fix(theme-common): properly memoize attributeFilter in useMutationObs…

[garry00107]

Pre-flight checklist

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on pull requests.
• If this is a code change: I have written unit tests and/or added dogfooding pages to fully verify the new behavior.

Motivation

This PR addresses the TODO in useMutationObserver.ts:

The useShallowMemoObject hook only performs shallow comparison—it flattens object entries and compares values directly. This means attributeFilter (an array) is compared by reference, not by value. If a caller passes a new array instance with the same contents on each render, the options will be considered "changed" and the MutationObserver will be recreated unnecessarily.

Solution

1. Added a new useShallowMemoArray utility to reactUtils.tsx that properly memoizes arrays by their element values
2. Updated useMutationObserver to extract and memoize attributeFilter separately before combining it back with the rest of the options

This solution starts to become too complex, we don't even use that code path, and it's not covered by any test.

Please don't pick random code TODO and try to solve them, some of them are not always meant to be solved immediately, but later, once we have a use-case for improving our code. I'd prefer if you focused on actual bugs, and wrote clear tests to show that the problem is solved. Here the test plan doesn't test your code at all.

Also, please disclose any AI usage. If you want to contribute here, please start gaining my trust by doing so manually.

Hi @slorber , thank you for the feedback.

I want to acknowledge that the test plan didn't actually test the new code path, which defeats the purpose.

I used Claude to help identify and implement this change.
I'll close this PR. Thank you for taking the time to review.
