Each release chunk is a release inserted once: release_key the SHA-1 of
the identity, the owner group and the first article (deterministic; no
numbering under a group lock), identity_key the identity's SHA-1 bytes,
poster_id and group_set_id through catalog_refs (cached per process),
source as a code (weak-stem added), the name into release_texts. A
finished release's candidates are claimable at once; a provisional tail
release is finished by a later chunk of its key, a finished one sent again
is left alone. Gone: joins into earlier releases and across groups, key
numbering, the group lock, the fragment merger. Interim: chunks, counts
and samples keyed by ranges.block_id, a range without a block gets one.
Readers follow: search (posters and group_sets joined, words through
release_texts, posters by id, source by code), the par2 merger, the
sidecar folder, the judge's scraped rule, the spot inspector, the spotter,
the NZB service, releases:regroup, edge:bench. Tests insert fixtures
through tests/functional/helpers/releases.ts; the suites pass again.

releases rebuilt without its text copies: poster_id, group_set_id,
bytea keys, source smallint, edge, settled_at as the finish. posters by
id, group_sets. blocks as the lease unit, ranges.block_id. fragments,
range_blocks, release_final, the settler and the fragment merger gone;
release_chunks, rule_counts and rule_samples keyed by block. Cold tables
on CHUNK_TABLESPACE. Migration 6000 truncates the catalog and refuses
without VOYAGER3_RESET=1.
