-## 0.21.4 Corrected AI Delivery Proof
-
-Measured 2026-09-03 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0, Chrome 152.0.7977.64,
-OpenCode 1.18.27, and `openai/gpt-5.6-sol`. Each of five production-shaped task
-classes ran five predeclared interleaved attempts per framework with identical
-model, tools, public-context, 300-second, 400,000-input-token, and 40-tool-call
-limits. Failed and incomplete attempts remain in success and cost denominators.
-Provider-reported subscription cost was zero, so tokens are the cost comparator.
-
-| Task | Kudzu success | React + Vite success | Kudzu tokens / success | React tokens / success |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| Content search | 0/5 | 5/5 | unavailable | 99,779 |
-| Password confirmation | 5/5 | 5/5 | 85,821 | 116,307 |
-| CRUD/shared filter | 1/5 | 5/5 | 2,088,870 | 119,430 |
-| Commerce-derived shipping | 0/5 | 5/5 | unavailable | 57,979 |
-| Realtime ownership | 5/5 | 4/5 | 261,327 | unavailable |
-| **Overall** | **11/25 (44%)** | **24/25 (96%)** | **unavailable** | **unavailable** |
-
-All final builds passed. Browser acceptance passed for 17/25 Kudzu attempts and
-24/25 React attempts; six otherwise-correct Kudzu attempts lost only on frozen
-budgets. The one remaining React attempt timed out in the adapter at 300 seconds,
-produced no attribution trace, and is retained as incomplete rather than
-selectively replaced. Therefore the failure-inclusive realtime and aggregate
-React cost claims are unavailable. No successful retained source used imperative
-DOM replacement, changed dependencies, or embedded acceptance-specific shortcuts.
-
-| Task with accepted output | Kudzu median raw / gzip artifact | React median raw / gzip artifact | Kudzu / React median transferred JS |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|
-| Content | 91,681 / 34,905 B | 206,483 / 66,401 B | 36,114 / 199,137 B |
-| Forms | 24,238 / 9,801 B | 202,702 / 64,305 B | 15,328 / 198,467 B |

-| Realtime | 45,854 / 16,138 B | 202,520 / 64,245 B | 36,111 / 199,043 B |
-
-Kudzu retained complete zero-JavaScript static siblings in every accepted output.
-Commerce has no accepted Kudzu output and therefore no Kudzu byte comparison.
-Lower browser output does not offset the failed success-rate and task-cost gate.
-
-The corrected revision-2 protocol SHA-256 values are:
-
-- content `773ac7cf998006bc54f66a6fa278d4f40a2905a558f7c309acf632f201d532a0`;
-- forms `a004d6a65d6a255ba93965f208ca9afe834c8abeeb6ed0f8234a8b01435d55a1`;
-- CRUD `371f491984c582802452f85d3c2c5cca147f74f34197495627369092e87535f5`;

-
-The first batch, Kudzu 8/25 versus React 16/25, is invalid for ranking. Its
-acceptance SHA changed from
-`78478ae8ae141d7c787b930ce345bf7d4cf62142c64a3b3a5e495149adc14c30`
-to `c1320b8c87c1d3c2303ac20a5385fae9c3935d121ff31aab4bb9a899bd7e7a06`
-after correcting React controlled-input dispatch, hidden live-region and form
-field selectors, incomplete CRUD/realtime journeys, one broken Kudzu CRUD
-starter behavior, and inconsistent React versions. Revision 2 also hashes the
-written acceptance contracts. Both batches remain in the release archive
-[`kudzu-ai-delivery-0.21.4-gpt-5.6-sol.tar.gz`](https://github.com/kudzujs/kudzu/releases/download/v0.16.19/kudzu-ai-delivery-0.21.4-gpt-5.6-sol.tar.gz),
-SHA-256 `4e37d15b4c4b0cf88720a3a7743996794b2e0172dbc43d40514f944fb01bd0f8`.
-
-The measured next blockers are ordinary reactive collection normalization and
-count reuse, plus reactive text ownership inside selected conditional branches.
-Kudzu does not have the highest or tied success rate or a valid lowest aggregate
-cost, so this proof does not authorize `1.0.0`. This evidence packet changes no
-compiler, runtime, public API, dependency, generated application, or browser
-artifact.
-
-The 2026-09-04 collection follow-up removes the first blocker for one ordinary
-immutable filtered alias reused by keyed rendering, a top-level count, reactive
-text, and a count-selected branch. It adds no primitive, pass, runtime concept,
-API, dependency, or shared-runtime byte; net production compiler growth is 37
-lines across two existing files. The maintained positive and negative fixtures
-pass all 302 tests with Chrome required. Their exercised interactive route uses
-the unchanged 36,219 B shared runtime closure and 37,870 B total JavaScript with
-route handlers. Benchmark contract and budget deltas are zero; the production AI
-comparison is not rerun until selected-branch reactive text is also addressed.
-This follow-up ships as `@kudzujs/core@0.16.22`.
-
-The 2026-09-04 selected-branch follow-up lowers a reactive scalar branch through
-the existing text-binding compiler path. It adds no semantic primitive,
-compiler pass, runtime concept, API, dependency, or shared-runtime source byte;
-net production growth is 11 lines in one existing compiler file. The focused
-fixture covers an update that remains in the selected branch and a later branch
-replacement. Required Chrome, all 302 tests, `npm run check`, and package smoke
-pass. Rebuilding the five retained commerce sources against this tree changes
-their frozen `below` check from false to true, so all five pass build, behavior,
-accessibility, browser, and output acceptance while retaining the zero-JavaScript
-static sibling. The existing checkout handler grows by 147-154 transferred bytes
-across those authored variants; no shared runtime module was added. Benchmark
-contracts and budgets are unchanged. This is a same-source compiler follow-up,
-not a new equal-condition model run, so the published 11/25 versus 24/25 result
-and the `1.0.0` block remain unchanged pending the complete production rerun.
-This follow-up ships as `@kudzujs/core@0.16.23`.
-
-### Imported Search Source Replay (2026-09-07)
-
-Compiler follow-up shipping as `0.16.24` to `f88279024e68c875ea35592a1ab363bde1cec9d0`
-(`0.16.23`), on Linux x64, Node 24.14.0 and Chrome 152.0.7977.64. Authorizing
-evidence is the initial aliased search patch at line 50 of
-`test-results/ai-delivery-production/0.21.4-gpt-5.6-sol-r3-kudzu-0.16.23-continuation-20260907/content/attempts/content-kudzu-0/adapter.stdout`.
-The reduced fixture first reproduced both the source-located generic expression
-diagnostic and the direct-filter-count `query.trim is not a function` build error.
-
-Imported collection discovery now follows top-level const selector aliases from
-map/count uses. Filter predicates encode proven pure query locals using the
-existing expression language, and count dependencies use signal build values in
-scratch rather than invoking string methods on signal objects. Existing binding,
-selector, keyed, and conditional consumers remain authoritative.
-
-| Metric | Result |
-|---|---|
-| Semantic primitives / IR kinds / runtime concepts / APIs | +0 / +0 / +0 / +0 |
-| Core passes / ordered normalization entries / adapters | +0 / +0 / +0 |
-| Existing normalization/proof boundaries extended | 3: import roots, pure filter locals, count build values |
-| Core semantic LOC, unchanged 0.9 file set | +39, 5,466 -> 5,505; source compiler +26, collection analysis +13 |
-| Regression evidence | 1 reduced fixture; 3 positive source variants, 6 negative forms, 4 tests |
-| Reduced route JS | 9 files; 32,190 raw / 12,324 aggregate gzip B in every variant |
-| Delta from fully inlined control | 0 raw / 0 gzip B; identical JS paths and contents |
-| Reduced static sibling | Complete HTML, 0 B JavaScript |
-| Full retained application replay | 11 pages, 2 interactive; build and existing content acceptance pass |
-| Full application JS vs earlier retained inlined artifacts | 13 files; 55,447 raw / 20,976 aggregate gzip B; all paths/bytes identical |
-| Build/browser timing and AI-cost delta | Not measured; no fresh model benchmark or ranking claim |
-
-The full replay restores the initial page and stylesheet patch over the content
-starter while preserving the retained application's other source. It uses the
-current workspace compiler and the unchanged existing content acceptance runner,
-not a new adapter invocation. It passes search/count/empty/restore, accessibility,
-zero-JavaScript static output, and no browser exceptions or failed requests.
-Raw build/acceptance output and `replay.json` are retained separately under
-`test-results/ai-delivery-production/imported-article-search-source-replay-20260907/`. Its sorted
-HTML/CSS/JS path-plus-NUL-plus-content SHA-256 is
-`92d96f7cfdd4535de28ff9b7665aa241815ed2649e6db14fc22c5eadc8258904`.
-The original attempt and earlier benchmark results are not rewritten.
-
-Release verification: `npm run check` (224 pages, 2 interactive),
-`KUDZU_REQUIRE_CHROME=1 npm test` (standalone project ownership gate, then
-308/308 tests), `npm run test:package` (4 installed packages, one static page),
-and both package dry-runs pass. The release gates ran sequentially with a
-1,200-second tool limit, avoiding overlapping fixture tests.
-Chrome regression checks also prove retained rows and fresh remounts; they are
-correctness checks, not latency samples. Mutable aliases, impure calls, cycles,
-collection escapes, mutating sort, and predicate-parameter state collisions remain
-diagnosed. No general local/callback graph or effect cleanup claim is added.
-The same release includes separate r4 benchmark lifecycle integrity changes:
-atomic partial-usage checkpoints, bounded incremental stdout/stderr evidence,
-setup-inclusive deadlines, owned process-tree termination, and incomplete timeout
-attribution. Two Linux lifecycle regressions cover setup and model timeouts,
-partial usage, descendant termination, and passing acceptance after adapter timeout.
-The Windows `taskkill` path remains untested. Future r4 protocols pin published
-`0.16.23` starters; historical raw evidence remains untouched. The published
-11/25 versus 24/25 comparison and `1.0.0` block remain unchanged.

-## 0.21.2 Browser Performance And Memory
-
-Measured 2026-09-03 at revision
-`fcb42ae388c733ff9098f8c4a059690a21a56ed3` on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0,
-Chrome 152.0.7977.64, an Intel i5-9500, six logical CPUs, and 31.2 GiB RAM.
-These are same-revision application gates, not cross-framework or historical
-regression claims. Each timing benchmark ran alone with seven fresh Chrome
-profiles; the list decision rotates strategies. Median browser budgets are 100
-ms for measured interactions and enhanced navigation, 1,000 ms for bounded-list
-load, and 2,000 ms for the complete static 10,000-row document.
-
-| Fixture | Metric | Raw samples | Median / budget |
-|---|---|---|---:|
-| 2,000 keyed rows | Append 33 | `[9.6, 13.9, 10.8, 12.3, 8.6, 8.8, 7.0]` ms | 9.6 / 100 ms |
-| 2,000 keyed rows | Filter to one | `[16.0, 17.6, 20.4, 21.1, 17.6, 16.3, 16.9]` ms | 17.6 / 100 ms |
-| 2,000 keyed rows | Restore 1,999 | `[66.9, 84.5, 95.3, 78.5, 94.6, 76.4, 98.1]` ms | 84.5 / 100 ms |
-| 2,000 keyed rows | Reverse 2,000 | `[19.4, 18.8, 19.4, 18.7, 18.8, 27.3, 19.6]` ms | 19.4 / 100 ms |
-| Project application | Table save | `[0.8, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.8, 2.8, 1.0]` ms | 0.9 / 100 ms |
-| Project application | List-to-detail navigation | `[4.2, 9.5, 4.9, 4.2, 6.4, 11.7, 4.1]` ms | 4.9 / 100 ms |
-| 10,000-row direct | Complete load | `[999.8, 1030.9, 982.2, 1070.1, 1047.2, 939.0, 994.3]` ms | 999.8 / 2,000 ms |
-| 100-row pagination | Complete load | `[327.3, 133.9, 163.1, 145.1, 150.5, 417.1, 190.1]` ms | 163.1 / 1,000 ms |
-| 100-row pagination | Next range | `[39.3, 13.3, 14.1, 22.1, 14.6, 18.1, 22.3]` ms | 18.1 / 100 ms |
-| 100-row window | Complete load | `[185.1, 472.8, 247.9, 315.0, 251.7, 148.4, 260.6]` ms | 251.7 / 1,000 ms |
-| 100-row window | Next range | `[23.7, 14.4, 14.0, 48.5, 19.5, 50.5, 26.7]` ms | 23.7 / 100 ms |
-
-The keyed graph is nine JavaScript files totaling 30,048 raw / 11,748
-aggregate gzip B. The project list/detail session owns 17 unique JavaScript
-files totaling 81,200 raw / 27,885 aggregate gzip B; its initial list and
-concrete detail route graphs are 69,178 / 24,183 and 67,702 / 23,556 raw/gzip B.
-These are structural route/session artifact bytes from the exact ownership
-report, not compressed network-transfer measurements from the local uncompressed
-server.
-
-The lazy editor initially owns 12,982 raw / 6,153 gzip B and defers one 250,086
-raw / 80,890 gzip B CodeMirror chunk. Two route owners share that one deferred
-chunk while owning 21,599 / 9,466 and 21,609 / 9,468 eager raw/gzip B; the static
-sibling owns zero JavaScript. Focused required-Chrome tests pass 3/3, proving no
-deferred request before activation, one native module request, reuse by later
-owners, and exact conditional/document cleanup.
-
-The 10,000-row static control retains 10,000 rows, 50,015 elements, 90,023 DOM
-nodes, zero listeners, 534,292 forced-GC heap bytes, and zero JavaScript. Both
-bounded strategies retain exactly 100 rows: pagination records 1,467 nodes, one
-listener, and 1,423,560 median heap bytes; windowing records 1,468 nodes, two
-listeners, and 1,528,288 median heap bytes. Off-range state is released and
-recreated while retained-row identity remains correct.
-
-The default endurance gate passes five warm-ups, ten stale-prefetch races, and
-30 ownership cycles in one profile. Across 101 navigations, editor
-mounts/disposals balance at 71/71, browser state remains zero, documents remain
-six, listeners remain seven, nodes move 164 to 165, and forced-GC heap moves
-1,969,344 to 2,049,332 bytes: a 79,988 B increase under the existing 2 MiB or
-15% alarm. No browser exception or failed request occurs. The raw ignored
-artifacts are under
-`test-results/endurance/2026-09-02T23-54-34-324Z/`.
-
-The packet adds median alarms to three existing browser benchmarks and permits
-the existing artifact collector to name the active packet. It changes no
-production source, semantic primitive, compiler pass, runtime concept, deploy
-artifact, public API, or browser byte.
-
-## 0.21.1 Compiler And Route Scale
-
-Measured 2026-09-01 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0, an Intel i5-9500, six
-logical CPUs, and 31.2 GiB RAM. The 100- and 1,000-route scales use one warm-up
-and three measured fresh-process samples. The 10,000-route scale records one
-complete full-contract run with no warm-up after two diagnostic runs completed
-the measured stages but exposed cleanup and recovery-timeout harness defects.
-The generated topology contains nine imported modules plus one page per route
-and 1,011 lines per route. Fixture generation is excluded. These are absolute
-candidate measurements, not cross-framework claims.

-Both clean and retained-session failure probes reject invalid source without
-changing the prior deploy and recover to the expected digest.
-
-The first full 10,000-route attempt exhausted a 10,240 MiB V8 heap while the
-unbounded canonical module cache retained roughly 90,000 parent-linked
-TypeScript ASTs. Bounding complete canonical records to 1,024 retains stable
-position-based symbols while allowing old ASTs to be collected. The identical
-100,000-module / 10,110,000-line topology then completed under the same heap cap.
-This adds eight net production compiler lines, no semantic primitive, compiler
-pass, runtime concept, public API, deploy file, or browser byte.
-
-## 0.21.0 Functional Parity Matrix
-
-Measured 2026-09-01 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and required Chrome. The
-300-test suite passes the maintained content, authentication, forms, CRUD,
-shared-data, large-list, overlay, editor, lazy-load, realtime, error,
-accessibility, and navigation browser journeys. Greenfield `/help`, Apache
-Answer and Memos `/public`, editor `/static`, and the direct 10,000-row route
-remain the corresponding static exclusion controls.
-
-The previously benchmark-only 10,000-item pagination decision now runs once as
-ordinary browser acceptance. Enter advances the native control to rows 101-200,
-focus remains on the control, returning to rows 1-100 releases the old row and
-restores fresh input state, the DOM remains bounded to 100 rows, and no browser
-exception occurs. Its deploy contains 19 files totaling 1,900,048 raw / 242,968
-aggregate gzip B with digest
-`1bbaf3479ac90f923deb469c73eb93c0dd7364e7fe906919b167f2f854deda70`.
-The selected pagination route owns 30,143 raw / 11,193 gzip B JavaScript; the
-complete direct 10,000-row HTML control owns 0 B JavaScript. This freezes
-behavior rather than making a new timing claim.
-
-No fixture source, compiler, IR, normalization pass, runtime concept, public API,
-or browser artifact changed. One focused browser acceptance test and one
-artifact-baseline entry were added. `npm run check`, required-Chrome 300/300,
-package smoke, and the artifact inventory pass, so no release version is
-consumed.
-
-## 0.20.5 Tooling Cost Validation
-
-Measured 2026-09-01 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0, OpenCode 1.18.25, and
-`openai/gpt-5.6-sol`. Five interleaved attempts per condition repaired the same
-Apache Answer-derived static React Bootstrap breakpoint under one prompt,
-budget, public context, starter, and acceptance digest. Baseline exposed plain
-`build`; tool-assisted exposed structured `build`, `inspect`, and `explain`.
-Both conditions passed 5/5 with the same 234 raw / 181 gzip B HTML artifact,
-98.94% byte-identical source retention, and zero browser JavaScript.
-
-Baseline total-token samples were `[75485, 75459, 66141, 60644, 61570]`: a
-66,141 median, 60,644/75,485 range, and 67,860 failure-inclusive tokens per
-success. Tool-assisted samples were `[75983, 87615, 108588, 75828, 75950]`: a
-75,983 median, 75,828/108,588 range, and 84,793 tokens per success. Structured
-tools therefore cost 16,933 more tokens per success on this task. Monetary cost
-was reported as zero by the subscription provider in every attempt.
-
-Baseline versus tool-assisted medians and ranges were: file reads 2 (1/3)
-versus 2 (1/3), tool calls 8 (5/9) versus 9 (8/12), builds 2 (2/2) versus 2
-(2/3), correction cycles 1 (1/1) versus 1 (1/2), and completion time 45,811 ms
-(43,194/46,390) versus 60,736 ms (52,313/76,963). There were no failed
-attempts. This rejects an AI cost-reduction claim for the structured tool bundle
-on this task; it does not remove the independently useful machine-readable
-commands or claim results for other tasks.
-
-## 0.16.14 Fair AI Delivery Evidence
-
-Measured 2026-09-01 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0. The deterministic protocol
-fixture records two interleaved attempts per variant, including one success and
-one retained failure each. Both variants therefore report a 50% fixture success
-rate, 50 nanos median successful cost, and 100 nanos total cost per success when
-failed attempts remain in the numerator. Successful artifacts are one 63 raw /
-66 gzip B HTML file with digest
-`0d22f579d793d0034c967c7ffa08e0b2c377bc36c959c7b4bafab587fd5dda60`.
-This validates evidence accounting only and is not a model-driven framework
-comparison. Compiler passes, runtime concepts, representative deploy output, and
-browser bytes are unchanged. Browser-disabled and required-Chrome suites pass
-297/297 tests, package smoke passes, and the runner adds no dependency.
-
-## 0.16.13 Route Artifact Explanations
-
-Measured 2026-09-01 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0. Route explanation is a
-build-time projection over existing route, source, compatibility, ownership,
-capability, and artifact records. Representative deploy manifests and hashes
-remain unchanged. The maintained Worker graph remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B and
-the window graph remains 14,456 raw / 6,160 gzip B. Seven clean builds record a
-605 ms median on this host without a timing comparison. Browser-disabled and
-required-Chrome suites pass 296/296 tests, package smoke passes, and focused CLI
-coverage includes an effect-owned Worker route, configured base, exact missing
-route diagnostic, deterministic output, artifact hashes, and zero-JavaScript
-static exclusion.
-
-## 0.16.12 Bounded Application Inspection
-
-Measured 2026-08-31 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0. Inspection is a build-time
-projection over existing source, compatibility, ownership, capability, and
-artifact records. Representative deploy manifests and hashes remain unchanged.
-The maintained Worker graph remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B and the window graph
-remains 14,456 raw / 6,160 gzip B. Seven clean builds record a 648.7 ms median
-on this host without a timing comparison. Browser-disabled and required-Chrome
-suites pass 295/295 tests, package smoke passes, and bounded deterministic CLI
-coverage includes reachable-source filtering and structured blocker output.
-
-## 0.16.11 Structured Compiler Diagnostics
-
-Measured 2026-08-31 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0. Structured diagnostics are
-compiler and CLI output only; all representative deploy manifests, route bytes,
-and hashes remain unchanged. The maintained Worker graph remains 907 raw / 477
-gzip B and the window graph remains 14,456 raw / 6,160 gzip B. Seven clean
-release-candidate builds record a 1,034.4 ms median on this loaded host; timing is
-not compared.
-The complete browser-disabled and required-Chrome suites pass 293/293 tests,
-focused JSON CLI and human diagnostic tests pass, and package smoke builds one
-static page with zero interactive pages.
-
-## 0.16.10 Apache Answer Authentication Journey
-
-Measured 2026-08-31 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and required Chrome. The
-existing authentication fixture remains 17 deploy files and 36,441 raw / 15,598
-aggregate gzip B. The login route owns 25,684 raw / 11,372 gzip B, settings owns
-26,818 raw / 11,319 gzip B, and the public sibling owns zero JavaScript. Required
-Chrome verifies anonymous, invalid and valid login, token restore, shared
-header/settings state, 401 clearing, and replacement navigation against a
-deterministic server. No production source or deploy artifact changed. The
-maintained Worker graph remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B and the window graph remains
-14,456 raw / 6,160 gzip B. Seven clean builds record a 674.7 ms median on this
-loaded host; timing is not compared.
-
-## 0.16.9 Compatibility Boundary And Inventory
-
-Measured 2026-08-31 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and required Chrome. The
-compatibility inventory is compiler scratch generated from reachable original
-source before normalization; it emits no deploy file or browser capability.
-Existing project-output baselines and package-specific diagnostics pass without
-change. The maintained Worker graph remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B and the window
-graph remains 14,456 raw / 6,160 gzip B. Seven clean builds record a 532.6 ms
-median on this loaded host; timing is not compared.
-
-## 0.16.8 Shared Lazy Capability Graph
-
-Measured 2026-08-31 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome. Two route owners
-share one deferred CodeMirror chunk measuring 250,086 raw / 80,890 aggregate
-gzip B. Their eager graphs are 21,599 raw / 9,466 gzip B and 21,609 raw / 9,468
-gzip B. The static sibling remains complete HTML with zero JavaScript.
-
-Required Chrome proves zero deferred requests before interaction, one request on
-the first owner, no navigation-triggered prefetch, no duplicate request for the
-second owner, and exact owner/document cleanup. Native ESM supplies the
-document-lifetime cache; no loader, prefetch registry, cache, or runtime concept
-was added. The maintained Worker benchmark remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B for the
-Worker graph and 14,456 raw / 6,160 gzip B for the window graph. Seven clean
-builds record a 696.6 ms median on this loaded host; timing is not compared.
-
-## 0.16.7 Lazy Retained Editor Lifecycle
-
-Measured 2026-08-30 on macOS arm64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome. The existing
-eager real CodeMirror editor owns 214,968 raw / 71,607 aggregate gzip B. The
-lazy retained journey initially owns 15,896 raw / 7,230 gzip B and defers
-250,086 raw / 80,890 gzip B, reducing initial gzip by 64,377 B (89.9%). Its
-static sibling remains complete HTML with zero JavaScript.
-
-Required Chrome proves zero initial deferred requests, one activation request,
-bidirectional updates, accessible update-error recovery, retained editor DOM,
-conditional cleanup, cached fresh remount, and document disposal. The maintained
-Worker benchmark remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B for the Worker graph and 14,456
-raw / 6,160 gzip B for the window graph. Seven clean builds record a 230.5 ms
-median. No browser runtime file or concept was added.
-
-## 0.16.6 Owner-Triggered Capability Imports
-
-Measured 2026-08-29 on macOS arm64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome. The existing
-eager CodeMirror route owns 214,968 raw / 71,607 aggregate gzip B. Its guarded
-lazy counterpart initially owns 12,982 raw / 6,153 gzip B and defers 250,086
-raw / 80,890 gzip B, reducing initial gzip by 65,454 B (91.4%). Its static
-sibling remains complete HTML with zero JavaScript.
-
-Required Chrome proves zero initial deferred requests, one request on owner
-activation, mount, exact cleanup, cached remount without another request, and
-document disposal. The maintained Worker benchmark remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B
-for the Worker graph and 14,456 raw / 6,160 gzip B for the window graph. Seven
-clean builds record a 222.8 ms median. No browser runtime file or concept was
-added.
-
-## 0.16.5 Bounded Navigation Cache
-
-Measured 2026-08-28 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome. Before the
-production fix, five held-prefetch races increased retained CDP documents from 8
-to 16 after a newer canonical navigation had pruned those URLs. Moving the
-existing revision check before the cache write restores the exact bound without
-adding an LRU, cancellation registry, runtime file, or cache abstraction.
-
-The default endurance gate runs ten batched cache races and 30 ownership cycles
-in one Chrome profile. Across 101 navigations, baseline/final documents remain
-8, browser state entries 0, DOM nodes 174, listeners 7, and editor
-mounts/disposals 71/71. Forced-GC heap moves from 1,826,244 to 2,022,160 bytes,
-below the larger of the declared 2 MiB or 15% alarm.
-
-The maintained Worker benchmark remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B for the Worker
-graph and 14,456 raw / 6,160 gzip B for the window graph. Seven clean builds
-record a 795.3 ms median on this host; timing is not compared because concurrent
-host load differs. Production runtime LOC, concepts, and files remain unchanged.
-
-## 0.16.4 Scoped GSAP Animation Lifecycle
-
-Measured 2026-08-28 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome. The real GSAP
-fixture emits 8 JavaScript files totaling 94,110 raw / 37,819 aggregate gzip
-bytes, while its static sibling emits zero JavaScript. Required Chrome proves
-scoped presentation, native reduced-motion fallback, dependency replacement,
-conditional and enhanced-route disposal, retained structure, and fresh remount.
-
-The maintained Worker benchmark remains byte-identical at 907 raw / 477 gzip B
-for the Worker graph and 14,456 raw / 6,159 gzip B for the window graph. Seven
-clean builds record a 625.9 ms median on this host. Timing is not compared with
-the prior sweep. The change adds no runtime file or animation abstraction; one
-existing package-reference ancestry helper shrinks by two lines.
-
-## 0.16.3 State-Owned Drag And Drop
-
-Measured 2026-08-28 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome. The real
-SortableJS fixture emits 10 JavaScript files totaling 72,251 raw / 26,603
-aggregate gzip bytes, while its static sibling emits zero JavaScript. Required
-Chrome proves drag and keyboard reorder, retained row/input identity, invalid
-package-index recovery, conditional and document disposal, and fresh remount.
-
-The maintained Worker benchmark remains byte-identical at 907 raw / 477 gzip B
-for the Worker graph and 14,456 raw / 6,159 gzip B for the window graph. Seven
-clean builds record a 999.7 ms median on this host. Timing is not compared with
-the prior macOS sweep. The change adds no runtime file or drag/drop abstraction;
-it classifies `HTMLElement` with the existing browser globals used by bundled
-effect callbacks.
-
-## 0.16.1 Retained Editor Ownership
-
-Measured 2026-08-28 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome. The new
-CodeMirror fixture emits 7 JavaScript files totaling 214,968 raw / 71,607
-aggregate gzip bytes, while its static sibling emits zero JavaScript. These
-bytes belong to the real editor package and existing selected effect/runtime
-capabilities; no retained-ref runtime file or shared widget runtime was added.
-
-Required Chrome proves initial content, retained package DOM across application
-updates, editor-to-state updates, accessible error recovery, conditional
-disposal/remount, and document disposal. The maintained Worker benchmark remains
-byte-identical to 0.15.1 at 907 raw / 477 gzip B for the Worker graph and 14,456
-raw / 6,159 gzip B for the window graph. The generated 50-route, 500-module
-source-scale fixture retains compiler digest
-`7c366079a984b3d62fb19a26305326d3278f029d2193d39340ddd3a4be5adc6e` and
-output digest `e107d78a7f55bc8a1af0ea6e53efeffa19b3d44d21c892484d103fa346e7ba7b`.
-Timing from this Linux host is recorded only as a local check and is not compared
-with the prior macOS release sweep.
-
-## 0.15.1 Maintained Benchmark Sweep
-
-Remeasured 2026-08-27 on macOS arm64 with Node 24.14.0, Apple M4 hardware,
-16 GiB RAM, and Chrome 151.0.7922.174. Candidate comparisons use clean
-`v0.14.3` except project-state scale, whose maintained contract compares the
-published `0.10.0` baseline. Every paired compiler/native/commerce output digest
-or manifest is identical unless the row below records route-specific `0.15.1`
-output.
-
-| Maintained runner | Current `0.15.1` result |
-|---|---|
-| `npm run benchmark` | Worker-effects clean-build median 220.1 ms; Worker graph 907 raw / 477 gzip B; window graph 14,456 / 6,159 B. |
-| `npm run benchmark:keyed` | 2,000-row build 233.2 ms; append 2.2 ms, filter 3.9 ms, restore 15.6 ms, reverse 5.3 ms medians; 30,048 raw / 11,748 gzip B JavaScript. |
-| `RUNS=7 npm run benchmark:native` | `v0.14.3` / `0.15.1` dispatch medians 3.5 / 3.4 ms for 5,000 clicks; identical 14,354 raw / 6,470 gzip B JavaScript and zero changed files. |
-| `RUNS=7 WARMUPS=1 npm run benchmark:module-cache` | `v0.14.3` / `0.15.1` medians 248.338 / 249.692 ms and 296.9 / 296.8 MiB peak RSS; identical 454,007-byte result and digest. |
-| `npm run benchmark:source-scale` | 50 routes, 500 modules, 50,550 lines: `v0.14.3` / `0.15.1` compile medians 499.3 / 498.9 ms and clean builds 851.5 / 853.8 ms; identical compiler and output digests. |
-| `RUNS=7 npm run benchmark:commerce` | 1,011-page storefront: `v0.14.3` / `0.15.1` clean-build medians 1,854.6 / 1,822.1 ms; all 1,053 files and 10,140,618 output bytes match. |
-| `npm run benchmark:project-navigation` | Seven-profile table update median 0.4 ms and navigation median 2.3 ms; 17 session JavaScript files total 77,779 raw / 27,050 gzip B. |
-| `npm run benchmark:project-state` | One-, eight-, and 32-state commit medians 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 ms; deploy digest `3f83712254d95f1cf59c5034f363ea906406efa1bd9539f3bb8b9a0d54a3fdc5`. |
-| `npm run benchmark:project-list-decision` | Direct load 138.2 ms with 90,023 nodes; pagination load/range 39.6/5.8 ms with 2,867 nodes; window load/range 40.7/5.8 ms with 2,868 nodes. |
-
-The paired timing ranges overlap at module-cache and source-scale granularity,
-so no compiler regression or improvement is claimed. Native output is byte
-identical. Pagination remains selected over the timing-tied authored window: it
-uses one listener instead of two, has lower median heap (1,485,168 versus
-1,586,528 B), and preserves native page, focus, keyboard, and variable-row-height
-behavior without fixed-height range policy.
-
-## 0.15.1 Public Cross-Framework Commerce Fixture
-
-Measured 2026-08-27 from public fixture commit
-`f2d5be1a516c539e30f7125f6870d42b1dd02ecd` with 1,000 products and Kudzu
-linked to this `0.15.1` checkout. The matched variants use Astro 7.1.3 with
-React 19.2.8, React Router 8.3.0, TanStack Start 1.168.32, and Next.js 16.2.11.
-All five builds completed before the same asset and browser harnesses ran.
-
-| Variant | Initial JavaScript across six routes, gzip | Total output | First reliable click after first paint | Degraded capabilities |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| Kudzu 0.15.1 | 4.2-9.9 KiB | 9.42 MiB | 300 ms | 15 / 18 |
-| Astro 7.1.3 + React | 60.6-61.1 KiB | 13.95 MiB | 1,500 ms | 12 / 18 |
-| React Router 8.3.0 | 103.8-104.6 KiB | 7.04 MiB | 2,000 ms | 8 / 18 |
-| TanStack Start 1.168.32 | 103.5-104.1 KiB | 9.87 MiB | 2,000 ms | 9 / 18 |
-| Next.js 16.2.11 | 144.2-146.2 KiB | 35.76 MiB | 3,000 ms | 8 / 18 |
-
-The initial-JavaScript column records what Chrome actually received for home,
-search, collection, product, policy, and checkout routes. Browser results are
-medians from seven fresh sessions under 4x CPU slowdown and Chrome Slow 4G.
-Reliable click is the first tested delay with zero lost add-to-cart attempts in
-seven isolated sessions. The resilience score covers six matched capabilities
-under blocked JavaScript, a two-second script delay, and one missing script.
-Pre-rendered content and native links remain usable without JavaScript in every
-variant; the score does not treat read-only fallback as full interactivity.
-
-This is the current executable public commerce comparison, not a replacement
-for the broader historical 0.9 C1/C2/C5 contracts. That ignored local workspace
-is unavailable in current checkouts, so its React, Vue, Svelte, and Astro result
-remains provenance rather than a current ranking. The public commerce fixture
-does not contain Vue or Svelte variants.
-
-## 0.15.1 Key-Scoped Native Popover Intake
-
-Measured 2026-08-27 on macOS arm64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.174. The maintained project fixture uses native Popover with one
-key-scoped `useId()` relationship per project row. Required Chrome verifies
-Escape, light dismiss, trigger focus restoration, reorder identity, inserted
-and remounted IDs, and enhanced-navigation cleanup.
-
-The application emits 44 files totaling 171,202 raw / 53,629 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`46ba45b4a423b9627c6ede5f8dd3a667f593cb5401454ae42ecc66207b07b323`.
-The maintained two-route session contains 17 JavaScript files totaling 77,779
-raw / 27,050 aggregate gzip bytes. `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript.
-
-Seven fresh Chrome profiles record table update samples of `[0.4, 0.4, 0.5,
-0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5]` ms, a 0.5 ms median and 0.4/0.5 ms range. Navigation
-samples are `[4, 2.4, 2.6, 2.5, 2.5, 2.8, 2.4]` ms, a 2.5 ms median and 2.4/4
-ms range. These ranges overlap prior retained-path evidence; no timing
-improvement or regression is claimed.
-
-## 0.14.3 10,000-Item Browser Decision Intake
-
-Measured 2026-08-27 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-142.0.7444.175 using `RUNS=7 npm run benchmark:project-list-decision`.
-The tracked fixture rotates three fresh-profile routes, forces garbage collection,
-and records navigation completion, range replacement, DOM counters, JavaScript
-heap, native edit identity, and bounded-row release.
-
-| Strategy | Load median | Range median | Rows | DOM nodes median | JS heap median |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| Direct DOM | 806.6 ms | n/a | 10,000 | 90,023 | 535,572 B |
-| Pagination | 165.4 ms | 12.1 ms | 100 | 1,470 | 1,407,412 B |
-| Scroll window | 161.2 ms | 16.5 ms | 100 | 1,471 | 1,507,712 B |
-
-Direct load samples are `[767, 790.1, 882.8, 908.8, 753, 826.7, 806.6]`
-ms. Pagination load/range samples are `[253.6, 138.6, 157, 133.7, 181.9,
-202, 165.4]` / `[10.8, 22.1, 15.8, 13.7, 12.1, 10.5, 11]` ms. Scroll
-window load/range samples are `[156.7, 154.6, 163.4, 161.2, 175.9, 203.5,
-137.1]` / `[21.3, 16.4, 14.6, 17.1, 15.9, 16.5, 20.4]` ms.
-
-The direct route is static and therefore has the lowest JavaScript heap; that
-does not offset its 61.2x DOM-node count and 4.9x load median. Pagination and the
-scroll window have overlapping load ranges, while pagination has the lower range
-median, lower JavaScript heap, no scroll listener, native focus/page semantics,
-and no fixed-row-height policy. Pagination is selected for 10,000-item project
-tables. The window experiment adds no framework primitive and does not authorize
-`0.14.4`; three independent failing fixtures remain required.
-
-## 0.14.2 Infinite Loading Composition
-
-Measured 2026-08-26 on macOS arm64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.174.
-
-The project route adds one intrinsic sentinel, an owned `IntersectionObserver`,
-cursor fetch, duplicate suppression, error/retry/end state, and immutable keyed
-append. Required Chrome proves a three-request bound across two successful pages,
-at most six retained projects, retained existing-row identity, observer cleanup,
-and route-owned fetch abort. `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript.
-
-The application emits 44 files totaling 168,037 raw / 52,955 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`230dea098442275e42a966ca595743a4da9c832327ba52d4d09de663c68f8f1a`.
-The two-route session remains 17 JavaScript files and totals 76,889 raw / 26,750
-aggregate gzip bytes. The authored application composition adds 3,732 raw / 770
-gzip deploy bytes and 2,063 raw / 546 gzip session bytes over `0.14.1`; no
-semantic primitive, IR kind, compiler pass, production compiler/runtime line,
-runtime concept, or public API was added.
-
-Table update samples are `[0.4, 0.5, 0.5, 0.3, 0.5, 0.4, 0.6]` ms, with a 0.5
-ms median and 0.3/0.6 ms minimum/maximum. Navigation samples are
-`[2.3, 2.3, 2.2, 2.6, 2.5, 2.5, 2.3]` ms, with a 2.3 ms median and 2.2/2.6 ms
-minimum/maximum. The environment differs from the `0.14.1` release evidence, so
-no improvement or regression claim is made.
-
-## 0.14.1 Nested Object-State Collections
-
-Measured 2026-08-26 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-142.0.7444.175.
-
-The project route now roots its selected project table and nested issue rows in
-one direct `projectData.projects` field. Required Chrome proves immutable
-whole-object replacement, nested insert/update/reorder/remove/re-add, retained
-identity, latest handlers, descendant state release, and fresh remount. `/help`
-remains 0 B JavaScript.
-
-The application emits 44 files totaling 164,305 raw / 52,185 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`0a3b7e10b3447a76a9c04ef34ad7c2bfa30400ea53c9d16fc85b1c7cbf2ea203`.
-The two-route session remains 17 JavaScript files and totals 74,826 raw / 26,204
-aggregate gzip bytes. The delta from `0.14.0` includes the authored nested issue
-controls and handlers plus one build-time validation-line edit and one production
-list-runtime line; no semantic primitive, IR kind, compiler pass, runtime concept,
-or public API was added.
-
-Table update samples are
-`[0.8, 0.8, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.8, 0.8]` ms, with a 0.8 ms median and 0.7/0.9 ms
-minimum/maximum. Navigation samples are
-`[3.7, 4.1, 4.5, 3.9, 4.2, 3.9, 4.3]` ms, with a 4.1 ms median and 3.7/4.5 ms
-minimum/maximum. The navigation ranges overlap the `0.14.0` release evidence;
-no improvement or regression claim is made.
-
-`npm run benchmark:source-scale` generates its fixture outside the repository so 50,000 lines of synthetic source are not tracked. The default topology is 50 pages plus 450 route-owned imported modules. Generation is excluded from timing; fresh-process samples separately report source reads, reachable-graph discovery, source compilation, clean production build, compiler-result and deploy digests, output files/bytes, cache counters, and peak RSS. `ROUTES`, `MODULES_PER_ROUTE`, `FILLER_LINES`, `WARMUPS`, and `RUNS` may reduce or expand the fixture without changing the default acceptance floor. `TARGET_ROOT` measures another checkout; `BASELINE_ROOT` alternates that checkout with the current tree and requires identical deploy output.
-
-The maintained 2026-08-13 comparison used Node 24.14.0 and an Intel Core i5-9500 Linux x64 host, one warm-up, and seven alternating fresh-process samples against clean `v0.8.44`. A narrow fast path skips Kudzu semantic transformation for 450 plain `.ts` modules whose runtime edges are exclusively resolvable relative TypeScript imports or exports; all other modules retain the existing transformer. Compile median fell from 2,323.9 ms to 1,413.2 ms (39.2%) and clean-build median from 3,325.3 ms to 2,382.4 ms (28.4%); every paired sample improved. Compile peak-RSS median fell from 571.2 MiB to 552.6 MiB, while build peak RSS was 570.9 MiB versus 568.8 MiB. Compiler scratch fell from 7,328,390 to 1,971,061 bytes. Both targets emitted the same 50 static HTML files, 10,980 bytes, and deploy SHA-256 `e107d78a7f55bc8a1af0ea6e53efeffa19b3d44d21c892484d103fa346e7ba7b`. This is a source-scale compiler comparison, not a cross-framework result.

-## 0.14.0 Project Table CRUD And Identity
-
-Measured 2026-08-26 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-142.0.7444.175. Required Chrome proves native table insert, update, delete,
-reorder, sort, filter, selection, keyboard focus, row-local edit state, and
-retained keyed DOM identity.
-
-The application emits 44 files totaling 159,258 raw / 51,627 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`ebb3358e7a03612459e723ae765c39d105498db9d293415b924f1066cddf4793`.
-The two-route session remains 17 JavaScript files and totals 73,304 raw / 25,930
-aggregate gzip bytes, 2,273 raw / 626 gzip bytes above `0.13.3`. `/help`
-remains 0 B JavaScript. The added bytes are route-specific authored table
-handlers, bindings, selectors, and keyed row state; there is no data-grid
-runtime.
-
-Table update samples are `[0.7, 0.8, 1.0, 0.7, 1.1, 0.7, 0.8]` ms, with a 0.8
-ms median and 0.7/1.1 ms minimum/maximum. Navigation samples are
-`[3.9, 3.9, 5.5, 4.2, 6.1, 3.5, 3.4]` ms, with a 3.9 ms median and 3.4/6.1 ms
-minimum/maximum. Table update is a new measurement, so no same-content latency
-delta is claimed.
-
-Core semantic LOC remains 5,682 with zero new semantic primitives, IR kinds,
-compiler passes, production compiler/runtime lines, normalization rules,
-adapters, runtime concepts, public APIs, or data-grid runtimes. Infinite loading,
-windowing, and the 10,000-row strategy remain later measured decisions.
-
-## 0.13.3 File Upload Boundary
-
-Measured 2026-08-25 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-142.0.7444.175. Required Chrome proves plain-text type and 1 KiB size
-validation before any request, native file reading, `FormData`/fetch upload,
-user cancellation, delayed failure and retry, route-departure abort, and
-successful keyed attachment mutation.
-
-The application emits 44 files totaling 150,023 raw / 50,240 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`a16fd5dbc08086aa6a7c0ec0aba3a38fbe2a63b96005a81e8747a7f4e45e214e`.
-The two-route session remains 17 JavaScript files and totals 71,031 raw / 25,304
-aggregate gzip bytes, 2,367 raw / 557 gzip bytes above `0.13.2`. `/help`
-remains 0 B JavaScript. The added bytes are route-specific authored file
-validation, multipart upload, effect cleanup, and keyed attachment behavior;
-there is no upload runtime.
-
-Navigation samples are `[3.7, 5.0, 3.5, 3.7, 3.8, 3.8, 4.0]` ms, with a 3.8
-ms median and 3.5/5.0 ms minimum/maximum. This changes the destination, so no
-same-content runtime regression or improvement claim is made.
-
-Core semantic LOC remains 5,682 with zero new semantic primitives, IR kinds,
-compiler passes, production compiler/runtime lines, normalization rules,
-adapters, runtime concepts, public APIs, upload schedulers, or transfer
-runtimes. Fetch does not expose upload progress, so the application states that
-boundary instead of fabricating progress. Chunking, resume, background sync,
-and files above the authored 1 KiB in-memory text limit remain unsupported.
-
-## 0.13.2 Multistep Draft And Autosave
-
-Measured 2026-08-25 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-142.0.7444.175. Required Chrome proves native step validation, debounced save,
-server rejection of an older in-flight version, ignored stale completion,
-enhanced-navigation and reload restoration, retained input on conflict, and
-reset with timer and storage cleanup.
-
-The application emits 44 files totaling 144,633 raw / 49,217 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`06a35341c5e70bfec48c46ad767ac351326b39ba701f5c1f1d03992a65ec8b9e`.
-The two-route session remains 17 JavaScript files and totals 68,664 raw / 24,747
-aggregate gzip bytes, 3,260 raw / 848 gzip bytes above `0.13.1`. `/help`
-remains 0 B JavaScript. The added bytes are route-specific authored state,
-conditions, handlers, and effects; there is no wizard or autosave runtime.
-
-Navigation samples are `[10.7, 7.4, 3.7, 7.9, 6.1, 4.0, 5.4]` ms, with a 6.1
-ms median and 3.7/10.7 ms minimum/maximum. This changes the destination and the
-range is noisy, so no same-content runtime regression or improvement claim is
-made.
-
-Core semantic LOC remains 5,682 with zero new semantic primitives, IR kinds,
-compiler passes, production compiler/runtime lines, normalization rules,
-adapters, runtime concepts, public APIs, wizard schedulers, or autosave
-schedulers. One real application fixture closes the packet through existing
-state, conditional ownership, dependency-effect cleanup, owned fetch, and
-versioned storage semantics.
-
-## 0.13.1 Nested Form Metadata
-
-Measured 2026-08-25 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-142.0.7444.175. Required Chrome proves conditional assignee fields, dynamic
-checklist rows, explicit dirty/touched display, stable-key reorder, removal,
-native reset, exact retained/released DOM identity, and the preserved keyboard
-constraint and server retry journey.
-
-The application emits 44 files totaling 138,064 raw / 47,964 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`f0d96cfd5dee2cf3fa67f4ebe25d8b32cbb1bf66e72ed5ca1c29bd06fdcc0a33`.
-The two-route session remains 17 JavaScript files and totals 65,404 raw / 23,899
-aggregate gzip bytes, 3,286 raw / 803 gzip bytes above `0.13.0`. `/help`
-remains 0 B JavaScript. The added bytes are route-specific authored handlers,
-bindings, conditionals, and keyed-list descriptors; there is no shared form
-runtime.
-
-Navigation samples are `[3.5, 3.3, 4.4, 3.3, 3.2, 4.7, 3.3]` ms, with a 3.3
-ms median and 3.2/4.7 ms minimum/maximum. The range overlaps `0.13.0`, and the
-destination now contains dynamic nested form behavior, so no same-content
-runtime regression or improvement claim is made.
-
-Core semantic LOC remains 5,682 with no semantic primitive, IR kind, compiler
-pass, production compiler/runtime line, normalization rule, adapter, runtime
-concept, public API, registration function, proxy metadata graph, schema
-adapter, or form runtime.
-
-## 0.13.0 Production Form And Server Validation
-
-Measured 2026-08-24 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-142.0.7444.175. Required Chrome uses real Enter key input to prove native empty
-and minimum-length constraints, then executes delayed field-error, form-error,
-and successful issue-creation responses. Pending state, focused and ARIA-linked
-field feedback, alert/status roles, exact requests, retry, and retained valid
-input all pass.
-
-The application emits 44 files totaling 127,343 raw / 46,261 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`183f5a7ca081f99ae38de6974e61fdcb32ca49de699359aac053d0154ae38036`.
-The two-route session uses 17 JavaScript files totaling 62,118 raw / 23,096
-aggregate gzip bytes. Compared with `0.12.4`, the authored form, three primitive
-states, one ref, and one route-specific handler add 992 raw / 433 aggregate gzip
-session bytes and one browser file. `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript.
-
-Navigation samples are `[3.8, 5.6, 4.3, 2.6, 2.9, 3.6, 3.1]` ms, with a 3.6 ms
-median and 2.6/5.6 ms minimum/maximum. The range does not overlap the `0.12.4`
-1.5/2.4 ms range. This is a changed-content application measurement: the
-destination now parses and mounts the complete issue form and route handler.
-Production compiler/runtime source is unchanged, so no same-content runtime
-regression or improvement claim is made.
-
-Core semantic LOC remains 5,682 with no semantic primitive, IR kind, compiler
-pass, production compiler/runtime line, runtime concept, public API, form
-registry, metadata proxy, schema adapter, or form runtime.
-
-## 0.12.4 Nested Layout Evidence Decision
-
-Verified 2026-08-24 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-142.0.7444.175. Six executable route sets fit the existing ownership model: one
-retained layout owner around one replaceable route owner, followed by existing
-conditional, keyed, effect, and DOM ownership. Zero routes prove an intermediate
-retained layout lifetime, so the packet closes by its stop condition without an
-owner chain.
-
-Generated output is byte-identical to `0.12.3`: 43 deploy files totaling 123,835
-raw / 45,379 aggregate gzip bytes with SHA-256
-`fb9d24cc01791bf80b67b659738ba62beded6ff6ce14a86a278fa4b34d088acf`.
-The two-route session remains 16 JavaScript files totaling 61,126 raw / 22,663
-aggregate gzip bytes, and `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript.
-
-Core semantic LOC remains 5,682 with zero semantic primitives, IR kinds,
-compiler passes, production compiler/runtime lines, runtime concepts, layout
-registries, disposal paths, public APIs, browser files, or browser bytes added.
-No benchmark rerun or latency comparison applies because production and
-generated code are unchanged; the published `0.12.3` 1.8 ms median and 1.5-2.4
-ms range remain provenance rather than a new claim.
-
-## 0.12.3 Route Failure And Restoration Policy
-
-Measured 2026-08-24 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome
-142.0.7444.175. Required Chrome proves current-document retention for fetch and
-response-body transport failures, accessible failure status, restored link
-focus, retry after a failed pending prefetch, invalid-document fallback,
-capability-module fallback, stylesheet fallback, and no pre-commit route
-removal. The maintained application-owned HTTP 500 alert and explicit data
-retry continue to pass.
-
-The two-route session uses 16 JavaScript files totaling 61,126 raw / 22,663
-aggregate gzip bytes, an increase of 359 raw bytes from `0.12.2` for
-transport-error classification, status, and focus restoration. The 102-byte
-gzip difference is unpaired and environment-sensitive, so it is not attributed
-to the patch. Navigation
-samples are `[1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 1.7, 1.8, 2.4, 1.8]` ms, with a 1.8 ms median and
-1.5/2.4 ms minimum/maximum. The environment differs from the macOS arm64 Chrome
-151 `0.12.2` measurement, so no latency comparison is claimed.
-
-The application emits 43 files totaling 123,835 raw / 45,379 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`fb9d24cc01791bf80b67b659738ba62beded6ff6ce14a86a278fa4b34d088acf`.
-Core semantic LOC remains 5,682 with no semantic primitive, compiler pass, core
-compiler line, runtime concept, or public API. Navigation runtime source grows
-from 351 to 374 lines. `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript.
-
-## 0.12.2 Authentication And Permission Boundary
-
-Measured 2026-08-23 on macOS arm64 with Node 25.6.1 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.172. Required Chrome proves invalid and valid login, token-backed
-reload restoration, anonymous and rejected direct entry, role-aware controls,
-server-enforced API and admin authorization, token clearing, and logout.
-
-The two-route session uses 16 JavaScript files totaling 60,767 raw / 22,561
-aggregate gzip bytes, an increase of 1,793 raw / 432 gzip bytes from `0.12.1`
-for authored session state, restoration, and authorization headers. Navigation
-samples are `[1.3, 1.5, 1.5, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.4]` ms, with a 1.4 ms median and
-1.2/1.5 ms minimum/maximum. The range overlaps `0.12.1`, so no latency change
-is claimed.
-
-The application emits 43 files totaling 123,476 raw / 45,305 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`81d0b3c5e0d1d1f72f29d219647601463f5317f215274e14a45fe5ba92eb033e`.
-The login route uses 12,093 raw / 5,795 aggregate gzip JavaScript bytes. Core
-semantic LOC remains 5,682 with no pass, primitive, production compiler/runtime
-change, or runtime-concept change. `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript.
-
-## 0.12.1 Shared Layout, History, Focus, And Scroll
-
-Measured 2026-08-23 on macOS arm64 with Node 25.6.1 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.172. `RUNS=7 npm run benchmark:project-navigation` uses fresh Chrome
-profiles after the required browser journey proves hash and non-hash focus,
-explicit hash/top scroll, title/live announcements, back/forward, retained
-layout state, fresh route state, and native navigation outside the route group.
-
-The two-route session uses 16 JavaScript files totaling 58,974 raw / 22,129
-aggregate gzip bytes, an increase of 4 raw / 5 gzip bytes from `0.12.0` for the
-correct non-hash focus fallback. Navigation samples are
-`[1.5, 1.4, 1.3, 1.3, 1.3, 1.3, 1.4]` ms, with a 1.3 ms median and 1.3/1.5 ms
-minimum/maximum. The range overlaps `0.12.0`, so no latency change is claimed.
-
-The application emits 36 files totaling 106,096 raw / 38,201 aggregate gzip
-bytes with deploy SHA-256
-`4f1ce541af0794fcb17458ad37db7b32beb434f3a83cb7f949f13b3e4536fe1c`.
-Core semantic LOC remains 5,682 with no pass, primitive, or runtime-concept
-change. `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript. No AI-delivery cost comparison applies
-to this browser correctness patch.
-
-## 0.12.0 Project Route Shell And Runtime Parameters
-
-Measured 2026-08-23 on macOS arm64 with Node 25.6.1 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.172. `RUNS=21 npm run benchmark:project-navigation` retains the same
-fetch-complete list-to-detail interval while the application also emits
-standalone runtime project and issue routes.
-
-The maintained enhanced session is unchanged at 16 JavaScript files totaling
-58,970 raw / 22,124 aggregate gzip bytes. Navigation samples are
-`[1.3, 1.4, 1.2, 1.4, 1.4, 1.4, 1.3, 1.3, 1.2, 1.4, 1.4, 1.3, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.6, 1.3, 1.4, 1.4, 1.4]`
-ms, with a 1.3 ms median and 1.1/1.6 ms minimum/maximum. The range overlaps
-`0.11.4`, so no latency change is claimed.
-
-The runtime project route uses 17,905 raw / 8,455 aggregate gzip JavaScript
-bytes; its issue route uses 18,002 raw / 8,474 aggregate gzip bytes. Complete
-deploy output grows by 16 files and 28,314 raw / 11,911 aggregate gzip bytes.
-These routes reuse existing pathname parameters, layout effects, bindings, and
-native anchors. No compiler or browser-runtime source changed, and `/help`
-remains 0 B JavaScript.
-
-## 0.11.4 Project Pagination And Polling Policy
-
-Measured 2026-08-23 on macOS arm64 with Node 25.6.1 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.172. `RUNS=21 npm run benchmark:project-navigation` retains the same
-fetch-complete list-to-detail interval. Required Chrome separately proves URL
-page/filter push and back synchronization, explicit refresh, hidden-page polling
-suppression, one visible refresh, exact cleanup, and results bounded to two rows.
-
-The two-route session uses 16 unique JavaScript files totaling 58,970 raw /
-22,124 aggregate gzip bytes. Navigation samples are
-`[1.3, 1.6, 1.3, 1.3, 1.3, 1.3, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2, 1.4, 1.3, 1.3, 1.3, 1.4, 1.3, 1.3, 1.3, 1.3, 1.2, 1.5, 1.4]`
-ms, with a 1.3 ms median and 1.2/1.6 ms minimum/maximum.
-
-Compared with `0.11.3`, the authored query controls, query-backed fetch
-dependencies, polling state/effect, and native timer/listener cleanup add 2,652
-raw / 913 aggregate gzip session bytes. The prior 0.8 ms median and 0.7/1.0 ms
-range do not overlap, so the measured 0.5 ms median increase is disclosed. No
-compiler or browser-runtime source changed, and `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript.
-
-## 0.11.3 Project Optimistic Mutation
-
-Measured 2026-08-22 on macOS arm64 with Node 25.6.1 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.172. `RUNS=21 npm run benchmark:project-navigation` retains the same
-fetch-complete list-to-detail interval; the required application journey
-separately executes optimistic failure, rollback, retry, and success.
-
-The two-route session uses 15 unique JavaScript files totaling 56,318 raw /
-21,211 aggregate gzip bytes. Navigation samples are
-`[0.7, 0.7, 0.8, 0.8, 0.9, 0.7, 0.8, 0.8, 0.8, 0.8, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 0.9, 0.7]`
-ms, with a 0.8 ms median and 0.7/1.0 ms minimum/maximum.
-
-Compared with `0.11.2`, the authored mutation status/error state, conditional
-UI, and async handler add 582 raw / 3 aggregate gzip session bytes. The prior
-0.9 ms median and 0.7/1.2 ms range overlap, so no latency change is claimed. No
-compiler or browser-runtime source changed, and `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript.
-
-A clean homepage verification rerun on the same environment recorded
-`[0.9, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.9, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 0.7, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.8, 0.8, 0.9, 0.8, 0.9]`
-ms, with a 0.9 ms median and 0.7/0.9 ms range. It reproduces the release result's
-overlapping range and does not change the no-regression conclusion.
-
-## 0.11.1 Project List/Detail Consistency
-
-Measured 2026-08-22 on macOS arm64 with Node 25.6.1 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.172. `RUNS=21 npm run benchmark:project-navigation` waits for both
-route-owned list data and the layout-owned project record before measuring
-list-to-detail completion across fresh Chrome profiles.
-
-The two-route session uses 16 unique JavaScript files totaling 55,736 raw /
-21,208 aggregate gzip bytes. Navigation samples are
-`[1.0, 0.7, 0.7, 1.0, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.8, 0.9, 0.8, 0.9, 0.9, 1.2, 0.8, 0.9, 1.1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.8, 0.8]`
-ms, with a 0.9 ms median and 0.7/1.2 ms minimum/maximum.
-
-Compared with `0.11.0`, the authored shared record effect, list/detail outputs,
-and mutation handler add 966 raw / 445 aggregate gzip session bytes. The prior
-0.8 ms median and 0.6/1.3 ms range overlap, so no latency change is claimed.
-No compiler or browser-runtime source changed, and `/help` remains 0 B
-JavaScript.
-
-## 0.11.0 Project Owned Fetch Lifecycle
-
-Measured 2026-08-22 on macOS arm64 with Node 25.6.1 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.172. `RUNS=21 npm run benchmark:project-navigation` uses fresh Chrome
-profiles, waits for the initial project fetch and persisted workspace update,
-then measures list-to-detail completion including route-effect cancellation.
-
-The two-route session uses 15 unique JavaScript files totaling 54,770 raw /
-20,763 aggregate gzip bytes. Navigation samples are
-`[1.1, 0.8, 0.7, 0.8, 0.7, 0.8, 0.8, 0.7, 0.7, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.7, 0.8, 0.7, 1.3, 0.8, 0.8, 0.6, 0.9, 0.9]`
-ms, with a 0.8 ms median and 0.6/1.3 ms minimum/maximum.
-
-Compared with the `0.10.3` release, the authored fetch effect, loading/error
-conditions, and refetch state add 1,208 raw / 440 aggregate gzip session bytes.
-`/help` remains 0 B JavaScript. The measured interval is unchanged, but the new
-fetch-completion prerequisite makes this an acceptance-safe no-regression check,
-not a latency improvement claim. No compiler or browser-runtime source changed.
-
-## 0.10.3 Project Persistence Recipe
-
-Measured 2026-08-22 on macOS arm64 with Node 25.6.1 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.172. `RUNS=21 npm run benchmark:project-navigation` uses fresh Chrome
-profiles and exact extensionless application routes. Every accepted sample
-updates workspace state, verifies layout identity and persisted state, then
-measures list-to-detail completion.
-
-The 0.10.2 release baseline and 0.10.3 candidate were measured with the same
-21-profile timing protocol and host; the candidate additionally verifies its
-persistence write before timing:
-
-| Revision | Session JS raw/gzip | Navigation median | Min/max |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|
-| `0.10.2` | 46,418 / 17,045 B | 1.9 ms | 1.3 / 5.5 ms |
-| `0.10.3` candidate | 53,562 / 20,323 B | 1.5 ms | 1.3 / 5.6 ms |
-
-Baseline samples:
-`[1.3, 1.8, 1.6, 1.9, 1.3, 1.3, 1.9, 5.1, 1.7, 1.4, 1.9, 5.0, 4.7, 1.9, 1.7, 5.5, 2.2, 1.7, 1.5, 2.0, 5.2]`.
-
-Candidate samples:
-`[2.6, 1.5, 1.8, 1.3, 1.5, 1.4, 1.7, 1.3, 1.5, 1.5, 1.9, 1.7, 1.6, 5.6, 1.5, 1.6, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 1.5, 1.6]`.
-
-The +7,144 raw / +3,278 aggregate gzip bytes are the measured cost of two
-authored layout effects, their route-owned entries, and one native clear
-handler. The median changes from 1.9 to 1.5 ms with overlapping ranges, so no
-latency improvement or regression is claimed. No compiler or browser-runtime
-source changed. `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript, so unused routes pay no
-persistence cost.
-
-## 0.10.2 Project Shared-Layout Navigation
-
-Measured 2026-08-22 on macOS arm64 with Node 25.6.1 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.172. `npm run benchmark:project-navigation` builds the tracked
-project application, updates the layout-owned workspace state, and measures
-list-to-detail completion across seven fresh Chrome profiles. Every accepted
-sample verifies retained layout identity and the shared workspace value before
-reporting timing.
-
-The two-route session uses 10 unique JavaScript files totaling 46,418 raw /
-17,045 aggregate gzip bytes. Navigation samples are
-`[2.3, 6.5, 1.4, 1.3, 5.1, 1.3, 4.0]` ms, with a 2.3 ms median and 1.3/6.5 ms
-minimum/maximum. Both routes use the existing shared runtime family;
-`workspace` has layout lifetime while summary, collection, filter, conditional,
-saved-filter, row, and detail-draft states retain route lifetime. No compiler or
-browser runtime source changed, so no revision-to-revision performance claim is
-made.
-
-## 0.10.1 Project State Scale
-
-Measured 2026-08-22 on macOS arm64 with Node 25.6.1 and Chrome
-151.0.7922.172. `npm run benchmark:project-state` generates 1/8/32-state pages,
-requires a clean `v0.10.0` checkout through `BASELINE_ROOT`, and verifies that
-baseline and candidate deploy output is byte-identical before timing seven fresh
-headless Chrome processes per scale. The shared deploy contains 10 files,
-18,780 bytes, and digest
-`3f83712254d95f1cf59c5034f363ea906406efa1bd9539f3bb8b9a0d54a3fdc5`.
-
-| States / derived dependency edges | JavaScript raw / gzip | Commit runs (ms) | Median |
-|---:|---:|---|---:|
-| 1 / 0 | 768 / 441 B | 0.4, 0.4, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.6, 0.6 | 0.5 ms |
-| 8 / 8 | 10,935 / 4,789 B | 0.6, 0.7, 0.6, 0.6, 0.7, 0.6, 0.6 | 0.6 ms |
-| 32 / 32 | 11,341 / 4,841 B | 0.8, 0.8, 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, 1.0, 1.0 | 0.9 ms |
-
-The 1-state command-only page needs only the existing command runtime. The
-larger pages reuse the existing binding, serialization, style, and command
-runtime modules. No normalized-state runtime, new runtime family, or generic
-rerender path is added.
-
-## 0.9 Shared State And Actions
-
-Measured 2026-08-19 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome 142.0.7444.175. Baseline `abe87ceafbf70ed8eb2618976e2d1e18c378126f` and the candidate built identical final Context/Zustand cart source.
-
-| Fixture | Deploy files | Baseline and candidate JS raw / gzip | Baseline and candidate digest |
-|---|---:|---:|---|
-| Context cart | 18 | 29,951 / 13,065 B | `66897dce8fffd9e6bfb8b6a65ffba922a9f19d47dbb12c2a613dfb4b5685ee93` |
-| Zustand cart | 18 | 30,291 / 13,193 B | `9c157adc2ff9afef1c282d50cecf77f6c0d8be2251d996298155ffb396e50211` |
-
-The maintained Worker/effect graph also remains byte-identical at 907 raw / 477 gzip B for the Worker and 13,786 raw / 5,931 gzip B for the window graph. One warm-up and seven clean builds measured `[651.6,643.9,596.7,631.5,613.3,634.0,555.0]` for the baseline and `[456.6,441.3,450.2,461.8,445.7,466.8,457.5]` for the final candidate, with medians 631.5 and 456.6 ms. Targets ran sequentially at different times rather than interleaved, so this is only an artifact-size and build-completion diagnostic, not a timing comparison or claim. Required Chrome proves same-turn updates, dependency cleanup, navigation persistence, and exact layout disposal for both source models; static siblings remain zero JavaScript.
-
-## 0.9 Resource Lifecycle Evidence
-
-Measured 2026-08-19 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome 142.0.7444.175. Required-Chrome journeys execute terminal async acquisition/discard/late resolution, WebSocket dependency replacement/navigation release/stale callbacks, and package-backed effect cleanup. These are correctness journeys, not browser timing benchmarks.
-
-| Fixture graph | JavaScript raw / aggregate gzip | Static sibling |
-|---|---:|---:|
-| E2B-shaped terminal | 2,634 / 1,495 B | 0 B |
-| Route WebSocket with navigation | 15,872 / 7,163 B | 0 B |
-| Package-owned effect | 3,562,795 / 1,025,300 B | 0 B |
-
-No resource runtime, registry, or shared capability bytes were added. The package graph intentionally bundles TypeScript as isolation evidence; it is not a recommended payload and creates no package resource handle.
-
-The maintained Worker/effect benchmark remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B for the Worker graph and 13,786 raw / 5,931 gzip B for the window graph. One warm-up and seven final-candidate builds measured `[686.6,606.6,707.7,615.3,512.8,504.2,536.7]`, median 606.6 ms. This is a same-target completion diagnostic, not a revision comparison or timing claim.
-
-## 0.9 Component Object Properties
-
-Measured 2026-08-19 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome 142.0.7444.175. The WorkLedger-derived route emits 11 JavaScript files totaling 37,302 raw / 14,083 aggregate gzip B; its static sibling emits zero JavaScript. The route composes existing binding, list, native-handler, and effect families. No runtime family, browser component function, field state, or shared browser bytes were added.
-
-Required Chrome proves three repeated/conditional owners, selected array `Object.is` effect suppression, keyed identity, exact replacement cleanup/setup, conditional release/remount, and idempotent disposal. The maintained Worker/effect graph remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B for Worker and 13,786 raw / 5,931 gzip B for window output. One warm-up and seven same-target completion builds measured `[1162.6,1505.3,1140.8,938.0,758.9,753.8,717.3]`, median 938.0 ms; no comparative timing claim is made.
-
-## 0.9 Semantic Compression
-
-Measured 2026-08-19 on Linux x64 with Node 24.14.0 and Chrome 142.0.7444.175. The first 06B deletion replaces duplicated object-property and setter-callback compiler helper materialization with one internal function. Core semantic source falls from 5,296 to 5,271 lines. It adds no pass, IR kind, runtime concept, accepted source, or browser bytes.
-
-The WorkLedger deploy remains 13 files with digest `31886797161a33150afb3bcbf697545afd9d2041a4968decd33146e68d4b7595` and 37,302 raw / 14,083 aggregate gzip JavaScript bytes. The array-prop effect-sync deploy remains 10 files with digest `5e3bd8413e3d42c54e5c50d7098aa5c383e73846f7ad80201c663eae92393ec5` and 21,172 raw / 8,251 aggregate gzip JavaScript bytes.
-
-The maintained Worker/effect graph remains 907 raw / 477 gzip B for Worker and 13,786 raw / 5,931 gzip B for window output. One warm-up and seven same-target completion builds measured `[439.4,438.7,438.6,464.9,491.6,479.7,444.7]`, median 444.7 ms. No comparative timing claim is made.
-
-The second independent deletion removes primitive- and array-specific component-body scans in favor of the existing direct serializable state initializer lookup. Core semantic source falls another 7 lines to 5,264, for 32 lines removed in Session 06B. Parameterized-debounce output remains 13 files, 16,053 raw / 7,735 aggregate gzip JavaScript bytes, and deploy SHA-256 `b7106651c6a619b01a3e98101df4ac68f9262803e6729451ef03ed3971b36dc7`. Array-prop effect-sync output remains unchanged at the values above.
-
-The maintained Worker/effect graph again remains byte-identical. One warm-up and seven same-target completion builds measured `[584.0,521.7,552.6,496.7,481.4,507.7,494.2]`, median 507.7 ms. Host load differs from the first run, so no timing comparison is made.
-
-### 0.9 Final-Proof Candidate Diagnostics
-
-Measured 2026-08-19 on Linux x64, Node 24.14.0, Chrome 142.0.7444.175, and an Intel Core i5-9500. Local benchmark source and raw files remain ignored; accepted medians, artifact values, environment, candidate revision, and deploy digests are recorded in the final-proof audit.
-
-The five-target content application first exposed an 11,348 B Kudzu state-backed disclosure versus 410 B Astro inline JavaScript. Native `<details>/<summary>` preserves accessibility, disabled-JavaScript, native-navigation, and missing-script acceptance while reducing every target's route/session JavaScript to 0 B. Kudzu emits 8,441 total bytes and no deployed JavaScript; Astro emits 8,680 total bytes and no deployed JavaScript.
-
-Five-target runtime and capability matrices each used one warm-up, seven rotating clean builds, and seven fresh rotating Chrome profiles. Kudzu emits 33,831 raw / 13,236 gzip B JavaScript for the stateful matrix versus 193,685 / 60,035 B React, 64,023 / 24,772 B Vue, 40,726 / 15,659 B Svelte, and 195,371 / 61,352 B Astro+React. Median Kudzu scalar, row update, append, effect, and async operations are 0.9, 2.4, 3.2, 1.2, and 0.6 ms. Worker and navigation medians plus limitations are in the final-proof audit.
-
-The completed frozen C2 rerun expands that stateful matrix to immutable object replacement, multi-state derived output, keyed row-local state/effect/ref ownership, filter/restore, conditional cleanup/fresh remount, accessible SVG keyboard state, a static sibling, and blocked/delayed/missing-JavaScript acceptance. Across 21 fresh rotating profiles every target passes all 19 operations and ownership checks. Kudzu emits 43,567 raw / 16,408 gzip B deploy JavaScript and transfers 45,721 B in the session versus 196,089 / 60,661 B and 196,287 B React, 66,620 / 25,624 B and 66,817 B Vue, 44,046 / 16,818 B and 44,243 B Svelte, and 197,771 / 61,994 B and 198,361 B Astro+React. Fresh-process build RSS, deterministic digests, preload graphs, script CPU, and load/journey heap are recorded. Row-local ref resolution, synchronous cleanup, per-list lifecycle gating, shared list-item and ownership-path maps, item-dependency transport gating, structural row fill/ID plans, row-state release cleanup, and boolean-toggle specialization reduce Kudzu's row filter, row restore, and search restore medians from 34.6, 208.6, and 77.5 ms to 12.0, 62.6, and 51.6 ms. Row filter is faster than Vue's 13.3 ms; row restore and search restore are within 3.5% and 1.8% of their nearest comparator medians of 60.5 and 50.7 ms. C2 passes.
-
-The completed C5 rerun records 32 balanced Worker starts, invalidations, listener removals, terminations, and ignored late callbacks after replacement plus 30 mount/dispose cycles for every target, with zero stale mutations and zero final active handles. Kudzu emits 17,639 raw / 8,189 gzip B and transfers 19,402 B for that Worker session versus 193,422 / 60,159 B and 193,607 B React and 195,108 / 61,493 B and 195,685 B Astro+React. Uniform build RSS, deterministic digests, preload graphs, script CPU, load/journey/disposal heap, and active balances are recorded. Chrome reports zero `V8CompileDuration` for most targets, so `ScriptDuration` is the maintained uniform execution measure unless a later trace separates parse cost.
-
-The public commerce fixture prepares generated source and identical assets once per size outside the timed framework interval, then compares Kudzu and Astro with acceptance before timing and rotating cold/warm samples. Its Kudzu adapter now emits only the flattened page props and bounded collection rows actually compiled instead of a 37 MiB nested catalog literal. At 1,000 products and seven rotating runs, Kudzu cold/warm medians are 2,948.9 / 2,964.3 ms and peak RSS is 264,600 KiB versus Astro 3,835.3 / 3,845.0 ms and 408,100 KiB. Kudzu is 23.1% / 22.9% faster and uses 35.2% less peak RSS; it emits 1,011 pages, 10,057,806 B, and digest `468800762dd6977644e9d3f2bf018bd951cf08487fe42f99360d3b55db567cc9`.
-
-At 10,000 products, both targets pass sampled-product acceptance and emit 10,011 pages. Kudzu cold/warm medians are 22,614.0 / 22,150.6 ms versus Astro 23,198.1 / 23,438.2 ms, so Kudzu is 2.5% / 5.5% faster. One-shot CLI builds intern repeated RouteIR descriptors, update validated records in place, spool rendered HTML to staging until runtime families are known, stream the unchanged pretty plan in 64-route batches, and release standalone route plans after serialization; dev, incremental, navigation, and `afterBuild` retain their plans. Peak RSS falls 71.0% from 1,870,904 to 542,484 KiB, 11.4% below Astro's 612,412 KiB, while output remains 96,379,876 B with digest `811234693329ebd61eeceb6cd05e5d52473e5c81972a820253bf1aea664a0910`. The 10,000-route build-time and RSS gates pass.
-
-The final 2026-08-20 completion run passes `npm run check`, all 246 required-Chrome tests, fresh-install package smoke, and the maintained Worker benchmark. The Worker graph is 907 raw / 477 gzip B and the window graph is 14,093 raw / 6,037 gzip B; seven clean builds after one warm-up have a 535.9 ms median. This is a same-target completion diagnostic, not a revision timing claim.
-
-The public `kudzu-based-bench` storefront then received one warm-up and seven alternating clean builds at 100, 1,000, and 10,000 generated products against the preceding `bb7fdc5` commit. Baseline and candidate output is byte-identical at every size. Timing distributions overlap and no build improvement or regression is claimed.
-
-| Products | Pages / files | Output bytes | Baseline median | Candidate median |
-|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| 100 | 111 / 148 | 1,368,823 | 2,767.3 ms | 2,755.4 ms |
-| 1,000 | 1,011 / 1,048 | 10,164,835 | 8,407.7 ms | 8,190.3 ms |

-
-## Historical 0.8.59 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.59 broadens existing compile-time setter-child specialization to one direct parent array-state prop and one direct `set*` setter prop in that prop-derived state shape. It adds no browser runtime code and makes no timing claim.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.58 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.58 adds one narrow keyed-item initializer descriptor to the existing complex row-state path. Routes without that descriptor, including static siblings, retain their existing capability output. This release makes no timing claim.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.57 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.57 broadens an existing compiler proof from direct primitive parent state to direct JSON-safe plain-object parent state for specialized child draft initialization. It adds no browser runtime code and makes no timing claim.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.56 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.56 avoids unaffected source compilation and build-time JSX execution during development. The focused two-route correctness fixture recompiles two of four modules and rerenders one of two pages after a route-owned helper edit; this is a work-reduction assertion, not a timing claim.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.55 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.55 replaces site-wide runtime specialization with deterministic route or navigation-group capability families. Unrelated standalone capabilities no longer change another route's loaded runtime bytes or cache URL; no new timing claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.54 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.54 retains esbuild output metadata and writes one compiler-scratch artifact report after bundling. Deploy runtime behavior and output selection are unchanged, and no new performance claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.53 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.53 removes unrelated source stylesheet links from route HTML and reuses shared layout links during enhanced navigation. Static routes add no JavaScript, and no new performance claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.52 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.52 moves proven effect-private mutable refs from component scope into existing setup-invocation closures. The refs add no serialized route scope, shared runtime, or static-sibling JavaScript; no new performance claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.51 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.51 broadens compiler-only package-reference routing into existing owned effect ESM and bundling. Static siblings and routes without the effect retain zero package bytes; no new performance claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.50 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.50 changes compiler and build-time shared-state metadata while retaining existing RouteIR state ownership, action handler output, and browser runtimes. No new performance claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.49 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.49 broadens compiler-only setter-callback validation to direct child fan-out while retaining the existing command descriptors and browser runtimes. No new performance claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.48 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.48 broadens compiler-only setter-callback validation to multiple direct intrinsic handlers while retaining the existing command descriptors and browser runtimes. No new performance claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.47 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.47 changes compiler-only specialized child initialization and retains existing parent/child state ownership, handler capabilities, and browser runtimes. No new performance claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.46 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.46 changes compiler-only Context Provider scratch and retains the same concrete Notes state operations, RouteIR signals, runtime modules, and static sibling output. No new performance claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.45 Optimization Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.45 adds the plain TypeScript fast path and maintained paired source-scale runner described above. It changes compiler scratch only: the measured deploy graph is byte-identical to `v0.8.44`, and no browser runtime or public API changed.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.44 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.44 changes compiler-only naming for action-private Context state and setters. The maintained Context browser fixture retains the same emitted concrete state operations and CRUD behavior while a same-named consumer local remains ordinary static content. No browser runtime module or public API changed, and no new performance claim is made.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.43 Release Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.43 extends compiler-only callback/ref specialization from two to three direct component boundaries. The maintained browser fixture retains the same parent state operations, child state/effect/ref ownership, conditional cleanup, and static zero-JavaScript sibling while the added forwarding component is absent from emitted JavaScript. No browser runtime module or public API changed, and no new performance ranking is claimed.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.42 Optimization Snapshot
-
-Kudzu 0.8.42 retains the tracked 0.8.41 runtime and six-route commerce matrices below and adds two focused external-fixture optimizations. Those focused samples compare Kudzu before and after the patch; they do not establish a current cross-framework ranking.
-
-The maintained external 1,000-product fixture exposed 1,011 byte-identical native route entries and 1,011 byte-identical effect route entries. A three-run check against clean `v0.8.41` produced:
-
-| Target | Cold build | Warm build | Output |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|
-| `v0.8.41` | 13,866 ms | 13,560 ms | 10.48 MB |
-| Route-entry sharing candidate | 13,203 ms | 13,087 ms | 9.53 MB |
-
-Cold build is 4.8% lower, warm build is 3.5% lower, and output is 9.1% smaller in this sample. A 100-product artifact inspection reduced 101 native and 101 effect route files to three native and five effect files because only byte-identical generated sources share paths. Single-route URLs and nonidentical entries retain their existing route paths. A seven-run alternating measurement is still required before making a stronger build-time attribution claim.
-
-The external form fixture then replaced effect-delayed query carry with direct read-only query bindings on hidden `value` and `disabled` properties. Five Slow 4G sessions measured readiness at 348 ms versus the prior 783 ms, a 55.6% reduction. This is a narrow critical form path, not a general inline-capability policy; writable search state, handlers, effects, conditions, lists, unrelated bindings, and nonmatching markup retain the existing parameter capability path.
-
-A static-catalog same-document navigation experiment was rejected. After compressing concrete route records to remove the first implementation's payload blowup, three Slow 4G sessions still favored native document navigation:
-
-| Navigation | Detail | Back | Session transfer | Degraded capabilities |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| Native document | 314 ms | 107 ms | 322.2 KB | 15/18 |
-| Enhanced candidate | 575 ms | 297 ms | 511 KB | 12/18 |
-
-The static `getStaticPaths()` pattern expansion was removed. Existing exact and `runtimeParams` enhanced-navigation groups are unchanged, and native document navigation remains the default.
-
-## Maintained 0.8.41 Cross-Framework Snapshot
-
-Measured UTC 2026-08-12 on the Intel Core i5-9500 Linux x64 host, Node 24.14.0, and Chrome 142.0.7444.175. The tracked runtime matrix used one warm-up, seven interleaved clean builds, and seven rotating fresh Chrome profiles. Every correctness, accessibility, identity, effect-cleanup, and browser-error gate passed. Kudzu emits complete initial HTML while React, Vue, and Svelte start from client-rendered shells, so initial delivery and artifact totals are not architecture-equivalent.
-
-| Runtime matrix target | Build median | HTML raw / gzip B | JS raw / gzip B | Total raw / gzip B | Complete initial DOM |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| Kudzu `0.8.41` release tree | 1,475.480 ms | 179,388 / 37,008 | 33,575 / 12,928 | 212,963 / 49,936 | 532.9 ms |
-| React 19.2.8 + Vite 8.1.5 | 856.231 ms | 282 / 219 | 193,685 / 60,043 | 193,967 / 60,262 | 510.6 ms |
-| Vue 3.5.40 + Vite 8.1.5 | 1,053.062 ms | 281 / 221 | 64,023 / 24,772 | 64,304 / 24,993 | 357.6 ms |

-Raw runtime arrays, quartiles, checkout metadata, source hash, and validation results are checked in at `benchmarks/runtime-matrix/results/raw.json`. The maintained 2,000-row keyed run used one warm-up, seven clean builds, and seven fresh Chrome profiles: build 901.4 ms, append 14.7 ms, filter 25.4 ms, restore 126.2 ms, reverse 25.1 ms, and JavaScript 28,450 B raw / 11,036 B gzip. A requested 21-profile keyed run exceeded the 600-second limit and produced no result.
-
-The maintained Worker benchmark recorded a 1,823.2 ms build median, 907 B raw / 477 B gzip Worker graph, and 12,148 B raw / 5,411 B gzip aggregate window graph. The tracked six-route commerce sources used one warm-up and seven rotating clean builds:

-
-The commerce targets share initial content and behavior contracts but use materially different architectures. The browser suite timed out in Kudzu's existing in-flight rejection-navigation wait before cross-target sampling, so no commerce browser timing is claimed.

-The FIRE-derived callback/ref fixture now forwards both a direct setter adapter and a simple state callback through one imported presentation component. Browser checks preserve parent state updates, child-local state/effects/IDs, parent ref resolution, conditional cleanup, fresh remount, and a zero-JavaScript static sibling. ComponentAnalysis retains the same parent SignalIR on each nested specialization. A third callback-carrying boundary remains rejected. No browser runtime, callback registry, component function, route artifact, or deploy byte was added.

The baseline was clean tag `v0.8.39` at `090b42124d596260bdd6a0814c014e5b906dc0eb`. The focused implementation and migration checks had SHA-256 `c097c10e786ff5d09537b52384c1bf3d32cb46998ef62125c23dda3355b62277`, produced by:

-
-The complete 154-page repository build used one warm-up and 21 alternating clean fresh-process samples. Both targets emit 175 files and byte-identical `kudzu-plan.json` (`be842101f08aab2d8b3af5daa3ed0539a6a08ea8c3cba15cd25f3a36d53ef61f`). The only deploy difference is the updated public explanation in `docs/index.html`: candidate output adds 98 raw bytes and 31 aggregate gzip bytes. Compiler, effect runtime, route JavaScript, and all other artifacts are byte-identical.

-
-The candidate unpaired median is 3.48% higher and the round-paired candidate-minus-baseline median is +103.031 ms. Peak RSS is 1.92% higher. Timing ranges overlap substantially and both changes remain below the 5% material-regression threshold, so no material build or memory regression is established.

-The tracked runtime matrix then ran one warm-up, seven interleaved clean builds, and seven rotating fresh Chrome profiles for matched Kudzu, React/Vite, Vue/Vite, and Svelte/Vite workloads. Every correctness, accessibility, identity, effect-cleanup, and browser-error gate passed. This matrix uses a primitive effect dependency, so it is broad regression evidence rather than a property-dependency-specific framework claim.

-Kudzu commerce output is 4.54x-16.86x smaller in aggregate gzip than the compared hydrated/client-navigation outputs. React's clean build median is 3.9% lower than Kudzu's on this small fixture; Kudzu builds 5.4x-8.1x faster than the three full static-export frameworks. The full commerce browser command was attempted twice, but both runs timed out in Kudzu's existing in-flight rejection-navigation wait before cross-target browser sampling; no commerce browser timing result is claimed. The complete runtime matrix browser run above passed. Property-path effects reuse existing DerivedIR, source subscriptions, expression evaluation, and `Object.is`; no runtime module or field-signal mechanism was added.

-RouteIR v1 now validates concrete state and parameter IDs, commands, native/effect captures, dependencies, reactive descriptors, conditions, keyed-list identity and ownership, marker fields, and strict JSON safety. RouteBuildRecord validates those references before artifact selection, while CapabilityIR validates standalone implications and exact projection from its route records before codegen. Repeated checks of the same immutable in-memory contracts are cached by identity. No runtime source, accepted TSX, deploy artifact, or browser behavior changes.

-The maintained 100-importer fixture used one warm-up and seven alternating fresh-process samples. Both targets retain 103 parse misses, 103 export-summary misses, and 100 importer-local clones. ModuleIR and ComponentAnalysis v2 intentionally change the serialized compiler graph, so the previous equal-digest gate correctly rejects direct v1/v2 comparison: normalized result size changes from 382,603 B to 447,977 B and source-result size changes from 395,346 B to 460,720 B. The additional 65,374 B is deterministic structural slot, signal, symbol, and ownership metadata in compiler scratch; it is not deployed browser JavaScript.

-## P0.9 Semantic State Operations

-```
-
-The maintained 100-importer fixture used three warm-ups and 21 alternating fresh-process samples. P0.9 keeps the existing direct command fast path first and invokes whole-handler semantic analysis only after direct specialization fails. Baseline and candidate produced the same normalized 382,603-byte graph, SHA-256 `8c35b3f6d2c571306bd97c4d51d4af76ca244badd36c57363bf579ef961f41aa`, 395,346-byte source result, and 103 / 103 / 100 parse, summary, and clone counts.

-The candidate's unpaired median is 0.48% lower. Round-paired candidate-minus-baseline differences had a +1.754 ms median with the candidate faster in 10/21 pairs and the baseline faster in 11/21. Timing and peak-RSS ranges overlap, so no material improvement or regression is claimed. An initial implementation that routed every direct handler through whole-handler analysis measured a +12.584 ms paired median and 10.6 MiB higher RSS median; restoring the direct fast path and narrowing the analyzer removed that regression before this final record.

-The four required source forms lower to the same existing command HandlerIR and command-only browser path. Alias/helper forms therefore avoid the native handler module and native runtime they previously required; no command ABI, state batching, ownership, runtime source, or unaffected route artifact changes.

-## P0.8 Stable ModuleSymbol And SiteId
-
-Measured UTC 2026-08-11 on the same Intel Core i5-9500 Linux x64 host with Node 24.14.0. The baseline was clean tag `v0.8.34` at `007fcb6e23c7d5bc742fa37c28388d070da9f598`. The compiler and maintained-check patch had SHA-256 `10ed6beb448b9e86961afab0b798f010932b8a29f98475d41f7bd8cfad04a872`, produced by:

-
-The maintained 100-importer fixture used three warm-ups and 21 alternating fresh-process samples. Because P0.8 intentionally adds source-local `site` metadata, the runner removes only `site` keys for output-equivalence hashing and reports the unmodified source-result size separately. The normalized 382,603-byte graph retained SHA-256 `8c35b3f6d2c571306bd97c4d51d4af76ca244badd36c57363bf579ef961f41aa`; parse and summary misses remained 103 each. Stable symbol traversal removed unnecessary normalization of intermediate barrel modules, reducing importer-local clones from 200 to 100.

-
-The candidate's unpaired median is 0.71% lower. Round-paired candidate-minus-baseline differences had a -2.971 ms median with the candidate faster in 13/21 pairs and the baseline faster in 8/21. This is a small directional improvement, not a material speedup claim. Peak RSS differs by 0.9 MiB and ranges overlap. The 12,743-byte source-result increase is deterministic SiteId metadata in build scratch, not deployed browser JavaScript.
-
-Two measurements before removing intermediate barrel clones showed paired medians of +12.142 ms and +21.954 ms and RSS medians 11.7-12.3 MiB above baseline. Removing those clones reduced the paired median to +4.951 ms; caching repeated ModuleSymbol resolutions produced the final -2.971 ms result. The earlier measurements are not the final candidate record.

-## P0.7 Parsed Module And Export Summary Cache
-
-Measured UTC 2026-08-11 on an Intel Core i5-9500 with 6 physical/logical cores, 31.2 GiB RAM, Linux 6.17.0-19-generic x64, Node 24.14.0, and npm 11.9.0. The baseline was clean tag `v0.8.33` at `65c96b13802c73e9c9a109cebbaac88bae7704a7`; both targets used the same installed dependencies. The implementation and maintained benchmark patch had SHA-256 `bca61b37f14c77488c4a35b62856faa6b471dd01081abcb69c47027b3b4615d9`, produced by:

-
-The maintained in-memory fixture has 100 page importers sharing one barrel component and helper, for 103 unique modules. Each sample starts a fresh Node process; fixture generation and result hashing occur outside timing. Three warm-ups followed by 21 alternating samples compiled every reachable module. The candidate parsed and summarized each unique module once and created 200 importer-local normalization clones. Baseline and candidate produced the same 382,603-byte serialized source-result graph with SHA-256 `8c35b3f6d2c571306bd97c4d51d4af76ca244badd36c57363bf579ef961f41aa`.

-
-Both timing arrays drifted upward during the run, making their raw 8.29% median difference unsuitable as an improvement claim. Round-paired candidate-minus-baseline differences had a +33.324 ms median, with the candidate faster in 9/21 pairs and the baseline faster in 12/21. Peak RSS ranges also overlap. This establishes bounded parse/summary work and identical compiler output with no material performance conclusion on this machine; it does not establish a speedup.

-### Current Cross-Framework Whole-Build Context
-
-Measured again after the P0.8 optimization on 2026-08-11. This separate local check is not a parsed-module-cache comparison or maintained ranking. The external `/tmp/opencode/kudzu-dependency-benchmark` workspace is not Git-provenanced. It used Kudzu 0.8.35, React 19.2.7, Vue 3.5.40, Svelte 5.56.6, Astro 7.1.1, and Vite 7.3.6. Every target emitted matched initial device content, and fresh headless Chrome runs passed detail fetch, list filters, empty state, superseded async command, stale-result rejection, and HTTP error behavior. One warm-up preceded seven rotated clean builds. React, Vue, and Svelte perform separate client, SSR, and prerender builds; Astro uses its native build and an application-specific imperative script; Kudzu runs one static compiler build, so build stages and artifact architectures differ.

-```bash

-node /tmp/opencode/kudzu-dependency-benchmark/device-verify.mjs
-```
-
-Kudzu's build median was 69.8% lower than React SSR, 66.5% lower than Vue SSR, 75.6% lower than Svelte SSR, and 49.2% lower than Astro native in this protocol. Kudzu shipped 80.1%, 55.9%, and 23.1% less JavaScript gzip than React, Vue, and Svelte respectively. Astro shipped only 883 B JavaScript gzip and a 3,307 B single-file output, so Kudzu's JavaScript gzip was 13.9 times and total output 11.0 times larger than Astro's direct imperative implementation. Kudzu's larger HTML carries static content and capability descriptors; its 1,324 B gzip was close to Astro's 1,229 B but larger than the hydrated SSR controls' 562-582 B HTML.
-
-The cross-framework result provides current whole-build and deploy-artifact context only. It does not show that Kudzu's ModuleSymbol cache is faster than another framework's module cache: this fixture has one application module per target and exposes no equivalent parser/cache counters. A cache-specific cross-framework claim would require matched 100-importer module graphs, equivalent output, equal cold/warm policy, and framework-specific cache instrumentation. The browser run verifies behavior rather than interaction latency; the maintained larger keyed benchmarks below remain the runtime-performance evidence.
-
-## 2026-08-11 React, Vue, And Svelte Check
-
-This is a current local check, not a maintained framework ranking. The external `/home/kft/Documents/etc/demo/benchmarks` workspace is not Git-provenanced, but its matched fixtures, validators, dependencies, and raw result files were present and reused without source changes. The Kudzu target used this P0.5 candidate with `0.8.31` package metadata; controls were React 19.2.7, Vue 3.5.40, Svelte 5.56.6, and Vite 7.3.6 on Node 24.14.0, Linux x64, and Chrome 142.0.7444.175.
-
-Each fixture received one warm-up and seven rotating clean production builds. Seven fresh headless Chrome profiles per target validated exact row count/order/text, retained and released DOM identity, fresh state on re-entry, and effect lifecycle counts before recording MutationObserver completion. React, Vue, and Svelte are CSR controls with no initial rows in HTML; Kudzu emits all initial rows, so total deploy size is reported but is not architecture-equivalent.
-
-| Fixture | Framework | Build median | Initial JS gzip | Total deploy raw |

-
-Kudzu's build medians were 23% to 58% lower and its initial JavaScript gzip was 21% to 86% lower than the three CSR controls. A separate seven-run GNU `time` check on the keyed-row fixture measured median build peak RSS of 157.4 MiB for Kudzu, 209.2 MiB for Svelte, 208.0 MiB for Vue, and 281.3 MiB for React.
-
-| Fixture operation | Kudzu | Svelte | Vue | React |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| Row edit | 5.6 ms | 4.9 ms | 5.7 ms | 11.9 ms |
-| Reverse 1,000 rows | 28.2 ms | 94.3 ms | 23.2 ms | 51.8 ms |
-| Remove row | 5.0 ms | 8.7 ms | 7.6 ms | 15.6 ms |
-| Re-add row | 7.7 ms | 16.8 ms | 8.1 ms | 18.5 ms |
-| Effect dependency update | 4.8 ms | 9.8 ms | 10.0 ms | 14.9 ms |
-| Effect-unrelated update | 2.8 ms | 7.3 ms | 2.7 ms | 10.1 ms |
-| Reverse effect rows | 11.7 ms | 71.5 ms | 13.4 ms | 29.5 ms |
-| Nested child update | 2.7 ms | 3.4 ms | 6.5 ms | 12.0 ms |

-| Remove parent | 1.1 ms | 1.5 ms | 3.4 ms | 6.7 ms |
-
-These initial browser runs were grouped by target and some seven-sample ranges were wide, so they were treated as directional rather than a framework ranking. The candidate then removed repeated keyed-root lookups and redundant removal-map reconstruction across the generic, nested, and reducer list paths, and merged binding/condition state dispatch into one committer. The keyed-row JavaScript graph decreased from 26,962 B raw / 10,508 B gzip to 26,768 B raw / 10,485 B gzip.
-
-A 31-round rotating follow-up ran fresh Chrome profiles in alternating and periodically reversed framework order. Its full-list completion predicate retained the exact 1,000-row content and identity checks inside timing:
-
-| Framework | Edit | Reverse | Remove | Re-add |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| Kudzu | 5.9 ms | 23.4 ms | 5.6 ms | 8.0 ms |
-| Svelte | 5.5 ms | 97.0 ms | 9.2 ms | 14.7 ms |
-| Vue | 6.8 ms | 26.6 ms | 9.6 ms | 10.0 ms |
-| React | 14.7 ms | 51.0 ms | 20.2 ms | 14.3 ms |
-
-Paired sign tests established Kudzu's reverse, remove, and re-add advantage over Vue at 6.0 ms (`p=0.00143`), 4.1 ms (`p=0.000192`), and 2.1 ms (`p=0.0107`) median differences. Kudzu also beat Svelte for those operations in 31/31, 28/31, and 27/31 rounds. The full-list edit result remained dominated by the validator: Kudzu versus Svelte had a 0.8 ms directional loss with `p=0.281`, while Kudzu versus Vue had a 0.4 ms directional gain with `p=0.720`.
-
-A final edit-only protocol kept complete 1,000-row correctness validation after each measurement but used only the edited row's class/input identity as the completion signal. Over 31 rotating rounds, Kudzu measured 0.7 ms versus Svelte 1.4 ms and Vue 1.8 ms. Paired differences favored Kudzu by 0.7 ms in 30/31 rounds (`p=2.98e-8`) versus Svelte and by 0.9 ms in 31/31 rounds (`p=9.31e-10`) versus Vue. Complete seven-run suite samples remain in the external workspace's `benchmarks/results/*-current.{json,md}` files; rotating raw samples are temporary measurement artifacts and this section remains a current local check rather than a maintained general ranking.

-## 0.8.32 Staged Output Emission
-
-Measured UTC 2026-08-11 on an Intel Core i5-9500 with 6 cores, Linux 6.17.0-19-generic, Node 24.14.0, and npm 11.9.0. The baseline was clean tag `v0.8.31` at `06b436e`; baseline and the pre-release P0.5 candidate used the same installed dependencies and the public 1,000-product storefront fixture at `f2d5be1a516c539e30f7125f6870d42b1dd02ecd`. The later same-root lock and interrupted-backup recovery hardening was correctness-tested but not included in this timing array.
-
-One warm-up followed by 21 alternating replacement builds preserved the preceding output so the candidate exercised staging, promotion, and prior-tree removal on every run. Generated `.kudzu` scratch was cleaned outside timing. The candidate folds collision validation into one public copy traversal and writes the already-rendered route HTML in bounded batches of 64.
-
-| Target | Build median | Output |
-|---|---:|---:|
-| `v0.8.31` | 20,392.7 ms | 3,056 files / 11,137,074 B |
-| P0.5 candidate | 19,229.1 ms | 3,056 files / 11,137,074 B |
-
-The candidate median is 5.71% lower. Every relative artifact path and SHA-256 hash matched, so deploy raw and gzip sizes are unchanged and no browser bytes are added.

-## 0.8.31 Async Native Handler Ownership
-
-Measured UTC 2026-08-10 on Apple M3, 8 logical CPUs, 8 GiB RAM, macOS 26.5.2 / Darwin 25.5.0, Node 25.6.1, npm 11.18.0, and Chrome 151.0.7922.76. The baseline was clean tag `v0.8.30` at `9bb5ce8`; baseline and candidate used the same installed dependencies.
-
-The implementation and maintained-check patch over `v0.8.30` had SHA-256 `c67956b67b558052885dd48a9dbe35f238b8ce042876537952355aa05b8cdc10`, produced by:

-```
-
-The maintained browser runner built the same `test/fixtures/native-bubbling` source with each framework root. After one warm-up, 21 alternating headless Chrome processes dispatched 5,000 synchronous clicks through the real DOM listener, handler-module lookup, generated handler, state context, and queued-flush scheduling path. Both medians were 6.4 ms; the 6.1-6.8 ms baseline and 6.2-6.7 ms candidate ranges overlap, so no dispatch regression is established.

-```
-
-The maintained `native-bubbling` fixture retained the same eight JavaScript paths. The browser runner hashes every file and permits only the ownership-bearing native and capture-deserialization runtimes to change:
-
-| Artifact | 0.8.30 raw / gzip | 0.8.31 raw / gzip | Delta raw / gzip |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|
-| `assets/kudzu-native.js` | 1,528 B / 842 B | 1,715 B / 925 B | +187 B / +83 B |
-| `assets/kudzu-serialization.js` | 675 B / 381 B | 697 B / 392 B | +22 B / +11 B |
-| Complete native fixture JavaScript | 13,629 B / 6,177 B | 13,838 B / 6,271 B | +209 B / +94 B |
-
-The timing is a focused synchronous event-dispatch measurement, not a general interaction or asynchronous task benchmark. The runtime does not cancel application promises or arbitrary browser API work; it invalidates Kudzu state writes, queued commits, and captured ref resolution after the listener's DOM ownership is released.
-
-## 0.8.26 Goal B Benchmark Hardening
-
-The checked-in `benchmark:commerce` runner now requires byte-identical candidate output by default. `EXPECTED_CHANGES` is reserved for explicitly recorded historical comparisons; the route-entry reuse path also has a focused transform-count regression test in the ordinary suite.
-
-After that runner update, seven alternating `v0.8.24` versus current-tree builds on the same Linux machine verified 1,011 pages, 3,056 files, and no changed deploy hash. The 14,766.5 ms and 12,202.4 ms medians validate the maintained runner and released-tree direction, but are not attributed to route-entry reuse alone because the compared revisions include all `0.8.25` compiler-boundary changes.

-
-## 0.8.25 Route Entry Transform Reuse
-
-Measured UTC 2026-08-10 on an Intel Core i5-9500 with 6 cores, Linux 6.17.0-19-generic, Node 24.14.0, and npm 11.9.0. The public 1,000-product storefront fixture at `f2d5be1` generated 1,011 pages against the `0.8.24` tree plus the same compiler-boundary safety changes in both targets.
-
-One warm-up followed by seven alternating clean builds compared repeated esbuild transformation with a build-local exact-source result map used only by generated native, parameter, and effect route entries. The median decreased from 13,851.0 ms to 12,581.4 ms, a 9.17% improvement. Every emitted path and SHA-256 hash matched. The catalog was generated once before timing; `dist` and `.kudzu` cleanup and manifest hashing remained outside timing.
-
-```text
-repeated transform: [13437.4,13851.0,13844.9,13440.8,13906.1,14310.0,14901.0]
-exact-source reuse: [12480.2,12826.9,12777.9,12615.9,11869.7,12121.3,12581.4]
-```
-
-The map lasts for one build and keys the complete generated source after route-relative URLs are resolved. It is not a persistent or generalized JavaScript transform cache. The result measures the large repeated-route fixture on this Linux machine and is not directly comparable to the Apple M3 `0.8.24` build medians below.
-
-## 0.8.24 Measured Goal B Optimizations
-
-Measured UTC 2026-08-09 on Apple M3, 8 logical CPUs, 8 GiB RAM, macOS 26.5.2 / Darwin 25.5.0, Node 25.6.1, npm 11.18.0, and Chrome 151.0.7922.76. Baseline tag `v0.8.23` at `39a065b` and the `0.8.24` candidate used the same local volume and dependencies.
-
-The implementation and maintained benchmark patch over `v0.8.23` had SHA-256 `c6c39b0c64f7a5d3271cb9f0286a4c6787aaf7e293744457629e6ea249e9ef76`, produced by:

-```
-
-Twenty-one fresh profiles measured 2,000-row restoration at 21.1 ms versus 26.3 ms, a 19.77% improvement. Twenty-one alternating clean builds of the external 1,000-product fixture measured 6,266.5 ms versus 6,684.7 ms, a 6.26% improvement. The keyed route adds 127 B raw / 35 B aggregate gzip JavaScript; the normalization optimization adds no output bytes. Complete methodology, arrays, artifacts, correctness checks, and limitations are in [Goal B Measurement Details](#goal-b-measurement-details).
-
-Before release-content updates, the complete site plus `lists`, `keyed-row-hooks`, and `navigation` retained identical deploy file lists. Only `assets/kudzu-list.js` changed; every other deploy file was byte-identical. Their normalized `.kudzu` trees were identical to `v0.8.23`.
-
-## 0.8.23 Source Compiler Boundary
-
-Measured UTC 2026-08-09 on Apple M3, 8 logical CPUs, 8 GiB RAM, macOS 26.5.2 / Darwin 25.5.0, Node 22.23.2, and npm 11.18.0. Baseline tag `v0.8.22` at `60b9bff` and the current `0.8.23` compiler candidate used the same local volume and identical installed dependencies.
-
-The candidate implementation patch over `v0.8.22` had SHA-256 `cfa25426f630f3d5d75a788f9ef8c63c48531c74ffc58727437890c47c511945`, produced by:

-```
-
-Both targets received one warm-up followed by seven clean `worker-effects` production builds in alternating round-robin order. Cleanup remained outside timing. The ranges overlap; the 0.24% lower candidate median does not establish a material change.
-
-| Target | Build median | Worker raw / gzip | Window raw / gzip |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|
-| 0.8.22 baseline | 287.7 ms | 907 B / 477 B | 12,148 B / 5,411 B |

-```
-
-Before release-content updates, the complete 135-page site and the `bindings`, `keyed-row-hooks`, `effect-dependencies`, `worker-effects`, `runtime-params`, `navigation`, `config-authoring`, and `event-package` deploy trees had identical file lists and bytes. Their `.kudzu` trees also matched after replacing only each checkout root in existing source-location strings. The invalid-reducer fixture retained the same source file, line, column, and diagnostic text. `build.mjs` decreased from 3,732 to 744 lines; this source-organization metric is not a runtime performance claim.
-
-## Goal B Measurement Details
-
-Goal B started from clean commit `39a065b4284c74e7bf8ee5e39647ef771f2ba6f6`. On the same Apple M3 environment with Node 22.23.2, the maintained `worker-effects` benchmark measured a 289.9 ms clean-build median, 907 B raw / 477 B gzip Worker graph, and 12,148 B raw / 5,411 B gzip window graph:
-
-```text
-build: [284.3,287.1,293.6,289.9,291.3,286.4,290.7]
-```
-
-After the two candidate optimizations, the same maintained benchmark measured a 286.2 ms median and identical graph sizes. This is a regression check rather than evidence for either optimization:
-
-```text
-build: [286.2,282.1,287.1,286.4,285.4,284.4,287.2]
-```
-
-Chrome 151.0.7922.76 passed the tracked throughput, cadence, bounded-history, stale-write, and 30-cycle ownership checks. The first Node 22 browser attempt returned no Worker data; immediate Node 25 and Node 22 retries passed, so this is recorded as a startup flake rather than a performance result.
-
-The preserved external cross-framework workspace then rebuilt its 1,000-row Kudzu fixture against clean `0.8.23` to locate a possible keyed-list loss. This exploratory harness is not maintained in the repository and its historical framework results were not reused. Seven fresh unthrottled Chrome profiles all passed row visibility, retained identity, removal, and fresh re-add checks:
-
-| Operation | Median | Raw runs |
-|---|---:|---|
-| Edit row 500 | 0.5 ms | 1.1, 0.6, 0.5, 0.5, 0.6, 0.5, 0.5 |
-| Reverse 1,000 rows | 4.0 ms | 4.8, 3.8, 3.8, 4.2, 4.0, 4.1, 3.8 |
-| Remove row 500 | 1.2 ms | 1.5, 1.1, 1.1, 1.3, 1.2, 1.2, 1.2 |
-| Re-add row 500 | 1.3 ms | 2.3, 1.0, 1.3, 1.5, 1.1, 1.2, 1.4 |
-
-That fixture's seven clean builds were `[390.891,389.698,393.034,390.798,389.477,390.258,388.714]` ms for a 390.258 ms median. It emitted 28,243 B raw / 9,245 B aggregate gzip initial JavaScript across eight files and 943,075 B total output across nine files. The absolute build result has no current matched control and does not establish a regression. No browser operation in this exploratory fixture established a material loss.
-
-#### Maintained Keyed Restoration Benchmark
-
-The repository-owned `npm run benchmark:keyed` fixture renders 2,000 keyed rows with row-local state, a reactive slice, and a reactive string filter. Each revision received one clean build warm-up, 21 measured clean builds, and 21 unthrottled fresh Chrome 151.0.7922.76 profiles. In-page `MutationObserver` completion includes the synchronous state commit and terminal DOM mutation. Every run retained row 1000 and its selected state, appended 33 rows beside 1,967 retained rows, filtered to one row, released row 1, restored row 1 with fresh identity/state and a working handler, and retained row 1000 through reversal.
-
-The baseline uses the identical `0.8.24` benchmark harness and fixture copied into a clean `v0.8.23` worktree; only compiler/runtime source differs:
-
-```bash
-git worktree add --detach /tmp/kudzu-0.8.23 v0.8.23
-mkdir -p /tmp/kudzu-0.8.23/test/fixtures/keyed-performance/src/pages
-cp test/keyed-performance.mjs /tmp/kudzu-0.8.23/test/keyed-performance.mjs
-cp test/fixtures/keyed-performance/src/pages/index.tsx /tmp/kudzu-0.8.23/test/fixtures/keyed-performance/src/pages/index.tsx
-ln -s "$PWD/node_modules" /tmp/kudzu-0.8.23/node_modules
-RUNS=21 CHROME_BIN="/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" node /tmp/kudzu-0.8.23/test/keyed-performance.mjs
-RUNS=21 CHROME_BIN="/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" npm run benchmark:keyed
-```
-
-The measured loss was restoration from one retained row to 2,000 rows. The baseline called `mountDom()` separately for 1,999 connected additions. For top-level flat lists, the candidate calls it once on the connected list parent when more than 32 additions are a majority of both the next rows and their parent children. Nested/parent lists, shared containers dominated by unrelated siblings, and small or retained-heavy updates keep per-root mounting. This reduces repeated mount-hook selector traversal without adding a scheduler, cache, tree, or public API.
-
-| Target | Build median | Append 33 | Filter median | Restore median | Reverse median | JavaScript raw / gzip |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
-| `0.8.23` baseline | 263.0 ms | 2.6 ms | 4.6 ms | 26.3 ms | 6.2 ms | 28,308 B / 10,937 B |
-| Goal B candidate | 265.6 ms | 2.7 ms | 4.6 ms | 21.1 ms | 6.1 ms | 28,435 B / 10,972 B |
-
-Restore improved 19.77%, and its 20.4-21.9 ms candidate range did not overlap the 25.7-27.3 ms baseline range. Append, filter, and reverse distributions overlap; no change is claimed. Build distributions overlap; no build improvement is claimed. The deterministic cost is 127 B raw / 35 B aggregate gzip in `kudzu-list.js`.

-#### External 1,000-Product Build
-
-The public [`SimYunSup/kudzu-based-bench`](https://github.com/SimYunSup/kudzu-based-bench) commerce fixture at `f2d5be1` generated 1,000 deterministic products and 1,011 complete Kudzu pages. On the same Apple M3 / Node 25.6.1 machine, clean `0.8.23` and the Goal B candidate received one warm-up and 21 alternating clean builds. Output and `.kudzu` cleanup remained outside timing.
-
-The paired runner generates the catalog once, alternates the two compiler roots, cleans `dist` and `.kudzu` outside timing, compares relative output manifests and hashes, permits only the explicitly configured historical `assets/kudzu-list.js` delta, and restores the external app's package symlink afterward:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/SimYunSup/kudzu-based-bench.git /tmp/kudzu-based-bench
-git -C /tmp/kudzu-based-bench checkout --detach f2d5be1a516c539e30f7125f6870d42b1dd02ecd

-```
-
-`applyNormalizationPasses()` previously called TypeScript's recursive parent-pointer repair after every pass, including validators and no-op passes returning the identical `SourceFile`. Every current pass was audited to use immutable factory updates for structural changes. Repairing only a changed root reduced the build median from 6,684.7 ms to 6,266.5 ms, a 6.26% improvement. Both builds emitted 3,056 files; only `assets/kudzu-list.js` differed because of the independently measured keyed restoration optimization. The normalization change itself adds no browser bytes.

-
-This external fixture is a candidate-finding and paired Kudzu regression benchmark, not a framework leaderboard result. It uses Kudzu-authored source; the catalog is generated once before timing and both revisions run the same complete Kudzu build. Its published cross-framework runs are sequential with only three build samples, and none of those framework numbers are used for this optimization claim. The paired command requires an existing symlink at `apps/shop-kudzu/node_modules/@kudzujs/core`. The external commit's pnpm 10.20 lock cannot install with `--frozen-lockfile`; `--force` accepts the unchanged lock and is a reproducibility limitation, although baseline and candidate use the same resulting dependency graph.

-The complete site `dist` and the `effect-dependencies`, `keyed-effects`, and `worker-effects` fixture output trees had identical file lists and bytes before release-content updates. The Worker graph and every window graph file were byte-identical, including the content-hashed Worker name. This measurement covers compiler clean-build startup and generated artifact size; lifecycle behavior remains covered by the complete effect, Worker, conditional, keyed, and navigation integration tests.

-## 0.8.20 Explicit Keyed Ownership
-
-Measured UTC 2026-08-09 on Apple M3, 8 logical CPUs, 8 GiB RAM, macOS 26.5.2 / Darwin 25.5.0, Node 25.6.1, and npm 11.18.0. Baseline `0.8.19` commit `c516173` and the current `0.8.20` compiler candidate used the same local volume and identical installed dependencies.
-
-The candidate implementation patch over `c516173` had SHA-256 `137f68090f6024374077f46cb61767f48dff27a193d33c9e92409b8dd7bb7d21`, produced by:

-```bash
-git diff --binary c516173 -- framework/build.mjs framework/compiler/descriptor-session.mjs framework/compiler/ir/module-ir.mjs framework/core.d.ts | shasum -a 256
-```
-
-Both targets received one warm-up followed by 21 clean `keyed-row-hooks` production builds in round-robin alternating order. Cleanup remained outside timing. The distributions overlap; the candidate median was 0.52% lower and does not establish a material change.

-Measured UTC 2026-08-08 on Apple M3, 8 logical CPUs, 8 GiB RAM, macOS 26.5.2 / Darwin 25.5.0, Node 25.6.1, and npm 11.18.0. Baseline `0.8.16` tag `98a4ad9` and the `0.8.17` release candidate used detached worktrees on the same temporary volume with identical installed dependencies.
-
-Both targets received two warm-ups followed by 21 clean `worker-effects` production builds in round-robin alternating order. Cleanup remained outside timing. The distributions overlap; the 1.76% candidate median difference remains below the 5% architecture gate and does not establish a material regression.

-Before release-content updates, the unchanged source site, Counter build module, route plan, and command runtime were byte-identical. The final Worker and window graphs remain byte-identical. This measurement covers compiler clean-build startup and artifact size, not browser interaction latency or cross-framework performance.

-## 0.7.12 Keyed Local State
-
-Measured UTC 2026-08-02 on Apple M3, 8 logical CPUs, 8 GiB RAM, macOS 26.5.2 / Darwin 25.5.0, Node 25.6.1, npm 11.18.0, and Chrome 150.0.7871.187.
-
-Targets were Kudzu 0.7.12 at commit `05e5cc248d425b0f30549cd0649df99291c5aa38`, React/React DOM 19.2.8, Vue 3.5.40, Svelte 5.56.8, and Vite 8.2.0. The Vite plugins were React 6.0.5, Vue 6.0.8, and Svelte 7.2.0.
-
-### Fixture
-
-- 1,000 keyed rows with matching visible content and controls.
-- Each row owns local editing state and conditionally creates a read-only input.
-- Operations run in order: edit row 500, reverse, remove row 500, re-add row 500.
-- Edit and reverse retain row 500 DOM identity; reverse also retains its input and editing state.
-- Removal disconnects the old row and input; re-add creates fresh non-editing DOM and state.
-- All 28 measured browser profiles passed content, order, identity, and reset checks.
-
-Kudzu emitted pre-rendered HTML plus capability ESM. React, Vue, and Svelte used Vite production CSR from an empty shell. Browser operation timing started only after each target had 1,000 rows, so it excludes initial rendering. Total output and JavaScript sizes are not architecture-equivalent comparisons.
-
-### Method
-
-- Builds: one clean warm-up per target, then seven clean measured builds in round-robin rotated order; cleanup remained outside timing.
-- Browser: 31 round-robin rotated unthrottled runs per target, each in a fresh Chrome profile. A separate seven-profile run used 4x CDP CPU throttling.
-- Timing: one in-page promise installs a <code>MutationObserver</code>, records <code>performance.now()</code>, dispatches the click, and resolves only after terminal DOM and identity predicates pass.
-- Initial JavaScript: unique external module-script/static-import closure plus inline module bodies. Raw size is summed bytes; gzip is one deterministic compression over path-sorted concatenated bytes.
-- Total output: sum of all regular production files.

-### Corrected Browser Distributions
-
-The first seven-profile run used external CDP polling and was discarded: protocol roundtrips added roughly 42–49 ms to reverse and produced unstable 4–10 ms bands for short operations. The corrected run measures completion entirely in-page. Values below are min / median / max across 31 fresh profiles.

-The observer validates DOM mutation completion, not paint or compositor presentation. Synthetic clicks exclude hardware input latency, and 0.1 ms timer quantization matters for sub-millisecond edits. The fixture measures one keyed local-state workload, not general framework performance.

-## 2026-08-03 Structural SVG And Link Lowering
-
-Measured on Intel Core i5-9500 (6 cores), 32 GB RAM, Linux 6.17.0-19-generic, Node 24.14.0, npm 11.9.0, and Chrome 142.0.7444.175. The worktree was based on Kudzu 0.7.21 with the unreleased structural SVG and React Router `Link` changes.
-
-The structural fixture rendered 1,000 keyed rows plus one reactive conditional. SVG and HTML targets used the same state and operation sequence: conditional toggle, row 500 update, reverse, row 500 removal, and one append. All 31 fresh profiles per target passed content, namespace, and retained reverse-identity checks. Builds received one clean warm-up followed by seven clean round-robin runs; cleanup was outside timing. Browser targets alternated order across 31 fresh profiles each, with completion measured in-page by `MutationObserver`.

-
-SVG added 333 B raw / 79 B aggregate gzip JavaScript to this matched capability graph. Its build median was 3.29% higher. Browser medians differed by +0.1 ms conditional, +0.1 ms update, 0.0 ms reverse, -0.1 ms remove, and -0.1 ms add. The sub-millisecond differences are within timer quantization and overlapping fresh-profile ranges; no material SVG browser regression was established.
-
-The static `Link` fixture and an already base-prefixed native-anchor control emitted byte-identical 248 B HTML, zero JavaScript, and no other files. Their clean build medians were 269.386 ms and 267.514 ms respectively, a 0.70% difference within the observed run variation.

-
-The browser ranges were SVG conditional 0.6–1.5 ms, update 1.5–3.8 ms, reverse 7.3–12.8 ms, remove 2.1–8.9 ms, add 2.9–13.0 ms; HTML conditional 0.5–4.1 ms, update 1.4–5.1 ms, reverse 6.2–27.8 ms, remove 2.0–10.2 ms, add 2.9–11.7 ms. Measurements cover DOM mutation completion, not paint/compositing, and use unthrottled synthetic clicks. The SVG and HTML markup is behavior-matched but not byte-identical, so total HTML/output differences are not attributed solely to namespace support.
-
-The maintained Worker benchmark also passed on this worktree: build runs `[874.5, 778.5, 757.3, 880.3, 713.7, 672.8, 515.3]` ms, median 757.3 ms; Worker graph 907 B raw / 477 B gzip; window graph 11,960 B raw / 5,353 B gzip. Its historical M3 build timings are not comparable to this Linux machine.
-
-## 2026-08-04 Large React Migration
-
-Measured on Intel Core i5-9500, Linux 6.17.0-19-generic, Node 24.14.0, npm 11.9.0, and Chrome 142.0.7444.175. The worktree was based on Kudzu 0.7.25 with unreleased React-compatible JSX typing, setter-adapter component specialization, and TypeScript-only collection-wrapper unwrapping.
-
-The generated Trailboard fixture contains 2,000 imported records, 500 initially rendered keyed cards, one reactive search reducing the list to one card, one keyed row-local state update, and 53 routes including 50 report pages. React/Vite has 60 source files, 2,561 lines, and 279,966 bytes; Kudzu has 58 source files, 2,440 lines, and 273,752 bytes because file routes replace the React root/router entries.
-
-Builds received one warm-up followed by seven alternating clean TypeScript-check plus production-build runs. Browser targets alternated across seven runs, each with a new Chrome profile and warm local server. An in-page async evaluation measured navigation start to the expected 500-card DOM, event dispatch to the one-card filtered DOM, and click dispatch to the row-local state attribute update.
-
-### Medians
-
-| Metric | React/Vite | Kudzu | Kudzu difference |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|
-| Clean typecheck + build | 3,188.27 ms | 2,759.69 ms | -13.44% |
-| Initial 500-card DOM | 261.80 ms | 280.10 ms | +6.99% |
-| Filter 500 cards to one | 13.90 ms | 28.30 ms | +103.60% |
-| Toggle keyed row state | 5.80 ms | 5.30 ms | -8.62% |
-| JavaScript gzip | 97,885 B | 12,191 B | -87.55% |
-
-Kudzu's filter path is the clear loss in this fixture and is the next measured optimization candidate. Initial readiness and row-local state are in overlapping fresh-profile ranges, while the build and JavaScript-size wins are material.
-
-### Selector Optimization Follow-up
-
-The collection evaluator was changed to cache selector state reads for one execution and avoid recursive rest-array allocation, `slice()`, and `map()` in hot expression nodes. A second seven-run alternating fresh-profile measurement used the same fixture and method.
-
-| Metric | Baseline | Optimized | Change |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|
-| Kudzu filter 500 cards to one | 28.30 ms | 22.00 ms | -22.26% |
-| React filter control | 13.90 ms | 13.60 ms | -2.16% |
-| Kudzu gap versus React | +103.60% | +61.76% | -41.84 points |
-| Kudzu JavaScript gzip | 12,191 B | 12,310 B | +0.98% |
-
-The allocation/state-cache change materially improves the path without changing list ownership or cleanup semantics. The remaining gap is concentrated in generic keyed reconciliation and per-row ownership cleanup when 499 mounted rows are removed at once. An attempted detached batch cleanup was discarded because it broke the remove-all/add-new-key transition; it is not part of the retained change.
-
-```text
-Optimized Kudzu filter: [22.8, 22.5, 20.8, 19.2, 22.0, 22.5, 20.7]
-Optimized React filter: [14.9, 14.9, 15.6, 12.9, 13.6, 13.4, 12.9]
-```
-
-### Indexed Row Release Follow-up
-
-Profiling separated selector evaluation, which took about 3 ms, from the remaining per-row lifecycle work. The compiler now marks keyed rows for direct state-indexed release only when they have row-local state but no row effects, nested lists, or shared text targets. Binding and condition registrations are released by state ID; all other row shapes retain the existing DOM-owned unmount path.
-
-Because the seven-run ranges overlapped, the final isolated measurement used one warm-up and 21 alternating samples:
-
-| Metric | React/Vite | Kudzu | Kudzu difference |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|
-| Clean typecheck + build | 3,024.33 ms | 2,664.58 ms | -11.90% |
-| Initial 500-card DOM | 256.90 ms | 256.00 ms | -0.35% |
-| Filter 500 cards to one | 13.90 ms | 13.50 ms | -2.88% |
-| Toggle keyed row state | 5.70 ms | 5.30 ms | -7.02% |
-| JavaScript gzip | 97,885 B | 12,442 B | -87.29% |
-
-The final Kudzu filter median is 52.30% below the preserved 28.30 ms baseline and 2.88% faster than React on the matched operation. The fast path adds 132 B gzip over the selector-only follow-up. Raw 21-run arrays and generated reports are stored in the benchmark fixture.
-
-### Artifacts
-
-| Target | HTML raw / gzip | CSS raw / gzip | JS raw / gzip |
-|---|---:|---:|---:|
-| React/Vite | 168 / 143 B | 3,649 / 1,365 B | 465,830 / 97,885 B |
-| Kudzu | 702,854 / 65,355 B | 4,225 / 1,442 B | 30,175 / 12,191 B |
-
-React/Vite emits one CSR shell, while Kudzu's HTML total includes 53 complete documents. The initial-readiness comparison therefore measures the product delivery difference rather than equivalent markup. Gzip totals sum files independently; clients do not download all 53 Kudzu documents for one route.
