feat(rules): a rule can carry its own check — verify_with, expires_when, verified_at (#3095, milestone 312 step 1)
A rulebook holds two kinds of row in one table. A NORM is a decision: no truth value, changes only when its author changes it, and they know they did. A CONSTRAINT asserts a fact about someone else's software, and goes false with nobody present. Milestone 307's audit found nine stale sites; every one was a constraint, and not one norm had rotted. Three nullable columns so a rule can say how to check itself. expires_when is a STATE, not a date — constraints expire when the ground moves, not on a schedule. verified_at NULL means never checked and sorts FIRST in the sweep to come: unexamined outranks examined-long-ago. Most rules set none of the three; a null verify_with is the marker for "this is a decision, there is nothing to go and check," and it only reads that way while it stays honest. Nothing is backfilled and nothing is indexed. A migration cannot invent a check any more than 0088 could invent a trigger, and the sweep reads a whole rulebook — hundreds of rows, on operator demand, never on a request path. Also, in the backup service the fields had to pass through: - Restore now remaps arose_from_id through note_id_map. It has been exported since 0088 and silently dropped on the way back in ever since, so every restore lost every rule's provenance link. - _dt_or_none, because _dt substitutes now() for an absent value. That is right for created_at/updated_at and wrong here: a rule nobody ever checked would restore looking freshly checked and fall to the bottom of the sweep it should top. Column additions do not move BACKUP_VERSION; only new sections do, as when 0088 added when_to_apply/tier/arose_from_id to the same helper.
