Scroll, resize, and input events fire hundreds of times per second and can bring the main thread to a crawl if every call triggers an expensive function unchecked. Debouncing and throttling tame this flood deliberately, with clear timer mechanics, rAF-based patterns for visual updates, and ready-made Alpine.js modifiers for Hyva themes.

Windows High Contrast Mode replaces almost every color a stylesheet defines with a small, user chosen system palette, and forced-color-adjust: none is the one CSS property that can exempt individual elements from that replacement. Used sparingly, on status badges, icons and charts where color itself carries meaning, it protects genuinely necessary information without undermining the accessibility feature the mode exists for.
