# Pull Request Template
## Summary
- Adds `perform_meta_only` method to `ConversationFinder` that runs
setup and counts without loading the paginated conversation list
- Updates `/api/v1/conversations/meta` to use `perform_meta_only`
instead of `perform`
## Problem
The `/meta` endpoint calls `ConversationFinder#perform` which:
1. Runs all filters and setup (`set_up`)
2. Computes 3 COUNT queries (`set_count_for_all_conversations`)
3. Filters by assignee type
4. **Builds the full paginated conversation list** with
`.includes(:taggings, :inbox, {assignee: {avatar_attachment: [:blob]}},
{contact: {avatar_attachment: [:blob]}}, :team, :contact_inbox)` +
sorting + pagination
The controller then **discards the conversations** and only uses the
counts:
```ruby
def meta
result = conversation_finder.perform
@conversations_count = result[:count] # conversations thrown away
end
```
## Type of change
- [x] Performance fix
## How Has This Been Tested?
- [ ] Verify /meta returns correct mine/unassigned/assigned/all counts
- [ ] Verify counts update when switching inbox, team, or status filters
- [ ] Verify conversation list still loads correctly (uses perform, not
affected)
- [ ] Monitor response time reduction for /meta in NewRelic after deploy
