🚀 Quick Start

1. Add State (2 lines)

const thumbnailCache = new Map()
const thumbnailLoading = ref(new Set())

2. Add Functions (4 functions)

async function generateThumbnail(pageNum) { /* ... */ }

async function getThumbnail(pageNum) { /* ... */ }
function clearThumbnailCache() { /* ... */ }

3. Update Template

<img :src="getThumbnail(hit.page)" loading="lazy" />

4. Cleanup

async function resetDocumentState() {
  clearThumbnailCache() // Add this
  // ... rest
}

🧪 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

---

💾 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

---

⚡ 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

---

🐛 Error Handling

Error	Handling
PDF not loaded	Return ''
Page render fails	Log, return ''
Canvas unavailable	Throw, catch, return ''
Duplicate request	Wait for first

📍 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
