Performance improvements:
- Fix N+1 query in get_conversations() using COUNT subquery instead of
len(c.messages) which triggered lazy loading for each conversation
- Add SQLAlchemy engine caching to avoid creating new database connections
on every request
- Add React.memo to ChatMessage component to prevent unnecessary re-renders
during message streaming
- Move BOLD_REGEX to module scope to avoid recreating on each render
Code quality improvements:
- Remove 10+ console.log debug statements from AssistantChat.tsx and
AssistantPanel.tsx that were left from development
- Add user feedback for delete errors in ConversationHistory - dialog now
stays open and shows error message instead of silently failing
- Update ConfirmDialog to accept ReactNode for message prop to support
rich error content
These changes address issues identified in the code review of PR #74
(conversation history feature).
