fix: full-removal canonical deletes + family-scoped migration gate

Two production-reported spine fixes:

- Canonical delete is a FULL removal: remove()/removeMany() deleted the
  metadata leg but never the canonical vectors.json leg or the <id>/
  directory, leaving ghost rows that inflated enumerated counts forever,
  read as damage scars, and caused duplicate readdir entries for
  re-created VFS paths (the stale-unpost path). The delete operation now
  routes through storage.deleteNoun — both legs + the entity container —
  with a full two-leg before-image rollback; deleteVerb symmetric; the
  blind 'no metadata file' catch that masked real faults is gone. The
  generation log still holds the delete's before-image, so asOf() history
  is unchanged. repairIndex() gains a conservative, loud orphan-prune
  sweep (containers with no metadata content leg) + count recompute for
  stores damaged by earlier versions.

- Family-scoped migration gate: every read blocked on the whole-brain
  migration lock even when the migrating index was irrelevant. The gate
  now scopes to the index families a read actually consults — canonical
  reads never wait; find() waits only on its query shape's families;
  graph traversals wait only on the graph family. Writes keep the
  conservative whole-brain wait. A read that needs the migrating family
  still blocks (bounded) with the retryable MigrationInProgressError.

* @module tests/unit/brainy/migration-gate-family-scoped

* on the index families it actually consults. A one-time native migration of ONE
* family (its `isMigrating()` held) must NOT block a read served entirely from
* canonical storage (get / VFS content + dir) or from a HEALTHY family only a
* read that needs the migrating family blocks. Regression for the whole-brain
* gate that hung getStats / readdir / readFile behind an unrelated family's
* migration until the wait timed out.

* Migration LOCK (#18) coordinated, automatic 7.x 8.0 auto-upgrade.
*
* Exercises the real block-and-queue behavior of `awaitMigrationLock` at the
* `ensureInitialized` choke point: while ANY index provider reports
* `isMigrating() === true`, data-plane reads and writes WAIT (no operation
* touches a half-built index); observability (`getIndexStatus`, `health`) and
* the lock-clearing `stampBrainFormat` stay exempt; and a lock that outlives the
* configured window surfaces a retryable `MigrationInProgressError`.
* `ensureInitialized` choke point. The gate is FAMILY-SCOPED: a write (which
* touches every index) WAITS while ANY provider reports `isMigrating() === true`,
* and a read WAITS only when the migrating provider is one of the index families
* that read consults (so a read served from canonical storage or a healthy family
* is never blocked by an unrelated family's migration see
* `tests/unit/brainy/migration-gate-family-scoped.test.ts`). Observability
* (`getIndexStatus`, `health`) and the lock-clearing `stampBrainFormat` stay
* exempt; a lock that outlives the configured window surfaces a retryable
* `MigrationInProgressError`. Here the graph provider holds the lock, so the
* read cases use a graph traversal (`related`) the family that actually waits.
*
* A native (cortex) provider owns the real migration; here we simulate the lock
