/**
 * A hook that caches tree items to avoid expensive querySelectorAll calls on every keypress.
 * The cache is invalidated when the tree structure changes (via MutationObserver).
 *
 * PERFORMANCE: This is critical for INP because querySelectorAll('[role="treeitem"]')
 * on large trees can take 10-50ms, which directly blocks user input response.
 *
 * Note: useRovingTabIndex also uses querySelectorAll for Home/End/PageUp/PageDown navigation,
 * but those are infrequent single keypresses. Typeahead fires on every character typed,
 * making it the priority optimization target.
