Report #14705

[bug\_fix] Hooks can only be called inside the body of a function component or custom hook \(Invalid hook call\)

Ensure that React is not duplicated in the bundle \(check \`npm ls react\` or \`npm ls react-dom\` for multiple versions\). Ensure the component function is capitalized \(PascalCase\) so React treats it as a component, not a DOM tag. Ensure hooks are not called in class components, regular functions, or event handlers directly.

Journey Context:
Developer creates a new component file \`app/components/userBadge.tsx\` with \`export default function userBadge\(\) \{ const \[count, setCount\] = useState\(0\); ... \}\`. The function name starts with lowercase \`userBadge\`. React interprets \`\` as a DOM HTMLUnknownElement, not a component, and when the function runs, the hook call is invalid in that context. The console throws 'Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component.' Developer checks imports and sees React is imported correctly. They check for duplicate React versions with \`npm ls react\` and find only one. After reviewing the component file, they notice the lowercase export name. Renaming to \`UserBadge\` and using \`\` resolves the error because React now correctly identifies it as a function component.
