10/15/2023, 1:35 PMThe simplest thing to do would be get the indirection out of the way and host your molecule composables in a UI composable - then you’ll get that behavior for free.
If you can’t do that, for lifecycle reasons or something, then maybe there’s a way to get molecule to defer its recomposition pass until some external signal? Which you could wire up to the UI frame signal (eg via withFrameNanos).

10/15/2023, 2:49 PMThis stateflow is being consumed on ios too and would like to solve this for both. We were previously solving this (on a library based off square's workflow) by setting a flag whenever an action was received before render completes and re-render if set. That approach might still work but would like to delegate this to compose since it's already doing the book keeping.
