 ## 2025-07-17 - Grouped I/O in scripts/init.py
 **Learning:** Performing multiple consecutive file reads/writes on the same files (`pyproject.toml`, `mkdocs.yml`) causes redundant disk I/O overhead.
 **Action:** Group file modifications by file path to perform exactly one read and one write operation per file.

+## 2025-07-18 - Batching Git Config Queries in Project Initialization
+**Learning:** Querying multiple git configuration options sequentially via individual subprocess calls (`subprocess.check_output`) introduces substantial process spawning overhead (averaging ~3-5ms per call). Fetching all needed keys in a single batch call using `git config --get-regexp` reduces overhead by ~3x.
+**Action:** Always batch git configuration queries using `--get-regexp` and cache the results to prevent redundant subprocess spawns during setup.
