⚡ Bolt: Optimize articles API payload

[mkk2026]

⚡ Bolt Optimization

What:
Modified the GET /api/articles endpoint to use Prisma's select instead of include.

Why:
The previous implementation fetched all fields of SecurityArticle (including the potentially large content field) and all fields of Cve. The frontend list view does not display the article content or the CVE description, making this data transfer wasteful.

Impact:

• Reduces the JSON payload size significantly for each request.
• Reduces database I/O and memory usage by not retrieving large text blocks.
• Faster response times for the articles list.

Verification:

• Verified that all fields used by the frontend (id, url, title, summary, etc.) are still returned.
• Verified that content and contentHash are no longer returned.
• Verified using a custom script against the SQLite database.
• Lint checks passed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds documentation on Prisma query optimization for over-fetching and implements explicit field-level selection in the articles API endpoint. The articles endpoint now uses defined select projections instead of relation-based inclusion to return only necessary fields, reducing payload size.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Documentation .jules/bolt.md	Added subsection documenting Prisma over-fetching issue and recommending explicit field selection, particularly for avoiding Large Object (LOB) columns.
API Optimization src/app/api/articles/route.ts	Replaced relation-based cves inclusion with explicit select on article fields (id, url, title, summary, source, sourceName, publishedAt, scrapedAt, severityScore, severityLevel) and nested cves fields (id, cveId, cvssScore, severity, affectedSoftware) to reduce payload size.

Poem

🐰 A rabbit hops through fields of data wide,
Selecting only treasures, casting bloat aside,
No over-fetched objects cluttering the way,
Just the essentials shipped—hooray, hooray! ✨
