**d.get('dependencies',{}), **d.get('devDependencies',{})}\nfor k, v in sorted(deps.items()):\n    if any(x in k.lower() for x in ['react','testing','jest','apollo','emotion','router','redux','query']):\n        print(f'{k}: {v}')\n\"\n\nnpm ls 2\u003e\u00261 | grep -E \"WARN|ERR|peer|invalid\" | head -20\n```\n\nKnown React 18 peer dependency upgrade requirements:\n\n- `@testing-library/react` → 14+ (RTL 13 uses `ReactDOM.render` internally)\n- `@apollo/client` → 3.8+ for React 18 concurrent mode support\n- `@emotion/react` → 11.10+ for React 18\n- `react-router-dom` → v6.x for React 18\n- Any library pinned to `react: \"^16 || ^17\"` - check if they have an 18-compatible release\n\n---\n\n## PHASE 10 - Test File Audit\n\n```bash\n# Tests using legacy render patterns\ngrep -rn \"ReactDOM\\.render\\s*(\\|mount(\\|shallow(\" src/ --include=\"*.test.*\" --include=\"*.spec.*\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# Tests with manual batching assumptions (unmocked setTimeout + state assertions)\ngrep -rn \"setTimeout\\|act(\\|waitFor(\" src/ --include=\"*.test.*\" | head -20 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# act() import location\ngrep -rn \"from 'react-dom/test-utils'\" src/ --include=\"*.test.*\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n\n# Enzyme usage (incompatible with React 18)\ngrep -rn \"from 'enzyme'\\|shallow\\|mount\\|configure.*Adapter\" src/ --include=\"*.test.*\" 2\u003e/dev/null\n```\n\n**Critical:** If Enzyme is found → this is a major blocker. Enzyme does not support React 18. Every Enzyme test must be rewritten using React Testing Library.\n\n---\n\n## Report Generation\n\nCreate `.github/react18-audit.md`:\n\n```markdown\n# React 18.3.1 Migration Audit Report\nGenerated: [timestamp]\nCurrent React Version: [version]\nCodebase Profile: ~[N] class components / ~[N] function components\n\n## ⚠️ Why 18.3.1 is the Target\nReact 18.3.1 emits explicit deprecation warnings for every API that React 19 will remove.\nA clean 18.3.1 build with zero warnings = a codebase ready for the React 19 orchestra.\n\n## 🔴 Critical - Silent Runtime Breakers\n\n### Automatic Batching Vulnerabilities\nThese patterns WORKED in React 17 but will produce wrong behavior in React 18 without flushSync.\n| File | Line | Pattern | Risk |\n[Every async class method with setState chains]\n\n### Enzyme Usage (React 18 Incompatible)\n[List every file - these must be completely rewritten in RTL]\n\n## 🟠 Unsafe Lifecycle Methods (Warns in 18.3.1, Required for React 19)\n\n### componentWillMount (→ componentDidMount or constructor)\n| File | Line | What it does | Migration path |\n[List every hit]\n\n### componentWillReceiveProps (→ getDerivedStateFromProps or componentDidUpdate)\n| File | Line | What it does | Migration path |\n[List every hit]\n\n### componentWillUpdate (→ getSnapshotBeforeUpdate or componentDidUpdate)\n| File | Line | What it does | Migration path |\n[List every hit]\n\n## 🟠 Legacy Root API\n\n### ReactDOM.render (→ createRoot - required for batching)\n[List all hits]\n\n## 🟡 Deprecated APIs (Warn in 18.3.1, Removed in React 19)\n\n### Legacy Context (contextTypes / childContextTypes / getChildContext)\n[List all hits - these are typically cross-file: find the provider AND consumer for each]\n\n### String Refs\n[List all this.refs.x usage]\n\n### findDOMNode\n[List all hits]\n\n## 🔵 Event Delegation Audit\n\n### document.addEventListener Patterns to Review\n[List all hits with context - flag those that may interact with React events]\n\n## 📦 Dependency Issues\n\n### Peer Conflicts\n[npm ls output filtered to errors]\n\n### Packages Needing Upgrade for React 18\n[List each package with current version and required version]\n\n### Enzyme (BLOCKER if found)\n[If found: list all files with Enzyme imports - full RTL rewrite required]\n\n## Test File Issues\n[List all test-specific patterns needing migration]\n\n## Ordered Migration Plan\n\n1. npm install react@18.3.1 react-dom@18.3.1\n2.
