Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first trace where ICS parsing and expansion currently run in the JavaScript application. Investigate the worker boundary and communication needed for that work. Done means parsing and expansion run in a web worker, rendering is faster, and the interface does not freeze during an expansion loop.
