Summary of Changes

Hello @12ya, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on optimizing string building within the codebase by replacing instances of fmt.Sprintf with fmt.Fprintf to directly write to buffers. Additionally, it modernizes string manipulation by using strings.Cut instead of strings.Index in one instance. These changes aim to improve performance and code readability.

Highlights

  • Optimization: Replaced fmt.Sprintf with fmt.Fprintf to write directly to the buffer, avoiding unnecessary string copies.
  • Code Modernization: Replaced strings.Index with strings.Cut for improved readability and potential performance benefits.

Code Review

This pull request correctly optimizes string building by replacing sb.WriteString(fmt.Sprintf(...)) with fmt.Fprintf(&sb, ...), which avoids an intermediate string allocation. The changes look good overall. I've found one potential bug where a change from strings.Index to strings.Cut alters the existing logic, which I've flagged as critical. I've also added several suggestions for further micro-optimizations to the string building logic, which you might find useful given the goal of this PR.
