Implementation Plan: UI Performance Metrics and AI Diagnostics

Phase 1: High-Resolution Telemetry Engine [checkpoint: f5c9596]

• Task: Implement core performance collector (FrameTime, CPU usage) 7fe117d
  • Sub-task: Write Tests (validate metric collection accuracy)
  • Sub-task: Implement Feature (create PerformanceMonitor class)
• Task: Integrate collector with Dear PyGui main loop 5c7fd39
  • Sub-task: Write Tests (verify integration doesn't crash loop)
  • Sub-task: Implement Feature (hooks in gui.py or gui_2.py)
• Task: Implement Input Lag estimation logic cdd06d4
  • Sub-task: Write Tests (simulated input vs. response timing)
  • Sub-task: Implement Feature (event-based timing in GUI)
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: High-Resolution Telemetry Engine' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 2: AI Tooling and Alert System [checkpoint: b92f2f3]

• Task: Create get_ui_performance AI tool 9ec5ff3
  • Sub-task: Write Tests (verify tool returns correct JSON schema)
  • Sub-task: Implement Feature (add tool to mcp_client.py)
• Task: Implement performance threshold alert system 3e9d362
  • Sub-task: Write Tests (verify alerts trigger at correct thresholds)
  • Sub-task: Implement Feature (logic to inject messages into ai_client.py context)
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: AI Tooling and Alert System' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 3: Diagnostics UI and Optimization [checkpoint: 7aa9fe6]

• Task: Build the Diagnostics Panel in Dear PyGui 30d838c
  • Sub-task: Write Tests (verify panel components render)
  • Sub-task: Implement Feature (plots, stat readouts in gui.py)
• Task: Identify and fix main thread performance bottlenecks c2f4b16
  • Sub-task: Write Tests (reproducible "heavy" load test)
  • Sub-task: Implement Feature (refactor heavy logic to workers)
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: Diagnostics UI and Optimization' (Protocol in workflow.md)
