 ## 2026-07-17 - [Static Analysis Scan Cache]
 **Learning:** Workspace static analysis recursively crawls all project files, performing regex and string scanning for warnings (e.g. empty blocks, `console.log`, TODO/FIXME). When typing, React's state is updated and the entire file tree is re-scanned repeatedly on every keystroke, which causes significant performance lag and blocking UI in large workspaces.
 **Action:** Use a `WeakMap` to cache computed static analysis results per-item based on the immutable `FileSystemItem` object references. When React does an immutable update, unchanged files retain their reference and bypass re-scanning by using the cache, while only modified files (with new references) are re-evaluated. Old references are automatically garbage collected.

+## 2026-07-18 - [Avoid Expensive Blob Instantiations in Loops]
+**Learning:** Instantiating heavy modern Web API objects like `Blob` inside hot traversal loops to calculate the UTF-8 byte length of raw string content introduces massive GC and CPU performance overheads.
+**Action:** Avoid calling `new Blob([item.content]).size` inside loops. Instead, initialize a single `TextEncoder` instance outside the loop/recursion or at the module level, and call `encoder.encode(content).length` to calculate raw byte sizes with substantially less allocation overhead (~1.93x faster performance and significantly improved memory/GC efficiency).
