hq issue 241: on 2026-10-04 one unreadable read of the contributions file made the postgres provider drop every database on the control node. readContributions now returns null for unreadable / not JSON / wrong requirement / no given list; such a pass applies and removes nothing and says why once. Only a read file with a given list withdraws. Every removal is logged before it is made. New test fails on the old harness and passes here; 21/21.

A provisioner removes nothing while its contributions file cannot be used 2865d53991

An unreadable, unparsable or unrecognised contributions file was read as "no consumer asks", and the
reconcile pass then removed every consumer it had applied. On 2026-10-04 one such read made the
postgres provider drop every database on the control node. Such a pass now applies and removes
nothing and says why, once; only a file read with a given list withdraws a consumer, and every
removal is logged before it is made.
