November 2024 (2024-11) – Layer-Fi/layer-react: Focused, performance-oriented delivery for BankTransactions date-range handling with a clean state-management refactor. Refactored default date range initialization by introducing a state variable defaultDateRange with a useState lazy initializer, ensuring the computation occurs once on mount and reduces render-time overhead. This aligns with product goals of faster initial load and more predictable state behavior in the BankTransactions view.
