fargo 1a822493ba format: apply repo prettier (3.8.1) to the folded skills tree
963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so
pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file.

The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences
(TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors,
one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs
the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent
markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

Extract Default Non-primitive Parameter Value from Memoized Component to Constant MEDIUM restores memoization by using a constant for default value rerender, memo, optimization

Extract Default Non-primitive Parameter Value from Memoized Component to Constant

When memoized component has a default value for some non-primitive optional parameter, such as an array, function, or object, calling the component without that parameter results in broken memoization. This is because new value instances are created on every rerender, and they do not pass strict equality comparison in memo().

To address this issue, extract the default value into a constant.

Incorrect (onClick has different values on every rerender):

const UserAvatar = memo(function UserAvatar({ onClick = () => {} }: { onClick?: () => void }) {
  // ...
})

// Used without optional onClick
<UserAvatar />

Correct (stable default value):

const NOOP = () => {};

const UserAvatar = memo(function UserAvatar({ onClick = NOOP }: { onClick?: () => void }) {
  // ...
})

// Used without optional onClick
<UserAvatar />
