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.

| fe046dc7 | This commit **fixes a critical Android crash** that occurred when `experimental_backgroundSize` values like `cover` or `contain` were applied to gradient backgrounds (`experimental_backgroundImage`). These keywords are only valid for image URLs, not gradients, and their incorrect parsing led to a divide-by-zero error in the native rendering code. The **bug fix** involves **updating `StyleSheetTypes.js` and `processBackgroundSize.js` to prevent parsing these keywords for gradients**, ensuring they return empty arrays. Additionally, **Android native modules (`BackgroundImageDrawable.kt`, `ReactViewManager.kt`) are updated to safely handle empty or invalid background property lists**, preventing runtime exceptions. This ensures the **React Native styling system** gracefully ignores unsupported `backgroundSize` values for gradients, enhancing application stability on Android. | Mar 19 | 7 | waste |

| c8e5f976 | This commit provides a **bug fix** for **iOS** to resolve rendering and interaction issues when `boxShadow` and `overflow: hidden` are used together. It corrects the `hitTest` logic within the **Fabric `RCTViewComponentView`** to ensure `pointerEvents="box-none"` is respected, preventing unintended press events on views with shadows. Additionally, it addresses a clipping bug where `transform: scale` combined with `overflow: hidden` would incorrectly hide child views. The fix involves initializing the internal `_containerView` using `self.bounds` instead of `self.frame` in `updateLayoutMetrics`, ensuring proper visual rendering and touch event handling for complex view hierarchies on iOS. | Sep 18 | 2 | waste |
| b365e265 | This commit introduces a **new blur filter capability for iOS** by leveraging **SwiftUI**, providing a safe and extensible mechanism for future SwiftUI-based effects. It integrates a **SwiftUI container view** into `RCTViewComponentView` to apply the blur, avoiding the use of private APIs. The **new feature** is controlled by an `enableSwiftUIBasedFilters` **feature flag** and includes comprehensive updates to the build system to support the new Swift modules. This establishes a foundation for adding more advanced, platform-specific UI features on iOS using modern Apple frameworks. | Sep 15 | 32 | grow |
| 6da351a5 | This commit delivers a **bug fix** for the **iOS Fabric renderer** to resolve an issue with the vertical alignment of **inline `View` components nested within a `Text` component that specifies a `lineHeight`**. Previously, these inline views were misaligned due to an incorrect frame calculation. The fix, implemented in `RCTTextLayoutManager.mm`, now correctly calculates the inline view's frame by using **glyph height and font descender** instead of the layout manager's baseline. This change ensures proper visual rendering and consistency for inline `View` attachments on iOS, mirroring the behavior of the Paper renderer. | Aug 20 | 1 | waste |
| 138d0eb0 | This commit **adds support for the `filter` style property** to the **Native Animated driver** in React Native. By updating the `NativeAnimatedAllowlist.js` file, it enables developers to use the `filter` property with native animations. This is a **new capability** that allows for more performant and fluid UI effects, such as animating blur or brightness, directly on the native thread. | Aug 6 | 1 | grow |
| 097d4824 | This commit introduces a **bug fix** for **iOS gradient rendering**, resolving an issue where gradients transitioning to a transparent color appeared dark or "muddy." Previously, the `CAGradientLayer` on iOS would incorrectly interpolate to `rgba(0,0,0,0)`, causing the color's RGB components to fade to black. The **fix** ensures that when a gradient fades to `transparent`, only the alpha channel is interpolated to zero, preserving the original color's hue. This **improves the visual quality** of **linear and radial gradients** on iOS, ensuring their behavior is consistent with Android and web platforms. | Jul 3 | 5 | waste |
| f238b746 | This commit introduces a significant **optimization** and **refactoring** to the **iOS radial gradient rendering** implementation. It replaces the previous Core Graphics-based approach with `CAGradientLayer` in `RCTRadialGradient.mm`, leveraging Core Animation's native capabilities. This change not only **improves performance** but also correctly interprets `endPoints` for radial gradients, enabling the accurate drawing of **ellipse gradients**. The update ensures more consistent gradient rendering behavior across different platforms, aligning iOS with web and Android implementations. | Jun 24 | 3 | maint |
| 2f3b1042 | This commit **optimizes** the **iOS linear gradient rendering** within React Native's Fabric architecture by **refactoring** its implementation to leverage `CAGradientLayer` instead of Core Graphics.

The primary impact is **significantly improved performance** for linear gradients on iOS, providing a more efficient and visually consistent rendering experience across platforms. | Jun 19 | 6 | grow |
| 1b45dc80 | This commit **introduces the capability to define and render radial gradients** within React Native's styling system, building upon the existing `experimental_backgroundImage` property. It **extends the `StyleSheet` processing logic** by adding new type definitions in `StyleSheetTypes.js` for radial gradient properties like shape, size, and position. The core **`processBackgroundImage.js` module is refactored and extended** to parse and process radial gradients from both CSS strings and object styles, with comprehensive test cases added in `processBackgroundImage-test.js`. This **new feature** allows developers to leverage radial gradients for richer UI designs, and example usage has been integrated into the **RNTester app** for both iOS and Android. | Apr 17 | 8 | grow |
