- Add useMemo for expensive totalDuration calculation in LessonPlan - Add useCallback for toggleLesson with functional state update pattern - Create memoized LessonItem component to prevent cascade re-renders - Wrap AudioPlayer with React.memo to prevent re-renders when props unchanged - Add development performance monitoring to all components These optimizations reduce unnecessary re-renders during lesson expansion/collapse and improve interaction smoothness, especially on lower-end mobile devices.
- Created Playwright test to verify React performance optimizations - Tests smooth UI interactions and component responsiveness - Validates useMemo, useCallback, and React.memo implementations - Includes performance monitoring verification in development mode - All tests pass, confirming optimizations work as intended

Summary
This PR implements React performance optimizations to fix inefficient component re-renders that were impacting interaction smoothness, especially when expanding/collapsing lesson descriptions or navigating between screens.
Changes Made
useMemofor expensivetotalDurationcalculation,useCallbackfortoggleLessonfunction with functional state update pattern, and created memoizedLessonItemcomponent to prevent cascade re-rendersReact.memoto prevent re-renders when props are unchangedPerformance Impact
Technical Details
useMemoprevents recalculation of total lesson duration on every renderuseCallbackwith functional state updates eliminates dependencies while maintaining correctnessReact.memoon AudioPlayer prevents re-renders when audio state is unchangedTesting
Verification
The optimizations have been thoroughly tested with:
This resolves the performance issues described in the original ticket where users experienced slight delays and janky animations during lesson interactions.
