⚡ Bolt: Memoize TreeNode in FileExplorer#58
Conversation
- Refactored `FileExplorer` to no longer prop-drill `expandedPaths` and `selectedPath` sets. - Subscribed `TreeNode` directly to specific Zustand selectors `useFileStore(state => state.expandedPaths.has(node.path))` and `useFileStore(state => state.selectedPath === node.path)`. - Wrapped `TreeNode` in `React.memo` to achieve O(1) targeted rendering for specific nodes during file selection and directory toggling.

Pull request overview
Improves FileExplorer rendering performance by eliminating prop-drilling of frequently-changing Zustand state into the recursive TreeNode, and memoizing TreeNode so only affected nodes update on selection/expand changes.
Changes:
- Refactors
FileExplorerto subscribe only tofileTree,isLoading, andrefreshFileTreevia fine-grained Zustand selectors. - Refactors
TreeNodeto readexpandedPaths/selectedPathdirectly from the store and wraps it withReact.memo, usinguseCallbackfor event handlers. - Adds a Bolt learning note documenting the O(N) re-render issue and the selector-based approach.

| ## 2026-04-25 - [Bounded Concurrency for fs.stat] | ||
| **Learning:** Even lightweight I/O operations like `fs.stat` require bounded concurrency (e.g., chunking promises into batches) when operating on an arbitrary or potentially large number of files. Unbounded `Promise.all` can still trigger OS-level 'EMFILE' (too many open files) errors because Node.js attempts to open all file descriptors simultaneously. | ||
| **Action:** Always apply bounded concurrency (like `CONCURRENCY_LIMIT = 20`) for any `fs` operations that iterate over directories or unknown list sizes, not just for reading file contents. | ||
| ## 2024-04-28 - O(N) cascade re-renders in FileExplorer with Zustand\n**Learning:** Prop-drilling large state objects from Zustand to recursive UI components (like tree nodes) creates O(N) re-renders because every single component evaluates top-down when one state changes. React.memo requires complicated state logic to resolve if parents receive all state.\n**Action:** Extract large state reads into fine-grained Zustand selectors directly at the target child component. Zustand manages subscriptions per-component, achieving O(1) targeted updates. |

💡 What: Refactored
TreeNodeto use fine-grained Zustand selectors directly inside the recursive component instead of relying on top-down prop drilling ofexpandedPathsandselectedPath. Wrapped the component inReact.memo().🎯 Why: Previously, any file selection or folder toggle caused the
expandedPathsorselectedPathobject to change at the root ofFileExplorer. BecauseTreeNodewas recursively prop-drilled, this caused every single file and folder component (O(N)) to re-render, creating a severe performance bottleneck for large codebases.📊 Impact: Reduces FileExplorer re-renders from O(N) (entire tree) to O(1) (only the specific node being selected/toggled).
🔬 Measurement: Open a project with many files. Click on a deeply nested file. Use the React Profiler to verify that only the single selected node re-renders, rather than the entire component tree.
