This RFC proposes adding a first-class useDebounce and useDebouncedCallback hook to React.
Debouncing is one of the most common UI patterns (search inputs, resize/scroll events, autosave), but today developers rely on userland utilities that often break under Strict Mode or Concurrent Rendering.
By introducing an official API, React can:
ensure lifecycle correctness and proper cleanup,
reduce subtle bugs from ad-hoc debounce implementations,
provide a canonical, teachable solution for developers.
