  The promise of Jetpack Compose's   Strong Skipping Mode   (enabled by default in Kotlin 2.0.20+) is seductive: it relaxes the strict stability requirements that previously forced developers to annotate classes with   @Stable   or use   ImmutableList   wrappers. With Strong Skipping, the compiler can skip recompositions for unstable parameters as long as their instance references haven't changed. However, many teams enable this mode and are surprised to find their  LazyColumn  performance remains degraded. The Layout Inspector still reports unskippable recompositions during scroll or state updates. The issue isn't the compiler; it is  referential integrity . Strong Skipping changes the skip logic from "Is the type Stable?" to "Is the value the same object instance ( === )?". If your composition logic implicitly allocates new objects—specifically collections or lambdas—Strong Skipping will fail, and your list will re-render frame-by-fram...
