Clojurians Log v2

Hi! I'm learning Fulcro (coming from Re-frame) and encountered a strange issue with controlled text inputs not visually updating when their value changes via mutations, even though the component seemingly re-renders correctly. Here's what I have:

(defmutation increment-counter [{:keys [amount]}]
  (action [{:keys [state]}]
    (swap! state update-in [:component/id :counter :counter/value] + amount)))

(defmutation reset-counter [{:keys [value]}]
  (action [{:keys [state]}]
    (swap! state assoc-in [:component/id :counter :counter/value] value)))

(defsc Counter [this {:counter/keys [value]}]
  {:query [:counter/value]
   :ident (fn [] [:component/id :counter])
   :initial-state (fn [_] {:counter/value 0})}

  (js/console.log "Counter rendering with value:" value)  ;; Logs correctly: 0, 1, 2...

  (dom/div :.counter
    (dom/h3 "Counter Example")
    (dom/p (str "Count: " value))  ;; Updates correctly to "Count: 1"

    ;; Buttons work fine - trigger mutations correctly
    (dom/button {:onClick #(comp/transact! this [(increment-counter {:amount 1})])}
      "+1")

    ;; Debug: shows we're passing the right value
    (dom/span {:style {:color "red"}} (str " [value=" value "] "))  ;; Shows [value=1]

    ;; This input does NOT visually update when buttons are clicked
    (dom/input {:type "text"
                :value (str value)
                :onChange (fn [ev]
                           (let [v (js/parseInt (.. ev -target -value) 10)]
                             (when-not (js/isNaN v)
                               (comp/transact! this [(reset-counter {:value v})]))))})))

When I click "+1": - Database updates correctly - Component re-renders (console logs "Counter rendering with value: 1") - The "Count: " text updates to show "1" - The debug span shows [value=1] - ☇ *The actual input field still shows "0"* Observations: 1. *Hot reload DOES update the input* - when I save the file and shadow-cljs hot reloads, the input field updates to the current value 2. I've never seen this behavior with Re-frame (also uses React) 3. Tried both type="number" and type="text" - same issue Workaround: Adding a :key that changes with the value forces it to work:

(dom/input {:key (str "counter-input-" value)  ;; Forces re-mount
            :type "text"
            :value (str value)
            :onChange ...})

This works but causes the input to lose focus while typing (because React destroys/recreates the element). Obviously I'm doing seomthing wrong *What's the proper pattern for controlled inputs in Fulcro?* Should inputs be separate components with their own idents? Any insights appreciated! Using Fulcro 3.9.0-rc9 with shadow-cljs 3.2.0.
