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.

The coordinator's event loop was 16.5% busy at ~10 MB/s of compressed
XOVER (socket reads, buffers, GC, spool writes; nothing stands out), so
one process tops out around 60 MB/s: less than 50 connections bring
(~1M articles/s, ~70-86 MB/s). A shard prefetches the ranges with
id % n = i - 1 with its own NNTP_CONNECTIONS; only shard 1 plans, merges
and settles. Two shards of 5 connections fetched what one of 10 did.

It waited for every chunk in flight, and a connection the server held
back (after killed coordinators left sessions open) waits up to the
10-minute reply timeout: it never seemed to stop. It now waits at most
15 s, then closes all connections, busy ones too; the greeting and login
time out after 30 s. And run() ends with terminate(), as edge:node does.

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.

Waiting files counted as work, so the merge loop re-read them for its
whole 30 s budget every minute: Postgres used ~a core even without
workers. Now ~4% at rest, and storing a boneless range costs Postgres
~0.7–1.9 s of CPU (it was 33 s with the loop running). Chunk payloads
are stored EXTERNAL (zstd already; no pglz attempt).

Hourly in coordinator:run: a release unchanged for 6 hours is settled,
complete when every file its [i/N] counter announced was found, unknown
without a counter (phase 2 reads par2 sets for those). Partial index on
unsettled releases.

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.

Files cut by a range's edge are put together once the ranges around them
are done (coordinator:run, every minute): a complete file is judged by the
rules and written as a release chunk with probe candidates; one still
missing parts while both neighbouring ranges are done is dropped and
counted (incomplete/edge). A neighbour not planned yet counts as not done,
except before the group's oldest article. BatchStore.writeReleases is the
shared write path.

- 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
