This was a surprisingly big win! Item is heavier than it looks, because it has like 6 Chakra components, which aren't expensive but aren't _cheap_ in a re-rendered list that needs to be fast, you know?
And it's even more important on search, where there's a lot of items on the page. (we should virtualize it too but that's a thing for another day)
I think it's more helpful to auto-switch: if you're using the species/color picker for pet compatibility, that's probably what you want! And it's all buffered behind the Save Changes button anyway, so nbd to play a bit fast and loose!
One fix was that `position: absolute` stuff was appearing over the drawer, including the item search clear button, oof!
Another fix was for a weird bug(?) in Apollo Client, see comments
Note that there's a bug when switching back to the null case… when I look in the Apollo dev tools, it's definitely getting set in the cache correctly at the right time… but the query isn't updating for some reason? I'm hoping it's an Apollo bug that will fix itself someday with an upgrade!
Optimistic UI seems to just be like, not working… I'm seeing some Google results suggesting maybe just get to v3, which is a bit of upgrade work but might be worth it
