⚡ Bolt: [performance improvement]

[Lucenx9]

💡 What: Changed the signature of push_tab_to_leaf to return Result<(), SurfaceId> instead of bool. This allows the function to take ownership of new_tab_id and pass it back out on failure instead of eagerly cloning it on every recursive iteration inside the .any() closure.
🎯 Why: Calling .clone() inside a loop for recursive tree searches causes O(N) unnecessary heap allocations, degrading performance.
📊 Impact: Completely eliminates string cloning during push_tab_to_leaf calls.
🔬 Measurement: Verified with cargo test -p forktty-core --no-default-features. Code structure is fundamentally cleaner without clone() operations in the inner loop.

Summary

• Optimizes recursive tab insertion by transferring SurfaceId ownership instead of cloning during tree traversal.
• Updates failure handling to return the unconsumed tab ID via Result.

Testing

• cargo test -p forktty-core --no-default-features

Impact

• Core Rust change only; no user-visible behavior changes.
• No GTK/VTE or socket changes.
• No security or privacy impact.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pane-tree tab insertion helper now returns Result<(), SurfaceId> and moves the identifier through recursive traversal without cloning. WorkspaceModel::add_tab handles the new result, while .jules/bolt.md records the optimization.

Changes

Tab insertion traversal

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Result-based pane traversal crates/forktty-core/src/model/pane_tree.rs	push_tab_to_leaf returns Ok(()) after insertion or Err(new_tab_id) when no matching leaf is found, passing ownership through recursive traversal.
Caller handling and optimization note crates/forktty-core/src/model.rs, .jules/bolt.md	WorkspaceModel::add_tab checks .is_err(), and the optimization note documents avoiding eager SurfaceId cloning.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Remove the one-off Bolt note from the repository root

This task log is not consumed by code or tooling—repo-wide search finds no references—and it re-creates .jules/bolt.md, which the existing CHANGELOG.md explicitly records as a stale note that was removed. Keeping it introduces a bot-specific top-level content category for a single implementation detail; remove it rather than expanding the repository shape against the documented root-layout contract.
