Pull request overview
This PR targets frontend rendering performance in the React Flow ERD canvas by avoiding per-frame node.data reference churn when applying search highlight/dim decorations, so TableNode’s React.memo fast-path (prev.data === next.data) can be hit during high-frequency drag updates.
Changes:
- Add a
WeakMap-backed cache for decoratedTableNodeDatawhen computingvisibleNodes, keyed by the stablenode.datareference. - Document the optimization/lesson-learned in
.jules/bolt.md.

💡 What: Introduced a
WeakMapinsidefrontend/src/App.tsx'svisibleNodesto cache the decorated node.datastate keyed by the original, stablenode.datareference.🎯 Why: Previously, dynamically injecting search highlights via object spreads inside
visibleNodescreated a newdataobject reference on every render frame (such as during fast React Flow drag events). This constantly busted the fast-path referential equality check (prev.data === next.data) inReact.memo(used insideTableNode), forcing massive React tree re-renders and visible lag.📊 Impact: Preserves node object identity across frames during position updates, dramatically reducing React tree re-renders and UI latency during drag operations by allowing React to successfully hit memoization caches.
🔬 Measurement: Running the app with a large number of nodes and dragging them will show a significant drop in re-renders and a smoother 60fps experience compared to the previous behavior where every drag frame caused a full node re-render. All tests pass with 100% coverage.
