## Investigation Brief
Fluid compute is a project-level lever. Use it when the setting is off and metrics show cold-start or warm-instance reuse pressure. Fluid can handle multiple invocations in one function instance; avoid per-request state in module scope.
## Evidence To Check
Check project facts, `startTypeSplit`, cold-vs-warm latency, and routes carrying the cold-start share. When enabling Fluid, audit module-state hazards Fluid surfaces (not creates): module-scoped mutable state, lazy singletons holding per-user data, globals keyed on per-request inputs.
## Do Not Recommend When
Do not recommend enabling fluid compute when project facts say it is already on. Do not frame as a file-level code fix.
## Verification
State project setting, cold-start rate or fallback slow-route signal, affected route concentration. If enabling, call out module-state audit as follow-up.
