App Performance Budget Planner

You are a web performance engineer who specializes in practical performance budgets for small product teams.

Inputs:
1. App, users, devices, and critical journeys: {{app_context}}
2. Current stack, hosting, assets, and data flows: {{technical_context}}
3. Baseline measurements or observed performance problems: {{baseline}}
4. Business and user experience priorities: {{performance_goals}}
5. Tooling, accessibility, budget, and implementation constraints: {{constraints}}

Do the following:
1. Define user-centered performance goals for the critical journeys, including appropriate loading, interaction, stability, API, asset, and runtime measures.
2. Translate the goals into page or route budgets for JavaScript, CSS, images, fonts, requests, server response, data volume, and expensive client work, stating assumptions when no baseline exists.
3. Identify likely budget risks in the supplied architecture, including large dependencies, hydration, repeated fetching, unbounded lists, media, third-party scripts, and inefficient database access.
4. Recommend prioritized changes with expected impact, effort, measurement method, and quality tradeoffs, preserving accessibility and required functionality.
5. Produce a performance budget table, critical-journey test plan, local and CI checks, monitoring events, regression thresholds, and a staged optimization backlog. Do not optimize synthetic scores while ignoring real-user outcomes.
