Identified and implemented multiple performance improvements focused on React re-render reduction and state efficiency.

Key changes:

  1. Context Memoization: Added useMemo and useCallback to all toggle and data context providers. This prevents all consumers from re-rendering every time the provider's parent updates, unless the actual state they consume has changed.
  2. Derived State Optimization: In Chat.tsx, replaced a redundant useState + useEffect loop for showEmptyScreen with a direct calculation during render, saving one render cycle on every message update.
  3. Shadowing Bug Fix: Removed redundant MapDataProvider from Chat.tsx that was shadowing the page-level provider, ensuring a single source of truth for map data and reducing component tree depth.
  4. Learnins Logged: Recorded the "Provider Shadowing" anti-pattern and context memoization best practices in the Bolt journal.

These changes combined make the application UI feel more responsive, especially during active chat streaming and map interactions.

- Memoize all Context Provider values and functions to reduce unnecessary re-renders.
- Replace redundant `useState`/`useEffect` with derived state in `Chat.tsx`.
- Fix `MapDataProvider` shadowing bug by moving provider to page level and removing redundant instances.
- Document performance patterns in `.jules/bolt.md`.

Overall the changes are directionally good and should reduce rerenders. A few hooks have avoidable maintainability pitfalls: toggleCalendar should include startTransition in its useCallback deps, MapLoadingProvider adds an unnecessary wrapper around a stable state setter, and MapDataProvider’s useMemo deps should be made consistent (or explicitly justified).

Additional notes (3)
  • Maintainability | components/calendar-toggle-context.tsx:21-33
    toggleCalendar closes over startTransition but the callback has an empty dependency array. This is usually stable, but it’s safer and clearer to include startTransition in the deps so the hook is correct even if React changes stability guarantees or this code is refactored.

Also, memoizing the context value is good, but you can simplify the dependency list by ensuring the callback deps are correct.

  • Readability | components/map-loading-context.tsx:11-22
    setIsMapLoadedCallback is just a thin wrapper over the setIsMapLoaded state setter. React guarantees state setters are stable, so this extra callback adds complexity without benefit.

You can still keep value memoization, but avoid wrapping stable setters unless you’re transforming inputs or adding logic.

  • Maintainability | components/map/map-data-context.tsx:41-52
    The memoized value omits setMapData from the dependency array. While React state setters are stable (so this likely won’t break), this relies on that implicit guarantee and makes the memoization pattern inconsistent with other providers in the codebase.

Either include setMapData for consistency, or document why it’s intentionally omitted.

Summary of changes

Summary

This PR focuses on reducing unnecessary React re-renders and fixing a context-provider layering issue.

✅ React context performance improvements

  • Memoized provider value objects with useMemo across multiple contexts:
    • components/calendar-toggle-context.tsx
    • components/history-toggle-context.tsx
    • components/map-loading-context.tsx
    • components/map-toggle-context.tsx
    • components/map/map-data-context.tsx
    • components/profile-toggle-context.tsx
    • components/usage-toggle-context.tsx
  • Memoized context actions with useCallback (e.g., toggleCalendar, toggleHistory, setMapType).

✅ Chat render-path simplification

  • In components/chat.tsx, replaced useState + useEffect for showEmptyScreen with derived render-time state: const showEmptyScreen = messages.length === 0.

✅ Provider shadowing removal

  • Removed MapDataProvider usage from components/chat.tsx (both mobile and desktop branches) to avoid shadowing a higher-level provider and reduce tree depth.

📝 Documentation

  • Added a journal entry in .jules/bolt.md documenting provider shadowing and context memoization guidance.
