**GET** `/api/oauth2/v2/identity?include=memberships.currently_entitled_tiers` returns `504 Gateway`

Timeout for users with many memberships. The timeout happens server-side (~10s) regardless of pagination (page[count]=10), field selection, or other includes combined with it.

`memberships.campaign.tiers` fails the same way.

Reproduction (requires identity identity.memberships token for a user with about 400+ memberships):

```javascript
// Requires: access token with "identity identity.memberships" scope
const TOKEN = process.env.PATREON_ACCESS_TOKEN;
const BASE = "https://www.patreon.com/api/oauth2/v2";

async function call(label, url) {
  const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${TOKEN}` } });
  console.log(`[${label}] -> ${res.status}`);
}

// Works
await call("memberships only",
  `${BASE}/identity?include=memberships&fields%5Bmember%5D=patron_status`);

// 504 - adding currently_entitled_tiers
await call("memberships + currently_entitled_tiers",
  `${BASE}/identity?include=memberships,memberships.currently_entitled_tiers`);

// 504 - same as WP plugin's fetch_user() pattern
await call("WP plugin exact pattern",
  `${BASE}/identity?include=memberships.currently_entitled_tiers,memberships.campaign` +
  `&fields%5Bmember%5D=currently_entitled_amount_cents,patron_status,pledge_relationship_start`
);

```

@del1an and @isaaclopinho - the issue should be resolved now. Can you please confirm that you aren’t seeing it anymore?
