Android Compose & Kotlin Performance

Workflow

1. Identify the problem area:

   • Compose UI jank / recomposition → See references/compose.md
   • Coroutine communication / threading → See references/coroutines.md

2. Apply targeted fixes using the patterns in the relevant reference file.

3. Verify in release mode — debug builds disable Compose compiler optimizations and skippability, making profiling unreliable.
