Why the change

Reduce Chats–Activity rendering delays while keeping navigation responsive during asynchronous data loading.

Special things to note

• Merge risk: two-way door — revert these JS/cache changes; medium blast radius — both platforms' tab focus, scroll chrome and Activity query lifecycle. Review Host/query isolation, balanced subscriptions, idle-work cancellation and retained scroll positions/unsent answers; no schema, Host API, native dependencies or migration.
• Original measured revisions only (before the later mixed Computer/Cloud list): Android SDK58 Debug evidence: ABBAAB,3runs/version,18switches/version. Median warm longest JS RAF gap452→198ms; largest React commit309→127ms; warm Home-return selected commit476→263ms (9 matched-direction samples/version) includes ADB overhead; candidate Activity selection timestamps were not recorded. Warm ActivityFeed renders15→0 and Home/row renders45→0. This is neither Release nor UI-thread FPS;120FPS remains unqualified in Mobile DM holds 120 FPS in a Release build while streaming and scrolling history #1845. iOS native qualification remains pending.
• QA integrates the independently reviewed dialog refinement fix(mobile): align Android dialogs with OCAT settings #2109; it is not part of this diff. The measured baseline uses the same tab/list code as current main, with the same shared dialog overlay in both versions. Native pairing and pending actions are retained; screenshots show only dedicated QA data. Latest-main conflicts and two cached-query regressions were resolved during review; the Human has requested merge after checks pass.

Change outline

 tap tab
- route-wide count subscription + focused pages rebuild loaded lists
+ tab's own focus state + stable memoized content

 first Activity content
+ shell/title/tabs + bounded skeleton commit first
+ heavy pager/list mounts after a frame opportunity, as a transition
+ idle prefetch once per Host uses the destination's query cache

 Activity queries
+ bounded Host/query cache; cached content survives refresh failure
+ hidden pages detach view subscriptions, shared Host stays connected
+ return: retained content immediately, refresh the loaded page window afterward
+ refresh/load-more/settlement resolve the current query owner when invoked

The mobile Design/Agent guides now require immediate shell/selection feedback, scoped cache/skeleton/error behavior, input/list identity, and separate interaction/data/JS/native-frame measurements. Long lists virtualize; stream-tail updates and history ownership remain required regression scenarios.

Native slow-response comparison: same Other unread tab, light, Chinese, font1,8-second delayed real Host Activity responses. Both versions select the tab without waiting for the response; the fix replaces the initial spinner with a stable skeleton. The rendering-delay improvement is established by the profiles above, not inferred from these stills. Fixed crop x0/y130/width1220/height1500 retains the header/tab/body and omits status/developer chrome.

Measurements and provenance

Validation on integrated head 554d06cbc6b6b5048541c09aa33d0003e408a415: 713 mobile tests passed/8 skipped; root/mobile types, lint and formatting passed. Two review regressions were confirmed failing before their fixes: refocus truncated second-page content, and a cached Retry captured an unavailable Inbox. Regression tests cover pending initial reads with working tabs, cache reuse/failure/Host isolation, observer ownership, cancellation and deferred mounting. Native delayed response proceeds from skeleton to real rows; the temporary delay proxy restores the original phone route. Final-head required CI passed, including both mobile bundles, affected tests and isolated Host smoke; merged as 11d93463945c9230502934f775fadb1a18c4374f. The two cache fixes have automated coverage; native device checks were not rerun in this review. Retaining the loaded item count does not guarantee a fixed anchor across arbitrary server insertions/deletions. The final merge preserves the mixed Computer/Cloud list, filters, enrollment refresh and guarded Cloud navigation from main inside stable HomeContent; its own Cloud subscriptions may rerender covered content. No final-head zero-render measurement is claimed. Original native fixed replay (21,492 characters): history cursor/anchor stayed fixed while more text arrived, Return to latest resumed playback, and the covered ActivityFeed rendered zero times. A separate per-bubble counter was inconclusive: its first probe overcounted reused fibers, and the corrected probe stopped because the previous playback had not completed; no per-bubble or native120FPS conclusion is claimed.

Closes #2111. Refs #1845 and #2028 for broader Release/120FPS qualification.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Switching between Chats and Activity feels more responsive, with fewer unnecessary list updates.
  • Activity shows a loading skeleton while content is being fetched, and keeps existing content visible during refreshes or errors.
  • Returning to previously viewed content can reuse cached results.
  • Activity may begin preparing in the background while you’re on Chats, helping it load sooner when opened.

Refresh, retry, and load-more can silently do nothing after cached Activity content appears. The reported timings also do not establish the intended Chats-to-Activity improvement. Fix the actions and capture comparable timings before merging.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changed implementation, tests, measurement artifact, mobile guidance, and changelog all support [#2111]. Activity and Home changes address navigation feedback, cache and prefetch lifecycle, focus and subscription ownership, deferred mounting, scroll behavior, or related regression coverage. No unrelated schema, Host API, native dependency, or migration change is shown.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is detailed and covers the user problem, issue links, risks, change outline, screenshots, verification results, known evidence limits, and pending native qualification. It does not explicitly state the CI test-plan mode or provide the full iOS/Android system-text acceptance matrix, but it is otherwise mostly complete.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[ #2111 ] The implementation covers immediate tab feedback, deferred Activity content, bounded skeletons, retained Host/query snapshots, refresh-failure retention, focus-scoped subscriptions, idle prefetch cancellation, and related automated regressions. The changed guidance documents the response contract and the summary reports native delayed-response and reading-position evidence. However, the issue requires separate Debug, production-JS, and Release qualification plus separate JS-thread and UI-thread measures. The supplied measurements cover Android SDK58 Debug with a development JavaScript build and JS RAF gaps; the PR explicitly leaves production-JS, Release, and native UI-thread/120 FPS qualification unqualified.

Resolution

Add the #2111-required production-JS and Release before/after measurements, and report JS-thread and UI-thread measures separately. Keep the performance claims limited to the configurations and measures that the evidence covers.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 18 functions across 18 files. (5 skipped: 5 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Review complete for exact head 554d06cbc6b6b5048541c09aa33d0003e408a415, integrated with main 8529db4062ed6adcc8bca9b028aa09e96f7b96f0.

Standards

No unresolved blocking findings. Both merge rounds preserve main navigation/create/join contracts; final integration retains mixed Computer/Cloud rows, filters, enrollment focus refresh and source checks within memoized HomeContent.

Spec

Two P2 findings fixed, both confirmed by failing regressions before the fixes:

• Returning to a query discarded its loaded second page. Activity now refreshes its previously loaded window before publishing, with deduplication, stop and cursor-progress guards.
• Cached Retry used an unavailable or stopped Inbox captured during render. Refresh/load-more/settlement now resolve the current owner at invocation.

No remaining blocker after independent fix and final integration reviews. The measurement summary now compares matched warm Home returns only, 9 samples per version: 476→263ms including ADB overhead. Candidate Activity selection timestamps are unavailable, so no directional latency claim is made for those samples. RAF/commit profiles remain explicitly bound to the original measured revisions, before the later Cloud list integration.

Validation: 713 mobile tests passed, 8 skipped; 14 focused mixed-list/create/search tests passed; root/mobile typecheck, lint, format and root build passed. Latest required CI is running. Existing GitHub before/after images render successfully (both loaded at natural width1220). No native device rerun in this review; iOS/Release/native120FPS remain unqualified. Preserving the loaded count is not a guarantee of an identical reading anchor across arbitrary server inserts/deletions.
