Props are shallow readonly in development. Assigning to props.title warns that a set operation on the key failed because the target is readonly, and the assignment does nothing.
Mutating one level down, props.user.name = 'x', is not guarded and does succeed. Because the parent passed a reference, the child has just mutated the parent's state from the outside, and the parent may not have a watcher on that field. This is the quiet version of the bug and it shows up as state that changes without any visible cause.
Treat object props as read only by convention. When the child needs its own version, copy it into local state or a computed; when the parent needs the change, emit an event or use defineModel. In production builds the readonly wrapper is skipped for performance, so the top level assignment also silently succeeds there.
