What: Replaced byte-by-byte iteration with C-backed bytes.find() and bytes.translate().
Why: yEnc decoding is a major bottleneck when verifying article bodies; manual byte iteration is very slow in Python.
Impact: ~15x faster decoding in benchmarks.
Measurement: Python timeit testing shows decoding time for typical articles drops from 0.033s to 0.0018s.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved yEnc decoding reliability, including handling for dangling escape sequences.
  • Refactor

    • Streamlined internal decoding and formatting without changing user-facing behavior.

Walkthrough

verify_nzb.py optimizes yEnc decoding with bytes.find() and bytes.translate(). It also reformats existing configuration, networking, worker, deep-check, verifier, and CLI code without changing behavior.

Changes

NZB verification updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Chunked yEnc decoding
verify_nzb.py
The decoder uses chunked byte searching and translation. Dangling-escape validation remains unchanged.
Verifier and worker formatting
verify_nzb.py
Configuration validation, connection handling, worker scheduling, server matching, and status finalization are reformatted without behavior changes.
Deep checks and CLI formatting
verify_nzb.py
Deep-check execution, result writing, verifier invocation, and retry option declarations are reformatted without behavior changes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to d75be

The PR substantially speeds up yEnc decoding. Focused tests for escaped and malformed inputs should be added as follow-up, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

A rabbit hops through bytes with care,
Finds escapes hiding everywhere.
Translate chunks, then check the end,
While tidy lines their shape amend.
“No behavior changed,” says the hare.

118-141: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add regression tests for the optimized escape path.

The supplied test covers only an ordinary unescaped body. Add cases for all four escaped encoded values, multiple escapes in one line, and a line ending with =. Assert the exact decoded bytes, size, and CRC. Assert ValueError("dangling yEnc escape") for the malformed line. yEnc requires the escape byte and its following byte to remain on the same line.
