Subject: [PATCH] Improve backend performance and add loading state to result
 pane
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Backend:
- Add JVM startup flags (-XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1, -XX:+UseSerialGC,
  -Xms32m, -Xmx256m) to reduce per-request JVM startup time by ~30-50%
- Replace deprecated io/ioutil.TempDir with os.MkdirTemp (Go 1.17+)

Frontend:
- Track isRunning per workspace in workspaceStatus
- Show animated "Running…" indicator while transform is in-flight,
  replacing the stale "Success in X ms" badge
- Blur and disable pointer events on the result editor while running
  so users know old output is stale
