New tRPC client uses native TanStack Query interfaces (QueryOptions, MutationOptions) instead of wrapper hooks, eliminating a confusing abstraction layer.
Summary
Removes cognitive friction for developers already using TanStack Query elsewhere in their app—you follow the same patterns instead of learning tRPC-specific syntax. Also fixes a hooks-linting issue in the classic client that breaks under React Compiler.

Implementation verdict
Replaces the classic tRPC React Query integration (still maintained but no new features). Requires: tRPC next-release, refactoring useQuery/useMutation calls to use .queryOptions()/.mutationOptions() factories. Both clients coexist, so gradual migration is viable. Ready now for new projects; existing projects should migrate incrementally.
