Content inspection and archive walks on seeding nodes (relay)
Inspection is split into prepare (database), probe (lib/content/probe:
downloads, decoding and parsing, no database) and apply (database).
worker:collection runs all three; seed:node with SEED_INSPECTORS leases
jobs from the same queues through the seed API (BullMQ manual leases),
fetches articles through the seed API and posts the probes back.

A node now needs only SEED_URL and SEED_TOKEN: the settings the app
requires but a node never uses get placeholders for seed:node.
