jschoubben 5dc3a8e17f Keep what an archive unpacked in the engine's own state directory, never beside the archive, and stop no slower than the host waits (issue 1585, review round 1)
mesh/delivery merged: source.main moved to novox/mesh-host@998d8f737008
mesh/check being carried to 5dc3a8e17f97 on 998d8f737008 | from fabfdf04f78a
The journal of an unpack sat at <target>.unpacked.json, in a directory
the module's account may write: a forged one would make the root engine
remove or adopt any path it named. It now lives under
<statedir>/unpacked/<sha256 of the target>.json, mode 0600, names its
target, and is refused whole when an entry is not filepath.IsLocal or a
parent is not above the target. It goes when the archive is taken off,
whether its state record still said what it unpacked or not.

The launcher's stop grace for a host on trial rises from 20 s to 75 s and
the unit's TimeoutStopSec is 120 s (openrc the same), past the host's own
60 s wait for the apply in flight, so neither cuts a save off again.

Tests folded as rows into existing ones (the repository is over its unit
budget): the journal's rows, a forged entry and parent refused, the
journal gone with a record that lost its Unpacked; the test that passed
on main dropped; the stop test waits on its own line, not a sleep, and no
longer consumes the save it waits for.

jschoubben 84a14b08d5 Write down what an archive unpacked as soon as it is unpacked, so a lost record never makes the host's own files foreign (issue 1585)

jochen 8470dbd8e8 An archive can be undeclared, and undeclaring one no longer stops the apply (hq issue 162)
An archive had no removal, so an unassigned one failed as an orphan and
aborted every apply after: a module with tools could not be unassigned,
and a race between two pushes froze a machine against every change.

The record now keeps what an archive unpacked: its files, the
directories the host made inside its path, whether the host made the
path itself, and the parents it made to reach it. Removal takes exactly
that away, directories only once empty, never one that was there
before; a directory that is the host's alone is renamed aside first so a
reader sees the whole bundle or none of it. Whatever cannot be removed
is said and forgotten, never fatal.

A directory found before the archive is no longer swapped away with
what was in it: the archive is moved in file by file, and one that would
write over a file the mesh did not put there is refused before anything
moves. A record from before this change learns its files from the
archive's bytes on the next apply; one already orphaned is left in
place, said and forgotten. A former target is still left in place: the
version before is what a rollback starts (ADR 0141).
