Title

[Performance] - Code Refactoring for a More Efficient gissy CLI ⚡️

Issue Description

This issue is for a community-driven effort to improve the overall performance, responsiveness, and code quality of the gissy CLI tool. As the project grows, these optimizations will be crucial for a smooth and fast user experience. Contributors are invited to tackle one or more of the specific improvements listed below.

Proposed Improvements

• Optimize File Watching: The current file watcher triggers tests and linting on every file change. This can be inefficient. We propose implementing a debounce or throttle mechanism to bundle rapid file changes, triggering the checks only once after a brief period of inactivity. This will significantly reduce CPU usage during development.
• Asynchronous AI API Calls: The tool makes calls to various AI providers. Refactoring these calls to be asynchronous will prevent the main thread from blocking, making the CLI more responsive while waiting for network-dependent AI responses.
• Efficient Configuration Handling: Reading the .gissyrc.json file on every command can add a small but cumulative performance overhead. Consider implementing a configuration caching mechanism for long-running processes (like the file watcher) to minimize repeated disk I/O operations.
• Improve String Manipulation: Analyze any areas of heavy string concatenation, particularly within loops, and refactor them to use more efficient methods like string builders to improve performance.

It's just nit picking but could benefit you in long run

Thank you, we will take care of this

A coder named MCarlquist, so grand,
Found Gissy was slow in the land.
With a tweak and a refactor,
The code was a factor,
Now the CLI's fast on command.
Thanks for the great first issue!

Also, will try to find my rust attempt at this some months ago for you to reference/ pseudo code da shiznick outta it.
