💡 What: Refactored DuplicateFinder to perform "lazy hashing." Instead of immediately reading the file from disk and computing a SHA-256 hash for every file encountered, it first groups files by their file size.
🎯 Why: In the vast majority of cases, a file with a unique size cannot be a duplicate. Hashing every file is extremely expensive in terms of disk I/O and CPU time.
📊 Impact: Completely eliminates the cost of reading/hashing files that have unique sizes. It reduces file I/O operations by 100% for non-duplicate files, offering massive performance gains during bulk processing of large video files.
🔬 Measurement: Run the duplicate finder on a directory of heterogeneous files. Monitor disk I/O (e.g., using iotop or Activity Monitor disk reads); the read operations will significantly decrease since unique files are skipped entirely.

P1 Badge Avoid re-scanning every same-size file on each lookup

This loop executes on every is_duplicate call for an existing size bucket, even when all prior files are already hashed, so a run with many same-size files performs 1+2+...+N bucket scans (quadratic path/set checks) before finishing. In large media batches where file sizes frequently match, this can turn duplicate detection into a major hotspot and regress runtime versus the previous linear behavior; the bucket should be finalized once (or tracked incrementally) instead of re-iterated for every new file.
