> Hello Dmitry. In my interpretation, the documentation implies both reports are valid. APIs generally always allow a no-op of setting a value to its current value; only if that were NOT allowed then I would expect it to be explicitly documented and tested.
The semantics of the WC state reporter are such that both of the reports
you mention above are valid and have exactly the same meaning. Both
should instruct the server to produce exactly the same update, since
they describe the same WC state. (If they don't, please do let us know,
as that would be a bug in our repository implementation).
