Diagnoses and fixes mobile jank, dropped frames, slow startup, and growing memory by capturing a trace or heap snapshot on a real device, isolating the single worst cost, fixing it, and re-measuring against the 16ms frame and cold-start budgets. Use when someone says "the app stutters when I scroll", "startup takes forever", "memory keeps climbing after navigating around", or the UI feels laggy on a real device. Do NOT use when the bottleneck is a website or web app (LCP, bundle size, slow endpoint or query) - use web-performance instead; for Compose recomposition fixes pair with jetpack-compose-builder; for Flutter widget architecture use flutter-widget-architect.

# Mobile Perf Profiler

Diagnose mobile performance from measured evidence, fix the largest cost, and re-measure - never guess. The costly failure is folklore optimization: weeks spent caching and micro-tuning paths the profiler would show are cheap, while the one 40ms bind on the scroll path ships untouched.

## Operating procedure

### Step 1: Gather inputs

1. The exact symptom, named precisely: jank while scrolling a specific list, jank on first frame of a screen, slow cold start, or memory that climbs. "The app feels slow" is not a symptom yet - reproduce until it is one.
2. A representative device: a real mid-tier phone from the install base, not the developer's flagship and never a simulator/emulator.
3. A release or profile build. Debug builds misreport timing by integer factors.
4. The display refresh rate of target devices - 60Hz means a 16.6ms frame budget, 120Hz means 8.3ms.
5. Field data access: Play Console Android vitals, Xcode Organizer / MetricKit. If available, this decides which symptom is worth the trace before any local work.

### Step 2: Work the evidence ladder, cheapest first
