💡 What:
Replaced per-frame SelectMany, GroupBy, ToDictionary, and ToList in RobotMerger.Process with explicitly indexed pre-allocated arrays and lists. Handled unknown or invalid Robot IDs via a separate struct-keyed dictionary + object pool.

🎯 Why:
The LINQ methods allocated enumerators, IGrouping instances, closures, dictionaries, and new lists at ~100Hz, leading to heavy GC pressure. The fixed robot count (CommonConfigs.MaxRobots * 2) allows for an O(1) allocation-free mapping using arrays instead of hash tables.

📊 Impact:
Eliminates all per-frame grouping and collection allocations inside RobotMerger.Process (savings scaling linearly with active tracker counts on each camera).

🔬 Measurement:
dotnet-counters monitor --counters System.Runtime[gen-0-gc-count,alloc-rate]

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

New to Jules? Learn more at jules.google/docs.


For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task.

💡 What:
Replaced per-frame `SelectMany`, `GroupBy`, `ToDictionary`, and `ToList` in `RobotMerger.Process` with explicitly indexed pre-allocated arrays and lists. Handled unknown or invalid Robot IDs via a separate struct-keyed dictionary + object pool.
Fixed multiple compiler warnings related to unused variables and possible null references in `Soccer` codebase that were breaking the CI pipeline due to strict warnings-as-errors configuration.

🎯 Why:
The LINQ methods allocated enumerators, `IGrouping` instances, closures, dictionaries, and new lists at ~100Hz, leading to heavy GC pressure. The fixed robot count (`CommonConfigs.MaxRobots * 2`) allows for an O(1) allocation-free mapping using arrays instead of hash tables. The warnings were breaking GitHub CI checks.

📊 Impact:
Eliminates all per-frame grouping and collection allocations inside `RobotMerger.Process` (savings scaling linearly with active tracker counts on each camera). Ensures CI pipeline passes.

🔬 Measurement:
`dotnet-counters monitor --counters System.Runtime[gen-0-gc-count,alloc-rate]`

Also updated GitHub workflows to use Node 24 instead of 20 to avoid deprecation warnings.
