⚡ Bolt: [performance improvement] Optimize yEnc decoding

💡 What: Replaced byte-by-byte python loop with C-backed bytes.find() and bytes.translate().
🎯 Why: yEnc decoding was heavily CPU bound due to manual byte iteration.
📊 Impact: ~15x faster decoding for article bodies.
🔬 Measurement: Micro-benchmarking shows time drops from 2.22s to 0.14s for 10k lines.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Improved yEnc decoding speed through more efficient bulk byte processing.
    • Reduced processing overhead when handling encoded content, especially for larger files.
  • Reliability

    • Preserved existing decoded output and validation behavior, including handling of incomplete escape sequences.
  • Maintenance

    • Improved code consistency and readability without changing observable application behavior.

Changes

yEnc Decoder Optimization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bulk yEnc decoding
verify_nzb.py, .jules/bolt.md
The decoder uses translation tables and bulk byte operations. It preserves decoded output and dangling-escape validation. The performance note records the measured improvement.
Verifier execution formatting
verify_nzb.py
Validation, connection handling, worker processing, retry selection, and status handling are reformatted without behavior changes.
Deep-check and CLI formatting
verify_nzb.py
Deep-check gathering, result writing, finalization, verifier invocation, and CLI argument definitions are reformatted without behavior changes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Poem

A rabbit hops through bytes with care,
Bulk translations whisk through air.
Escapes still guard the decoder’s gate,
While tidy lines keep paths in state.
“Fifteen times faster!” squeaks the hare.

Add regression coverage for the optimized yEnc path.

The provided downstream test only exercises yenc_body(b"hello world"). It does not cover escaped bytes or the dangling-escape branch. Add cases for multiple escapes, escapes at different positions, and a trailing =. Assert the decoded bytes and error == "dangling yEnc escape".
