Feed: the wheel coast no longer stalls or reverses as pictures land. A row that painted before its picture's size was known (a cached row on a feed just opened, a link card, a clip learning its shape) grew after it was measured, and the stale height is what the spacer took when the row left the window: the page shrank by the difference, the browser's scroll anchoring pulled the reader back by as much, and a coasting scroll lost ground (or ran backwards) right as the media appeared — on a feed opened fresh, 18 such frames in four seconds. Rows are now watched by a ResizeObserver (after layout, nothing forced) so the heights stay live; originals decode async so a big one never holds a paint. Tried and dropped: shrinking no-CORS originals through createImageBitmap — it re-decodes on the main thread. tools/feed-scroll-jank.js grows a hands-off coast scenario (--coast: quick-notch bursts, then let go; dips/jumps in the coast's own travel next to what landed: media loads, layout shifts, row batches, page height, scrollTo/scrollBy callers), --trace (a Chrome trace: the browser's work inside each long frame — decode, layout, paint, GC — and the compositor's dropped-frame count), --url for a never-seen topic feed, --only settled|coast, --start px. Measured: the fresh-feed coast went from 18 dips to 8 small ones; a fresh topic feed coasts with one 33 ms frame in five seconds. Still open: a 9528×6328 original from a host without CORS (primal's) once froze a scroll step for 400 ms on its texture upload — only a resizing proxy fixes that one. feed-stability's "a small feed query starts before opening the feed" and "an unavailable image remains a usable link" fail on 491904e too.

Feed: a wheel scroll through a loading feed no longer stutters on a laptop. The phone was fine (its scroll is the compositor's) but the desktop's wheel coast is driven from the main thread, so every long task froze it, and a feed that was still loading ran dozens of them: each ready post went in through its own admitFeed → holdScroll → full render (200–450 ms apiece; a Popular switch did 49 in a few seconds, one of them 1.3 s). Inside those renders the window's list getter — run on every scroll frame too — filtered every note through the mute/spam/report checks, and each check re-derived the login identity (two parses of the stored state plus a bech32 encode): 11 s of a 2-minute profile. Now ready posts are admitted together, one render per 120 ms, and while the reader is moving the page the batch waits for a quiet moment (up to 1.5 s); nostrLoginIdentity keeps its answer for 250 ms (dropped by its own saves, a signer change or another wallet's key), npubOf is memoized, modOn reads the cached messages state, the foreign-language guess is remembered per post, and the window list is reused between renders. Measured on Adam's dev tab (tools/feed-scroll-jank.js: real CDP wheel notches, chip clicks mid-load, rAF frame gaps, long tasks, a CPU profile that names each busy stretch): stalled time during a switch 1.9–2.5 s → 0–83 ms, no frame over 50 ms on the wheel path, main thread busy 33% → 17%; settled scrolling was already clean. feed-streaming's "tap reveals the oldest ready new post" fails on the previous commit too.
