Inner-Loop Optimization Review overview

Evaluates the developer inner loop (code-edit to local-verification cycle) across major repositories — profiling build times, hot-reload latency, local test-suite duration, IDE indexing performance, and container-startup overhead; comparing against baseline targets; identifying the top-five friction points; and proposing tooling or configuration changes to reduce cycle time. Produces an inner-loop health scorecard and optimisation roadmap. Excludes CI pipeline work.
