detect cycles in smart collection queries (#2059)

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -44,7 +44,8 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/).
   - Collections synchronized from media servers are still indexed as `tag`
 - Allow searching by `smart_collection` (name)
   - Quotes are *always* required when using this feature
-  - e.g. `smart_collection:"one" NOT smart_collection:"two"`
+    - e.g. `smart_collection:"one" NOT smart_collection:"two"`
+  - Cycles will be detected and logged, and searches with cycles will not work as expected
 
 ### Changed
 - Start to make UI minimally responsive (functional on smaller screens)
