Frank a5a9c04da2 feat(media): the verdict splits what the database alone cannot
"No row at the destination" was one number, and it conflated three different
things: a sidecar the server never indexes, a file a later pass renamed again,
and a file that never left its source — the last one being actual damage. The
runbook already named the four classes; the tool never computed them, so an
operator reading `missing from the DB: 1851` had no way to tell a booklet.pdf
from a lost album and might have run a rollback over a false alarm.

`missing` rows are now stat'd on both paths and reported as
`on disk at dst, no row names it` / `REAL — file still at src` /
`gone — at neither path`, with offenders listed in that order. A row still
naming `src` stays a separate line: that is the server's own stale pointer, a
phantom, and it costs a re-scan rather than a restore.

Two new tests (REAL, and gone-vs-sidecar) plus two existing layout assertions
loosened from line positions to content. 14/14 in tests/media_verify.bats.

"""Prove a relayout landed, using the media server's own tables.
A scan answers `204` whether or not it found anything, and a rename that the
scanner has not followed looks exactly like a rename that never happened from
the outside. The only honest proof is the run's journal replayed against the
database the server actually serves from: every `move` row must have a row at
its destination, and NO row may still name its source — a source row is a scan
that has not caught up, and it is the one signature of a library pointing at
files that no longer exist.
Two doors, both read-only, both without a lock while the server runs (there is
no `sqlite3` binary on these hosts). Open `mode=ro` PLAIN: both servers keep
their libraries in WAL mode, and `immutable=1` — which claims the file never
changes — makes sqlite skip the write-ahead log entirely, so every row the
server has committed but not yet checkpointed reads as MISSING, and a read
beside a running scanner can even fail as "database disk image is malformed".
`immutable=1` is only the fallback, for a database whose `-shm` cannot be read.
jellyfin `BaseItems.Path`. The container binds the share at `/data`, so the
database holds `/data/<library>/…` where the journal holds
`/mnt/entropy/<library>/…`. Translate, or every row reads as missing.
plex `media_parts.file`, joined up to `metadata_items`. Plex is bound at
the host path, so its rows match the journal verbatim. Filter
`deleted_at is null` on BOTH tables — a deleted scan leaves its parts
behind, and one of those rows is not proof anything landed.
Neither server holds a row for everything the journal renames: a `.log`, `.cue`
or cover image has no row to land in, so its absence is not a fault. The report
therefore breaks the missing rows down by extension, and `--ignore-ext` names the
extensions this server does not index, which are then counted separately and kept
out of the verdict. What is left is split by what the filesystem says, because
the database alone cannot: a file still at its `src` is `REAL` (this pass's own
damage), a file at neither path is `gone` (a later pass or the server renamed it),
and a file sitting at its `dst` with no row naming it is simply something the
server does not index. A row that still names `src` is none of these: it is the
server's own stale pointer — a phantom — and it costs a re-scan, never a restore.
Exit codes: 0 every move landed; 1 something is stale or missing (the details are
printed); 2 the journal or the database is not usable at all.
