- 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 Design
Goal
Reduce Convex query fanout and hot-path load on the canvas page so node placement and canvas interaction no longer collapse when the local Convex runtime is under pressure.
Findings
nodes:createitself is fast when the runtime is healthy.- The canvas page issues multiple concurrent reactive queries:
nodes:list,edges:list,canvases:get,credits:getBalance,credits:getSubscription,storage:batchGetUrlsForCanvas, and severalpresets:listvariants. - During failure windows, many unrelated queries time out together, which points to runtime saturation rather than a single broken query.
Chosen Approach
Use a broad load-shedding refactor on the canvas hot path:
- Remove debug-only and non-essential queries from the core canvas render path.
- Eliminate the server-side batch storage URL query by deriving stable fallback URLs client-side from
storageId. - Collapse multiple adjustment preset queries into one shared presets query and distribute the data through React context.
- Drop the subscription-tier query from the canvas toolbar and keep the toolbar credit widget on the cheaper balance path only.
Expected Impact
- Fewer unique Convex subscriptions on the canvas page.
- Less full-canvas invalidation work after every node or edge mutation.
- Lower pressure on
auth:safeGetAuthUserbecause fewer canvas-adjacent queries depend on it. - Better resilience when Convex dev runtime is temporarily slow.
Risks
- Client-side fallback storage URLs must continue to work with the current Convex deployment setup.
- The toolbar will no longer show the subscription tier on the canvas page.
- Shared preset context must preserve current node behavior and save/remove flows.
