feat(storage): append and compact v4 ordinal identity runs

[DecisionNerd]

Closes #968

Summary

• admit generation-ordered, independently UUID-sorted immutable forward runs with bounded cross-run duplicate validation
• publish v4 append/delete deltas atomically with v3 and topology generation authority
• compact equal-width history by bounded binary carry while preserving packed sparse ordinal ranges and monotonic tombstones
• retain authenticated file capabilities for update planning and reject UUID/surrogate reuse before staging
• recover project-owned planner scratch and v4 orphan cleanup across deterministic crash boundaries
• report exact aggregate physical I/O, fsync, buffer, temporary-space, compaction, and orphan work evidence
• document append, compaction, standalone authority, recovery, stale-handle, and cleanup semantics

Validation

• cargo test -p graphforge-storage --lib --no-fail-fast: 897 passed, 2 ignored
• parallel focused v4 suite: 8 passed
• ordinal v4 suite: 22 passed
• 11-scenario subprocess recovery matrix, including both authenticated orphan-cleanup unlink boundaries
• cargo clippy -p graphforge-storage --lib -- -D warnings
• cargo fmt --all -- --check
• python3 scripts/ci/test-non-cypher-surface-gate.py: 12 passed
• make pre-push-fast

Evidence

The 1x/2x/4x/8x ladder uses proportional cardinalities and separately accounts data and control bytes. Normal append writes only delta-sized runs; deterministic binary-carry generations stream only participating levels. Prior topology rows decoded remains zero, per-record seeks remain zero, buffers are bounded, and continued history does not create graph-sized resident state.

Walkthrough

The change adds bounded and identity-checked filesystem operations. It updates v4 artifact admission for generation-ordered runs, adds incremental append, deletion, compaction, recovery, and cleanup, and records v4 publication metrics in topology commits.

Changes

V4 ordinal publication

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Bounded filesystem and identity-checked cleanup crates/graphforge-filesystem/src/lib.rs	StableDirectory bounds child enumeration and removes child directories only when identities match. Unix and Windows implementations enforce these checks. Unsupported platforms preserve existing errors.
Generation-ordered artifact admission crates/graphforge-storage/src/ordinal_identity_v4.rs	Admission validates generation order, per-run UUID ordering, cross-run uniqueness, and bounded run counts. Handles expose pinned manifests and artifact files for updates.
Incremental v4 planning and durable publication crates/graphforge-storage/src/uuid_membership.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/staging.rs	Topology rewrites prepare authenticated v4 deltas, reject invalid reuse and tombstones, stream projections, compact runs, stage receipts and manifests, reconcile publication outcomes, and recover orphaned plans.
Topology commit metric propagation crates/graphforge-storage/src/writer.rs	Commit results carry optional v4 metrics. Writer metrics include v4 input records, validation reads, physical writes, buffering, and seeks.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to de2ba

The PR’s cleanup path can fail on Windows when retained directory handles prevent orphan removal, leaving stale storage artifacts; its V4 I/O metrics may also report different units under the same fields. Merge should wait for the handle-lifetime fix and explicit correction or acceptance of the metric reporting risk.

- Around line 945-961: Update stable_remove_child_directory_if_identity and its
cleanup caller so all retained child directory handles are explicitly dropped
after identity validation and before std::fs::remove_dir(child), including the
helper-local retained handle and the caller’s directory capability. Preserve the
existing identity checks and removal behavior.

In `@crates/graphforge-storage/src/writer.rs`:
- Around line 3005-3011: The V4 metric aggregation around the UUID topology work
must preserve distinct units: update uuid_write_bytes using the
output-bytes-submitted metric rather than physical_bytes_written, and update
uuid_validation_blocks using block counts rather than sequential_read_calls.
Apply the same unit-correct aggregation to the additional metrics at the
referenced nearby section, using matching metric fields and preserving the
existing saturating accumulation behavior.
