Merge branch 'main' into feat/rice-searching-with-sqlite

Resolved conflicts by:
- Combining imports from both branches in search.ts (added
hoistedNoteService and beccaService alongside existing ftsSearchService
and log imports)
- Integrating FTS5 search optimization from feature branch with flatText
attribute search logic from main in note_content_fulltext.ts
- Maintained backward compatibility by keeping fallback search
implementation for cases where FTS5 is not available or not suitable

+less than the item in the middle of the interval, narrow the interval to the lower half.
+Otherwise narrow it to the upper half. The algorithm continues until the value is found or
+the interval is empty.
+
+Linear search, on the other hand, checks each element sequentially until the desired element
+is found or all elements have been searched. While simple, it is less efficient for large datasets.

+# Adding a new locale
+Once the Weblate translations for a single language have reached ~50% in coverage, it's time to add it to the application.
+
+To do so:
+
+1.  In `packages/commons` look for `i18n.ts` and add a new entry to `UNSORTED_LOCALES` for the language.
+2.  In `apps/server` look for `services/i18n.ts` and add a mapping for the new language in `DAYJS_LOADER`. Sort the entire list.
+3.  In `apps/client`, look for `collections/calendar/index.tsx` and modify `LOCALE_MAPPINGS` to add support to the new language.
+4.  In `apps/client`, look for `widgets/type_widgets/canvas/i18n.ts` and modify `LANGUAGE_MAPPINGS`. A unit test ensures that the language is actually loadable.
+5.  In `apps/client`, look for `widgets/type_widgets/MindMap.tsx` and modify `LOCALE_MAPPINGS`. The type definitions should already validate if the new value is supported by Mind Elixir.
+6.  In `packages/ckeditor5`, look for `i18n.ts` and modify `LOCALE_MAPPINGS`. The import validation should already check if the new value is supported by CKEditor, and there's also a test to ensure it.
