From b37d4878ed1dcd18d7b41289bdae421e8e17a48d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robby Russell Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2026 08:03:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf(init): don't fork scutil when $HOST is already the Bonjour name On macOS `scutil --get LocalHostName` was run on every startup to get a stable short hostname for the zcompdump filename. When $HOST is the Bonjour name (`.local`), which is the common case, the LocalHostName is just $HOST without the suffix, so use that directly and keep the scutil lookup for hosts that got a different name from DHCP. Measured on macOS arm64, zsh 5.9: 6 ms -> 0.2 ms per interactive start.
