## 2024-05-23 - Shell Script Sourcing for Tests
**Learning:** Shell scripts in `lib/` often run as standalone executables but must be sourceable for unit testing. Without a guard `if [[ "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" == "${0}" ]];`, sourcing the script triggers its main execution logic (e.g., argument parsing), causing tests to fail immediately with exit codes or usage messages.
**Action:** Always wrap the main execution logic of shell scripts in a guard block to ensure they can be safely sourced by test runners like BATS.
## 2026-01-25 - [Loop Process Spawning]
**Learning:** In `list_work` loop, spawning `basename`, `sed` (twice), and `grep` for each item caused linear performance degradation (O(N * 4 processes)). For 50 items, this took ~5 seconds.
**Action:** Replace string manipulation tools (`sed`, `basename`) with Bash parameter expansion (`${var##*/}`, `${var#pattern}`) and file reading (`read`) with built-ins to eliminate process fork overhead. Resulted in 22x speedup.
