test(database): the next destructive repair fails a test, not a volume
The fix for the dropped catalog pins one table in one wrong shape, which
is the failure that happened. What cost the rebuild was more general: a
destructive repair added at `database.NewDB` -- the chokepoint every
binary in this project shares -- without asking which binary it runs in.
The next one will have a different name and a different reason.

So `TestNoCacheTableIsRetiredHere` asserts the outcome instead: put every
`datamap` Cache table into a shape the schema has moved past, open the
database the way cmd/indexbuild does, and require all of them to still be
there. Driving it from `datamap.ByKind` is what makes it cover tables
nobody remembered -- flipping the policy back fails on five, including
the two artist-credit tables added the same day, where the existing test
fails on one. It asserts the rows survive too, because SQLite does an
implicit DELETE before a DROP and a repair that recreated the table would
look identical. And it accepts an error from `NewDB`, because that is the
documented trade: loud is recoverable, gone is not.

`scripts/index-cache-snapshot.sh` covers the half no test can reach. The
volume holds the only copy of a catalog that costs hours of someone
else's bandwidth to re-derive. `VACUUM INTO` rather than `cp`, since a
byte copy of a live SQLite file is a corrupt file of plausible size; the
resumable staging directory is skipped; and each snapshot is reopened and
asked for its catalog row count before anything is rotated out. A corrupt
source and an empty catalog were both exercised: each exits non-zero,
removes its own output, and leaves the previous snapshots alone.

docs/index-cache.md is the restore, and the reason to bother: a restored
snapshot resolves to `refresh` and folds in the listens since, which is
minutes against the 3-23h this rebuild has been estimating.

# Snapshot the index build's database, which is the only copy of it.
#
# `/srv/yellowjacket/index-cache` is the `YJ_HOME` the index job keeps
# between runs (`.gitea/workflows/index-artifact.yml` mounts it at
# `/cache`). Its catalog is *derived*, not downloaded: the only way to
# rebuild it is to re-stream the MetaBrainz dumps, which is hours at a
# rate that is someone else's to decide. On 2026-08-17 a schema repair
# dropped it and cost exactly that.
#
# So it gets a snapshot, and this is the script a cron on that host runs.
# It is deliberately not part of the workflow: a backup that only exists
# while the thing it protects is being modified is not a backup.
#
# Usage (on the Gitea host):
#
# scripts/index-cache-snapshot.sh [SOURCE_HOME] [DEST_DIR] [KEEP]
#
# SOURCE_HOME default /srv/yellowjacket/index-cache
# DEST_DIR default /srv/yellowjacket/index-snapshots
# KEEP how many to retain, default 2
#
# Suggested cron — daily, and nowhere near the Monday 04:00 build:
#
# 30 5 * * * /path/to/index-cache-snapshot.sh >> /var/log/yj-index-snapshot.log 2>&1
#
# Three things about it are load-bearing.
#
# **`VACUUM INTO`, not `cp`.** The database may be open, and a byte copy
# of a live SQLite file is a corrupt file with a plausible size.
# `VACUUM INTO` takes a read lock, writes a consistent compacted copy,
# and is safe while the index job is running — it costs the snapshot's
# own write, not the source's availability.
#
# **The staging directory is not copied.** `/cache/data/explore-staging`
# is a resumable checkpoint of work in flight; it is large, it changes
# constantly, and a build resumes without it. What cannot be re-derived
# cheaply is the finished catalog, which is in the database.
#
# **A snapshot that is not verified is a belief.** Each one is opened
# and asked for its catalog row count before the old ones are rotated
# out, so a run that produced an unreadable file leaves the previous
# good snapshot in place and fails loudly.
