With lowercaseFirstCharacterOnly: false, the char-scanning loop in lint_string never took its early return: the chars().nth(n) lookup inside the loop cannot fail for n < chars().count(), so the else { return } branch was unreachable. As a result, all-lowercase titles fell through the loop and were reported as violations.

This replaces the loop with a bytes().any(|b| b.is_ascii_uppercase()) check (uppercase detection here is inherently ASCII: the rule's fix path lowercases via ASCII) and adds two regression pass-tests to vitest/prefer-lowercase-title covering all-lowercase titles under lowercaseFirstCharacterOnly: false.

The old loop was also accidentally quadratic (chars().nth(n) per iteration restarts the char walk each time).

Benchmark

Interleaved paired-sample benchmark (N=40) on a synthetic title-dense fixture, single-rule oxlintrc (titles crafted to report on both binaries so the perf comparison is apples-to-apples despite the behavior fix):

mean
before 15.70 ms
after 7.60 ms

2.07× faster (paired t=44). Parse-only differential was null.

…eFirstCharacterOnly is false

With lowercaseFirstCharacterOnly: false, the char-scanning loop never
took its early return (the nth() lookup inside the loop cannot fail),
so all-lowercase titles fell through and were reported. Replace the
loop with a bytes().any(is_ascii_uppercase) check and add regression
tests.

The old loop was also O(n^2) via chars().nth(n) per iteration; the
replacement is 2.07x faster on a title-dense fixture (15.7ms -> 7.6ms,
paired N=40).

…rcase-title

Add fail + fix cases for titles whose first character is lowercase but
which contain an uppercase character later — the case the removed scan
loop existed to detect, and which the existing `SFC Compile` case did not
cover (it starts uppercase, so first-char-only logic would catch it too).

The jest rule had no coverage of the option at all, so add a pass case
for the all-lowercase regression there as well.
