* perf(persistence): skip annotation join in CountAll when unused The Native API list endpoints (/api/song, /api/album, /api/artist) issue a pagination count on every request via rest.GetAll. CountAll unconditionally added a LEFT JOIN on the annotation table to a count(distinct id) query. The join's columns are stripped by count(), but the distinct-over-join forced SQLite to stream and dedup every row, making the count dominate the request time on large libraries (e.g. ~190ms cold for 95k songs, seconds for non-admin users behind the library subquery). Gate the annotation join: only add it when a filter actually references an annotation column. The need is detected by rendering the query to SQL and matching annotation column names as whole words, which covers both named filters (starred, has_rating) and raw squirrel filters. The column set is derived from model.Annotations so it tracks schema changes; average_rating is excluded because it lives on the base table, and word-boundary matching keeps it from matching the annotation column rating. Counts are unchanged; only the query plan changes. Unfiltered song counts drop from ~37ms to ~4ms (warm) on a 95k-song library. * test(persistence): make annotation-join detection case-insensitive Address review feedback: SQLite column names are case-insensitive, so a raw filter using e.g. "RATING" would previously evade the case-sensitive column regex and wrongly drop the annotation join. Add the (?i) flag (average_rating stays excluded — the underscore still prevents a word boundary before rating) and cover it with mixed-case tests. Also make the starred-count assertion an exact value instead of a range.
