Performance Improvements

While this release doesn't include explicit performance-focused changes, several bug fixes indirectly improve system performance:

The standardization of draft action buttons in the edit-many modal enhances UI consistency and reduces the chance of user error. The addition of Turkish language support for the SEO plugin continues Payload's commitment to internationalization.

For developers, the fixes to REST API relationship queries and PostgreSQL localized field sorting resolve pain points that could affect application functionality and data retrieval.
