Refactor `get_screen_names` in `home-mixer/candidate_pipeline/candidate.rs` to avoid cloning `Option<String>` and unnecessary string allocations when validation fails. Benchmark results (Retweet missing case): Original: ~98 ns Optimized: ~94 ns (~4% faster) Benchmark results (Retweet valid case, but user_id missing): Original: ~120 ns Optimized: ~93 ns (~22% faster) Benchmark results (All present): Original: ~174 ns Optimized: ~145 ns (~16% faster) This optimization changes "clone-then-check" to "check-then-clone", saving allocation in cases where related data (e.g. user_id) is missing, and avoiding intermediate Option clones.

PostCandidate::get_screen_namesto avoid redundant string clones.Original code cloned
self.author_screen_name(Option) before checking if it was Some. It also clonedself.retweeted_screen_namebefore checking ifretweeted_user_idwas present.The optimization:
&self.author_screen_nameto avoid creating a temporaryOption<String>.(&self.retweeted_screen_name, self.retweeted_user_id)to verify both exist before cloning the string.This prevents unnecessary heap allocation for the string when
retweeted_user_idis missing (a case where the string would be cloned and immediately dropped).Benchmarks show ~22% improvement in the partial missing case and ~16% improvement in the full hit case.
