perf(db): reads no longer wait behind writes; pages answer from cache

A series page took about a second to show its seasons on a phone, every
visit, although they were cached. Three things stacked up:

- One SQLite connection behind one mutex served the whole app, so every
  read queued behind every write. The database now has one owner: a
  writer thread for writes and a pool of read-only WAL connections for
  reads. synchronous = NORMAL and a busy timeout on every connection.
- The listing query built the set of every available item in the
  database before filtering to the parent (~80 ms on a desktop for a
  100k-item cache), then fetched user data one row at a time. It now
  checks availability per row, uses the hierarchy indexes (1.5 ms on
  the same benchmark) and batches the user-data lookup.
- A cache read that missed the 100 ms fast path was set aside until the
  server answered. It is now raced against the server; whichever answers
  first with content wins.

On the Fairphone, Frasier's season and episode lists now come from
cache in 34-133 ms (was 600-1030 ms waiting on the server).

Fixes found on the way, each with a test that failed first:
- sync_queue_mutation could return another mutation's row id: the id
  came from a second trip to the shared connection. insert() reads it in
  the same job.
- save_to_cache switched foreign keys off on the shared connection
  across its awaits, so concurrent writes ran unchecked. The toggle now
  lives inside one writer job, and a page is one transaction instead of
  one commit per row.

Also: thumbnail LRU touches no longer block the lookup; unused
tokio-rusqlite dropped. Design and invariants in
docs/architecture/08-database-design.md (Connection ownership, Listing
query shape) and 03-data-flow.md.

Async database interface wrapping synchronous `rusqlite` to prevent blocking the Tokio runtime:
Async database interface over `rusqlite`. `RusqliteService` owns the
database: writes run as jobs on one writer thread, reads on a pool of read-only
WAL connections, so a read never waits for a write. Callers only see the
trait (`execute`, `insert`, `execute_detached`, `query_one` / `query_optional` /
`query_many`, `transaction`, `transaction_without_foreign_keys`) and build
queries with `Query` + `QueryParam`, which keeps values out of the SQL string.
```rust
#[async_trait]
pub trait DatabaseService: Send + Sync {
async fn execute(&self, query: Query) -> Result<usize, DatabaseError>;
async fn execute_batch(&self, queries: Vec<Query>) -> Result<(), DatabaseError>;
async fn query_one<T, F>(&self, query: Query, mapper: F) -> Result<T, DatabaseError>
where F: FnOnce(&Row) -> Result<T> + Send + 'static;
async fn query_optional<T, F>(&self, query: Query, mapper: F) -> Result<Option<T>, DatabaseError>
where F: FnOnce(&Row) -> Result<T> + Send + 'static;
async fn query_many<T, F>(&self, query: Query, mapper: F) -> Result<Vec<T>, DatabaseError>
where F: Fn(&Row) -> Result<T> + Send + 'static;
async fn transaction<F, T>(&self, f: F) -> Result<T, DatabaseError>
where F: FnOnce(Transaction) -> Result<T> + Send + 'static;

pub struct RusqliteService {
connection: Arc<Mutex<Connection>>,
}
impl DatabaseService for RusqliteService {
async fn execute(&self, query: Query) -> Result<usize, DatabaseError> {
let conn = self.connection.clone();
tokio::task::spawn_blocking(move || {
// Execute query on blocking thread pool
}).await?
}
// ... other methods use spawn_blocking
}
```
**Key Benefits:**
- **No Freezing**: All blocking DB ops run in thread pool via `spawn_blocking`
- **Type Safety**: `QueryParam` enum prevents SQL injection
- **Future Proof**: Easy to swap to native async DB (tokio-rusqlite)
- **Testable**: Can mock DatabaseService for tests
**Usage Pattern:**
```rust
// Before (blocking - causes UI freeze)
let conn = database.connection();
let conn = conn.lock().unwrap(); // BLOCKS
conn.query_row(...) // BLOCKS
// After (async - no freezing)
let db_service = database.service();
let db_service = database.service(); // cheap clone of the shared owner
let query = Query::with_params("SELECT ...", vec![...]);
db_service.query_one(query, |row| {...}).await // spawn_blocking internally
db_service.query_one(query, |row| {...}).await // runs on a reader
```

**Key Points:**
- Cache queries have 100ms timeout for responsiveness
- Server queries always run for fresh data
- Cache wins if it has meaningful content
- Automatic fallback to server if cache is empty/stale
- Background cache updates (planned)
- Both legs start together. A cache answer with content inside 100 ms
(`CACHE_FAST_PATH`) returns at once.
- **The deadline does not decide the race.** A cache read still running at
100 ms is raced against the server (`HybridRepository::race_slow_cache`), and
whichever answers first *with content* wins. It used to be that a read past
the deadline was only consulted if the server failed, so a page whose cache
read took 150 ms always paid the full server round trip — about a second on a
phone, on every visit.
- An empty or failed cache answer is not a win; the server decides. A failed
server falls back to whatever the cache said, waiting for it if necessary.
- On a cache win the server's page is still cached in the background when it
arrives, so per-user state (positions, favourites) keeps up.
- A `get_items` leg that takes 250 ms or more is logged at INFO with its row
count, so a slow page can be attributed to the cache or the server from a
device log alone.
- **Connectivity side-effect**: each server request feeds the `ConnectivityMonitor`, which is the source of truth for the offline/online banner (see [07-connectivity.md](07-connectivity.md)). A server-answered error (401/404/5xx) still counts as *reachable* — only network failures, sustained past a debounce window, flip the app to offline.

## Connection ownership
`storage::Database` is opened once at startup and owns the database for the
life of the app; nothing else opens the file. Everything goes through
`Database::service()`, which returns a clone of one `RusqliteService`
(`storage/db_service.rs`) — callers never hold a `Connection`.
```
┌─────────────────────────────┐
execute / insert / │ writer thread ("db-writer") │ one read-write connection,
transaction / ────►│ jobs run in arrival order │ foreign_keys = ON
execute_detached └─────────────────────────────┘
┌─────────────────────────────┐
query_one / │ reader pool (3 connections) │ query_only = ON; WAL gives
query_optional / ─►│ via spawn_blocking │ each the last committed
query_many └─────────────────────────────┘ snapshot
```
Pragmas: `journal_mode = WAL`, `synchronous = NORMAL`, `busy_timeout = 5 s` on
every connection.
**Why.** It used to be one connection behind one `std::sync::Mutex`. WAL was on,
but with a single connection its one benefit — readers running beside a writer —
never applied: every read queued behind every write. A series page's background
refresh cached hundreds of episodes one autocommit (and one fsync) at a time,
and library pages, thumbnail lookups and settings reads all waited behind the
pile; the same page measured 1.7 s or 3.95 s depending on what was queued.
**Invariants a change must keep:**
- **Writes go to the writer, reads to the pool.** A reader is `query_only`, so a
write sent through `query_*` fails loudly rather than racing the writer. A
read that must see a write *in the same unit of work* belongs inside the
`transaction` closure, which runs on the writer.
- **Connection-wide state is set inside one writer job.** `PRAGMA foreign_keys`
is per connection and ignored inside a transaction. `save_to_cache` used to
switch it off with one `execute` and back on with another, so it stayed off
for every other write that ran across the save's awaits (they did — nearly
all of 1,600 FK-violating writes got through in the regression test).
`transaction_without_foreign_keys` flips it around `BEGIN`/`COMMIT` in a single
job. Any future pragma toggle must work the same way.
- **An insert's rowid comes from the same job.** `insert()` returns it; there is
deliberately no standalone `last_insert_rowid()`, which returned whichever row
the last *anyone* inserted.
- **Batch writes into one transaction.** A commit is a queue slot on the
writer; a page of items is one `transaction`, not one `execute` per row.
- **Best-effort bookkeeping does not wait.** `execute_detached` queues a write
(the thumbnail LRU access time) in order with the rest and returns
immediately; failures are only logged.
- **The writer survives a panicking job.** The job's caller gets an error; the
loop rolls back any transaction the job left open and restores
`foreign_keys = ON`, then carries on.
**`synchronous = NORMAL`** is corruption-safe in WAL mode and survives an app
crash; only a power cut can lose the last few commits. Everything stored is
either re-fetchable from the server or (the sync queue, local positions)
recoverable at that granularity.
**In-memory databases** (tests) cannot be shared between connections, so
`RusqliteService::new` has no pool and routes reads through the writer — the
old serialized behaviour.
**Not done, and why:** grouping consecutive small `execute` jobs into one
commit on the writer. With `synchronous = NORMAL` a commit no longer fsyncs, so
the gain is small, and it would change a failed statement's error semantics
for the jobs grouped with it.
### Listing query shape
`OfflineRepository::get_items` (`items_listing_sql`) is the hot read: every
library, series, season and album page goes through it, and it must fit the
100 ms cache fast path on a phone.
- **Availability is checked per row, with `EXISTS`** (cached for browsing,
downloaded, or a container with a downloaded child). It used to be a CTE
that built the id of *every* available item in the database before filtering
to the parent: ~80 ms on a desktop for a 100k-item cache, whatever the parent.
- **A parent that is not a library is matched on the hierarchy columns alone**
(`parent_id`/`album_id`/`season_id`/`series_id`), which SQLite answers with a
multi-index `OR`. Whether the parent is a library is looked up first; the
library clause can only match for a library, and inside the same `OR` it
forced a full scan.
- **`+i.server_id`**: the app never runs `ANALYZE`, and without statistics the
planner prefers the `server_id` index — which every row shares — over the
hierarchy indexes. The unary `+` takes it out of consideration.
- **User data is fetched in batches** (`with_user_data`, one `IN (…)` query per
500 rows), not once per row.
Result: 80 ms → 1.5 ms on the desktop benchmark;
`listing_a_non_library_parent_uses_the_hierarchy_indexes` asserts the plan.
`storage::tests::write_bench_database` (ignored) writes a phone-sized
catalogue for timing queries with the `sqlite3` CLI.

//! Database service abstraction layer
//! Database service: the single owner of the SQLite database.
//!
//! This module provides an async database interface that abstracts away
//! the underlying database implementation. This makes it easy to:
//! - Switch between sync (rusqlite) and async (tokio-rusqlite) implementations
//! - Prevent blocking the async runtime with synchronous database calls
//! - Test with different database backends
//! - Migrate to other database systems in the future
//! Every query in the app goes through [`RusqliteService`], which owns the
//! connections and hands work to them — callers never touch a `Connection`.
//!
//! - **Writes** (`execute`, `insert`, `transaction`, …) are sent as jobs to one
//! dedicated writer thread that owns the read-write connection. SQLite allows
//! one writer at a time anyway; owning it on one thread makes that explicit,
//! keeps connection-wide state (pragmas) out of reach of concurrent callers,
//! and parks no tokio blocking threads on a mutex while writes queue up.
//! - **Reads** (`query_*`) run on a small pool of read-only connections. The
//! database is in WAL mode, so readers see the last committed state and never
//! wait for the writer — a large catalog-cache transaction no longer stalls
//! library pages, thumbnail lookups or settings reads.
//!
//! A service built with [`RusqliteService::new`] has no reader pool (in-memory
//! databases cannot be shared between connections) and routes reads through
//! the writer, which is the old single-connection behaviour tests rely on.
//!
//! See `docs/architecture/08-database-design.md` → "Connection ownership".
