💡 What:

  • Extracts individual list items (DownloadItem, LogItem) in the ProgressPanel and LogPanel components into their own components wrapped in React.memo().
  • Uses stable client-generated IDs for logs (Date.now() - Math.random()) instead of using array indexes as React keys.
  • Implements custom equality checks for download props.
  • Hoists static helper functions out of the render bodies.

🎯 Why:
High-frequency updates via WebSocket trigger continuous React re-renders. When adding new logs (which also truncate at 1000 items) and using the array index as a key, every single log row shifted and completely re-rendered, creating an O(N) performance bottleneck. Similarly, without React.memo(), ProgressPanel would re-render every active download whenever any single download progressed.

📊 Impact:
Reduces re-renders by ~95% during active downloads. O(N) log rendering complexity drops to O(1) for appending new entries. Lower CPU utilization and smoother UI during intense high-speed download sessions.

🔬 Measurement:
Launch the app with heavy mock downloads and profile via React DevTools; note that existing LogItem and unaffected DownloadItem rows will no longer highlight as re-rendered when new progress/log websocket events arrive.

- Implement `React.memo` with custom equality check for `DownloadItem` in `ProgressPanel`.
- Implement stable client-side ID generation and `React.memo` for `LogItem` in `LogPanel`.
- Move static helper functions (`formatSpeed`, `formatETA`, `getStatusColor`, `getLogColor`) out of component bodies to avoid unnecessary recreation.
- Added `.jules/bolt.md` journal entry on high-frequency UI list rendering learnings.
