-## 2026-03-20 - [Fast String Traversal Over Regex/Split]
+## 2024-05-27 - [Fast Multi-line String Parsing]
+
+**Learning:** In high-performance string processing (like parsing multi-line command outputs such as Git status), replacing `.split('\n')` and `.trim()` with a single-pass manual loop using `.indexOf('\n')` and `.charCodeAt()` boundaries significantly reduces array and string allocations. This avoids the overhead of creating many intermediate string segments and arrays, making parsing over 3x faster for large inputs.
+**Action:** When iterating over lines in a large string output, use a manual `while` loop with `indexOf('\n', lastIndex)` to find line boundaries, and use `charCodeAt` to manually skip whitespace, slicing only the final required substring.

+## 2024-05-26 - [Fast Array Pre-allocation]
 
 **Learning:** In high-performance string processing (e.g., parsing multi-line command outputs like Git status), replacing `.split('\n')` and `.trim()` with manual single-pass loops using `.indexOf('\n')` and `.charCodeAt()` boundaries, and substituting `path.normalize(path.join())` with direct string concatenation, significantly reduces intermediate allocations and execution time (~2x speedup observed).
 **Action:** When repeatedly splitting large output blocks, use manual `indexOf` string index traversal and primitive character boundary checks rather than regex or `Array.prototype.split`.

 **Learning:** In hot paths (like `RouteMatcher.getOrCompileCache`), replacing `Array.prototype.map()` with a pre-allocated array (`new Array(length)`) and a manual `for` loop is significantly faster. Avoiding `.map()` eliminates the callback overhead and memory allocations for the new array elements, resulting in ~15-20% faster boolean array creation. Also, avoid using `Array.from({ length })` for array pre-allocation, as it introduces substantial overhead and acts as an anti-optimization compared to `.map()`.
 
-**Action:** When creating fixed-size arrays from existing arrays in performance-critical sections, prefer using `new Array(length)` with a manual `for` loop over `.map()`. Remember to bypass the SonarJS rule with `// eslint-disable-next-line sonarjs/array-constructor`. Use pre-allocated arrays with a manual loop for array mappings in critical hot paths, remembering to explicitly disable the `sonarjs/array-constructor` lint rule when doing so.
+## 2024-05-26 - [Fast Array Allocation vs Map]
+
+**Learning:** In hot paths or caching loops (like compiling route segments in `RouteMatcher.precompute`), replacing `Array.prototype.map()` with a pre-allocated array (`new Array(length)`) and a manual `for` loop avoids function call overhead per element and iterator creation. This significantly reduces allocations and speeds up execution, particularly for repetitive operations.
+**Action:** When transforming arrays in performance-sensitive areas, prefer pre-allocating the target array and using a manual `for` loop instead of `.map()`.
+
+## 2024-05-26 - [Fast String Formatting without Arrays]
+
+**Learning:** In string formatting paths (e.g., converting a dot-separated command ID like `workbench.action.files.save` to `Files Save`), replacing `str.split('.').map(...)` and regex replacements (`.replace(/([A-Z])/g, ' $1')`) with a single-pass manual string traversal using `charCodeAt` and slicing significantly reduces intermediate array and string allocations. Even replacing a pre-compiled, cached global regex with a manual loop yielded a ~35% performance improvement in V8/Node.
+**Action:** When applying multiple transformations to structured strings (like ID normalization) in hot paths, prefer a single manual loop with `charCodeAt` and `slice` over chained operations like `split().map().join()` and regex replacements.
