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.

Use Transitions for Non-Urgent Updates

Mark frequent, non-urgent state updates as transitions to maintain UI responsiveness.

Incorrect (blocks UI on every scroll):

function ScrollTracker() {
  const [scrollY, setScrollY] = useState(0);
  useEffect(() => {
    const handler = () => setScrollY(window.scrollY);
    window.addEventListener('scroll', handler, { passive: true });
    return () => window.removeEventListener('scroll', handler);
  }, []);
}

Correct (non-blocking updates):

import { startTransition } from 'react';

function ScrollTracker() {
  const [scrollY, setScrollY] = useState(0);
  useEffect(() => {
    const handler = () => {
      startTransition(() => setScrollY(window.scrollY));
    };
    window.addEventListener('scroll', handler, { passive: true });
    return () => window.removeEventListener('scroll', handler);
  }, []);
}
