release: v1.5.4 - Critical update resolving Supabase storage/egress limits

- Stripped character lists, recommendations, voice actors, and descriptions from saved anime metadata
- Reduced database row and payload sizes by ~99% (from 100KB to 0.3KB)
- Automatically minimizes existing local watchlists and favorites cache on startup
- Runs server database cleanup: detects unminimized cloud rows and overwrites them on sync
- Configured mandatory force-update to ensure users update immediately
