### Understanding dependencies

`$effect` automatically picks up any reactive values (`$state`, `$derived`, `$props`) that are _synchronously_ read inside its function body and registers them as dependencies. When those dependencies change, the `$effect` schedules a rerun.
`$effect` automatically picks up any reactive values (`$state`, `$derived`, `$props`) that are _synchronously_ read inside its function body (including indirectly, via function calls) and registers them as dependencies. When those dependencies change, the `$effect` schedules a rerun.

Values that are read _asynchronously_ — after an `await` or inside a `setTimeout`, for example — will not be tracked.
