fix(sync): resolve cross-file refs when an edit adds or removes the satisfying symbol (#1240) (#1249)

* fix(sync): resolve cross-file refs when an edit adds or removes the satisfying symbol (#1240)

Incremental sync scoped reference resolution to the changed files' own
refs, and a completed pass deleted every ref it failed to resolve — so
a symbol change in one file could never repair references in UNCHANGED
files, in either direction, until a full re-index:

- New-export case: a.ts imports/calls `greet` before b.ts defines it.
  The failed refs were deleted at index time; when b.ts later gained
  `greet`, nothing revisited a.ts — the calls/imports edges stayed
  missing while status reported a clean index.
- Removal case: when a re-index (or file deletion) dropped a symbol,
  the incoming edges cascade-deleted and the callers — whose resolved
  refs had been consumed — never got a chance to rebind to an
  alternative definition or reconnect when the symbol returned.

Fix, sharing one lifecycle:

- Schema v8: unresolved_refs gains status ('pending'/'failed') and
  name_tail (last dotted segment, so `h.greet` is findable by `greet`).
  Both resolver persist paths now park unresolvable refs as failed
  instead of deleting them. All pending-work readers (batched drain,
  non-progress guard, #1187 orphan sweep, status pendingRefs) filter to
  pending, preserving their invariants and keeping status honest.
- Sync retry: after scoped resolution, failed refs whose name tail
  matches a symbol name now present in the changed files are re-resolved
  through a per-ref-yielding path (watchdog-safe, #1091 class). Names
  matching >500 failed refs are skipped as external/builtin noise (#999
  rationale).
- Removal side: createEdges stamps each resolution edge with its
  originating reference (metadata.refName, + refKind when kind promotion
  rewrote it). When the #899 restore misses a target or sync deletes a
  file, the dropped edge is resurrected as exactly that ref — re-resolved
  in the same sync (rebinding to an alternative definition) or parked
  failed until the symbol reappears. Edges without the stamp (pre-upgrade,
  synthesized) still drop silently: reconstructing from the target's plain
  name would strip receiver context and risk a rebind a full re-index
  would never make.
- Pure-removal syncs clear resolver caches so a long-lived daemon can't
  resolve resurrected refs against the pre-removal graph.

Validated: issue repro now yields a graph byte-identical to a full
re-index; move/remove-readd/file-deletion scenarios all rebind or heal;
baseline-vs-new A/B on express and gin shows identical node/edge counts
and no timing regression (DB grows ~25% from the parked ref rows — pure
cache, reset by any full re-index). 8 regression tests added.

Fixes #1240
