Excerpt

Debugging Recompositions — make the invisible visible, then map status to action

Recomposition is invisible by default. A composable that re-runs sixty times a second to redraw an animation looks identical in source to one that should re-run zero times when its parent ticks. Three layers of instrumentation make it visible: Layout Inspector recomposition counts and skip counts (Android Studio, debug build), Layout Inspector Argument Change Reasons (Hedgehog and later, per-parameter Changed / Unchanged / Uncertain / Static / Unknown classifications), and runtime @TraceRecomposition from compose-stability-analyzer for release / R8 / real-device measurement.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
