💡 What: Replaced all instances of push_str(&format!(...)) with let _ = write!(...); in stdlib/src/canvas.rs to write directly to the target String buffer. Added comments explaining the optimization. Appended learning to .jules/bolt.md.
🎯 Why: push_str(&format!(...)) creates a temporary String allocation for every concatenation, which is especially wasteful inside loops (like rendering multiple rings or paths). Writing directly to the buffer avoids these intermediate allocations.
📊 Impact: Reduces memory allocations during SVG canvas generation and DSL block rendering.
🔬 Measurement: Code compiles successfully, and all standard library tests (cargo test --workspace) pass without regressions, ensuring identical SVG output string generation but with fewer internal allocations.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 5041535596994256397 started by @Tcode-Motion

This commit optimizes string concatenation in the `canvas.rs` module by using `std::fmt::Write` and the `write!` macro instead of `push_str(&format!(...))`. This eliminates temporary `String` allocations inside rendering loops, reducing memory overhead and improving performance for complex canvas operations. Explanatory comments were added, and the learning was appended to the Bolt journal.
