AFFECTSRootCause

The event handlers capture an outdated `sequence` value from the initial render; when sequence updates occur (especially within pointer lifecycle events), the handlers continue referencing the stale closure. Recreating handlers within handlers still preserves the original stale closure because updates are not synchronized with the event callback timing.

FIXED_BYProblem

setInterval(savedCallback.current, 1000) won't work

FIXED_BYProblem

Using `useInterval` with `setInterval(savedCallback.current, 1000)` causes the counter to stop incrementing as intended, unlike wrapping the call in an anonymous function. The interval setup no longer updates state correctly.

ENRICHESRootCause

Using `useRef` inside a hook that needs a reference for a DOM node that may not exist or change — for a DOM node that may not exist or change during the component's render. Tension: may cause stale references or missed updates. Outcome: Using a callback ref ensures that the reference is updated whenever the DOM node changes.
