Bug Fixes

Company Detection

• Double Rendering Fix: Fixed company cards flashing twice during detection
  • Changed from useEffect to useLayoutEffect for synchronous updates before paint
  • Prevents visual flash where companies appear without checkmarks first
  • Companies now render once with correct saved status from the start
• Saved Status Display: Fixed saved URLs reference update timing
  • Updated savedLinkedInUrlsRef synchronously before state updates
  • Ensures green checkmarks appear immediately when companies are rendered
  • Matches profile detection behavior exactly

Storage Operations

• Atomic Operation Race Condition: Fixed Chrome storage race conditions
  • Added retry logic with verification to checkAndSetInStore function
  • Handles cases where Chrome storage writes aren't immediately readable
  • Retries up to 3 times with 10ms delay between attempts
  • Prevents "CRITICAL: Atomic operation failed" errors
  • Applied to both company and profile storage operations

Code Consistency

• Company-Profile Parity: Ensured company handling matches profile handling exactly
  • Unified rendering flow between companies and profiles
  • Consistent state management and deduplication logic
  • Same backend check and render pattern for both types
