- Introduced generic `list` and `count` methods to BaseDAO for consistent querying and counting across all DAOs.
- Both methods support filtering (including IN queries), ordering, pagination, search across columns, custom FAB-style filters, and always-on base filters.
- Added comprehensive unit tests for `list` and `count` in `tests/unit_tests/dao/base_test.py`, covering:
- Filtering (including boolean, None, and IN queries)
- Ordering (asc/desc, multiple columns)
- Pagination (including out-of-range)
- Search across columns
- Custom filter logic
- Always-on base filter logic
- Edge cases and skip_base_filter
- Moved common test fixtures to `conftest.py` for reuse.
