This continues the work in #3349. It cuts the work that qui does on each sync tick when the torrent list did not change.
A sync that changes only the server state (speeds, free disk space, alternative speed mode) sends a delta with the new serverState and the rows and counts of the last frame. qui does not rebuild the view. A cross-instance view carries no server state, so it rebuilds as before. If the last rebuild failed, the next server-state tick rebuilds the view. If a rebuild is already queued for the view, the rebuild stays queued. A change of the subcategory mode still rebuilds, because it changes the category counts.
The cached sidebar counts stay valid through a server-state-only sync. countsGen now moves only when torrents, categories, tags, or trackers change.
A new stream option, summary, returns the totals, stats, counts, and server state of a view, but no rows, and does not sort. The title bar speeds, the active task count, and the Dashboard use it. A cross-instance stream rejects it.
cachedCountsForRequest and calculateCountsFromTorrentsWithTrackers lose the tracker map parameter and the two return values that no caller reads after #3349.
In a server-state frame, cacheMetadata is built from the time of its sync. activeTaskCount is read again for each frame from its 10-second cache. instanceMeta is built again for each frame, because the connection status is part of the server state. The init frame of a stream now includes the counts, because the next tick can be minutes away when nothing changes.

How has this been tested?
Rig: qBittorrent 5.2.4 with 50,000 torrents and DHT off, behind a request-logging proxy, with a fake tracker on 127.0.0.1. For each binary, qui started fresh with one SSE connection and two streams: the torrent table (limit 300) and the small stream (limit 1 on develop and #3349, summary on this PR). After a 150-second boot, the script ran three 120-second windows:
Idle: no change.
Server state: a call to transfer/toggleSpeedLimitsMode every 2 seconds, which changes only the server state.
Active: a change of the upload limit of 1,000 torrents every 2 seconds.
On this PR, the server-state window sent 52 frames for 56 sync ticks, and the idle window sent only heartbeats. The qui logs have no errors. Each stream gap over 4 seconds is an idle stretch with heartbeats only.
Performance
qui CPU per sync/maindata tick, from /proc CPU time over each window divided by the sync requests in the window. Revisions: develop 838dd5c3, #3349 cd5b85db, this PR 91d794a6. The measured binary of this PR was built before two changes with no effect on behavior: a method moved in client.go, and a one-line rewrite of SummaryRequested.

Requests to qBittorrent per window are the same as on #3349: only sync/maindata (54 to 58) and no torrents/info. Develop also sent 2 whole-library torrents/info requests per window.
Conclusion: a server-state-only tick costs 87% less CPU than on #3349. The active window ran once per binary, so its 15% drop can be noise. The server-state path adds one instance lookup per frame, which the rebuild path already did.

📝 Walkthrough
The stream API now supports summary subscriptions that return totals and statistics without torrent rows. The SSE manager can emit server-state-only deltas for single-instance groups. Sync handling advances the counts generation only when changes extend beyond server state. Count calculation and caching use a counts-only return value, and frontend stream requests and API documentation include the summary option.
Priority: ➖ Normal
Severity of issue fixed: Medium
Merge Risk:🟡 Moderate · up to ef85d
Speed updates can lag repeatedly when the task-count request stalls. Decouple that refresh from frame publication before merging unless the delay is explicitly accepted.

- Around line 137-151: Update the server-state-only path in
buildServerStatePayload to accept the current materialized active-task count,
assign it to snapshot.ActiveTaskCount after copying the baseline, and publish
that refreshed value in the delta. Update its callers to pass the current count
while preserving existing ServerState and InstanceMeta updates.

- Around line 1461-1469: Update writeInitToSession’s initial StreamMeta
construction to set IncludeCounts to true, ensuring the first summary frame
includes torrent counts while preserving the existing InstanceID, FullUpdate,
and Timestamp values.

- Line 1387: Update processGroup around buildServerStatePayload so publishing
server-state deltas uses the retained task count immediately instead of waiting
for GetActiveTaskCount. Run the task-count refresh separately with a bounded
deadline and update the retained value when it completes, while preserving
existing synchronization behavior.
