[bug\_fix] Error: Invalid hook call

Ensure only one copy of React is loaded by checking npm ls react, using npm dedupe, or adding resolutions/overrides to force a single version; check for symlinked duplicates in monorepos.

Journey Context:
Developer is working in a monorepo or has npm linked a local library. They start their React app and immediately get "Error: Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component...". They check their code: the hook is definitely inside a function component, rules of hooks are followed. They reinstall React. Still broken. They check the React DevTools and see two React instances loaded. The root cause is that their app and a linked library \(or another package in a monorepo\) each have their own node\_modules/react. When the app imports the library, the library requires its own React, violating the single React instance rule required for Hooks context. The fix is to ensure a single React version across the tree using npm dedupe, or in package.json, add an overrides \(npm 8\+\) or resolutions \(Yarn\) field to force every package to use the root's React version. In monorepos, ensure React is hoisted to root node\_modules only.
