What changes for the user

On Several batches, choosing a batch's format, switching the base or choosing a base preset works the form out once instead of twice. With upload-validation as the base, switching the base takes half as long.

Why it read twice

rebuild said what the form comes to on the line under the buttons. A menu or a switch on this screen is also followed by the live check (recheck), which reads the form for the line and the box, so every such change read the form twice. With a base preset, each reading expanded that preset. Adding or duplicating a batch also read twice: choosing the new batch's format laid the screen out once, and the press laid it out a second time.

What changed

  • rebuild only lays the screen out.
  • A menu or a switch is said by recheck, as it already was.
  • A press that no box reports (add, duplicate or remove a batch, add or remove what an archive holds) goes through the new afterAPress, which lays out and says the line once.

Measured

tools/probes/guilag, the real window, this branch (based on main, without #132) interleaved with main, two runs each:

main this branch
switching the base to upload-validation 286-392 ms / 120 MB 145-166 ms / 62 MB
switching the base to tabular-import 79-102 ms / 171 MB 42-48 ms / 87 MB
adding a batch (1st to 10th) 17-93 ms 17-98 ms, no change

Adding a batch does not get faster. Without a base, reading the form is cheap, and what grows is laying out a longer screen.

Guard

TestAChangeThatLaysTheBatchScreenOutAgainReadsTheFormOnce asks for exactly one reading from four menus and switches and six presses. Nought readings fails too, because after a press nothing else would say the line. It is red on main in seven of the ten cases. Two mutation entries (the layout says the line again, a press forgets the line) are both caught.

After review

Switching the base off with no batch left brought a batch back through the add path, which says the line, and the switch's recheck then read the form again. That was two readings, reproduced by the guard before the fix. newBatchAtTheEnd now adds the batch without saying anything. The guard removes every batch with the base on, switches the base off, and asks for one reading and a batch back. The mutation that restores the old path is caught.

main (with #132) is merged into this branch.

Walkthrough

Recipe-form actions now use a shared callback to rebuild the form and refresh runner status. A new test checks that listed format, base, batch, and archive-content actions each read the form once. The changelog records the related behavior and timing.

A new afterAPress helper rebuilds the form and refreshes runner status. Adding or removing batches and archive contents now uses the helper. The new test checks that listed actions read the form exactly once. The changelog records the related form-computation behavior and timing.

Switching off an empty base still does the form work twice. This narrow performance gap is suitable for a bounded fix before merge or explicit follow-up.

Read the form once when switching off an empty base.

If the base is on and the last batch has been removed, switching the base off calls addBatch. This afterAPress call reads the form, and the switch's recheck reads it again. Restore the batch without reporting from addBatch on that path, then let recheck report once. Add that empty-batch transition to the guard in internal/guard/settleonce_test.go. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per path instructions, tests must cover “missing edge cases (empty, None/nil, boundary, error paths).”

… saying the line twice

Raised in review. The switch brought the batch back through addBatch, which
lays out and says the line, and the switch's own check then said it again -
two readings, measured by the guard before the change. newBatchAtTheEnd puts
the batch in without saying anything; addBatch is that and afterAPress. The
guard now removes every batch with the base on, switches the base off, and
asks for one reading and a batch back.
