This commit replaces occurrences of `os.listdir` with `os.scandir` in `lexis.py` to eliminate redundant system calls when filtering directories by file type or checking file attributes. Co-authored-by: Jandir <3695656+Jandir@users.noreply.github.com>

💡 What: Replaced occurrences of
os.listdir()and subsequentos.path.isdir()/os.path.isfile()checks withos.scandir()loops inlexis.py.🎯 Why:
os.listdir()returns a full list of string names, requiring the program to make a separatestat()system call for each item to check if it's a file or directory.os.scandir()returns an iterator ofos.DirEntryobjects, which caches the file type and attributes natively from the OS during the initial directory traversal, saving significant I/O overhead on large directories (e.g. archive folders).📊 Impact: Noticeably speeds up the parsing and filtering of large channel directories (especially those containing hundreds or thousands of transcription or
.mdfiles in archives) by avoiding redundant underlyingstatsystem calls.🔬 Measurement: Verified by running
pytest tests/ --ignore=tests/test_escriba.pyand checking local profiling benchmarks betweenlistdir+isdirvsscandir, which showedscandiris generally around 5-20% faster depending on the file count on the disk.PR created automatically by Jules for task 15459434781741795591 started by @Jandir
