From da5cf7d95f85f4cac8b202b23a83507723e0c9f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: vlap Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 20:54:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add --parallel CLI flag for concurrent loop execution MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Enable thread-based parallelism for loop iterations via `se --parallel`. Uses ThreadPoolExecutor to run I/O-bound loop bodies (base.copy, base.move) concurrently. The same YAML scripts work unchanged — parallelism is activated purely by the CLI flag. Also adds a fast-path in Jinja rendering that skips template parsing for strings without template markers, reducing per-iteration overhead.
