Reviewed and verified locally:
- Full test suite passes (24 tests, 0 failures), including the new idempotency tests.
- The
start()guard is race-free on the main actor:makeCombineEventStream()itself stores a subscription synchronously, so repeatedstart()calls bail out even for reactors with an emptytransform(). - Note: removing auto-start from
AnyReactor.initis a behavior change for existing users — documented in README, but worth calling out in the next release notes.

Added check whether any subscriptions for current Reactor are active. This makes
startfunction idempotent for callers, and effectively prevents creating duplicate subscriptions.Condition:
transformfunction must be free of side effects, as emptytransformwill be called multiple times, until first subscription is created for the Reactor.Disabled auto-start of AnyReactor type-erased type.
Previously this auto-start behaviour caused incorrectly stored Combine/non-combine subscriptions to external events from viewModels. Subscriptions were being stored under the wrapper type, which caused confusion and non-clear event routing.
Added tests to verify.
Effects:
Call to
viewModel.start()now has to be explicit and will always be forwarded to correct concrete Reactor type.
