fix(restore): a restore is an unclean event — the swap runs quiesced and the snapshot's durability stamps never survive it
Two defects with one root, found by the fold-checkpoint work's first
integration gate. (1) THE RACE: restore() never quiesced the generation
store, so a background flush could write into _system/ while the swap was
removing it — observed as ENOTEMPTY mid-swap when a checkpoint stamp landed
between readdir and rmdir. The swap now runs inside the store's exclusive
section (runStateReplacement): flush timer disarmed, pending tier and
checkpoint accumulator discarded BEFORE any directory moves. (2) THE
INHERITED ASSERTION: a snapshot carries its source brain's clean-shutdown
marker and fold checkpoint, but the restored files were bulk-copied without
per-file fsync — the inherited stamps would suppress exactly the recovery
fold that cures a post-restore power cut. reopenAfterRestore now deletes
both stamps before reopening: the open treats the store as uncleanly shut,
folds the restored log into canonical, barrier-syncs what it re-applied,
and stamps fresh — the restored state is durably founded at restore time
instead of borrowing assertions about bytes this disk never synced.

Pinned: restore under in-flight traffic completes; the pre-restore stamp
does not survive; the post-restore stamp is the reopen fold's own, at the
restored watermark.

/**
* @module tests/integration/fold-checkpoint-bound
* @description The fold-checkpoint bound (crash recovery's log fold, bounded):
* `_system/fold-checkpoint.json` at generation G asserts every entity whose
* latest fact is ≤ G has DURABLE canonical bytes — each stamp strictly follows
* a canonical-sync barrier over every live entity touched since the last one
* (stamp-after-data). An unclean open then folds only `(G, head]` instead of
* the whole log. These pins prove the four load-bearing properties:
*
* 1. The stamp exists and tracks the committed watermark (flush + close).
* 2. The fold is genuinely BOUNDED — facts ≤ G are skipped — while facts in
* `(G, head]` are re-applied even BELOW the manifest.
* 3. A failed barrier NEVER advances the stamp (the bound can lag, growing
* a later fold — it can never overstate durability, losing a write).
* 4. A pre-checkpoint brain (the 10.0 shape) bootstraps its chain at its
* first whole-log fold; a tree-authority brain never stamps at all.
