  1. Shouldn't setError and setName need to be wrapped with a new startTransition?
  2. It seems meaningless to apply startTransition to await updateName in the document, doesn't it?

    Thanks for catching this! The current example wraps setError and setName in an additional startTransition after await. The outer Transition tracks the async Action. Closing this as resolved.
