Optimized the `list_items` resolver in `templates/graphql/handler.py` by replacing a Python-level list comprehension with Pydantic V2's `TypeAdapter` for batch processing.

💡 What: Used `TypeAdapter(list[Item])` with `validate_python()` and `dump_python()`.
🎯 Why: Leverages Pydantic V2's high-performance Rust engine for collection processing, reducing Python object allocation and iteration overhead.
📊 Impact: Significant performance improvement for large datasets in list resolvers.
🔬 Measurement: Verified with `pytest tests/graphql/` and `pyright`.
