⚡ Bolt: optimize badge evaluation with O(1) transient query cache

 ## 2026-07-16 - [O(N*M) Nested Loop Lookups in Grading Engines]
 **Learning:** In interactive scenarios (such as Bid Elevator and STR Triage), grading engines frequently iterate over user decisions and match them against scenario properties (like keywords or search terms). Performing `array.find()` inside loop bodies or filter predicates results in costly O(N*M) lookups.
 **Action:** Convert arrays to `Map` lookups before entering loops/nested scans. Mapping keys once in O(M) time enables O(1) lookups during execution, transforming the time complexity of the grading logic to O(N + M).
+
+## 2026-07-17 - [O(R) Database Roundtrips in Multi-Rule Evaluation]
+**Learning:** Evaluators checking multiple rules (such as checkCriteria in the badge engine) can generate redundant database queries for identical user records or resource aggregates when looping over each rule. These can be optimized with a transient local cache (caching query promises rather than resolved values) during the evaluation lifecycle, safely collapsing database roundtrips from O(R) to O(1) where R is the number of rules.
+**Action:** Create a transient `EvaluationCache` to hold and share database query promises across criteria checks during a single `evaluateBadges` call.
