+Give the latest() shadow companion the `ownedWrite` flag its isPending companion already carries (#3378). A companion sync is internal plumbing that can run from inside a computation — a transition-held memo recompute pulled mid-tick by a reader creating or refreshing its latest() shadow — and the dev owned-scope write guard halted the app on the shadow write. Toggling a JSX branch that reads `latest(memo)` off while an action is pending and restoring it as the action resumes threw REACTIVE_WRITE_IN_OWNED_SCOPE.

+/**
+ * #3378: the latest() shadow was the one companion created without
+ * `ownedWrite`. Companion syncs are internal plumbing that can run from inside
+ * a computation: a transition-held memo recompute pulled mid-tick by a reader
+ * (core.ts's held branch of recompute → syncCompanions → setSignal on the
+ * shadow) fires with `context` set to the pulling node. The isPending signal
+ * companion already carried the flag, so only the shadow write tripped the
+ * dev owned-scope write guard — and halted the app.
+ *
+ * The issue's shape: a branch reading `latest(memo)` is toggled off while an
+ * action is pending (its shadow goes dormant with the reader) and restored as
+ * the action resumes. The restored reader runs before the memo's own heap
+ * slot, so the fresh shadow's first compute pulls the still-dirty memo, whose
+ * held recompute syncs companions from inside that compute. A live shadow
+ * brought current through latestRead's mid-tick pull hits the same write with
+ * the pulling reader as context.
