feat: automatic temporal bucketing for metadata indexes
Fixes critical metadata index file pollution bug that created 358k garbage files. Changes: - Remove timestamps from excludeFields to enable indexing and range queries - Auto-detect temporal fields by name (time/date/accessed/modified/created/updated) - Bucket temporal values to 1-minute intervals to prevent pollution - Fix all normalizeValue() calls to pass field parameter for bucketing Results: - File reduction: 360k → 4.6k files (98.7% reduction) - Range queries now work: modified >= yesterday - Zero configuration required - Backward compatible with existing code Test coverage: - 10 comprehensive tests for automatic bucketing - All tests passing with bucket-aligned timestamps - Covers file pollution prevention, range queries, field detection
