Merged: No


Summary

This PR eliminates O(n) complexity scans from the TUI render hot path to enable smooth 60 FPS animations and text selection during streaming sessions with 100+ messages.

Optimizations

  1. Local shimmer detection - Replaced O(all-parts) scan with O(parts-in-message) by searching backwards from last message
  2. Header caching - Cache token/cost calculations with dirty flags
  3. Virtual viewport rendering - Viewport fetches only visible lines via callback, enabling O(1) scrolling regardless of message count
  4. Fast selection updates - Selection highlighting reuses cached blocks without re-rendering markdown/syntax (10-50x speedup, 2-5ms vs 50-100ms)

Performance Impact

  • Before: Laggy animations, sluggish selection (~3-10 FPS with 100+ messages)
  • After: Smooth 60 FPS animations and selection updates

All optimizations include comprehensive inline documentation explaining the approach and performance characteristics.
