Evolutionary UI

" summary

Applies evolutionary architecture principles to UI by making fitness functions the control mechanism: concrete examples include running Google Lighthouse for accessibility and a performance budget (NPM tools mentioned), enforcing a lint rule on GitHub to disallow shallow rendering, and measuring cycle time with a 30‑minute threshold. Advocates micro-frontends for independent deploys, recommends subcutaneous (quantum‑level) tests instead of brittle shallow unit tests, and discusses tradeoffs when constraints collide (bundle size vs heterogeneous frameworks).
