Report #65439

[bug\_fix] Warning: Invalid hook call. Hooks can only be called inside of the body of a function component. \(You might have more than one copy of React in the same app\)

Ensure only one copy of React exists in the bundle. Use npm dedupe or yarn dedupe. In webpack/vite, set resolve.alias: \{ react: path.resolve\('./node\_modules/react'\) \} to force a single version. For library development, mark react as a peerDependency and external.

Journey Context:
You're developing a React component library locally using npm link or yalc to test it in your main app. Suddenly, hooks throw 'Invalid hook call' errors even though you're using them correctly in function components. You check React DevTools and see two React instances in the tree. You realize that because your library has its own node\_modules with react installed \(not just a peer dep\), and npm link created a symlink, the bundler includes two Reacts. You check the React documentation which explains that Hooks rely on a singleton internal state that breaks with multiple React copies. You fix it by adding resolve.alias in webpack to force all imports of 'react' to resolve to the main app's node\_modules/react path, ensuring singleton behavior.
