fix(vue3): update reactive globals before calling storyFn

[SAY-5]

When a story re-renders without a full remount, globals were being updated after storyFn ran. Decorators would see stale plain objects instead of the reactive proxies, causing the globals state to desync from Vue's reactivity system.

Moved the updateArgs calls for globals and args to happen before storyFn is called, and swapped the context references to use the reactive versions. This way the entire decorator chain sees the same reactive objects that Vue is tracking.

Fixes #34319

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The renderToCanvas function in the Vue3 renderer's render.ts changes the timing of reactive state updates when reusing an existing Vue app. Updates to reactive globals and args are now performed before invoking storyFn(), with only reactiveArgs being updated afterward, rather than deferring both updates until after the story function execution.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Vue3 Renderer Reactive State Update Sequence code/renderers/vue3/src/render.ts	Modified the order of reactive state updates in renderToCanvas when reusing an existing Vue app; updateArgs for globals now occurs before storyFn() invocation, and reactiveGlobals is no longer re-updated after story execution (only reactiveArgs is updated post-execution).

165-167: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Remove the empty-object early return in updateArgs (bug persists on key removal).

At Line 165, returning early when nextArgs is {} skips the deletion loop, so removed globals/args remain in the reactive object. That keeps stale keys alive and can still desync state.

Proposed fix

 export function updateArgs<
   T extends {
     [name: string]: unknown;
   },
 >(reactiveArgs: T, nextArgs: T) {
-  if (Object.keys(nextArgs).length === 0) {
-    return;
-  }
   const currentArgs = isReactive(reactiveArgs) ? reactiveArgs : reactive(reactiveArgs);
   // delete all args in currentArgs that are not in nextArgs
   Object.keys(currentArgs).forEach((key) => {
     if (!(key in nextArgs)) {
       delete currentArgs[key];
     }
   });
   // update currentArgs with nextArgs
   Object.assign(currentArgs, nextArgs);
 }

remove the early return that bails when Object.keys(nextArgs).length === 0 so
the subsequent deletion pass runs and removed keys are actually deleted from the
reactive args; ensure the function still compares prevArgs and nextArgs as
before and runs the existing deletion loop (the loop that iterates over
prevArgs/its keys and deletes any key not present in nextArgs) so stale keys are
removed when nextArgs is empty or when keys are removed.
