(fix): load collection ID mapping in getDatabasesDB instead of decorator

Move the collection mapping query from inside the Metadata decorator to
the getDatabasesDB resource factory. This avoids decorator-level
database queries that can fail in various contexts and cause cascading
issues.

The mapping is loaded once when getDatabasesDB creates the database
instance, and the results are passed to the Metadata decorator via
setCollectionId(). The decorator itself is now stateless with respect
to database queries.
