That branch of the code has a comment on it:

  // #7121 ensure get the child component subtree in case
  // it's been replaced during HMR

It would appear that the author of that section only intended for it to be used during HMR. If it's going to be used in production then that comment needs updating.

Did you investigate why that code was added just for HMR?

More generally, could you also please include more details in your PR descriptions? Presumably you spent a while debugging this before deciding what the appropriate fix should be. What did you find? Why do you think this is the correct fix? If you don't provide that information in the description then anyone reviewing the change is going to need to go through that debugging and exploration process all over again.

Reviewing a PR, even a small one like this, can take a reviewer several hours. We don't just need to check that the fix works, we need to assess whether it's actually the best fix for the underlying problem. Providing a brief explanation in the PR description of what you think the underlying problem is and why you think it's the right fix can save us a huge amount of time. It can also be really valuable months down the line when someone wants to understand why a particular change was made.

Thanks.

Thank you very much for your reply, honestly I'm not very good at English, most of the time I rely on translation software, how to use English accurately might be really difficult for me, but that's my problem.

Return to PR, To be honest I did overlook that code comment you mentioned. But this is just my simple attempt, he may not be correct

debugging the issue is really tricky, one thing to note about this issue is that when class=“test” is removed from the transition, everything goes back to normal. This is due to the indirect effect of fallthroughAttrs, which clones a new vnode when it exists, which causes vnode.component.subTree and vnode.children[0] to get completely different values.

Then look at the difference between DEV and PROD, when there are fallthroughAttrs then vnode.component.subTree is the correct child vnode, so everything works fine in the DEV environment too!

NOTE:
The overall debugging idea can be started from the vnode, you can simply debug the number of updates on DEV and PROD, you can find that there is a missing update on PROD, and the last update is triggered by the afterLeave on the transition.

I think this PR should be correct. It is similar to #7121 where the root node has switched. We should always apply the transition to their component.subTree without distinguishing between DEV and PROD if the component is already mounted. The comments mentioned above need to be updated.

This needs a test case by the way.
