First-use shader compilation can ambush you with a hitch right when the player expects smooth action. In VR or commercial gameplay moments, one stutter can become instant trust loss.
You get a practical prewarm path, including controlled tests where spawning content triggers shader work, then a build-first profiling workflow to inspect what really happened in the timeline. The lessons show how to track those spikes around instantiation and shader usage instead of hoping editor behavior reflects runtime.
Concrete next step: run a build, trigger repeated spawn scenarios, profile the timeline, and compare before/after prewarm behavior until the hitch is gone.
CEO/Producer translation: this prevents launch-day smoothness regressions that directly translate into lower ratings and costly hotfix pressure.
