IntermediateState Management
How does Riverpod differ from Provider?
Riverpod is a redesign by the same author as Provider that removes the dependency on BuildContext and the widget tree, catching errors at compile time instead of runtime, and making providers globally accessible and easily testable.
IntermediateTesting
How do you test code that uses Riverpod providers?
Wrap the widget or logic under test in a ProviderScope with overrides — swapping real providers for test doubles via overrideWith or overrideWithValue — so tests never hit real network/database calls.

What does Riverpod's code generation (@riverpod annotation) add over manually-declared providers?
The @riverpod annotation (via riverpod_generator) generates the provider boilerplate for you from a plain function or class, reducing verbosity and catching more mistakes at compile time, at the cost of needing a code-generation build step.
