Subject: [PATCH] Optimize ContrastValidator using a Lookup Table (LUT)

Replaces the expensive dynamically computed relative luminance calculation with an O(1) array lookup. By utilizing a 256-element pre-computed table for sRGB component linearization, it avoids high-overhead floating-point math like Double.pow(2.4) in KMP hot paths. Tests demonstrate a reduction from ~1600ms to ~30ms across 10 million iterations.
