The Paintable tree and its supplemental painting data structures were
GC allocated because that was the easiest way to manage it and avoid
leaks introduced by ref cycles. This included the Paintable subclasses
themselves plus StackingContext, ChromeWidget, Scrollbar, ResizeHandle,
and scroll-frame state.
We are now trying to reduce GC allocation churn on layout and painting
updates, so keeping this short-lived rendering tree outside the JS heap
is a better fit. Move Paintable to RefCountedTreeNode, make painting
helpers ref-counted or weakly reference Paintables, and update the
layout and event-handler call sites to use RefPtr/WeakPtr ownership.
Replace per-frame heap-allocated RefCounted ScrollFrame objects with a
single contiguous Vector<ScrollFrame> inside ScrollState. All frames for
a viewport are now stored in one allocation, using type-safe
ScrollFrameIndex instead of RefPtr pointers.
This reduces allocation churn, improves cache locality, and moves
parent-chain traversal (cumulative offset, nearest scrolling ancestor)
into ScrollState — similar to how visual context nodes were recently
consolidated into AccumulatedVisualContextTree.
Precompute the geometric data needed for sticky positioning during
scroll frame assignment. This avoids walking the paintable tree to query
containing blocks and ancestor geometry during scroll state refresh,
which runs on every scroll event.
