Issue type: Bug
Clarity: Mostly clear
Activity status: Stale
Tech stack: react, typescript
Domain: devtools, frontend

Research direction

Start with the StackBlitz reproduction at src/App.tsx and compare the validation logs with Devtools enabled and disabled. Confirm that custom validation functions are not called on every change when Devtools are used; the behavior should match the non-Devtools form.
