Simply creating a "Mermaid format text to SVG renderer" from scratch with no dependencies brings perf gains. That wasn't clear to me as I was expecting a more specific technical strategy to have been communicated in the md files, but couldn't find any. Left me wondering if such a guideline was hidden away in the prompts given to Claude.
