v9.4.2 — Round 2 speed/token optimization

on GitHub

92% fewer subshell forks (combined with v9.4.1)

Two rounds of runtime optimization cut orchestrate.sh from ~900 subshell forks per workflow to ~70.

Round 2 (this release)

• 26 echo|grep → bash builtins (nocasematch, [[ =~ ]], word boundary)
• 22 $(cat) → $(<) with safety guards
• $(date +%s) caching in 5 hot functions
• 124 separator literals → 5 box-drawing variables
• Dead code removal: archive_usage_session() + cost-archive

Review-driven fixes

3-agent review fleet (correctness, security, architecture) caught and fixed:

• Missing file guard on generate_factory_scenarios()
• Newline regression in keyword matching
• Redundant nocasematch blocks merged
• Subshell safety for _classify_smoke_error
• Timing accuracy for start_time_ms metrics

Test results

• 92/92 test suites pass
• 203/203 individual tests pass
• 82/82 pre-push checks pass
