Feed queries ran 5 correlated subqueries per row (3 COUNT + 2 EXISTS for engagement counts and viewer context). Replaced with LEFT JOIN aggregations computed once per query. Adds migration 016 with indexes on likes(thought_id), boosts(thought_id), thoughts(in_reply_to_id), and compound viewer-context indexes — expected to drop ~3s queries to <100ms on typical page sizes. Also removes WebFinger from the footer (requires query params, zero standalone value as a link).
