+## CSS content-visibility for Long Lists
+
+Apply `content-visibility: auto` to defer off-screen rendering.
+
+**CSS:**
+
+```css
+.message-item {
+  content-visibility: auto;
+  contain-intrinsic-size: 0 80px;
+}
+```
+
+**Example:**
+
+```tsx
+function MessageList({ messages }: { messages: Message[] }) {
+  return (
+    <div className="overflow-y-auto h-screen">
+      {messages.map(msg => (
+        <div key={msg.id} className="message-item">
+          <Avatar user={msg.author} />
+          <div>{msg.content}</div>
+        </div>
+      ))}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+For 1000 messages, browser skips layout/paint for ~990 off-screen items (10× faster initial render).

+)
+
+function Container() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {loading && loadingSkeleton}

+```
+
+This is especially helpful for large and static SVG nodes, which can be expensive to recreate on every render.
+
+**Note:** If your project has [React Compiler](https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler) enabled, the compiler automatically hoists static JSX elements and optimizes component re-renders, making manual hoisting unnecessary.

+
+## Prevent Hydration Mismatch Without Flickering
+
+When rendering content that depends on client-side storage (localStorage, cookies), avoid both SSR breakage and post-hydration flickering by injecting a synchronous script that updates the DOM before React hydrates.
+
+**Incorrect (breaks SSR):**
+
+```tsx
+function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+  // localStorage is not available on server - throws error
+  const theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'light'
+  
+  return (
+    <div className={theme}>
+      {children}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Server-side rendering will fail because `localStorage` is undefined.
+
+**Incorrect (visual flickering):**
+
+```tsx
+function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+  const [theme, setTheme] = useState('light')
+  
+  useEffect(() => {
+    // Runs after hydration - causes visible flash
+    const stored = localStorage.getItem('theme')
+    if (stored) {
+      setTheme(stored)
+    }
+  }, [])
+  
+  return (
+    <div className={theme}>
+      {children}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Component first renders with default value (`light`), then updates after hydration, causing a visible flash of incorrect content.
+
+**Correct (no flicker, no hydration mismatch):**
+
+```tsx
+function ThemeWrapper({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+  return (
+    <>
+      <div id="theme-wrapper">
+        {children}
+      </div>
+      <script
+        dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{
+          __html: `
+            (function() {
+              try {
+                var theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'light';
+                var el = document.getElementById('theme-wrapper');
+                if (el) el.className = theme;
+              } catch (e) {}
+            })();
+          `,
+        }}
+      />
+    </>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+The inline script executes synchronously before showing the element, ensuring the DOM already has the correct value. No flickering, no hydration mismatch.
+
+This pattern is especially useful for theme toggles, user preferences, authentication states, and any client-only data that should render immediately without flashing default values.

+
+## Use useTransition Over Manual Loading States
+
+Use `useTransition` instead of manual `useState` for loading states. This provides built-in `isPending` state and automatically manages transitions.
+
+**Incorrect (manual loading state):**
+
+```tsx
+function SearchResults() {
+  const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
+  const [results, setResults] = useState([])
+  const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false)
+
+  const handleSearch = async (value: string) => {
+    setIsLoading(true)
+    setQuery(value)
+    const data = await fetchResults(value)
+    setResults(data)
+    setIsLoading(false)
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <>
+      <input onChange={(e) => handleSearch(e.target.value)} />
+      {isLoading && <Spinner />}
+      <ResultsList results={results} />
+    </>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (useTransition with built-in pending state):**
+
+```tsx
+import { useTransition, useState } from 'react'
+
+function SearchResults() {
+  const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
+  const [results, setResults] = useState([])
+  const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition()
+
+  const handleSearch = (value: string) => {
+    setQuery(value) // Update input immediately
+    
+    startTransition(async () => {
+      // Fetch and update results
+      const data = await fetchResults(value)
+      setResults(data)
+    })
+  }
+
+  return (

+      {isPending && <Spinner />}
+      <ResultsList results={results} />
+    </>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- **Automatic pending state**: No need to manually manage `setIsLoading(true/false)`
+- **Error resilience**: Pending state correctly resets even if the transition throws
+- **Better responsiveness**: Keeps the UI responsive during updates
+- **Interrupt handling**: New transitions automatically cancel pending ones

+---
+
+## Use Functional setState Updates
+
+When updating state based on the current state value, use the functional update form of setState instead of directly referencing the state variable. This prevents stale closures, eliminates unnecessary dependencies, and creates stable callback references.
+
+**Incorrect (requires state as dependency):**
+
+```tsx
+function TodoList() {
+  const [items, setItems] = useState(initialItems)
+  
+  // Callback must depend on items, recreated on every items change
+  const addItems = useCallback((newItems: Item[]) => {
+    setItems([...items, ...newItems])
+  }, [items])  // ❌ items dependency causes recreations
+  
+  // Risk of stale closure if dependency is forgotten
+  const removeItem = useCallback((id: string) => {
+    setItems(items.filter(item => item.id !== id))
+  }, [])  // ❌ Missing items dependency - will use stale items!
+  
+  return <ItemsEditor items={items} onAdd={addItems} onRemove={removeItem} />
+}
+```
+
+The first callback is recreated every time `items` changes, which can cause child components to re-render unnecessarily. The second callback has a stale closure bug—it will always reference the initial `items` value.
+
+**Correct (stable callbacks, no stale closures):**
+
+```tsx
+function TodoList() {
+  const [items, setItems] = useState(initialItems)
+  
+  // Stable callback, never recreated
+  const addItems = useCallback((newItems: Item[]) => {
+    setItems(curr => [...curr, ...newItems])
+  }, [])  // ✅ No dependencies needed
+  
+  // Always uses latest state, no stale closure risk
+  const removeItem = useCallback((id: string) => {
+    setItems(curr => curr.filter(item => item.id !== id))
+  }, [])  // ✅ Safe and stable
+  
+  return <ItemsEditor items={items} onAdd={addItems} onRemove={removeItem} />
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+1. **Stable callback references** - Callbacks don't need to be recreated when state changes
+2. **No stale closures** - Always operates on the latest state value
+3. **Fewer dependencies** - Simplifies dependency arrays and reduces memory leaks
+4. **Prevents bugs** - Eliminates the most common source of React closure bugs
+
+**When to use functional updates:**
+
+- Any setState that depends on the current state value
+- Inside useCallback/useMemo when state is needed
+- Event handlers that reference state
+- Async operations that update state
+
+**When direct updates are fine:**
+
+- Setting state to a static value: `setCount(0)`
+- Setting state from props/arguments only: `setName(newName)`
+- State doesn't depend on previous value
+
+**Note:** If your project has [React Compiler](https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler) enabled, the compiler can automatically optimize some cases, but functional updates are still recommended for correctness and to prevent stale closure bugs.

+Pass a function to `useState` for expensive initial values. Without the function form, the initializer runs on every render even though the value is only used once.

+function FilteredList({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {

+    JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('settings') || '{}')
+  )
+  
+  return <SettingsForm settings={settings} onChange={setSettings} />
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (runs only once):**
+
+```tsx
+function FilteredList({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {
+  // buildSearchIndex() runs ONLY on initial render
+  const [searchIndex, setSearchIndex] = useState(() => buildSearchIndex(items))

+  })
+  
+  return <SettingsForm settings={settings} onChange={setSettings} />
+}
+```
+
+Use lazy initialization when computing initial values from localStorage/sessionStorage, building data structures (indexes, maps), reading from the DOM, or performing heavy transformations.
+
+For simple primitives (`useState(0)`), direct references (`useState(props.value)`), or cheap literals (`useState({})`), the function form is unnecessary.
