Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating ConsumerWidget and ref.watch usages in the Flutter codebase, then identify widgets where expensive siblings rebuild unnecessarily; done means applying the requested selective-consumer pattern and verifying the affected behavior.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
// Before: Entire widget rebuilds
class MyWidget extends ConsumerWidget {
  Widget build(context, ref) {
    final state = ref.watch(provider);
    return Column(children: [
      ExpensiveWidget(), // Rebuilds unnecessarily
      Text(state.value),
    ]);
  }
}

// After: Selective rebuilds
class MyWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  Widget build(context) {
    return Column(children: [
      const ExpensiveWidget(), // Won't rebuild
      Consumer(builder: (context, ref, child) {
        final state = ref.watch(provider);
        return Text(state.value);
      }),
    ]);
  }
