fix: import attested empty legacy gear offline

[ryanbarlow97]

Magic 0.5.2 normally saves zero bytes when no gear stations remain. Add an explicit stopped import for that exact legacy representation, requiring an allowlisted producer JAR, a fresh checkpoint, retained lineage evidence and an exact metadata/content baseline. Other empty or damaged documents retain their runtime hold.

The helper keeps verified original bytes and a durable attestation/plan before publication, preserves mode/owner/group, then records success only after the canonical empty mapping verifies. Matching owner/group IDs are left unchanged. Runtime code and the published JAR are unchanged.

Validation: 41 Python tests; 450/450 stale-baseline repeats on ext4 under umasks 0027, 0022 and 0002; allowlist mutation negative controls; actual 0.5.2 CLI preview/apply/replay; actual 0.6.0 producer refusal; actual published 0.6.0 reads the output as zero stations without writes or histories. All 246 runtime classes remain identical.

Current CI runs Maven and artifact validation; it does not run the recovery suite. The operator must run the Python suite at the merged SHA before use. Fresh full review and current CI remain required.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added a guarded option to import eligible empty gear-station files from approved legacy archives. Previewing does not modify files; applying requires verified baseline and lineage evidence, plus a new backup.
  • The import checks the archive and existing station data, preserves file ownership and permissions, and verifies the published result.
  • Ineligible imports are refused. Failures after publication are reported as unconfirmed, with a non-zero command-line exit status.
  • Outside import mode, station inspection defaults to estates; existing journal inspection and rollback remain available.

The tool adds a legacy-empty import mode for gear-stations.yml. It checks import eligibility and required evidence, then stages and verifies canonical data before replacing the file. The CLI reports refusal and unconfirmed publication outcomes.

Changes: Legacy empty import

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Import eligibility and evidence tools/gear-ownership.py, tools/test_gear_ownership.py	The tool checks the producer digest, data and station paths, station contents, hard-link count and existing history. Tests cover preview, canonical replay and invalid inputs.
Attested staged publication tools/gear-ownership.py, tools/test_gear_ownership.py	Apply requires a matching baseline, attestation and new external backup. The tool stages and verifies canonical bytes before replacement. Tests cover ownership, backup failures, races, cleanup and post-publication outcomes.
CLI mode and outcome handling tools/gear-ownership.py, tools/test_gear_ownership.py	The CLI adds legacy-import options, rejects incompatible options, and exits with status 2 for refused or unconfirmed imports. Tests check these rules.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c1100

This adds an opt-in, guarded offline import for an attested empty legacy station file. Failures before replacement refuse safely, and failures after replacement are reported with recovery guidance. No merge-blocking issue remains. Run the Python recovery suite at the merged SHA before using the tool.

- Line 588: Update the staged station-file flow around os.fchmod to apply the
recorded uid and gid from record["station"] before os.fsync. Include ownership
in the pre-publication staging checks and post-publication verification
alongside the existing mode checks, so ownership mismatches are refused rather
than reported as imported.
