💡 What:
Optimized the parseAppInfo function in server/api/apps.ts by replacing .split('=') and array destructuring/joining with .indexOf('=') and .substring().

🎯 Why:
The previous implementation created multiple intermediate arrays for every line parsed from the appinfo.spixi configuration file. When processing a large number of mini apps, especially when falling back to the REST API where N fetches are performed, these temporary allocations create unnecessary memory churn and Garbage Collection (GC) pressure.

📊 Impact:
Reduces object/array allocations per line from ~3 (split array, rest values array, joined string array) to 0. It avoids the overhead of .split() and .join() entirely, directly extracting the key and value. This provides a marginal but steady CPU and memory improvement during the backend metadata parsing phase.

🔬 Measurement:
Verified by running pnpm build to ensure the logic remained functionally identical and the application continues to build and serve the API correctly.

Optimize the `parseAppInfo` function in `server/api/apps.ts` to use `.indexOf('=')` and `.substring()` instead of `.split('=')` and `.join('=')`. This reduces unnecessary array allocations and garbage collection pressure when parsing the `appinfo.spixi` files.
