💡 What: Replaced the on-the-fly math (floating point division, branching, and .pow(2.4)) inside ColorUtils.linearized() with a pre-computed 256-element DoubleArray lookup table (LUT).

🎯 Why: The linearized function is called heavily during color conversions (e.g., sRGB to XYZ or HCT). Because the input parameter rgbComponent is an 8-bit color component strictly constrained to the integer domain [0, 255], computing these complex floating-point expressions dynamically on every invocation is redundant. Pre-computing them at initialization drastically reduces CPU cycle waste in KMP hot paths.

📊 Impact: Ad-hoc local benchmarking running 10,000,000 iterations showed an execution time drop from ~548ms to ~21ms—an approximate 26x performance improvement for this specific operation.

🔬 Measurement: Code was verified against existing unit tests using ./gradlew :halogen-core:test to ensure mathematical correctness. No regressions were introduced, and formatting is maintained per ./gradlew lint.

Replaced the on-the-fly floating point arithmetic and `.pow(2.4)` operations inside `ColorUtils.linearized()` with a pre-computed 256-element DoubleArray lookup table. This yields a significant performance improvement for color processing hot paths because 8-bit sRGB color components strictly fall within a discrete finite domain (0-255).
