Closes #3741

hashKey drops undefined-valued object properties (JSON.stringify semantics), but partialMatchKey compared them literally - so invalidating with ['todos', {status: undefined}] failed to match queries keyed like ['todos', {status: 'open'}] even though they hash identically to ['todos', {}].

partialMatchKey now skips filter-side undefined props during object matching, aligning it exactly with documented hashing behavior. Arrays and concrete-value negatives unchanged; direction already covered by merged #11013 keeps passing. Note: open perf PR #11073 touches hashKey functions in the same file - different hunks, low conflict risk.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved partial query-key matching when filters include properties set to undefined.
    • Query invalidation now correctly matches cached queries with corresponding concrete values while excluding unrelated query shapes.
    • Matching behavior is consistent for nested filter objects.

Walkthrough

partialMatchKey now ignores undefined properties in filter objects, including nested objects. Tests cover direct matching, recursive matching, non-matching concrete values, and query invalidation.

Changes

Partial query-key matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update partial-match behavior
packages/query-core/src/utils.ts, packages/query-core/src/__tests__/utils.test.tsx
partialMatchKey skips undefined filter values during recursive matching. Tests cover direct, nested, and non-matching cases.
Validate invalidation behavior
packages/query-core/src/__tests__/queryClient.test.tsx, .changeset/partial-match-key-undefined.md
Query invalidation tests verify matching for an undefined filter property. The changeset documents the patch behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5d79d

The change broadens partial query-key matching when filters contain undefined properties, causing unrelated cached queries to be invalidated together and conflicting with an existing test expectation. The PR is not merge-ready until the matching contract and test behavior are aligned.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Resolve the undefined filter contract before merge.

continue makes { status: undefined } equivalent to an empty filter object. With the same query-key prefix, partialMatchKey(['todos', { assignee: 'a' }], ['todos', { status: undefined }]) returns true. invalidateQueries therefore invalidates both cached queries, but packages/query-core/src/__tests__/queryClient.test.tsx Line 2572 expects the assignee query to remain valid and will fail.

If undefined is an ignored filter field, update that test and its description to expect both queries. If the requirement is to exclude { assignee: 'a' }, this skip rule is too broad and needs a different matching contract.
