perf(db): batch node lookups, fix insertNode cache, run maintenance after writes (#108)

Batch getNodesByIds to collapse N+1 reads in graph traversal, invalidate the
insertNode LRU cache so INSERT OR REPLACE doesn't serve a stale row, and run
incremental PRAGMA optimize + passive WAL checkpoint after bulk writes.

Closes #108
