Description
The LintMonster daily scan (2026-07-27) identified 41 findings of repeated string concatenation using += inside loops:
pkg/workflow: 18 occurrencespkg/cli: 23 occurrences
This pattern creates unnecessary memory allocations on each iteration. Migrating to strings.Builder improves performance and follows Go best practices.
Suggested Changes
- Replace
var s string; for ... { s += chunk } patterns with var sb strings.Builder; for ... { sb.WriteString(chunk) }; return sb.String()
- Validate each fix with
make golint-custom
- Keep changes scoped to the string-concatenation pattern only
Files Affected
- Multiple files in
pkg/workflow/ (18 occurrences)
- Multiple files in
pkg/cli/ (23 occurrences)
Run make golint-custom to get the exact list of affected files and line numbers.
Success Criteria
- Zero
string concatenation with += inside a loop diagnostics in make golint-custom output
- All existing tests pass
- No functional changes to output
