Description

Nature of issue?
  • New feature request
New feature details:

As suggested in the discussion in #1337 and through issues such as #1213, I think many saving issues will be alleviated by switching to dispatch changes to sketches rather than replacing the entire contents on the sketch.

Research direction

Start by reading the discussion in #1337 and related issue #1213, then trace the sketch save and update flow to determine where full sketch contents are replaced. Define the CRDT migration scope and verify that sketch changes are dispatched incrementally without the saving issues described in those discussions.
