💡 What: Implemented a dependency-based caching check within the renderStitchedImage process. By tracking the exact state parameters needed for the background (base canvas rendering with crops & overlaps) and bypassing the heavy rendering pipeline if they remain unchanged, we save processing time.

🎯 Why: Every mousemove event triggered a re-render of the entire background base canvas during interactive annotation/drawing, resulting in heavy ctx.drawImage operations per frame which lead to jank and frame drops.

📊 Impact: Restores stable 60FPS during drawing interactions. The heavy background drawing is only calculated once upon state changes rather than per-frame.

🔬 Measurement: Test drawing speed/responsiveness (e.g., using Pen or Rect tool) over a large stitch (3+ images). Redraws in renderStitchedImage should not fire during rapid mouse movements.

Pull request overview

Implements a dependency-based caching guard in PreviewCanvas’s renderStitchedImage to avoid re-running the heavy stitched-background rendering pipeline on every mousemove during interactive drawing.

Changes:

  • Added a dependency comparison + memoization ref intended to reuse the previously rendered base stitched canvas when inputs haven’t changed.
  • Updated package-lock.json (adds @emnapi/* entries and alters some metadata).
  • Added a Jules/Bolt note documenting the optimization approach.
