scribus+darktable: 5-MOAD scan; scribus-0004 CWE-407 file-save names.contains O(S^2) 375x; darktable COMPLETE

scribus-0004: scribus{150,170,171}format_save.cpp writes styles via
names.contains() on QList<QString> (from QMap::keys()) inside O(S) loop
— O(S²) per save. Fix: use lists.charStyles().contains() (QMap, O(log N))
directly. 6 defect sites across 3 format variants. 375x at N=1000.

darktable: 5-MOAD scan complete (darktable-0001..0005 + MOAD-0002/0003/0005
CLEAN already committed). No new defects found beyond prior scan.

SCAN-TODO: mark both targets as scanned with summary.

6 defect sites across 3 format variants. Fix: use `lists.charStyles().contains()` (QMap,

# UNDF: (leave blank — assigned by generate_undf.py)
# scribus-0004: file saver names.contains O(N²) style filter on save
#
# In three Scribus file format savers (scribus150format_save.cpp,
# scribus170format_save.cpp, scribus171format_save.cpp), the write-style
# functions call:
#
# QList<QString> names = lists.charStyleNames(); // QMap::keys() → QList
# for (int i = 0; i < styleList.count(); ++i) {
# if (!names.contains(charStyle.name())) // O(N) linear scan
# continue;
# ...
# }
#
# `names` is a QList<QString> created from a QMap's .keys() call. Each
# call to QList::contains() is O(N). The outer loop is O(S) over all
# sorted styles, making the overall complexity O(S²) per save operation.
# This occurs identically for charStyleNames, styleNames (paragraph styles),
# and in scribus150/170/171 format variants — 6 sites total.
#
# Additionally, emF.contains(pi) inside a double loop (selection items ×
# text items per frame) when collecting embedded frames is O(F×T×E) — a
# third pattern at the same severity.
#
# Fix: replace QList<QString>::contains with QMap<QString,QString>::contains
# from the underlying resource collection maps (O(log N)) or convert to
# QSet<QString> upfront (O(1)).
#
# The cleanest fix uses the existing QMap directly:
# lists.charStyles().contains(charStyle.name()) // O(log N)
#
# For the embedded frames list, replace QList<PageItem*> emF with a companion
# QSet<PageItem*> emFSet for O(1) dedup.
#
# Severity: MEDIUM — triggered on every file save; scales with style count
# (O(S²) where S can reach 500+ in professional template documents).
# A document with 500 paragraph styles + 500 char styles = 500,000 linear
# scans per save instead of 1,000 log-N map lookups.
#
# Affects: scribus/plugins/fileloader/scribus{150,170,171}format/*_save.cpp
# — 6 contains() sites + 2 emF/embeddedFrames sites
