- cached `document.documentElement.scrollHeight` and `window.innerHeight` in `scrollprogress` and `sectionnav` to prevent forced synchronous layouts during active scroll events and intersection observer callbacks. - implemented `resizeobserver` and tied into existing global debounced window resize handler to maintain layout accuracy. - updated `.jules/bolt.md` with learnings on layout thrashing.

SectionNav now relies on cachedDocHeight/cachedWindowHeight for the bottom-of-page override, but those caches are only refreshed in init() and on window resize; they are not updated when document height changes from normal runtime events (for example lazy-loaded images in index.html or other content expansion). In that case, handleIntersection compares window.scrollY against stale dimensions and can activate the last nav item too early or fail to activate it near the true bottom until a manual resize occurs.

Pull request overview
This PR caches document.documentElement.scrollHeight and window.innerHeight in the ScrollProgress and SectionNav objects to avoid querying DOM layout properties during scroll handlers and IntersectionObserver callbacks, reducing layout thrashing.
Changes:
- Added
cachedDocHeightandcachedWindowHeightproperties toScrollProgressandSectionNav, withcacheDimensions()methods to refresh them. - Added a
ResizeObserverinScrollProgress.init()to keep cached values up to date when document dimensions change. - Added
cacheDimensions()calls to the existing debounced window resize handler.

| **Learning:** Frequent calls to `getBoundingClientRect()` inside `requestAnimationFrame` loops or scroll handlers (like in `MagneticLetters`, `MobileTouchRepel`, and `ParallaxLayers`) cause significant layout thrashing and forced synchronous layouts, degrading rendering performance. | ||
| **Action:** Always pre-calculate and cache document-relative element positions during initialization (`init()`). Update this cache on window resize events and after custom fonts load (using `document.fonts.ready.then()`). During active animations (`animate()`, `update()`, etc.), calculate viewport-relative positions using the cached document coordinates minus the current scroll offset (`window.scrollX` / `window.scrollY`) instead of directly querying the DOM.

💡 what: cached
document.documentElement.scrollHeightandwindow.innerHeightwithinscrollprogressandsectionnavobjects.🎯 why: repeatedly querying dom properties like
scrollheightandinnerheightwithin scroll event listeners and intersection observer callbacks forces synchronous layout calculations, leading to layout thrashing and reduced rendering performance.📊 impact: eliminates forced synchronous layouts during scrolling and intersection checking, maintaining a smoother 60fps experience, particularly noticeable on longer scrolls or lower-end devices.
🔬 measurement: run the frontend application and observe the performance timeline in devtools during scroll; forced layout recalculations related to
scrollprogressandsectionnavwill no longer appear. tests verified vianode --testand a playwright script.PR created automatically by Jules for task 11781990351487005585 started by @dttdrv
