## 2024-05-24 - [React Component Memoization]
**Learning:** In React components like `WorkspaceHome`, when layout state or polling changes trigger parent re-renders, expensive child components like `EmailDetail` will also re-render unnecessarily if not memoized.
**Action:** Always consider `React.memo` for heavy child components that rely on stable props (like IDs) when the parent component has frequent unrelated state updates.

## 2026-08-30 - [Optimize NetworkGraph component rendering]
**Learning:** Heavy visualization components like `NetworkGraph` that instantiate complex third-party DOM-manipulating libraries (e.g., `vis-network`) can cause significant layout thrashing and costly re-instantiations if not memoized, particularly when parent components frequently re-render.
**Action:** Always wrap such heavy leaf components in `React.memo()` to prevent them from re-rendering unless their props change.

📝 Info: Performance benefit is overstated

Parent renders already preserve every graph-effect dependency, so they do not recreate vis-network. memo only avoids the component’s React render work.

🔍 Memoization lacks regression coverage

No test verifies that a parent-only rerender skips NetworkGraph. Repository TDD guidance requires tests for changed production behavior.

Add or update a regression test before merging.

This production change changes whether NetworkGraph renders during parent updates, but this cohort contains no test update. Add a test that re-renders the parent with unchanged inputs and verifies that NetworkGraph is not rendered again or that the vis-network instance is not recreated. If coverage exists in an earlier stack layer, link that test; otherwise this change does not meet the TDD requirement.

As per coding guidelines, TDD is expected: add or update tests before production code changes.

In `@frontend/src/components/NetworkGraph.tsx` at line 162, Add a regression test
for the memoized NetworkGraph component that rerenders its parent with unchanged
inputs and verifies NetworkGraph does not render again or its vis-network
instance is not recreated. Update an existing relevant test if available;
otherwise add coverage using the established testing patterns.
