💡 What
Replaced a nested forEach loop and .find() operation used to construct the GradebookMatrix with an $O(1)$ lookup dictionary built in a single sequential pass. I also ensured that the first matching submission is always correctly retained, preserving the existing behavior where the most recent submission (due to descending chronological sort) is selected.

🎯 Why
Previously, createGradebookMatrix in ClassroomGrading.tsx and SeedRoomGrading.tsx iterated through all students, and then all assessmentNodes. Inside that nested loop, it ran submissions.find(...) which is an $O(S)$ operation. This led to an overall time complexity of $O(S \times N \times S)$ or $O(S^2 \times N)$. As the number of students and submissions scales, this creates a severe performance bottleneck during grading dashboard rendering, potentially causing UI unresponsiveness and rendering blocking.

📊 Impact
Reduces the algorithmic complexity of matrix initialization from $O(S^2 \times N)$ to $O(S \times N)$, vastly improving performance and reducing render blocking in large classrooms with multiple assessments. Render and processing times are drastically reduced.

🔬 Measurement
Verify the change locally by entering a Classroom or Seed room with a significant number of enrolled students and assignments (hundreds or thousands). The grading dashboard should construct the assignment matrix instantly instead of hanging the main thread. Test suite pnpm test confirms all components render correctly without failure.

Pull request overview

This PR optimizes grading dashboard initialization by replacing per-cell linear searches over the submissions list with a single-pass population step, reducing the cost of constructing the gradebook matrix for large cohorts. This fits into the platform’s grading UI (Classroom + Seed room) where large student/submission counts can otherwise cause noticeable render blocking.

Changes:

  • Reworked createGradebookMatrix in both grading UIs to populate cells via a single pass over submissions (preserving “most recent submission wins” via descending sort order).
  • Initialized matrices with consistent object shape (student -> assessment -> undefined) before population.
  • Misc. formatting/structural readability updates (imports, JSX formatting).

  • Sorting nodes by earliest submission date currently filters transformedSubmissions inside the sort comparator, which results in many repeated full scans (and new Date(...) parsing) during sorting. This is O(nodes × submissions × log(nodes)) and can become a major bottleneck at scale. Consider precomputing earliest-submission timestamps per assessment_id in a single pass and sorting using that lookup.
      // Sort assessment nodes by earliest submission date
      const sortedNodes = [...nodes].sort((a, b) => {
        // Find earliest submission for each assessment
        const aSubmissions = transformedSubmissions.filter(
          (s) => s.assessment_id === a.id,
        );
        const bSubmissions = transformedSubmissions.filter(
          (s) => s.assessment_id === b.id,
        );

        // Get earliest submission time for each
        const aEarliest =
          aSubmissions.length > 0
            ? Math.min(
                ...aSubmissions.map((s) => new Date(s.submitted_at).getTime()),
              )
            : Infinity;
        const bEarliest =
          bSubmissions.length > 0
            ? Math.min(
                ...bSubmissions.map((s) => new Date(s.submitted_at).getTime()),
              )
            : Infinity;

        // Sort by earliest submission time (ascending)
        return aEarliest - bEarliest;
      });
