Problem

The default (v2) Home screen rendered its thread list with a bare RN FlatList: no recycling, no item equality, and the 60s snooze-minute clock rode in the list's extraData. An extraData change re-renders every cell, so all visible rows — each one a ReanimatedSwipeable + PR subscription — re-rendered once a minute and on every unrelated shell update. The legacy v1 list and the iPad sidebar already use LegendList with recycleItems + itemsAreEqual for the same rows; Home's default path was the outlier.

Change

  • Home v2 list → LegendList with the same recycleItems configuration the sidebar already uses for these rows (drawDistance, estimatedItemSize, getItemType, itemsAreEqual). The legacy v1 toggle is untouched.
  • Minute clock moves from extraData onto items. buildThreadListV2ListItems stamps each row with its precomputed timeLabel, its showTrailingDivider, and — only on rows whose swipe-revealed snooze menu actually shows preset wake times — the snoozePresetMinute. The 60s tick now invalidates exactly those rows through itemsAreEqual instead of the whole list. The gate follows snooze availability, not row variant: the swipe secondary snooze action exists on slim settled rows too (the variant only swaps the primary action).
  • Recycled cells ignore the render closure, so anything a row renders or menus must ride on the item or it goes stale under recycling. Four were audited and moved onto items + into equality: the queued-outbox icon (hasQueuedMessages — an outbox write never touches the thread shell), card move up/down availability (canMoveUp/canMoveDown — a reorder in flight changes availability with no shell update), the shelf headers' preference-loading disabled state, and the snooze menu minute above.
  • Custom snooze sheet is dismissed when a recycled row is reassigned. Row-local customSnoozeOpen state rebinds (render-phase) when the thread identity under the mounted cell changes, so a thread disappearing/reordering while the sheet is open can no longer retarget the submit at the reassigned thread. Same contract ThreadSwipeable enforces via resetKey; no key churn, recycling preserved.
  • Recycler seeded with a measured-average row height (72dp). LegendList's initial container pool is ceil((scrollLength + 2 x 50) / estimatedItemSize) (initial draw distance is capped at 50, not the configured 500), so the previous 92pt estimate seeded ~9 containers on a phone — fewer than the ~11–12 items a shelf-expand puts in view at once, tripping LegendList's dev-mode "no unused container available" pool warning on iOS and Android. Measured heights (slim ~60dp, single-line card ~74dp from a device screenshot, two-line card ~94dp) put the mixed average at ~72–78; seeding 72 starts the pool above that demand, and it did not recur on the seeded device passes. This is a mitigation, not an elimination: once the full drawDistance applies after first layout, a sudden expansion well past the pooled headroom (~25+ items appearing at once) can still create a container on demand — dev-only logging, UI correct, one pass ahead of the measured-height pool growth.
  • Provider glyphs are reference-cached (createThreadRowProviderInstanceResolver) so an unrelated re-render no longer hands every row a fresh providerInstance object and defeats its memo.
  • Shared builder + equality for both screens (Home + sidebar), so item stamps can't drift. One deliberate rendering difference: the sidebar leaves the per-item showTrailingDivider stamp unused because sidebar rows render no Home-style row hairline at all — card rows carry tonal containers in that pane (the hairline branch in ThreadListV2Row/ThreadListV2PendingRow is non-sidebar-only) and slim rows have no hairline branch. Passing the prop there would be a no-op, so omitting it preserves the sidebar's appearance exactly; the stamp still rides the shared items because Home's boundary suppression consumes it, costing the sidebar only the occasional divider-only equality invalidation that re-renders identically. Commented at the render site.

Evidence

Item-equality bench — synthetic 64-row list (15 minute-granular cards, 10 hour cards, 3 approval cards, 2 queued rows, 2 snoozed shelf rows, 32 settled slim rows) through the real builder + threadListV2ListItemsAreEqual. These are item-level equality decisions (which cells the recycler may skip), not on-device render milliseconds.

scenario legacy path this PR
60s minute tick all 64 rows 58 — approval, snoozed-shelf, and header rows stay pinned; the rest carry a live snooze-menu clock
unrelated single-thread shell update all 64 rows (glyph identity churn + no equality) 1
queued-outbox write to one row 0 updates (stale icon until the next shell event) 1 (correct)
move-availability flip (reorder in flight) 0 updates (stale menu entries) 1 (correct)

The remaining per-minute rows are inherent to the current menu design: swipe menu subtitles show absolute wake times, so every snoozable row's menu legitimately refreshes each minute. (If preset subtitles ever move to stable relative labels, per-tick invalidation drops to the minute-granular cards only — measured at 28/64 for this data.) Shell-update churn is the dominant real-world cost: every WS event re-rendered the whole list before; now exactly one row re-renders.

Device passes (primary device, seeded fixtures — a functional pass, not exhaustive stress testing):

  • iOS (iPhone 16 Pro) + Android (Pixel 10 Pro) at e0c3a3f: default v2 Home loads; custom snooze sheet correctly dismissed when its thread was settled from a web client (the wrong-thread snooze this fixes); Home count updated across clients; both snoozed and settled shelves expand and scroll without visual corruption.
  • iOS + Android at code head e8d01cc (the later commits d873fae and 544145f change only comments/PR body, no code): scroll down and back up through expanded shelves — LegendList's dev-mode container-pool warning, present on both devices at earlier heads, did not recur in Metro output during this pass.

Tests

threadListV2.test.ts: equality matrix (all item kinds incl. the new stamps), a fake-timer minute-tick harness asserting exactly which rows the tick may invalidate, snooze-menu gating (capability, snoozed-state, slim-swipe preset freshness), queued-key and move-availability stamps, the shelf-disabled stamp, divider ordering, and the wake-label boundary. thread-provider-instance.test.ts: glyph resolver cache identity/invalidation. A unit test for the snooze-sheet rebind is not practical: mobile's harness has no React renderer that can re-render a new thread into the same mounted row; that path was verified on device instead.

294 tests in src/features/home + src/features/threads pass; tsc --noEmit clean; lint shows no new warnings.

Model/harness: Apex (pi) via T3 Code.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes production list rendering from FlatList-style behavior to recycled cells and adds substantial derived-state and reorder-availability logic across Home and the sidebar. Its tests are extensive, but the recycler lifecycle and behavior-preserving algorithm changes are broad enough to require human review.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Forward showTrailingDivider to sidebar v2 rows.

The item builder computes final-neighbor divider state. The sidebar discards it for both ThreadListV2PendingRow and ThreadListV2Row. Adjacent v2 rows in the sidebar can therefore render without their required trailing divider.

Proposed fix
 <ThreadListV2PendingRow

 <ThreadListV2Row

Fixed the recycler reassignment bug in e0c3a3f: ThreadListV2Row now rebinds its row-local UI state during render when the thread identity under the mounted cell changes and dismisses the custom snooze sheet, so a thread disappearing/reordering while the sheet is open can no longer retarget the submit at the reassigned thread. Same contract ThreadSwipeable already enforces via resetKey; recycling is preserved (no key churn). As a side effect this also clears the pre-existing compiler preserve-manual-memoization skip on the row (lint warnings for the file: 4 on main, 3 here, none new).

A focused unit test for the rebind path is not practical in this repo: mobile's test harness has no React renderer (no react-test-renderer/testing-library), and renderToStaticMarkup mounts fresh each call, so it cannot drive a re-render with a new thread into the same mounted row. The regression scenario (open custom-snooze sheet, delete/reorder the thread underneath, confirm on the reassigned row) is worth one device pass.

**[SUPERSEDED — see the follow-up comment: the Android repro showed the estimate does gate the initial pool (INITIAL_DRAW_DISTANCE = 50), and the estimate was changed to 72 in e8d01cc; the warning did not recur on iOS or Android at that head. Original analysis below, kept for the record; its "cap regime, estimate irrelevant" conclusion was wrong for the short-list case.]

Analyzed the dev-Metro warning seen during the iOS device pass ([legend-list] No unused container available..., debugInfo 9/9/needed4/stillNeeded3 then 11/11/needed4/stillNeeded1). Conclusion: fixture-size artifact, not a sizing bug; estimatedItemSize=92 stays.

  • The warning is IS_DEV-gated in LegendList (react.mjs @3.3.5, warn site ~line 3953) and release builds never emit it; the pool-growth path it warns about is not dev-gated and ran exactly as designed between the two warnings (numContainers self-expanded 9 -> 11).
  • On-demand allocation is graceful: assign(request, containerIndex) adds one container; stillNeeded was 3, then 1 -> at most two extra mounted containers, twice, for a whole scroll session.
  • Both warnings match the pool being capped by list length, not by the estimate: getInitialContainerPoolSize/getExpandedContainerPoolSize clamp the pool to dataLength ("never pool more containers than there are items"). The test fixture has ~9-11 rows total (active threads + shelf headers + a few shelf rows); during shelf-expand scrolling, containers briefly double-booked before released ones are reclaimed, so requests exceeded a pool that equals the item count. That over-allocation cannot be pre-pooled regardless of estimatedItemSize.
  • On realistically long lists the same code path pools min(3x numContainers, numContainers+64) (e.g. ~57 containers for a 9-container viewport span at drawDistance=500), i.e. large headroom; and Home's list is mixed-height (~92pt cards vs ~60pt slim settled rows), so any single estimate is "too large" for the dense sections and "too small" for the card sections - 92 matches the dominant card rows and matches the sidebar precedent (64 for its slim-dominant lists).

No change made; behavior verified correct on device (sheet dismissal, count update, shelf scrolling).

**[SCOPE NOTE at d873fae: the estimate change removes the warning for the observed short-list/expand regime only — after first layout the full drawDistance applies, and a sudden expansion well past the pooled headroom (~25+ items at once) can still create a container on demand, dev-only, self-correcting. Claims in this comment and the PR body narrowed accordingly.]

Follow-up on the legend-list pool warning (my earlier comment under-called it): after the Android repro (numContainers=11, stillNeeded=1), I read the initial-allocation path properly. doInitialAllocateContainers seeds numContainers = ceil((scrollLength + 2 * INITIAL_DRAW_DISTANCE) / estimatedItemSize) with INITIAL_DRAW_DISTANCE = 50 — NOT the configured drawDistance=500 — so on a phone (~800dp scroll length) the 92pt estimate seeded only 9 containers. A shelf-expand puts ~11-12 items in view at once; the re-layout overran the 9-container pool and created containers on demand, one warned pass behind the measured-height pool expansion that follows. The observed debugInfo (pooled=9, then 11, matching item counts) is exactly this regime: while the content span is shorter than viewport+buffer, the pool tracks the item count and the estimate decides whether it starts above or below it.

Fix in e8d01cc: seed with 72 instead of 92. Measured row heights from the Android device screenshot (single-line card = 252px ≈ 74dp at Pixel 10 Pro density), source styles (slim rows min-h-44 + py-2 = 60dp, two-line cards ≈ 94dp): the mixed average is ~72-78, so 72 makes the initial pool ceil(800/72) = 12 >= expand demand (12), and the warning class is gone for the short/expanded-list regime. Long lists were never the problem (initial pool is 3x the container count there, capped +64) and measured spans take over after first layout regardless; under-sizing for two-line cards costs at most the one-pool-expansion pass LegendList already implements. The v1 list on the same screen has used 72 all along.

Revised head for audit: e8d01cc (one-line prop change + comment; no logic change).

**[CORRECTION at the follow-up head: Sol's re-audit caught that item 2's rationale was wrong — the sidebar renders no Home-style row hairline at all (the hairline branch in ThreadListV2Row/ThreadListV2PendingRow is non-sidebar-only; card rows use tonal containers there, slim rows have no hairline branch). The disposition stands — stamp unused in the sidebar, preserved appearance — but because passing the prop would be a no-op, not to preserve a hairline-under-every-row look. Comment and PR body corrected.]

Two low-severity audit callouts on e8d01cc resolved in d873fae (comments/wording only; no behavior change):

  1. Pool warning claim narrowed. The 72dp seed removes the dev-mode container-pool warning for the observed short-list/expand regime (initial pool = ceil((scrollLength + 2x50)/estimate) >= demand). It is a mitigation, not an elimination: after first layout the full drawDistance (500) applies, so a short list suddenly expanding past the pooled headroom (~25+ items at once) still creates a container on demand — dev-only logging, correct UI, self-correcting one pass later via the measured-height pool expansion. HomeScreen constant comment and PR body updated to say exactly this.

  2. Sidebar divider stamp is intentionally unconsumed. The sidebar never passed showTrailingDivider even before this list was recycled — its hairline-under-every-row look is the status quo (and Android renders no row hairlines at all: THREAD_LIST_V2_ROW_DIVIDERS = false), so silently changing it is out of scope for this PR. The stamp still rides the shared items because Home's boundary suppression needs it; the sidebar's only cost is the occasional divider-only equality invalidation, which re-renders identically. Documented at the sidebar render site and in the PR body (the "same wiring" line was overstated and is corrected). CodeRabbit's own latest risk note ("the v2 sidebar does not display the affected divider branch") matches this disposition.

Rationale correction in 544145f (comment-only, per Sol's re-audit of d873fae): the sidebar does not "draw a hairline under every row" — the trailing-hairline branch in ThreadListV2Row's card layout and ThreadListV2PendingRow renders only outside sidebarPane (sidebar cards carry tonal containers; slim rows have no hairline branch). So in the sidebar the showTrailingDivider prop is inert and omitting it is a pixel-for-pixel no-op; the disposition (stamp rides shared items for Home, sidebar leaves it unused) is unchanged, and the source comment + PR body now state that reason. Ready for refreshed audits on 544145f.

…inute tick

The default Home screen rendered the v2 thread list with a bare RN
FlatList: no recycling, no item equality, and the 60s snooze-minute
clock rode in the list's extraData, so every visible row (each one a
ReanimatedSwipeable + PR subscription) re-rendered on every tick and on
every unrelated shell update. The legacy v1 list and the iPad sidebar
already use LegendList with recycleItems + itemsAreEqual for the same
rows; Home's default path was the outlier.

Swap the v2 Home list onto the same LegendList configuration and move
the clock out of extraData and onto the items: each v2-thread item now
carries its precomputed row time, the snooze-menu minute (only for rows
whose menu actually offers snooze presets), and its trailing-divider
flag, so the recycler's equality invalidates only rows whose visible
text or menu moved. The shared equality and the sidebar's wrapper now
match, and the sidebar drops its own minute-tick extraData bust too.
Thread rows also get reference-stable provider-instance objects, which
previously broke the memoized rows' props comparison on every render.
A LegendList cell ignores the render closure while itemsAreEqual says the
item is unchanged, so anything the row renders or menus that lives outside
the item goes stale under recycling. Auditing the swap surfaced four:

- the queued-outbox icon (an outbox write never touches the thread shell),
- the card menu's move up/down availability (a reorder in flight, or its
  commit, changes availability without a shell update),
- the shelf headers' preference-loading disabled state (a recycled header
  would keep the state it mounted with), and
- the swipe-revealed snooze preset menu, which exists on slim settled rows
  too (the variant only swaps the primary action), so the menu minute clock
  was wrongly gated off them.

Stamp all four onto the list items in buildThreadListV2ListItems (queued
keys and move availability arrive as builder inputs the screens already
compute) so they flow through the same equality that gates cell re-renders,
and gate the snooze minute clock on actual snooze availability rather than
row variant.
…eassigned

A recycled cell reassigns the mounted ThreadListV2Row to a different thread
without remounting it. The custom snooze sheet is row-local state bound to
the current thread, so deleting or reordering the thread that opened it left
the sheet mounted with its submit handler retargeted at whichever thread the
cell moved to, snoozing the wrong thread on confirm.

Rebind the row's local UI state during render when the thread identity under
it changes and close the sheet, the same contract ThreadSwipeable's resetKey
already enforces on the swipe layer. Recycling is preserved: no key churn.
…ight

Both device passes hit the LegendList dev warning ("no unused container
available, creating one on demand") while scrolling the expanded
snoozed/settled shelves: iOS debugInfo 9 pooled / stillNeeded 3, Android
11 / stillNeeded 1. Reading the pool math (LegendList 3.3.5): the initial
container count is ceil((scrollLength + 2 * INITIAL_DRAW_DISTANCE=50) /
estimatedItemSize), so on a phone the 92pt estimate seeded only 9-10
containers — fewer than the ~11-12 items a shelf-expand puts in view at
once, so the re-layout overran the pool and created containers on demand
(one warned pass behind the measured-height expansion that follows).

Measured row heights: settled slim ~60dp, single-line cards ~74dp (252px
at Pixel 10 Pro density), two-line cards ~94dp. Seeding with 72 (the
average of the mix that actually sits under the finger, and the constant
the v1 list on this screen already uses) makes the initial pool
ceil(800/72) = 12, which covers the expand demand, removing the warning
class for the short/expanded-list regime where the pool tracks the item
count; LegendList self-corrects to measured spans afterwards, and long
lists pool 3x the estimate-based container count regardless. The prior
"taller bias is safe" note was wrong: the bias was exactly what
under-sized the pool.
…bar divider

Two audit callouts on exact e8d01cc, both wording rather than behavior:

- The pool warning is mitigated for the seeded short-list regime, not
  eliminated: after first layout the full drawDistance applies, so a sudden
  expansion past the pooled headroom (~25+ items at once) still creates a
  container on demand, dev-only, one pass ahead of the measured-height pool
  growth. The constant's comment now says that, and drops a formula that
  described the post-layout span rather than the initial seed.

- The sidebar deliberately does not consume the per-item
  showTrailingDivider stamp: it never passed the prop even before the list
  was recycled, so its hairline under every row is the status-quo look, and
  changing it is out of scope for a perf PR. The stamp still rides the
  shared items (Home needs it); the sidebar's cost is the occasional
  divider-only invalidation that re-renders identically. Commented at the
  render site.
The added comment (and the PR body line it mirrors) claimed the sidebar
keeps drawing a hairline under every row, so omitting `showTrailingDivider`
preserved a look. Wrong: the trailing-hairline branch in ThreadListV2Row's
card layout and ThreadListV2PendingRow renders only outside `sidebarPane`
(sidebar cards carry tonal containers; slim rows have no hairline branch at
all), so in this pane the prop is inert and omitting it is a pixel-for-pixel
no-op. The disposition is unchanged — the stamp rides the shared items for
Home's boundary suppression and the sidebar leaves it unused, costing only
the rare divider-only equality invalidation that re-renders identically —
but the reason now matches the code.

The v2 list stamped Move up/down availability by calling the reorder
planner twice per card on every rebuild. Each call copies and rescans
the ordered section and the hidden-key map, so construction was
quadratic in list size and ran again on every 60s minute tick, shell
update, and reorder receipt - including rows nowhere near the screen.

computeThreadMoveAvailability answers every row of a section in one
pass: exact O(1) adjacency math for up/down swaps (the moved row's new
neighbors are old(i-2)/old(i-1) moving up, old(i+1)/old(i+2) moving
down, checked against the same fast-path/rewrite rules as the planner),
with the reference planner consulted only for the rare reserved-key
collision. Home and the sidebar pass the resulting map to the builder,
which stamps rows by key as before.

A randomized 4000-case property test pins the batch answers against
the reference planner - it caught an index error in the first draft.
Measured per rebuild (node, order keys + hidden keys realistic):
N=64 2.4ms -> 0.08ms, N=256 31ms -> 0.2ms, N=512 125ms -> 0.37ms.

Audit follow-up landed: the quadratic move-availability stamp is now linear per rebuild.

Fix (commit e3c40c8fda2 on this branch — new head for re-audit): buildThreadListV2ListItems no longer calls the reorder planner twice per card. computeThreadMoveAvailability answers up/down availability for an entire section in one pass — exact O(1) adjacency math (after an adjacent swap the moved row lands between old(i−2)/old(i−1) moving up, old(i+1)/old(i+2) moving down, checked against the same fast-path/section-rewrite legality rules as the planner), with the reference planner consulted only for the rare hidden-key collision. Home and the sidebar pass the resulting map to the builder; rows are stamped by key exactly as before, so menu behavior and equality semantics are unchanged. The nowMinute dependency stays (availability must be recomputed when the minute changes which threads count as snoozed/expired in the section), but the per-rebuild cost is now O(N + T) instead of O(N·(N + T)).

Correctness: a randomized 4,000-case property test (threadOrderAvailability.test.ts) asserts the batch answers equal the reference planner's answers row-by-row across keyless rows, hidden reserved keys, non-writable rows, and adversarial one-char key runs — it caught an index error in the first draft. Existing planner tests, the stamped-equality tests (retargeted to the map input), typecheck, knip and vp check pass: 186 files / 1699 tests.

Measurement (availability stamps for all cards per rebuild, node, realistic order keys incl. hidden rows; old = two planner calls per card, new = batch):

N cards old new
64 2.4 ms 0.08 ms
256 31 ms 0.22 ms
512 125 ms 0.37 ms

The old column grows quadratically as expected; the new one stays flat. This cost ran on every 60s minute tick, shell update and reorder receipt, for every row (including recycled/offscreen ones), so the per-tick rebuild work on a typical phone-sized list is now effectively gone.

Caveat, stated plainly: this commit was verified with the unit/property suite and typecheck only — the on-device pass for this exact head was skipped because the shared simulator pool was reclaimed by a concurrent agent session mid-run (the branch tip is JS-only over the previously device-verified native build; no native delta). The stacked removal PR was re-rebased onto this head (tree byte-identical to its previously verified content) at d1cbcdc4f17.

…sing

Thread ids may contain `:`, so `id.slice(0, id.lastIndexOf(":"))` can
mis-split a `${environmentId}:${id}` row id (environment `env`, id
`thread:1` parses as `env:thread`) and falsely lock both move actions
on every such row. Look the row's own environmentId up in a map built
from the section rows, like the reference planner does; the extra map
shares the existing single pass, so the batch stays linear.

The randomized reference-parity test now also draws ids with colons,
and a deterministic test pins the reported case.

…probes

The collision path still fell back to a full planner probe (array copies
and hidden-key rescans) for every row whose fresh key hit a reserved
hidden key - interleaved visible/hidden keys make that quadratic on the
same minute-tick path the batch pass exists to protect. It also stamped
a too-strict rewrite rule: the section rewrite only writes positions
whose key changes, so a non-writable row that already holds its
generated key never blocks its neighbours' moves.

Both planner branches are now mirrored directly: reserved-key walks are
memoized per neighbor key pair (each adjacency is probed by at most two
rows), and rewrite legality uses mismatch/writability tallies over the
spread keys, adjusted per row by a constant-size delta for the swapped
positions. Availability stays exactly the reference planner's answer -
the randomized parity test now also draws colon ids and an all-pairs
reserved fixture, plus the reported [f, gn, null] rewrite case.

Measured on the fully adversarial fixture (every adjacency midpoint
reserved): N=64 0.13ms, N=400 0.50ms per rebuild; per-card planner
probes for the same fixture cost 34.8ms at N=400.

Second perf/parity round landed — head f8c3c408d03 addresses both open findings:

  1. Rewrite-legality parity bug (bulkViable = every(isWritable) too strict): replaced with per-position mismatch/writability tallies over the generated spread keys, delta-adjusted per row for the swapped pair — exactly the reference planner's assignment rule. Reported [f, gn, null] case pinned as a deterministic test; reference reproduces [{w:t0:nb},{w:t2:tn}] and the batch now agrees.
  2. Collision-path quadratic fallback: per-row reference-planner deferral removed entirely; the reserved-key walk is mirrored directly and memoized per neighbor key pair, rewrite legality is O(1) per row via the tallies.

Benchmark (fully adversarial fixture: N visible rows + N−1 hidden rows each holding an adjacency midpoint key; availability for all cards per rebuild):

N batch (new) per-card planner probes
64 0.13 ms 1.02 ms
128 0.17 ms 3.72 ms
256 0.32 ms 14.1 ms
400 0.50 ms 34.8 ms

Parity evidence: randomized 4,000-case reference-parity test (now incl. colon ids, all-pairs-reserved fixture, keyless/adjacent-key adversarial runs), plus full suite 188 files / 1728 tests, tsc, lint, formatting. Stacked removal PR rebased to 112044a56fe.
