* fix: avoid redundant __init__ calls on hot path
Previously, imports on the request hot path caused __init__ to run
excessively for every request. This change ensures initialization
happens once, reducing cpu overhead.
* fix: remove redundant __init__ import
The current implementation no longer requires an import at the top of the function.
* fix: placed on core utils for future reuse
* test: add coverage & remove inline import
A general import-checking tool across all endpoints would be a large PR.
This commit focuses on a smaller, targeted fix for the discussed case.
* added import check to CI
