💡 What: Replaced an os.system("chown -R ...") call and an independent os.walk directory traversal loop with a single unified os.walk pass inside cidata_ingest.py that handles both file permission enforcement and ownership configuration. Also updated os.chown to os.lchown globally for security.

🎯 Why: Using os.system creates unnecessary subshell spawn overhead, and separating ownership changes from permission changes results in multiple redundant I/O passes across the entire directory structure. By using os.lchown instead of os.chown, this also prevents following symlinks which guards against potential symlink attack vulnerabilities.

📊 Impact: Reduces system call overhead, eliminates subshell spawning for permissions, halves directory I/O passes, and improves security by not following symlinks.

🔬 Measurement: Verified functionality by passing all tests inside test_cidata_ingest.py and reviewing code execution flow to make sure no performance regressions are introduced.

Combined a shelling out to `chown -R` via `os.system` and a subsequent `os.walk` loop into a single native python `os.walk` directory traversal pass that uses `os.lchown` and `os.chmod` together. This eliminates the overhead of spawning a subshell and redundant I/O operations over the target directory. It also addresses a potential symlink vulnerability by replacing `os.chown` with `os.lchown` globally in the file.
