perf(db): batch node lookups, fix insertNode cache, auto-ANALYZE after writes

+ * Regression tests for three changes:
+ *   1. Batch `getNodesByIds` collapses graph-traversal N+1 reads.
+ *   2. `insertNode` invalidates the LRU cache so INSERT OR REPLACE
+ *      doesn't serve a stale cached row on next `getNodeById`.
+ *   3. `runMaintenance` runs `PRAGMA optimize` + `wal_checkpoint(PASSIVE)`
+ *      after indexAll/sync without throwing.
