 ### Changes
 
 - Plugins/tasks: add a detached runtime registration contract so plugin executors can own detached task lifecycle and cancellation without reaching into core task internals. (#68915) Thanks @mbelinky.
+- Terminal/logging: optimize `sanitizeForLog()` by replacing the iterative control-character stripping loop with a single regex pass while preserving the existing ANSI-first sanitization behavior. (#67205) Thanks @bulutmuf.
