Subject: [PATCH] Optimize getActionChildrenPeekData

The optimized code achieves a **21% runtime improvement** (256μs → 212μs) through three targeted optimizations that reduce overhead in the hot iteration path:

**Key Performance Improvements:**

1. **Iterator Optimization**: Replaced `Object.keys(definitions).forEach()` with a cached-length `for` loop (`for (let i = 0, len = keys.length; i < len; i++)`). This eliminates the forEach callback closure allocation on every iteration, which the line profiler confirms was expensive (17.4% of time spent on the forEach line in the original).

2. **Function Object Reuse**: Created a single `EMPTY_FN` constant instead of allocating a new empty function object each time "run" or "clear" is encountered. In TypeScript/JavaScript, function expressions create new objects, so this prevents redundant allocations when processing multiple actions or definitions with these keys.

3. **Early Exit + Switch Statement**: Changed from nested if-else chains to an early `continue` for keys containing "!" followed by a `switch` statement for the special cases. The line profiler shows the original compound conditional check (`if (key === "data" || key === "isLoading" || key === "responseMeta")`) consumed 78.2% of execution time. The switch statement provides better branch prediction and reduces the number of equality comparisons needed per iteration.

**Test Performance Patterns:**
- **Small/medium definitions** (~10 keys): 8-52% faster in individual tests (e.g., "should handle action with isLoading as false" shows 52.8% improvement)
- **Large definitions** (500 keys): 16.6% faster, with the optimization showing its value when iterating over many keys
- **Edge cases with minimal work**: Similar performance to baseline (as expected when the hot path isn't exercised)

The optimization is particularly effective for actions with typical definition sizes (5-20 keys), which appear to be the common case based on the test patterns. The changes maintain identical behavior while reducing per-key iteration overhead through better memory efficiency and branch prediction.
