update: name the file staging cannot materialize

Three separate sites printed the identical 'cannot read repository: repository is corrupt' -- deriving the view, reopening the log, and applyCheckin. So a materialization failure was indistinguishable from a failure to read the repository, which is a different claim about a different subsystem.

stagePlan's three refusals now return FileContentMissing carrying the file path and the artifact name: a file the check-in references has no artifact here, or has none stored, or the stored bytes do not match the name. verify cannot surface any of these -- it checks that stored artifacts are valid, never that referenced ones exist.

Being in the closed ApplyError set, the compiler required all four verb mappers to handle it. (#42) check-in: 0b7b4af7fe user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest

repoview: name the artifact a failed derive rejected

'repository is corrupt' says a repository cannot be read, not what in it is unreadable -- and the walk that discovers it visits every artifact in the store, minutes on a large one. Whoever holds the broken repository was left bisecting it or attaching a debugger.

The derive now records which artifact it rejected and why; openRepo reports it, so every verb's open gets the name. Plain data, no allocation, so it survives the errdefer that tears down a half-built view. Repository.open clears it per attempt because callers declare a Repository undefined.

Also splits open's two identical diagnostics: deriving the view and reopening the log for materialization both printed the same line, which made a failure in one indistinguishable from the other. (#42) check-in: 37f746e59f user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest

pack cache: derive the entry cap from the byte budget

A real 53,773-commit import evicted 99,097 times, every one forced by the 4096-entry cap and not one by the 64 MiB byte cap, with the resident set at 23,551 KiB. The cache was held to a third of its own stated size by a second, unrelated number, and the 51 percent hit rate that produced looked like a working-set problem rather than an arithmetic accident.

The entry cap now divides the byte budget by a planning entry size, so the two cannot disagree about which one is bounding: bytes bind for normal data, entries only for many tiny items, which is what an entry cap is for. (#40) check-in: ac89bad5fd user: dmestas tags: sub-manifest
