Hi @AlonGvili Thanks for this feedback and for the repro video! By any chance, does the machine you're exporting and importing contain several invoked actors? If you can share the machine that would be helpful but we can also work to reproduce this on our end in the meantime and come up with a more expected solution so that it doesn't add those "ghost" machines which I understand to be rather unexpected.

@AlonGvili For XState v5 we now export actors with fromPromise() or for XState v4 we export an async function that also returns a promise. No more "ghost" machines will be created when importing machines with invoked actors.

However, we'll continue to think about ways to actually import invoked actor machines so that their association will be clearer in the future. Thanks again for your feedback on this issue!
