💡 What: Replaced intermediate array allocations (segments.push(...) followed by .join(" ")) with a single-pass for loop and direct string concatenation (d += ...) when building SVG path strings.

🎯 Why: During high-frequency re-renders (like updating real-time data plots), repeatedly allocating arrays and invoking closures creates unnecessary memory overhead and forces the V8 engine into frequent garbage collection pauses, which degrades UI responsiveness.

📊 Impact: Reduces intermediate array allocations during path building for the LinePlot, ScatterPlot, and SpectrumPlot data visualizations from O(N) objects to zero, directly reducing main thread stalls caused by garbage collection.

🔬 Measurement: Verify by rendering large streams of time-series data or scatter point data using the respective components and observing memory snapshots in the Chrome DevTools Memory tab; the amount of memory allocated for (string) arrays during redraws will be noticeably reduced.

Replaced `segments.push(...); return segments.join(" ")` with a single-pass `for` loop and string concatenation (`d += ...`) in `LinePlot`, `ScatterPlot`, and `SpectrumPlot`'s `buildPath` functions to reduce intermediate array allocation and V8 garbage collection pressure during high-frequency UI renders.

Consolidation audit 2026-08-13 — this work is carried by #4438, not #4429

#4429 (consolidated/comprehensive-palette-bolt-tools) listed this PR in its Closes block, but #4429 was closed unmerged. Its quality-gate failed at Format Check (ruff-format): its own pre-commit commits re-wrapped 86 files with a ruff build that disagrees with the CI-pinned ruff==0.14.10, so CI kept rejecting formatting that main already had correct.

A squash of #442991ea71b93 🎨 Palette & Bolt Suite: … (#4429) — had already been pushed onto consolidated/codex-variation-suite (#4438) by an earlier consolidation attempt, and that branch's quality-gate was green because a follow-up commit re-ran the pinned formatter. Normalising formatting on both sides (one ruff format pass, identical settings, all 93 differing .py files) showed #4438's tree to be a strict semantic superset of #4429's: the only files that differed were the two motion-view files #4438 adds.

So #4438 was retitled CONS-B1 and landed; #4429, #4437 and #4439 were closed as superseded (#4437 and #4439 had byte-identical trees to each other).

This PR's content is carried by #4438.

…tion (#4438)

Consolidates the Palette & Bolt suite that originated in #4429 (squash 91ea71b,
itself covering merges of #4313, #4314, #4419, #4420) plus a movement-optimizer
motion-view extraction, with Python formatting corrected to the CI-pinned
ruff==0.14.10 and a Python 3.10 regression reverted.

Substance:
- Palette: form semantics, useId() label binding and role="alert" in
  RotationConverter.tsx and ODESolverCalculator.tsx.
- Bolt: single-pass CSV string building in chartSnapshot.ts, Array.from removal
  in explorer/csv.ts, fewer intermediate allocations for SVG paths in
  LinePlot/ScatterPlot/SpectrumPlot.tsx.
- refactor(movement-optimizer): extract MotionViewMixin into
  src/movement_optimizer/gui/motion_view.py.
- fix(ci): correct sparse-checkout paths in cross-repo-python-integration.yml.
- fix(tests): restore timezone.utc in test_action_audit.py; a pre-commit ruff
  pass had moved a noqa off its line, letting UP017 rewrite the import to
  datetime.UTC, which does not exist on Python 3.10.

Supersedes, all closed as containing nothing this branch lacks:
- #4429 — the original palette/bolt branch; quality-gate red at Format Check
  because its own pre-commit commits re-wrapped 86 files with a ruff that
  disagrees with the pin. Proven a strict semantic subset of this tree by
  normalising both sides with one ruff format pass.
- #4437 and #4439 — byte-identical trees to each other (7fc2ce4), each only
  the #4429 squash plus a lint commit, despite advertising flight and
  rate-of-closure work.

Palette/Bolt work items carried: #4310, #4311, #4313, #4314, #4418, #4419,
#4420, #4421.

None of the 59 still-open agent PRs named in the three closed PRs' descriptions
are in this diff; they remain open and unconsolidated.
