A shard copy installs shards + .ecx before .vif, so an interrupted copy after a
teardown could mount the new files under the previous run's identity / version /
shard ratio / dat_file_size carried by the surviving .vif. Remove .vif during
full teardown, gated on .idx absence so a source-volume holder keeps its live
.vif. In Rust this lives in a teardown-only helper so the reconcile / load-
fallback paths (which share the base removal) still preserve .vif.
