## Description
Adds a composite index `(account_id, status, created_at)` on
`conversations`.
Sorting an account's conversation list by `created_at` ("newest first")
across all inboxes has no supporting index today, so Postgres falls back
to a backward scan of the global `index_conversations_on_created_at`
filtered by `account_id`. On large databases the planner estimates a
very deep scan and the query can exceed the statement timeout. The
composite index lets the ordered limit be served directly from the
`account_id`/`status` prefix. The default `last_activity_at` sort and
inbox-filtered views are unaffected (already indexed).
The index is created with `algorithm: :concurrently` (no table lock). On
very large installations, create it out-of-band concurrently before
deploying so the migration doesn't run a long build.
