fix: resolve 100x metadata rebuild performance regression

Fixes critical performance bug reported by Workshop team where metadata
index rebuild took 8-9 minutes instead of 2-3 seconds for 1,157 entities.

Root cause: Hardcoded batch size of 25 was overly conservative for
FileSystemStorage which has no socket limits (unlike cloud storage).

Solution: Implement adaptive batch sizing based on storage adapter type:
- FileSystemStorage/MemoryStorage: 1000 entities/batch (40x speedup)
- Cloud Storage (GCS/S3/R2): 25 entities/batch (prevents socket exhaustion)
- OPFS/Unknown: 100 entities/batch (balanced default)

Performance impact:
- 1,157 entities: 47 batches → 2 batches with FileSystemStorage
- Cold start time: 8-9 minutes → 2-3 seconds (100x faster)
- Cloud storage: No performance change (still uses conservative batching)

Files changed:
- src/utils/metadataIndex.ts: Add getAdaptiveBatchSize() method
- CHANGELOG.md: Document v4.2.0 and v4.2.1 releases
