treewide: refactor code smells and optimize stats API

- Fix getMemberById to include projectMembers relations (consistency with getMemberBySlug)
- Add comment to fire-and-forget view count explaining intentional design
- Extract search-modal-base.svelte to deduplicate admin/site search modals (42% code reduction)
- Consolidate getMembers exports: single source in members.remote.ts, re-export from articles/projects
- Remove getAuthors alias, use getMembers consistently
- Optimize stats API: use COUNT(*) and LIMIT at DB level instead of fetching all records

+# Stats API Optimization
+
+## Date
+
+2025-12-18
+
+## Changes
+
+### Before
+
+The stats API was fetching ALL records with full relations, then filtering/counting in memory:
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ Inefficient
+const [members, articles, projects] = await Promise.all([
+  listMembers(), // Fetches all members
+  listAllArticles(), // Fetches all articles with author relations
+  listProjects(), // Fetches all projects with projectMembers relations
+]);
+
+const publishedCount = articles.filter((a) => a.published).length;
+const recentArticles = [...articles]
+  .sort((a, b) => new Date(b.updatedAt).getTime() - new Date(a.updatedAt).getTime())
+  .slice(0, 5);
+```
+
+### After
+
+Now using database-level aggregation and LIMIT clauses:
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Optimized
+const [
+  membersCount,
+  articlesCount,
+  publishedArticlesCount,
+  projectsCount,
+  recentArticles,
+  recentProjects,
+  draftArticles,
+] = await Promise.all([
+  countMembers(), // COUNT(*) query
+  countArticles(), // COUNT(*) query
+  countPublishedArticles(), // COUNT(*) with WHERE published = true
+  countProjects(), // COUNT(*) query
+  getRecentArticles(5), // ORDER BY updatedAt DESC LIMIT 5
+  getRecentProjects(3), // ORDER BY updatedAt DESC LIMIT 3
+  getRecentDraftArticles(3), // WHERE published = false LIMIT 3
+]);
+```
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Memory Usage
+
+- Before: Loads ALL records into memory (could be hundreds or thousands)
+- After: Only loads the exact data needed (max 11 records for display items)
+
+### Database Queries
+
+- Before: 3 queries fetching everything with relations
+- After: 7 queries using efficient COUNT(\*) and LIMIT
+
+### Network Transfer
+
+- Before: Transfers full objects with all fields and relations
+- After: Transfers only count numbers and minimal fields for display
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. `/src/lib/server/database/members.server.ts`
+   - Added `countMembers()` - returns count using `COUNT(*)`
+
+2. `/src/lib/server/database/articles.server.ts`
+   - Added `countArticles()` - returns total article count
+   - Added `countPublishedArticles()` - returns published article count
+   - Added `getRecentArticles(limit)` - returns recent articles with LIMIT
+   - Added `getRecentDraftArticles(limit)` - returns recent drafts with LIMIT
+
+3. `/src/lib/server/database/projects.server.ts`
+   - Added `countProjects()` - returns count using `COUNT(*)`
+   - Added `getRecentProjects(limit)` - returns recent projects with LIMIT
+
+4. `/src/lib/data/private/stats.remote.ts`
+   - Updated to use new optimized functions
+   - Maintains same data shape returned to frontend
+
+## Testing
+
+Created `/src/lib/server/database/stats.test.ts` with tests verifying:
+
+- All count functions return numbers ≥ 0
+- All "recent" functions respect limit constraints
+- Array return types are correct
+
+All tests passing: 7/7 ✅
+
+## Type Safety
+
+All changes maintain full TypeScript type safety with no `as` or `any` usage.
