🎯 Changes

createQuery/createInfiniteQuery never threw errors from the render path when throwOnError was set — the throwOnError option was accepted (typed) but had no runtime effect for these hooks. This contradicts the documented behavior (docs/framework/svelte/quick-start.md): "Set throwOnError option to true to make sure errors are thrown to the <svelte:boundary> component."

Added a dedicated $effect in createBaseQuery.svelte.ts (shared by both createQuery and createInfiniteQuery) that throws when shouldThrowError returns true. The throw must happen from inside a Svelte reaction — verified experimentally that throwing from the subscribe callback (which runs through notifyManager's batching, outside any active Svelte reaction) never reaches <svelte:boundary> and instead becomes an unhandled error.

The reaction reads the observer's raw result (observer.getCurrentResult(), kept in a $state.raw that is reassigned on every result update) rather than the query result object returned to consumers. Reading query.isError/query.isFetching directly would mark them tracked on the trackResult proxy the first time an error occurs, permanently widening notifyOnChangeProps for every consumer of that query from then on — verified with a regression test that reproduces the pollution (1 vs 4 re-runs) before/after this change.

This still re-runs whenever error changes, because queryObserver.ts force-adds 'error' to the notified props whenever options.throwOnError is set, regardless of what any consumer has read. This is a load-bearing dependency on that query-core internal — flagging it here for visibility. One consequence: if a query that already has data refetches and fails again with the same error reference, error doesn't change and nothing is thrown — react-query behaves the same way here, since it relies on the same notification check.

The effect doesn't throw while a refetch is in flight (!isFetching), only once it settles — covered by a test.

createQueries.svelte.ts is out of scope for this PR — same defect, separate change.

Also out of scope: the QueryErrorResetBoundary/errorResetBoundary reset machinery react-query has (retryOnMount suppression while unreset). Svelte 5's <svelte:boundary> gives a reset() callback to the failed snippet directly, a different primitive — mapping React's reset model onto it is a separate design decision. Calling that reset() re-mounts the boundary's children, which re-runs createQuery and refetches the errored query (with the default retryOnMount: true) — covered by a test.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Errors from createQuery and createInfiniteQuery can be thrown to the nearest Svelte boundary when throwOnError is enabled, including when configured with a predicate.
    • Errors are thrown after an in-progress refetch settles. Resetting a boundary can allow a query to retry and recover.
    • Rejected queries can reach the boundary even when they have no error value.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified that throwOnError must be enabled for query errors to reach a Svelte boundary.

📝 Walkthrough

createBaseQuery now throws query errors to the nearest <svelte:boundary> when throwOnError permits it. Tests cover createQuery and createInfiniteQuery. The quick-start guide clarifies which primitives need the option enabled.

Changes: Svelte error-boundary propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track results and throw qualifying errors
packages/svelte-query/src/createBaseQuery.svelte.ts, docs/framework/svelte/quick-start.md, .changeset/tame-parrots-shave.md
createBaseQuery refreshes an untracked observer result and throws its error when the query is not fetching and shouldThrowError approves it. The guide and changeset describe the option and behavior.
Verify createQuery boundary behavior
packages/svelte-query/tests/createQuery/*
Tests cover boolean and predicate options, rejected and cached errors, refetches, boundary reset, query-client changes, and data-only consumers.
Verify createInfiniteQuery boundary behavior
packages/svelte-query/tests/createInfiniteQuery/*
Tests cover boolean and predicate options, suppression when a predicate returns false, and propagation of a rejection without an error value.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2d995

The error-boundary change is mergeable after normal checks. Strengthening the reset test would better protect child remount behavior.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to c4282

The change activates an existing configurable error policy without identifying a new privilege or data-access path. Error propagation is conditional, and the reviewed lifecycle paths preserve observer cleanup and client selection. Application-specific boundary scope and error-display policies remain outside the reviewed change.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — If an external source can cause a query rejection, that rejection can now affect the nearest Svelte boundary when the application's error policy permits it. The reviewed path propagates the existing error value; it does not itself grant additional query-function authority. The breadth of affected UI and any error disclosure depend on application boundary placement and rendering.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Propagation is controlled by resolved application options, not by the error value alone. Both the settled-state check and the predicate decision gate the throw; the nonmatching-predicate test confirms that an error can remain observable without activating the boundary fallback.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Failure-containment counterevidence includes a cached-error refetch that remains outside the fallback while fetching and reaches it after settlement, successful boundary reset with a subsequent distinct error, and a data-only consumer whose effect count does not widen after failures.

1811-1815: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the child remount after boundary reset.

The test checks only the second queryFn call and Error 2. A regression that refetches the existing ErrorBoundaryContent without remounting it can satisfy both assertions. Add a mount counter to the fixture and assert that it increments after reset.
