 ## 2025-02-12 - [Fast Path Execution in Directory Traversal and Log Parsing]
 **Learning:** Checking for string existence (`if "silence_" not in stderr`) before invoking regex matchers provides significant speed improvements when parsing large blocks of text. Similarly, moving expensive I/O operations like `os.path.realpath` inside conditional blocks prevents redundant disk access when configuration (like path exclusions) isn't utilized.
 **Action:** When working on large text processing or disk operations, verify if early exit conditions or conditional execution can bypass the expensive system or library calls.

+## 2025-02-12 - [Optimize inverted index intersection loops]
+**Learning:** Initializing the intersection base with `set(postings)` adds an unnecessary shallow copy for the first item and increases the critical path overhead by 2-3x for single-term queries. Python's `set.intersection` and `&` operators generate new sets, making it safe to use the bare reference as the intersection seed as long as it isn't mutated directly.
+**Action:** When implementing intersection logic inside hot loops over inverted indices, seed the accumulator directly with a reference (`candidates = postings`) rather than creating a shallow copy (`candidates = set(postings)`). Ensure inline comments explain why this avoids mutation bugs.

 ### Fixed
 - 단일·일괄 대상 크기 입력을 비웠을 때 이전 custom validity와 `aria-invalid` 상태를 즉시 초기화해 현재 필수 입력 상태를 정확히 전달합니다.
 - 업로드 파일명의 경로 구분자를 정규화하여 POSIX에서도 Windows 형식의 클라이언트 경로가 일관된 basename으로 기록되도록 수정했습니다.

+### Performance (최적화)
+- `transcript_search.py`에서 불필요한 set 객체 생성 및 복사를 제거하여 검색 속도를 최적화했습니다.
