Julien Calixte acbafa3d6b docs(kaizen): retell the real-repo sync fix as a six-step kaizen
The tradeoff-curves doc stays the chronological data layer; the kaizen
is the story layer — value model, 8-factor hypothesis table, ideas
ranked by verified cause, and an evaluation left PENDING until the
end-to-end on-device :sync lands.

Tradeoff curves

Where a design knob has a cost that bends — energy, latency, memory — against an interval or size, the curve and its knee live here, so the chosen default is traceable to a shape rather than a guess.

Docs index: ../README.md. Project overview: ../../README.md.

Curve What it decides
wifi-auto-sync.md auto_sync interval vs Wi-Fi energy (a 1/T hyperbola) — why the default is 10 min and opportunistic, not a wall-clock timer.
epd-refresh-latency.md E-ink refresh latency vs rows driven — the full / full-area-partial / windowed-Y cost model behind typing responsiveness and the boot splash→editor swap.
sync-commit-staging.md Commit-staging strategy vs working-tree size — RESOLVED: every index-based path is O(N_tree) and fails on the real repo (611 s / OOM); the O(depth) TreeBuilder splice is benched at ~22.8 s and ships. Holds the full measurement trail plus the firmware plumbing plan (merged from the retired handoff note).
