feat: evict closed issues from the local store

The store is a working set, not an archive. Until now nothing removed a
closed issue from it: #10 put a filter on the write and said so explicitly
("existing store files are not cleaned"), and the migration was never
anybody's job. The only way out was rm past every script, followed by
rebuilding INDEX.md by hand.

issue_evict.py removes <id>.md and every sidecar under that slug for an
issue that is state: closed AND carries an origin: naming a tracker, then
rebuilds INDEX.md. --dry-run prints and writes nothing at all.

Two conditions, and the second one is the whole safety argument. An
origin: local issue IS the work — there is no other copy — so it is never
evicted, in any state, not even when named on the command line: it is
reported and kept. The only files that go are ones whose own metadata says
pull.py <n> brings them back, which is the trade push.py already makes
when it drops a file the tracker just confirmed.

The command lives in the domain layer, and the layering rule decides that
rather than convenience: state: and origin: are domain fields and the
answer is already on disk, so eviction needs no network, no login and no
tea. The domain also gains issue.slug_files — every file the store holds
under one slug, which is all_ids' "a slug has no dot in it" read the other
way round, and lets the domain remove an issue completely without learning
what a comment thread is.

skills/sync/scripts/evict.py is the bridge form, and it exists because a
local state: is only as fresh as the last pull: an issue closed in the web
UI still reads open here. It refreshes state: from Gitea, then calls
issue_evict.run — one implementation of "what may be evicted", in the
layer that owns the fields it reads. Same gate as push, one step earlier:
every candidate's state is fetched before anything is removed, each answer
must be an object carrying the number asked about and a state the domain
recognizes (confirmed_state, the counterpart of confirmed_number), and a
failed or unconfirmed call evicts nothing — not even the candidates whose
answers had already arrived, and no refreshed state: is written back
either. A candidate is an issue with a gitea: handle; origin: local has
none, is never asked about, and is never removed.

.remote.json is deliberately not pruned. It is the number -> slug ledger,
its entries are supposed to outlive the files they name, and an evicted
issue is in exactly the state a pushed one is.

AGENTS.md gains the rule the tracker side never wrote down: pull by number
fetches an issue in any state — an address is not a query. Eviction does
not revoke it, so a closed issue pulled after a cleanup is on disk again,
and that is the tracker answering what it was asked.

It is not a *permanent* state, and this is the one place where the file's fate
depends on it:
It is not a *permanent* state, and it is what the file's fate depends on:
| `origin:` | what the file is | what a push does to it |
|---|---|---|
| `local` | the issue itself — the only copy there is | creates it in the tracker, then deletes the file |
| a tracker | a working copy of something the tracker already has | updates the tracker, then deletes the file |
| `origin:` | what the file is | what a push does to it | what eviction does to it |
|---|---|---|---|
| `local` | the issue itself — the only copy there is | creates it in the tracker, then deletes the file | **nothing, ever** — in any state, named or not |
| a tracker | a working copy of something the tracker already has | updates the tracker, then deletes the file | removes it once `state: closed` |
**A successful push deletes `tmp/issues/<id>.md`** (and `<id>.comments.md`), on
create and on `--update` alike. What is in the store is what has not left this
machine; everything else is fetched again when it is needed. The rule, its
safety conditions, and how the slug survives are `/tea:sync`'s to state.
**A closed issue is evicted from the store** by `issue_evict.py` — same trade,
one condition more: the work is done *and* it exists somewhere else. An
`origin: local` issue is never evicted, because there is nowhere to fetch it
back from. The store is a working set, not an archive; `pull.py <n>` fetches a
closed issue again whenever it is wanted.
The `id` never changes across that round trip, which is why `depends:` in other
issues keeps working. That is the format's promise; the mechanism is not.
