💡 What: Replaced try/except Path.relative_to() with Path.is_relative_to() bounds checking in scripts/kb/write_utils.py.
🎯 Why: is_relative_to natively implements string comparison under the hood and is much faster than catching ValueError from relative_to() for bounds checking.
📊 Impact: Reduces overhead during path validation.
🔬 Measurement: Path validation functions will execute faster on large loops.

P2 Badge Avoid performing the containment check twice

For the normal successful in-root path, is_relative_to(root) already performs the path-ancestry work, after which relative_to(root) repeats it immediately. On the supported Python implementations this makes this hot path slower rather than faster—the full helper is measurably slower for valid paths—so retain the single relative_to() call with ValueError handling or otherwise derive the relative path only once.
