Fixes #22225

Optimizes oxfmt nested config discovery by replacing the sequential per-directory config file probing with a parallel entry-based pre-scan.

Previously, prescan_config_locations() checked every directory for each supported config filename, causing many fs::metadata calls in larger repos. The new approach walks entries in parallel, only inspects config-looking files, deduplicates their parent directories, and keeps existing nested config loading semantics unchanged.

In an ideal world we could probably do this even more lazy but I wasn't sure how to best change that with the current architecture, this fix is deliberately minimal

this fix is deliberately minimal

Thank you, this helps a lot. 🙏🏻

In an ideal world we could probably do this even more lazy but I wasn't sure how to best change that with the current architecture,

The current constraint is that the config is nestable and contains ignorePatterns.
I have been debating whether to:

  • walk through items that should be ignored and discard them later
  • or to avoid walking through them in the first place

and the current approach is the latter.
