Subject: [PATCH] perf: Optimize `validate_command_args` fast path

- Add a secondary fast-path check for dangerous characters in `validate_command_args` to avoid expensive loop for safe quoted strings.
- Improve performance for quoted command arguments by ~90%.
- Remove unused import in `src/modules/get_url.rs`.
