+
+## Code Examples
+
+### Incremental Update Pattern
+
+```typescript
+class IncrementalTreeMap {
+  private map: Map<string, TreeNode> = new Map();
+
+  // ✅ O(1) - Add single node
+  addNode(node: TreeNode): void {
+    this.map.set(node.id, node);
+  }
+
+  // ✅ O(k) - Add subtree (k = nodes in subtree)
+  addSubtree(root: TreeNode): void {
+    const queue = [root];
+    while (queue.length > 0) {
+      const node = queue.shift()!;
+      this.map.set(node.id, node);
+      queue.push(...node.children);
+    }
+  }
+
+  // ✅ O(k) - Remove subtree recursively
+  removeSubtree(nodeId: string): void {
+    const node = this.map.get(nodeId);
+    if (!node) return;
+
+    // Collect all descendants
+    const toRemove = [nodeId];
+    let i = 0;
+    while (i < toRemove.length) {
+      const current = this.map.get(toRemove[i]);
+      if (current) {
+        toRemove.push(...current.children.map(c => c.id));
+      }
+      i++;
+    }
+
+    // Remove all at once
+    for (const id of toRemove) {
+      this.map.delete(id);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Comparison Data
+
+### Benchmark Results (simulated based on known complexity)
+
+| Operation | Full Rebuild | Incremental | Speedup |
+|-----------|--------------|-------------|---------|
+| Add 1 node (1000 tree) | 1000 ops | 1 op | 1000× |
+| Remove 1 node (1000 tree) | 1000 ops | 1-10 ops | 100-1000× |
+| Add 10 nodes (1000 tree) | 1000 ops | 10 ops | 100× |
+| Update root reference | 1000 ops | 1 op | 1000× |
+
+### Memory Characteristics
+
+| Approach | Allocations | GC Pressure | Fragmentation |
+|----------|-------------|-------------|---------------|
+| Full Rebuild | O(n) new objects | High (single large GC) | Low |
+| Incremental | O(k) new objects | Low (spread out) | Minimal |
+
+---
+
+## Gotchas & Anti-Patterns
+
+### ❌ Common Mistakes
+
+1. **Forgetting to clean up detached subtrees**
+   ```typescript
+   // ❌ WRONG - Orphans remain in map
+   onDetach(childId: string): void {
+     this.map.delete(childId);
+   }
+
+   // ✅ CORRECT - Remove entire subtree
+   onDetach(childId: string): void {
+     this.removeSubtree(childId);
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Rebuilding when only reference changed**
+   ```typescript
+   // ❌ WRONG - Unnecessary rebuild
+   onRootUpdated(root: WorkflowNode): void {
+     this.map.clear();
+     this.buildMap(root);
+   }
+
+   // ✅ CORRECT - Just update reference
+   onRootUpdated(root: WorkflowNode): void {
+     this.root = root;
+     // Map still valid - node references unchanged
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Optimizing prematurely**
+   ```typescript
+   // ❌ WRONG - Over-engineering for small trees
+   // Don't implement complex incremental logic for <50 nodes
+   // Full rebuild is perfectly fine for small datasets
+   ```
+
+### ✅ Best Practices
+
+1. **Always measure before optimizing**
+2. **Document time complexity in code comments**
+3. **Use TypeScript types to enforce patterns**
+4. **Write benchmarks to verify improvements**
+5. **Consider tree size when choosing approach**
+

+  id: string;

+      this.map.set(node.id, node);
+      queue.push(...node.children);
+    }
+  }
+
+  /**

+   */
+  private addSubtree(root: WorkflowNode): void {
+    const queue = [root];
+    while (queue.length > 0) {
+      const node = queue.shift()!;
+      this.map.set(node.id, node);
+      queue.push(...node.children);
+    }
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Remove subtree from map - O(k) where k = nodes in subtree
+   */
+  private removeSubtree(nodeId: string): void {
+    const node = this.map.get(nodeId);
+    if (!node) return;
+
+    // BFS to collect all descendants
+    const toRemove: string[] = [];
+    const queue = [node];
+    while (queue.length > 0) {
+      const current = queue.shift()!;
+      toRemove.push(current.id);
+      queue.push(...current.children);
+    }
+
+    // Remove all collected nodes
+    for (const id of toRemove) {
+      this.map.delete(id);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```

+
+## Action Items for Your PRP
+
+1. ✅ **Replace full rebuild in `onTreeChanged()`**
+   - Current: `this.nodeMap.clear(); this.buildNodeMap(root);`
+   - Proposed: Just update `this.root = root;`
+
+2. ✅ **Add `childDetached` handler**
+   - Implement recursive subtree removal
+   - Clean up all descendants
+
+3. ✅ **Keep existing `childAttached` handler**
+   - Already optimal - adds only new subtree
+
+4. ✅ **Add benchmarks**
+   - Measure before/after performance
+   - Test with trees of varying sizes
+
+5. ✅ **Document complexity**
+   - Add JSDoc comments with time complexity
+   - Explain incremental approach

+## Problem Summary
+
+### Current Implementation (`/home/dustin/projects/groundswell/src/debugger/tree-debugger.ts`)
+
+```typescript
+onTreeChanged(root: WorkflowNode): void {
+  this.root = root;
+  this.nodeMap.clear();        // ❌ Full clear
+  this.buildNodeMap(root);     // ❌ O(n) rebuild
+}
+```
+
+**Issues**:
+- Time Complexity: O(n) for every tree change
+- Memory Impact: Full Map reconstruction triggers GC
+- Scaling: Becomes expensive with 1000+ node trees
+
+## Solution Summary
+
+### Recommended: Event-Driven Incremental Updates
+
+```typescript
+onEvent(event: WorkflowEvent): void {
+  switch (event.type) {
+    case 'childAttached':
+      // ✅ O(k) - Add only new subtree
+      this.addSubtree(event.child);
+      break;
+
+    case 'childDetached':
+      // ✅ O(k) - Remove only detached subtree
+      this.removeSubtree(event.childId);
+      break;
+
+    case 'treeUpdated':
+      // ✅ O(1) - Just update reference
+      this.root = event.root;
+      break;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- O(1) for single node operations
+- O(k) for subtree operations (k = affected nodes)
+- No GC pressure from Map reconstruction
+- 100-1000× faster for large trees
+
+## Performance Comparison
+
+| Operation | Current | Incremental | Speedup |
+|-----------|---------|-------------|---------|
+| Add 1 node (1000 tree) | O(n) | O(1) | 1000× |
+| Remove 1 node (1000 tree) | O(n) | O(k) | 100× |
+| Update root | O(n) | O(1) | 1000× |
+
+## Key Takeaways
+
+### ✅ Do's
+1. Use incremental updates for trees with >100 nodes
+2. Clean up entire subtrees on detach
+3. Document time complexity in comments
+4. Benchmark before and after optimization
+5. Consider tree size when choosing approach
+
+### ❌ Don'ts
+1. Don't rebuild entire map for single-node changes
+2. Don't leave orphaned descendants in map
+3. Don't optimize prematurely (<50 nodes usually fine)
+4. Don't forget to handle all event types
+
+## Implementation Checklist
+
+- [ ] Add `handleChildDetached()` method with recursive cleanup
+- [ ] Update `onTreeChanged()` to only update root reference
+- [ ] Keep existing `handleChildAttached()` (already optimal)
+- [ ] Add JSDoc comments with time complexity
+- [ ] Write benchmarks to verify improvement
+- [ ] Test with various tree sizes
+- [ ] Update tests to cover incremental updates
