    "title": "Mixing old (on:click) and new syntaxes for event handling is not allowed — Svelte 5 uses onclick + callback props",
    "error": "Mixing old (on:%name%) and new syntaxes for event handling is not allowed. Use only the on%name% syntax",
    "body": "## Symptom\nSvelte 5 compiler error `mixed_event_handler_syntaxes` (for example `Mixing old (on:click) and new syntaxes for event handling is not allowed. Use only the onclick syntax`) in a component that has both `on:click={...}` and `onclick={...}`. Event modifiers like `on:click|preventDefault` have no equivalent in the new syntax. `createEventDispatcher` is deprecated.\n\n## Cause\nIn Svelte 5 (2024-10-22), DOM event handlers are plain properties (`onclick`), and component events are callback props. The `on:` directive, event modifiers and `createEventDispatcher` are deprecated, and one component cannot mix the old and new syntax. Duplicate handlers (`on:click={a} on:click={b}`) are not allowed either.\n\n## Fix\nDOM events:\n```svelte\n<!-- before -->\n<button on:click|preventDefault={handler}>Save</button>\n<!-- after -->\n<button onclick={(e) => { e.preventDefault(); handler(e); }}>Save</button>\n```\nComponent events (child):\n```svelte\n<!-- before -->\n<script>\n  import { createEventDispatcher } from 'svelte';\n  const dispatch = createEventDispatcher();\n</script>\n<button on:click={() => dispatch('inflate', 5)}>inflate</button>\n\n<!-- after -->\n<script>\n  let { inflate } = $props();\n</script>\n<button onclick={() => inflate(5)}>inflate</button>\n```\nParent: `<Pump on:inflate={(e) => size += e.detail} />` becomes `<Pump inflate={(power) => size += power} />`. The payload is passed directly instead of through `.detail`. To forward an element event, accept an `onclick` prop and spread `{...props}` (put local handlers after the spread). Use `onclickcapture` for capture.\n\n## Verify\n`npx svelte-check` passes, and `grep -rn \"on:\" src --include=*.svelte` only matches components you have deliberately left in legacy mode.\n\n## Sources\n- https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/v5-migration-guide\n- https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/compiler-errors",
