Database CPU utilization was spiking due to expensive notification COUNT
queries. Analysis revealed two critical issues:
1. Missing database index: Notification count queries were performing
table scans without proper indexing
2. Duplicate WHERE clauses: SQL queries contained redundant read_at IS
NULL conditions, causing unnecessary query complexity
### Root Cause Analysis
The expensive queries were:
```
-- 41.61 calls/sec with duplicate condition
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM "notifications"
WHERE "notifications"."user_id" = $1
AND "notifications"."account_id" = $2
AND "notifications"."snoozed_until" IS NULL
AND "notifications"."read_at" IS NULL
AND "notifications"."read_at" IS NULL -- Duplicate!
```
This was caused by a logic error in NotificationFinder#unread_count
