dillard 9775cdc475 Locations: edit connection settings without losing the history
A changed password or host name could only be handled by adding a new
location, which starts an empty repository and, with a retention lock at
the provider, keeps the old one billed. Edit now changes a location in
place (web interface and occ backup:target:edit). The settings are only
saved when they lead to the same repository; a failed connection and a
missing repository give separate errors, and the folder is not created
while checking. Stored passwords are never sent to the browser: an empty
password field keeps the stored value.

dillard 0f4a238414 Pre-beta review: data safety in storage, catalog and backup runs
Storage and repository:
- Listing skipped every name containing ".part-", directories too, so the
  exports of a user like "john.part-time" were invisible to prune on S3,
  SFTP, FTP and SMB and their data was deleted. Only real temporary uploads
  ("<name>.part-<8 hex>") are skipped now.
- prune refuses to run while a recorded per-user export's manifest is
  missing, instead of freeing that export's data.
- forget() and untrash() copy first, switch the catalog, and delete the
  originals last, so a crash can no longer leave the catalog pointing at a
  missing snapshot or database dump.
- Writes are checked against the expected size, so a short upload is an
  error instead of a truncated pack; raw restores check rename() and touch().
- A catalog write refuses to overwrite a generation another process just
  wrote, and the catalog lock lasts 300 s, so opening a large repository
  inside it no longer lets the lease run out.

Backup runs and scheduling:
- A file that keeps changing is read again at most three times; then the
  last read is kept and reported, instead of restarting forever and
  blocking cleanup.
- Unreadable files and folders are recorded, logged, shown by occ
  backup:run, stored in the snapshot and notified to admins, instead of
  being skipped silently.
- After a failed scheduled backup, at most three attempts a day, an hour
  apart, instead of a new run and notification every five minutes.
- The job no longer spins on a run whose lease another process holds, and
  the weekly cleanup catches up after a Sunday spent backing up.
- Notifications for the per-user export retention events.

Full restore, raw directory restore, per-user export and the safety export
held a fixed-TTL lease on the location that nothing refreshed. A restore or
export running longer than that TTL let a cleanup take over and delete data
still in use. They now refresh the lease while they work (per blob, per row
batch, per written chunk), throttled to once a minute.

Also:
- backup:prune still applies snapshot retention when user-export retention
  fails for a location.
- The recovery kit carries the deletion delay, so a disaster recovery keeps
  the original protection instead of falling back to 7 days. Older kits
  still import with the default.
- CI checkouts no longer persist the token in the git config.
- recoveryKit() has its real return type; the stale baseline entry is gone.

New commands, per PLAN.md 3.7:
- occ backup:key:import: adopt the master key from a recovery kit on a fresh installation
  (instead of occ backup:key:init generating a new one), so occ backup:target:add opens the
  existing repository on the location rather than creating an empty one.
- occ backup:restore:full: replace the database (consistent, one transaction), restore the data
  directory in place, and merge config.php -- refuses up front and lists what's missing when the
  Nextcloud major version or any app enabled at backup time doesn't match here (their tables must
  exist before the database restore can use them), rather than guessing or partially applying.

Repository::restore() gained an optional $stripPrefix (write "data/<uid>/..." straight into the
real data directory, not a "data/" subdirectory of it) -- restoring "data/" and "config/" this way
needs no temporary copy of what can be the largest part of an instance.

occ backup:target:add now backfills the local snapshot cache (ngb_snapshots, what occ backup:list
actually reads) when it adopts an existing repository: without this, a freshly connected location
showed no restore points at all, even though the repository itself had them. One unreadable
snapshot is skipped rather than aborting the backfill or the target add itself.

Three self-referential problems found and fixed by testing this against two real, separate
Nextcloud instances sharing only the backup location (tests/integration/full-restore-roundtrip.sh
covers this; the per-process nature of these bugs meant they were invisible from inside a single
occ invocation, including the one used to write the fixes, which is exactly why a second, fresh
process re-running occ backup:status etc. was necessary to catch them):
- The full database dump includes ng_backup's own tables and appconfig rows; restoring them
  verbatim would overwrite the key/target that is actively performing the restore, on THIS
  installation, with the backed-up instance's. Both are now preserved: ng_backup's own tables
  (and, on PostgreSQL, their sequences -- excluding a table does not exclude its sequence) are
  excluded from what gets restored, and its appconfig rows are captured before the database
  restore and written back after, in their own transaction.
- config.php's 'secret' is merged in from the backup (needed so already-encrypted content in the
  restored database, e.g. share tokens, stays decryptable), but Target::options, the master key,
  the wrapped key and the recovery kit code are all encrypted with that same instance secret
  (OCP's ICrypto, or Nextcloud AppConfig's own "sensitive" flag underneath), not with ng_backup's
  own key. Changing it without re-encrypting them first left all four permanently undecryptable
  the moment any later occ command ran. Fixed with two helpers
  (TargetService::reencryptOptionsAround(), KeyService::reencryptForSecretRotation()) that decrypt
  before and re-encrypt after whatever callback actually changes the secret; config.php is applied
  dead last in restoreFull(), after every other repository access. Not crash-safe (a process kill
  mid-rotation would leave a key missing, not just stale) -- disaster recovery is run once by
  hand, right after occ maintenance:install, a window too narrow yet to justify a two-phase write.
- A subtler variant of the same bug: Nextcloud's own AppConfig additionally encrypts a "sensitive"
  value itself, tied to the same secret, underneath our own encryption. Overwriting an existing
  sensitive key makes it read the old value first to compare, which then also fails against the
  new secret. Deleting the key before setting the new value avoids that read entirely.

Roadmap (PLAN.md 9): phase 3 (in-place full restore, user self-service) moved out to v1.3.0; phase
2 continues toward v1.2.0 with FTP/SMB, a verification/checksum-audit command, user-export
retention, and deciding whether per-user export joins the automatic schedule.

dillard 807353cbe4 Wire Psalm into CI, fix a real bug it found in user-migration import
RepositoryImportSource::copyToFolder() called putContent() on the generic
return type of Node::get(), which doesn't declare that method -- only
File does. Existing-file overwrite during a per-user restore would have
fatally errored at runtime; added an instanceof check and a resource leak
fix (finally-close) while there. Also guarded getFileAsStream() against
fopen() returning false.

Everything else Psalm (strict level) currently flags is mechanical
(missing `final` on leaf classes -- applied everywhere safe) or pre-existing
array-shape/type gaps, captured in psalm-baseline.xml so CI fails only on
new issues from here on, not the whole backlog at once.
