Research direction
Start by reproducing the bug in the provided StackBlitz sandbox. The error likely occurs due to rapid clicks on the reset button causing multiple state updates or event handler issues. Look at the controls addon's source code in the storybook repository, specifically the `ControlsPanel` or `useControls` hook where reset logic is handled. Check for missing debouncing or improper cleanup of event listeners. Also examine the browser console error to identify the exact stack trace.
