+## ✅ Performance Review Checklist
+
+Before shipping to production:
+
+**Critical (Must Fix):**
+
+- [ ] No sequential data fetching (waterfalls eliminated)
+- [ ] Bundle size < 200KB for main bundle
+- [ ] No barrel imports in app code
+- [ ] Dynamic imports used for large components
+- [ ] Parallel data fetching where possible
+
+**High Priority:**
+
+- [ ] Server components used where appropriate
+- [ ] API routes optimized (no N+1 queries)
+- [ ] Suspense boundaries for data fetching
+- [ ] Static generation used where possible
+
+**Medium Priority:**
+
+- [ ] Expensive computations memoized
+- [ ] List rendering virtualized (if > 100 items)
+- [ ] Images optimized with next/image
+- [ ] No unnecessary re-renders
+
+**Low Priority (Polish):**
+
+- [ ] Hot path loops optimized
+- [ ] RegExp patterns hoisted
+- [ ] Property access cached in loops
+
+---
+
+## ❌ Anti-Patterns (Common Mistakes)
+
+**DON'T:**
+
+- ❌ Use sequential `await` for independent operations
+- ❌ Import entire libraries when you need one function
+- ❌ Use barrel exports (`index.ts` re-exports) in app code
+- ❌ Skip dynamic imports for large components/libraries
+- ❌ Fetch data in useEffect without deduplication
+- ❌ Forget to memoize expensive computations
+- ❌ Use client components when server components work
+
+**DO:**
+
+- ✅ Fetch data in parallel with `Promise.all()`
+- ✅ Use dynamic imports: `const Comp = dynamic(() => import('./Heavy'))`
+- ✅ Import directly: `import { specific } from 'library/specific'`
+- ✅ Use Suspense boundaries for better UX
+- ✅ Leverage React Server Components
+- ✅ Measure performance before optimizing
+- ✅ Use Next.js built-in optimizations (next/image, next/font)
+

+## 🎓 Best Practices Summary
+
+**Golden Rules:**
+
+1. **Measure first** - Use React DevTools Profiler, Chrome DevTools
+2. **Biggest impact first** - Waterfalls → Bundle → Server → Micro
+3. **Don't over-optimize** - Focus on real bottlenecks
+4. **Use platform features** - Next.js has optimizations built-in
+5. **Think about users** - Real-world conditions matter
+
+**Performance Mindset:**
+
+- Every `await` in sequence = potential waterfall
+- Every `import` = potential bundle bloat
+- Every re-render = wasted computation (if unnecessary)
+- Server components = less JavaScript to ship
+- Measure, don't guess

+# 1. Eliminating Waterfalls
+
+> **Impact:** CRITICAL
+> **Focus:** Waterfalls are the #1 performance killer. Each sequential await adds full network latency. Eliminating them yields the largest gains.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This section contains **5 rules** focused on eliminating waterfalls.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 1.1: Defer Await Until Needed
+
+**Impact:** HIGH  
+**Tags:** async, await, conditional, optimization  
+
+## Defer Await Until Needed
+
+Move `await` operations into the branches where they're actually used to avoid blocking code paths that don't need them.
+
+**Incorrect (blocks both branches):**
+
+```typescript
+async function handleRequest(userId: string, skipProcessing: boolean) {
+  const userData = await fetchUserData(userId)
+  
+  if (skipProcessing) {
+    // Returns immediately but still waited for userData
+    return { skipped: true }
+  }
+  
+  // Only this branch uses userData
+  return processUserData(userData)
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (only blocks when needed):**
+
+```typescript
+async function handleRequest(userId: string, skipProcessing: boolean) {
+  if (skipProcessing) {
+    // Returns immediately without waiting
+    return { skipped: true }
+  }
+  
+  // Fetch only when needed
+  const userData = await fetchUserData(userId)
+  return processUserData(userData)
+}
+```
+
+**Another example (early return optimization):**
+
+```typescript
+// Incorrect: always fetches permissions
+async function updateResource(resourceId: string, userId: string) {
+  const permissions = await fetchPermissions(userId)
+  const resource = await getResource(resourceId)
+  
+  if (!resource) {
+    return { error: 'Not found' }
+  }
+  
+  if (!permissions.canEdit) {
+    return { error: 'Forbidden' }
+  }
+  
+  return await updateResourceData(resource, permissions)
+}
+
+// Correct: fetches only when needed
+async function updateResource(resourceId: string, userId: string) {
+  const resource = await getResource(resourceId)
+  
+  if (!resource) {
+    return { error: 'Not found' }
+  }
+  
+  const permissions = await fetchPermissions(userId)
+  
+  if (!permissions.canEdit) {
+    return { error: 'Forbidden' }
+  }
+  
+  return await updateResourceData(resource, permissions)
+}
+```
+
+This optimization is especially valuable when the skipped branch is frequently taken, or when the deferred operation is expensive.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 1.2: Dependency-Based Parallelization
+
+**Impact:** CRITICAL  
+**Tags:** async, parallelization, dependencies, better-all  
+
+## Dependency-Based Parallelization
+
+For operations with partial dependencies, use `better-all` to maximize parallelism. It automatically starts each task at the earliest possible moment.
+
+**Incorrect (profile waits for config unnecessarily):**
+
+```typescript
+const [user, config] = await Promise.all([
+  fetchUser(),
+  fetchConfig()
+])
+const profile = await fetchProfile(user.id)
+```
+
+**Correct (config and profile run in parallel):**
+
+```typescript
+import { all } from 'better-all'
+
+const { user, config, profile } = await all({
+  async user() { return fetchUser() },
+  async config() { return fetchConfig() },
+  async profile() {
+    return fetchProfile((await this.$.user).id)
+  }
+})
+```
+
+**Alternative without extra dependencies:**
+
+We can also create all the promises first, and do `Promise.all()` at the end.
+
+```typescript
+const userPromise = fetchUser()
+const profilePromise = userPromise.then(user => fetchProfile(user.id))
+
+const [user, config, profile] = await Promise.all([
+  userPromise,
+  fetchConfig(),
+  profilePromise
+])
+```
+

+
+---
+
+## Rule 1.3: Prevent Waterfall Chains in API Routes
+
+**Impact:** CRITICAL  
+**Tags:** api-routes, server-actions, waterfalls, parallelization  
+
+## Prevent Waterfall Chains in API Routes
+
+In API routes and Server Actions, start independent operations immediately, even if you don't await them yet.
+
+**Incorrect (config waits for auth, data waits for both):**
+
+```typescript
+export async function GET(request: Request) {
+  const session = await auth()
+  const config = await fetchConfig()
+  const data = await fetchData(session.user.id)
+  return Response.json({ data, config })
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (auth and config start immediately):**
+
+```typescript
+export async function GET(request: Request) {
+  const sessionPromise = auth()
+  const configPromise = fetchConfig()
+  const session = await sessionPromise
+  const [config, data] = await Promise.all([
+    configPromise,
+    fetchData(session.user.id)
+  ])
+  return Response.json({ data, config })
+}
+```
+
+For operations with more complex dependency chains, use `better-all` to automatically maximize parallelism (see Dependency-Based Parallelization).
+
+---
+
+## Rule 1.4: Promise.all() for Independent Operations
+
+**Impact:** CRITICAL  
+**Tags:** async, parallelization, promises, waterfalls  
+
+## Promise.all() for Independent Operations
+
+When async operations have no interdependencies, execute them concurrently using `Promise.all()`.
+
+**Incorrect (sequential execution, 3 round trips):**
+
+```typescript
+const user = await fetchUser()
+const posts = await fetchPosts()
+const comments = await fetchComments()
+```
+
+**Correct (parallel execution, 1 round trip):**
+
+```typescript
+const [user, posts, comments] = await Promise.all([
+  fetchUser(),
+  fetchPosts(),
+  fetchComments()
+])
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 1.5: Strategic Suspense Boundaries
+
+**Impact:** HIGH  
+**Tags:** async, suspense, streaming, layout-shift  
+
+## Strategic Suspense Boundaries
+
+Instead of awaiting data in async components before returning JSX, use Suspense boundaries to show the wrapper UI faster while data loads.
+
+**Incorrect (wrapper blocked by data fetching):**
+
+```tsx
+async function Page() {
+  const data = await fetchData() // Blocks entire page
+  
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>Sidebar</div>
+      <div>Header</div>
+      <div>
+        <DataDisplay data={data} />
+      </div>
+      <div>Footer</div>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+The entire layout waits for data even though only the middle section needs it.
+
+**Correct (wrapper shows immediately, data streams in):**
+
+```tsx
+function Page() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>Sidebar</div>
+      <div>Header</div>
+      <div>
+        <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
+          <DataDisplay />
+        </Suspense>
+      </div>
+      <div>Footer</div>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+async function DataDisplay() {
+  const data = await fetchData() // Only blocks this component
+  return <div>{data.content}</div>
+}
+```
+
+Sidebar, Header, and Footer render immediately. Only DataDisplay waits for data.
+
+**Alternative (share promise across components):**
+
+```tsx
+function Page() {
+  // Start fetch immediately, but don't await
+  const dataPromise = fetchData()
+  
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>Sidebar</div>
+      <div>Header</div>
+      <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton />}>
+        <DataDisplay dataPromise={dataPromise} />
+        <DataSummary dataPromise={dataPromise} />
+      </Suspense>
+      <div>Footer</div>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+function DataDisplay({ dataPromise }: { dataPromise: Promise<Data> }) {
+  const data = use(dataPromise) // Unwraps the promise
+  return <div>{data.content}</div>
+}
+
+function DataSummary({ dataPromise }: { dataPromise: Promise<Data> }) {
+  const data = use(dataPromise) // Reuses the same promise
+  return <div>{data.summary}</div>
+}
+```
+
+Both components share the same promise, so only one fetch occurs. Layout renders immediately while both components wait together.
+
+**When NOT to use this pattern:**
+
+- Critical data needed for layout decisions (affects positioning)
+- SEO-critical content above the fold
+- Small, fast queries where suspense overhead isn't worth it
+- When you want to avoid layout shift (loading → content jump)
+
+**Trade-off:** Faster initial paint vs potential layout shift. Choose based on your UX priorities.
+

+
+# 2. Bundle Size Optimization
+
+> **Impact:** CRITICAL
+> **Focus:** Reducing initial bundle size improves Time to Interactive and Largest Contentful Paint.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This section contains **5 rules** focused on bundle size optimization.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 2.1: Avoid Barrel File Imports
+
+**Impact:** CRITICAL  
+**Tags:** bundle, imports, tree-shaking, barrel-files, performance  
+
+## Avoid Barrel File Imports
+
+Import directly from source files instead of barrel files to avoid loading thousands of unused modules. **Barrel files** are entry points that re-export multiple modules (e.g., `index.js` that does `export * from './module'`).
+
+Popular icon and component libraries can have **up to 10,000 re-exports** in their entry file. For many React packages, **it takes 200-800ms just to import them**, affecting both development speed and production cold starts.
+
+**Why tree-shaking doesn't help:** When a library is marked as external (not bundled), the bundler can't optimize it. If you bundle it to enable tree-shaking, builds become substantially slower analyzing the entire module graph.
+
+**Incorrect (imports entire library):**
+
+```tsx
+import { Check, X, Menu } from 'lucide-react'
+// Loads 1,583 modules, takes ~2.8s extra in dev
+// Runtime cost: 200-800ms on every cold start
+
+import { Button, TextField } from '@mui/material'
+// Loads 2,225 modules, takes ~4.2s extra in dev
+```
+
+**Correct (imports only what you need):**
+
+```tsx
+import Check from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/check'
+import X from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/x'
+import Menu from 'lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/menu'
+// Loads only 3 modules (~2KB vs ~1MB)
+
+import Button from '@mui/material/Button'
+import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField'
+// Loads only what you use
+```
+
+**Alternative (Next.js 13.5+):**
+
+```js
+// next.config.js - use optimizePackageImports
+module.exports = {
+  experimental: {
+    optimizePackageImports: ['lucide-react', '@mui/material']
+  }
+}
+
+// Then you can keep the ergonomic barrel imports:
+import { Check, X, Menu } from 'lucide-react'
+// Automatically transformed to direct imports at build time
+```
+
+Direct imports provide 15-70% faster dev boot, 28% faster builds, 40% faster cold starts, and significantly faster HMR.
+
+Libraries commonly affected: `lucide-react`, `@mui/material`, `@mui/icons-material`, `@tabler/icons-react`, `react-icons`, `@headlessui/react`, `@radix-ui/react-*`, `lodash`, `ramda`, `date-fns`, `rxjs`, `react-use`.

+
+---
+
+## Rule 2.2: Conditional Module Loading
+
+**Impact:** HIGH  
+**Tags:** bundle, conditional-loading, lazy-loading  
+
+## Conditional Module Loading
+
+Load large data or modules only when a feature is activated.
+
+**Example (lazy-load animation frames):**
+
+```tsx
+function AnimationPlayer({ enabled, setEnabled }: { enabled: boolean; setEnabled: React.Dispatch<React.SetStateAction<boolean>> }) {
+  const [frames, setFrames] = useState<Frame[] | null>(null)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (enabled && !frames && typeof window !== 'undefined') {
+      import('./animation-frames.js')
+        .then(mod => setFrames(mod.frames))
+        .catch(() => setEnabled(false))
+    }
+  }, [enabled, frames, setEnabled])
+
+  if (!frames) return <Skeleton />
+  return <Canvas frames={frames} />
+}
+```
+
+The `typeof window !== 'undefined'` check prevents bundling this module for SSR, optimizing server bundle size and build speed.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 2.3: Defer Non-Critical Third-Party Libraries
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** bundle, third-party, analytics, defer  
+
+## Defer Non-Critical Third-Party Libraries
+
+Analytics, logging, and error tracking don't block user interaction. Load them after hydration.
+
+**Incorrect (blocks initial bundle):**
+
+```tsx
+import { Analytics } from '@vercel/analytics/react'
+
+export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
+  return (
+    <html>
+      <body>
+        {children}
+        <Analytics />
+      </body>
+    </html>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (loads after hydration):**
+
+```tsx
+import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
+
+const Analytics = dynamic(
+  () => import('@vercel/analytics/react').then(m => m.Analytics),
+  { ssr: false }
+)
+
+export default function RootLayout({ children }) {
+  return (
+    <html>
+      <body>
+        {children}
+        <Analytics />
+      </body>
+    </html>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 2.4: Dynamic Imports for Heavy Components
+
+**Impact:** CRITICAL  
+**Tags:** bundle, dynamic-import, code-splitting, next-dynamic  
+
+## Dynamic Imports for Heavy Components
+
+Use `next/dynamic` to lazy-load large components not needed on initial render.
+
+**Incorrect (Monaco bundles with main chunk ~300KB):**
+
+```tsx
+import { MonacoEditor } from './monaco-editor'
+
+function CodePanel({ code }: { code: string }) {
+  return <MonacoEditor value={code} />
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (Monaco loads on demand):**
+
+```tsx
+import dynamic from 'next/dynamic'
+
+const MonacoEditor = dynamic(
+  () => import('./monaco-editor').then(m => m.MonacoEditor),
+  { ssr: false }
+)
+
+function CodePanel({ code }: { code: string }) {
+  return <MonacoEditor value={code} />
+}
+```

+
+## Rule 2.5: Preload Based on User Intent
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** bundle, preload, user-intent, hover  
+
+## Preload Based on User Intent
+
+Preload heavy bundles before they're needed to reduce perceived latency.
+
+**Example (preload on hover/focus):**
+
+```tsx
+function EditorButton({ onClick }: { onClick: () => void }) {
+  const preload = () => {
+    if (typeof window !== 'undefined') {
+      void import('./monaco-editor')
+    }
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <button
+      onMouseEnter={preload}
+      onFocus={preload}
+      onClick={onClick}
+    >
+      Open Editor
+    </button>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Example (preload when feature flag is enabled):**
+
+```tsx
+function FlagsProvider({ children, flags }: Props) {
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (flags.editorEnabled && typeof window !== 'undefined') {
+      void import('./monaco-editor').then(mod => mod.init())
+    }
+  }, [flags.editorEnabled])
+
+  return <FlagsContext.Provider value={flags}>
+    {children}
+  </FlagsContext.Provider>
+}
+```
+
+The `typeof window !== 'undefined'` check prevents bundling preloaded modules for SSR, optimizing server bundle size and build speed.

+# 3. Server-Side Performance
+
+> **Impact:** HIGH
+> **Focus:** Optimizing server-side rendering and data fetching eliminates server-side waterfalls and reduces response times.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This section contains **7 rules** focused on server-side performance.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 3.1: Authenticate Server Actions Like API Routes
+
+**Impact:** CRITICAL  
+**Tags:** server, server-actions, authentication, security, authorization  
+
+## Authenticate Server Actions Like API Routes
+
+**Impact: CRITICAL (prevents unauthorized access to server mutations)**
+
+Server Actions (functions with `"use server"`) are exposed as public endpoints, just like API routes. Always verify authentication and authorization **inside** each Server Action—do not rely solely on middleware, layout guards, or page-level checks, as Server Actions can be invoked directly.
+
+Next.js documentation explicitly states: "Treat Server Actions with the same security considerations as public-facing API endpoints, and verify if the user is allowed to perform a mutation."
+
+**Incorrect (no authentication check):**
+
+```typescript
+'use server'
+
+export async function deleteUser(userId: string) {
+  // Anyone can call this! No auth check
+  await db.user.delete({ where: { id: userId } })
+  return { success: true }
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (authentication inside the action):**
+
+```typescript
+'use server'
+
+import { verifySession } from '@/lib/auth'
+import { unauthorized } from '@/lib/errors'
+
+export async function deleteUser(userId: string) {
+  // Always check auth inside the action
+  const session = await verifySession()
+  
+  if (!session) {
+    throw unauthorized('Must be logged in')
+  }
+  
+  // Check authorization too
+  if (session.user.role !== 'admin' && session.user.id !== userId) {
+    throw unauthorized('Cannot delete other users')
+  }
+  
+  await db.user.delete({ where: { id: userId } })
+  return { success: true }
+}
+```
+
+**With input validation:**
+
+```typescript
+'use server'
+
+import { verifySession } from '@/lib/auth'
+import { z } from 'zod'
+
+const updateProfileSchema = z.object({
+  userId: z.string().uuid(),
+  name: z.string().min(1).max(100),
+  email: z.string().email()
+})
+
+export async function updateProfile(data: unknown) {
+  // Validate input first
+  const validated = updateProfileSchema.parse(data)
+  
+  // Then authenticate
+  const session = await verifySession()
+  if (!session) {
+    throw new Error('Unauthorized')
+  }
+  
+  // Then authorize
+  if (session.user.id !== validated.userId) {
+    throw new Error('Can only update own profile')
+  }
+  
+  // Finally perform the mutation
+  await db.user.update({
+    where: { id: validated.userId },
+    data: {
+      name: validated.name,
+      email: validated.email
+    }
+  })
+  
+  return { success: true }
+}
+```

+
+## Rule 3.2: Avoid Duplicate Serialization in RSC Props
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** server, rsc, serialization, props, client-components  
+
+## Avoid Duplicate Serialization in RSC Props
+
+**Impact: LOW (reduces network payload by avoiding duplicate serialization)**
+
+RSC→client serialization deduplicates by object reference, not value. Same reference = serialized once; new reference = serialized again. Do transformations (`.toSorted()`, `.filter()`, `.map()`) in client, not server.
+
+**Incorrect (duplicates array):**
+
+```tsx
+// RSC: sends 6 strings (2 arrays × 3 items)
+<ClientList usernames={usernames} usernamesOrdered={usernames.toSorted()} />
+```
+
+**Correct (sends 3 strings):**
+
+```tsx
+// RSC: send once
+<ClientList usernames={usernames} />
+
+// Client: transform there
+'use client'
+const sorted = useMemo(() => [...usernames].sort(), [usernames])
+```
+
+**Nested deduplication behavior:**
+
+Deduplication works recursively. Impact varies by data type:
+
+- `string[]`, `number[]`, `boolean[]`: **HIGH impact** - array + all primitives fully duplicated
+- `object[]`: **LOW impact** - array duplicated, but nested objects deduplicated by reference
+
+```tsx
+// string[] - duplicates everything
+usernames={['a','b']} sorted={usernames.toSorted()} // sends 4 strings
+
+// object[] - duplicates array structure only
+users={[{id:1},{id:2}]} sorted={users.toSorted()} // sends 2 arrays + 2 unique objects (not 4)
+```
+
+**Operations breaking deduplication (create new references):**
+
+- Arrays: `.toSorted()`, `.filter()`, `.map()`, `.slice()`, `[...arr]`
+- Objects: `{...obj}`, `Object.assign()`, `structuredClone()`, `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify())`
+
+**More examples:**
+
+```tsx
+// ❌ Bad
+<C users={users} active={users.filter(u => u.active)} />
+<C product={product} productName={product.name} />
+
+// ✅ Good
+<C users={users} />
+<C product={product} />
+// Do filtering/destructuring in client
+```
+
+**Exception:** Pass derived data when transformation is expensive or client doesn't need original.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 3.3: Cross-Request LRU Caching
+
+**Impact:** HIGH  
+**Tags:** server, cache, lru, cross-request  
+
+## Cross-Request LRU Caching
+
+`React.cache()` only works within one request. For data shared across sequential requests (user clicks button A then button B), use an LRU cache.
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+```typescript
+import { LRUCache } from 'lru-cache'
+
+const cache = new LRUCache<string, any>({
+  max: 1000,
+  ttl: 5 * 60 * 1000  // 5 minutes
+})
+
+export async function getUser(id: string) {
+  const cached = cache.get(id)
+  if (cached) return cached
+
+  const user = await db.user.findUnique({ where: { id } })
+  cache.set(id, user)
+  return user
+}
+
+// Request 1: DB query, result cached
+// Request 2: cache hit, no DB query
+```
+
+Use when sequential user actions hit multiple endpoints needing the same data within seconds.
+
+**With Vercel's [Fluid Compute](https://vercel.com/docs/fluid-compute):** LRU caching is especially effective because multiple concurrent requests can share the same function instance and cache. This means the cache persists across requests without needing external storage like Redis.
+
+**In traditional serverless:** Each invocation runs in isolation, so consider Redis for cross-process caching.
+
+Reference: [https://github.com/isaacs/node-lru-cache](https://github.com/isaacs/node-lru-cache)
+
+---
+
+## Rule 3.4: Minimize Serialization at RSC Boundaries
+
+**Impact:** HIGH  
+**Tags:** server, rsc, serialization, props  
+
+## Minimize Serialization at RSC Boundaries
+
+The React Server/Client boundary serializes all object properties into strings and embeds them in the HTML response and subsequent RSC requests. This serialized data directly impacts page weight and load time, so **size matters a lot**. Only pass fields that the client actually uses.
+
+**Incorrect (serializes all 50 fields):**
+
+```tsx
+async function Page() {
+  const user = await fetchUser()  // 50 fields
+  return <Profile user={user} />
+}
+
+'use client'
+function Profile({ user }: { user: User }) {
+  return <div>{user.name}</div>  // uses 1 field
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (serializes only 1 field):**
+
+```tsx
+async function Page() {
+  const user = await fetchUser()
+  return <Profile name={user.name} />
+}
+
+'use client'
+function Profile({ name }: { name: string }) {
+  return <div>{name}</div>
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 3.5: Parallel Data Fetching with Component Composition
+
+**Impact:** CRITICAL  
+**Tags:** server, rsc, parallel-fetching, composition  
+
+## Parallel Data Fetching with Component Composition
+
+React Server Components execute sequentially within a tree. Restructure with composition to parallelize data fetching.
+
+**Incorrect (Sidebar waits for Page's fetch to complete):**
+
+```tsx
+export default async function Page() {
+  const header = await fetchHeader()
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <div>{header}</div>
+      <Sidebar />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+async function Sidebar() {
+  const items = await fetchSidebarItems()
+  return <nav>{items.map(renderItem)}</nav>
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (both fetch simultaneously):**
+
+```tsx
+async function Header() {
+  const data = await fetchHeader()
+  return <div>{data}</div>
+}
+
+async function Sidebar() {
+  const items = await fetchSidebarItems()
+  return <nav>{items.map(renderItem)}</nav>
+}
+
+export default function Page() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <Header />
+      <Sidebar />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Alternative with children prop:**
+
+```tsx
+async function Header() {
+  const data = await fetchHeader()
+  return <div>{data}</div>
+}
+
+async function Sidebar() {
+  const items = await fetchSidebarItems()
+  return <nav>{items.map(renderItem)}</nav>
+}
+
+function Layout({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <Header />
+      {children}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+export default function Page() {
+  return (
+    <Layout>
+      <Sidebar />
+    </Layout>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 3.6: Per-Request Deduplication with React.cache()
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** server, cache, react-cache, deduplication  
+
+## Per-Request Deduplication with React.cache()
+
+Use `React.cache()` for server-side request deduplication. Authentication and database queries benefit most.
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```typescript
+import { cache } from 'react'
+
+export const getCurrentUser = cache(async () => {
+  const session = await auth()
+  if (!session?.user?.id) return null
+  return await db.user.findUnique({
+    where: { id: session.user.id }
+  })
+})
+```
+
+Within a single request, multiple calls to `getCurrentUser()` execute the query only once.
+
+**Avoid inline objects as arguments:**
+
+`React.cache()` uses shallow equality (`Object.is`) to determine cache hits. Inline objects create new references each call, preventing cache hits.
+
+**Incorrect (always cache miss):**
+
+```typescript
+const getUser = cache(async (params: { uid: number }) => {
+  return await db.user.findUnique({ where: { id: params.uid } })
+})
+
+// Each call creates new object, never hits cache
+getUser({ uid: 1 })
+getUser({ uid: 1 })  // Cache miss, runs query again
+```
+
+**Correct (cache hit):**
+
+```typescript
+const getUser = cache(async (uid: number) => {
+  return await db.user.findUnique({ where: { id: uid } })
+})
+
+// Primitive args use value equality
+getUser(1)
+getUser(1)  // Cache hit, returns cached result
+```
+
+If you must pass objects, pass the same reference:
+
+```typescript
+const params = { uid: 1 }
+getUser(params)  // Query runs
+getUser(params)  // Cache hit (same reference)
+```
+
+**Next.js-Specific Note:**
+
+In Next.js, the `fetch` API is automatically extended with request memoization. Requests with the same URL and options are automatically deduplicated within a single request, so you don't need `React.cache()` for `fetch` calls. However, `React.cache()` is still essential for other async tasks:
+
+- Database queries (Prisma, Drizzle, etc.)
+- Heavy computations
+- Authentication checks
+- File system operations
+- Any non-fetch async work
+
+Use `React.cache()` to deduplicate these operations across your component tree.
+
+Reference: [React.cache documentation](https://react.dev/reference/react/cache)

+
+## Rule 3.7: Use after() for Non-Blocking Operations
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** server, async, logging, analytics, side-effects  
+
+## Use after() for Non-Blocking Operations
+
+Use Next.js's `after()` to schedule work that should execute after a response is sent. This prevents logging, analytics, and other side effects from blocking the response.
+
+**Incorrect (blocks response):**
+
+```tsx
+import { logUserAction } from '@/app/utils'
+
+export async function POST(request: Request) {
+  // Perform mutation
+  await updateDatabase(request)
+  
+  // Logging blocks the response
+  const userAgent = request.headers.get('user-agent') || 'unknown'
+  await logUserAction({ userAgent })
+  
+  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ status: 'success' }), {
+    status: 200,
+    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
+  })
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (non-blocking):**
+
+```tsx
+import { after } from 'next/server'
+import { headers, cookies } from 'next/headers'
+import { logUserAction } from '@/app/utils'
+
+export async function POST(request: Request) {
+  // Perform mutation
+  await updateDatabase(request)
+  
+  // Log after response is sent
+  after(async () => {
+    const userAgent = (await headers()).get('user-agent') || 'unknown'
+    const sessionCookie = (await cookies()).get('session-id')?.value || 'anonymous'
+    
+    logUserAction({ sessionCookie, userAgent })
+  })
+  
+  return new Response(JSON.stringify({ status: 'success' }), {
+    status: 200,
+    headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }
+  })
+}
+```
+
+The response is sent immediately while logging happens in the background.
+
+**Common use cases:**
+
+- Analytics tracking
+- Audit logging
+- Sending notifications
+- Cache invalidation
+- Cleanup tasks
+
+**Important notes:**
+
+- `after()` runs even if the response fails or redirects
+- Works in Server Actions, Route Handlers, and Server Components

+# 4. Client-Side Data Fetching
+
+> **Impact:** MEDIUM-HIGH
+> **Focus:** Automatic deduplication and efficient data fetching patterns reduce redundant network requests.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This section contains **4 rules** focused on client-side data fetching.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 4.1: Deduplicate Global Event Listeners
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** client, swr, event-listeners, subscription  
+
+## Deduplicate Global Event Listeners
+
+Use `useSWRSubscription()` to share global event listeners across component instances.
+
+**Incorrect (N instances = N listeners):**
+
+```tsx
+function useKeyboardShortcut(key: string, callback: () => void) {
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const handler = (e: KeyboardEvent) => {
+      if (e.metaKey && e.key === key) {
+        callback()
+      }
+    }
+    window.addEventListener('keydown', handler)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener('keydown', handler)
+  }, [key, callback])
+}
+```
+
+When using the `useKeyboardShortcut` hook multiple times, each instance will register a new listener.
+
+**Correct (N instances = 1 listener):**
+
+```tsx
+import useSWRSubscription from 'swr/subscription'
+
+// Module-level Map to track callbacks per key
+const keyCallbacks = new Map<string, Set<() => void>>()
+
+function useKeyboardShortcut(key: string, callback: () => void) {
+  // Register this callback in the Map
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (!keyCallbacks.has(key)) {
+      keyCallbacks.set(key, new Set())
+    }
+    keyCallbacks.get(key)!.add(callback)
+
+    return () => {
+      const set = keyCallbacks.get(key)
+      if (set) {
+        set.delete(callback)
+        if (set.size === 0) {
+          keyCallbacks.delete(key)
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }, [key, callback])
+
+  useSWRSubscription('global-keydown', () => {
+    const handler = (e: KeyboardEvent) => {
+      if (e.metaKey && keyCallbacks.has(e.key)) {
+        keyCallbacks.get(e.key)!.forEach(cb => cb())
+      }
+    }
+    window.addEventListener('keydown', handler)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener('keydown', handler)
+  })
+}
+
+function Profile() {
+  // Multiple shortcuts will share the same listener
+  useKeyboardShortcut('p', () => { /* ... */ }) 
+  useKeyboardShortcut('k', () => { /* ... */ })
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 4.2: Use Passive Event Listeners for Scrolling Performance
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** client, event-listeners, scrolling, performance, touch, wheel  
+
+## Use Passive Event Listeners for Scrolling Performance
+
+Add `{ passive: true }` to touch and wheel event listeners to enable immediate scrolling. Browsers normally wait for listeners to finish to check if `preventDefault()` is called, causing scroll delay.
+
+**Incorrect:**
+
+```typescript
+useEffect(() => {
+  const handleTouch = (e: TouchEvent) => console.log(e.touches[0].clientX)
+  const handleWheel = (e: WheelEvent) => console.log(e.deltaY)
+  
+  document.addEventListener('touchstart', handleTouch)
+  document.addEventListener('wheel', handleWheel)
+  
+  return () => {
+    document.removeEventListener('touchstart', handleTouch)
+    document.removeEventListener('wheel', handleWheel)
+  }
+}, [])
+```
+
+**Correct:**
+
+```typescript
+useEffect(() => {
+  const handleTouch = (e: TouchEvent) => console.log(e.touches[0].clientX)
+  const handleWheel = (e: WheelEvent) => console.log(e.deltaY)
+  
+  document.addEventListener('touchstart', handleTouch, { passive: true })
+  document.addEventListener('wheel', handleWheel, { passive: true })
+  
+  return () => {
+    document.removeEventListener('touchstart', handleTouch)
+    document.removeEventListener('wheel', handleWheel)
+  }
+}, [])
+```
+
+**Use passive when:** tracking/analytics, logging, any listener that doesn't call `preventDefault()`.
+
+**Don't use passive when:** implementing custom swipe gestures, custom zoom controls, or any listener that needs `preventDefault()`.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 4.3: Use SWR for Automatic Deduplication
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM-HIGH  
+**Tags:** client, swr, deduplication, data-fetching  
+
+## Use SWR for Automatic Deduplication
+
+SWR enables request deduplication, caching, and revalidation across component instances.
+
+**Incorrect (no deduplication, each instance fetches):**
+
+```tsx
+function UserList() {
+  const [users, setUsers] = useState([])
+  useEffect(() => {
+    fetch('/api/users')
+      .then(r => r.json())
+      .then(setUsers)
+  }, [])
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (multiple instances share one request):**
+
+```tsx
+import useSWR from 'swr'
+
+function UserList() {
+  const { data: users } = useSWR('/api/users', fetcher)
+}
+```
+
+**For immutable data:**
+
+```tsx
+import { useImmutableSWR } from '@/lib/swr'
+
+function StaticContent() {
+  const { data } = useImmutableSWR('/api/config', fetcher)
+}
+```
+
+**For mutations:**
+
+```tsx
+import { useSWRMutation } from 'swr/mutation'
+
+function UpdateButton() {
+  const { trigger } = useSWRMutation('/api/user', updateUser)
+  return <button onClick={() => trigger()}>Update</button>
+}
+```
+
+Reference: [https://swr.vercel.app](https://swr.vercel.app)
+

+
+## Rule 4.4: Version and Minimize localStorage Data
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** client, localStorage, storage, versioning, data-minimization  
+
+## Version and Minimize localStorage Data
+
+Add version prefix to keys and store only needed fields. Prevents schema conflicts and accidental storage of sensitive data.
+
+**Incorrect:**
+
+```typescript
+// No version, stores everything, no error handling
+localStorage.setItem('userConfig', JSON.stringify(fullUserObject))
+const data = localStorage.getItem('userConfig')
+```
+
+**Correct:**
+
+```typescript
+const VERSION = 'v2'
+
+function saveConfig(config: { theme: string; language: string }) {
+  try {
+    localStorage.setItem(`userConfig:${VERSION}`, JSON.stringify(config))
+  } catch {
+    // Throws in incognito/private browsing, quota exceeded, or disabled
+  }
+}
+
+function loadConfig() {
+  try {
+    const data = localStorage.getItem(`userConfig:${VERSION}`)
+    return data ? JSON.parse(data) : null
+  } catch {
+    return null
+  }
+}
+
+// Migration from v1 to v2
+function migrate() {
+  try {
+    const v1 = localStorage.getItem('userConfig:v1')
+    if (v1) {
+      const old = JSON.parse(v1)
+      saveConfig({ theme: old.darkMode ? 'dark' : 'light', language: old.lang })
+      localStorage.removeItem('userConfig:v1')
+    }
+  } catch {}
+}
+```
+
+**Store minimal fields from server responses:**
+
+```typescript
+// User object has 20+ fields, only store what UI needs
+function cachePrefs(user: FullUser) {
+  try {
+    localStorage.setItem('prefs:v1', JSON.stringify({
+      theme: user.preferences.theme,
+      notifications: user.preferences.notifications
+    }))
+  } catch {}
+}
+```
+
+**Always wrap in try-catch:** `getItem()` and `setItem()` throw in incognito/private browsing (Safari, Firefox), when quota exceeded, or when disabled.
+
+**Benefits:** Schema evolution via versioning, reduced storage size, prevents storing tokens/PII/internal flags.

+
+## Overview
+
+This section contains **12 rules** focused on re-render optimization.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 5.1: Calculate Derived State During Rendering
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rerender, derived-state, useEffect, state  
+
+## Calculate Derived State During Rendering
+
+If a value can be computed from current props/state, do not store it in state or update it in an effect. Derive it during render to avoid extra renders and state drift. Do not set state in effects solely in response to prop changes; prefer derived values or keyed resets instead.
+
+**Incorrect (redundant state and effect):**
+
+```tsx

+## Rule 5.2: Defer State Reads to Usage Point
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rerender, searchParams, localStorage, optimization  
+
+## Defer State Reads to Usage Point
+
+Don't subscribe to dynamic state (searchParams, localStorage) if you only read it inside callbacks.
+
+**Incorrect (subscribes to all searchParams changes):**
+
+```tsx
+function ShareButton({ chatId }: { chatId: string }) {
+  const searchParams = useSearchParams()
+
+  const handleShare = () => {
+    const ref = searchParams.get('ref')
+    shareChat(chatId, { ref })
+  }
+
+  return <button onClick={handleShare}>Share</button>
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (reads on demand, no subscription):**
+
+```tsx
+function ShareButton({ chatId }: { chatId: string }) {
+  const handleShare = () => {
+    const params = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search)
+    const ref = params.get('ref')
+    shareChat(chatId, { ref })
+  }
+
+  return <button onClick={handleShare}>Share</button>
+}

+
+## Rule 5.3: Do not wrap a simple expression with a primitive result type in useMemo
+
+**Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rerender, useMemo, optimization  
+
+## Do not wrap a simple expression with a primitive result type in useMemo
+
+When an expression is simple (few logical or arithmetical operators) and has a primitive result type (boolean, number, string), do not wrap it in `useMemo`.
+Calling `useMemo` and comparing hook dependencies may consume more resources than the expression itself.
+
+**Incorrect:**
+
+```tsx
+function Header({ user, notifications }: Props) {
+  const isLoading = useMemo(() => {
+    return user.isLoading || notifications.isLoading
+  }, [user.isLoading, notifications.isLoading])
+
+  if (isLoading) return <Skeleton />
+  // return some markup
+}
+```
+
+**Correct:**
+
+```tsx
+function Header({ user, notifications }: Props) {
+  const isLoading = user.isLoading || notifications.isLoading
+
+  if (isLoading) return <Skeleton />
+  // return some markup
+}
+```
+

+
+## Rule 5.4: Extract Default Non-primitive Parameter Value from Memoized Component to Constant
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rerender, memo, optimization  
+
+## Extract Default Non-primitive Parameter Value from Memoized Component to Constant
+
+When memoized component has a default value for some non-primitive optional parameter, such as an array, function, or object, calling the component without that parameter results in broken memoization. This is because new value instances are created on every rerender, and they do not pass strict equality comparison in `memo()`.
+
+To address this issue, extract the default value into a constant.
+
+**Incorrect (`onClick` has different values on every rerender):**
+
+```tsx
+const UserAvatar = memo(function UserAvatar({ onClick = () => {} }: { onClick?: () => void }) {
+  // ...
+})
+
+// Used without optional onClick
+<UserAvatar />
+```
+
+**Correct (stable default value):**
+
+```tsx
+const NOOP = () => {};
+
+const UserAvatar = memo(function UserAvatar({ onClick = NOOP }: { onClick?: () => void }) {
+  // ...
+})
+
+// Used without optional onClick
+<UserAvatar />
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 5.5: Extract to Memoized Components
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rerender, memo, useMemo, optimization  
+
+## Extract to Memoized Components
+
+Extract expensive work into memoized components to enable early returns before computation.
+
+**Incorrect (computes avatar even when loading):**
+
+```tsx
+function Profile({ user, loading }: Props) {
+  const avatar = useMemo(() => {
+    const id = computeAvatarId(user)
+    return <Avatar id={id} />
+  }, [user])
+
+  if (loading) return <Skeleton />
+  return <div>{avatar}</div>
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (skips computation when loading):**
+
+```tsx
+const UserAvatar = memo(function UserAvatar({ user }: { user: User }) {
+  const id = useMemo(() => computeAvatarId(user), [user])
+  return <Avatar id={id} />
+})
+
+function Profile({ user, loading }: Props) {
+  if (loading) return <Skeleton />
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <UserAvatar user={user} />
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Note:** If your project has [React Compiler](https://react.dev/learn/react-compiler) enabled, manual memoization with `memo()` and `useMemo()` is not necessary. The compiler automatically optimizes re-renders.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 5.6: Narrow Effect Dependencies
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** rerender, useEffect, dependencies, optimization  
+
+## Narrow Effect Dependencies
+
+Specify primitive dependencies instead of objects to minimize effect re-runs.
+
+**Incorrect (re-runs on any user field change):**
+
+```tsx
+useEffect(() => {
+  console.log(user.id)
+}, [user])
+```
+
+**Correct (re-runs only when id changes):**
+
+```tsx
+useEffect(() => {
+  console.log(user.id)
+}, [user.id])
+```
+
+**For derived state, compute outside effect:**
+
+```tsx
+// Incorrect: runs on width=767, 766, 765...
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (width < 768) {
+    enableMobileMode()
+  }
+}, [width])
+
+// Correct: runs only on boolean transition
+const isMobile = width < 768
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (isMobile) {
+    enableMobileMode()
+  }
+}, [isMobile])
+```
+

+
+## Rule 5.7: Put Interaction Logic in Event Handlers
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rerender, useEffect, events, side-effects, dependencies  
+
+## Put Interaction Logic in Event Handlers
+
+If a side effect is triggered by a specific user action (submit, click, drag), run it in that event handler. Do not model the action as state + effect; it makes effects re-run on unrelated changes and can duplicate the action.
+
+**Incorrect (event modeled as state + effect):**
+
+```tsx
+function Form() {
+  const [submitted, setSubmitted] = useState(false)
+  const theme = useContext(ThemeContext)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (submitted) {
+      post('/api/register')
+      showToast('Registered', theme)
+    }
+  }, [submitted, theme])
+
+  return <button onClick={() => setSubmitted(true)}>Submit</button>
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (do it in the handler):**
+
+```tsx
+function Form() {
+  const theme = useContext(ThemeContext)
+
+  function handleSubmit() {
+    post('/api/register')
+    showToast('Registered', theme)
+  }
+
+  return <button onClick={handleSubmit}>Submit</button>
+}
+```

+
+## Rule 5.8: Subscribe to Derived State
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rerender, derived-state, media-query, optimization  
+
+## Subscribe to Derived State
+
+Subscribe to derived boolean state instead of continuous values to reduce re-render frequency.
+
+**Incorrect (re-renders on every pixel change):**
+
+```tsx
+function Sidebar() {
+  const width = useWindowWidth()  // updates continuously
+  const isMobile = width < 768
+  return <nav className={isMobile ? 'mobile' : 'desktop'} />
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (re-renders only when boolean changes):**
+
+```tsx
+function Sidebar() {
+  const isMobile = useMediaQuery('(max-width: 767px)')
+  return <nav className={isMobile ? 'mobile' : 'desktop'} />
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 5.9: Use Functional setState Updates
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** react, hooks, useState, useCallback, callbacks, closures  
+
+## 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.

+
+## Rule 5.10: Use Lazy State Initialization
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** react, hooks, useState, performance, initialization  
+
+## Use Lazy State Initialization
+
+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.
+
+**Incorrect (runs on every render):**
+
+```tsx
+function FilteredList({ items }: { items: Item[] }) {
+  // buildSearchIndex() runs on EVERY render, even after initialization
+  const [searchIndex, setSearchIndex] = useState(buildSearchIndex(items))
+  const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
+  
+  // When query changes, buildSearchIndex runs again unnecessarily
+  return <SearchResults index={searchIndex} query={query} />
+}
+
+function UserProfile() {
+  // JSON.parse runs on every render
+  const [settings, setSettings] = useState(
+    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))
+  const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
+  
+  return <SearchResults index={searchIndex} query={query} />
+}
+
+function UserProfile() {
+  // JSON.parse runs only on initial render
+  const [settings, setSettings] = useState(() => {
+    const stored = localStorage.getItem('settings')
+    return stored ? JSON.parse(stored) : {}
+  })
+  
+  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.
+

+
+## Rule 5.11: Use Transitions for Non-Urgent Updates
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rerender, transitions, startTransition, performance  
+
+## Use Transitions for Non-Urgent Updates
+
+Mark frequent, non-urgent state updates as transitions to maintain UI responsiveness.
+
+**Incorrect (blocks UI on every scroll):**
+
+```tsx
+function ScrollTracker() {
+  const [scrollY, setScrollY] = useState(0)
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const handler = () => setScrollY(window.scrollY)
+    window.addEventListener('scroll', handler, { passive: true })
+    return () => window.removeEventListener('scroll', handler)
+  }, [])
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (non-blocking updates):**
+
+```tsx
+import { startTransition } from 'react'
+
+function ScrollTracker() {
+  const [scrollY, setScrollY] = useState(0)
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const handler = () => {
+      startTransition(() => setScrollY(window.scrollY))
+    }
+    window.addEventListener('scroll', handler, { passive: true })
+    return () => window.removeEventListener('scroll', handler)
+  }, [])
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 5.12: Use useRef for Transient Values
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rerender, useref, state, performance  
+
+## Use useRef for Transient Values
+
+When a value changes frequently and you don't want a re-render on every update (e.g., mouse trackers, intervals, transient flags), store it in `useRef` instead of `useState`. Keep component state for UI; use refs for temporary DOM-adjacent values. Updating a ref does not trigger a re-render.
+
+**Incorrect (renders every update):**
+
+```tsx
+function Tracker() {
+  const [lastX, setLastX] = useState(0)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const onMove = (e: MouseEvent) => setLastX(e.clientX)
+    window.addEventListener('mousemove', onMove)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener('mousemove', onMove)
+  }, [])
+
+  return (
+    <div
+      style={{
+        position: 'fixed',
+        top: 0,
+        left: lastX,
+        width: 8,
+        height: 8,
+        background: 'black',
+      }}
+    />
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (no re-render for tracking):**
+
+```tsx
+function Tracker() {
+  const lastXRef = useRef(0)
+  const dotRef = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const onMove = (e: MouseEvent) => {
+      lastXRef.current = e.clientX
+      const node = dotRef.current
+      if (node) {
+        node.style.transform = `translateX(${e.clientX}px)`
+      }
+    }
+    window.addEventListener('mousemove', onMove)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener('mousemove', onMove)
+  }, [])
+
+  return (
+    <div
+      ref={dotRef}
+      style={{
+        position: 'fixed',
+        top: 0,
+        left: 0,
+        width: 8,
+        height: 8,
+        background: 'black',
+        transform: 'translateX(0px)',
+      }}
+    />
+  )
+}
+```

+> **Focus:** Optimizing the rendering process reduces the work the browser needs to do.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This section contains **9 rules** focused on rendering performance.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 6.1: Animate SVG Wrapper Instead of SVG Element
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** rendering, svg, css, animation, performance  
+
+## Animate SVG Wrapper Instead of SVG Element
+
+Many browsers don't have hardware acceleration for CSS3 animations on SVG elements. Wrap SVG in a `<div>` and animate the wrapper instead.
+
+**Incorrect (animating SVG directly - no hardware acceleration):**
+
+```tsx
+function LoadingSpinner() {
+  return (
+    <svg 
+      className="animate-spin"
+      width="24" 
+      height="24" 
+      viewBox="0 0 24 24"
+    >
+      <circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10" stroke="currentColor" />
+    </svg>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (animating wrapper div - hardware accelerated):**
+
+```tsx
+function LoadingSpinner() {
+  return (
+    <div className="animate-spin">
+      <svg 
+        width="24" 
+        height="24" 
+        viewBox="0 0 24 24"
+      >
+        <circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10" stroke="currentColor" />
+      </svg>
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+This applies to all CSS transforms and transitions (`transform`, `opacity`, `translate`, `scale`, `rotate`). The wrapper div allows browsers to use GPU acceleration for smoother animations.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 6.2: CSS content-visibility for Long Lists
+
+**Impact:** HIGH  
+**Tags:** rendering, css, content-visibility, long-lists  
+
+## 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).
+
+---
+
+## Rule 6.3: Hoist Static JSX Elements
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** rendering, jsx, static, optimization  
+
+## Hoist Static JSX Elements
+
+Extract static JSX outside components to avoid re-creation.
+
+**Incorrect (recreates element every render):**
+
+```tsx
+function LoadingSkeleton() {
+  return <div className="animate-pulse h-20 bg-gray-200" />
+}
+
+function Container() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {loading && <LoadingSkeleton />}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (reuses same element):**
+
+```tsx
+const loadingSkeleton = (
+  <div className="animate-pulse h-20 bg-gray-200" />
+)
+
+function Container() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {loading && loadingSkeleton}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+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.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 6.4: Optimize SVG Precision
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** rendering, svg, optimization, svgo  
+
+## Optimize SVG Precision
+
+Reduce SVG coordinate precision to decrease file size. The optimal precision depends on the viewBox size, but in general reducing precision should be considered.
+
+**Incorrect (excessive precision):**
+
+```svg
+<path d="M 10.293847 20.847362 L 30.938472 40.192837" />
+```
+
+**Correct (1 decimal place):**
+
+```svg
+<path d="M 10.3 20.8 L 30.9 40.2" />
+```
+
+**Automate with SVGO:**
+
+```bash
+npx svgo --precision=1 --multipass icon.svg
+```
+

+
+## Rule 6.5: Prevent Hydration Mismatch Without Flickering
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rendering, ssr, hydration, localStorage, flicker  
+
+## 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.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 6.6: Suppress Expected Hydration Mismatches
+
+**Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rendering, hydration, ssr, nextjs  
+
+## Suppress Expected Hydration Mismatches
+
+In SSR frameworks (e.g., Next.js), some values are intentionally different on server vs client (random IDs, dates, locale/timezone formatting). For these *expected* mismatches, wrap the dynamic text in an element with `suppressHydrationWarning` to prevent noisy warnings. Do not use this to hide real bugs. Don’t overuse it.
+
+**Incorrect (known mismatch warnings):**
+
+```tsx
+function Timestamp() {
+  return <span>{new Date().toLocaleString()}</span>
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (suppress expected mismatch only):**
+
+```tsx
+function Timestamp() {
+  return (
+    <span suppressHydrationWarning>
+      {new Date().toLocaleString()}
+    </span>
+  )
+}
+```

+## Rule 6.7: Use Activity Component for Show/Hide
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** rendering, activity, visibility, state-preservation  
+
+## Use Activity Component for Show/Hide
+
+Use React's `<Activity>` to preserve state/DOM for expensive components that frequently toggle visibility.
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```tsx
+import { Activity } from 'react'
+
+function Dropdown({ isOpen }: Props) {
+  return (
+    <Activity mode={isOpen ? 'visible' : 'hidden'}>
+      <ExpensiveMenu />
+    </Activity>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Avoids expensive re-renders and state loss.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 6.8: Use Explicit Conditional Rendering
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** rendering, conditional, jsx, falsy-values  
+
+## Use Explicit Conditional Rendering
+
+Use explicit ternary operators (`? :`) instead of `&&` for conditional rendering when the condition can be `0`, `NaN`, or other falsy values that render.
+
+**Incorrect (renders "0" when count is 0):**
+
+```tsx
+function Badge({ count }: { count: number }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {count && <span className="badge">{count}</span>}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+// When count = 0, renders: <div>0</div>
+// When count = 5, renders: <div><span class="badge">5</span></div>
+```
+
+**Correct (renders nothing when count is 0):**
+
+```tsx
+function Badge({ count }: { count: number }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {count > 0 ? <span className="badge">{count}</span> : null}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+
+// When count = 0, renders: <div></div>
+// When count = 5, renders: <div><span class="badge">5</span></div>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 6.9: Use useTransition Over Manual Loading States
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** rendering, transitions, useTransition, loading, state  
+
+## 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 (
+    <>
+      <input onChange={(e) => handleSearch(e.target.value)} />
+      {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

+> **Focus:** Micro-optimizations for hot paths can add up to meaningful improvements.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This section contains **12 rules** focused on javascript performance.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 7.1: Avoid Layout Thrashing
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** javascript, dom, css, performance, reflow, layout-thrashing  
+
+## Avoid Layout Thrashing
+
+Avoid interleaving style writes with layout reads. When you read a layout property (like `offsetWidth`, `getBoundingClientRect()`, or `getComputedStyle()`) between style changes, the browser is forced to trigger a synchronous reflow.
+
+**This is OK (browser batches style changes):**
+```typescript
+function updateElementStyles(element: HTMLElement) {
+  // Each line invalidates style, but browser batches the recalculation
+  element.style.width = '100px'
+  element.style.height = '200px'
+  element.style.backgroundColor = 'blue'
+  element.style.border = '1px solid black'
+}
+```
+
+**Incorrect (interleaved reads and writes force reflows):**
+```typescript
+function layoutThrashing(element: HTMLElement) {
+  element.style.width = '100px'
+  const width = element.offsetWidth  // Forces reflow
+  element.style.height = '200px'
+  const height = element.offsetHeight  // Forces another reflow
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (batch writes, then read once):**
+```typescript
+function updateElementStyles(element: HTMLElement) {
+  // Batch all writes together
+  element.style.width = '100px'
+  element.style.height = '200px'
+  element.style.backgroundColor = 'blue'
+  element.style.border = '1px solid black'
+  
+  // Read after all writes are done (single reflow)
+  const { width, height } = element.getBoundingClientRect()
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (batch reads, then writes):**
+```typescript
+function avoidThrashing(element: HTMLElement) {
+  // Read phase - all layout queries first
+  const rect1 = element.getBoundingClientRect()
+  const offsetWidth = element.offsetWidth
+  const offsetHeight = element.offsetHeight
+  
+  // Write phase - all style changes after
+  element.style.width = '100px'
+  element.style.height = '200px'
+}
+```
+
+**Better: use CSS classes**
+```css
+.highlighted-box {
+  width: 100px;
+  height: 200px;
+  background-color: blue;
+  border: 1px solid black;
+}
+```
+```typescript
+function updateElementStyles(element: HTMLElement) {
+  element.classList.add('highlighted-box')
+  
+  const { width, height } = element.getBoundingClientRect()
+}
+```
+
+**React example:**
+```tsx
+// Incorrect: interleaving style changes with layout queries
+function Box({ isHighlighted }: { isHighlighted: boolean }) {
+  const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>(null)
+  
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (ref.current && isHighlighted) {
+      ref.current.style.width = '100px'
+      const width = ref.current.offsetWidth // Forces layout
+      ref.current.style.height = '200px'
+    }
+  }, [isHighlighted])
+  
+  return <div ref={ref}>Content</div>
+}
+
+// Correct: toggle class
+function Box({ isHighlighted }: { isHighlighted: boolean }) {
+  return (
+    <div className={isHighlighted ? 'highlighted-box' : ''}>
+      Content
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+Prefer CSS classes over inline styles when possible. CSS files are cached by the browser, and classes provide better separation of concerns and are easier to maintain.
+
+See [this gist](https://gist.github.com/paulirish/5d52fb081b3570c81e3a) and [CSS Triggers](https://csstriggers.com/) for more information on layout-forcing operations.

+
+## Rule 7.2: Build Index Maps for Repeated Lookups
+
+**Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** javascript, map, indexing, optimization, performance  
+
+## Build Index Maps for Repeated Lookups
+
+Multiple `.find()` calls by the same key should use a Map.
+
+**Incorrect (O(n) per lookup):**
+
+```typescript
+function processOrders(orders: Order[], users: User[]) {
+  return orders.map(order => ({
+    ...order,
+    user: users.find(u => u.id === order.userId)
+  }))
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (O(1) per lookup):**
+
+```typescript
+function processOrders(orders: Order[], users: User[]) {
+  const userById = new Map(users.map(u => [u.id, u]))
+
+  return orders.map(order => ({
+    ...order,
+    user: userById.get(order.userId)
+  }))
+}
+```
+
+Build map once (O(n)), then all lookups are O(1).
+For 1000 orders × 1000 users: 1M ops → 2K ops.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 7.3: Cache Property Access in Loops
+
+**Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** javascript, loops, optimization, caching  
+
+## Cache Property Access in Loops
+
+Cache object property lookups in hot paths.
+
+**Incorrect (3 lookups × N iterations):**
+
+```typescript
+for (let i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
+  process(obj.config.settings.value)
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (1 lookup total):**
+
+```typescript
+const value = obj.config.settings.value
+const len = arr.length
+for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
+  process(value)
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 7.4: Cache Repeated Function Calls
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** javascript, cache, memoization, performance  
+
+## Cache Repeated Function Calls
+
+Use a module-level Map to cache function results when the same function is called repeatedly with the same inputs during render.
+
+**Incorrect (redundant computation):**
+
+```typescript
+function ProjectList({ projects }: { projects: Project[] }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {projects.map(project => {
+        // slugify() called 100+ times for same project names
+        const slug = slugify(project.name)
+        
+        return <ProjectCard key={project.id} slug={slug} />
+      })}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (cached results):**
+
+```typescript
+// Module-level cache
+const slugifyCache = new Map<string, string>()
+
+function cachedSlugify(text: string): string {
+  if (slugifyCache.has(text)) {
+    return slugifyCache.get(text)!
+  }
+  const result = slugify(text)
+  slugifyCache.set(text, result)
+  return result
+}
+
+function ProjectList({ projects }: { projects: Project[] }) {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {projects.map(project => {
+        // Computed only once per unique project name
+        const slug = cachedSlugify(project.name)
+        
+        return <ProjectCard key={project.id} slug={slug} />
+      })}
+    </div>
+  )
+}
+```
+
+**Simpler pattern for single-value functions:**
+
+```typescript
+let isLoggedInCache: boolean | null = null
+
+function isLoggedIn(): boolean {
+  if (isLoggedInCache !== null) {
+    return isLoggedInCache
+  }
+  
+  isLoggedInCache = document.cookie.includes('auth=')
+  return isLoggedInCache
+}
+
+// Clear cache when auth changes
+function onAuthChange() {
+  isLoggedInCache = null
+}
+```
+
+Use a Map (not a hook) so it works everywhere: utilities, event handlers, not just React components.

+
+---
+
+## Rule 7.5: Cache Storage API Calls
+
+**Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** javascript, localStorage, storage, caching, performance  
+
+## Cache Storage API Calls
+
+`localStorage`, `sessionStorage`, and `document.cookie` are synchronous and expensive. Cache reads in memory.
+
+**Incorrect (reads storage on every call):**
+
+```typescript
+function getTheme() {
+  return localStorage.getItem('theme') ?? 'light'
+}
+// Called 10 times = 10 storage reads
+```
+
+**Correct (Map cache):**
+
+```typescript
+const storageCache = new Map<string, string | null>()
+
+function getLocalStorage(key: string) {
+  if (!storageCache.has(key)) {
+    storageCache.set(key, localStorage.getItem(key))
+  }
+  return storageCache.get(key)
+}
+
+function setLocalStorage(key: string, value: string) {
+  localStorage.setItem(key, value)
+  storageCache.set(key, value)  // keep cache in sync
+}
+```
+
+Use a Map (not a hook) so it works everywhere: utilities, event handlers, not just React components.
+
+**Cookie caching:**
+
+```typescript
+let cookieCache: Record<string, string> | null = null
+
+function getCookie(name: string) {
+  if (!cookieCache) {
+    cookieCache = Object.fromEntries(
+      document.cookie.split('; ').map(c => c.split('='))
+    )
+  }
+  return cookieCache[name]
+}
+```
+
+**Important (invalidate on external changes):**
+
+If storage can change externally (another tab, server-set cookies), invalidate cache:
+
+```typescript
+window.addEventListener('storage', (e) => {
+  if (e.key) storageCache.delete(e.key)
+})
+
+document.addEventListener('visibilitychange', () => {
+  if (document.visibilityState === 'visible') {
+    storageCache.clear()
+  }
+})
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 7.6: Combine Multiple Array Iterations
+
+**Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** javascript, arrays, loops, performance  
+
+## Combine Multiple Array Iterations
+
+Multiple `.filter()` or `.map()` calls iterate the array multiple times. Combine into one loop.
+
+**Incorrect (3 iterations):**
+
+```typescript
+const admins = users.filter(u => u.isAdmin)
+const testers = users.filter(u => u.isTester)
+const inactive = users.filter(u => !u.isActive)
+```
+
+**Correct (1 iteration):**
+
+```typescript
+const admins: User[] = []
+const testers: User[] = []
+const inactive: User[] = []
+
+for (const user of users) {
+  if (user.isAdmin) admins.push(user)
+  if (user.isTester) testers.push(user)
+  if (!user.isActive) inactive.push(user)
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 7.7: Early Length Check for Array Comparisons
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM-HIGH  
+**Tags:** javascript, arrays, performance, optimization, comparison  
+
+## Early Length Check for Array Comparisons
+
+When comparing arrays with expensive operations (sorting, deep equality, serialization), check lengths first. If lengths differ, the arrays cannot be equal.
+
+In real-world applications, this optimization is especially valuable when the comparison runs in hot paths (event handlers, render loops).
+
+**Incorrect (always runs expensive comparison):**
+
+```typescript
+function hasChanges(current: string[], original: string[]) {
+  // Always sorts and joins, even when lengths differ
+  return current.sort().join() !== original.sort().join()
+}
+```
+
+Two O(n log n) sorts run even when `current.length` is 5 and `original.length` is 100. There is also overhead of joining the arrays and comparing the strings.
+
+**Correct (O(1) length check first):**
+
+```typescript
+function hasChanges(current: string[], original: string[]) {
+  // Early return if lengths differ
+  if (current.length !== original.length) {
+    return true
+  }
+  // Only sort when lengths match
+  const currentSorted = current.toSorted()
+  const originalSorted = original.toSorted()
+  for (let i = 0; i < currentSorted.length; i++) {
+    if (currentSorted[i] !== originalSorted[i]) {
+      return true
+    }
+  }
+  return false
+}
+```
+
+This new approach is more efficient because:
+- It avoids the overhead of sorting and joining the arrays when lengths differ
+- It avoids consuming memory for the joined strings (especially important for large arrays)
+- It avoids mutating the original arrays
+- It returns early when a difference is found
+
+---
+
+## Rule 7.8: Early Return from Functions
+
+**Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** javascript, functions, optimization, early-return  
+
+## Early Return from Functions
+
+Return early when result is determined to skip unnecessary processing.
+
+**Incorrect (processes all items even after finding answer):**
+
+```typescript
+function validateUsers(users: User[]) {
+  let hasError = false
+  let errorMessage = ''
+  
+  for (const user of users) {
+    if (!user.email) {
+      hasError = true
+      errorMessage = 'Email required'
+    }
+    if (!user.name) {
+      hasError = true
+      errorMessage = 'Name required'
+    }
+    // Continues checking all users even after error found
+  }
+  
+  return hasError ? { valid: false, error: errorMessage } : { valid: true }
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (returns immediately on first error):**
+
+```typescript
+function validateUsers(users: User[]) {
+  for (const user of users) {
+    if (!user.email) {
+      return { valid: false, error: 'Email required' }
+    }
+    if (!user.name) {
+      return { valid: false, error: 'Name required' }
+    }
+  }
+
+  return { valid: true }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 7.9: Hoist RegExp Creation
+
+**Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** javascript, regexp, optimization, memoization  
+
+## Hoist RegExp Creation
+
+Don't create RegExp inside render. Hoist to module scope or memoize with `useMemo()`.
+
+**Incorrect (new RegExp every render):**
+
+```tsx
+function Highlighter({ text, query }: Props) {
+  const regex = new RegExp(`(${query})`, 'gi')
+  const parts = text.split(regex)
+  return <>{parts.map((part, i) => ...)}</>
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (memoize or hoist):**
+
+```tsx
+const EMAIL_REGEX = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/
+
+function Highlighter({ text, query }: Props) {
+  const regex = useMemo(
+    () => new RegExp(`(${escapeRegex(query)})`, 'gi'),
+    [query]
+  )
+  const parts = text.split(regex)
+  return <>{parts.map((part, i) => ...)}</>
+}
+```
+
+**Warning (global regex has mutable state):**
+
+Global regex (`/g`) has mutable `lastIndex` state:
+
+```typescript
+const regex = /foo/g
+regex.test('foo')  // true, lastIndex = 3
+regex.test('foo')  // false, lastIndex = 0
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 7.10: Use Loop for Min/Max Instead of Sort
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** javascript, arrays, performance, sorting, algorithms  
+
+## Use Loop for Min/Max Instead of Sort
+
+Finding the smallest or largest element only requires a single pass through the array. Sorting is wasteful and slower.
+
+**Incorrect (O(n log n) - sort to find latest):**
+
+```typescript
+interface Project {
+  id: string
+  name: string
+  updatedAt: number
+}
+
+function getLatestProject(projects: Project[]) {
+  const sorted = [...projects].sort((a, b) => b.updatedAt - a.updatedAt)
+  return sorted[0]
+}
+```
+
+Sorts the entire array just to find the maximum value.
+
+**Incorrect (O(n log n) - sort for oldest and newest):**
+
+```typescript
+function getOldestAndNewest(projects: Project[]) {
+  const sorted = [...projects].sort((a, b) => a.updatedAt - b.updatedAt)
+  return { oldest: sorted[0], newest: sorted[sorted.length - 1] }
+}
+```
+
+Still sorts unnecessarily when only min/max are needed.
+
+**Correct (O(n) - single loop):**
+
+```typescript
+function getLatestProject(projects: Project[]) {
+  if (projects.length === 0) return null
+  
+  let latest = projects[0]
+  
+  for (let i = 1; i < projects.length; i++) {
+    if (projects[i].updatedAt > latest.updatedAt) {
+      latest = projects[i]
+    }
+  }
+  
+  return latest
+}
+
+function getOldestAndNewest(projects: Project[]) {
+  if (projects.length === 0) return { oldest: null, newest: null }
+  
+  let oldest = projects[0]
+  let newest = projects[0]
+  
+  for (let i = 1; i < projects.length; i++) {
+    if (projects[i].updatedAt < oldest.updatedAt) oldest = projects[i]
+    if (projects[i].updatedAt > newest.updatedAt) newest = projects[i]
+  }
+  
+  return { oldest, newest }
+}
+```
+
+Single pass through the array, no copying, no sorting.
+
+**Alternative (Math.min/Math.max for small arrays):**
+
+```typescript
+const numbers = [5, 2, 8, 1, 9]
+const min = Math.min(...numbers)
+const max = Math.max(...numbers)
+```
+
+This works for small arrays, but can be slower or just throw an error for very large arrays due to spread operator limitations. Maximal array length is approximately 124000 in Chrome 143 and 638000 in Safari 18; exact numbers may vary - see [the fiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/qw1jabsx/4/). Use the loop approach for reliability.

+
+## Rule 7.11: Use Set/Map for O(1) Lookups
+
+**Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** javascript, set, map, data-structures, performance  
+
+## Use Set/Map for O(1) Lookups
+
+Convert arrays to Set/Map for repeated membership checks.
+
+**Incorrect (O(n) per check):**
+
+```typescript
+const allowedIds = ['a', 'b', 'c', ...]
+items.filter(item => allowedIds.includes(item.id))
+```
+
+**Correct (O(1) per check):**
+
+```typescript
+const allowedIds = new Set(['a', 'b', 'c', ...])
+items.filter(item => allowedIds.has(item.id))
+```
+
+---
+
+## Rule 7.12: Use toSorted() Instead of sort() for Immutability
+
+**Impact:** MEDIUM-HIGH  
+**Tags:** javascript, arrays, immutability, react, state, mutation  
+
+## Use toSorted() Instead of sort() for Immutability
+
+`.sort()` mutates the array in place, which can cause bugs with React state and props. Use `.toSorted()` to create a new sorted array without mutation.
+
+**Incorrect (mutates original array):**
+
+```typescript
+function UserList({ users }: { users: User[] }) {
+  // Mutates the users prop array!
+  const sorted = useMemo(
+    () => users.sort((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name)),
+    [users]
+  )
+  return <div>{sorted.map(renderUser)}</div>
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (creates new array):**
+
+```typescript
+function UserList({ users }: { users: User[] }) {
+  // Creates new sorted array, original unchanged
+  const sorted = useMemo(
+    () => users.toSorted((a, b) => a.name.localeCompare(b.name)),
+    [users]
+  )
+  return <div>{sorted.map(renderUser)}</div>
+}
+```
+
+**Why this matters in React:**
+
+1. Props/state mutations break React's immutability model - React expects props and state to be treated as read-only
+2. Causes stale closure bugs - Mutating arrays inside closures (callbacks, effects) can lead to unexpected behavior
+
+**Browser support (fallback for older browsers):**
+
+`.toSorted()` is available in all modern browsers (Chrome 110+, Safari 16+, Firefox 115+, Node.js 20+). For older environments, use spread operator:
+
+```typescript
+// Fallback for older browsers
+const sorted = [...items].sort((a, b) => a.value - b.value)
+```
+
+**Other immutable array methods:**
+
+- `.toSorted()` - immutable sort

+# 8. Advanced Patterns
+
+> **Impact:** VARIABLE
+> **Focus:** Advanced patterns for specific cases that require careful implementation.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This section contains **3 rules** focused on advanced patterns.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 8.1: Initialize App Once, Not Per Mount
+
+**Impact:** LOW-MEDIUM  
+**Tags:** initialization, useEffect, app-startup, side-effects  
+
+## Initialize App Once, Not Per Mount
+
+Do not put app-wide initialization that must run once per app load inside `useEffect([])` of a component. Components can remount and effects will re-run. Use a module-level guard or top-level init in the entry module instead.
+
+**Incorrect (runs twice in dev, re-runs on remount):**
+
+```tsx
+function Comp() {
+  useEffect(() => {
+    loadFromStorage()
+    checkAuthToken()
+  }, [])
+
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (once per app load):**
+
+```tsx
+let didInit = false
+
+function Comp() {
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (didInit) return
+    didInit = true
+    loadFromStorage()
+    checkAuthToken()
+  }, [])
+
+  // ...
+}
+```

+## Rule 8.2: Store Event Handlers in Refs
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** advanced, hooks, refs, event-handlers, optimization  
+
+## Store Event Handlers in Refs
+
+Store callbacks in refs when used in effects that shouldn't re-subscribe on callback changes.
+
+**Incorrect (re-subscribes on every render):**
+
+```tsx
+function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: (e) => void) {
+  useEffect(() => {
+    window.addEventListener(event, handler)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener(event, handler)
+  }, [event, handler])
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (stable subscription):**
+
+```tsx
+function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: (e) => void) {
+  const handlerRef = useRef(handler)
+  useEffect(() => {
+    handlerRef.current = handler
+  }, [handler])
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const listener = (e) => handlerRef.current(e)
+    window.addEventListener(event, listener)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener(event, listener)
+  }, [event])
+}
+```
+
+**Alternative: use `useEffectEvent` if you're on latest React:**
+
+```tsx
+import { useEffectEvent } from 'react'
+
+function useWindowEvent(event: string, handler: (e) => void) {
+  const onEvent = useEffectEvent(handler)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    window.addEventListener(event, onEvent)
+    return () => window.removeEventListener(event, onEvent)
+  }, [event])
+}
+```
+
+`useEffectEvent` provides a cleaner API for the same pattern: it creates a stable function reference that always calls the latest version of the handler.
+
+---
+
+## Rule 8.3: useEffectEvent for Stable Callback Refs
+
+**Impact:** LOW  
+**Tags:** advanced, hooks, useEffectEvent, refs, optimization  
+
+## useEffectEvent for Stable Callback Refs
+
+Access latest values in callbacks without adding them to dependency arrays. Prevents effect re-runs while avoiding stale closures.
+
+**Incorrect (effect re-runs on every callback change):**
+
+```tsx
+function SearchInput({ onSearch }: { onSearch: (q: string) => void }) {
+  const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const timeout = setTimeout(() => onSearch(query), 300)
+    return () => clearTimeout(timeout)
+  }, [query, onSearch])
+}
+```
+
+**Correct (using React's useEffectEvent):**
+
+```tsx
+import { useEffectEvent } from 'react';
+
+function SearchInput({ onSearch }: { onSearch: (q: string) => void }) {
+  const [query, setQuery] = useState('')
+  const onSearchEvent = useEffectEvent(onSearch)
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const timeout = setTimeout(() => onSearchEvent(query), 300)
+    return () => clearTimeout(timeout)
+  }, [query])
+}
+```
