💡 What: Optimized the _decode_yenc_lines function in verify_nzb.py to use bytes.translate() and bytes.find() instead of a manual while loop that iterates over each byte. Added .jules/bolt.md to document the finding.
🎯 Why: Manual byte-by-byte iteration in pure Python is extremely slow and acts as a major bottleneck when decoding large amounts of NNTP body data.
📊 Impact: Reduces decoding time by approximately 15x (from ~2.27s down to ~0.14s for 1000 lines decoding 100 times in an isolated benchmark).
🔬 Measurement: You can verify the correctness of the decoding algorithm by running the test suite (python3 -m unittest -v), which includes tests for validate_yenc_body.

- Replace manual pure Python byte iteration in `_decode_yenc_lines` with C-backed `bytes.translate()` and `bytes.find()`
- Pre-compute translation tables for math operations
- Significant boost to NNTP body parsing speed
- Added learning to `.jules/bolt.md`

Walkthrough

The PR optimizes yEnc decoding in verify_nzb.py by replacing per-byte iteration with precomputed lookup tables and bulk translation. Module-level tables map normal and escaped yEnc bytes to their decoded values, while _decode_yenc_lines() now uses bytes.translate() for segments and find() for escape handling, preserving the existing error contract.

Changes

yEnc Decoding Optimization

Layer / File(s) Summary
yEnc lookup tables and optimized decode function
verify_nzb.py
Introduces _YENC_NORMAL and _YENC_ESCAPED lookup tables at module level. Rewrites _decode_yenc_lines() to use bytes.translate() for bulk decoding on escape-free segments and find()-based indexing for escaped = pairs, eliminating the previous byte-by-byte loop while preserving dangling-escape validation.

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~12 minutes

🐰 A swift translation hops in,
Lookup tables skip each byte,
Decoded lines leap faster—
yEnc escapes met with cheer,
Performance springs up here!
