Subject: [PATCH] Optimize
 RoboflowMultiLabelClassificationModelBlockV2.run_remotely

The optimized code achieves a **5% speedup** through two key micro-optimizations in the post-processing logic:

**What was optimized:**
1. **Single-loop processing**: The `_post_process_result` method was restructured to combine metadata attachment and result dict creation into one loop, eliminating the separate list comprehension pass.

2. **Conditional list coercion**: Added a type check before converting predictions to a list, avoiding unnecessary list creation when the inference already returns a list.

**Key changes:**
- **Combined operations**: Instead of first attaching metadata to predictions in one loop, then creating result dictionaries in a separate list comprehension, both operations now happen in a single iteration.
- **In-place updates**: Metadata is attached directly to prediction dictionaries during the same loop that builds the final result list.
- **Smarter type handling**: Only converts predictions to a list when it's actually a single dict, not when it's already a list.

**Why this improves performance:**
- **Reduced iteration overhead**: Eliminates one complete pass through the predictions list, reducing loop setup/teardown costs.
- **Better memory locality**: Processing each prediction completely before moving to the next improves cache efficiency.
- **Fewer intermediate operations**: Combines what were previously two separate operations (metadata attachment + result building) into one.

**Best suited for:** Workloads processing multiple predictions in batch, where the reduced iteration overhead and improved memory access patterns provide measurable benefits. The optimization is most effective when processing moderate to large batches of inference results.
