## ๐ Quick Start
### 1. Add State (2 lines)
```javascript
const thumbnailCache = new Map()
const thumbnailLoading = ref(new Set())
```
### 2. Add Functions (4 functions)
```javascript
async function generateThumbnail(pageNum) { /* ... */ }
function isThumbnailLoading(pageNum) { /* ... */ }
async function getThumbnail(pageNum) { /* ... */ }
function clearThumbnailCache() { /* ... */ }
```
### 3. Update Template
```vue
```
### 4. Cleanup
```javascript
async function resetDocumentState() {
clearThumbnailCache() // Add this
// ... rest
}
```

## ๐งช Testing
### Test Scenarios
- [ ] First search generates thumbnails
- [ ] Loading spinners show
- [ ] Repeat search uses cache
- [ ] Different pages generate as needed
- [ ] Document switch clears cache
- [ ] Errors don't crash app
### Performance Checks
- [ ] Generation < 150ms
- [ ] Cache retrieval < 1ms
- [ ] Memory < 2MB for 200 pages
- [ ] No UI blocking
---
## ๐พ Cache Behavior
| Scenario | Cache Status | Action |
|----------|--------------|--------|
| First request | Empty | Generate |
| Repeat request | Has entry | Return immediately |
| Different page | Partial | Generate new only |
| Document change | Cleared | Generate all fresh |
| Error during gen | Not cached | Return empty string |
---
## โก Performance Tips
1. **Lazy Loading**: Only generate when visible
2. **Caching**: Never regenerate same page
3. **Small Scale**: 0.2 keeps size down
4. **Quality Balance**: 0.8 is sweet spot
5. **Cleanup**: Clear cache on doc change
---
## ๐ Error Handling
| Error | Handling |
|-------|----------|
| PDF not loaded | Return '' |
| Page render fails | Log, return '' |
| Canvas unavailable | Throw, catch, return '' |
| Duplicate request | Wait for first |
---
## ๐ File Location
**Target**: `/home/setup/navidocs/client/src/views/DocumentView.vue`
**Insertion Points**:
- State: After line ~380 (after `searchStats`)
- Functions: After `makeTocEntriesClickable()` (~line 837)
- Cleanup: In `resetDocumentState()` function
- Template: Replace/enhance Jump List
