Four round-8 findings, all in round-7 code.
A full-sweep request raised while a sweep was running was erased by the sweep it
arrived during. The flag stayed set across the await and was cleared on the way
out, so widening the history window or calling reconcile({ full: true }) part
way through a backfill left status reading `current` with the widened-in
transcripts never read. The pass takes the flag on entry now; an unfinished
sweep is what puts it back.
clear() followed by close() left the database on disk. The removal was queued on
the work loop, close() makes queued tasks no-ops, and clear()'s promise resolved
anyway -- a privacy action that reports success without doing anything. The
store, its consumer registration and its file on disk now have one owner and one
lifetime, and closing performs a removal that is still owed.
The backfill drain bounded bytes but not wall time. The pacer backs off 15
seconds a batch on a loaded host, so a pass could hold the loop for a quarter of
an hour without going near its byte budget, and since the drain runs inside the
reconcile cycle that is the recent-N-per-interval promise gone. Every read pass
now stops at one interval and hands the rest back.
A row whose path names an entry inside a container rather than a file of its own
was proven only against the container, so an entry deleted inside it could never
be retired. Such a row is now proven by the container's own enumeration, under
the same bar a directory listing has to meet: exhaustive, successful, and not
empty. Nothing in this PR can hold such a row yet -- the index pass refuses a
source whose messages the channel cannot reach, which is every OpenCode SQLite
session -- so this is the guard for the day that changes, and a test pins the
precondition.
Also: status() reports `idle` before start() rather than describing work no
timer was going to do, and reconcile() before start() is refused rather than
writing the index once and leaving it to go stale.
