Feed rendering was causing significant jank on mid-range Android devices. Users were abandoning sessions within the first 30 seconds at a rate 22% above benchmark.

Profiled the render pipeline, implemented virtualized lists, deferred off-screen asset loading, and restructured the state management layer to minimize unnecessary re-renders.
