A worker of the wrong type on a history-keeping stream is re-made to deliver from now on, never from the start (hq issue 207)

Left for a hand, the hand re-made it with the server's default — everything the stream holds — and
on 2026-10-03 that replayed every build ask since 1 October into the catalogue. Re-made with
deliver-new instead: nothing acknowledged comes back; what was in flight is said and asked again.
