## $(date +%Y-%m-%d) - Path Containment Performance
**Learning:** `os.path.commonpath` is a significant bottleneck for frequent path containment checks due to internal list allocations and path splitting.
**Action:** Use `os.path.abspath` and `str.startswith()` instead, ensuring a trailing `os.sep` is conditionally appended to the absolute directory before comparison to securely handle root directory edge cases and prevent path traversal bugs.
