What

The terminal renderer reads CLAUDE_CODE_DEBUG_REPAINTS and only captures per-component debug ownership information when it is set, so normal sessions skip that work. Layout caches also moved onto the nodes themselves.

Details
  • Root render nodes are now created with an explicit layout engine config.
  • New per-node fields cachedLayout, pendingClears and scrollCommitStartedAt replace a separate side map.
