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.

| 5964a197 | This commit **removes** the `fixTextClippingAndroid15useBoundsForWidth` feature flag and all associated code, effectively **reverting** the **Android text layout measurement** logic to its stable, advance-based method. This **maintenance** and **bug fix** addresses multiple reported text clipping issues by eliminating a problematic visual-bounds-based width calculation in `TextLayoutManager.kt` that was never shipped. The deletion encompasses the entire feature flag plumbing across C++, JNI, Kotlin, and JavaScript, ensuring a more reliable and consistent **text rendering** experience on **Android** by removing an unstable, experimental path. | Mar 31 | 23 | waste |
| f71ec1a2 | This commit provides a **bug fix** for a **crash** occurring in the **React Native Android text measurement system** when `FabricUIManager.prepareTextLayout()` attempts to measure text for a surface that has already been stopped. The issue stemmed from `surfaceMountingManager.getContext()` returning `null`, which was then used to retrieve the `AssetManager` for font resolution. The **core change** involves **refactoring** text layout and measurement functions across `FabricUIManager.java`, `TextLayoutManager.kt`, `FontMetricsUtil.kt`, `ReactTextViewManager.kt`, and `ReactTextInputManager.kt` to directly accept the application's `AssetManager`. This **eliminates the crash** by bypassing the problematic context lookup, ensuring consistent font resolution, and clarifying that text layout is independent of activity-specific contexts. | Mar 10 | 6 | waste |
| d527f2d6 | This commit provides a **bug fix** for the **Android text rendering** system, specifically within `TextLayoutManager.kt`. It resolves a crash that occurred when `BoringLayout.isBoring()` would sometimes return text metrics with a negative width for certain strings, even on Android 15+. The fix introduces a check within the `isBoring` function to detect these invalid negative widths, and when found, it **falls back to using `StaticLayout`** for layout calculation. This prevents application crashes and significantly improves the **stability of text layout** for edge-case strings on Android. | Mar 9 | 1 | waste |
| 1722aa99 | This commit **enhances the readability of debug output** by standardizing the representation of floating-point `NaN` and `Infinity` values. It modifies the `toString` function within the **`DebugStringConvertible`** utility in `ReactCommon/react/renderer/debug` to render these as "NaN", "Infinity", and "-Infinity" instead of their lowercase stream defaults. This **maintenance** change **aligns React Native debug strings with developer expectations and JavaScript conventions**, making logs and snapshots clearer. Snapshot tests for **`Pressable`** and **`Text`** components were updated to reflect this improved rendering. | Mar 6 | 3 | grow |
| a18f8026 | This commit provides a **build fix** for the **Yoga layout engine** within **React Native**, specifically addressing a **GCC `-Werror=return-type` warning**. It modifies `packages/react-native/ReactCommon/yoga/yoga/YGNodeStyle.cpp` by adding `fatalWithMessage` calls to the `gridTrackSizeFromTypeAndValue` and `styleSizeLengthFromTypeAndValue` functions. This ensures that exhaustive switch statements in these functions explicitly handle all code paths, preventing compilation failures when building with GCC's strict warning flags. The change improves **compiler compatibility** and maintains the robustness of the styling and layout calculation logic. | Mar 6 | 1 | waste |
| 3483dfa4 | This commit **fixes flaky test comparisons** in **Fantom test assertions** by standardizing the **debug output of float values** to 4 decimal places. It **refactors** the `toString` method in `DebugStringConvertible.cpp` to use `snprintf` for this formatting, replacing the `double-conversion` library and removing its dependency from the build system. This ensures consistent debug layout metrics across platforms, impacting numerous `itest.js` files that have been updated to reflect the new output. Since this change is confined to debug-only code, the precision adjustment is safe for all consumers and improves overall test reliability. | Mar 6 | 16 | maint |
| d5a271dd | This commit **significantly expands the E2E testing coverage** for the **`Text` component** by introducing **screenshot tests** for nine visual examples that previously lacked automated validation.

| 48b6f2dc | This commit **expands the E2E testing suite** by introducing **screenshot tests for seven visual examples of the `Image` component**, significantly improving coverage for its rendering behavior. It adds new tests for `static-image`, `tint-color`, `opacity`, `nesting-content`, `nesting-image-background`, `blur-radius`, and `base64-image` within `ImageExample.js`, which previously lacked dedicated E2E validation. This **new capability** ensures greater **visual consistency and reliability** for the `Image` component across platforms, with most tests being cross-platform and `base64-image` being iOS-specific. | Mar 6 | 3 | – |
| 58d570bd | This commit **enhances the E2E testing suite** by introducing **new screenshot tests** for the **`ActivityIndicator` component** and the **`Appearance` API**. It achieves this by adding `name` fields to existing examples for both `ActivityIndicator` (covering default and custom-color variants) and `Appearance` (testing forced-light and forced-dark themes). These **new E2E tests** significantly **improve visual regression testing** for these fundamental UI elements and theme management, helping to catch unintended visual changes and ensuring greater stability for core UI components. | Mar 6 | 6 | – |
| 3cca0d4f | This commit performs a significant **refactoring** of the **Yoga JavaScript bindings** by entirely removing the `embind` layer, which previously bridged C++ wrapper classes to JavaScript. JavaScript now directly calls Yoga's C API through a thin C bridge (`wasm_bridge.c`) and rewritten JS classes (`wrapAssembly.ts`), which manage WASM pointers and tree hierarchy. This change **optimizes performance** and **reduces bundle size** by eliminating `embind`'s overhead, resulting in up to 4.3x faster layout calculations and a 16.2% smaller gzipped bundle. The public API shape for `Yoga`, `Node`, and `Config` types remains **identical**, ensuring no breaking changes for consumers while delivering substantial improvements. | Mar 5 | 1 | maint |
