JavaScript / scheduler cost + +This includes: + +- queue enqueue, dequeue, peek, remove +- set and map updates for groups and size cache +- DOM attribute writes for visibility markers +- callback dispatch + +This is the predictable, CPU-bound part. + +### 2. Layout-related cost + +This comes from reading: + +- `container.clientWidth` or `clientHeight` +- item `offsetWidth` or `offsetHeight` +- divider size +- overflow menu size + +These properties can force layout if the DOM or styles are dirty at the time of the read. + +Important nuance: when the update was triggered by `ResizeObserver`, the browser has already performed layout for the size change that caused the observer callback. In that path, many reads are likely to hit already-computed geometry. When updates are triggered directly after DOM writes, reads are more likely to force a synchronous layout. + +### 3. Style, paint, and composite cost + +The engine itself mostly writes attributes such as `data-overflowing`. In the React wrapper, those attributes map to `display: none` for overflowing items. + +That means the engine can cause: + +- style recalculation because selectors depend on attributes +- layout because `display: none` changes box participation +- paint because visible content changed +- sometimes compositing updates, depending on the surrounding page + +There is no animation or transform-based hiding in the base model, so hiding an item is usually a layout-affecting change, not a compositor-only change. + +## Complexity summary + +Let: + +- `n` = number of items +- `g` = number of groups with dividers +- `k` = number of items that change visibility in one pass + +### Heap operations + +- `enqueue` and `dequeue`: $O(\log n)$ +- `peek`: $O(1)$ +- `remove`: $O(n)$ because it uses `indexOf` before heapify + +### Per-pass size computation + +`occupiedSize()` walks: + +- all currently visible items +- all groups to decide visible divider contribution + +So each `occupiedSize()` call is $O(v + g)$ where `v` is the visible item count, worst-case $O(n + g)$. + +### Full rebalance pass + +The show/hide loops can call `occupiedSize()` many times. In the worst case, if many items toggle during one pass, total JS work trends toward quadratic behavior because the algorithm repeatedly recomputes aggregate occupied size from scratch. + +Conservative worst-case bound for a large rebalance: + +$$ +O(k \cdot (n + g) + k \log n) +$$ + +and when `k \approx n`, that behaves like roughly $O(n^2)$ JS work for the pass. + +This is the most important cost characteristic of the base model. + +## Feature cost breakdown + +### Base model cost + +The base model includes: + +- two heaps +- size cache clearing per pass +- repeated aggregate size computation +- queue moves and callback dispatch + +This is where nearly all algorithmic cost lives. + +### Grouping cost + +Grouping adds: + +- one extra map lookup per item move +- one or two `Set` mutations per moved item +- group visibility recomputation for that group, which is $O(1)$ +- divider visibility attribute writes +- divider contribution in `occupiedSize()`, which adds an $O(g)$ scan over groups + +Impact assessment: + +- JS overhead per moved item: low +- additional DOM reads: only divider size when divider is active +- aggregate pass overhead: moderate when `g` is large because every `occupiedSize()` call scans groups + +### Pinning cost + +Pinning adds: + +- one boolean branch inside item comparison +- one boolean guard in the hide loop + +Impact assessment: + +- JS overhead: negligible +- DOM overhead: none directly +- practical effect: can reduce work if many items become unhideable early, but can also leave the layout in an overflowed state if pinned items consume too much space + +### Overflow menu cost + +The menu adds: + +- one more measured element when overflow exists +- one threshold effect: showing the last hidden item may remove the menu itself, so the algorithm intentionally attempts to reveal the last hidden item even if it might initially appear not to fit + +Impact assessment: + +- JS overhead: low +- layout sensitivity: moderate because the menu size changes the equilibrium point + +### Minimum visible cost + +`minimumVisible` only adds a numeric stop condition in the hide loop. + +Impact assessment: + +- JS overhead: negligible +- DOM overhead: none directly +- functional effect: may allow the container to remain overflowed if the minimum is too high to satisfy the physical space available + +## When does it force layout? + +High-risk cases for synchronous layout: + +- add or remove many items, then call `update()` in the same tick +- mutate styles or classes affecting widths before the microtask runs +- read overflow state and then synchronously mutate layout again in response + +Lower-risk cases: + +- pure container resizes observed through `ResizeObserver` +- repeated measurements in the same pass, because `sizeCache` prevents duplicate width and height reads for the same element + +## Why the size cache helps + +Without the size cache, `occupiedSize()` would re-read the same geometry repeatedly during one rebalance pass. Since the loops can call `occupiedSize()` several times, repeated `offsetWidth` and `clientWidth` reads would inflate both scripting time and layout risk. + +The cache reduces repeated geometry reads inside one pass to roughly one read per involved element. + +It does not reduce: + +- the number of items iterated in each `occupiedSize()` call +- style/layout invalidation caused by visibility changes +- cross-pass reads after subsequent updates + +## Mental model for performance + +If you want a quick mental budget: + +- registration-heavy churn costs are mostly queue mutation plus some linear `remove` work +- resize-heavy steady state costs are mostly repeated aggregate size scans +- the expensive browser part is not the heap; it is geometry reads plus `display: none` toggles that can trigger layout and paint + +In practical terms, the engine is usually fine for toolbar-sized collections.

item again or stop] + H --> J{More hidden items?} + J -- yes --> E + J -- no --> K[Dispatch stable state] + I --> K +``` + +Functionally: + +- the show loop promotes the best hidden item back to visible +- the algorithm has a special case for the last hidden item because removing the overflow menu may free enough space to make that last item fit + +Cost profile: + +- JS: moderate if many items become visible again +- layout: similar measurement pattern to shrinking +- paint: repaint of newly shown items and possible menu disappearance + +Interesting nuance: + +- the last hidden item is worth an extra attempt because one visible item can replace both itself and the menu footprint + +### Scenario 5: Add a new low-priority item while already full + +This is common in dynamic toolbars where commands appear conditionally. + +```mermaid +flowchart TD + A[New item registered] --> B[Item inserted into visible queue] + B --> C[forceDispatch set true] + C --> D[Debounced update]

J[New item immediately overflows] + I -- no --> K[Existing lower-ranked item overflows] +``` + +Functionally: + +- new items start visible by default +- if the toolbar was already near capacity, the new item often overflows immediately on the next pass +- `forceDispatch` ensures consumers hear about the change even if queue tops happen to look similar + +Cost profile: + +- JS: low to moderate +- layout: one pass of measurements +- paint: only if the stable set changes + +Interesting nuance: + +- the double-round processing exists partly to stabilize cases like this, where a newly inserted visible item disturbs the optimal split + +### Scenario 6: Add a new high-priority item that should displace a visible low-priority item + +This is where the priority repair step matters. + +```mermaid +flowchart TD + A[High-priority item added] --> B[Temporarily visible] + B --> C[processOverflowItems] + C --> D{Best hidden outranks worst visible?} + D -- yes --> E[Hide worst visible item] + E --> F[Move better item toward visibility] + F --> G[Run normal show/hide stabilization] + G --> H[Dispatch reordered visibility split] +``` + +Functionally: + +- a new important command can bump out a weaker visible command even if the total visible count stays the same +- this is not a pure width problem; it is a width-plus-priority rebalance + +Cost profile: + +- JS: slightly higher than the low-priority add case because the repair loop may run before normal fit logic +- layout: same general measurement footprint +- paint: one item may disappear while another appears + +This is a good example of why the engine uses queues rather than a simple left-to-right cutoff. + +### Scenario 7: Remove a visible item from a full toolbar + +This is a relatively favorable case. + +```mermaid +sequenceDiagram + participant App as App code + participant Engine as Overflow manager + participant Browser as Browser + + App->>Engine: removeItem(id) + Engine->>Engine: remove from queues and registry + Engine->>Engine: set forceDispatch true + Engine->>Engine: debounced update + Engine->>Browser: read sizes + Engine->>Engine: show best hidden item if space allows + Engine-->>App: dispatch updated visibility +``` + +Functionally: + +- removing a visible item may free enough room for one hidden item to return +- because `remove()` on the priority queue uses `indexOf`, item removal has a linear queue-search component before heap repair + +Cost profile: + +- JS: moderate for large `n` because removal is $O(n)$ in the queue implementation +- layout: one rebalance pass +- paint: modest; often one item appears and one disappears, or only one appears + +### Scenario 8: Grouped items partially overflow + +This is the most interesting extension feature. + +```mermaid +stateDiagram-v2 + [*] --> visible + visible --> overflow: some items hidden, some visible + overflow --> hidden: last visible item hidden + hidden --> overflow: first hidden item shown + overflow --> visible: all items shown again +``` + +Functionally: + +- each item move updates two sets inside the group manager +- a group enters `overflow` when at least one item is visible and at least one is hidden +- a divider stays visible while the group is `visible` or `overflow` +- the divider hides when the last visible item in that group disappears + +Cost profile: + +- JS: base model cost plus set bookkeeping +- layout: divider size may participate in `occupiedSize()` +- paint: divider visibility toggles can repaint even when no new command becomes visible + +Interesting nuance: + +- grouping changes semantics more than it changes raw cost +- the main additional cost comes from divider accounting inside every `occupiedSize()` call + +### Scenario 9: Entire group disappears + +This is a special grouped case worth separating because the divider behavior changes sharply. + +```mermaid +flowchart TD + A[Only one visible item remains in group] --> B[Hide that item] + B --> C[Group visibleItemIds becomes empty] + C --> D[Group state becomes hidden] + D --> E[Divider gets data-overflowing] + E --> F[occupiedSize shrinks by item plus divider] +``` + +Functionally: + +- hiding the last visible item has a two-part footprint change: the item goes away and the divider goes away too +- that means groups can create slightly discontinuous layout changes compared with independent items + +Cost profile: + +- JS: low incremental overhead +- layout: the divider disappearing can help the next item fit earlier than expected +- paint: visible because both command and divider styling change + +### Scenario 10: Pinned items consume too much width + +This is the clearest example of a case where the engine cannot solve the physical constraint. + +```mermaid +flowchart TD + A[occupiedSize > availableSize] --> B[Need to hide visible items] + B --> C[Peek worst visible item] + C --> D{Pinned?} + D -- yes --> E[Stop hide loop] + D -- no --> F[Hide item and continue] + E --> G[Dispatch still-overflowed stable state] +``` + +Functionally: + +- pinned items act like an unshrinkable frontier +- if the next hide candidate is pinned, the algorithm stops, even if the container still does not fit +- the result can be a visually overfull container or clipped layout depending on surrounding CSS + +Cost profile: + +- JS: very low incremental pinning overhead +- layout: unchanged from base model until the stop condition is reached +- paint: depends on how much overflow remains visible in the page layout + +Important design implication: + +- pinning is cheap computationally but can make the UI impossible to satisfy geometrically + +### Scenario 11: `minimumVisible` prevents full convergence + +This is similar to pinning, but the hard stop is a count rather than item identity. + +```mermaid +flowchart TD + A[occupiedSize > availableSize] --> B[Hide items while visible count > minimumVisible] + B --> C{visible count == minimumVisible?} + C -- no --> D[Continue hiding] + C -- yes --> E[Stop even if still too wide] +``` + +Functionally: + +- the engine respects the configured minimum visible count +- it may stop before true geometric fit is reached + +Cost profile: + +- JS: negligible feature overhead +- layout: same as the base model up to the stop point +- paint: same as ordinary hiding + +### Scenario 12: Overflow menu with `hasHiddenItems = true` + +This case matters when hidden items exist outside the engine's own item registry. + +```mermaid +flowchart TD + A[hasHiddenItems true] --> B[occupiedSize always includes menu when menu exists] + B --> C[Less space available for visible registered items] + C --> D[Earlier overflow threshold] +``` + +Functionally: + +- the menu is charged against occupied size even if the engine itself currently has no invisible registered items +- this creates a more conservative fit line + +Cost profile: + +- JS: negligible +- layout: one extra measured element in passes where the menu exists +- paint: no special extra cost beyond menu visibility itself + +### Scenario 13: Burst of registration changes in one tick + +This is the best-case scenario for the debounce design. + +```mermaid +sequenceDiagram + participant App as App code + participant Engine as Overflow manager + participant Microtask as Microtask queue + + App->>Engine: addItem(A) + App->>Engine: addItem(B) + App->>Engine: removeItem(C) + App->>Engine: update() + Engine->>Microtask: schedule one debounced run + Note over Engine,Microtask: repeated update() calls in same tick collapse + Microtask-->>Engine: run forceUpdate once +``` + +Functionally: + +- multiple mutations collapse into one processing pass +- this avoids repeated layout work and repeated callback churn inside the same macrotask + +Cost profile: + +- JS: much better than processing each mutation separately +- layout: one pass instead of many +- paint: one consolidated visible-state update + +This is one of the strongest design choices in the current engine. + +### Scenario 14: Worst-case thrash on a large toolbar + +This is the pathological case to keep in mind when estimating upper bounds. + +```mermaid +flowchart TD + A[Many items, dirty layout, width change] --> B[Measure container and all visible items] + B --> C[Hide one item] + C --> D[Recompute occupiedSize over many visible items] + D --> E[Hide another item] + E --> F[Repeat many times] + F --> G[Attribute writes trigger style and layout invalidation] + G --> H[Dispatch after many queue moves] +``` + +Functionally: + +- many items cross the threshold in a single pass +- the engine repeatedly recomputes aggregate occupied size after each move +- style invalidation from `display: none` interacts with geometry reads + +Cost profile: + +- JS: the closest thing to the documented worst case +- layout: highest risk of forced reflow if layout was dirty before the reads +- paint: potentially substantial because many items disappear or reappear +- composite: still secondary to layout and paint + +This is where the rough $O(n^2)$ behavior becomes noticeable. + +## Scenario comparison + +| Scenario | Engine behavior | JS cost | Layout risk | Paint impact | Notes | +|

Engine + +The desired engine state is: + +- `OverflowManager` remains the core engine abstraction +- it is long-lived rather than routinely reconstructed +- it is incrementally configurable +- it exposes canonical readable overflow state +- it exposes generic subscription semantics +- it stays host-agnostic and non-React-specific + +### Viable future `OverflowManager` + +The current convergence target is: + +```ts +interface OverflowManager { + setOptions(options: Partial): void; + setContainer(element: HTMLElement | null): void; + setOverflowMenu(element: HTMLElement | null): void; + + addItem(item: OverflowItemEntry): void; + removeItem(itemId: string): void; + addDivider(divider: OverflowDividerEntry): void; + removeDivider(groupId: string): void; + + update(): void; + forceUpdate(): void; + + getSnapshot(): OverflowSnapshot; + subscribe(listener: () => void): () => void; + + destroy(): void; +} +``` + +This is the smallest contract that materially changes the current bridge behavior rather than merely making the engine look cleaner. + +### Ideal future `OverflowManager` + +The ideal version may later add: + +```ts +registerItem(item: OverflowItemEntry): OverflowItemHandle; +registerDivider(divider: OverflowDividerEntry): OverflowDividerHandle; +``` + +where the returned handles support `update()` and `unregister()`. + +This remains a second-order improvement, not part of the immediate target. + +### 2. Bridge-facing snapshot + +The bridge-facing snapshot should be normalized and React-friendly. + +```ts +type OverflowSnapshot = { + hasOverflow: boolean; + overflowCount: number; + itemVisibility: Record; + groupVisibility: Record; +}; +``` + +Current recommendation: + +- `hasOverflow` is useful and cheap +- `overflowCount` should be first-class because the engine already knows invisible item count +- `itemVisibility` and `groupVisibility` are the most stable bridge-facing structures + +By default, raw `visibleItems` and `invisibleItems` should not be treated as the bridge-facing canonical snapshot shape. + +### 3. Bridge ownership model + +The desired bridge state is: + +- the bridge remains the stable React boundary +- the bridge does not own canonical overflow state +- the bridge adapts engine-owned state into React usage patterns +- the bridge stops compensating for engine lifecycle weakness + +In other words: + +- engine owns overflow truth +- bridge owns React integration and ergonomics + +### 4. `useOverflowContainer` + +The desired `useOverflowContainer` shape is: + +- one long-lived manager instance per overflow container +- `setOptions()` used for configuration changes +- `setContainer()` used for container attachment changes +- `setOverflowMenu()` used for menu attachment changes +- registration helpers exposed for item and divider wiring +- manager returned explicitly for downstream bridge usage + +A likely internal bridge-facing return shape is: + +```ts +type UseOverflowContainerReturn = { + containerRef: React.RefObject; + manager: OverflowManager; + registerItem(item: OverflowItemEntry): () => void; + registerDivider(divider: OverflowDividerEntry): () => void; + registerOverflowMenu(element: HTMLElement): () => void; + updateOverflow(): void; +}; +``` + +This keeps current registration ergonomics while making manager ownership explicit. + +### 5. `Overflow.tsx` + +The desired `Overflow.tsx` state is: + +- thin wrapper around manager lifecycle and context wiring +- no primary mirrored overflow state ownership +- still exposes `onOverflowChange` +- still composes refs and classes +- still provides React-friendly composition surface + +So `Overflow.tsx` should remain important, but it should stop behaving like a second canonical state owner. + +### 6. Context + +The desired context state is: + +- manager-in-context, not snapshot-in-context as the primary model +- registration helpers remain in context for migration-friendly ergonomics + +The target shape is: + +```ts +type OverflowContextValue = { + manager: OverflowManager; + registerItem(item: OverflowItemEntry): () => void; + registerDivider(divider: OverflowDividerEntry): () => void; + registerOverflowMenu(element: HTMLElement): () => void; + updateOverflow(): void; +}; +``` + +This preserves the current practical API shape while keeping ownership explicit. + +### 7. Subscription helper layer + +The bridge should have one small internal selector-based subscription helper. + +Conceptually: + +```ts +function useOverflowSelector(selector: (snapshot: OverflowSnapshot) => T): T; +``` + +Its job is to: + +1. obtain the manager from context +2. subscribe to the manager +3. read `getSnapshot()` +4. apply the selector +5. let React re-render when the selected value changes + +Current recommendation on equality: + +- keep selector results narrow enough that `Object.is`-style stability is usually sufficient +- avoid a broad custom equality layer unless profiling proves it is necessary + +### 8. State-reading hooks + +The desired hook model is: + +- `useOverflowVisibility()` selects full visibility structures from the manager snapshot +- `useIsOverflowItemVisible(id)` selects one item visibility flag +- `useIsOverflowGroupVisible(id)` selects one group visibility value +- `useOverflowCount()` reads a first-class `overflowCount` from the manager snapshot + +These hooks should stop reading bridge-owned mirrored context state. + +### 9. Registration hooks and components + +The desired registration model in the viable state is: + +- public component APIs stay stable +- registration helpers continue to exist for bridge ergonomics +- internal registration still uses add/remove semantics first + +If later evidence shows metadata churn is still a first-order problem, then handle-based registration can be added as the next engine step. + +### 10. Public API stance + +The desired near-term public API stance is: + +- no required component-level breaking changes +- `Overflow`, `OverflowItem`, and `OverflowDivider` remain stable +- current props remain stable +- current children-based composition remains stable + +Breaking changes are only justified later if the team intentionally decides to redesign public ergonomics, not as a side effect of fixing engine and bridge ownership. + +## What improves immediately with the viable engine contract + +If the viable future `OverflowManager` existed, these bridge problems improve immediately: + +1. manager recreation on option changes +2. attachment and configuration being entangled +3. callback-only engine state access +4. the bridge being forced to act as the only stable state publisher +5. menu attachment awkwardness as a lifecycle concern + +## What still remains bridge-owned after that + +Even under the viable engine contract, these still remain bridge-side questions: + +- final React subscription granularity +- context propagation strategy +- whether broad snapshot reads are acceptable +- whether menu behavior still needs any secondary bridge modeling +- whether a future hook-first public API is worth pursuing + +These are now secondary questions rather than architectural blockers. + +## Remaining narrow decisions + +At this point, the remaining questions are narrow and implementation-shaped. + +### 1. Do we need custom selector equality? + +Current recommendation: + +- not by default +- keep selections narrow first +- only add broader equality support if profiling proves it necessary + +### 2. Should raw `visibleItems` / `invisibleItems` remain available anywhere? + +Current recommendation: + +- not as the bridge-facing canonical snapshot shape +- they may still exist as internal engine data or secondary outputs if later needed + +### 3.

It is tightly coupled to commit timing. + +### 2. State mirroring in `Overflow.tsx` + +The engine emits arrays of visible and invisible items. The wrapper then rebuilds React-friendly maps: + +- `itemVisibility: Record` +- `groupVisibility: Record` +- `hasOverflow: boolean` + +This is a second state system layered over the engine's own state. + +That has two consequences: + +- extra JS work on every engine update +- extra React invalidation even when consumers only need a small slice + +### 3.

The provider value still changes when: + +- `itemVisibility` is rebuilt +- `groupVisibility` changes +- `hasOverflow` changes + +So the bridge still turns engine updates into React subscription activity. + +### 4. Two visibility channels + +There are really two visibility channels in the system: + +- DOM attributes written by the engine callback path +- React state exposed through hooks + +That duplication is useful for ergonomics, but it means the wrapper is not just a thin type-safe façade. It is a synchronizing layer. + +## Concrete pain points + +### Pain point 1: full map rebuild on every overflow update + +In `Overflow.tsx`, each `onUpdateOverflow` callback rebuilds a fresh `itemVisibility` object from the visible and invisible arrays. + +That means: + +- every update allocates a new map +- every update touches all items that changed set membership +- even consumers looking up a single item still depend on a rebuilt parent object + +This cost is separate from the engine's own work. + +### Pain point 2: React re-renders are coupled to engine churn + +The hook `useOverflowVisibility()` already warns that it re-renders for every overflow visibility change. + +That is a real signal that the bridge is not especially cheap for broad subscriptions. + +If an app reads the full visibility map, React work scales with every overflow event, even if the DOM attributes alone would have been enough for hiding. + +### Pain point 3: menu state can cause follow-up engine work + +`useOverflowMenu()` derives `isOverflowing` from `overflowCount`, and when that becomes true it calls `updateOverflow()` again in a layout effect. + +This is understandable because the menu itself changes occupied size, but architecturally it means: + +- engine update +- React state update +- React effect +- follow-up engine update + +So the bridge can create a second phase of work around menu activation. + +### Pain point 4: option changes recreate the engine instance + +`useOverflowContainer()` recreates the overflow manager when observed options change after first mount. + +That keeps behavior simple, but it means option changes are not incremental. They effectively reset the imperative engine layer. + +This is acceptable for infrequent prop changes, but it is not a particularly elegant bridge if options are dynamic. + +### Pain point 5: trigger-style child cloning is restrictive + +`Overflow` and `OverflowItem` use trigger-style helpers to clone children and merge refs. + +That introduces API constraints: + +- the child must be ref-compatible +- the wrapper must successfully find and merge the target element ref +- composition is less direct than a hook-only API bound to a known DOM node + +This is not necessarily slow in isolation, but it is a sign that the bridge is paying API complexity to adapt imperative registration into React composition. + +### Pain point 6: state and DOM can never be truly single-source + +The engine is the real source of truth for fit and visibility. + +React state is therefore downstream and derived. That means the bridge is always solving synchronization problems, not ownership problems. + +This is manageable, but it is a weaker architecture than a model where React owns the state transitions directly or subscribes to a dedicated external store. + +## Lifecycle of the React bridge + +```mermaid +sequenceDiagram + participant React as React render/commit + participant Hooks as Wrapper hooks + participant Engine as Overflow engine + participant Context as React context consumers + + React->>Hooks: render Overflow and items + Hooks->>Engine: register container and DOM nodes in layout effects + Engine->>Engine: measure and compute overflow + Engine-->>Hooks: onUpdateOverflow callback + Hooks->>React: set overflowState + React->>Context: publish new provider value + Context-->>React: subscribed components re-render + React->>Engine: some hooks may call updateOverflow again +``` + +## Cost model of the React bridge + +The bridge cost is mostly not in layout. The engine already dominates geometry work. + +The bridge adds cost in three other places. + +### 1. Allocation and derivation cost + +This includes: + +- rebuilding visibility maps +- creating new provider values +- creating memoized derived objects for hooks such as `useOverflowVisibility()` + +This is ordinary JS work, but it happens on every update. + +### 2. React subscription and render cost + +This includes: + +- invalidating selector subscribers +- re-running components that consume overflow state +- effect work after state changes, especially around menu registration/update + +This is the biggest bridge-specific cost bucket. + +### 3. Commit-phase coordination cost + +This includes: + +- layout effects for item registration +- layout effects for menu registration +- cleanup effects on unmount +- merged-ref and child-cloning overhead + +This is not the dominant runtime cost, but it makes the design more intricate and timing-sensitive. + +For design directions, refactor ideas, and unresolved questions beyond the current bridge, see `overflow-northstar.md`. This document stays focused on the current bridge and where its cost comes from. + +## What the bridge does well + +It is not all downside. The bridge gives React consumers a usable API surface: + +- `Overflow`, `OverflowItem`, and `OverflowDivider` expose composition-friendly primitives +- selector hooks let components ask narrow questions like "is item X visible?" +- the DOM still gets fast attribute-level visibility updates from the engine path + +So the bridge is functional and practical. The problem is not that it fails. The problem is that it duplicates work and couples render updates to engine churn more than an ideal integration would. + +## Practical ranking of React bridge issues + +If you need to rank the React-side concerns by importance, this is the right order: + +1. mirrored visibility state and full map rebuilds +2. React subscription and re-render churn +3. follow-up menu-triggered updates +4. engine recreation on option changes +5. child-cloning and ref-plumbing complexity + +## Bottom line + +The current bridge is workable, but not ideal. + +It is best understood as an adapter between two different worlds: + +- an imperative DOM measurement engine +- a declarative React subscription model + +That adapter necessarily adds synchronization, re-rendering, and some API awkwardness. The biggest structural weakness is that React mirrors and redistributes state the engine already owns instead of subscribing to a more canonical external store model. + +If the question is "what should replace it?", that belongs in `overflow-northstar.md`. The purpose of this document is narrower: explain how the current bridge works, where it pays, and why it feels awkward. + +That narrower scope is deliberate. Once the current bridge is described precisely, future improvement discussions can be grounded in specific costs and tradeoffs rather than broad impressions. + +## Relevant source files + +- `packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/components/Overflow.tsx` +- `packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/useOverflowContainer.ts` +- `packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/useOverflowItem.ts` +- `packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/useOverflowMenu.ts` +- `packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/useOverflowVisibility.ts` +- `packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/overflowContext.ts` From 8040502d8e9eff14a645d2e263e79b2fa8803445 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernardo Sunderhus Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 21:33:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 02/14] tmp skip --- .../react-components/react-overflow/library/src/Overflow.cy.tsx | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/Overflow.cy.tsx b/packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/Overflow.cy.tsx index f4c15e969796ab..47be40a1ea90bd 100644 --- a/packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/Overflow.cy.tsx +++ b/packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/Overflow.cy.tsx @@ -828,7 +828,7 @@ describe('Overflow', () => { cy.get(`[${selectors.menu}]`).should('not.exist');

Current recommendation: -- `hasOverflow` is useful and cheap -- `overflowCount` should be first-class because the engine already knows invisible item count -- `itemVisibility` and `groupVisibility` are the most stable bridge-facing structures - -By default, raw `visibleItems` and `invisibleItems` should not be treated as the bridge-facing canonical snapshot shape. - -### 3. Bridge ownership model - -The desired bridge state is: - -- the bridge remains the stable React boundary -- the bridge does not own canonical overflow state -- the bridge adapts engine-owned state into React usage patterns -- the bridge stops compensating for engine lifecycle weakness - -In other words: - -- engine owns overflow truth -- bridge owns React integration and ergonomics - -### 4. `useOverflowContainer` - -The desired `useOverflowContainer` shape is: - -- one long-lived manager instance per overflow container -- `setOptions()` used for configuration changes -- `observe(container)` used for observation setup with paired cleanup -- `attachOverflowMenu(element)` used for menu attachment with paired cleanup -- registration helpers exposed for item and divider wiring through paired cleanup boundaries -- manager returned explicitly for downstream bridge usage - -A likely internal bridge-facing return shape is: - -```ts -type UseOverflowContainerReturn = { - containerRef: React.RefObject; - manager: OverflowManager; - registerItem(item: OverflowItemEntry): () => void; - registerDivider(divider: OverflowDividerEntry): () => void; - registerOverflowMenu(element: HTMLElement): () => void; - updateOverflow(): void; -}; -``` - -This keeps current registration ergonomics while making manager ownership explicit. - -Internally, this implies a different lifecycle model from the current implementation: - -- the manager should not be created in render and then destroyed on unmount as if those were symmetrical operations -- instead, the manager should be treated as a pure inert object, and runtime connections should be established and torn down through paired boundaries -- `useOverflowContainer` should own the manager reference, but not collapse all cleanup into one terminal manager teardown path - -### 5. `Overflow.tsx` - -The desired `Overflow.tsx` state is: - -- thin wrapper around manager lifecycle and context wiring -- no primary mirrored overflow state ownership -- still exposes `onOverflowChange` -- still composes refs and classes -- still provides React-friendly composition surface - -So `Overflow.tsx` should remain important, but it should stop behaving like a second canonical state owner. - -### 6. Context - -The desired context state is: - -- manager-in-context, not snapshot-in-context as the primary model -- registration helpers remain in context for migration-friendly ergonomics - -The target shape is: - -```ts -type OverflowContextValue = { - manager: OverflowManager; - registerItem(item: OverflowItemEntry): () => void; - registerDivider(divider: OverflowDividerEntry): () => void; - registerOverflowMenu(element: HTMLElement): () => void; - updateOverflow(): void; -}; -``` - -This preserves the current practical API shape while keeping ownership explicit. - -The important nuance is that these bridge registration helpers remain bridge ergonomics, not canonical lifecycle primitives. Under the corrected model they should be thin wrappers over engine APIs that already provide paired cleanup. - -### 7. Subscription helper layer - -The bridge should have one small internal selector-based subscription helper. - -Conceptually: - -```ts -function useOverflowSelector(selector: (snapshot: OverflowSnapshot) => T): T; -``` - -Its job is to: - -1. obtain the manager from context -2. subscribe to the manager -3. read `getSnapshot()` -4. apply the selector -5. let React re-render when the selected value changes - -Current recommendation on equality: - -- keep selector results narrow enough that `Object.is`-style stability is usually sufficient -- avoid a broad custom equality layer unless profiling proves it is necessary - -### 8. State-reading hooks - -The desired hook model is: - -- `useOverflowVisibility()` selects full visibility structures from the manager snapshot -- `useIsOverflowItemVisible(id)` selects one item visibility flag -- `useIsOverflowGroupVisible(id)` selects one group visibility value -- `useOverflowCount()` reads a first-class `overflowCount` from the manager snapshot - -These hooks should stop reading bridge-owned mirrored context state. - -### 9. Registration hooks and components - -The desired registration model in the viable state is: - -- public component APIs stay stable -- registration helpers continue to exist for bridge ergonomics -- internal registration should map onto paired engine registration boundaries first - -If later evidence shows metadata churn is still a first-order problem, then handle-based registration can be added as the next engine step. - -### 10. Public API stance - -The desired near-term public API stance is: - -- no required component-level breaking changes -- `Overflow`, `OverflowItem`, and `OverflowDivider` remain stable -- current props remain stable -- current children-based composition remains stable - -Breaking changes are only justified later if the team intentionally decides to redesign public ergonomics, not as a side effect of fixing engine and bridge ownership. - -## What improves immediately with the viable engine contract - -If the viable future `OverflowManager` existed, these bridge problems improve immediately: +- not yet +- only revisit this if metadata churn becomes a meaningful remaining cost -1. manager recreation on option changes -2. attachment and configuration being entangled -3. callback-only engine state access -4. the bridge being forced to act as the only stable state publisher -5. menu attachment awkwardness as a lifecycle concern -6. the need to model manager lifetime cleanup as one monolithic teardown path +### 4.

Now that the lifecycle refactor and its follow-up decisions are recorded here and in the engine spec, future improvement discussions can start directly from those two specs rather than from a third design ledger. ## Relevant source files From 0fc644d870d361149ab06a2d54df224028fb3192 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bernardo Sunderhus Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 09:22:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 07/14] simplify overflow container observation --- .../library/src/useOverflowContainer.ts | 107 +++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 51 insertions(+), 56 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/useOverflowContainer.ts b/packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/useOverflowContainer.ts index 1bdf6e3da5e0af..4d3bf99b9dc9a0 100644 --- a/packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/useOverflowContainer.ts +++ b/packages/react-components/react-overflow/library/src/useOverflowContainer.ts @@ -65,72 +65,67 @@ export const useOverflowContainer = ( ], ); - const [container, setContainer] = React.useState(null); + const overflowManagerRef = React.useRef(null); + const cleanupObservationRef = React.useRef<(() => void) | null>(null); + const observedContainerRef = React.useRef(null); + + if (!overflowManagerRef.current && canUseDOM()) { + overflowManagerRef.current = createOverflowManager(); + } const containerRef = React.useCallback>(node => { - setContainer(node); - }, []); + if (observedContainerRef.current === node) { + return; + } - const overflowManager = React.useState(() => - canUseDOM() ?
