The sidebar asked for a count and a 60-char snippet and got every hot
message of every listed session: 2,097 rows / 4.4 MB for 507 sessions,
plus a full Pydantic hydration. list_page now aggregates counts and the
last displayed line in SQL (4.0 ms, 30 rows); get_meta folds its COUNT
into the same round trip.

save() runs after every streaming step and rewrote the whole hot
history each time — 1,016 UPDATEs, 46.8 ms, per call, growing with the
session. A fingerprint of the mutable columns lets it touch only the
rows that changed, which is normally the tail.

HTTP: content-hashed /assets are immutable for a year, gzip drops to
level 6 (same ratio within a couple of percent on JSON, half the CPU),
and session search gets pg_trgm GIN indexes when the extension exists.

Client: one shared highlight.js on lib/common plus the languages we
actually render (openscad included) instead of the full ~190-language
entry point, and the unused @tanstack/vue-virtual is gone.
