fix(qmd): bump SQLite busy_timeout to 30s + add MCP RSS supervisor (i-6sw24v09)

Per-session qmd MCP processes were timing out on `qmd_query`/`qmd_status`
calls when a `qmd-cron embed` job was holding writer locks. Empirical
runs on the Oivo fleet show `qmd embed` taking 6-31 minutes per cycle
on a 30-min schedule, while the better-sqlite3 default `busy_timeout`
was only 5s. Concurrent reader queries from the ~14 sister MCP
processes hit SQLITE_BUSY before the embed completed, surfacing as MCP
transport timeouts (~30s). `qmd_get` was unaffected because document-
body retrieval bypasses the FTS5/vec contention path.

Phase 2 mitigation — `applyConcurrencyPragmas` in `src/store.ts` sets
WAL-friendly defaults (each overridable via env):

  busy_timeout       = 30000   (was 5000 — better-sqlite3 default)
  synchronous        = NORMAL  (was FULL — safe in WAL, faster commits)
  temp_store         = MEMORY  (was DEFAULT — keep FTS5 sort scratch in RAM)
  cache_size         = -65536  (~64 MiB; was -2000 / 2 MiB)
  mmap_size          = 256 MiB (was 0)
  wal_autocheckpoint = 1000    (explicit; was driver default)

Phase 3 defense — `startRssSupervisor` in `src/mcp/server.ts` poll-checks
this MCP process's RSS and `process.exit(1)`s when it crosses
QMD_MCP_RSS_LIMIT_BYTES, letting the parent respawn a fresh handle.
Default OFF (env=0); opt in by setting e.g. 2147483648 (2 GiB). This
contains the blast radius of any future memory leak in the search /
expansion path without re-architecting the per-session MCP model.

Tests in `test/lock-contention.test.ts` (15 cases): pragma defaults,
env-override behavior, RSS supervisor lifecycle (triggers/no-trigger/
log-shape/exception-resilience), createStore integration. The dynamic
writer-collision test was intentionally omitted — better-sqlite3 is
synchronous and single-threaded, so intra-process busy_timeout
deadlocks on its own JS timer; production behavior across separate
MCP OS processes is delegated to SQLite-the-library.

Forensic snapshots stashed at /srv/tmp/oivo-task-outputs/qmd-{runaway,
cron-journal,sqlite-probe}-* document the empirical trace. The 5.4 GB
"runaway" PID was VSZ misread; actual RSS was ~177 MB idle in
do_epoll_wait. Index integrity_check returned `ok` in 42.8s — DB was
fine, just slow under contention.

Out of scope per issue: replacing qmd, multi-machine lock coord,
re-architecting per-session MCP daemons.

+// Phase 2 functional note
+// =============================================================================
+//
+// We deliberately do NOT include an intra-process writer-collision test for
+// busy_timeout here. better-sqlite3 is synchronous and single-threaded:
+// when one connection in this Node process holds a writer lock and a
+// second connection in the SAME process attempts a write, the second
+// connection's busy_timeout sleep blocks the V8 event loop, which means
+// the JS timer that would release the first connection's lock can never
+// fire — busy_timeout always exhausts and SQLITE_BUSY is raised. This is
+// a constraint of better-sqlite3's synchronous binding model, not of
+// SQLite itself. In production qmd MCP processes are separate OS
+// processes, so busy_timeout works as expected.
+//
+// The unit tests above prove the production behavior we control: that
+// `applyConcurrencyPragmas` sets a 30 s busy_timeout (vs the 5 s default).
+// The functional behavior under inter-process contention is delegated to
+// SQLite-the-library, which we don't need to retest.
