perf: weekly react best-practices audit fixes

[smakosh]

Weekly React/Next.js best-practices audit against Vercel's react-best-practices guide. Last week's audit PR #3865 is still open, so this week covers only new findings it does not touch — primarily code merged since it was created (the jelly 404 pages, the Airside carrier-fallback rework of the model/provider pages) — and deliberately avoids overlapping any of its changes or re-litigating its documented deferrals. Nothing touches export const dynamic, routing, or user-visible behavior.

Fixes

packages/shared (serves the ui, code, and playground 404 pages)

• Dynamic Imports for Heavy Components / Defer Non-Critical Third-Party Libraries (rules 2.4, 2.3) — components/jelly/jelly-logo.tsx. The new jelly 404 page statically imported createJellyScene, which pulls in three.js plus the WebGL scene/physics code — a 622 KB minified (~157 KB gzip) chunk — into every 404 page's initial JS, even though the scene only initializes inside a mount effect, is optional (WebGL failure already falls back to the static logo), and the component renders a complete static fallback until the scene reports ready. The scene module now loads via import() inside that effect, so the 404 page's initial chunk drops to ~3 KB and the "404" fallback paints immediately; an import failure logs a warning and keeps the static logo, matching the existing WebGL-failure path. Verified in the playground build output that the scene compiles to its own async chunk, separate from the not-found entry chunk. Same pattern as the repo's existing on-demand html-to-image import.

apps/ui

• Promise.all() for Independent Operations (rule 1.5) — app/providers/[id]/page.tsx. The static-provider path awaited fetchProviders() and then fetchModels() serially — two independent catalogue round-trips — while the dynamic-carrier fallback in the same file already runs them with Promise.all. Both paths are parallel now.
• Dependency-Based Parallelization (rule 1.3) — app/models/[name]/page.tsx. The page ran three sequential await points: findPublicModelDefinition (which fetches the model catalogue), then Promise.all(discounts, ratings), then fetchProviders(). Discounts, ratings, and provider branding depend only on the model id from the URL, not on the resolved definition, so all four requests now share one Promise.all; the notFound() check moves after it. On the not-found path this speculatively fetches three cheap public catalogue GETs (all React.cached with 60 s revalidation) — the trade the guide's rule 1.3 explicitly makes.
• Dependency-Based Parallelization (rule 1.3) — app/models/[name]/[provider]/page.tsx. Same shape: discounts and ratings waited behind the model-definition fetch they don't depend on. They now resolve in one Promise.all with it. The conditional fetchProviders() for DB-only carriers stays deferred (rule 1.2) — static providers, the common case, never pay for it.
• Promise.all() for Independent Operations (rule 1.5) — app/models/[name]/uptime/page.tsx. fetchProviders() waited behind findPublicModelDefinition; the two are independent and now run in one round-trip.

Each model/provider page renders with revalidate: 60, so these waterfalls were paid on every revalidation render (and every dev render), stacking two to three serial API round-trips ahead of first byte.

Considered and deliberately skipped

• Anything involving export const dynamic — intentional (runtime env loading); excluded per repo policy.
• Everything perf: weekly react best-practices audit fixes #3865 already fixes or defers — its open changes (formatter caches, teams gating, code-block dedup, Stripe form split, docs image loading) and its documented deferrals (token-cost-calculator/model-comparison bundles, teams detail initialData, docs lucide-react aggregate, ActivityHeatmap DOM, referral-effect mutations) were re-checked only to avoid overlap, not re-done.
• ui dashboard-client.tsx runs ~14 separate .reduce passes over the activity rows (rule 7.6) — ≤400 rows and React-Compiler-memoized, so absolute cost is microseconds; skipped as a low-impact micro-optimization per audit priorities.
• ui organization-retention-settings.tsx syncs its radio state from the org query via useEffect (rule 5.1) — same pattern perf: weekly react best-practices audit fixes #3865 defers for the teams page: the minimal fix is a keyed/derived-state restructure with user-facing semantics (background refetch vs unsaved edit), not a surgical perf diff.
• New census, rankings, org-skills, apps-grid, and dashboard-chart code audited clean — module-level Intl formatters, memoized filters/sorts, gated parallel queries, and key-based form resets throughout; the patterns previous audits fixed are now standard in new code.
• playground chat-page-client.tsx ensure-key flow — this week's rework already adds in-flight dedup and generation guards; nothing further needed.

Verification

• pnpm build: 17 of 19 workspaces green with these changes (shared, code, playground, docs, admin, api, gateway included). ui#build fails identically on a clean origin/main checkout in this sandbox — a TLS-intercepting proxy breaks an outbound fetch during OG-image prerendering (SELF_SIGNED_CERT_IN_CHAIN on /compare/litellm/opengraph-image), so the failure is environmental and pre-existing, not from this diff. ui's next build compile stage passes with these changes, and pnpm exec tsc in apps/ui (the type-check step its build script only reaches after next build) passes clean.
• Playground build output confirms the jelly scene emits as a separate async chunk (622 KB) with the not-found entry chunk at ~3 KB.
• pnpm format clean; lint-staged (eslint + prettier) passed on commit.
• No visual changes intended anywhere — the 404 pages render the same static fallback first, which they already rendered before the scene signaled ready — so no before/after screenshots.

Note: this session pushes to its designated branch, so the head branch is claude/upbeat-johnson-oe4rc5 rather than the chore/react-bp-audit-2026-09-07 naming convention (same situation as #3518/#3784/#3865); future audits should locate this PR by title.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Performance
  • Improved loading speed across model, provider, and uptime pages by fetching relevant information concurrently.
  • Unknown models now reach the not-found page without waiting for unrelated data requests.
  • Reduced initial loading work on the 404 page by loading the animated logo only when needed.
  • Improved resilience when loading the 404-page animation, including safer handling of loading errors and interrupted page navigation.

Walkthrough

The PR runs independent model, provider, discount, and ratings requests concurrently while preserving early notFound() handling. It also dynamically loads the jelly scene and defers its setup and cleanup.

Changes

Concurrent page data loading

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Model page request ordering apps/ui/src/app/models/[name]/[provider]/page.tsx, apps/ui/src/app/models/[name]/page.tsx	Model pages start secondary requests in parallel with model definition lookup. They await the model definition before notFound(), then await the remaining data.
Catalogue request concurrency apps/ui/src/app/models/[name]/uptime/page.tsx, apps/ui/src/app/providers/[id]/page.tsx	Uptime and provider pages fetch independent model and provider data concurrently while preserving existing processing.

Deferred jelly scene loading

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dynamic jelly scene lifecycle packages/shared/src/components/jelly/jelly-logo.tsx	The jelly logo dynamically imports the scene module, guards asynchronous creation after unmount, handles load and creation failures, and defers observer, event, and disposal logic.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a9be9

This change defers the Jelly scene and parallelizes independent catalogue requests while preserving early unknown-model responses. No current merge-blocking risk is identified.
