31 - Established a benchmark that renders a large synthetic transcript with assistant markdown, tool calls, and tool results so repeated `BuildWithAnchors` calls exercise the cache and transcript bookkeeping hot path.
32 - Cached transcript-derived metadata in `View`: tool-call path/label maps, per-message hashes, and assistant `turnOpen` state are now built incrementally as `Messages` grows instead of recomputed on every redraw.
33 - Fixed `autoresearch.sh` metric extraction so `go test -benchmem` columns are parsed into numeric `ns/op`, `B/op`, and `allocs/op` medians.
34+- Profiling showed `hashMessage` still dominated CPU after the first cache pass because `BuildWithAnchors` eagerly recomputed a hash before checking the cached slice; deferring the fallback hash path cut steady-state render cost by another order of magnitude.
