Freed v26.5.517-dev
Desktop performance pass hardens Friends, feed search, and renderer recovery
Features
- Support Friends graph pinch zoom
Fixes
- Reader, feed, and header polish
- Read-on-scroll tracking now skips a per-row diagnostic event on the active scroll path
- Feed priority ordering now runs in the Automerge workers instead of the normal render path
- Saved toggles plus bulk read and archive actions now update through item patches instead of full document hydration
- Release validation now exercises sidebar resize through the real browser pointer path
- Sync and update reliability fixes
- Freed Desktop now compacts oversized synced article text before hydration and feed writes, cutting the WebKit memory load from large libraries
- Friends account-link suggestions use indexed candidate matching, cutting the 1,600 connection Friends mount benchmark from about 2.1 seconds to about 1.0 second locally
