 ## 2026-06-14 - Deferring Pathlib Operations in Hot Paths
 **Learning:** In highly repetitive loops like file scanners (e.g., iterating through thousands of safe files), preemptively calculating `Path.relative_to()` and sanitizing strings adds significant cumulative overhead. Pathlib operations internally parse paths, check parts, and construct new objects, which is extremely expensive when executed on a per-file basis unconditionally.
 **Action:** Always defer expensive path computations (like converting paths to relative or string sanitization) until *after* the fast-path condition (like a regex match) triggers. This drastically cuts down on unnecessary string operations for clean files.
-## 2025-03-09 - O(N^2) JSON parsing due to string slicing
-**Learning:** Extracting JSON objects from a large string by iterating with `for index, char in enumerate(text)` and doing `decoder.raw_decode(text[index:])` results in O(N^2) complexity because of string slicing operations and overlapping extraction attempts on failure.
-**Action:** Use a `while` loop combined with `text.find('{', index)` to find the next object, and `decoder.raw_decode(text, index)` to decode it directly without slicing. Then, advance `index` to the returned `end` position.
 
-## 2024-05-18 - Set literal vs Tuple membership check
-
-**Learning:** In Python, using set literals for constant membership checks (e.g., `in {'CRITICAL', 'HIGH'}`) inside loops or comprehensions is highly efficient because CPython optimizes them into `frozenset` constants at compile time, eliminating runtime instantiation overhead. Using `tuple` for these checks performs an `O(n)` linear search, while a `frozenset` performs an `O(1)` hash lookup.
-
-**Action:** Prefer set literals `in {"A", "B"}` over tuples `in ("A", "B")` when performing membership checks against constant items, especially in hot paths or tight loops.
-
-## 2024-06-16 - Parallelize Subprocess CLI Calls
-**Learning:** Sequential, synchronous execution of `subprocess.run` (like calling the GitHub CLI) across multiple items (like PRs) is a significant I/O bottleneck.
-**Action:** Use `concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor` with `functools.partial` and `executor.map` to safely parallelize I/O-bound subprocess executions, significantly reducing overall script runtime.
-
-## 2024-05-16 - Module-level Constants for Performance
-**Learning:** Recreating static dictionaries (like severity mappings and icons) inside frequently called functions causes unnecessary memory allocations and slight performance overhead on every call.
-**Action:** Extract static dictionaries to module-level constants to ensure they are instantiated only once when the module is loaded.
+## 2024-05-30 - Optimize regex scanning using re.finditer
+**Learning:** For file scanning, reading the file entirely (if within size limits) and using `re.finditer` over the full content uses native C implementations for searching, and calculates matches dramatically faster (over 2x) than reading and looping line-by-line via Python's interpreter.
+**Action:** Always favor `re.finditer` or full-string string matching where large text files are involved, provided strict memory and file size limits are verified and enforced.
