Callbacks passed to mutate are skipped if the component unmounts before the mutation settles

useMutation accepts onSuccess, onError and onSettled, and so does the mutate call itself. They are not equivalent. The ones on useMutation always run. The ones passed to mutate are tied to the component that called it and are silently skipped if that component has unmounted by the time the mutation finishes.
That matters because navigating away on success is a common pattern: put cache invalidation in the useMutation options, where it cannot be skipped, and put navigation or a toast in the mutate callbacks, where being skipped after unmount is usually correct.
Two related defaults: mutations do not retry, unlike queries, and mutateAsync returns a promise that rejects, so it needs a catch or it becomes an unhandled rejection. mutate never rejects.
