Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 8475969145 Rebuild: hedged chunk fetches and connection max age (both off by default)
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 24s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
A chunk not in after NNTP_HEDGE_AFTER_SECONDS (10) is asked again on one
of NNTP_HEDGE_CONNECTIONS spare connections; the first answer wins and
the other connection is closed (lib/nntp/hedge.ts, tested). Connections
can be retired after NNTP_CONNECTION_MAX_MINUTES (±25%). The prefetch
report counts hedges and slow first requests by connection age.

Homelab, 15 min each: hedging on (40 + 6) 280k articles/s, off 273k.
The second request won about half of its races, but ~25-35% of first
requests were slow (>10 s) at every connection age, so neither helps:
Eweka is slow under our load, not on particular connections. Both
off by default; the age statistics stay.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 fd0f2bde75 Rebuild: the live tail
coordinator:run plans the articles after each group's last range every
TAIL_EVERY_SECONDS (120): one LIST ACTIVE per name prefix gives every
group's newest article, and new articles become ranges at priority -1,
leased and prefetched before any history. A group gets a tail range once
it has TAIL_MIN_ARTICLES (100k, a chunk) new or its last planning is
TAIL_MAX_DELAY_MINUTES (15) ago, so quiet groups don't make a range every
round. History (planAll, hourly) is now only for groups not planned yet.
ranges:plan --tail plans one round.

Found on the way: with XFEATURE COMPRESS GZIP on, Eweka compresses LIST
ACTIVE's reply too ("215 NewsGroups Follow [COMPRESS=GZIP]"), and
listActive waited for a plain end that never came (groups:add --top too).
It reads the compressed reply now; the fake server in the test does both.

Daan MeijerandClaude Opus 5.5 d773c91ad0 Rebuild: phase 1 modules from the current app, ordered by pipeline stage
Test and deploy / test (push) Successful in 29s
Test and deploy / deploy (push) Skipped
lib/nntp (XOVER client, Xref, GROUP), lib/headers (subjects, file keys,
segments from overview lines; the yEnc path stays behind for phase 2),
lib/release (identity, random names, now in lib), lib/files (aggregator,
volume names), lib/rules (posting tools, owner by priority, release
verdicts), lib/chunks (release chunk codec). Their unit tests came along;
new ones for codec, rules and volumes.
