0dd474baab Delta sync: large files move as content-defined chunks (#161)
* feat(sync): delta sync — large files move as content-defined chunks

Files over 4 MiB push as chunks/<sha256> pieces plus a manifests/<sha256>
chunk list keyed by the whole file's hash, so Op.Blob alone locates it and
the journal format is byte-identical. A 1-byte edit to a 20 MiB file now
transfers ~2 MB instead of ~21 MB, both directions; chunk boundaries come
from a rolling hash (restic/chunker), so front insertions stay cheap.

The hub reassembles whole blobs on demand (spool, verify, backfill, serve),
which is the entire backward-compatibility story: old clients ask for
blobs/<sha> and never learn anything changed. Proven by e2e tests that build
the real pre-change binary from the pinned merge-base commit.

The push skip-proof is one Exists per chunk — three cheaper proxies (local
basis, manifest existence, stored manifest content) each proved false or
forgeable across four CTO review rounds and are recorded in the code
comment. Hub-side, manifests are write-once and must name only chunks the
store holds; reassembly is bounded at 256 MiB against amplified manifests.

Also: per-file sync ceiling 32 -> 100 MiB; import refuses archives whose
journals reference content they do not hold (--allow-incomplete overrides).

Deploy hubs before clients: old hubs refuse chunk keys (push degrades to
offline-retry), and old clients cap reads at 32 MiB so 32-100 MiB files
report "blob corrupt on remote" until the client upgrades.

* fix(test): fetch the pinned pre-delta commit on shallow CI clones

buildOldBinary archives the pinned merge-base sha, which a fetch-depth-1
actions/checkout does not have — all three old-binary e2e tests failed in
CI with exit 128 while passing on any full local clone. On archive failure,
fetch just that commit (--depth=1, one object; actions/checkout persists
credentials so the in-job fetch works) and retry. Verified against a real
GitHub shallow clone: archive fails, the single-sha fetch succeeds, archive
then yields the pre-delta tree.
