 ## 2026-07-12 - Optimize renderTaskRow DOM allocations
 **Learning:** Caching unattached template nodes and instantiating them via `.cloneNode(false)` reduces DOM instantiation overhead in O(N) render loops significantly.
 **Action:** Apply this optimization to other hot-path rendering elements such as rows, cells, and stack containers.

+## 2026-08-10 - JSDOM Global Caching Danger
+**Learning:** Caching unattached DOM elements in module-level global variables (e.g., `let rowTemplate = document.createElement('tr')`) and reusing them via `cloneNode()` across renders is a dangerous anti-pattern in environments tested with JSDOM. JSDOM recreates the `document` context per test. Cloned nodes retain the original `document` reference, causing `HierarchyRequestError` or `WrongDocumentError` when appending them to a new test's `document`.
+**Action:** Avoid global DOM caching optimizations in frontend codebases heavily reliant on JSDOM. If caching is necessary for extreme performance, encapsulate the template cache within a factory function or class that is scoped to the current `document` instance, or ensure templates are re-initialized when the `document` context changes.
