Maximum items a row can have before horizontal buffer logic kicks in. Rows at or below this count use renderTracking only — all items stay loaded when on screen because they fit comfortably in texture memory.

Activates texture management after initial content load or on onScreenShown. Transitions state from "init" or "hidden" to "active", enabling buffer-based texture management. Callers should update loadedRowRange before calling this.

Extracts horizontal item spacing from the RowList rowItemSpacing field.

Calculates the usable row width for determining how many items fit on screen.

Destroys texture management during component teardown. All cells force-unload unconditionally — no guards, no buffer checks.

Hides texture management when the screen is no longer visible. Freezes all cells in their current state — textures stay loaded so returning is instant. renderTracking changes are ignored while hidden.

Adds texture management fields to a RowList content root node. Sets initial state to "init" — cells will not unload during layout changes.

Decides whether a cell scrolling back into range should re-issue its image load.

THREE paths leave a cell's poster at "" with the real URL still cached, and they do not all want the same thing:

• unloadTexture() — the manager evicted a resident texture to free memory.
• deferTextureLoad() — the cell bound while off screen, so no request was ever issued.
• showPlaceholder() — the image FAILED, and the URI was cleared to reveal the type glyph underneath. The first two want the load; the third does not, because re-requesting a known-broken image wipes the glyph off a cell that is sitting still and then fails again. Deciding on currentUri <> cachedUri cannot separate them — all three look identical from there. isTextureUnloaded can: the first two set it, showPlaceholder does not.

Worth knowing before "fixing" the missing retry: a failed image does NOT retry while its cell stays in range, only at the next unload or rebind. That is deliberate, and the measurement behind it is recorded as failed-poster-no-scroll-retry in docs/decisions.md.

Calculates and sets the loaded row range for a MarkupGrid based on current focus. Unlike updateTextureBufferRange() which works with hierarchical RowList content (children = rows), this works with flat MarkupGrid content (children = items) and derives row indices from the flat item index and column count.

Calculates and sets the loaded row range and focused column based on current focus. The vertical range includes all visible rows plus a 2-row buffer above and below.
