Addresses review on #29:
- drop errtrace: a failure inside $(...) printed two RESULT lines
- explicit failures go through fail(), which always prints
RESULT: FAILED stage=...; idx check gets its own `preflight` stage;
the never-failing published-manifest read is no longer a stage
- validate the built latest_as_of_date (`// empty` + date regex) so a
corrupt manifest cannot compare as "newer"
- freshness: validate --now (exit 2) and latest_as_of_date (exit 3)
before calling date
- flake: package an explicit script list instead of scripts/*.sh
- docs: GH_TOKEN prerequisite for the packaged publisher

The self-hosted publish timer has not produced an upload since it was
enabled (manifest last updated 2026-07-14, a manual run), and failures
were invisible. Make the job safe to run daily and easy to deploy:
- publish-ownership-snapshot.sh: skip the upload when the published
manifest already has the latest as-of date (pre-check via discover
for XLSX sources, post-build check for legacy PDF); --force to
override. Always ends with one line: RESULT: published|up-to-date
<as-of> or RESULT: FAILED stage=<stage> (exit N). gh release create
no longer requires a git checkout.
- check-ownership-snapshot-freshness.sh: exit 1 when the published
latest_as_of_date is older than --max-age-days (default 40).
- flake: packages.ownership-publisher bundles the scripts with a
pinned idx (curl-impersonate + mupdf) and jq/gh/sqlite/curl as
bin/idx-ownership-publish and bin/idx-ownership-freshness, so hosts
need no checkout, nix develop or cargo build at run time. Built in CI.
- contrib/systemd + docs: daily 06:00 UTC timer, run semantics table,
freshness alarm, packaged usage.
