Code Review
This pull request introduces performance optimizations by pre-allocating static lookup maps at the package scope in facts.go and optimizing signature verification in pack.go to use a single-pass extraction. Additionally, benchmarks have been added to track these performance improvements. Feedback suggests replacing the package-level map with a switch-based helper function to guarantee immutability and prevent potential race conditions while maintaining zero allocations.

Code Review
This pull request introduces performance optimizations to reduce heap allocations and redundant parsing. Specifically, it replaces a local map literal in osFamily with a zero-allocation switch statement, optimizes signature line parsing in ParseAndVerify to avoid duplicate passes, and adds benchmarks to verify these improvements. Feedback suggests updating the documentation in .jules/bolt.md to accurately reflect the use of switch statements as a highly optimized alternative to package-scope maps.

Code Review
This pull request introduces performance optimizations in the discovery package, including replacing static map literals with switch statements in osFamily to achieve zero heap allocations, and refactoring pack signature verification to extract the signed body and count signature lines in a single pass. Additionally, benchmarks are added to measure these changes. The reviewer notes that while splitSignatureLine reduces duplicate parsing, it still presents a performance bottleneck due to string conversions and regex operations, and suggests using a proper parser or anchoring the regex match to avoid false positives on indented lines.

osFamily()is called on every host probe during discovery sweeps. Defining the map literal inside the function body forced Go to allocate an 18-element hash map on the heap (~1.2 KB and 3 allocations) every single time.ParseAndVerify()previously calledcountSignatureLines(raw)andSignedBytes(raw)separately, causingsplitSignatureLineto parse and normalize lines twice per pack verification.📊 Impact
