Jamie Pine 3c61e80d71 Settle what a source store owes when its origin goes away
A store has two halves. The generation is rebuildable for as long as its
origin still answers, the assertion layer never is, and the origin stops
answering without an event. So the invariant is a rule about what code may
assume rather than a claim about stores, and the registry row tracks what is
actually known about the origin.

Falls out of that: reindex and evict are transactions over one half, and sync
replicates the generation while merging assertions. Which means the assertion
tables need their key and their merge columns settled before P2 fills them,
so P1 gains the re-key, convergent content ids and the uuid narrowing.

New doc is docs/core/design/source-durability.md. Also records two
contradictions found on the way: whether sources may nest (contract 1 and the
previs disagree), and that nothing reconciles record uuids when two devices
index the same origin.
