Synthetic Event System Internals

Summary

Leverage React's event delegation system for optimization and custom event behavior.

Key Capabilities

• Trace event propagation through the React tree vs. DOM.
• Implement custom event plugins for non-standard gestures.
• Optimize high-frequency event listeners (scroll, resize).

PhD-Level Challenges

• Debug issues arising from mixed React/native event listeners.
• Analyze the memory impact of the synthetic event pool (historical/modern).
• Simulate event re-targeting in portal subtrees.

Acceptance Criteria

• Demonstrate correct event delegation behavior.
• Provide a custom event hook implementation.
• Document event propagation nuances in Portals.
