💡 What:
Optimized shouldRepaint in _SweepingDotPainter in lib/ui/mesh_radar.dart to check if oldDelegate.orbitRadius != orbitRadius rather than returning true unconditionally.

🎯 Why:
When a CustomPainter delegates animation to the repaint argument of its superclass, returning true unconditionally in shouldRepaint forces a redundant canvas repaint whenever the parent widget rebuilds. The animation state already handles its own repaints via the listenable. This optimization prevents thousands of unnecessary widget rebuilds during the sweep animation.

📊 Impact:
Significantly reduces UI thread workload and memory allocations by avoiding unnecessary Canvas redraws when the parent MeshRadar widget rebuilds (e.g., when the stream of discovered nodes updates).

🔬 Measurement:
Tested via dart analyze and flutter test. Ensure that the sweep animation functions as intended in the MeshRadar without regressions. A journal entry was also added to document this codebase-specific performance pattern.

Summary by Sourcery

Enhancements:

  • Prevent redundant canvas repaints in the MeshRadar sweep painter when only the parent widget rebuilds.

Updated the `shouldRepaint` method in `_SweepingDotPainter` (within `lib/ui/mesh_radar.dart`) to check for changes to static properties rather than unconditionally returning `true`. This prevents unnecessary canvas repaints whenever the parent widget rebuilds, improving UI performance. The dynamic animation is still handled by the `repaint` listenable passed to the `super` constructor.

Also added a journal entry in `.jules/bolt.md` documenting this performance optimization pattern.

Reviewer's Guide

Optimizes the repaint logic of the MeshRadar sweeping dot custom painter so that it only repaints when its static orbit radius changes, avoiding unnecessary canvas redraws on parent rebuilds.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Optimize _SweepingDotPainter.shouldRepaint to avoid unnecessary repaints driven by parent widget rebuilds.
  • Replace unconditional true return in shouldRepaint with a comparison between oldDelegate.orbitRadius and orbitRadius.
  • Document the performance rationale in comments, noting that the animation is already driven by the repaint listenable passed to the superclass.
  • Ensure behavior remains correct for sweep animation by tying repaints only to orbitRadius changes rather than parent rebuilds.
