💡 What: Extracted octList and hexList locally instantiated array variables inside oct2bin/hex2bin helper functions into private static let class properties. Additionally, reverted an unreadable manual branchless bitwise math hack in generateL2C back to standard conditional ternaries.
🎯 Why: Instantiating multidimensional arrays inside frequently called generator loops causes massive, repeated heap allocations and garbage collection thrashing in Swift. Furthermore, manual bitwise hacks for branch prediction are unnecessary since modern Swift compilers (LLVM) natively compile simple ternary operators into branchless CMOV/CSEL CPU instructions, delivering the same performance with vastly better readability.
📊 Impact: Reduces memory allocation overhead (heap pressure) to almost zero in the oct2bin/hex2bin paths. Improves code maintainability without performance loss in PRN sequence generation loops.
🔬 Measurement: Verify via memory profiling during GNSS code generation (heap allocations will be noticeably reduced for L1CO initialization). Verify LFSR output correctness through CI test suite runs.

…zation

* Extract `octList` and `hexList` in `GNSSCodes.swift` to `private static let` properties to eliminate repeated heap allocations.
* Revert manual branchless bitwise logic in `GPS.swift` to standard conditional ternaries, allowing LLVM CMOV/CSEL compiler optimizations to handle branching performantly without sacrificing code readability.
* Document learnings in `.jules/bolt.md`.
