A gc-verbose allocation-by-method trace shows ~41–56% of all scroll-time UI-thread allocation is under our column realization, dominated by per-recycle attach machinery: `Dictionary.Resize` (property-store/style-dict growth) ~18.9%, `Border.CreateCompositionVisual` + `Visual.CreateCompositionVisual` ~9%, `StyleBase.Attach` + `Setter.Instance` ~10%, plus `PublishNext` (property/binding notifications) ~29.5% inclusive. Construction is negligible (`BuildCellSlot` 0.6%) — the pool already prevents slot rebuild. +- Root cause (confirmed from Avalonia 12.0.3 source): `VirtualizingStackPanel.RecycleElement` does `RemoveInternalChild` (full visual+logical detach) + `AddInternalChild` (re-attach) per viewport crossing. Every ~115-element column subtree re-runs style-attach, property-store growth, composition-visual creation, and binding re-source on every scroll recycle. +- Fix: recycle IN-PLACE. Replace the horizontal `VirtualizingStackPanel` with a purpose-built `VirtualizingPanel` that keeps column containers attached (`IsVisible=false` when idle, pushed to an idle stack) and re-points DataContext on reuse — the mechanism Avalonia's own DataGrid uses (`DataGridRowsPresenter` keeps rows in `Children`, sets `IsRecycled=true` once, never removes from the tree). This eliminates the re-attach, killing the three attach-specific allocators outright. +- Rejected alternatives (with reasons in Solution Overview): de-styling the cells (~11% ceiling, not worth it), a full custom control abandoning ListBox, a hybrid always-attached layer. + +## Context (from discovery + design review) +- Files/components: + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedRecipeGridView.axaml` — `ListBox` `StepListBox`, `ItemsPanel` = horizontal `VirtualizingStackPanel`, `ItemsSource=StepColumns`, `SelectionMode=Multiple`; frozen parameter-name `ItemsControl` on the left; outer vertical `ScrollViewer`, ListBox scrolls horizontally. Column width = `{DynamicResource TransposedStepColumnWidth}` (uniform across columns). + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedRecipeGridView.axaml.cs` — wires `ContainerPrepared`/`ContainerClearing` (class binder), `SelectionChanged`, Tunnel `PointerPressed` (cell selection/edit entry), Tunnel `KeyDown` (navigation), `OnSelectionRequested`/`ScrollIntoView`. Uses `TransposedGridNavigator`, `TransposedGridSelectionController`, `TransposedTextEditCoordinator`, `TransposedStepColumnClassBinder`. + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedColumnCellsHost.cs` — Decorator; on attach acquires a pooled presenter and binds the column; syncs `IsColumnSelected` from the container ListBoxItem. Its comment already anticipates stable container identity. + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedColumnCellsPresenter.cs` — pooled cell subtree (non-virtualizing StackPanel of ~36 cell Borders); `OnDataContextBeginUpdate` (commit backstop) + `CommitActiveEditor`. + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedColumnCellsPool.cs` — per-surface presenter pool. + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedTextEditCoordinator.cs`, `TransposedGridNavigator.cs`, `TransposedGridSelectionController.cs`, `TransposedStepColumnClassBinder.cs`, `TransposedGridCellLocator.cs` (walks `e.Source` ancestors to the ListBox). +- Avalonia 12.0.3 integration facts (source-verified during design): + - `ItemContainerGenerator` is stateless; the panel owns realization. Its remarks state recycled containers should be hidden (`IsVisible=false`), NOT removed from the panel — a custom `VirtualizingPanel` honoring this is blessed by the contract; VSP violates it. + - `ItemsPresenter.ApplyTemplate` attaches any `VirtualizingPanel` from the `ItemsPanelTemplate`; `ContainerFromIndex`/`IndexFromContainer`/`GetRealizedContainers`/`ScrollIntoView`/`Refresh` dispatch to the panel's abstract overrides. + - `SelectingItemsControl.ContainerForItemPreparedOverride` re-syncs `IsSelected` per realize; `ClearContainerForItemOverride` clears it per unrealize; `UpdateContainerSelection` iterating all `Children` marks idle (hidden) containers deselected — benign. + - VSP recycle sites are `private`/non-virtual (cannot subclass-patch), so a new panel is required, not a VSP subclass. +- Cached reference: Avalonia 12.0.3 source (`VirtualizingPanel`, `VirtualizingStackPanel`, `ItemsControl`, `ItemContainerGenerator`, `ItemsPresenter`, `SelectingItemsControl`) is available under the session scratchpad `avalonia/` for the implementation phase; re-fetch via GitHub MCP (`AvaloniaUI/Avalonia`, tag 12.0.3) if absent. + +## Development Approach +- **testing approach**: Regular (code first, then tests). +- Uniform column width is load-bearing: it makes viewport math exact (`firstIndex = floor(viewportX / W)`, extent = `N * W`), removing VSP's size-estimation/anchor complexity. The panel MUST assume a single fixed `ColumnWidth`. +- Each task fully green before the next. Every task adds/updates headless tests. Preserve behavior: multi-select, tunnel pointer/keyboard, class binding, name-column alignment, ScrollIntoView, edit-commit on recycle. +- **Risk gate on Task 1**: if the keep-attached contract does not hold headlessly (containers still get `DetachedFromVisualTree` on scroll, or ItemsControl fights it), STOP and switch to the fallback (fork `VirtualizingStackPanel` + patch the ~4 recycle sites to keep-attached). Do not force the custom-panel path past a failing contract test. + +## Testing Strategy +- **headless UI tests** (`[AvaloniaFact]`): container reuse across scroll (same instances, no `DetachedFromVisualTree`, bounded `Children.Count`), `ContainerPrepared`/`Clearing` firing, `IsSelected` re-sync, realized-range vs offset, focus-within survives scroll-out, items add/remove/move index mapping, Reset teardown, ScrollIntoView far-index, edit begin→scroll-away→committed, selection correctness after scroll round-trip, name-column row-alignment (bounds comparison). +- **performance gate (manual, Post-Completion)**: same 2100-step recipe + scroll protocol, gc-verbose allocation-by-method; realization-subtree allocation share must drop from ~41–56% to <20%, with `Dictionary.Resize`/`CreateCompositionVisual`/`StyleBase.Attach`/`Setter.Instance` absent from the scroll path. +- **no e2e**: headless Avalonia is the ceiling. + +## Progress Tracking +- Mark `[x]` immediately. `➕` new tasks, `⚠️` blockers. + +## Solution Overview +- **Chosen: option (a)** — `TransposedColumnsPanel : VirtualizingPanel`, recycle-in-place, inside the existing `ListBox`/`ItemsControl` (selection, generator, ContainerPrepared/Clearing all keep working). ~400 lines of owned, testable code; uniform width deletes VSP's hard parts. +- **Rejected (b)** full custom control (re-implements SelectionModel/generation/keyboard/ScrollIntoView — weeks, and DataGrid proves the fix lives in the panel, not the control). **Rejected (c)** hybrid always-attached cell layer (breaks `TransposedGridCellLocator` ancestor walk, splits hit-testing, needs per-frame offset sync). +- **Pool**: kept, demoted to per-surface presenter factory. Under in-place recycle the host never detaches on scroll, so it holds one presenter for life; the pool still serves the surface-swap lifecycle (Reset = real teardown → hosts release presenters into the dying pool). `TransposedColumnCellsHost` stays byte-for-byte unchanged. + +## Technical Details +`TransposedColumnsPanel : Avalonia.Controls.VirtualizingPanel`: +- **State**: `Dictionary _realized`; `Stack _idle`; `ColumnWidth` StyledProperty, marked `AffectsMeasure` (bound in the `ItemsPanelTemplate` to the `TransposedStepColumnWidth` resource; runtime width changes currently arrive only with a new surface = Reset, so no live re-flow requirement — record that assumption); viewport `Rect` from `EffectiveViewportChanged` (same trigger VSP uses). +- **MeasureOverride**: desired = `(Items.Count * ColumnWidth, maxRealizedChildHeight)`; compute exact realize window from viewport (+ small fixed buffer, e.g. 1–2 columns each side); realize that range, unrealize the rest; measure realized children only. Also measure the deferred (TabOnceActiveElement) container if it sits outside the window (VSP does this — the deferred element still gets laid out). +- **Realize(index)**: pop `_idle` (else `generator.NeedsContainer`/`CreateContainer`, then `PrepareItemContainer`, then `AddInternalChild`, then `ItemContainerPrepared` — the generator contract order, matching `VSP.CreateElement`; `AddInternalChild` happens once per physical slot, ever); on reuse: `IsVisible=true`; `generator.PrepareItemContainer(container, item, index)` (re-points DataContext, re-syncs IsSelected); `generator.ItemContainerPrepared(container, item, index)` (fires `ContainerPrepared`). NO `AddInternalChild` on reuse. +- **Unrealize(index)**: `generator.ClearItemContainer(container)` (fires `ContainerClearing`, clears IsSelected); `IsVisible=false`; push `_idle`. NO `RemoveInternalChild`. **Focus/edit deferral (mirror VSP exactly, do NOT simplify to `IsKeyboardFocusWithin`)**: defer unrealizing the container equal to `KeyboardNavigation.GetTabOnceActiveElement(ItemsControl)` (the selection-anchor container — public API, verified 12.0.3), keep measuring/arranging it while deferred, and add a release listener on `TabOnceActiveElementProperty` that unrealizes it once the anchor moves. This is what lets a *selected* open editor scroll offscreen and commit on focus loss, while an *unselected* editor is unrealized (→ `ContainerClearing` → commit hook). Getting this wrong makes the commit-on-scroll-out and focus-survives-scroll-out tests mutually unsatisfiable. +- **ArrangeOverride**: realized (and the deferred anchor) at `(index * W, 0, W, height)`; idle skipped (hidden). Exact uniform-width extent means scroll anchoring is not needed for offset stability (positions never drift from estimation); do not add anchor registration unless a test proves an insert-before-viewport offset jump. +- **ScrollIntoView(index)**: realized → `BringIntoView()`; else realize eagerly, arrange at the exact rect, `BringIntoView()` + one guarded `UpdateLayout()` (public `Layoutable.UpdateLayout`, already the codebase idiom in `TransposedGridNavigator.MoveToNeighborColumn`; `LayoutManager.ExecuteLayoutPass`/`GetLayoutRoot` are INTERNAL in 12.0.3 and unreachable). Guard reentrancy with `_isInLayout`. Exact extent means no triple-pass compensation. +- **OnItemsChanged**: Add → shift `_realized` keys up, invalidate measure. Remove/Replace → **unrealize the removed items' containers** (VSP `RecycleElementOnItemRemoved`), then shift remaining `_realized` keys, `generator.ItemContainerIndexChanged` for shifted realized containers. Move → re-key. Reset → teardown: `ClearItemContainer` on realized containers, `RemoveInternalChild` on ALL children (realized + idle), clear `_idle` (idle were already cleared at unrealize, so do not double-`ClearItemContainer` them) — deliberate, drives pool release on surface swap. +- **Abstract overrides**: `GetRealizedContainers`, `ContainerFromIndex`, `IndexFromContainer`, and `GetControl(NavigationDirection, from, wrap)` — implement `GetControl` like VSP (resolve the direction to a target index and call our own `ScrollIntoView` to realize it), NOT realized-only index±1. The tunnel handler only owns plain arrows (it bails on any modifier); Shift+Arrow / Home/End / Page fall through to ListBox → `GetControl`, so a realized-only implementation would dead-end multi-select keyboard nav at the realization boundary. +- Peak `Children.Count` ≈ viewport columns + buffer (~20–25), never 2100. +- **Eliminated per recycle**: `StyleBase.Attach`+`Setter.Instance` (~10%), property-store `Dictionary.Resize` (~18.9%), `CreateCompositionVisual` (~9%) — built once per container, live forever. **Remaining**: the DataContext re-point notification wave (a subset of the 29.5% `PublishNext`), inherent to showing different data and already paid today via `BindColumn`. + +## What Goes Where +- **Implementation Steps** (checkboxes): the panel, its integration, tests. +- **Post-Completion** (no checkboxes): the manual gc-verbose before/after gate, and the fallback (VSP fork) if Task 1's contract fails. + +## Implementation Steps + +### Task 1: Panel skeleton — keep-attached recycle, contract proven (RISK GATE) + +**Files:** +- Create: `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedColumnsPanel.cs` +- Create: `SemiStep/SemiStep.Tests/UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedColumnsPanelContractTests.cs` + +- [ ] Create `TransposedColumnsPanel : VirtualizingPanel` with `ColumnWidth` StyledProperty (`AffectsMeasure`), `_realized`/`_idle`, minimal `MeasureOverride`/`ArrangeOverride` realizing a viewport-derived index range and hiding (`IsVisible=false`, no `RemoveInternalChild`) the rest; realize via generator contract order (`CreateContainer`→`PrepareItemContainer`→`AddInternalChild`→`ItemContainerPrepared`) with `AddInternalChild` only on first realize, unrealize via `generator.ClearItemContainer`. Implement `GetRealizedContainers`/`ContainerFromIndex`/`IndexFromContainer`, and **stub the two remaining abstract members so it compiles and is null-safe**: `ScrollIntoView` (realized-path `BringIntoView`, else no-op for now — `AutoScrollToSelectedItem` defaults true and WILL call this) and `GetControl` (return null for now). No `NotImplementedException`. +- [ ] Inject the panel into the REAL `TransposedRecipeGridView` for tests via a test-only `ItemsPanelTemplate` override on `StepListBox` (a two-line helper), NOT a scratch view — so Task 4's view-wiring tests and the existing transposed suite can run against the panel from here on. (Task 5 then becomes just the production `.axaml` template line-swap.) +- [ ] Write test: scrolling reuses the SAME container instances (no new instances beyond peak) and NO container raises `DetachedFromVisualTree` during scroll. +- [ ] Write test: `Children.Count` stays bounded (≈ viewport + buffer) at large N. +- [ ] Write test: `ContainerPrepared`/`ContainerClearing` fire per realize/unrealize; `IsSelected` re-syncs from the selection model on realize. +- [ ] Write **focus contract** test (gate-critical): a container that is the `TabOnceActiveElement` (selection anchor) is NOT unrealized when scrolled out of the window (deferred), and IS unrealized once the anchor moves.

the panel was already injected for tests since Task 1, so this only flips production wiring). +- [ ] In `OnContainerClearing`, additionally walk the container and call `TransposedColumnCellsPresenter.CommitActiveEditor()` (the unrealize path replaces the old detach-driven commit for the UNSELECTED-editor case). +- [ ] Write test (unselected-editor branch): begin editing a cell in an UNSELECTED column → scroll the column out → container is unrealized → value committed and `IsEditing` false (this is what `TransposedVirtualizationTests` pins today via detach). +- [ ] Write test (selected-editor branch): begin editing a cell in the SELECTED (anchor) column → scroll out → container is DEFERRED (still editing offscreen) → move focus/anchor away → value committed. Confirm both branches, since an editing cell holds focus and the two go through different paths. +- [ ] Write test: selection is correct after a scroll round-trip (select, scroll away, scroll back, still selected in model + container). +- [ ] Write test: frozen name-column rows stay row-aligned with the scrolling columns (bounds comparison). +- [ ] Run tests — must pass before Task 6 (the existing suite already runs against the panel from Task 3). + +### Task 6: Verify acceptance criteria +- [ ] Confirm the panel replaces VSP and all must-keep behaviors are covered by passing tests. +- [ ] Run full suite: `dotnet test SemiStep/SemiStep.Tests/SemiStep.Tests.csproj` +- [ ] Run formatter: `dotnet format "SemiStep/SemiStep.slnx" --verify-no-changes` +- [ ] The gc-verbose before/after allocation gate is a MANUAL step (needs the live app) — see Post-Completion; mark `[x]` with that note. + +### Task 7: Documentation and cleanup +- [ ] Update `Docs/architecture/recipe-grid-surface.md`: document the recycle-in-place `TransposedColumnsPanel`, why it replaced `VirtualizingStackPanel` (per-recycle detach/re-attach allocation), and that the pool is now a per-surface factory. Record the allocation-gate result. +- [ ] Retire dead pool-cycling comments in the host/template that no longer describe scroll-time behavior. +- [ ] No `CLAUDE.md` change expected (project footer forbids specifics). +- [ ] Move this plan to `Docs/plans/completed/`. + +*(The class-binder "bind once" optimization is deliberately NOT in this plan — no existing test pins idle-container class state, so the suite could stay green while hidden containers silently carry stale-row class bindings. It is recorded as a Post-Completion follow-up.)* + +## Post-Completion +*Manual / external — no checkboxes* + +**Performance gate (manual, the acceptance metric):** +- Reproduce on the RELEASE `RIE` config, ~2100-step recipe, same scroll protocol. Capture before/after: + ``` + dotnet-trace collect --name SemiStep.UI --profile gc-verbose --duration 00:00:20 + ``` + Convert (`dotnet-trace convert --format speedscope`) and compare allocation-by-method on the UI thread. Acceptance: realization-subtree allocation share drops from ~41–56% to <20%; `Dictionary.Resize`, `CreateCompositionVisual`, `StyleBase.Attach`/`Setter.Instance` absent from the scroll path. Residual `PublishNext` from DataContext rebinding is expected and acceptable. + +**Fallback (if Task 1 contract fails):** +- Fork `VirtualizingStackPanel` + `RealizedStackElements` (~1,900 lines) and patch the ~4 recycle sites (`RecycleElement`/`GetRecycledElement` and their fully-recycled variants) to keep-attached (`IsVisible` toggle instead of `RemoveInternalChild`/`AddInternalChild`). Caveat verified during review: VSP's `ScrollIntoView` uses `GetLayoutRoot()` + `LayoutManager.ExecuteLayoutPass()`, both INTERNAL in 12.0.3 — the fork MUST substitute the public `Layoutable.UpdateLayout()` there. Accepted maintenance drift against upstream 12.x. + +**Behavior tradeoffs recorded under keep-attached (verified, accepted):** +- `ClearItemContainer` does NOT clear `DataContext` (ItemsControl contract), so ~20 hidden idle subtrees keep live bindings to stale columns and receive PLC-driven notifications during a run. Harmless visually; clearing DataContext at unrealize would trade it for rebind churn on re-show, so it is correctly not done. +- Idle containers remain in the visual tree (hidden), so they may appear in the automation/accessibility tree (DataGrid's own keep-attached rows share this exposure). Add a one-line manual accessibility spot-check when validating. + +**Follow-up (separate, recorded from earlier rounds, not this plan):** +- Element-count reduction (merge the slot Border with `TransposedLazyCellPresenter`'s Border) trims `CreateCompositionVisual` further — secondary, do only if the gate leaves GC hot. +- Class-binder "bind once" for stable containers (needs a new idle-container class-state test first). +- The stale-after-insert selection gap, `Monitor.Enter` contention residue, and `ExtendSelectionTo` O(K²) batching remain out-of-scope follow-ups.

A fresh cpu trace (build confirmed to contain `TransposedColumnsPanel`, zero `VirtualizingStackPanel`) shows `MeasureOverride` = 13.9s inclusive = 71% of the UI thread, of which `TransposedColumnsPanel.Realize` = 9.6s, dominated by `OnAttachedToVisualTreeCore` (7.8s), `AcquireAndBind` (7.8s), `ApplyStyling` (2.3s), `StyleBase.Attach`/`Style.TryAttach` (2.6s), `Border.CreateCompositionVisual`. +- Root cause (validated against Avalonia 12.0.5 source): the panel keeps the ListBoxItem CONTAINER attached (`AddInternalChild` fires only twice), but on unrealize `ItemContainerGenerator.ClearItemContainer` clears the container's `Content` AND `ContentTemplate`. The item `DataTemplate` is typed (`x:DataType="StepColumnViewModel"`) and cannot match the intermediate `null`, so `FindDataTemplate` falls to `FuncDataTemplate.Default`, which flips `ContentPresenter._recyclingDataTemplate` and DISCARDS the recyclable child subtree. On realize `PrepareItemContainer` restores `Content`, rebuilding the whole ~115-element column subtree from scratch plus two throwaway default-template TextBlocks per cycle. Every rebuild re-attaches the subtree to the visual tree and re-runs `ApplyStyling`/`StyleBase.Attach`/`CreateCompositionVisual` and re-attaches the pooled presenter (`Host.AcquireAndBind` → `Decorator.set_Child`). +- `VirtualizingStackPanel.RecycleElement` calls `ClearItemContainer` the same way, so the custom panel reproduced VSP's dominant cost. The panel keep-attached work is HALF the fix (container no longer detaches/attaches); this plan adds the completing half so a scroll reuse touches nothing but a DataContext re-point. +- Fix: a `TransposedStepListBox : ListBox` that overrides `ClearContainerForItemOverride` (skip the Content/ContentTemplate clear; only clear `IsSelected`) and `PrepareContainerForItemOverride` (re-point `Content` explicitly since base `SetIfUnset` would skip it on a recycled container). Same resolved `IRecyclingDataTemplate` on both prepares → `ContentPresenter` recycles the existing child in place → zero detach/attach, zero style re-attach, zero composition-visual churn, zero junk builds. Plus one panel change: reorder `OnItemsReset` to clear `_realized`/`_deferredElement` before calling `ClearItemContainer`, so the unguarded `IsSelected` clear cannot fire a spurious `Selection.Deselect` mid-reset. + +## Context (from trace + Fable design review, source-verified against AvaloniaUI/Avalonia tag 12.0.5) +- Files: + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedRecipeGridView.axaml` — `ListBox` `StepListBox` (to become `TransposedStepListBox`), item `DataTemplate` = StackPanel with header Border+TextBlock, marker Border, `TransposedColumnCellsHost`. + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedColumnsPanel.cs` — recycle-in-place panel; `RecycleToIdle` calls `ClearItemContainer` + `IsVisible=false`; `OnItemsReset` (lines ~565-597) calls `ClearItemContainer` while containers are still in `_realized` (must reorder). + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedColumnCellsHost.cs` — Decorator that acquires a pooled presenter on `OnAttachedToVisualTree` and releases on detach; after this fix it never detaches on scroll, so `AcquireAndBind`/`ReleasePresenter`/`Child=` cycling stops. + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedColumnCellsPresenter.cs` — has `OnDataContextBeginUpdate` commit backstop that fires before rebind on reuse (already anticipates the in-place DataContext swap this fix makes the normal path). + - `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedRecipeGridView.axaml.cs` — `OnContainerClearing` (edit-commit hook) and class binder. AUDIT FACT (2026-07-16): today this hook is DEAD code — the base clear detaches the subtree synchronously BEFORE `ContainerClearing` is raised (`ItemsControl.ClearItemContainer` runs the override first, then the event), so `GetVisualDescendants` finds no presenter; the commit actually flows through `Host.OnDetachedFromVisualTree → ReleasePresenter → CommitActiveEditor`. After this fix the subtree stays attached at clearing time and the hook becomes the PRIMARY commit path — Task 2 pins that directly with a test. +- This plan builds ON the `transposed-recycle-in-place-panel` branch (the panel keep-attached work is a prerequisite; without it the child detaches WITH the container under VSP and the child-recycle win is void). It is the completing half of the same logical change and should land on the same branch / same eventual PR unless directed otherwise. +- Avalonia 12.0.5 facts verified (do NOT re-derive; re-verify only on framework upgrade): + - `ItemsControl.ClearContainerForItemOverride` clears `Content` and `ContentTemplate`; `SelectingItemsControl.ClearContainerForItemOverride` additionally clears `IsSelected` under a private `_ignoreContainerSelectionChanged` guard. + - `ItemsControl.PrepareContainerForItemOverride` sets `Content` via `SetIfUnset`; `ValueStore.IsSet` returns true after a prior `SetCurrentValue`, so a recycled container that still has `Content` set would be SKIPPED (stale column) — hence the explicit re-point. + - `ContentPresenter.CreateChild` recycles the existing child when old and new content resolve to the SAME `IRecyclingDataTemplate` instance and the child is non-null; the intermediate `null` (typed template can't match) is what defeats recycling today. + - `SelectingItemsControl.ContainerSelectionChanged` no-ops when `IndexFromContainer(control) < 0`; the panel unmaps the container from `_realized` before `RecycleToIdle` in every scroll path, so an unguarded `IsSelected` clear is safe there — but `OnItemsReset` currently clears while still mapped (the one ordering bug to fix). + - `ContainerForItemPreparedOverride` writes a SET `IsSelected` back into the selection model, so `IsSelected` must be cleared on unrealize to avoid selection bleeding onto a reused item. + - `ItemsControl.RefreshContainers()` (fired on `ItemTemplate`/`DisplayMemberBinding` change) relies on `ClearItemContainer` resetting `ContentTemplate`; with the override skipping base, recycled containers would keep the OLD template. `ItemTemplate` is static for this ListBox, so the constraint is dormant — but it must be stated in the subclass comment so a future ItemTemplate swap does not silently no-op. + - The doc comment on `ItemContainerGenerator` ("recycled containers will not be removed from the panel but instead hidden") is STALE relative to 12.0.5 `VirtualizingStackPanel` source (`RecycleElement` calls `RemoveInternalChild`). Do not cite it; the VSP source is the ground truth and is why the keep-attached panel is a prerequisite. + +## Development Approach +- **testing approach**: Regular (code first, then tests). +- Behavior-preserving IN OUTCOME, not in mechanism — be precise about this: the generator contract stays intact (`ClearItemContainer` still called → `ContainerClearing` still fires; source-verified order in 12.0.5 `ItemsControl.cs:727-731` — override runs FIRST, event second), the class binder and existing tests stay green, and only the two `ClearValue`s that destroy the child are skipped with `Content` re-pointed explicitly. But two MECHANISMS change and are covered by new Task 2 tests: the edit-commit path moves from the `Host.OnDetachedFromVisualTree` side-channel (today's real path) to the view's `OnContainerClearing` hook (dead today, primary post-fix), and focus relocation on scroll-out changes from control-destruction to visibility-loss. +- Every task fully green before the next. Preserve: multi-select, tunnel pointer/keyboard nav across the realization boundary, class binding, name-column alignment, ScrollIntoView, edit-commit on scroll-out (both branches), TabOnceActiveElement focus deferral. +- PROCESS RULE (breaks the pattern of the six prior perf rounds): no victory claims on proxy metrics. Seven executed rounds deferred the after-measurement to Post-Completion and never ran it; each round reopened as "no perceptible change". This plan carries its own agent-runnable measurement: a cpu-sampling trace of a scripted headless scenario, captured BEFORE the fix (Task 0) and AFTER (Task 4), compared against pre-committed numbers recorded in this file. The plan is NOT complete until the Task 4 gate numbers are recorded here. Task 0 runs before any production-code change because no probe numbers for the recycle-in-place panel were ever committed — without it the A/B is unrecoverable. +- Pin a `// verified against Avalonia 12.0.5` comment on the overrides; the behavior is version-coupled (`SetIfUnset`/`IsSet`, ClearContainer clearing set). + +## Testing Strategy +- **headless UI tests** (`[AvaloniaFact]`): child-identity across recycle (same `ContentPresenter.Child` and same `TransposedColumnCellsHost` instance after scrolling a container out and back onto a DIFFERENT column, with the new column's header text shown — this kills both the rebuild regression AND the `SetIfUnset` stale-content failure mode); multi-select survival across scroll round-trip (model + `:selected` restored); `OnItemsReset` with an active selection does not mutate the selection model (the reorder invariant); existing transposed suites stay green (commit-on-clearing both branches, contract ContainerClearing/Prepared, items-changed replace/remove rebind). +- **allocation gate (Category=Performance, SEMISTEP_PROBE=1)**: run the existing `TransposedViewAllocationProbe` before and after the fix and record the viewport-jump per-realized-column bytes; add a new probe assertion/counter that counts host re-attaches via the PUBLIC `AttachedToVisualTree` event subscribed on realized `TransposedColumnCellsHost` instances (same technique as Task 3; expected 0 after warmup post-fix; ~1 per recycle today). +- **agent-run cpu trace gate (Task 0 baseline / Task 4 after)**: an env-gated headless scenario test (`SEMISTEP_TRACE_SCENARIO=1`, Category=Performance) drives the real view through a FIXED workload — a fixed number of viewport jumps (e.g. 300 round-trips across ~200 of 2100 columns; pick N so the baseline run takes ≥20s), a fixed change-step-quantity phase (add then remove ~50 steps), and a fixed execution-tick sweep (`IsCurrentStep` walked across ~200 steps). Fixed work, not fixed duration, is load-bearing: the acceptance metric is ABSOLUTE time for the same work, and a fixed-duration loop would let faster code simply do more iterations, erasing the A/B signal. The xunit v3 test executable is launched directly under `dotnet-trace collect --format Speedscope -- -method ...` (child mode, Release test build; traces until process exit, no elevation needed). A small analyzer script parses the speedscope JSON and reports ABSOLUTE inclusive sample time (ms) for a list of frames (`MeasureOverride`, `TransposedColumnsPanel.Realize`, `OnAttachedToVisualTreeCore`, `StyleBase.Attach`, `ApplyStyling`, `AcquireAndBind`) plus presence/absence of the attach/styling frames under scroll-phase `Realize` stacks. Shares are reported for context only — they are NOT gate metrics: the fix shrinks numerator and denominator together (the attach cascade leaves both; the irreducible `BindColumn` rebind stays inside `Realize`), so a `Realize`/`MeasureOverride` ratio barely moves even when the fix fully works. Headless caveat: no Skia/composition (so `CreateSKFont`/`CreateCompositionVisual` are invisible here — those stay in the live Post-Completion check); the rebuild/styling/attach costs this fix targets all run headless and are measurable. +- **live-app visual + trace confirmation (Post-Completion, user)**: final smoothness judgment on the Release RIE app stays with the user; the agent gate above is the blocking acceptance, the live check is confirmation. + +## Progress Tracking +- Mark `[x]` immediately. `➕` new tasks, `⚠️` blockers. + +## Solution Overview +- **Chosen**: `TransposedStepListBox : ListBox` subclass with two container-lifecycle overrides + one panel `OnItemsReset` reorder. Idiomatic (these are the same `protected internal virtual` extension points `SelectingItemsControl` itself overrides), minimal, keeps the generator contract. +- **Rejected**: pure "panel stops calling ClearItemContainer" (breaks `SetIfUnset` stale-content, drops `ContainerClearing`/IsSelected semantics the panel would have to re-implement); stable-control-template trick (the child is physically removed by `UpdateChild` when content nulls; no template survives that); framework "recycle knob" (none exists — the child teardown is hardwired into `ClearContainerForItemOverride`). +- **Out of scope (separate follow-ups, recorded in Post-Completion)**: deleting the now-dead `TransposedColumnCellsHost`+pool indirection; a display-text `TextLayout`/`SKFont` cache for the residual `CreateSKFont` cost. + +## Technical Details +`TransposedStepListBox : ListBox` (new file `SemiStep/SemiStep.UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedStepListBox.cs`): +- `protected override Type StyleKeyOverride => typeof(ListBox);` — MANDATORY. Avalonia resolves the implicit `ControlTheme` (the Semi.Avalonia ListBox template that supplies the ScrollViewer + ItemsPresenter) and bare type selectors by `StyleKey`, which defaults to the concrete runtime type. Without this override the subclass gets no control template (no ScrollViewer, no realized containers) and the type-scoped selectors in `Styles/TransposedGridStyles.axaml` (`ListBox.transposed-grid`, `ListBox.transposed-grid ListBoxItem`, `:selected Border.transposed-cell`) stop matching — every existing transposed test resolves `StepListBox` from the real view and then `GetVisualDescendants().OfType().First()`, so the whole suite breaks. Pointing StyleKey back at `ListBox` restores both. +- `protected override void ClearContainerForItemOverride(Control container)`: do NOT call base. Only `container.ClearValue(ListBoxItem.IsSelectedProperty)`. Comment: skipping base keeps the `ContentPresenter` child alive across recycling; the IsSelected clear is safe unguarded because the panel unmaps the container before clearing (`ContainerSelectionChanged` sees index -1), and `OnItemsReset` is reordered to preserve that. Clearing IsSelected is required in BOTH directions: `ContainerForItemPreparedOverride` writes a SET `IsSelected` back into the selection model, so a container reused from a formerly-selected column onto an unselected column must come back deselected (no selection bleed). +- `protected override void PrepareContainerForItemOverride(Control container, object? item, int index)`: if the container is a `ListBoxItem` that already has `ContentControl.ContentProperty` set (i.e. a recycled container), `SetCurrentValue(ContentControl.ContentProperty, item)` first (base `SetIfUnset` would skip it, leaving the old column). Then call base. Key the guard off `ContentProperty` — the property actually being re-pointed — NOT `ContentTemplateProperty`: `IsSet` also returns true for style/theme-supplied values, so any future style setting `ListBoxItem.ContentTemplate` would flip a template-keyed guard on fresh containers. Note the guard is a redundancy-avoidance optimization, not a correctness gate: a misfire on a fresh container would `SetCurrentValue(Content, item)` with the same item base is about to set — idempotent and harmless in BOTH directions (fresh container with guard true → same value set twice; recycled container with guard false → base `SetIfUnset` sets it because unset). No fresh-path verification is needed beyond the Task 1 child-identity test already asserting the first realize renders the correct column. Same resolved `IRecyclingDataTemplate` → `ContentPresenter` recycles the child; `DataContext` re-point flows to the presenter → `Host.OnDataContextChanged` → `BindColumn`; `OnDataContextBeginUpdate` commits any pending editor before rebind. +- Fresh containers (first realize) are unaffected: they are prepared before `AddInternalChild`, so the `IsSet(Content)` guard is false and the single real build happens on the stock path. +- Known, intended consequence (state it honestly in the subclass comment): because the base clear is skipped, an idle container keeps `Content`/`DataContext` = its last-bound `StepColumnViewModel` with the full binding graph LIVE (header `Row.StepNumber`, `IsCurrentStep` marker, per-cell MultiBindings). Two costs follow, both bounded by the idle pool (~30 containers), both accepted for this plan: (1) a REMOVED column's VM graph (~38 cells) stays pinned until that container is reused or a Reset lands — this is real retention, not "the VMs live in StepColumns"; (2) invisible idle subtrees re-run converters/text updates when the stale VM changes, which matters during PLC execution ticks — the trace scenario's execution-tick sweep (Task 0/Task 4) confirms this traffic is negligible; if it is not, a follow-up (detach bindings on idle, or null the idle DataContext without touching Content) is recorded in Post-Completion. + +`TransposedColumnsPanel.OnItemsReset` reorder: snapshot the realized + deferred containers into a local list, set `_realized`/`_deferredElement`/`_deferredIndex` to empty FIRST, then `ClearItemContainer` each snapshotted container, then `RemoveInternalChild` all children, clear `_idle`. This keeps the "unmap before clear" invariant the unguarded IsSelected clear depends on. + +Focus relocation on recycle (production code the Task 2 focus test needs): post-fix a recycled container is hidden (`IsVisible=false`) with its subtree — and any focused cell-editor `TextBox` — still ALIVE (an open editor is `TabOnceActiveElement` = the editor, not the container, so the panel recycles rather than defers it). `CommitActiveEditor` commits the value but does NOT move focus; today focus relocates only because the subtree is destroyed on clear. In `TransposedRecipeGridView.OnContainerClearing` (which already fires before the hide and already commits), after `CommitActiveEditor`, if focus is within the container, relocate it off (defocus the editor / focus the `StepListBox`) so focus is not parked in an invisible subtree. If the Task 2 focus test shows Avalonia already relocates focus on `IsVisible=false`, this is a defensive no-op — but do NOT rely on that unverified; budget the code either way. + +`.axaml`: change `` to `` (xmlns `transposed` already mapped).

Fixed work, not fixed duration — the gate metric is absolute time for the same work. `[AvaloniaFact]` skipped unless `SEMISTEP_TRACE_SCENARIO=1`; mirror `TransposedViewAllocationProbe`'s full trait set (`Component`/`Area`/`Category=Performance`). +- [ ] Write the analyzer script (Python): given a speedscope JSON and a frame list, print ABSOLUTE inclusive sample time (ms) per frame and presence/absence of the attach/styling frames under `Realize` stacks; shares printed for context only (see Testing Strategy for why a ratio cannot be the gate). MATCH frames by fully-qualified declaring type + method — `TransposedColumnsPanel.MeasureOverride` (NOT bare `MeasureOverride`; many types declare it), `TransposedColumnsPanel.Realize`, `Visual.OnAttachedToVisualTreeCore` (sum the recursive cascade once — inclusive, not double-counted), `StyleBase.Attach`, `StyledElement.ApplyStyling`, `TransposedColumnCellsHost.AcquireAndBind` — and state the exact match keys in the script so the headline number is unambiguous and identical baseline-vs-after. No external dependencies beyond stdlib. `scripts/perf/` is a NEW top-level directory — first perf-tooling home in the repo, deliberate convention choice. +- [ ] Self-check the analyzer before trusting it at the gate: feed it a tiny hand-written speedscope JSON with known frame times (including a recursive-frame case so inclusive time is not double-counted) and assert it reports the expected numbers.

This is Task 1's real correctness gate — a green build alone does not prove the override works. (The remaining recycle tests are Task 2.) + +### Task 2: Recycle-correctness tests +**Files:** +- Create: `SemiStep/SemiStep.Tests/UI/RecipeGrid/Transposed/TransposedChildRecycleTests.cs` +- Modify: existing transposed test files only if a shared helper is needed (do not weaken assertions) + +- [ ] Write test: multi-select survives a scroll round-trip — select columns, scroll out/in, assert both the selection model and container `IsSelected`/`:selected` are restored. +- [ ] Write test: no selection bleed — a container reused from a formerly-SELECTED column onto an UNSELECTED column comes back with `IsSelected == false` and that column absent from `Selection.SelectedIndexes` (this is the exact regression the `ClearValue(IsSelectedProperty)` guards; without it the suite would pass while selection bleeds). +- [ ] Write test: `OnItemsReset` (RecipeReplaced) with an active multi-selection does NOT mutate the selection model during teardown — assert no `SelectionChanged` fires and no throw (the real hazard of the mid-reset unguarded clear is a spurious `Selection.Deselect` on an old-collection index, not just a final model diff). +- [ ] Write test: the view's `OnContainerClearing` hook finds a live `TransposedColumnCellsPresenter` and commits the active editor AT CLEARING TIME. Audit fact: today this hook is dead code (base clear detaches the subtree before the event fires; the existing `TransposedCommitOnClearingTests` pass through the `Host.OnDetachedFromVisualTree` side-channel). Post-fix the Host path stops firing on scroll and the hook becomes the PRIMARY commit path — pin it directly, not through the Host. +- [ ] Write test: focus inside an idle-hidden subtree — focus a cell editor, scroll its column out (container hidden, subtree now survives), assert focus does not remain parked in the invisible subtree and keyboard navigation still works. Today teardown destroyed the focused control; hiding changes the focus-relocation path, and nothing in the current suites pins it. +- [ ] (Child-identity test already landed in Task 1; capture the item's OWN content `ContentPresenter`, not an arbitrary presenter in the subtree, so `ReferenceEquals` is meaningful.) +- [ ] Run the panel/transposed subset; must pass. + +### Task 3: Existing-suite regression + allocation gate probe +**Files:** +- Modify: `SemiStep/SemiStep.Tests/Performance/TransposedViewAllocationProbe.cs` (add a Host-attach counter measurement) OR create a focused counter probe under `SemiStep/SemiStep.Tests/Performance/` + +- [ ] Run the FULL suite `dotnet test SemiStep/SemiStep.Tests/SemiStep.Tests.csproj`; every existing transposed test (commit-on-clearing both branches, contract ContainerClearing/Prepared counts, items-changed replace/remove rebind) stays green. Fix the panel/subclass if any regress — do not weaken tests. +- [ ] Add a `Category=Performance` (SEMISTEP_PROBE-gated) measurement that counts host re-attach during a scripted ~200-column scroll and asserts it is 0 after warmup (today ~1 per recycle). Count via the PUBLIC `AttachedToVisualTree` event subscribed on the realized `TransposedColumnCellsHost` instances after warmup (mirrors how `TransposedColumnsPanelContractTests` tracks `DetachedFromVisualTree`) — do NOT add a test-only counter field to the production Host. Keep it consistent with the existing probe style (env-gated, report + assert). +- [ ] Record the `TransposedViewAllocationProbe` viewport-jump per-realized-column bytes after the fix (run with `SEMISTEP_PROBE=1`); pair with the Task 0 baseline in the numbers section of this plan. + +### Task 4: Acceptance gate — after-trace against pre-committed numbers +- [ ] Confirm all must-keep behaviors are covered by passing tests (multi-select, keyboard nav across boundary, edit-commit both branches, name-column alignment, focus deferral, ScrollIntoView). +- [ ] Run full suite: `dotnet test SemiStep/SemiStep.Tests/SemiStep.Tests.csproj`. +- [ ] Run formatter: `dotnet format "SemiStep/SemiStep.slnx" --verify-no-changes`. +- [ ] Re-run the Task 0 trace capture unchanged — same fixed workload, same build config (`after.speedscope.json`) — and the analyzer. GATE — all three must hold, numbers recorded in this plan next to the baseline. Do NOT gate on the `Realize`/`MeasureOverride` share: the fix shrinks numerator and denominator together (attach cascade leaves both, irreducible `BindColumn` stays inside `Realize`), so the ratio stays high even on full success — a share gate would false-fail a working fix. + 1. MECHANISM: `OnAttachedToVisualTreeCore` / `StyleBase.Attach` / `ApplyStyling` frames ABSENT from scroll-phase `Realize` stacks (present at baseline); summed attach/styling inclusive time < 5% of its Task 0 baseline value. + 2. OUTCOME: absolute `MeasureOverride` inclusive time drops by at least `0.8 × baseline_attach_styling_sum` — i.e. `after_MeasureOverride ≤ baseline_MeasureOverride − 0.8 × baseline_attach_styling_sum`. Self-calibrated from what the headless trace ACTUALLY measured (the fix removes essentially all of the measured attach/styling inclusive time, which is the delta headless can see), NOT a fixed fraction: headless strips composition (`CreateCompositionVisual` is part of the live attach cascade but invisible here), so the attach share of `MeasureOverride` is smaller headless than live — a fixed "< 1/2 baseline" bar would false-fail a working fix whenever attach is not ~half of headless `MeasureOverride`, and the STOP-don't-weaken rule would then deadlock it. + 3. Host re-attach counter probe (Task 3) reports 0 after warmup; execution-tick sweep phase shows no `Realize`/rebuild frames (idle-binding traffic negligible). +- [ ] If ANY gate number fails: STOP. Do not weaken thresholds, do not mark this task done, do not proceed to Task 5. Record the failing numbers in the plan and report to the user with the before/after traces — a failed gate here means the root-cause analysis is incomplete, which is exactly what this gate exists to catch (the previous round shipped on an unmeasured "Eliminated" claim that a later trace refuted). + +### Task 5: Documentation +- [ ] Update `Docs/architecture/recipe-grid-surface.md`: document that the ContentPresenter child is now recycled in place via `TransposedStepListBox`, why (typed-template null gap destroyed the child every recycle), and that this completes the recycle-in-place panel. Record the before/after trace shares AND the allocation-gate numbers — this is the first round in the chain to ship with its after-measurement attached; say so. +- [ ] Record the two follow-ups (Host/pool now dead weight; residual `CreateSKFont` text-cache) as Post-Completion notes, not code changes. +- [ ] No `CLAUDE.md` behavior change; optionally note the Avalonia core version is 12.0.5 (12.0.3 in CLAUDE.md refers to Semi.Avalonia/ReactiveUI) — only if trivial. +- [ ] Move this plan to `Docs/plans/completed/` ONLY if the Task 4 gate passed with numbers recorded.

Touches surface-swap teardown, `CommitActiveEditor` ordering, `_editCoordinator.Reset` — do it deliberately after re-tracing. +- Residual `CreateSKFont` (render thread): partly downstream of the rebuild (collapses with this fix), partly inherent (each scrolled-in column shows ~38 fresh strings; Avalonia has no cross-run shaped-text cache). If still hot after the re-trace, add a display-text `TextLayout` cache keyed by (string, typeface, size) since grid values repeat heavily.
