Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR adds a performance optimization to the BaseState.__getattribute__ method by creating a fast path for ClassVar attributes. Previously, accessing class-level metadata attributes like vars, event_handlers, and computed_vars would go through the entire custom attribute resolution logic, even though these should always be accessed directly as class variables.

Key changes:

• Introduced CLASS_VAR_NAMES frozenset containing 12 ClassVar attribute names
• Modified __getattribute__ to immediately return these attributes via super().__getattribute__(), similar to the existing fast path for dunder methods
• This reduces unnecessary overhead when accessing state metadata, which happens frequently throughout the codebase (as seen in lines 1344, 1352, 1377 where these are accessed with super().__getattribute__)

Confidence Score: 4/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk - it's a well-scoped performance optimization
• The change is straightforward and correct: it creates a fast path for ClassVar attributes that should never go through custom attribute resolution logic. The implementation mirrors the existing pattern for dunder methods. Minor point deducted for lack of explanatory comment and no visible test coverage for the optimization
• No files require special attention
