⚡ Bolt: Optimized generateCronContent by hoisting os.Executable() out of the loop.

💡 What: Moved the os.Executable() call, which determines the path of the running binary, outside of the loop that iterates over cron jobs.
🎯 Why: os.Executable() performs a system call (readlink on Linux) that is not cached. calling it for every job in a loop (O(N)) creates unnecessary overhead.
📊 Impact:

  • Speed: ~8x faster (285958 ns/op -> 33609 ns/op)
  • Memory: ~98% fewer allocations (302 -> 5 allocs/op)
  • Syscalls: Reduced from O(N) to O(1) per generation.

🔬 Measurement:
Verified with a benchmark (removed before submission to keep codebase clean).
Baseline:

BenchmarkGenerateCronContent-4   	    3992	    285958 ns/op	   49922 B/op	     302 allocs/op

Optimized:

BenchmarkGenerateCronContent-4   	   36823	     33609 ns/op	   30912 B/op	       5 allocs/op

Reduces syscall overhead significantly when generating large cron files.
Benchmark results:
- Execution time: ~280µs -> ~35µs (~8x speedup)
- Allocations: 302 -> 5 per op (~98% reduction)

Hoisting `os.Executable()` avoids repeated `readlink` syscalls on Linux, which are not cached by the Go runtime.
