Jetpack Compose Strong Skipping Mode optimizes performance by automatically memoizing lambda expressions to prevent unnecessary recompositions. It changes how the Compose compiler handles lambda captures, requiring Kotlin 2.0.20+ and the Compose compiler plugin to function.

To check if Strong Skipping is active, run the Gradle command `./gradlew :app:dependencies --configuration kotlinCompilerPluginClasspathRelease`. Verify that the output lists Kotlin version 2.0.20 or higher, which is required for the feature.

Auditing lambda captures involves analyzing lambda expressions within Composable functions to identify memoization gaps where Strong Skipping does not apply. You must inspect capture sites to ensure lambdas are properly memoized by the Compose compiler.

Annotations like `@DontMemoize` and `@NonSkippableComposable` act as escape hatches to control memoization behavior in Compose Strong Skipping. They allow you to manually override the automatic lambda memoization for specific Composable functions.

Yes, Kotlin 2.0.20 or higher is strictly required to use Compose Strong Skipping Mode. You must also configure the Compose compiler plugin in your project to enable the automatic lambda memoization and skipping features.

You should avoid automatic lambda memoization when specific Composables must always recompose to reflect state changes or when memoization causes unintended side effects. Use the `@DontMemoize` or `@NonSkippableComposable` escape hatches in these scenarios.
