Problem

When an element is mounted during a scheduler flush, its mounted directive hooks are queued to the post-flush queue. If the element is updated in the same flush before that queue runs (e.g. by a watch() created outside of components, which runs after the component jobs), the hooks run in this order:

beforeUpdate  (new binding)
mounted       (binding from mount time)  ← stale
updated       (new binding)

Component mounted hooks read live state, but directive mounted hooks receive the binding saved when the element mounted. Any directive that writes to the DOM in beforeUpdate and in mounted undoes the update. v-model on text inputs, textareas and checkboxes does this: beforeUpdate sets the new value, then mounted restores the old one.

Fix

In invokeDirectiveHook:

  • beforeMount marks each binding as pending.
  • An update of a pending binding links it to the new vnode.
  • The queued mounted hook follows the links to the latest binding and vnode, and resets oldValue to undefined as for a regular mount.

No links are created once mounted has run, so nothing is retained afterwards. This fixes the issue for all directives, not only v-model.

Performance

There's no WeakMap or other per-element bookkeeping: mounting does two extra property writes per binding, and updates do one extra read. Mounting and updating 20k elements with a directive (runtime-test, median of 5 alternating runs) showed no measurable difference: mount ~38.9 → ~38.3 ms, update ~31.6 → ~31.8 ms.

Tests

  • runtime-core: a custom directive updated before its queued mounted hook receives the latest binding and vnode, with oldValue undefined.
  • runtime-core: the same while a pending Suspense holds back the mounted hooks and the hidden branch is updated.
  • runtime-dom: v-model text, textarea, checkbox (boolean, array and unchanged value), radio and select, each mounted and updated in the same flush.

Alternative

If changes to invokeDirectiveHook aren't wanted, this can be fixed in vModelText / vModelCheckbox instead. Custom directives would then still get the stale binding.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Directive lifecycle hooks now receive the latest binding when a value changes before the mounted hook runs, including while content is deferred by Suspense. This keeps directive behavior consistent when updates happen before mounting is complete.
    • Form controls now correctly reflect model updates that occur during the same render cycle in which they mount. This applies to text inputs, textareas, checkboxes, radio buttons, and select elements, including checkbox models that use arrays.

An element mounted during a flush queues its mounted directive hooks to
the post-flush queue. If the element is updated in the same flush before
that queue runs, the mounted hooks received the binding from mount time
and could undo the update, e.g. v-model restoring the old value.

Link bindings whose mounted hooks are still pending to the vnode of the
next update, so the mounted hooks receive the latest binding and vnode.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Directive hook invocation now tracks binding updates that occur before queued mounted hooks run. The mounted hook uses the latest linked binding and vnode. Regression tests cover directive lifecycle timing and v-model state across form controls.

Changes

Directive mount updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pending binding selection
packages/runtime-core/src/directives.ts
invokeDirectiveHook links bindings across updates before mounted runs. The mounted hook uses the latest binding and vnode, and clears oldValue when the selected vnode differs from the original.
Mount update regression tests
packages/runtime-core/__tests__/directives.spec.ts, packages/runtime-dom/__tests__/directives/vModel.spec.ts
Runtime-core tests check hook order and arguments during regular updates and pending Suspense, including directive replacement. Runtime-dom tests check model values and rendered states for text inputs, textareas, checkboxes, radios, and selects.

Priority: ➖ Normal

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

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5e409

The change makes queued directive mounted hooks use the latest binding, which fixes the stale v-model value from the linked issue. No concrete merge risk was identified in the supplied context.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to e117d

The change does not demonstrate a new privilege or trust-boundary crossing. However, changing a directive list while mounting is delayed can skip one initializer and run another twice, creating a bounded lifecycle-ownership risk.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · reliability · inferred: Pending links match bindings by array position rather than directive identity. If an element changes from [d1,d2] to [d2] before mounted executes, the original d1 slot follows the link to d2 while the original second slot also invokes d2. This skips d1 initialization and duplicates d2 initialization on the same element, undermining lifecycle ownership and potentially duplicating resource setup. The base mounted each original directive once. Stable compiler-generated lists limit exposure, but dynamic public render calls have no enforced stable-list invariant.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated failure scope is an application's directive initialization on an element updated before mounted executes. Compiled stable directive lists constrain the identity-mismatch case; manually generated or dynamic lists can reach it. Broader effects depend on what those application callbacks initialize, and no cross-tenant, credential, or service exposure was demonstrated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Hook functions continue to come from the supplied directive object and run through the existing asynchronous error-handling wrapper. The change alters which pending binding supplies the hook, not the execution authority granted to directive code.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Suspense clears buffered effects when replacing a pending branch and after resolution; asynchronous recovery rejects unmounted or stale boundaries. These existing controls contain canceled-branch execution. Direct boundary unmount does not explicitly clear buffered effects, leaving eventual ownership and reclamation of newly linked vnode chains unresolved rather than establishing a new security finding.

- Line 204: Update the `_next` traversal in the directive lifecycle callback to
follow the matching binding identity rather than selecting a binding by index.
Preserve the original directive association as `withDirectives` changes the
binding list, so queued callbacks invoke each directive’s lifecycle hook exactly
once.
