# Phase 26 Plan 01: Lazy Loading and Vendor Chunk Splitting Summary

**React.lazy code splitting for all 37 page components plus Vite manualChunks for react, react-dom, react-router-dom, @tanstack/react-query, react-markdown vendor bundles**

## Performance

- **Duration:** ~4 min
- **Started:** 2026-04-02T01:57:13Z
- **Completed:** 2026-04-02T02:01:00Z
- **Tasks:** 2
- **Files modified:** 2

## Accomplishments

- Converted all 37 eager page imports in App.tsx to `React.lazy` with named-export re-mapping pattern
- Wrapped `<Routes>` with `<Suspense>` boundary using `<Skeleton>` fallback for route chunk loading
- Added `build.rollupOptions.output.manualChunks` to vite.config.ts producing 4 stable vendor chunks
- Build verified: 4 vendor chunks present in dist/assets/ with no circular dependency errors

## Task Commits

1. **Task 1: Convert App.tsx page imports to React.lazy with Suspense** - `da35021a` (feat)
2. **Task 2: Add manual vendor chunk splitting to Vite config** - `31f25b34` (feat)

## Files Created/Modified

- `ui/src/App.tsx` - Replaced 37 eager named-export page imports with React.lazy + Suspense boundary wrapping Routes
- `ui/vite.config.ts` - Added build.rollupOptions.output.manualChunks for vendor-react, vendor-router, vendor-query, vendor-markdown

## Decisions Made

- All page files use `export function PageName()` named exports (not default exports), so lazy imports use `.then(m => ({ default: m.X }))` module re-mapping to satisfy React.lazy's default export requirement
- Suspense boundary placed at the outer `<Routes>` level rather than per-route — single loading state for any route chunk load
- `@mdxeditor/editor` intentionally excluded from manualChunks per plan guidance (complex internal imports risk circular dependency errors)
- `rehype-highlight` excluded (replaced by manual highlight.js usage in Phase 25)
- `OnboardingWizard` kept eager — renders outside `<Routes>` and is always present in the app shell

## Deviations from Plan

None — plan executed exactly as written. The named-export lazy pattern was correctly anticipated by the plan in step 4 of Task 1.

## Issues Encountered

None — build succeeded on first attempt with all 4 vendor chunks produced and no circular dependency errors.

## User Setup Required

None — no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness

- Route-level code splitting complete: each page loads as its own chunk on demand
- Vendor chunks cached separately from application code (stable browser caching for react, router, query, markdown)
- Ready for Plan 02 (service worker / PWA manifest) and Plan 03 (offline support)
- Main bundle still ~1.7 MB due to mermaid/cytoscape/katex; Plans 02-04 address further splitting or deferral
