[WIP] Identify and suggest improvements to slow or inefficient code

[Copilot]

• Security: Add field whitelist to businesses/[id]/route.ts PATCH — removed unsafe $set: body and unsafe ObjectId type-cast; now only allows approved, important, verified boolean fields
• Security: Add auth check to persons/[id]/route.ts PUT — full-person edits now require admin authentication
• Security: Reduce JWT token expiry from 30d to 7d in auth.ts
• Security/Sanitize: Add escapeHtml() to sanitize.ts — prevents stored XSS in non-React rendering contexts
• Performance: Fix N+1 in businesses/[id]/reviews/route.ts — replaced findOne + updateOne with a single MongoDB aggregation pipeline update ($concatArrays + $avg)
• Performance: Fix N+1 in locations/[id]/reviews/route.ts — same fix
• Performance: Add database indexes to mongodb.ts — lazy ensureIndexes() creates sparse indexes on id (unique) and approved for all three collections on first DB access
• Performance: Memoize search filters in SearchBar.tsx — useMemo on normalizedQuery, pre-computed lowercase arrays (locationsLower, personsLower), memoized filtered, filteredPersons, and recentPlaces
• Performance: Fix O(n²) deduplication in PlaceDetail.tsx — replaced Array.indexOf with new Set()
