Research direction
The issue names no file, entry point, or test. Start by locating the C++ paths that split large strings into lines and create substrings, then compare where std::string construction or copying can be avoided with std::string_view. Run the relevant existing tests or benchmarks if available; done means the applicable paths use views without changing behavior.
