fix(git-sync): gate stale-lock removal by mtime + cover preflight self-heals (#119 F1-F4)

clearStaleGitLocks() removed a hardcoded list of 9 git lock files
UNCONDITIONALLY — despite its name it never checked staleness. In a
multi-replica TTL-lapse window (a documented engine limitation), replica B's
preflight could rm a LIVE index.lock held by replica A mid `git add`/`commit`,
turning a safe fail-fast ("index.lock: File exists") into concurrent
index/ref writes and corruption.

F1: gate each removal by file age. A live git op is bounded by
GIT_EXEC_TIMEOUT_MS (120s), after which git is killed and the lock's mtime
freezes — so a lock older than 3× that (STALE_LOCK_MIN_AGE_MS = 360s) provably
has no live holder and is a genuine crash-leftover. Fresh locks (mtime within
the window) are preserved; missing locks are a no-op. Strictly safer than the
prior unconditional rm (the gate can only prevent removals, never add them).

F4: move clearStaleGitLocks (doc + body) below isMergeInProgress so the
mid-merge jsdoc re-attaches to its real owner; soften the doc (it clears a
fixed list of the engine's own index/ref locks, not "any *.lock").

F2: cycle.test.ts pins the preflight order
ensureRepo < clearStaleGitLocks < ensureMainBranch < ensureBranch (a refactor
that moved clearStaleGitLocks before ensureRepo — deleting ensureRepo's own
transient lock — would now fail the test).

F3: git.test.ts covers ensureMainBranch's HEAD-fallback branch (both main and
docmost gone → main recreated from HEAD) and the no-commit no-op.

Also: the D3-N3 test now backdates the planted lock's mtime so it is stale (and
still removed), plus a new test asserts a FRESH lock is PRESERVED (the
corruption-safety property — this would fail against the old code). cycle.ts's
preflight comment softened to match the mtime gating.

git-sync vitest: 711 passed | 1 expected-fail (+4 new tests). tsc clean.

 The API server is a Fastify app with a global `/api` prefix (`main.ts` excludes `robots.txt`, public share pages, and `mcp` from the prefix). A `preHandler` hook enforces that a resolved `workspaceId` exists for most `/api` routes (multi-tenant by hostname/subdomain via `DomainMiddleware`). `GET /api/sb/:id` (the anonymous blob-sandbox read route) is listed in that preHandler's `excludedPaths`, so it is exempt from workspace resolution and carries no session auth at all (its capability is the unguessable UUID + TTL + TLS) — unlike `/api/files/public/...`, which still resolves a workspace and requires a workspace-bound attachment JWT. Auth is JWT (cookie + bearer); authorization is **CASL** (`core/casl`) — every data access is scoped to the user's abilities.
 
+Two routes are mounted **outside** the `/api` prefix at the root, as raw Fastify routes that bypass the Nest pipeline (so neither `DomainMiddleware` nor `ThrottlerGuard` runs for them — each resolves the workspace and throttles itself): `/mcp` (the embedded MCP server, see below) and `/git/<spaceId>.git/...` (the git-sync smart-HTTP host, see below). Both share `mcp-auth.helpers.ts` (HTTP-Basic parsing, `FailedLoginLimiter`, `clientIp`) and the common `resolveRequestWorkspace` helper.

Off by default; gated by the `GIT_SYNC_ENABLED` master switch (and `GIT_SYNC_SERVICE_USER_ID`, the account git-originated writes are attributed to). Per-space opt-in via `space.settings.gitSync.enabled`, with a second per-space toggle `space.settings.gitSync.autoMergeConflicts` that changes PUSH behavior for a still-conflicted page (one carrying `<<<<<<<`/`>>>>>>>` markers): **off (the safe default)** records a per-page failure and holds the refs so the user resolves the git conflict first (markers never reach Docmost); **on** strips the marker lines and pushes both sides' content. Each enabled space gets an on-disk working "vault" repo; the `GitSyncOrchestrator` runs a debounced + poll-backstop reconcile cycle (PULL Docmost→vault, PUSH vault→Docmost) under a per-space Redis leader lock + in-process mutex (`SpaceLockService`). Writes go through the collaboration layer (so concurrent human edits aren't clobbered) and are stamped `lastUpdatedSource = 'git-sync'` for the listener loop-guard. The in-process `setInterval` orchestration + best-effort lock (no fencing tokens) is a known multi-replica limitation — BullMQ + fencing is the documented future direction.
+
+- **`/git` smart-HTTP host** (`integrations/git-sync/http/`, gated additionally by `GIT_SYNC_HTTP_ENABLED`, which defaults to `GIT_SYNC_ENABLED`): a raw root-mounted Fastify route `/git/<spaceId>.git/...` (registered in `main.ts`, NOT under `/api`) that bridges `git clone`/`fetch`/`push` to `git http-backend`. It authenticates HTTP Basic against `AuthService` (throttled by a `FailedLoginLimiter` mirroring the `/mcp` path), authorizes via `SpaceAbilityFactory` (read = fetch, Manage = push), and gates existence so a non-member gets the SAME 404 as a missing/sync-disabled space (never 403 — that would leak space existence). A push runs the receive-pack under the space lock, then a reconcile cycle.
+- **Schema mirror:** `packages/git-sync/src/lib/docmost-schema.ts` is one of the **three** hand-synced copies of the Tiptap document schema (see Client structure) — keep it in lockstep with `editor-ext` (canonical) and `packages/mcp`.

 ### Client structure
 Vite SPA. Code is organized by feature under `apps/client/src/features/*` (mirrors the server domains: `page`, `space`, `comment`, `ai-chat`, `editor`, …). Conventions:
 - **TanStack Query** for server state (one `queries/` file per feature), **Jotai** atoms for local/shared UI state, **Mantine 8** + CSS modules (`*.module.css`) + `postcss-preset-mantine` for UI.
-- The editor is Tiptap; shared node/mark extensions live in `packages/editor-ext` and are imported by **both the client and the server** (collaboration, import/export) — editor schema changes often need to be made in `editor-ext`, not just the client. Note `packages/mcp` does *not* depend on `editor-ext`; it carries its own mirrored copy of the schema, so keep the two in sync manually when the document schema changes.

 - Runtime config is injected at build time by `vite.config.ts` via `define` (`APP_URL`, `COLLAB_URL`, `APP_VERSION`, …) — these come from the root `.env`, not from `import.meta.env`.

+ * cannot `require()` nor `import()` without --experimental-vm-modules, so the
+ * server jest config `moduleNameMapper`s `@docmost/git-sync` to its TS SOURCE and
+ * strips the ESM `.js` import suffixes. ts-jest then type-checks that source under
+ * the server's (looser) tsconfig and trips a benign narrowing; the global
+ * `isolatedModules: true` on the ts-jest transform (apps/server/package.json)
+ * makes it transpile-only so this spec loads. Full type-checking of the package
+ * is still enforced by its own `tsc`/vitest gates and the server `tsc --noEmit`.
+ *
+ * §13.1 IDEMPOTENCY GATE — the blocking gate for git-sync Phase B.
+ *
+ * Proves the `@docmost/git-sync` pure converter is schema-compatible
+ * with the server's REAL editor-ext document schema: a representative corpus of
+ * editor-ext ProseMirror documents must survive a full round trip through the
+ * actual server write path without losing any node / mark / attribute.
+ *
+ * Pipeline per document (issue #194 §13.1):
+ *   1. md   = convertProseMirrorToMarkdown(content)          // git-sync export
+ *   2. doc  = await markdownToProseMirror(md)                // git-sync import
+ *   3. push `doc` through the REAL editor-ext Yjs write path the server uses:
+ *        ydoc       = TiptapTransformer.toYdoc(doc, 'default', tiptapExtensions)
+ *        normalized = TiptapTransformer.fromYdoc(ydoc, 'default')

+ *      `@hocuspocus/transformer`, so the gate exercises the real schema
+ *      validation that runs on a git-sync write (issue #194 §3.3).
+ *   4. assert docsCanonicallyEqual(canon(original), canon(normalized)) === true
+ *
+ * Any node / mark / attr that editor-ext drops (because the git-sync
+ * docmost-schema named it differently, or declares a different default) makes
+ * the gate FAIL for that document — exactly the schema-divergence issue #194 §3.3 /

+/**
+ * Pure block-level THREE-WAY merge planner (diff3) over arrays of opaque block
+ * keys. Used by the git-sync body write to merge an incoming git body into the
+ * live page using the last-synced version as the common ancestor (review #5):
+ *
+ *   - a block only the human changed (live != base, git == base) -> keep LIVE
+ *   - a block only git changed       (git != base, live == base) -> take GIT
+ *   - a block both sides changed (a real conflict)               -> GIT wins
+ *   - inserts/deletes from either side are preserved when unambiguous
+ *
+ * Content-agnostic: it works on string keys and returns the merged block order as
+ * picks ({ src: 'live'|'target', index }) — the caller (the Yjs applier)
+ * materializes them — so the whole algorithm is unit-testable on plain arrays.
+ *
+ * Algorithm: anchor on base blocks present (unchanged) in BOTH live and target
+ * (their LCS-with-base intersection). Between consecutive anchors lies one region
+ * the human and/or git rewrote; resolve each region three-way. Stable anchor
+ * blocks are emitted from LIVE so the applier keeps the existing Yjs block
+ * instances (and the human's in-flight edits) in place.
+ *
+ * LOCATION (deferred): this and its `lcs.ts` sibling are pure, framework-free and
+ * could conceptually live in `packages/git-sync` (the engine). They are kept in
+ * the server integration on purpose: `packages/git-sync` is a VENDORED engine
+ * (pinned upstream, manually re-synced), so adding first-party files there
+ * complicates the re-sync story, and the only consumer today is the server. Move

+/**
+ * Regression for the HIGH-severity runaway whole-body duplication: a page body
+ * was RE-APPENDED in full on every git-sync reconcile cycle, unbounded, with NO
+ * client connected.
+ *
+ * ROOT CAUSE (confirmed in-process against the real failing page): the LIVE Yjs
+ * document materializes the editor-schema default `indent: 0` on every
+ * paragraph/heading (and on the paragraph inside every list item, callout, and
+ * table cell), but a body re-imported from git — parsed from clean markdown —
+ * carries NO indent attribute. So every live block's comparison key differed from
+ * the same block coming back from git; the three-way merge could anchor on
+ * NOTHING, and the trailing unit that git's export already contained (but the
+ * merge could not match against the byte-identical live tail) was re-appended
+ * each cycle. Each grown export then diverged from the last-pushed base by one
+ * more unit — a self-sustaining loop.
+ *
+ * The fix normalizes the materialized default (`indent: 0`) out of the block key
+ * (the schema-derived `serializeXmlNode` normalization in yjs-body-merge.ts drops
+ * every attr equal to its ProseMirror-schema default; `indent: 0` is one such),
+ * so a live block compares equal to its git-round-tripped twin and the resync is
+ * a true no-op. The sibling `yjs-body-merge.schema-defaults.spec.ts` covers the
+ * rest of the bug class (image.align, link mark internal, …).
+ *
+ * These tests model that EXACTLY at the Yjs level: a LIVE fragment whose blocks
+ * carry `indent: 0` + block ids, versus a git-derived fragment of the SAME
+ * content with neither — for a body built from BYTE-IDENTICAL units that each
+ * contain a heading, a paragraph, a callout, and a table with empty cells (the
+ * trigger). RED before the fix (the merge applies > 0 ops and the body grows),
+ * GREEN after (0 ops, no growth).

+ * insert/delete operations. Blocks that are byte-identical on both sides are
+ * left UNTOUCHED in the live doc — so a human editing one paragraph is unaffected
+ * when git changes a different paragraph, and an unchanged re-sync is a complete
+ * no-op (zero Yjs operations). Yjs then CRDT-merges the minimal ops with any
+ * concurrent edits.
+ *
+ * Merge mode: a THREE-WAY merge (live vs incoming vs base) runs whenever the
+ * engine plumbs the last-synced base (`baseMarkdown` from refs/docmost/last-pushed)
+ * — which it now does end-to-end — so a block both sides changed is a genuine

+ * Why the schema (not a hardcoded denylist): the LIVE Yjs document is produced by
+ * `TiptapTransformer.toYdoc(pm, 'default', tiptapExtensions)`, which STAMPS every
+ * schema-default attribute onto every node and mark — `indent: 0` on every
+ * paragraph/heading, `image.align: "center"`, the link mark's `internal: false`,
+ * `highlight.colorName: null`, and so on for youtube/pdf/any future node. A body
+ * re-imported from git comes through the engine's `markdownToProseMirror`, whose
+ * schema declares those attrs with DIFFERENT (usually null) defaults; the
+ * resulting null/absent element attrs are then DROPPED by `y-prosemirror`'s
+ * toYdoc. So the SAME block carries materialized defaults on the live side and
+ * nothing on the git side, its key diverges, the three-way merge anchors on
+ * NOTHING, and the whole body is RE-APPENDED every reconcile cycle — an unbounded

+ *
+ * Deriving the defaults from the actual schema normalizes ALL such attributes

+ * BOTH element attributes and the mark attributes inside each XmlText delta, so a
+ * live block compares equal to its git-round-tripped twin and an unchanged resync

+ * `schema-editor-ext-contract.test.ts` compares only node/mark TYPE NAMES, so a
+ * NEW ATTRIBUTE added to an existing node upstream slips through and its value is
+ * silently dropped on every git-sync round trip. That is a repeatedly-hit
+ * data-loss class (image caption #221, paragraph alignment #10, details `open`).
+ *
+ * This test closes the attribute gap MECHANICALLY: it builds the real canonical
+ * schema from the server's `tiptapExtensions` (the same set the collab write path
+ * uses) and the git-sync mirror schema, then asserts that for every node/mark the
+ * two schemas share, their ATTRIBUTE-KEY sets are equal — minus a committed
+ * allowlist of intentional, understood divergences. A forgotten attribute now
+ * fails CI loudly instead of losing data in production.
+ *
+ * WHY THIS ISN'T THE "fragile attribute compare" the sibling name-level contract
+ * (`packages/git-sync/test/schema-editor-ext-contract.test.ts`) deferred: that
+ * concern was about comparing raw extension CONFIGS, where editor-ext spreads
+ * global attributes (textAlign, id, …) across separate extensions and StarterKit
+ * contributes types the mirror gets elsewhere. We instead compare the RESOLVED
+ * ProseMirror `Schema` objects — `getSchema()` has already merged every
+ * addGlobalAttributes spread into concrete per-node attrs on both sides — so the
+ * compare is apples-to-apples (57 shared nodes/marks, only a handful of
+ * documented divergences) rather than config-shape noise.
