bitsocialnet Browsing performance
Define the affected route/interaction and the symptom or comparison to establish. Use current routes in src/app.tsx, hash URLs from src/index.tsx, and real populated content; do not assume example boards or community addresses are available.
Reuse a compatible server in this worktree. If one is needed, the task owner starts it in an owned terminal, records its process/session, and stops only that server afterward. A profiling child does not manage servers. Other tasks may have valid Vite processes.
Keep one browser active machine-wide through ./scripts/pw-session.sh. Use the playwright-cli skill for session lifecycle and affected-flow coverage. Browser work and other heavy checks remain serialized. Profile a small flow directly; delegate a substantial independent route set to profiler only when useful, with a supplied URL, unique session name, criteria, and evidence to return. Wait for its browser cleanup before another browser task starts.
src/lib/react-scan.ts exposes an app-owned plain-object collector and reset function. Use that collector rather than react-scan’s raw getReport; component-name totals are supporting evidence, not proof of a bottleneck.
Read measurement guidance for browser observers, document-versus-hash timing, and this checkout's React evidence. Capture only what resolves the performance question; do not add instrumentation or new app tooling to satisfy a reporting template.
Compare the same narrow flow before/after with equivalent throttle, viewport, content, and capture settings. Report URLs, methods, observed cost, evidence paths, and unavailable metrics. Separate symptoms from inferred causes; cheap rerenders alone do not justify an optimization. Close the exact session on every exit path and leave preexisting servers/profiles untouched.
