Optimize a large form with frequent state updates
Tests render propagation and memoization discipline. Strong answers note parent updates re-render children, extract inputs to localize state, useMemo for derived values, and stable callbacks. Red flag: useMemo everywhere without component boundaries.
Tests React reconciliation and render boundaries. A strong candidate explains that top-level form state causes every keystroke to re-render the entire tree, including untouched fields. The fix is architectural: extract individual inputs into separate components to localize state and contain renders. Apply useMemo for expensive derived data, and ensure callbacks passed to children have stable identities. Mention React Compiler automates much manual memoization.
