Read a shrink against the item's own path, so a moved directory starts its size history again (hq issue 368)
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds build-agent, mesh-controller → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without …
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request

A reading now keeps the path it was measured at, and the peak is read only from
readings at the item's path now. Before, an agent's home that moved to its own
account was compared with the operator's home it left, and data-shrank was
raised for data that was never lost. Existing readings take their item's path
now, so a shrink that is real stays raised.
