Eweka sends some ranges' compressed XOVER truncated, the same bytes
every time, while the plain reply is whole (a.b.models 3317215-3367214:
1,675,600 bytes that don't inflate, twice; 50,000 lines plain;
tools/false_end.ts). Not a false end of reply. The worker's corrupt
report removed the chunk and the range was fetched again, with the same
bytes: one range was reported 540 times. (Before this morning's change
the inflate check waited for more data until the 10-minute timeout,
like voyager 1's 'chunk never answered' ranges.)
A reported chunk's start goes into ranges.plain_chunks; the prefetcher
fetches those over one connection without XFEATURE COMPRESS GZIP
(NntpPool.usePlain, opened on demand) and deflates them here. A plain
chunk reported again sets the range aside (status failed, error). The
capture (edge:bench --capture) fetches such a chunk plain too.

The coordinator ran the prefetch tick in the same loop as the merger
(up to 30 s a minute): its connections went idle once their targets
were fetched, and the first leases after a start found nothing spooled.
The prefetcher now ticks in a loop of its own.
The prefetcher took the first planned ranges with nothing spooled, even
ones with nothing left to fetch (next_id past the end): two such ranges
(edge:bench's, set back to planned) kept it from fetching anything. It
and the lease query now skip those, and edge:bench marks its range done.

A slice of a chunk's text keeps the whole text alive (tens of MB) for as
long as the file it belongs to stays open: message-ids, file details and
cache keys are now copies. edge:bench on boneless: peak RSS 1,137 → ~660
MB, external memory 570 → 40–75 MB, the same speed (~190k headers/s);
the same results on 800k real lines. edge:bench prints the breakdown.

nyuu's 12 capital+small letter pairs in 15 bytes (10 bits a pair), its
timestamp as a delta within the file, the suffix once per file;
ngPost-style 32 hex digits in 16 bytes; other ids as zstd text as before.
Recent boneless: 25.2 → 20.3 B per segment (and 25.0 → 19.5 on the next
range); a 2013 ath range stays at 17.9 (JBinUp ids are text). Every chunk
of three real ranges decodes to itself (edge:bench --verify). Encoding is
no slower than v1 (less text for zstd). Version 1 chunks stay readable.

The neighbour check was three queries per file (~2,000 files/minute); now
one per round of 20k files, with a cursor so waiting files don't take
every round's places, and rounds until nothing is left or 30 s. On the
dev backlog (old-style fragments): ~18k files/minute in the 30 s budget;
at full throughput the new fragment rule leaves ~1,200 files/minute.
A group that fails GROUP (gone from the server) no longer stops planning
the others; edge:bench's groups are inactive.

The worker reads the XOVER reply's text directly: fields by position, the
owner from the Xref without arrays (crossposts leave before any subject
parsing), a subject parsed once per file (cached without its segment
counter), a file's details as one shared object, dates as numbers.
Garbage collection had been ~22% of the time.
Same results as parseOverviews + segmentFromHeader on 800k real lines.
edge:bench (one core): boneless 137k → 193k headers/s (CPU 21 → 12.8 s),
ath (2013) 143k → 303k; peak RSS 1.15 / 0.87 GB.

End to end on the workstation (coordinator:run, the API, edge:node, real
NNTP): a.b.e-book.french and a.b.cd.image.playstation2.dvdiso ranges.
- Prefetcher: every connection takes the next missing chunk (leased
ranges first, in order); one connection per range (~26k lines/s) kept
the worker waiting
- executable rule: releases of bare executables (malware floods named
after films and software) are dropped; they were 92% of the catalog rows
of the test ranges, 21% of the segments
- fragments per file (details once) and gzipped batch bodies; the JSON
limit (1 MB by default) raised to 256 MB, empty strings kept (a rule
count's key is '')
- release_chunks.batch_from is a bigint (boneless article numbers)
- tests get their own database; edge:bench --store times BatchStore:
1.3 s for a boneless range (1.24 ms per release chunk)

- groups:add / ranges:plan / nodes:create / coordinator:run commands
- the node API: lease, the range's chunks as one framed stream from the
spool, batches, heartbeat, finish, release (node guard, token per node)
- edge:node: needs COORDINATOR_URL and NODE_TOKEN only (placeholders for
the rest), posts a batch every 10 chunks, gives its range back on SIGTERM
- releases are gathered per batch: 1.04 chunk rows per release at 10
chunks per batch (1.35 when built per XOVER chunk)
- partitions are checked per batch instead of remembered
