Upgrade @tanstack/charts to 0.18.0 and drop the dashed-grid workaround - #870
Conversation
No source change is required: `@maple/ui` and `@maple/web` both typecheck clean and every chart test passes unmodified. 0.17 and 0.18 are additive where the type surface moved at all — selective rect corner radii, radial gradients, `ChartGuideLineStyle` on `grid`/`axis.line`, a themeable `focusRing`, and `colorLegendItems`. `defineChart` gained a branding symbol that tightens its second overload; nothing here trips on it. The bump does not buy performance. Measured n=4 per version across `test:perf:tanstack` and `test:perf:charts`, every arm sits at the floor on both versions (0 dropped frames, 0 long tasks, 0 blocking ms), so React commit counts are the only discrete signal — and 21 of 22 comparable lab arms report identical counts. The exception is `stacked-bar-production` (`QueryBuilderBarChart`), which goes 24 -> 40 commits and 23.0 -> 35.9ms of React work, stable across four runs each: 0.18 threads `primaryPoint` into the tooltip content context so a row can render itself `active`, and under `focus: "group-x"` the group is every series in a column, so the content now changes when the nearest series flips inside a column rather than only when the column does. That cost is worth paying only once `PlotTooltip` reads `primaryPoint` and `nearest-series.ts` is deleted — we currently compute the same thing ourselves. Left for its own change. Chart chunks grow 49.6 -> 53.3 KB gzip (+7.5%), nearly all of it in `plot-frame`. Charts are lazy, so the startup budget is untouched. Full table and method in `apps/web/src/lab/bench/tanstack/FINDINGS.md`.
`dashedGridY()` existed for one reason, stated in its own docstring: `grid` was a `boolean` and `ChartTheme` carried only a grid COLOUR, so the built-in grid was solid and nothing anywhere could dash it. Under canvas — which `PlotFrame` defaults to — a `.ts-chart__grid` CSS rule cannot reach scene nodes either, so the dash had to come from a `createMark` of our own. 0.18 takes a `ChartGuideLineStyle` on `grid`, which makes the mark redundant. `plot-grid.ts` shrinks to the one thing worth keeping in a single place — the `strokeDasharray: "3 3"` the Recharts `CartesianGrid` drew — and 25 call sites across 23 files drop a mark from their `marks` array and gain `grid: DASHED_Y_GRID` on the y scale. The eight charts that build that scale through `timeseriesYAxis` get it from the helper and drop the import. Everything else is left to the theme: the library's own grid group already paints at the stroke, width and 0.11 opacity the mark had copied off it, and `createGrid` puts an omitted field back on the theme default. Verified on canvas rather than assumed — the painted rules alternate 3px on, 3px off, and the guide is no longer a mark competing for paint order. One test moves with it: `createGrid` styles each RULE and leaves the group on the theme defaults, which is the opposite of where the mark put the dash.

It does not buy performance
Measured n=4 per version across
test:perf:tanstackandtest:perf:charts, alternating installs:/lab/chartsarmsstacked-bar-production(React ms)stacked-bar-production(commits)Every arm is at the floor on both versions — 0 dropped frames, 0 long tasks, 0 blocking ms — so
timings cannot resolve a paint-level win even if one exists. React commit counts are the honest
signal: discrete, and exactly reproducible. 21 of the 22 comparable lab arms report byte-identical
counts across the two versions. One does not.
The exception is a shipped chart.

primaryPointinto the tooltip content context so a row can render itselfactive; underfocus: "group-x"the group is every series in a column, so the content now changes when thenearest series flips inside a column rather than only when the column does. The
focus: "nearest"twin holds at 24, which is what isolates it. At this size it is 0.9ms per commitwith no dropped frame — it scales with series count.
We pay for it twice:
PlotTooltiprenders our own rows, so theactivestyling those commits buyis never drawn, and
nearest-series.tscomputes the same answer itself for the emphasised row.Reading
primaryPointinstead would delete that helper and make the commits earn their keep — leftfor its own change, because it touches the focus model.
Charts are lazy, so the startup budget is untouched (689.9 KB gzip, budget 690).
Adopted: the built-in grid can be dashed now
dashedGridY()existed for one reason, stated in its own docstring —gridwas abooleanandChartThemecarried only a grid colour, so nothing anywhere could dash it, and under canvas a.ts-chart__gridCSS rule cannot reach scene nodes. 0.18 takes aChartGuideLineStyleongrid.The mark is gone.
plot-grid.tsshrinks to the one thing worth keeping in a single place — thestrokeDasharray: "3 3"theCartesianGriddrew — and 25 call sites across 23 files drop amark and gain
grid: DASHED_Y_GRIDon the y scale. The eight charts that build that scale throughtimeseriesYAxisget it from the helper and drop the import. Stroke, width and the 0.11 opacityare no longer restated: they were copied off the library's own grid group to begin with, and an
omitted field keeps the theme default.
Verified on the canvas renderer rather than assumed — sampling the scene canvas, the painted rules
alternate 3px on, 3px off. One test moved with it:
createGridstyles each rule and leaves thegroup on theme defaults, which is the opposite of where the mark put the dash.
Investigated and deliberately not adopted: bar corner radii
radiusis a visual channel overRectCornerRadiinow, so the roundingquery-builder-bar-chart.tsxdocuments as unavailable — top two corners, topmost stack segmentonly — is finally expressible. It was built, and at the scene level it works: in jsdom the top
segment serialises with
A2,2arcs at its top corners and the segment beneath it withA0,0.It does not paint on canvas, which is the renderer
PlotFramedefaults to and the oneproduction uses. Sampling the scene canvas on
/lab/charts?arm=stacked-bar-production, the topmostbar row is full width at full alpha with no corner falloff at either an
alpha > 8or analpha > 128threshold.dist/canvas.jsdoes carry acornerRadiibranch, so this reads as anSVG/canvas parity gap rather than a missing feature.
It would not have been free either: a
radiusfunction setspreferCornerRadii, so every barin a stacked chart leaves the
rectelement behind and serialises as apath, rounded or not —and
bar-domain-and-partials.test.tsxreads bar geometry offx/y/width/heightin tenplaces. Not worth a path-bounds helper for 2px that does not render. Reverted; recorded in FINDINGS
with the evidence.
colorLegendItems()was also checked and does not reopen the in-scene legend —ChartLegendPlacementis still
'top' | 'bottom', so production'slegend="right"stays inexpressible.Verification
