From 22ae80eb617e699ba91b950108840a3e72ad9068 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "google-labs-jules[bot]" <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 01:36:11 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] refactor(minhash): optimize shingle hashing by replacing hexdigest with int.from_bytes This commit replaces the `hexdigest()` and `int(..., 16)` operations in the MinHash shingling loop with `int.from_bytes(..., "big")` applied to the raw MD5 digest. This provides a ~3x performance boost by avoiding hexadecimal string allocation and parsing on every iteration, while maintaining exact 1:1 mathematical equivalence to the previous big-endian evaluation.
