Can you trust the layout inspector recomposition count on a debug build, or should you always be running in release mode?

I don't believe there is a difference in what triggers recomposition in debug and release builds. Release will have additional compiler optimizations and, if enabled, shrinking and obfuscation, but what would trigger a composable to recompose would be the same - at least as far as I understand it

Yes that’s correct. Also recomposition counts are useful to help you figure why something is NOT recomposing as expected as well.
