Breakdown of growth, maintenance, and fixes effort over time.
Bugs introduced vs. fixed over time.
Reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution. Commits that introduced bugs are retrospectively counted as poor investments.
Investment Quality reclassifies engineering effort based on bug attribution data. Commits identified as buggy origins (those that introduced bugs later fixed by someone) have their grow and maintenance time moved into the Wasted Time category. Their waste (fix commits) remains counted as productive. All other commits retain their standard classification: grow is productive, maintenance is maintenance, and waste (fixes) is productive.
The standard model classifies commits as Growth, Maintenance, or Fixes. Investment Quality adds a quality lens: a commit that introduced a bug is retrospectively counted as a poor investment — the engineering time spent on it was wasted because it ultimately required additional fix work. Fix commits (Fixes in the standard model) are reframed as productive, because fixing bugs is valuable work.

| b2efda00 | This commit **improves the developer experience** by enhancing the **formatting of bundling error messages**. It modifies the `createBundle` function within the **bundling runner** module, specifically `private/react-native-fantom/runner/bundling.js`, to **parse JSON error responses** originating from the Metro bundler. This **maintenance** change ensures that error messages are presented in a more readable format, making it significantly easier for developers to diagnose and resolve bundling issues. The primary impact is on the clarity and usability of error output during the bundling process. | Mar 2 | 1 | waste |
| 017bf1a7 | This commit **fixes** a **bug** in the **ASAN** and **TSAN** environment options handling within the `private/react-native-fantom/runner/utils.js` module. Previously, the system would incorrectly display a warning about **ASAN** and **TSAN** conflict even when only **ASAN** was enabled, due to an incomplete conditional check. The logic has been updated to accurately verify that both `enableASAN` and `enableTSAN` flags are active before issuing the conflict warning. This **bug fix** prevents false positive warnings, improving the accuracy of build system feedback for developers. | Feb 25 | 1 | waste |
| 4d152ff7 | This commit introduces a **new feature flag**, `updateRuntimeShadowNodeReferencesOnCommitThread`, into the **React Native feature flags system**. This flag provides a more flexible mechanism to control when **runtime shadow node references** are updated during the commit process, specifically allowing updates on any allowed thread, not just those originating from the React renderer. The change impacts the **React Native renderer's core components** by integrating this new flag into the shadow node update logic, such as in `ShadowNode.cpp` and `updateMountedFlag.cpp`. This **enhancement** offers finer-grained control over the rendering pipeline's threading behavior, enabling more robust and performant shadow node management. | Feb 12 | 23 | grow |
| 0fabe263 | This commit provides a **critical bug fix** by making the **image prefetching JNI batching** thread-safe within the **React Native Android renderer**. It resolves **crashes** and **data corruption** in the `ImageFetcher` component, which previously occurred due to unsynchronized access to image request items (`items_`) during concurrent layout and mount operations. By introducing mutex locks to `requestImage` and `flushImageRequests` in `ImageFetcher.cpp` and adding a `std::mutex` member in `ImageFetcher.h`, the system now safely handles image requests originating from various threads. This ensures robust behavior when image requests are made from `ImageShadowNode` layout calls and flushed during `FabricUIManagerBinding::schedulerShouldRenderTransactions()`. | Dec 12 | 2 | waste |

| e581fa4f | This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **React Native Codegen** tool, enabling the generation of **optional object properties** for custom types in native component interfaces. It specifically modifies the `packages/react-native-codegen/src/generators/components/GeneratePropsH.js` module, updating functions like `generateStructsForComponent` and `generateStruct` to include conditional serialization logic. This enhancement ensures that when custom type instances are serialized, only properties explicitly defined on the object are included, leading to more precise and efficient native code generation for component props. | Dec 11 | 1 | grow |
| 5c3bfda6 | This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **React Native Codegen** tool, enabling it to generate native C++ `std::optional` types for component properties that are defined as optional and have no default value. It modifies the **codegen configuration schema** (`CodegenSchema.js`) by adding `generateOptionalProperties` flags to control this behavior. The **C++ prop generation** (`GeneratePropsCpp.js`) and **header generation** (`GeneratePropsH.js`) logic are updated to conditionally emit `std::optional` types based on these new flags. This enhancement improves the type safety and accuracy of native module interfaces by reflecting optionality directly in the C++ layer, impacting how optional JavaScript props are represented natively. | Dec 11 | 3 | grow |
| 936141f3 | This commit delivers a **bug fix** for the **Props 2.0 diffing mechanism** within the **Android HostPlatformViewProps implementation** of React Native. Previously, the `old` and `new` `accessibilityState` values were inadvertently flipped when passed to `updateAccessibilityStateProp` within the `getDiffProps` method in `HostPlatformViewProps.cpp`. This error caused the **disabled state output to be incorrectly flipped** when accessibility properties changed, leading to an inaccurate user experience. The fix corrects the argument order, ensuring proper diffing and accurate accessibility state updates for Android views. | Nov 18 | 1 | waste |
| 12228e3d | This commit introduces a **new capability** for **runtime validation** within React Native's **FabricMountingManager** on the Android JNI layer. Specifically, it adds a **debug-only check** in `getProps` that **compares the output of Props 1.5 with Props 2.0** to ensure no properties are missing from the newer Props 2.0 system. This validation helps maintain the integrity and correctness of the **Props 2.0 implementation** by catching potential regressions or discrepancies. The comparison is intentionally skipped for initial mounts due to differences in how Props 1.5 handles default property values, and a new helper function `isLayoutOnlyProp` was added to facilitate this process. | Nov 17 | 1 | grow |
| 1e169102 | This commit introduces the **`enableExclusivePropsUpdateAndroid` feature flag** to optimize **React Native's prop handling** on **Android**. This **new capability** allows the system to conditionally disable the older **Props 1.5 raw value merging** mechanism for components that fully support the more efficient **Props 2.0** system. By skipping redundant merging, this **optimization** aims to improve performance and reduce overhead in the **rendering pipeline** for compatible components. This change specifically affects the **prop management** and **shadow node update** logic, facilitating a smoother transition to Props 2.0 by providing a controlled rollout mechanism. | Nov 12 | 24 | grow |
| 4f490818 | This commit introduces the `collapsableChildren` prop into the **prop diffing mechanism** for **Android's `HostPlatformViewProps`** within React Native. This is a **maintenance and compatibility update** to prevent false error reports from the **Props 2.0 runtime validator**. By explicitly including `collapsableChildren` in the `getDiffProps` logic in `HostPlatformViewProps.cpp`, even though the prop isn't actively used by the Android view manager, the system avoids flagging it as an unknown or invalid prop. This change improves the stability and accuracy of the prop validation system, reducing developer friction for **Android platform development**. | Nov 11 | 1 | grow |
| a7dc9dbb | This commit introduces a **bug fix** to the **React Native renderer**, specifically within the **text component properties** handling. It modifies the `appendTextAttributesProps` function in `packages/react-native/ReactCommon/react/renderer/components/text/BaseTextProps.cpp` to correctly compare `opacity` values using `floatEquality`. This change prevents `NaN` float values from being incorrectly flagged as changes in the **Props 2.0 diff output**, even when their value remains `NaN`. By ensuring accurate comparison of `NaN` values, the commit reduces noise and improves the reliability of property change detection for text attributes. | Nov 11 | 1 | waste |
| d2bbd5ad | This commit introduces a **new capability** by implementing a **feature flag** to control **view preallocation** specifically for the **Android Fabric renderer**. The `disableViewPreallocationAndroid` flag is integrated across the **React Native Feature Flags system** (Java/Kotlin, C++, and JavaScript), allowing conditional disabling of preliminary view allocation. When enabled, this flag prevents the `FabricUIManager` from draining its preallocation queue in `onBatchComplete` and stops `schedulerDidRequestPreliminaryViewAllocation` from performing its function. This provides **developers with granular control** over a rendering optimization, enabling them to **tune performance and resource usage** for Android applications. | Nov 7 | 22 | grow |
| dca6f6d6 | This commit introduces a **new feature flag**, `disableImageViewPreallocationAndroid`, to provide granular control over view preallocation on **Android**. Specifically, it allows for **disabling view preallocation solely for image components** within the **FabricUIManager** rendering pipeline. This **new capability** extends the existing feature flag system across Kotlin, C++, and JavaScript interfaces. Developers can now fine-tune **performance and memory usage** for applications heavily relying on images by opting out of a default optimization that might not be beneficial in all scenarios. | Nov 7 | 21 | grow |
| 8123f319 | This commit introduces a **new feature flag**, `disableSubviewClippingAndroid`, to provide granular control over subview clipping behavior within **React Native Android** applications. This **enhancement** allows developers to conditionally disable subview clipping in core UI components such as `ReactHorizontalScrollView`, `ReactScrollView`, and `ReactViewGroup`. The flag is integrated across the entire `ReactNativeFeatureFlags` system, including Java, C++, and JavaScript layers, ensuring comprehensive access and configuration. This provides a mechanism to fine-tune rendering performance and visual fidelity, potentially resolving specific layout or rendering artifacts on Android by opting out of automatic subview clipping. | Nov 5 | 23 | grow |
| 54047f89 | This commit introduces a **performance optimization** and **refactoring** within the **Fabric mounting system** of **React Native's Android implementation**. It significantly improves the efficiency of the `getHashMapFromPropsReadableMap` method in `SurfaceMountingManager.java` by replacing an iterator-based approach with direct `hasKey()` and `getType()` lookups for "transform" and "opacity" properties. This change reduces the time complexity from O(n) to O(1) for these common properties, minimizing CPU overhead during property updates. Additionally, the `ArrayList` used for transform properties is now pre-sized, further reducing reallocations and enhancing overall UI rendering performance. | Nov 3 | 1 | maint |
| 91d5e991 | This commit provides a **bug fix** for the **React Native renderer's mounting process**, specifically addressing an issue when `syncOnCommit` is enabled alongside `passChildrenWhenCloningPersistedNodes` and `updateRuntimeShadowNodeReferencesOnCommit`. Previously, inserting shadow nodes between existing children would skip crucial reference updates, leading to invalid React renders that displayed outdated layout metrics. The change in `packages/react-native/ReactCommon/react/renderer/mounting/updateMountedFlag.cpp` now ensures that **runtime shadow node references are correctly updated for newly mounted children**, preventing these rendering inconsistencies. This resolves a problem where old revisions of layout metrics were incorrectly retained, improving the stability and correctness of UI rendering. | Oct 24 | 1 | waste |
| 851d59a6 | This commit **adds a new integration test** to the **React Native rendering pipeline** to validate a critical **bug fix** related to shadow node management. The test specifically covers the correct updating of **runtime shadow node references** when `syncOnCommit` is used in conjunction with `passChildrenWhenCloningPersistedNodes`. This **integration test** ensures the stability and accuracy of UI updates by verifying that shadow nodes are properly managed during complex cloning and commit operations, preventing potential rendering inconsistencies. The new test is located in `packages/react-native/Libraries/ReactNative/__tests__/SyncOnCommit-itest.js`. | Oct 24 | 1 | maint |
| 4c4270d6 | This commit introduces a **new capability** by adding the `endFillColor` property to the **Android ScrollView component's native props**. It modifies the `HostPlatformScrollViewProps` definition and implementation to include this new member, enabling the parsing, setting, debugging, and diffing of the `endFillColor` value, which defaults to `TRANSPARENT`. This enhancement allows developers to customize the visual appearance of the scroll view's end fill on Android, providing greater control over UI aesthetics for the **React Native Android platform**. | Oct 20 | 2 | grow |
