jschoubben 7211227c76 restic: let a restore point taken by hand go only after a night recorded good, say a missing hand= as a file to push, and say what a failed thinning already let go (novox/hq issue 453)
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)

jschoubben 879bc4bca2 restic: keep a backup taken by hand past the next thinning, until a later night and keep-hand-taken-days, so the restore point taken against a risky change is still there when it is needed (novox/hq issue 453)

A hung night, a lock held for hours or a lock that cannot be taken left no
failed night behind, so it stayed healthy. The night's process now counts
how long the machine was up since its newest good night, by the monotonic
clock so a sleeping laptop is not blamed, and past 26 hours it is raised.

The retention file is written 0644 and root's instead of read through
sudo: the account reads it and still cannot change it. An unreadable file
names its cause, and the healthy answer says only what was seen.

jschoubben d649309895 restic: raise a failed backup, a failed thinning and a refused retention as the module's health (novox/hq issue 454)

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.

jschoubben 39d5b25f95 restic: take the retention from the machine's settings, so a disk can keep more or fewer restore points without a new build (novox/hq issue 416)

The keep-daily, keep-weekly and keep-monthly preferences default to
today's 14, 8 and 6. The night reads them from a file in its state and
refuses anything but a count from 1 to 9999: it then thins nothing and
says which setting is wrong, never handing a raw value to restic.
