restic: raise a failed backup, a failed thinning and a refused retention as the module's health (novox/hq issue 454)
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds restic → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed, each part in its toolchain: merge-check.sh (go), merge-check-typescript.sh (typescript)
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request

A failed night was a journal line only, so a typo in a retention setting
let the repository grow until a disk filled. The night and the measuring
now run as processes the node-engine judges: the night by backup_health,
which is unhealthy for a module not backed up, a night that did not run,
a failed thinning or a missing retention file, and waits naming the
setting when one is refused; the measuring by its unit. A file lock
keeps a night and the tool runtime's now and restore apart.

The retention file is root's alone, so the account reads it through sudo:
until now every night would have refused it as unreadable. Every machine
has the file, so a missing one is refused instead of thinned by 14/8/6.
backed-up says the retention in force and the last thinning per module.
