Matthias Meister 1fb8fd2863 Refactor canvas storage URL handling and integrate adjustment presets
- Introduced a new `CanvasPresetsProvider` to manage adjustment presets for nodes, enhancing state management and reducing reactivity.
- Updated storage URL resolution to utilize a mutation instead of a reactive query, improving performance and reducing unnecessary re-renders.
- Refactored adjustment nodes (color-adjust, curves, detail-adjust, light-adjust) to use the new preset context for fetching user presets.
- Improved overall canvas functionality by streamlining storage ID collection and URL resolution processes.

Canvas Convex Load Shedding Implementation Plan

For Claude: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

Goal: Reduce Convex canvas-page load by removing non-essential hot-path queries and collapsing redundant read models.

Architecture: The canvas keeps nodes:list, edges:list, and canvases:get as the primary real-time model while shedding secondary reads. Storage URLs move to a client-derived fallback path, presets move to a shared context backed by one query, and the toolbar stops depending on the subscription query.

Tech Stack: Next.js 16, React 19, Convex, React Flow, TypeScript


Task 1: Remove unnecessary canvas hot-path queries

Files:

  • Modify: components/canvas/canvas.tsx
  • Modify: components/canvas/credit-display.tsx
  • Modify: components/canvas/canvas-toolbar.tsx

Step 1: Remove the debug-only api.auth.safeGetAuthUser query from components/canvas/canvas.tsx.

Step 2: Remove api.credits.getSubscription dependency from components/canvas/credit-display.tsx and keep the widget on the balance query only.

Step 3: Update toolbar rendering only as needed to match the leaner credit widget.

Task 2: Remove server-side storage URL batching from the canvas hot path

Files:

  • Modify: components/canvas/canvas.tsx
  • Modify: lib/canvas-utils.ts

Step 1: Stop subscribing to api.storage.batchGetUrlsForCanvas from the canvas page.

Step 2: Extend convexNodeDocWithMergedStorageUrl to synthesize a stable fallback URL from storageId when no cached URL exists.

Step 3: Preserve previous merged URLs when available so existing anti-flicker behavior remains intact.

Task 3: Collapse preset reads into one shared query

Files:

  • Create: components/canvas/canvas-presets-context.tsx
  • Modify: components/canvas/canvas.tsx
  • Modify: components/canvas/nodes/curves-node.tsx
  • Modify: components/canvas/nodes/color-adjust-node.tsx
  • Modify: components/canvas/nodes/light-adjust-node.tsx
  • Modify: components/canvas/nodes/detail-adjust-node.tsx

Step 1: Add a shared presets provider that executes one api.presets.list query.

Step 2: Filter presets client-side by node type via a small hook/helper.

Step 3: Replace per-node useAuthQuery(api.presets.list, { nodeType }) calls with the shared presets hook.

Task 4: Verify the refactor

Files:

  • Verify only

Step 1: Run lint on touched files.

Step 2: Run targeted type-check or full type-check if feasible.

Step 3: Reproduce canvas placement flow and confirm Convex hot-path query count is reduced.
