fix(plugin): the sweep missed the arm that fires most — two ledger directories (#4101)
CI caught two things in c61f730, and the second is the one that mattered.

1. `scribe_autoinject.sh` keeps its note ledger in `${TMPDIR}/scribe-autoinject`,
   not `scribe-priorart`. Every ledger NAMED in the hooks was in the one
   directory the sweep visited, so it read as complete — and the arm that fires
   most (598 calls in five days) was the only one still carrying the bug. The
   clear ran, found nothing to remove, and exited 0. `SCRIBE_LEDGER_DIRS` in
   `scribe_defs.sh` is now the roster, and the guard reads that string rather
   than a copy of it, so a test can no longer agree with itself forever.

2. The convention guard over-reached: it flagged `<sid>.snap` and
   `<sid>.blocked`, which live in `scribe-afterwrite` and `scribe-reportcheck`
   and can never be touched by the sweep. It is now two tests keyed on the
   directory, because the two assumptions fail differently — one lets a ledger
   sit where nothing sweeps, the other lets it sit in the right place under a
   name the sweep does not match.

`test_only_the_rule_ledger_is_cleared_and_the_note_ledgers_are_left` also went
red, correctly: the note arms' exemption was a real decision, recorded in a
test, and my commit message said nothing about it had been decided. That was
wrong and the test was right to stop me. The decision is reversed rather than
ignored, and the reasoning is that #4101 removed its premise: it rested on a
note repeat being WITHHELD, so clearing the ledger meant re-injecting whole
menu lines the session already had. Now a repeat is rendered with a `seen`
marker, so the ledger only decides whether that marker is true — and across a
compaction it is false, telling a freshly-summarised session it has already
seen a record that is nowhere in its context. The test keeps its name and
records the reversal with the reason, rather than being deleted.

Verified by running the hook directly: all six ledgers across both directories
gone on `compact`, `<sid>.unreached` left standing.

"""A compaction clears every session ledger, by convention not by list (#4101).
WHY THIS EXISTS
Milestone 386 established the claim: a ledger describes what a session HOLDS,
so the events that destroy context must destroy it too, or the records it names
become permanently unreachable mid-session. `scribe_session_context.sh`
implemented that — for the rules ledger, by name.
Five ledgers live in that directory and two were on the list. The note arms'
three (`.ids`, `.sync.ids`, `.derive.ids`) were left, under a comment asserting
this was "a decision rather than an oversight". It was not a decision, and the
arms left out are the ones where it costs most:
- their exclusions are HARD — `exclude_ids` is passed into
`semantic_search_notes` itself, so a surfaced note leaves the result set
entirely, with no weaker rendering to fall back to the way #3750 gave a
repeated rule one;
- and they never AGE — #3751's TTL was added to the rules ledger only.
Hard, permanent and never cleared: a note surfaced in a session's first minute
is unreachable for the rest of it, through any number of compactions.
WHAT THIS PINS
The list was the bug, so the fix cannot be a longer list and neither can the
test. Both sides are asserted:
1. BEHAVIOUR — the hook is run on a real `compact` event with all five
ledgers on disk, and all five are gone afterwards. Run rather than
grepped, because grepping for the names is the hand-maintained pattern
this step removes.
2. THE CONVENTION THE BEHAVIOUR RESTS ON — every per-session ledger any hook
builds is named `<sid>[.<kind>].ids`. That is what makes a sixth ledger
covered on the day it is written, and it is the assumption that would
rot silently, because a ledger named outside it simply never clears and
nothing says so.
And the negative: `<sid>.unreached` is not a ledger of held context but a
record that the instance could not be reached, and a glob that swept it away
would make a hook forget an outage it is meant to report (#2932).
