T3 Code
Built on Electron, T3 Code stores Chromium web cache objects, V8 compiled script data in the Code Cache, GPUCache entries, Dawn Graphite and WebGPU shader caches, and Shared Dictionary compression cache files to speed up loading its editor UI and web-powered features. Those caches can become stale after T3 Code, Chromium, or graphics driver updates, leading to rendering glitches, slow startups, or broken asset reuse. Kudu removes only these disposable cache files so T3 Code can rebuild them cleanly, while preserving workspaces, sessions, settings, accounts, and saved code.
Why clean T3 Code?
- Invalidated V8 compiled code after a T3 Code or Electron update can make the app feel unusually slow on first open, with delayed window painting and sluggish extension or panel startup until the cache is rebuilt
- Corrupted Chromium Cache_Data entries can leave parts of the interface stuck on old assets, causing missing icons, blank panes, or pages inside the app that never finish loading correctly
- GPUCache data tied to an older graphics driver can stop matching the current driver state, which shows up as flickering text, black rectangles, or choppy scrolling after a GPU update
- Stale Dawn Graphite or WebGPU shader blobs can trigger canvas rendering glitches in accelerated views, including blank previews, broken effects, or stutter the first time GPU-backed features initialize
- A bloated Shared Dictionary cache can waste disk space and make compressed web content reuse less reliable, leading to repeated re-download behavior and slower loading of T3 Code resources
- When multiple generations of Electron web cache and shader files accumulate, T3 Code may consume hundreds of megabytes of storage and still rebuild much of it anyway after major updates
- Damaged cache files can cause startup loops where the window opens but stays white or partially rendered, and clearing the disposable caches often forces a clean asset and shader rebuild
