 - Address any compiler warnings
 - Run `mix dialyzer` and fix all errors/warnings
+- **MANDATORY**: Run `mix compile --warnings-as-errors` and ensure it passes before considering any task complete
 - Use function composition over nested conditionals
 - Write descriptive test names that explain behavior
 
+## Web Testing
+
+- **MANDATORY**: When viewing any website or web application, always use Puppeteer to take screenshots and interact with the page
+- Use `mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_navigate`, `mcp__puppeteer__puppeteer_screenshot`, and other Puppeteer tools
+- This ensures accurate visual feedback and proper testing of the user interface
+
 ## Deployment
 
 The application supports Kubernetes deployment with manifests in `k8s/` directory and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline. Database migrations run automatically via init containers.

+# Virtual Marker Scrolling for Large Datasets
+
+## Overview
+
+When dealing with thousands of APRS markers on the map, rendering all markers at once can cause performance issues. Virtual scrolling for map markers is a technique where only visible markers within the viewport (plus a buffer zone) are rendered.
+
+## Current Implementation
+
+The current implementation already has some optimizations:
+1. Viewport-based filtering in `get_recent_packets_optimized/3`
+2. Marker state tracking to prevent unnecessary updates
+3. Batch processing of historical packets
+
+## Proposed Virtual Scrolling Enhancement
+
+### 1. Marker Clustering at Low Zoom Levels
+```typescript
+// Use Leaflet.markercluster for automatic clustering
+// Already included in the project but not fully utilized
+if (self.map.getZoom() < 10) {
+  // Use marker clustering
+  self.clusterLayer = L.markerClusterGroup({
+    maxClusterRadius: 80,
+    spiderfyOnMaxZoom: true,
+    showCoverageOnHover: false,
+    zoomToBoundsOnClick: true
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Quadtree-based Spatial Indexing
+```elixir
+defmodule AprsmeWeb.MapLive.QuadTree do
+  @moduledoc """
+  Quadtree implementation for efficient spatial queries
+  """
+  
+  defstruct [:bounds, :markers, :children, :max_markers]
+  
+  def insert(tree, marker) do
+    # Insert marker into appropriate quadrant
+  end
+  
+  def query(tree, bounds) do
+    # Return only markers within bounds
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### 3. Progressive Rendering with RequestIdleCallback
+```typescript
+function renderMarkersProgressively(markers: MarkerData[]) {
+  let index = 0;
+  const batchSize = 50;
+  
+  function renderBatch() {
+    const batch = markers.slice(index, index + batchSize);
+    batch.forEach(marker => self.addMarker(marker));
+    index += batchSize;
+    
+    if (index < markers.length) {
+      requestIdleCallback(renderBatch);
+    }
+  }
+  
+  requestIdleCallback(renderBatch);
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Server-side Aggregation
+```elixir
+def aggregate_markers_for_zoom(zoom_level, bounds) do
+  case zoom_level do
+    z when z < 8 ->
+      # Return aggregated grid cells with counts
+      Packets.get_grid_aggregates(bounds, grid_size: 50)
+    
+    z when z < 12 ->
+      # Return simplified markers (no popups)
+      Packets.get_simplified_markers(bounds)
+    
+    _ ->
+      # Return full markers
+      Packets.get_recent_packets_optimized(bounds)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### 5. Viewport Buffer Strategy
+```typescript
+// Render markers in expanded viewport to reduce re-renders during panning
+const bounds = self.map.getBounds();
+const bufferedBounds = bounds.pad(0.5); // 50% buffer
+```
+
+## Implementation Priority
+
+1. **Phase 1**: Implement marker clustering (easiest, biggest impact)
+2. **Phase 2**: Add server-side aggregation for low zoom levels
+3. **Phase 3**: Implement progressive rendering
+4. **Phase 4**: Add quadtree spatial indexing if still needed
+
+## Performance Metrics to Track
+
+- Time to first marker render
+- Frame rate during pan/zoom
+- Memory usage with 10k+ markers
+- Server query time by zoom level
+
+## Notes
+
+- The current implementation already handles viewport filtering well
+- Virtual scrolling is most beneficial when dealing with 5000+ markers
+- Consider implementing only if performance issues are reported by users
