Replaced recursive `yield from` calls with explicit stack traversal across `walk_node`, `_walk_own_non_stmt_children`, `_walk_own`, and `_iter_l2_body_nodes`. This avoids deep recursion limits and the performance overhead associated with python generator chaining during hot-path AST parsing. Retained depth-first traversal left-to-right order by correctly pushing the reversed child list elements into the LIFO stack.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request. When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down. I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job! For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with New to Jules? Learn more at jules.google/docs.

💡 What:
Replaced recursive
yield fromcalls with explicit stack-based traversals in heavily-used AST walking functions (_walk_own,_walk_own_non_stmt_children,walk_node, and_iter_l2_body_nodes). Inlinedast.iter_child_nodesbehavior directly across_fieldschecks to cut out standard library overhead where applicable, and properly documented the optimizations.🎯 Why:
Using deep recursive
yield fromin Python incurs generator chaining overhead which is costly for hot paths processing potentially deep Abstract Syntax Trees. Stacks avoid bothRecursionErroron highly nested statements and unnecessary execution slowdowns.📊 Impact:
Benchmark measures showed roughly ~20% runtime reduction for
own_nodes(e.g. from 7.33s to 5.93s over 100,000 runs in a test benchmark) and avoids recursion exhaustion, while retaining exactly the same lazy-yielding guarantees and correct DFS node evaluation order.🔬 Measurement:
Tested and validated against the entire project's test suite ensuring that logic remains intact and nodes are emitted in identical left-to-right DFS order as
make testcorrectly verifies. Runmake test,make typecheck, andmake lintconfirming exact correctness without regressions.PR created automatically by Jules for task 9510852170311381834 started by @tachyon-beep
