💡 What: Moved point dictionary creation (with its strftime formatting and rounding) inside the el >= min_elevation condition in get_passes. Added a learning to .jules/bolt.md.
🎯 Why: The orbital pass predictor runs an 8640-iteration loop for a 24-hour window at 10s steps for each satellite. Formatting timestamps and creating dictionaries for points that are below the horizon (which is the vast majority) caused high CPU usage.
📊 Impact: Reduces processing time for orbital pass prediction by ~8-10x per satellite by deferring string formatting until a visible pass is detected.
🔬 Measurement: Running a simulated loop showed execution dropping from ~0.70s to ~0.08s for a single satellite. Can be verified by using /api/orbital/passes with heavy categories like GPS or Weather.

* Moved `point` dict creation and its expensive operations (`strftime`, `round`) inside the `el >= min_elevation` check in the pass prediction loop.
* Reduces CPU time significantly by skipping hidden points.
