peter bf99444ded feat(files): every file sits in a library folder, and keeps its own expiry
The Files library starts here. A user's every download, clip and upload now
lands in a source folder made per origin (YouTube, Plex clips, uploads, one per
other site), decided once in downloads/folders.py at every place a job is made.
How long a file stays moves from the shared asset to the user's job: stamped
from its folder when it is done, never for a file the user keeps. The GC warns
each user once, then takes the expired file out of their library; the cache cap
never evicts a kept file, and an evicted one leaves every holder's library.

The media mount is /files now (FILES_ROOT, FILES_HOST_PATH, volume
siftlode_files); docs/self-hosting.md says how to carry an old volume over.
Migration 0102 places every existing job and carries each done file's expiry
over from its asset.

safe_abs_path takes a missing path and answers None, which drops one baselined
type error.

"""Download retention garbage collector (a scheduler job).
Five passes each run:
1. Pre-expiry warning — a done file whose `expires_at` (its folder's retention, `folders`) falls
within the grace window, and that its user did not keep, warns its user once (`expiry_warned`).
2. Expiry — such a file past its `expires_at` leaves the library: the job is deleted and its hold
released, so the shared file goes with its last holder.
3. LRU eviction — if a total cache cap is set and exceeded, delete least-recently-accessed ready
assets (never an upload, never one a user kept) until back under it; each holder's file leaves
their library, with a notice.
4. Orphan reap — delete errored, fileless, unreferenced asset rows (they carry no TTL, so
passes 1-3 skip them; benign row-count hygiene).
5. Orphan FILE sweep — delete on-disk files/dirs no surviving asset owns (cruft left when a
re-download renames an asset, e.g. old accented channel dirs, or an upload's stranded file).
It skips the dot-prefixed system trees (all but `.uploads`) and anything newer than an hour,
so an in-flight download is never touched.
Runs in the API process (which mounts FILES_ROOT). Pure disk/DB work — no YouTube quota.
