Performance (4 PRs)

• ⚡ Bolt: Hoist LaTeX escape dictionaries to module level #440 — Hoist LATEX_SPECIAL_CHARS dict + LATEX_ESCAPE_PATTERN regex to module level in app.py and resume_generator_latex.py (avoids re-compiling on every _escape_latex() call)
• ⚡ Bolt: Replace O(N^2) array scan with O(1) Map lookup in keyword matcher #456 — Replace O(N²) nested array.find() with pre-computed Map in keyword matcher subsumption logic
• ⚡ Bolt: [performance improvement] Parallelize icon base64 conversions in useIconRegistry #421 — Parallelize icon base64 conversions in useIconRegistry (sequential for-await → Promise.all)
• ⚡ Bolt: [performance improvement] Optimize resumeData dependency in useSaveIntegration #404 — Memoize resumeData object in useSaveIntegration to prevent referential inequality triggering unnecessary JSON.stringify in useCloudSave

Accessibility (6 PRs)

• 🎨 Palette: [UX improvement] Add accessibility attributes to StorageLimitModal #449 — StorageLimitModal: role="dialog", aria-modal, aria-labelledby, focus-visible rings
• 🎨 Palette: [UX improvement] Improve IconManager Keyboard Accessibility #434 — IconManager: hidden → sr-only peer file input, peer-focus-visible ring, clear button aria-label
• 🎨 Palette: [UX improvement] Add accessibility labels and keyboard focus to SectionEditor buttons #414 — SectionEditor: aria-labels + focus-visible on Save/Cancel/Edit/Remove/Add Item buttons
• 🎨 Palette: [Add keyboard focus states to Confirm Dialog] #399 — ResponsiveConfirmDialog: focus-visible rings on Close/Cancel/Confirm (design-system-aware colors)
• 🎨 Palette: [Make UploadResumeModal accessible for keyboard users] #442 — UploadResumeModal: role="dialog", aria-modal, aria-labelledby, sr-only peer file input, focus-visible on all buttons
• 🎨 Palette: [UX improvement] Add focus rings to ResumeCard action buttons #420 — ResumeCard: focus-visible rings on Edit Resume and Download PDF buttons (a11y changes only — skipped unrelated quote normalization from original PR)

Regression Tests (135 new tests)

• keywordMatcher.test.ts — 5 tests for subsumption logic with Map optimization
• StorageLimitModal.test.tsx — 6 tests for dialog semantics + focus rings
• IconManager.test.tsx — 4 tests for sr-only input + clear button a11y

Test plan

• Full vitest suite: 1473 tests pass, 0 failures
• Manual: Tab through editor — verify focus rings on SectionEditor buttons
• Manual: Tab through My Resumes — verify focus rings on Edit/Download buttons
• Manual: Open StorageLimitModal, UploadResumeModal — verify dialog semantics
• Manual: Upload icon in editor — verify keyboard focus on IconManager
• Manual: Generate a PDF — verify LaTeX escaping still works correctly
• Manual: Use keyword matcher — verify results unchanged

Code Review

This pull request introduces accessibility (A11y) enhancements across multiple UI components, including IconManager, ResponsiveConfirmDialog, and several modals, by implementing ARIA roles, descriptive labels, and focus-visible indicators. Performance optimizations were also applied, such as memoizing resume data in useSaveIntegration, parallelizing icon processing in useIconRegistry, and optimizing keyword matching with O(1) lookups. Refactoring of LaTeX escaping logic was performed for better efficiency. Feedback was provided regarding the fallback state for memoized data and the accuracy of dependency tracking for array-based state.

[gemini-code-assist]

The memoization of resumeDataForCloudSave is a good performance optimization. However, when contactInfo or templateId is missing, consider using a dedicated 'unknown' or invalid state (like null) instead of defaulting to a valid object literal. This makes the missing data explicit and prevents silent failures downstream. Additionally, ensure that if sections is an array, you use sections.join(',') in the dependency array to correctly detect content changes rather than just the array reference.

1. When parsing structured data, use a dedicated 'unknown' or invalid state for fallbacks instead of defaulting to a valid state to make parsing errors explicit and prevent silent failures.
2. The dependency array of useMemo should include the values that the memoized calculation depends on. For arrays, use array.join(',') to detect changes in the array's content.

@gemini-code-assist Thanks for the review. Both points are safe to dismiss here:

1. Fallback object → null: This fallback already existed in the original inline code before this PR — we're only wrapping it in useMemo, not changing the logic. Switching to null would break useCloudSave, which expects a non-null resumeData object. No change needed.

2. sections.join(',') in deps: sections is an array of Section objects (not strings), so .join(',') would produce [object Object],[object Object] — useless for change detection. The current approach correctly relies on React's standard immutable state updates producing new array references. Additionally, useCloudSave already does its own JSON.stringify deep comparison internally, so referential equality at this level is sufficient.

Thank you for the clarification, aafre. Your points regarding the existing fallback logic and the nature of the sections array are well-taken and make sense in this context. I appreciate the additional detail on how useCloudSave handles deep comparison, which confirms that the current approach is robust.
