Always test with large datasets during development1762. Use console logs to verify sampling behavior1773. Check visual fidelity after sampling1784. Monitor performance in browser dev tools179 180### **For Users**1811. Look for the "Sampled" indicator for context1822. Use fullscreen mode for detailed inspection1833. Hover interactions remain fully functional1844.
