<p>This fixes an issue where there was a VERY large number of vendors in a system (260k + !!!), which resulted in a database error:

<blockquote>
<p>This fixes the search for data inconsistencies script (misc/maintenance/search_for_data_inconsistencies.pl) so that it now runs significantly faster - it replaces OR with IN for subqueries.</p>
<p>Technical details:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Queries that use OR instead of IN are less efficient and can lead to situations where the query takes a very long time to complete due to row level scanning. Example: We found one instance where they query had been running for over 10 days!</p></li>
<li><p>This fix makes ids() return a subquery instead of a list of results, and switches the callers to using IN. The database now resolves the set itself and the queries stay a constant size no matter how large the catalog is. This is super efficient because the subquery doesn't even execute as a separate query since biblionumber is the primary key!</li>

<blockquote>
<p>This fixes two issues when transferring an item that could fill a pending hold to a library that is not the holds pickup library:</p>
<ol>
<li>Koha only gives you an option to transfer the item to the pickup library. When this option is chosen, Koha says that item is being transferred to the selected library, not to the pickup library. Then it fails to create the transfer.</li>
<li>Adds a new option ("Ignore hold and transfer to [Library name]") to ignore the hold and transfer the item to the library selected in the transfer tool.</li>

<p>This fixes the information shown in the overdues report patron column (Circulation > Overdues > Overdues). The bibliographic record title was shown before the patron's name, instead of the patron's title (salutation).</p>

<blockquote>
<p>The Elasticsearch indexer daemon (es_indexer_daemon.pl) was silently marking background indexing jobs as "finished" even when Elasticsearch was unreachable, causing records to disappear from search results with no indication of failure. Additionally, after a brief ES outage (e.g. a Docker restart), the daemon's connection pool would mark the node as dead with exponential backoff, leaving it permanently stuck until manually restarted. The daemon now resets jobs to "new" on NoNodes errors so they are automatically retried once connectivity is restored, recreates the ES client to reset the connection pool, and correctly marks jobs as "failed" for other indexing errors.</li>
