strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first.  This read may exceed the
destination size limit.  This is both inefficient and can lead to linear
read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1].  In an effort
to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy().

No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.
