⚡ Bolt: Optimize validation error lookup in VisualEditor#952
Conversation
Replaced O(N*M) array filtering with O(M) useMemo map and O(1) lookups to reduce render overhead when dealing with numerous form fields and validation rules. Co-authored-by: anchapin <6326294+anchapin@users.noreply.github.com>

Hey - I've left some high level feedback:
- Given the new guideline in
.jules/bolt.mdabout preferring simple loops overreducein hot paths, consider rewritingfieldErrorsMap’suseMemoto use aforloop to avoid callback allocations and slightly reduce overhead on very largevalidationErrorsarrays. - When building
fieldErrorsMap, consider initializing the accumulator withObject.create(null)instead of a plain object to avoid potential prototype key collisions and clarify that it’s being used purely as a hash map.

## Overall Comments
- Given the new guideline in `.jules/bolt.md` about preferring simple loops over `reduce` in hot paths, consider rewriting `fieldErrorsMap`’s `useMemo` to use a `for` loop to avoid callback allocations and slightly reduce overhead on very large `validationErrors` arrays.
- When building `fieldErrorsMap`, consider initializing the accumulator with `Object.create(null)` instead of a plain object to avoid potential prototype key collisions and clarify that it’s being used purely as a hash map.Help me be more useful!

Pull request overview
Optimizes VisualEditor field-level validation error lookup to reduce render-time overhead on large forms, and documents the performance learning in the Bolt log.
Changes:
- Precomputes a
fieldErrorsMapviauseMemoto avoid repeatedvalidationErrors.filter(...)calls per field. - Updates
getFieldErrorsto perform O(1) lookups instead of O(M) filtering. - Adds Bolt learnings about avoiding O(N*M) lookups in list renders.

Using a plain object literal as a lookup table can break (and can be security-sensitive) when error.field matches an Object prototype key (e.g. __proto__, constructor, toString). In those cases acc[error.field] may not be an array and .push can throw or mutate the prototype. Consider using Object.create(null) for the accumulator (or a Map) so arbitrary field names are safe.

getFieldErrors falls back to a new empty array literal on every call (|| []). On large forms where most fields have no errors, this still allocates many arrays per render (and FormBuilder calls getFieldErrors multiple times per field). Consider returning a shared EMPTY_ERRORS constant (or using nullish coalescing with a memoized empty array) to avoid unnecessary allocations.
Replaced an O(N*M) array filtering loop in
getFieldErrorscallback with a single-pass O(M)useMemomap lookup inVisualEditor.tsx, reducing render blocking on large forms. Added corresponding learning into.jules/bolt.md.PR created automatically by Jules for task 287371400512358371 started by @anchapin
