Per #17862 (comment), this freezes the value of a derived if it was created inside a parent effect that is now destroyed. This prevents the sort of bug where a derived reads foo.bar even though foo is now undefined.

If the derived is dirty, a warning will be printed.

This PR also gets rid of some weirdness around derived.parent — it can only ever be an Effect | null, and there's no need for get_derived_parent_effect.

Blocked on sveltejs/kit#15533 and a follow-up that switches remote functions to use $effect.root (since this effectively undoes #17171), hence draft.

Before submitting the PR, please make sure you do the following

  • It's really useful if your PR references an issue where it is discussed ahead of time. In many cases, features are absent for a reason. For large changes, please create an RFC: https://github.com/sveltejs/rfcs
  • Prefix your PR title with feat:, fix:, chore:, or docs:.
  • This message body should clearly illustrate what problems it solves.
  • Ideally, include a test that fails without this PR but passes with it.
  • If this PR changes code within packages/svelte/src, add a changeset (npx changeset).

Tests and linting

  • Run the tests with pnpm test and lint the project with pnpm lint
