## Defer State Reads to Usage Point

Don't subscribe to dynamic state (searchParams, localStorage) if you only read it inside callbacks.

**Incorrect (subscribes to all searchParams changes):**

```tsx
function ShareButton({ chatId }: { chatId: string }) {
  const searchParams = useSearchParams();

  const handleShare = () => {
    const ref = searchParams.get("ref");
    shareChat(chatId, { ref });
  };

  return <button onClick={handleShare}>Share</button>;
}
```

**Correct (reads on demand, no subscription):**

```tsx
function ShareButton({ chatId }: { chatId: string }) {
  const handleShare = () => {
    const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
    const ref = params.get("ref");
    shareChat(chatId, { ref });
  };

  return <button onClick={handleShare}>Share</button>;
}
```
