5d5fcdf07b fix(filer): bound aggregated metadata reads by peer watermarks (#10803)
* fix(filer): watermark-bound aggregated metadata subscription against multi-source merge races

The aggregated metadata subscription (SubscribeMetadata) merges per-filer
sources that become readable at independent paces, but tracks its progress
with a single scalar cursor. Once the cursor passes a timestamp T, anything
a source materializes below T afterwards is silently skipped: a peer
recovering from a stall re-inserts its backlog late (late ring merge), and
a source's flush can land a log file, or a later chunk of the same file,
after a subscriber's disk pass listed the files (late persisted-log
landing). This is the residual documented in #10501.

Bound the subscriber's two read paths by what every source has provably
made visible, each with its own watermark:

- Delivery low-watermark -> in-memory reads. The meta aggregator tracks,
  per subscribed peer (self included), the newest timestamp received on
  that peer's stream - real events, or idle heartbeats (peer streams now
  opt into ClientSupportsIdleHeartbeat). The aggregated ring is complete
  up to the minimum across peers; in-memory reads hold at it.
- Flush low-watermark -> persisted-log reads. Each filer reports its local
  log-buffer flush watermark on its stream: a new flushed_ts_ns response
  field, carried on idle heartbeats and on periodic flush reports (gated
  on ClientSupportsIdleHeartbeat). Disk passes freeze the minimum across
  peers before listing the log files and hold at it; the day-boundary
  cursor jump and the metadata-chunks ref listing are bounded the same
  way, the latter at minute-file granularity.
- Held reads keep the cursor at the last entry actually delivered and
  retry; the retry re-lists the log files, which is what picks up a
  late-landing file. Both watermarks are relaxed by the settled horizon
  (2 x LogFlushInterval) as a liveness escape, so a peer stalled beyond it
  delays subscribers by at most the horizon instead of forever - any loss
  that escape allows was unconditional before.

With reads held at the flush watermark, a disk advance below it is proven
complete on every peer's disk, so the unproven-crossing counter now only
counts crossings the horizon escape allowed past a stalled peer.

Live delivery on the aggregated stream may lag by up to the idle-heartbeat
interval when some peers are quiet; SubscribeLocalMetadata consumers are
unaffected.

* fix(filer): resume evicted aggregated readers from an original-space disk anchor

The aggregated ring rewrites out-of-order peer arrivals to its head, so a
subscriber tailing it advances its cursor in bumped (arrival) timestamps,
while persisted logs keep original timestamps. When a slow reader's unread
window is evicted (e.g. a peer backlog flooding in after a stall) and the
reader falls back to disk, resuming from the bumped cursor skips every
original-space entry below it that memory never delivered - reproduced as
a ~66% silent loss on a 3-filer cluster with one peer's stream frozen for
~70s while the subscriber lagged.

Track a disk anchor: the newest original-space position the stream is
proven complete through. Disk passes advance it directly; contiguous
memory reads advance it to the peers' delivery low-watermark observed
before the read (per-peer streams are ordered, so everything with an
original timestamp at or below that watermark had already arrived and was
delivered). A reader kicked off the ring resumes the disk pass from the
anchor instead of the bumped cursor - redelivering what memory already
sent is within the subscription's at-least-once contract, skipping what
it never sent is not.

* fix(filer): close review findings on the peer-watermark subscription bounds

Four correctness holes found in review, one generated-file cleanup:

- The flush-through claim could assert durability for events still on
  their way into the buffer: an event is timestamped before notification
  work that can block, and only then appended. Track stamped-but-unappended
  events on the Filer (the stamp shares a lock with the reader, and appends
  are bumped monotonically past the buffer head), and cap the reported
  flush watermark just below the oldest in-flight stamp.

- Removing a peer deleted its watermark entries while its stream kept
  running: its next signal recreated the deleted entry, which then pinned
  the low-watermark forever once the stream died. Watermarks now advance
  only for tracked peers, and peer removal cancels the subscription
  context so the stream stops feeding the aggregated buffer promptly.

- The pipelined sender folded flush reports (TsNs 0 reads as far behind)
  into batch Events tails, where the aggregator's nil-notification guard
  dropped them - a busy backlog replay could starve the flush watermark
  until the settled-horizon escape opened a loss window. Control messages
  are now unbatchable on the sender, and the receiver also reads watermark
  state off nested batch entries as belt and braces.

- A give-up skip's cursor was not anchored, so the next eviction rewind
  undid the counted decision and re-entered the same park forever when the
  evicted window carried bumped timestamps. The anchor now follows give-up
  skips; an anchored cursor makes the rewind a no-op and keeps the gap
  machinery's re-arm onto the retained window reachable.

- Regenerated-file churn from a different protoc-gen-go-vtproto version is
  dropped: the vtproto file is upstream's, plus only the flushed_ts_ns
  marshal/size/unmarshal cases in the same generator style.

New tests pin the in-flight floor, the no-resurrection rule for removed
peers, and that control messages are never nested in batches.

* fix(filer): keep a removed peer's watermarks through a grace period

Deleting a peer's watermark entries the moment the master removes it
reopened the loss the watermarks exist to prevent: a filer frozen or
partitioned long enough to miss master heartbeats is removed from the
cluster, its unflushed events still exist, and with its entries gone the
low-watermarks snap forward to the healthy peers - subscribers advance
past the absent peer's window and its late-landing log files are silently
skipped. Reproduced on a 3-filer cluster: freezing two filers for ~70s got
them removed ~28s in, and a catching-up subscriber lost their entire
overlapping window.

Removal now only marks the peer; its watermarks keep participating in the
low-watermarks for a grace period (2 x LogFlushInterval, matching the
subscribe loops' settled horizon, which already bounds a stale watermark's
influence meanwhile). A re-added peer clears the mark and continues its
values monotonically - the flap case costs nothing. A peer that stays gone
is dropped when the grace expires, so a decommission cannot pin the
low-watermarks, and a dropped peer's straggling signals cannot resurrect
its entry.

* fix(filer): cap delivery heartbeats by the in-flight floor; harden stamps

Second review pass on the watermark bounds:

- Idle heartbeats on the local stream claimed delivery-completeness
  through "now" while an event could still sit stamped-but-unappended
  behind blocking notification work. A peer aggregator turns that claim
  into its delivery low-watermark, so it could advance (and anchor
  credits with it) past an event that had not been streamed yet. The
  heartbeat timestamp is now capped just below the oldest in-flight
  stamp, like the flush claim already was.

- In-flight stamps are forced monotonic against the registry's own
  history, so a wall-clock step backwards cannot slip a new stamp under
  an already-sampled floor. The cross-goroutine ordering still shares
  the meta log's global forward-clock assumption; the comments now say
  so instead of overclaiming.

- Duplicate removal notifications no longer refresh a removed peer's
  grace deadline: the first removal time wins, so a decommissioned peer
  cannot sit in the watermark sets forever on repeated updates.

- A failed buffer append clears the event's in-flight stamp on purpose:
  the event is dropped from the change stream entirely (a pre-existing
  defect of the append path, loudly logged), and a watermark waiting for
  it would pin this filer's claims forever. The comments now state the
  decision instead of implying the failure cannot happen.

* docs(filer): tighten the watermark comments

Comment-only: compress the narrative comments added on this branch down
to their load-bearing invariants, and fix one stale sentence (peer
removal no longer deletes the watermark entries immediately). No code
changes.

* fix(filer): subscribe to the local filer before remote peers

Self's events reach the aggregated buffer only through the aggregator's
own subscription to it, but bootstrap only seeded the peers the master
already listed - and self's master registration races that listing, so
the watermark set could hold remote peers without self. Once the remotes
signalled, the low-watermarks would claim completeness for a stream that
was still missing a merge source, letting aggregated subscribers advance
past the local filer's events before its subscription started.

Seed self first, unconditionally: before that the watermark set is empty
(a documented safe state - reads hold at the settled horizon), and after
it the set can never be remotes-only. The later master update for self,
or a duplicate in the listed peers, is a no-op via the already-followed
check in OnPeerUpdate.

* fix(filer): fence watermark claims against wall-clock regression

Record issued heartbeat/flush claims in the in-flight registry and stamp
later events above them, so a backward clock step cannot land an event
under a watermark a peer has already advanced to.

* fix(filer): re-check the buffer head after fencing heartbeat claims

An event appended between the caught-up check and the delivery claim
was covered by the claim but not yet sent on the stream. The claims
fence later stamps, so re-checking the head after them proves every
covered event was already sent before the heartbeat.

* fix(filer): cross the aggregated ring's pre-subscription range only on proof

The eviction gate and the gap proofs read "nothing evicted yet" as "memory
holds everything after the cursor". That is false for the merge-fed
aggregated ring, which is born empty while every peer's history sits on
disk: before the ring's first real eviction, a subscriber whose cursor was
still below the bounded chunk pass's listing stop was served the ring's
earliest entry inclusively, silently skipping the withheld pre-restart
files - and the idle-wait callback credited the delivery low-watermark to
the disk anchor in the same disconnected state.

Mark everything at or below the subscriptions' start as evicted when the
aggregator is built, credit the anchor only once the run is connected to
the ring, and give the aggregated gap pass a real proof to cross the
marked boundary with: each disk pass's proven coverage (the peer flush
low-watermark capped by the pass's listing bound). An empty pass whose
proof reaches the eviction watermark crosses to it silently - no park, no
loss counter - so the mark costs a bounded catch-up delay instead of the
15-minute give-up.

* fix(filer): keep shipped chunk tails at or below the hold point

A log file spans past its named minute (window start plus up to a flush
interval), and chunk-mode clients apply a shipped file whole - so a file
tail past the hold point can become a persisted client checkpoint beyond
what every peer has proven, and a crash inside that window resumes past
another peer's late-but-in-contract flush. Stop the ref listing a minute
plus a flush interval below the hold; the withheld band is served by the
memory pass (ring retention far exceeds it) or by later passes as the
hold advances, so freshness is unchanged. A frozen peer flushing one
window that spans its whole freeze can still overshoot; that residual is
bounded by the freeze and needs a crash inside it.

* docs(filer): trim the review-fix comments
