Description
### What is this about?
- **Three audit areas** as requested:
- 🔥 Release-Profiler trace & analysis
- 🌐 API audit (duplicate calls, timing issues)
- 💾 Controller state analysis (ever-growing state)
## 🎯 Deliverables
1. **Time-boxed**: 1-2 days (12-17 hours)
2. **Three reports**: One for each audit area
3. **Actionable output**: Implementation tickets for all findings including preventative measures
4. **Quantitative focus**: Emphasizes measurements (ms, KB, %) not subjective assessments
5. **Performance best practices**:
- Using physical devices for profiling
- API calls
- Watch for duplicate calls
- Watch for calls when they are not needed
- State cleanup strategies
- Caching opportunities

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading docs/readme/release-build-profiler.md and docs/readme/performance.md, then use a physical device with the release profiler, API tracing, SpeedScope, and Redux DevTools. Done means producing three quantitative audit reports covering profiling, API calls, and controller state, plus actionable implementation tickets and preventative measures for each finding.
