⚡ Bolt: Optimize yEnc decoding using bytes.translate

[xbmc4lyfe]

Optimized yEnc decoding in verify_nzb.py by replacing a manual byte-by-byte iteration with C-backed built-ins (bytes.translate and bytes.find). This yields a >2x performance improvement.

A journal entry documenting the performance insight of using C-backed string methods was also added.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Performance

  • Improved yEnc decoding efficiency for faster processing of encoded content.
  • Preserved support for escaped bytes and existing decoding behavior.

• Maintenance

  • Improved formatting and readability across verification and parsing code.
  • Added documentation capturing guidance for efficient byte-processing techniques.

Walkthrough

The PR replaces byte-by-byte yEnc decoding with bytes.translate and bytes.find. It preserves dangling-escape errors. It also wraps existing expressions and declarations without changing behavior or public interfaces.

Changes

yEnc decoder and verifier formatting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
yEnc decoding implementation verify_nzb.py, .jules/bolt.md	The decoder processes unescaped spans with bytes.translate and handles escaped bytes directly. The learning note records the optimization.
Verifier and CLI formatting verify_nzb.py	Existing verifier, deep-check, connection, and CLI expressions are reformatted without behavior or interface changes.

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

Poem

A rabbit hops through yEnc bytes,
With translate doing speedy flights.
Finds escapes, keeps errors clear,
While wrapped lines bend without fear.
“Neat code!” the bunny cheers.

118-143: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add regression tests for escaped yEnc bytes.

The supplied downstream test uses hello world, so it does not exercise an escape pair. Add cases for a middle-of-line escape, an escaped payload byte equal to =, and a trailing = that must raise ValueError. These cases verify the new escape indexing and arithmetic.
