+## 2024-05-24 - Single Pass String Iteration for Token Estimation
+**Learning:** `utf8.RuneCountInString(msg)` performs a full iteration over the string. If the string needs to be iterated over again (e.g., `for _, r := range msg`) to check specific rune properties, this results in two full passes over the string.
+**Action:** Always count the total number of runes manually within the existing `for range` loop when a subsequent full iteration of the string is already required. This essentially halves the execution time.
