💡 What:
Replaced an external os.system("chown -R ...") call with native Python os.chown integrated into the existing os.walk loop in cidata_ingest.py.

🎯 Why:
Previously, the code performed two full passes over the target directory: one via a spawned subshell running the chown -R binary, and a second via Python's native os.walk to enforce file permissions. Spawning external subshells (os.system) is slow and incurs unnecessary context-switching overhead, and redundantly traversing the file tree doubles the I/O cost.

📊 Impact:

  • Eliminates subshell spawn overhead for changing ownership.
  • Reduces directory traversals by 50% (combines permission and ownership operations into a single O(N) pass).
  • Avoids external dependency calls, providing better cross-platform/sandbox compatibility and standardizes on native Python file manipulation.

🔬 Measurement:
Run python3 -m pytest test_cidata_ingest.py to ensure the logic changes did not break the surrounding operations or error handling paths. Testing passes perfectly and py_compile checks verify the syntax.
