⚡ Bolt: [Fast Bitflag Filtering in Burst Search]

[AhmmedSamier]

💡 What
Introduces queryBitflags calculation in burstSearch and passes it to findBurstMatches, adding a rapid O(1) subset bitwise check ((this.itemBitflags[i] & queryBitflags) !== queryBitflags) to skip items before any string indexing occurs.

🎯 Why
burstSearch was doing redundant string evaluations indexOf() on every candidate item during its fallback searches, despite the codebase already having a well-defined character bitflag heuristic. This acts as a highly optimized character-level Bloom filter.

📊 Impact
Typical partial-match worst case ("no match") speeds improved massively from ~29ms down to ~1.1ms (~96% speedup). Typical partial-match typical case ("S") speeds improved from ~1.8ms down to ~0.6ms (~66% speedup).

🔬 Measurement
Verified via cd language-server && bun run benchmarks/search_burst.bench.ts which demonstrates the reduction in max execution time and latency across 50,000 items.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR optimizes the burst search matching path by introducing bitflag-based item prefiltering. The query bitflags are computed once, threaded into findBurstMatches, and used to skip items before expensive string and scoring operations in the hot loop.

Changes

Burst Search Bitflag Prefiltering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bitflag prefilter integration and optimization language-server/src/core/search-engine.ts, .jules/bolt.md	burstSearch computes queryBitflags from queryLower and passes it to findBurstMatches. The function signature is updated to accept the new parameter. Inside the item processing loop, a bitwise-AND check on itemBitflags & queryBitflags provides an early-exit gate to skip items before string evaluation. The optimization is documented in the changelog.

With bitflags bright, no time to waste,
Skip the slow paths, let filters sing,
One precomputed mask—optimization's wing! 🌿
