Finishes #1283. RED test `TestServerSourceHasNoCachedRWCalls` goes from
failing (13 writer call-sites) to GREEN (zero). Per #1287 Option 4
(https://github.com/Kpa-clawbot/CoreScope/issues/1287#issuecomment-4485099992):
ingestor owns the neighbor graph build + persist; server reads the
snapshot.
**Category A — Schema migrations** → new `internal/dbschema` package.
`dbschema.Apply(rw)` runs in `cmd/ingestor` startup (in `OpenStore`).
`dbschema.AssertReady(ro)` runs in `cmd/server/main.go` and
FATAL-LOG-EXITS if any expected column/index/table is missing — the
operator must restart the ingestor first. Covers indexes,
`neighbor_edges`, `observations.resolved_path`,
`observers.{inactive,last_packet_at,iata}`,
`(inactive_)nodes.foreign_advert`, `transmissions.from_pubkey`.
**Category B — Backfill** → ingestor.
`BackfillFromPubkey` and observer-blacklist soft-delete moved to
`cmd/ingestor/maintenance.go`. Server keeps an inert
`fromPubkeyBackfillSnapshot` stub for `/api/healthz` API compatibility.
**Category C — Neighbor-graph persistence (Option 4)** → ingestor
writes, server reads.
- Ingestor (`cmd/ingestor/neighbor_builder.go`): every 60s scans
`observations + transmissions`, extracts edges (originator↔first-hop for
ADVERTs; observer↔last-hop for all), resolves hop prefixes via a
node-table prefix index, upserts into `neighbor_edges`.
- Server (`cmd/server/neighbor_recomputer.go`): every 60s re-reads
`neighbor_edges` and atomic-swaps the resulting `NeighborGraph` into
`s.graph`. Initial load is synchronous on startup. All server-side
incremental edge writers (the two `asyncPersistResolvedPathsAndEdges`
paths in `cmd/server/store.go`) are gone.
- Neighbor-edge daily prune (`PruneNeighborEdges`) moved to ingestor.
**Why Option 4**: clean read/write separation, no startup CPU spike
(server loads existing snapshot instead of rebuilding from history), no
IPC/delta-protocol churn. Staleness budget ~60s — same model as the
analytics recomputers in #1240 / #1248 / #672 axis 2.
**Recomputer interval default for neighbor graph**: 60s
(`NeighborGraphRecomputerDefaultInterval`,
`NeighborEdgesBuilderInterval`).
**Invariants added**:
- `TestServerSourceHasNoCachedRWCalls` (RED commit eae179b9): grep
enforces zero `cachedRW(`, `mode=rw`, or `sql.Open(_journal_mode=WAL…)`
in non-test `cmd/server/` sources.
- `TestServerStartupRequiresMigratedSchema`: server refuses to start
against an unmigrated DB.
- `TestNeighborGraphRecomputerLoadsSnapshot`: post-write snapshot is
picked up on the next refresh.
- `TestNeighborEdgesBuilderUpsertsFromObservations`: end-to-end pipeline
writes the expected edge.
`grep cachedRW cmd/server/*.go | grep -v _test.go` → 0 matches.
Fixes#1287.

## Summary
Adds two config knobs for controlling backfill scope and neighbor graph
data retention, plus removes the dead synchronous backfill function.
## Changes
### Config knobs
#### `resolvedPath.backfillHours` (default: 24)
Controls how far back (in hours) the async backfill scans for
observations with NULL `resolved_path`. Transmissions with `first_seen`
older than this window are skipped, reducing startup time for instances
with large historical datasets.
#### `neighborGraph.maxAgeDays` (default: 30)
Controls the maximum age of `neighbor_edges` entries. Edges with
`last_seen` older than this are pruned from both SQLite and the
in-memory graph. Pruning runs on startup (after a 4-minute stagger) and
every 24 hours thereafter.
### Dead code removal
- Removed the synchronous `backfillResolvedPaths` function that was
replaced by the async version.
### Implementation details
- `backfillResolvedPathsAsync` now accepts a `backfillHours` parameter
and filters by `tx.FirstSeen`
- `NeighborGraph.PruneOlderThan(cutoff)` removes stale edges from the
in-memory graph
- `PruneNeighborEdges(conn, graph, maxAgeDays)` prunes both DB and
in-memory graph
- Periodic pruning ticker follows the same pattern as metrics pruning
(24h interval, staggered start)
- Graceful shutdown stops the edge prune ticker
### Config example
Both knobs added to `config.example.json` with `_comment` fields.
## Tests
- Config default/override tests for both knobs
- `TestGraphPruneOlderThan` — in-memory edge pruning
- `TestPruneNeighborEdgesDB` — SQLite + in-memory pruning together
- `TestBackfillRespectsHourWindow` — verifies old transmissions are
excluded by backfill window
