ROOT CAUSE: RegistryEntry stores file attachments as base64 strings in JSON.
A single 5MB PDF becomes ~6.7MB of base64. With 6 entries, the exportAll()
endpoint was sending 30-60MB of JSON on every page load taking 2+ minutes.
Fix: Added ?lightweight=true parameter to /api/storage GET endpoint.
When enabled, stripHeavyFields() recursively removes large 'data' and
'fileData' string fields (>1KB) from JSON values, replacing with '__stripped__'.
Changes:
- /api/storage route.ts: stripHeavyFields() + lightweight query param
- StorageService.export(): accepts { lightweight?: boolean } option
- DatabaseStorageAdapter.export(): passes lightweight flag to API
- LocalStorageAdapter.export(): accepts option (no-op, localStorage is fast)
- useStorage.exportAll(): passes options through
- registry-service.ts: getAllEntries() uses lightweight=true by default
- registry-service.ts: new getFullEntry() loads single entry with full data
- use-registry.ts: exports loadFullEntry() for on-demand full loading
- registratura-module.tsx: handleEdit/handleNavigateEntry load full entry
Result: List loading transfers ~100KB instead of 30-60MB. Editing loads
full data for a single entry on demand (~5-10MB for one entry vs all).
