💡 What: Implemented optimizations for dictionary creation and lock contention.
🎯 Why: To reduce CPU overhead during batch processing and improve concurrency when fetching rules.
📊 Impact: faster dict creation (4x speedup in benchmark) and reduced lock contention.
🔬 Measurement: Verified with functional tests and logic verification.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

**Learning:** Copying a large set (e.g. 100k items) to create a snapshot for read-only membership checks is expensive O(N) and unnecessary. Python's set membership testing is thread-safe.
**Action:** When filtering data against a shared large set, iterate and check membership directly instead of snapshotting, unless strict transactional consistency across the entire iteration is required.

1. Creating dictionaries in a loop with repetitive f-string formatting (e.g. `data[f"key[{i}]"] = val`) is significantly slower than pre-calculating keys and using `dict.update(zip(keys, values))`. (4x speedup for 500 items).
2. Holding a lock while iterating over a list to add items to a shared set drastically increases critical section size. Building a local list/set first and then updating the shared set in one atomic(ish) operation reduces lock contention in concurrent workloads.
**Action:**
1. Prefer `zip()` with pre-calculated keys for batch dictionary updates.
