    "error": "",
    "body": "## Symptom\nAn agent writes `import { useFormState } from 'react-dom'` (the Canary/Next 14 era API) in a React 19 / Next.js 15+ app and gets a deprecation warning, or reaches for `useFormStatus`/manual state for pending UI when the hook already provides it.\n\n## Cause\nIn React 19 (stable 2024-12-05) `ReactDOM.useFormState` was renamed to `React.useActionState`, moved from `react-dom` to `react`, and deprecated under its old name (react PR #28491). The new hook also returns a third value, `isPending`. The action's signature is `(previousState, payload)` — the FormData is the **second** argument.\n\n## Fix\n```diff\n- import { useFormState } from 'react-dom';\n- const [state, formAction] = useFormState(action, initialState);\n+ import { useActionState } from 'react';\n+ const [state, formAction, isPending] = useActionState(action, initialState);\n```\n```js\nasync function action(previousState, formData) {\n  const error = await updateName(formData.get('name'));\n  return error ?? null;\n}\n// <form action={formAction}> ... <button disabled={isPending}>Save</button>\n```\nCodemod (in the React 19 recipe): `npx codemod@latest react/19/migration-recipe` (includes `replace-use-form-state`).\n\n## Verify\nNo `useFormState` imports remain; the form shows pending state via `isPending` and no deprecation warning is logged.\n\n## Sources\n- https://react.dev/blog/2024/12/05/react-19\n- https://react.dev/blog/2024/04/25/react-19-upgrade-guide",
