## Summary - Limit row-highlight expansion during editor rendering to ranges that intersect the visible viewport. - Use the stable multibuffer anchor ordering established by #62636 to binary-prune every highlight group, including ranges with diff-base anchors. - Preserve exact-boundary highlights for custom blocks and add regression coverage comparing viewport results with the full-editor result. This is stacked on #63394 so the benchmark fixture and batched conflict anchor conversion are available independently. ## Performance The severe synthetic workload contains 128 conflicted files, 256 conflict regions per file, and 163,840 accumulated row-highlight ranges. In the initial paired measurement, viewport filtering reduced: - project-diff refresh from 67.6–87.8 seconds to 13.47–13.53 seconds; - cumulative row-highlight expansion from 53–74 seconds to about 7.7 milliseconds; - the longest individual expansion from 817–875 milliseconds to 0.063–0.071 milliseconds; - examined highlight ranges from 10.7–15.6 million to about 2,500. After isolating this commit from the separate block-insertion experiment and hardening the anchor-boundary behavior, two severe-workload runs completed in 17.75 and 20.51 seconds. Those isolated runs are not a direct A/B comparison with the initial numbers because they intentionally omit the block-insertion fast path. ## Validation - `cargo test -p editor test_highlighted_display_rows_in_range` - `./script/clippy -p editor` - `git diff --check` - Two independent code reviews focused on viewport boundaries and anchor ordering Release Notes: - Improved project diff performance for repositories with many merge conflicts.
