Owner decision (#668): when two documents share a meta_date, order them by
title ascending instead of createdAt ascending. title is @Column(nullable=false)
so it is always present, giving a deterministic, human-meaningful total order.
Only the DATE-sort fast path changes; the in-memory SENDER/RECEIVER/RELEVANCE
comparators are untouched.

ORDER BY meta_date <dir> NULLS LAST, title ASC

Tests assert title-asc tiebreaking for same-date rows in BOTH directions, with a
fixture whose title order is the OPPOSITE of insertion (createdAt) order so the
test fails if the tiebreaker reverts to createdAt. The integration test drives
the production resolveSort against real Postgres.
