refactor: simplify strings.Join usage for NoneString

[ganeshvenkatasai]

Description

This PR simplifies calls to strings.Join by removing the unnecessary use of [:] on the NoneString slice.

In Go, using NoneString[:] creates a shallow copy of the slice. Since NoneString is already a slice and strings.Join does not modify it, the copy is redundant. Removing [:] preserves the same functionality while improving code clarity and efficiency.

• Verified that the behavior remains unchanged.
• Change improves readability and removes a small overhead of unnecessary slice copying.

This PR simplifies the code by removing unnecessary slice operations when joining strings. The change improves readability and potentially offers a slight performance improvement by avoiding the creation of shallow copies of the NoneString slice. Overall, this is a good refactoring.

Summary of Findings

• Unnecessary slice operation: The [:] slice operation on NoneString was redundant as strings.Join does not modify the slice. Removing it simplifies the code and avoids unnecessary memory allocation.
