dillard c54b2cebed M5: end-to-end test matrix and CI
- tests/integration/roundtrip.sh: key, kit code and confirmation,
  location, full and unchanged incremental backup, restore new-folder and
  replace (files identical, extra file in the trash), database dump and
  restore, retention, trash and restore from trash, no files_external
  errors in the log
- tests/integration/matrix.sh: fresh Nextcloud per version and database
  (SQLite, MariaDB, PostgreSQL), removes only its own containers and
  their volumes; locally green on NC32 and NC35 with all three databases
- GitHub Actions: unit tests on PHP 8.2-8.4, round trip on NC32-35 x
  SQLite/MariaDB/PostgreSQL

Fixes found by the matrix:
- files_external is no longer booted when it is disabled: only its
  classes are loaded and a private BackendService gets its backends from
  its Application class (booting registered its mount provider, which
  failed on installations where its tables were never created)
- SQLite: the database file is excluded from the file backup (it is
  covered by the logical dump and copying the live file is inconsistent)
- occ backup:key:confirm accepts --code and --confirm for scripts

dillard 48bb829d45 M5: resumable database dump and faster database restore
- DbDumper::dumpStep(): tables are dumped until the step's deadline in one
  REPEATABLE READ transaction and resumed at the last primary key in the
  next step; the running table checksum is carried over. A dump that fits
  in one step is fully consistent, otherwise the snapshot records
  dbConsistent=false. BackupService uses it, so the database phase no
  longer needs one long request (hosted Nextcloud, web cron)
- restore inserts 100 rows per statement and leaves tables whose checksum
  already matches the dump untouched
- spike C: 30-step dump gives the same checksums as the one-shot dump;
  restore rewrote only the 3 damaged tables of 147; 300k-row table
  restored in 14.6 s instead of 46 s

dillard 7b33347dbc Phase 0: fixes from review (torn files, pending blobs, exact sequences, UTF-8, storage checks)
- detect files changing during reading or between resumable steps and
  re-read them (size/mtime/ctime/inode), spike F overwrites mid-run
- drop pending blob ids when a pack or index upload fails
- dump and restore PostgreSQL sequence state exactly, bound parameters,
  validated catalog names; spike C checks all sequences exactly
- keep invalid UTF-8 byte-exact (tagged base64)
- refuse large tables without a primary key
- StorageBackend: check write/flush/close results, validate base path
- user_migration import/export: root paths, intermediate folders,
  partial writes, read errors
- spikes: never touch an existing account, own fixtures, 512M note

dillard 93fec0e8f3 Phase 0: resumable time-boxed backup steps (spike F) and results
BackupRun is a resumable state machine: each step works until a deadline,
uploads its pack and tree segment, and returns the state; large files are
resumed at the next blob. Snapshot is written last.

Spike F: 200 MiB file resumed across steps in separate processes; with 6
random kill -9 the run completes and restores bit-identically.
spikes/RESULTS.md summarises phase 0 and the findings for the plan.

dillard d474050be0 Phase 0: per-user backup/restore through user_migration (spike E)
RepositoryExportDestination / RepositoryImportSource implement the
public OCP\UserMigration interfaces on top of the repository, so
user_migration's migrators (calendar, contacts, trashbin, account,
files) export straight into the encrypted repository.

Spike E (NC34): export 0.8s, unchanged second export stores nothing;
after deleting the user, import restores account, files (bit-identical),
calendar event and contact. Findings: calendars/address books come back
as 'migrated-*' with new object URIs; importing over an existing user
duplicates contacts and adds a migrated birthday calendar; creating the
user on import needs >128 MB (password_policy word list).

dillard bc16a186d5 Phase 0: repository on files_external storages without a mount (spike D)
ExternalStorageFactory builds storages with files_external's own
backends and auth mechanisms from an unsaved StorageConfig (as its
ConfigAdapter does), and StorageBackend adapts any IStorage to IBackend
(writeStream, seekable range reads, temp name + rename except on S3).
IBackend::put() now owns and always closes the stream, because
files_external's S3 writeStream closes it.

Spike D (NC34): S3 (SeaweedFS) and SFTP: 120 MiB backup ~6s, unchanged
run uploads nothing, restore bit-identical, no files_external mount
created, no temp files (max 12 KiB in /tmp). Works with files_external
disabled when its classes are loaded. Backup peak memory 85-89 MiB on
these targets (to investigate).

dillard 915e534ab2 Phase 0: logical DB dump/restore without external tools (spike C)
DbDumper reads every prefixed table through the Nextcloud connection in
one REPEATABLE READ (read-only) transaction, with keyset pagination on
the primary key, and streams each table as JSON lines into its own blob
stream (BlobWriter), so unchanged tables are deduplicated. Restore
replaces table contents in one transaction and resets PostgreSQL
sequences.

Spike C (NC34, PostgreSQL, standard image without pg_dump/pgsql ext):
300k-row table with bytea: dump 6.3s / 50 MiB peak, 94 MiB JSON -> 20 MiB
stored; unchanged second dump stores nothing; restore makes every table
checksum-identical and all 110 sequences continue above the maximum.

dillard 1839997972 Phase 0: repository format with packs, dedup and incremental runs (spike B)
Content-addressed repository on an IBackend (local implementation):
4 MiB blobs, deflate when it helps, each blob encrypted with its id as
associated data, ~32 MiB packs with an encrypted header, one index file
per pack, snapshots as encrypted JSON lines written last.

Spike B: 390 MiB tree, peak 54 MiB; unchanged run reads nothing; a 1 MiB
change in a 300 MiB file uploads one blob; full and partial restore are
bit-identical; tampering is detected.

dillard 07e3d263b4 Phase 0: skeleton, streaming encryption (spike A)
Repository skeleton (app id ng_backup, AGPL-3.0-or-later), KeyRing with
KDF subkeys, keyed blob ids and Argon2id key wrapping, and StreamCipher
(secretstream XChaCha20-Poly1305, framed, bounded memory).

Spike A: 1 GiB round trip with memory_limit=64M, peak < 2 MiB, ~160/122
MiB/s; tampering, truncation, wrong key/passphrase are rejected.
