How can I protect nothing ever breaks, while the setTimeout is waiting

tsx 
   createEffect(() => {
        if (puzzle_lala().is_revealed && is_jump_to_next_puzzle_immediately()) {

            setTimeout(() => {
                on_next_puzzle()
            }, 600)
        }
    })

tsx 
   createEffect(() => {
        if (puzzle_lala().is_revealed && is_jump_to_next_puzzle_immediately()) {

            setTimeout(() => {
                on_next_puzzle()
            }, 600)
        }
    })

And Yes, I don't want to check whether this has been triggered everywhere else.

Hard to guarantee that nothing ever breaks... A guess about a possible problem in your code snippet is that the effect can be re-executed before the timer expires, which will then call on_next_puzzle() twice. Usually you want to clean the timer in a onCleanup(() => clearTimeout(timerId))
