 ## 2024-05-18 - Avoid unnecessary array allocations in frequent I/O paths
 **Learning:** `upsertSession` in `src/runtime/sessionStore.ts` is called very frequently (every time a session record is appended, which happens constantly during agent streaming). The original implementation used `.filter()` to remove the existing session and then pushed the updated one, resulting in significant garbage collection overhead and an O(N) array allocation on every single token/event stream chunk. Since this function is the bottleneck for chat interactivity, replacing `.filter()` with `.findIndex()` and in-place assignment yielded a > 2x speedup on session updates.
 **Action:** When updating arrays that back frequent disk I/O operations (like the session store), always prefer in-place mutation and sorting over immutable array recreation (`.filter()`, `.map()`) to minimize garbage collection pauses.
+## 2024-11-20 - Array operations in discover.ts hot path
+**Learning:** `buildCandidate` and `rsi14` in `src/tools/discover.ts` are called up to ~1500 times per ticker discovery run. The use of `.map()` to create intermediate `closes` and `vols` arrays, combined with `.slice()` and `.reduce()`, led to significant garbage collection overhead and execution time (800ms+). By replacing these with in-place loop accumulations (`Math.max(0, len - N)` for bounds) and directly accessing the source `bars` array, the execution time was reduced to ~300ms.
+**Action:** In hot loops, especially those processing large market data arrays across multiple tickers, avoid chaining `.map()`, `.slice()`, and `.reduce()`. Use manual `for` loops with calculated bounds to eliminate intermediate array allocations.
