🚀 v0.4.2 — Smart Blacklist & Performance Optimization

This release introduces a major performance enhancement to the backup collection process, with smarter blacklist handling and real-time pruning.
It focuses on efficiency, intelligent filtering, and faster traversal of directory trees during backup discovery.

🧩 Core Libraries

/lib/backup_collect.sh

Fixes

• 🧹 Eliminated the full scan of excluded directories that previously caused major slowdowns.

Added

• ⚙️ Directly prune blacklisted directories during the find traversal while preserving wildcard and single-file checks.
• 🧠 Automatically classify blacklist entries into directories, single files, or wildcard patterns.

✅ Overall Improvements

• ⚡ Significantly faster backup collection on systems with large exclusion lists.
• 🧭 More intelligent blacklist parsing and traversal logic.
• 💾 Reduced I/O overhead and improved runtime efficiency.

✨ Result: Backup scans are now much faster, cleaner, and more predictable — especially in environments with extensive blacklists.
