fix: use CTE in searchFTS to prevent query planner regression with collection filter
When searchFTS combines FTS5 MATCH with a collection filter (d.collection = ?) in the same WHERE clause, SQLite's query planner abandons the FTS5 index and falls back to a full scan. This turns an 8ms query into a 17+ second query on large collections (16K+ documents). The fix wraps the FTS5 query in a CTE so it runs first with proper index usage, then filters by collection on the materialized results. Benchmarks on a 16,258-document collection: Before: qmd search "knowctl" -c <collection> → 19.8s After: qmd search "knowctl" -c <collection> → 0.4s The CTE fetches limit*10 candidates from the FTS index to ensure enough results survive collection filtering. Without a collection filter, the query plan was already optimal, so no CTE overhead is added in that case.
