💡 What: Rewrote VendorFromMAC to iterate over bytes into a fixed-size [8]byte array rather than allocating intermediate strings using strings.Split, strings.ToUpper, strings.ReplaceAll, and strings.Join.
🎯 Why: String manipulation inside O(n) fingerprinting routines causes GC bottlenecks.
📊 Impact: Reduced operations from ~476ns/op to ~40ns/op (over 10x faster) and eliminated all heap allocations (from 3 allocs down to 0).
🔬 Measurement: Verify with go test -bench=BenchmarkVendorFromMAC -benchmem ./pkg/fingerprint.

Code Review

This pull request optimizes the VendorFromMAC function in pkg/fingerprint/oui.go to achieve zero-allocation MAC prefix extraction. It replaces string manipulation functions with a manual byte-iteration loop that populates a fixed-size [8]byte array, leveraging Go compiler optimizations for map lookups. Additionally, a benchmark test has been added in pkg/fingerprint/oui_bench_test.go and the optimization learning has been documented in .jules/bolt.md. There are no review comments, and I have no feedback to provide.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
For more details on the timeline and next steps, please review the Help Documentation.
