PR 57969 restores a feature flags export that virtualized lists still needed after a broader package export was removed in PR 57484 — without reopening that broader export. It…
The common thread here is caching and lifecycle correctness — each of these bugs is about a system doing extra or wrong work because state wasn't being reused or recognized correctly, whether that's a cache key, a component export, or a control's readiness state. If you're touching image loading, view recycling, or…
The fourth PR, from ya-nsh, is a genuine performance addition: a bounded cache for parsed box shadow strings, admitting entries after their second use to avoid paying allocation costs for one-off values.
