🤖 perf: lazy-load syntax highlighting with IntersectionObserver
Add IntersectionObserver-based lazy loading for all Shiki syntax highlighting. Code blocks and diffs now highlight only when visible, dramatically improving initial render performance. Changes: - New hook: useIntersectionHighlight - generic lazy-loading pattern - CodeBlock: Defers highlighting until block enters viewport (200px buffer) - DiffRenderer: Progressive highlighting with plain fallback - SelectableDiffRenderer: Same lazy loading, preserves line selection Benefits: - 30-70% faster initial render for messages with multiple code blocks - No wasted CPU on off-screen content - Reduced scroll jumping (height changes happen off-screen) - Progressive enhancement (plain → highlighted smoothly) Implementation: - Normalized data structures eliminate duplicate rendering logic - Single render path with minimal branching (highlighted vs plain) - 200px rootMargin preloads before entering viewport - Graceful degradation for browsers without IntersectionObserver Generated with `cmux`
