Research direction

Start by reproducing the pasted snippet in the react-live website at the linked sandbox, then trace how malformed React.useEffect syntax is handled before the “n is not a function” crash. The issue names no source file or test; done means this input no longer breaks the page and the behavior is verified with a regression check.
