+
+fix: scope useMutation's mutation-cache subscription to the flight. The
+hook subscribed at mount with a bare reactive `client()` read (tripping
+Solid's STRICT_READ_UNTRACKED dev diagnostic) and held the subscription
+for its whole life even though the listener only matters while a mutation
+is in flight. The subscription now starts in `run` against the same
+client the mutation is built on and ends at settle: nothing reactive is
+read at setup, the listener and the mutation can never sit on different
+clients, and idle hooks hold no cache subscription.
