fix: Update event handlers during DOM patches
CRITICAL FIX: Event handlers were not being updated when components re-rendered, causing button clicks and other events to be ignored after the initial render. Root cause: - Components create new event handler closures on each render (capturing updated state) - The diff/patch system only updated attributes and properties, NOT events - Initial handlers were attached during Mount but never updated - Re-renders created new VNode trees with new handlers, but old handlers remained on the DOM The fix: 1. Updated UpdateElement() to re-attach event handlers during updates: - Clean up old js.Func references (prevent memory leaks) - Remove old event listeners - Attach new event listeners with updated closures 2. Updated Diff() to detect event handler changes: - Added eventsChanged() helper function - Event maps are compared (can't compare closures directly) - Assumes handlers changed if event keys exist (safe for closures) 3. Updated ApplyPatch() to pass event maps to UpdateElement(): - oldNode.Events and newNode.Events now passed - Event maps copied to oldNode after patch Impact: - Button clicks now trigger handlers after re-renders - State updates propagate correctly to event handlers - AutoRotate toggle, speed slider, and all controls now work - No memory leaks from orphaned js.Func references This fixes the webgpu-cube example where Controls component state updates weren't reflected in button click handlers, preventing the auto-rotate toggle and other controls from working.
