From 66d7fee357e2b279efec23910719b043c3c2f893 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roberdan Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 15:50:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf(tui): off-load snapshot refresh from event loop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The dashboard's first paint and every tick refresh were blocking the render loop on `gh pr list` (~1s) and the parallel HTTP fan-out (~25ms), serially. With 50 plans this shows up as a 1-2s black screen at startup and a 1s freeze every 5s during use, plus 200ms keystroke latency. Three changes: 1. Decouple `Client::snapshot()` from the render loop via `mpsc`. The first paint no longer waits for the snapshot — the dashboard shows a skeleton frame immediately and folds data in as it arrives. The periodic tick and `r` keystroke spawn a tokio task; an in-flight flag debounces overlapping refreshes. Adds `AppState::apply_snapshot` so the loop can push a pre-fetched `Snapshot` without re-awaiting. The new method (and the existing `refresh` wrapper) live in a fresh `state_lifecycle` module to keep `state.rs` under the 300-line cap. 2. `gh pr list` runs on `tokio::process::Command` (was `std::process::Command`, which pinned a runtime worker for the duration of the shell-out) and runs concurrently with the HTTP fan-out via `tokio::join!`. Results are memoised for 30s — most refreshes pay zero gh cost. `--limit` reduced from 100 to 50. 3. Drop `EnableMouseCapture` (no handler exists; it stole native scroll and spammed the input poll). Shorten the key-poll window from 200ms to 50ms so keystrokes feel snappy.
