mika kuns 2a8991496f docs(explore-notes): report Phase 2a virtualization+drag gate spike
Headless Avalonia ListBox+VirtualizingStackPanel spike answers all five
questions from the Phase 2a gate task: containers stay bounded at 1000
items, the existing InputHitTest ghost-drag model survives recycling,
variable row heights don't drift the Extent (only naive index*height
math would), auto-scroll via Offset mutation is mechanically feasible,
and mixed header/task rows template correctly via implicit DataTemplates.
Recommendation: proceed to Phase 2b. Spike code itself is throwaway and
not checked in.

Explore-notes

Distilled, reusable maps of complex subsystems, produced by deep code exploration. The goal: stop re-exploring the same subsystem from scratch in every new session.

These sit between the CLAUDE.md files and the code:

  • CLAUDE.md — high-level orientation, hand-maintained, always-loaded.
  • explore-notes — deeper subsystem detail (flows, who-calls-whom, invariants) that is too fine-grained for a CLAUDE.md but stable enough to be worth caching. Read on demand.
  • code — the only source of truth.

Rules

  • Only stable structure. Flows, responsibilities, entry points, invariants, relative file paths. No line numbers, no exhaustive symbol dumps — those rot fastest.
  • Verify before trusting. A note is a starting map, not authority. Always confirm against current code before acting on it. Each note records the commit it was verified against so you can diff for drift.
  • Not a substitute for CLAUDE.md. If a fact belongs in orientation, put it there.

Header every note must carry

> **Explore-note — verify before trusting.** Distilled map of a subsystem, not authoritative.
> Last verified against commit `<short-hash>` (<date>).
> Drift check: `git log --oneline <short-hash>..HEAD -- <paths this note covers>`
> Stable structure only (no line numbers). See docs/explore-notes/README.md.

Workflow

  1. Before deep-exploring a subsystem, check for a matching note here and read it first; explore only to fill gaps or confirm.
  2. After a deep explore, distill the durable findings into a new/updated note and bump its "verified against" commit line.
  3. If the drift check shows the covered paths changed a lot since the verified commit, treat the note as suspect and re-verify the parts you rely on.
