The transcript viewport draws every frame. Ratatui's Line::render_ref
does grapheme segmentation and span layout, so repeated redraws can burn
CPU during streaming even when the visible transcript hasn't changed.
Introduce TranscriptViewCache to reduce per-frame work:
- WrappedTranscriptCache memoizes flattened+wrapped transcript lines per
width, appends incrementally as new cells arrive, and rebuilds on width
change, truncation (backtrack), or transcript replacement.
- TranscriptRasterCache caches rasterized rows (Vec<Cell>) per line
index and user-row styling; redraws copy cells instead of rerendering
spans.
The caches are width-scoped and store base transcript content only;
selection highlighting and copy affordances are applied after drawing.
User rows include the row-wide base style in the cached raster.
Refactor transcript_render to expose append_wrapped_transcript_cell for
incremental building and add a test that incremental append matches the
full build.
Add docs/tui2/performance-testing.md as a playbook for macOS sample
profiles and hotspot greps.
Expand transcript_view_cache tests to cover rebuild conditions, raster
equivalence vs direct rendering, user-row caching, and eviction.
