Subject: [PATCH] Optimize MiniMap nodeColor lookup for viewport performance
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Performance Issue:
- MiniMap was calling nodeColor() for all nodes on every pan/zoom frame
- Used O(n) array.find() for each node (100 nodes × 10 types = 1,000 iterations per frame)
- At 30 fps: 30,000 array iterations per second during viewport changes

Solution:
- Pre-build Map of nodeType.id -> color for O(1) lookups
- Memoize the nodeColor callback to prevent recreation
- Reduces iterations from 30,000/sec to 3,000 Map lookups/sec (10× faster)

Impact:
- Eliminates lag during pan/zoom operations on large graphs
- MiniMap rendering now negligible performance cost
