+# v3.3.102 — virtualize the History table (the last tab-switch layout cost)
+
+v3.3.101's gate killed the get-history PARSE on tab switch, but the v3.3.101 log showed a RESIDUAL: tab
+clicks still 216ms with a ~197ms `renderer-longtask` and NO get-history (gate worked). proc=0ms → pure
+browser layout, not JS. Cause: `.view{display:none}`→`.active{display:flex}` + the History table builds up
+to 2000 `<tr>` NON-virtualized (renderHistoryTable), so showing the view lays out 2000 rows (~197ms on the
+RDP VM). The queue was already virtualized; history was the only non-virtual large table.
+
+MEASURED with Playwright (real DOM, this machine; VM ≈1.7×):
+- current 2000 rows auto-layout: 118ms ; content-visibility+fixed: 117ms (USELESS — rows still laid out)
+- cap 300: 16ms (but rejected: history rows are per-file×hoster, a single 1280-file batch ≈3840 rows, so a
+  small cap would HIDE a recent batch's links)
+- virtualize (40 visible of 2000): 2.3ms ✓
+Verified the virtualization end-to-end @6000 rows: showCost 1.1ms, DOM stays 32-42 rows, scroll maps
+correctly (top=row0/mid=row2990/bottom=row5999), scrollHeight exact, columns STABLE (table-layout:fixed),
+rows update on scroll.
+
+SHIPPED v3.3.102 (renderer/app.js + styles.css):
+- Virtualized renderHistoryTable mirroring the queue's _renderVirtualRows: header always rendered, tbody#historyBody
+  gets only visible rows + top/bottom spacer `<tr>` (VIRTUAL_ROW_HEIGHT=28, OVERSCAN=10). Scroll handler
+  (_onHistoryScroll, rAF-coalesced) + ResizeObserver on #historyContainer — the ResizeObserver doubles as the
+  show-trigger (hidden 0×0 container → visible size → re-render at correct height). Sort resets scrollTop=0 +
+  re-renders. Click delegation (copy-link / sort) unchanged. _historyWorking holds the sorted working set.
+- styles.css: `.history-table{table-layout:fixed}` + scoped col widths (16/34/12/38%) so columns don't jump as
+  rows scroll in/out (does NOT touch the shared .col-* used by the queue). Measured: content-visibility was a
+  no-op, so NOT used.
+All rows stay scrollable (no UX loss); show cost ~100× lower. 407 tests pass, clean boot. Playwright-verified.
+
+DEFERRED still (only if needed): the FIRST get-history after a new batch parses 185MB once (~450ms) — needs
+the ConfigStore parse-cache (+185MB RAM, guarded) or JSONL. appendHistory still rewrites 185MB per batch-done
+(JSONL fixes that). The ~625ms batch-start spin-up + 107ms debug-log residuals.

 # v3.3.101 — History-tab lag: gate the unconditional reload + fix the diagnostics history regression
 
 v3.3.100's interaction instrument named the residual exactly: EVERY slow click was `button.tab`/`nav.tab-bar`
