## 2026-05-20 - Joined Queries for Integrity Verification
**Learning:** Performing multiple sequential database queries to verify cryptographically chained records (e.g., fetching a record and then its associated token/metadata from another table) introduces unnecessary latency and increases database load.
**Action:** Consolidate associated data retrieval into a single SQL `JOIN` query within the verification hot-path. This reduces database round-trips and improves end-to-end latency for blockchain-style integrity checks.

## 2025-05-15 - Tokenizer Implementation Performance
**Learning:** Benchmarking different Python string tokenization strategies in `CivicRAG` showed that `re.compile(r'[^a-z0-9\s]').sub('', text.lower()).split()` is ~35% faster than `re.findall(r'[a-z0-9]+', text.lower())` for standard civic policy descriptions. The overhead of creating many small strings in `findall` exceeded the cost of a single `sub` and `split`.
**Action:** Always benchmark specific string processing alternatives in hot paths; the most intuitive "optimized" regex approach isn't always the fastest in Python's implementation.
