-/* The table is built once and then only shown and hidden. That rests on three things that do not depend on the
- * reader: a cell's content and colour come from the pair (commit, file) and a metric (`cellParts`, `valueParts`),
- * the order of the columns comes from the files alone, and only the visibility and the totals are the choice's.
- * Hence nothing below builds a node after the first drawing — a click writes a class and a number.
+/* The table: a grid of plain elements (`<div>`), of which only the part the reader looks at is built. The file's
+ * length is the report's, but the price of a report is paid by whoever opens it, so the table is no longer a
+ * `<table>` with every cell of every column in it.
  *
- * What makes this cheap is a cache of references to the nodes of every column (`appTable` returns it): reaching a
- * cell through the markup costs several times what changing it does (measured: `tr.children[i]` 0.0254 ms against
- * `classList.toggle` 0.0070 ms), and the first drawing creates every node anyway, so collecting them is free. The
- * columns of the fixed layout — a `<col>` per column, carrying the counted width — are collected there too.
+ * **Why not a `<table>`.** Measured on this repository's own report (238 500 cells = 370 758 nodes, a table 71 712 ×
+ * 5 982 px): about 1.4 GB of a browser's memory, of which roughly half the nodes and half the painted area, and a
+ * browser's relayout of it costs close to a second on any switch (`probes/step-12-columns.mjs`). `content-visibility:
+ * auto`, the cheap way out, is ignored on a table row by Chrome 153 (`probes/step-10-tables.mjs`), so the answer is
+ * to build less rather than to promise the browser will skip it. A grid of `position: absolute` rows has no layout to
+ * be redone: a row is placed by its `top`, a column by the `left` of the group of cells that starts it, and the
+ * browser never measures a cell to decide a width — every column is `--col` wide (70px), which is what the numbers
+ * need and no more (the counted widths this step replaced were 47–70px).
  *
- * The totals are the only numbers that move with the choice, and they are carried rather than recounted: a sum is
- * linear, so a file switched off subtracts exactly its own numbers — the same integers the first drawing wrote.
+ * **Why not a library.** A virtualizer for two axes is not a solved problem for a page like this one — measured from
+ * the tarballs, `@tanstack/virtual-core` is ~6.7 kB gzip and headless (the rows and columns are two virtualizers and
+ * every node is yours to write), `virtua` (~6.1 kB) calls its grid `experimental_VGrid` and has no sticky pieces,
+ * `Clusterize.js` virtualizes rows from a string of all of them and knows nothing of columns. All three would have to
+ * be vendored into the artifact — the page is one file, opens from disk and resolves no import — and the report
+ * measures its own bytes, so the library would be measured by the very tool it is inside. What is left to write
+ * after any of them is what this file is: the window, the cells, the header and the pinned column.
+ *
+ * **What is built.** The window is the rows and the columns the shell shows, plus `APP_OVER` beyond each edge: what
+ * the reader is about to reach is already there, so the edge of the window is never seen empty. Scrolling costs no
+ * JavaScript, the rows sit in the scrolled content at their own `top`; the script works only when the window has
+ * really moved, and then only on what left it and what entered it (measured on the prototype: 0.9 ms a step down the
+ * table, against 6.5 ms for building the whole window again). The header sticks to the shell's top and the commit
+ * column to its left (both `position: sticky`), so the row and the column a number belongs to are always in sight.
+ *
+ * The choice is applied by building the window again: the columns of a switched-off file are simply not among the
+ * columns that are built, so there is nothing to hide and nothing to recount — the totals are the sum over the files
+ * that are on, counted by `rowModel` for the rows the window holds (`src/derived.js`, one place for that
+ * arithmetic).
