The reason your React component is re-rendering is likely because you're creating a new object reference on each render cycle. When you pass an inline object as a prop, React's shallow comparison sees it as a different object every time, which triggers a re-render. I'd recommend using useMemo to memoize the object.	New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in useMemo.
Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is most likely caused by your authentication middleware not properly validating the token expiry. Let me take a look and suggest a fix.	Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use < not <=. Fix:

Same fix. Third of the words. Nothing technical lost.

Install

One command. Finds every agent on your machine. Installs for each.

# macOS · Linux · WSL · Git Bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman/main/install.sh | bash

# Windows · PowerShell 5.1+
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman/main/install.ps1 | iex

~30 seconds. Needs Node ≥18. Skips agents you no have. Safe to re-run.

[!TIP] Turn it on: type /caveman or say "talk like caveman". Turn it off: say "normal mode". On Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini it's already on from message one. No command needed.

Install for one agent, or any of 30+ others

Every agent has its own path (plugin, extension, rule file, or npx skills add). The full per-agent matrix, all flags, dry-run, and uninstall live in **[INSTA
