💡 What:
Replaced O(N*M) nested loop matching between exercises and solutions with an O(N) pre-computed dictionary lookup in both MaterialExtractor.get_all_exercises and RAGIndexer.index_materials.

🎯 Why:
When processing materials that contain numerous exercises and solutions, using a nested loop (for exercise... for solution...) leads to O(N*M) time complexity. By pre-computing a lookup dictionary solutions_dict, we significantly reduce this to O(N) time complexity, eliminating a potential bottleneck when scaling to larger datasets or course structures.

📊 Impact:
Eliminates an O(N^2) bottleneck, scaling linearly instead of quadratically for files containing many exercises. Performance gains will be highly measurable on massive markdown files.

🔬 Measurement:
Run full material extraction or indexing on a large dataset (e.g., >1000 exercises) and observe reduced CPU utilization and lower execution time. You can verify the behavior is identical since the dictionary strictly mimics the "first match" logic of the previous loop's break condition. Tests ensure everything functions correctly.

- Replaced O(N*M) nested loop matching exercises to solutions with an O(N) pre-computed dictionary lookup in `evolutia/material_extractor.py` and `evolutia/rag/rag_indexer.py`.
- Fixed unused variable warnings caught by ruff.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to improve performance when matching exercises to their solutions by replacing O(N×M) nested-loop scans with an O(N) precomputed dictionary lookup, targeting large materials with many exercises/solutions.

Changes:

  • Precompute solutions_dict per material to map exercise_label -> solution in MaterialExtractor.get_all_exercises.
  • Precompute solutions_dict per material to map exercise_label -> solution in RAGIndexer.index_materials.
  • Apply broad formatting/style normalization (quotes, wrapping) in both modules.
