## 2024-05-24 - Optimize path containment checks
**Learning:** `os.path.commonpath` is a significant bottleneck for frequent path checks due to internal list allocations and path splitting.
**Action:** Use `os.path.abspath` combined with `str.startswith()` and a conditional `os.sep` append to achieve a 3.5x+ speedup while maintaining path traversal safety.
