czlonkowski cfd2325ca4 fix: add FTS5 search index to prevent 69% search failure rate (v2.18.5)
Fixes production search failures where 69% of user searches returned zero
results for critical nodes (webhook, merge, split batch) despite nodes
existing in database.

Root Cause:
- schema.sql missing nodes_fts FTS5 virtual table
- No validation to detect empty database or missing FTS5
- rebuild.ts used schema without search index
- Result: 9 of 13 searches failed in production

Changes:
1. Schema Updates (src/database/schema.sql):
   - Added nodes_fts FTS5 virtual table with full-text indexing
   - Added INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE triggers for auto-sync
   - Indexes: node_type, display_name, description, documentation, operations

2. Database Validation (src/scripts/rebuild.ts):
   - Added empty database detection (fails if zero nodes)
   - Added FTS5 existence and synchronization validation
   - Added searchability tests for critical nodes
   - Added minimum node count check (500+)

3. Runtime Health Checks (src/mcp/server.ts):
   - Database health validation on first access
   - Detects empty database with clear error
   - Detects missing FTS5 with actionable warning

4. Test Suite (53 new tests):
   - tests/integration/database/node-fts5-search.test.ts (14 tests)
   - tests/integration/database/empty-database.test.ts (14 tests)
   - tests/integration/ci/database-population.test.ts (25 tests)

5. Database Rebuild:
   - data/nodes.db rebuilt with FTS5 index
   - 535 nodes fully synchronized with FTS5

Impact:
-  All critical searches now work (webhook, merge, split, code, http)
-  FTS5 provides fast ranked search (< 100ms)
-  Clear error messages if database empty
-  CI validates committed database integrity
-  Runtime health checks detect issues immediately

Performance:
- FTS5 search: < 100ms for typical queries
- LIKE fallback: < 500ms (unchanged, still functional)

Testing: LIKE search investigation revealed it was perfectly functional,
only failed because database was empty. No changes needed.
