- Cut broad render fanout across the app by replacing shared-store whole-object subscriptions with leaf selectors, memoizing hot chrome boundaries, and isolating disabled global providers from live session/message state. This keeps header controls, composer toolbars, side panels, and other non-hot UI surfaces from repainting on every assistant update or keystroke.
- Rework sidebar session ordering so recent, project groups, and worktree groups derive from one ordering source while avoiding streaming-time thrash. The sidebar now uses a stabilized session snapshot, preserves structural identity for unchanged rows, reads live row status/details per session, and applies a one-shot sort bump on idle->busy instead of continuously resorting during activity.
- Fix chat/input scroll instability by separating viewport-resize handling from message-growth handling, disabling conflicting native scroll anchoring, and stopping textarea autosize from collapsing on every growth keystroke. This removes the multiline typing jiggle during streaming and reduces unnecessary composer rerenders.
- Also gate voice context wiring behind voice-mode enablement and codify the learned render/scroll/order anti-patterns in AGENTS.md so future changes avoid the same classes of regressions.
