feat: run a duplicate prune sweep from the node

[MicBun]

First of two. This is the transaction path: the node can build, sign, broadcast and read
back the duplicate prune action that #1422 added, and there is proof that pruning leaves
every read path answering what it answered before. The scheduler that calls it on a cron
is the second PR, and nothing in this one runs on its own.

• Problem: node operators can't run TN without storing repeat data #1420

What this adds

LoadPruneConfig reads duplicate_prune_config, tolerating a missing table so a node
whose binary is ahead of its migrations leaves the sweep off rather than failing every
reload. BroadcastAutoPruneDuplicatesWithRetry sends auto_prune_duplicates and
re-fetches the nonce on each attempt. parsePruneResultFromTxLog reads the sweep's
counters out of the NOTICE, because an action's return value is not visible to whoever
broadcast the transaction.

All three sit beside their digest equivalents in engine_ops.go and follow their shape.

Retention is deliberately not passed. It is the action's third parameter and it
defaults to NULL, which makes the action read retention_days from the config, so an
operator can change it with a signed exec-sql instead of a binary release. A test asserts
the transaction carries two arguments rather than three, because that is the whole
mechanism.

The safety case

TestPruneActions grows a sixteenth case, and it is the one worth reading. A twelve-day
stream of four runs, drained through auto_prune_duplicates with retention left NULL and
a delete cap of two so it takes several rounds, then get_record, get_index,
get_high_value and get_low_value compared before and after.

Values, not whole rows. An anchored read reports the anchor's own event_time, and
pruning moves that back to the head of the run on purpose, so the timestamp beside a value
is expected to move. One of the windows sits entirely inside a run and holds no record at
all after pruning, so it can only answer from the anchor #1421 added. get_first_record
is excluded for a stronger reason: it is a forward scan rather than an anchored lookup, so
pruning moves its value, and migration 057's header says so.

The test also asserts the sweep deleted something. Without that, the three comparisons
would pass on a sweep that did nothing, which is the one way this could look green while
proving nothing. It was checked by breaking the expectation and watching it fail.

Tests

Seven unit tests and one action test.

• The notice (4): the counters it carries; the end-of-pass flag, since reading it
  wrong would either spin the drain to its budget every firing or stop a sweep on its
  first batch; a missing entry, which has to be an error rather than a zero-valued
  success; and that neither the digest nor the prune parser reads the other's line.
• The transaction (3): the two-argument payload, the nonce refetch on retry, and
  stopping on a cancelled context.

go test ./extensions/tn_digest/...                       ok
go test -tags kwiltest ./tests/streams/digest/ \
  -run TestPruneActions -timeout=40m                     ok (611s, 16 cases)
golangci-lint run ./extensions/tn_digest/...             0 issues

Nothing prunes as a result of this PR. duplicate_prune_config.enabled ships false and
nothing reads it yet.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The extension adds independently configured duplicate pruning. It broadcasts auto_prune_duplicates, serializes prune and digest drains, manages prune lifecycle events, and verifies that pruning preserves query results.

Changes

Duplicate pruning

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Prune configuration and transaction operations extensions/tn_digest/constants.go, extensions/tn_digest/scheduler/constants.go, extensions/tn_digest/internal/engine_ops.go, extensions/tn_digest/internal/prune_ops_test.go, extensions/tn_digest/README.md	Adds prune defaults, configuration loading, retrying action broadcasts, NOTICE parsing, operator guidance, and transaction tests.
Serialized prune scheduling extensions/tn_digest/scheduler/scheduler.go, extensions/tn_digest/scheduler/drain_slot_test.go, extensions/tn_digest/scheduler/constants.go	Adds an independent prune cron, shared drain-slot synchronization, cancellation-aware shutdown, retry handling, adaptive delays, and one-shot execution.

End-to-end pruning validation tests/streams/digest/prune_actions_test.go	Runs repeated prune batches and verifies survivor records and read results remain unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f23d4

A manual prune can overlap scheduled work and submit a conflicting transaction nonce. Serialize the one-shot path before merging.
