P3: The comment claims this is "a single O(N) loop" but the nested for keyword in dummy_keywords check inside the outer loop makes this O(N×M), same as the original. Update the comment to reflect that this reduces repeated Python generator setup, not algorithmic complexity.

The new nested-loop implementation still performs len(dummy_keywords) substring checks per context (i.e., O(NK) in the number of contexts and keywords). The inline comment claiming this is a single O(N) loop / reduces from O(NM) to O(N) is misleading (the previous sum(...) approach was also O(N*K) in terms of substring checks). Consider updating the comment (and PR description) to reflect that this mostly reduces repeated passes over failure_contexts/generator setup, or use a single compiled regex/Aho–Corasick-style scan if the goal is to reduce per-context rescans.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Misleading complexity claim in the comment and PR description.

The comment on line 129 claims this reduces complexity to "a single O(N) loop," and the PR description states it "reduces iteration complexity to O(N)." However, the algorithmic complexity remains O(N×M) where N = len(failure_contexts) and M = len(dummy_keywords).

Old code:

for keyword in dummy_keywords:  # M iterations
    matches = sum(1 for c in failure_contexts if keyword in c)  # N iterations each

Complexity: O(M × N)

New code:

for c in failure_contexts:  # N iterations
    for keyword in dummy_keywords:  # M iterations each
        if keyword in c:
            keyword_counts[keyword] += 1

Complexity: O(N × M)

Both are O(N×M). The optimization reduces Python iteration overhead (avoiding M separate generator expressions) but does not change the algorithmic complexity. The comment should be corrected to reflect this accurately.

Positive note: The refactoring does preserve semantic correctness—both implementations count the number of distinct contexts containing each keyword.

📝 Suggested comment correction 
-# ⚡ Bolt: Consolidated multiple iterations over failure_contexts into a single O(N) loop to reduce Python iteration overhead.
+# ⚡ Bolt: Consolidated M separate generator expressions into a single nested loop to reduce Python iteration overhead (complexity remains O(N×M)).

In `@data/pipeline/feedback_loops.py` around lines 129 - 136, The comment
incorrectly claims the loop reduces complexity to "a single O(N) loop"; in
reality the nested loops over failure_contexts and dummy_keywords still yield
O(N×M) complexity. Update the comment near the keyword counting block
(references: failure_contexts, dummy_keywords, keyword_counts) to state that the
refactor reduces Python iteration overhead and avoids repeated generator
expressions but retains O(N×M) algorithmic complexity, and remove the misleading
"single O(N) loop" / "O(N)" phrasing.
