Prerelease Alpha 25 — Spotlight, instantly

Search catches up with memory. Alpha 25 replaces the old load-everything Spotlight flow with server-side SQLite search. Instead of hauling 1,600+ sessions into memory and making heavy users wait, Rush now searches titles, first messages, and last messages directly in the database.

The payoff is speed you can feel. The old path took roughly 166 ms on a large session corpus. The new one lands in the 2–3 ms range. Open Spotlight, type two letters, and results are already there.

This is more than polish. Search is the shape of memory in Rush. If recalling past work feels slow, the whole product feels hesitant. Alpha 25 fixes that at the root.
