MechaCat02 e52b2f1cd1 fix(upload): reclaim the bytes of uploads that never finish
Reclaim was a dozen explicit remove_file calls on the handler's return paths.
That covers every way the handler can FINISH and none of the ways it can simply
STOP. When a client disconnects mid-body — a phone leaving wifi, iOS killing a
backgrounded PWA, the user hitting back — axum drops the handler future at an
.await inside field.chunk() and no return path runs at all. The partial file then
survives forever: it has no upload row, so cleanup_deleted_media (row-driven)
can never see it, and no sweeper covered the originals directory. The triggers
are routine rather than adversarial, and the client keeps the blob and auto-
retries on every `online` event, so one large video over bad wifi leaves several
copies.

Those bytes are also invisible to the quota while still consuming the free disk
that compute_storage_quota divides among guests — so orphans silently shrink
every guest's ceiling while the admin widget under-reports. All three volumes
share one filesystem; the end state is Postgres unable to write WAL.

TempFileGuard is an RAII guard, because dropping the future is exactly what runs
Drop — it is the only construct that survives cancellation. Armed before the file
can exist, disarmed only after tx.commit() succeeds. The twelve explicit cleanups
are deleted so one owner holds the rule.

The subtler half is the rename. It happens BEFORE the commit, so between them the
file exists under its final name with no row pointing at it — an orphan that
looks legitimate. The guard is RETARGETED there rather than disarmed, and the
retarget sits on the same poll as the rename with no .await between, which is
what makes that window uncancellable.

sweep_orphan_originals is the backstop for the process that was killed, where no
Drop can run at all. Hourly, alongside the existing sweeps: .tmp files past the
window go unconditionally (a .tmp never has a row by construction), other files
are batched 500 at a time through a single NOT EXISTS query.

Two things that look like oversights and are not, both commented in place:
- the 6h window is what makes the sweep safe against the rename-before-commit
  ordering, since a committing upload is briefly indistinguishable from an
  orphan. It must not be shortened to speed up a test.
- the NOT EXISTS deliberately does NOT filter deleted_at IS NULL. A soft-deleted
  row still points at its file during its retention window, and reclaiming that
  is cleanup_deleted_media's job; filtering here would race the two sweeps and
  destroy the files the recovery window exists to preserve.

Verified against the real schema: given a live original, a soft-deleted one and a
true orphan, the query returns only the orphan.

//! Startup recovery + periodic background hygiene.
//!
//! Two responsibilities:
//!
//! 1. **Startup sweep** — when the server boots, fix rows left in an "in-progress"
//! state by the previous (possibly crashed) instance. Compression and export jobs
//! each leave a status row when they begin; if the process is killed mid-run, that
//! row stays `'processing'` / `'running'` forever, blocking re-tries and leaving
//! users staring at a spinner. Resetting them on startup recovers gracefully.
//!
//! 2. **Periodic tasks** — pruning that should happen "every hour" rather than per
//! request: expired sessions (otherwise the table grows unboundedly), the
//! rate-limiter's in-memory windows (so keys for IPs that left long ago don't
//! accumulate), and the media of soft-deleted uploads — both the ones whose compression
//! permanently failed and the ones a guest or host deliberately removed — which are
//! retained for a recovery window and then reclaimed.
