Vuex Mutation running, but component not updating until manual commit in vue dev tools

In the same way that component data properties need to be initialised, so too does your store's state. Vue cannot react to changes if it does not know about the initial data.

You appear to be missing something like...

state: {
  status: { loading: true },
  currentFeed: {}
}

Another option is to use Vue.set. See https://vuex.vuejs.org/guide/mutations.html#mutations-follow-vue-s-reactivity-rules...

Since a Vuex store's state is made reactive by Vue, when we mutate the state, Vue components observing the state will update automatically. This also means Vuex mutations are subject to the same reactivity caveats when working with plain Vue
