- Reuse a single SQLite connection instead of open/close per query
- Add in-memory cache for frequently accessed data (brands, models,
categories) — 1000x faster on repeated access
- Enable WAL journal mode, 8MB cache, 64MB mmap for faster reads
- Cache terminal size per render cycle to avoid repeated getmaxyx()
- Close DB connection on app exit

Models and engines tables have many duplicate names (e.g. 24 ASTRA rows,
210 F-150 rows, 398 "5.7L 350CID V8" rows). Changed get_models() and
get_engines() to use GROUP BY UPPER(name) instead of DISTINCT on id+name
so each model/engine appears only once in the navigation lists.
