What happened?

Since AppContainer holds almost all top-level state, any update (e.g., debug messages, settings nonces, or expansion toggles) triggers a full re-render of this massive component and its large subtree.

What did you expect to happen?

State should be localized to specific components or context providers should be split to prevent unnecessary re-renders of unrelated parts of the UI.
