docs(server): updated_at has decided nothing since protocol 2
The schema's comment still called it the field last-write-wins compares.
A write is decided by change_seq alone; updated_at is for display.

-- Hankan sync schema.
--
-- Mirrors the client's syncable tables, plus the two columns the client does
-- not have: change_seq, which the server assigns and clients use as a
-- cursor, and user_id, which is one value today but keeps a second device or
-- person from being a migration.
--
-- Rows are stored generically: the primary key as text, the row body as
-- JSONB. The alternative — six typed tables kept in lockstep with the
-- client's migrations — buys nothing here, because the server never reads
-- inside a row. It stores and orders them; the client interprets them.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS sync_row (
user_id TEXT NOT NULL,
tbl TEXT NOT NULL,
pk TEXT NOT NULL,
data JSONB NOT NULL,
-- The client's wall clock, when the row was last edited. Kept for display
-- only: since protocol 2 (002-protocol-2.sql) nothing compares it — a
-- write is decided by change_seq alone.
updated_at BIGINT NOT NULL,
-- A delete. Kept as a row so it can be handed to a device that was
-- offline when it happened.
deleted BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE,
-- Server-assigned and monotonic. The cursor a client pages from.
change_seq BIGSERIAL NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (user_id, tbl, pk)
);
-- The pull query is exactly this: everything newer than the client's cursor,
-- in assignment order.
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS sync_row_cursor ON sync_row (user_id, change_seq);
-- change_seq must advance on every update, or a row edited after a client
-- last pulled would sit below that client's cursor and never be delivered.
-- Doing it in a trigger means no write path can forget.
