[1.0.1] - 2026-08-18

Ultra-Low Memory Footprint (~250 MB on 1M+ LOC PRs):
- Validated on Bun's mega pull request (41.3 MB diff, 2,188 files, 1,029,583 lines of code).
- Active memory consumption reduced to ~250 MB RSS (compared to ~2.2 GB in Zed and standard diff viewers — ~9x less RAM).
- No memory leaks or runaway growth during extreme scrolling across 1,000,000+ lines.

18x Faster Time-To-First-File (TTFF):
- Subprocess streaming through GitStreamReader and 64 KB ChunkLineSplitter delivers the initial UI frame in ~400 ms while git diff continues reading in the background.
5.5x Parser Throughput:
- Vectorized contiguous byte scanning processes >950,000 diff lines/sec (>38 MB/s).

8-Byte Coordinate Structures:
- MultiBufferPoint & BufferPoint compressed from 16 bytes to 8 bytes (Int32 storage with @inlinable Int accessors).
- Passes in a single 64-bit ARM64 CPU register (x0), eliminating register spilling and stack allocation during high-frequency cursor/selection operations.
Virtual Range Index Packed to 33 Bytes:
- DisplayMap.ExcerptSliceRange compressed from 96 bytes to 33 bytes (stride: 36 bytes) with ExcerptFlags: OptionSet.
- Fits inside half of a single 64-byte L1 CPU Cache Line, significantly accelerating $O(\log N)$ binary search coordinate translations.

40 KB L1-Cache LCS Matrix:
- LCS dynamic programming matrix converted to a flat 1D stack-allocated [UInt8] buffer (withUnsafeTemporaryAllocation).
- Working memory shrunk from 323 KB to 40.4 KB (an 8x reduction), ensuring 100% data locality inside the Apple Silicon L1 Data Cache.
Zero-Allocation UTF-8 Pointer Tokenization:
- Replaced Array(text) with direct contiguous UTF-8 pointer iteration (withContiguousStorageIfAvailable), eliminating heap allocations per tokenized code line.

Virtual Line Synthesis:
- Removed flat line arrays in favor of on-demand viewport synthesis from ExcerptSliceRange prefix sums.
- Achieved simulated 465+ FPS during rapid scrolling across 1,000,000+ line diffs with instantaneous frame times.

Expanded automated test suite to 56 passing unit & integration tests.
Added dedicated MemoryPackingBenchmarkTests suite for continuous memory layout and micro-benchmark verification.
