💡 What: Hoist first-character case-conversion out of the search hot loop for_each_char_match_start.
🎯 Why: In search loops, performing the expensive .to_ascii_lowercase()/.to_ascii_uppercase() for every single character is a performance bottleneck.
📊 Impact: Speeds up the fast-path by eliminating redundant ASCII conversions for every character, providing a measurable performance improvement for full-scrollback text searches.
🔬 Measurement: Run cargo test -p forktty-ui-gtk --no-default-features bench_search_on_huge_scrollback -- --exact with FORKTTY_BENCH_SCROLLBACK=100000 to measure the scrollback search speed.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 6630550538860219572 started by @Lucenx9

Extracts first-character ASCII conversions out of the search hot loop
to prevent redundant iterations when checking common prefixes. Reduces
baseline iteration overhead during full-scrollback searches.

P1 Badge Remove the one-off top-level .jules directory

This creates a new root content category solely for a three-line note about one terminal-search implementation detail. Repository guidance limits new top-level directories to durable categories and directs feature-specific material to remain near its owner, so this generated note should be removed or moved beside the terminal-search code if it provides lasting value.

P1 Badge Document the user-visible search speedup

For users searching large scrollback buffers, this fast path intentionally changes observable search latency, but CHANGELOG.md still has an empty Unreleased section. Add a Changed entry so the optimization is included in release notes as required for user-visible changes.
