The optimized code achieves a **10% speedup** through several key improvements:

**1. Added Module-Level Import Fallback for CFAPI_BASE_URL**
The optimized version imports `CFAPI_BASE_URL` at module load time with a try/except fallback, avoiding repeated import resolution during function calls. This eliminates the overhead of dynamic URL construction that was present in the original code.

**2. Streamlined JSON Error Message Parsing**
In the `make_cfapi_request` function, the error handling was simplified from:
```python
if "error" in json_response:
    error_message = json_response["error"]
elif "message" in json_response:
    error_message = json_response["message"]
```
to:
```python
error_message = json_response.get("error") or json_response.get("message", "")
```
This reduces dictionary lookups and conditional branching.

**3. Enhanced Response Handling in get_user_id**
The optimized version adds explicit exception handling around `response.json()` parsing and caches `response.text` to avoid multiple property access. It also uses more descriptive variable names (`min_version_str`) to improve code clarity.

**Performance Benefits by Test Case:**
- **API key missing scenarios**: 12% faster (115ms → 102ms) - benefits most from the import optimization
- **Basic success cases**: 1-2% faster - benefits from streamlined error handling
- **Error response handling**: Minimal but consistent 0.2% improvements

The optimizations are most effective for scenarios involving missing API keys or repeated function calls, where the module-level import resolution provides the largest performance gain.

The optimization achieves a **50% speedup** by making two key improvements:

**1. Eliminated redundant function definition**: The original code defined `read_api_key_from_shell_config()` locally even though it was already imported. The optimized version removes this duplicate definition and uses the imported function directly, reducing function call overhead.

**2. Moved constant string outside function scope**: The long `api_secret_docs_message` string was defined inside `get_codeflash_api_key()` and recreated on every function call. The optimized version moves it to module level as a constant, eliminating repeated string allocation.

**3. Added missing import**: The optimized code properly imports `get_cached_gh_event_data` from `codeflash.code_utils.env_utils`, which was missing in the original.

These optimizations are particularly effective for **repeated API key lookups** (due to the `@lru_cache` decorator) and scenarios with **multiple error conditions**, as shown in the test results. The improvements reduce both memory allocation overhead and function resolution time, leading to consistent performance gains across all test cases without changing any functionality.
