💡 What: Made findNodeModules and directorySize methods nonisolated on the NodeModulesScanner actor.
🎯 Why: Previously, since these synchronous, I/O-bound methods were actor-isolated, they would block the actor's single executor. This meant that despite being dispatched inside a withTaskGroup, the task group execution was entirely serialized.
📊 Impact: ~4x-8x faster node_modules scanning on multi-core Macs, as the concurrent tasks can now be distributed across the cooperative thread pool.
🔬 Measurement: Use Instruments or Time Profiler during a full node_modules scan. Notice all CPU cores engaging instead of being artificially capped to a single thread executing the actor's queue.

Closing as superseded by merged #216 (NodeModulesScanner static/nonisolated refactor) + #206 (CacheScanner.scanCategory/directorySize marked nonisolated). The TaskGroup serialization bottleneck for both scanners is now resolved with the surgical nonisolated approach instead of converting actors to structs (CacheCleaner stays an actor since it isn't run in a TaskGroup).

Understood. Acknowledging that this work is now obsolete and stopping work on this task.
