"""A rule's edit history — the snapshot taken when an edit overwrites text.
Sibling of `note_versions`, and the differences are the whole design.
WHAT A VERSION IS FOR. It records what a rule USED TO SAY, because an update
overwrites that and nothing can recompute it. It is not a record of the rule's
lifecycle: a soft delete keeps the rule row whole and restorable, so there is
nothing to preserve at delete time, and anything that outlived a purge would be
data the operator explicitly asked to be gone.
WHAT IS DELIBERATELY NOT COPIED FROM note_versions (milestone 323). Both of its
guards defend against note autosave, which fires every 60 seconds and would
otherwise burn every slot. Rules have no autosave — every version here comes
from a deliberate `update_rule` — so both guards would only ever discard a real
edit:
- No `MIN_VERSION_INTERVAL_SECONDS`. Two deliberate edits four minutes apart
are two edits.
- No `MAX_VERSIONS` and no pruning. A rule is edited a handful of times in its
life; a cap invites losing the one edit somebody needed.
TEXT ONLY. A rule's topic, its Systems tags and its typed edges are not here.
They have their own lifecycle, and folding them in would make one word,
"version", mean two things — the rule's wording, and the rule's place in the
graph.

a separate session could leave a snapshot behind after the update it
