132+Corpus scale drives the complexity of the publication system.
Performance is no longer treated as raw build time alone. For a research-grade publication surface, the meaningful questions are whether the generation pipeline is stable, the reading path is efficient, the figures are reliable, and the shell remains maintainable.
Performance Signals
This chapter frames performance across four dimensions: generation, navigation, figure reliability, and maintainability.

3Curation, orchestration, and publication define the generation pipeline.
The generation pipeline has three stages:
rules/categoryDistribution, coverageBuckets, qualitySignals, and timelineSignalsThe main benefit is alignment: the site shell stays grounded in repository facts instead of drifting into static copy.
Maintainability is one of the core performance metrics in this redesign.
That matters more in the long run than shaving a few seconds from a one-off build.
Figure performance here means:
Senior readers want to know whether the generation pipeline is trustworthy, whether the shell will remain maintainable, and whether the figures and navigation scale as the corpus grows. Those are whitepaper questions, not implementation trivia.
