perf: memoize Excalidraw API callback to prevent full canvas re-renders

This optimization prevents the `EditorCanvas` (and thereby the heavy `@excalidraw/excalidraw` component) from re-rendering due to prop instability of the inline `onExcalidrawAPI` function in `PrivateApp` when parent state changes. This mitigates severe UI input lag.

A new entry was also added to `.jules/bolt.md` documenting this insight.

-**Learning:** The `@excalidraw/excalidraw` package's `Excalidraw` component is exceptionally expensive to re-render. Even though `EditorCanvas` was wrapped in `React.memo`, passing an inline arrow function to `onExcalidrawAPI` in the parent `App` broke memoization, causing severe input lag when typing in completely independent UI elements like the codeblock editor sidebar due to the entire canvas re-rendering.
+**Learning:** Due to the exceptionally high rendering cost of the `@excalidraw/excalidraw` canvas, always ensure all callbacks passed to it (e.g., `onExcalidrawAPI`) are strictly memoized using `useCallback`. Passing inline functions as props breaks prop stability for `React.memo` and causes severe UI input lag caused by full canvas re-renders when parent states change.
-**Action:** When passing callbacks to heavy third-party components like Excalidraw, always wrap them in `useCallback` hook to preserve their prop stability and maintain `React.memo` benefits, preventing disastrous performance regressions on typing/input.
+**Action:** When working with `<Excalidraw>` or its wrapper components like `<EditorCanvas>`, always extract inline callback functions (like `onExcalidrawAPI={(api) => { ... }}`) into `useCallback` hooks before passing them down.
