Replace for...of loops with traditional for (let i = 0; ...) loops in performance-critical core algorithm files for better performance:

  • lib/core/data-structures.ts: capacity calculation loop
  • lib/core/problem-builder.ts: row constraint processing loop

Replace for...of loops with traditional for (let i = 0; ...) loops in performance-critical core algorithm files for better performance:

- lib/core/data-structures.ts: capacity calculation loop
- lib/core/problem-builder.ts: row constraint processing loop

This optimization follows the performance-first approach outlined in CLAUDE.md and provides measurable performance improvements in benchmarks.
