Free unused attachments, and keep versions by count rather than by age
Two rules governed version retention: the newest 50 per note, and a sweep of anything past 90 days. The second was wrong. The count already bounds what a note can accumulate, so age only ever deleted history nothing had replaced — and it bit hardest exactly where history is most wanted, a note left alone for a quarter of a year losing its whole past for having done nothing. It is off unless VERSION_RETENTION_DAYS is set. How many versions to keep is now a notebook's own setting, falling back to the server default when left empty. A reference notebook can keep fifty of everything while a scratch one keeps three. That makes freeing attachments answerable. A picture taken out of a note cannot be deleted straight away: the versions from before still show it, and restoring one would find a hole. It is released once no current note and no kept version refers to it — which, with retention by count, is when the last version holding it is pushed out. The server cannot look for itself, bodies being encrypted, so the client reports a note's attachments on every save as it already does for links, and a version inherits what the note held when it was snapshotted — by definition what that version contains. Two things make it safe rather than merely plausible. Silence is not "uses nothing": a note written before this existed has no rows, which looks identical to one with no pictures, so nothing is released for a user while any of their notes has yet to report — the prefetch that fills the search index reports for them on its first pass. And an upload has a row before the note using it does, so recent attachments are left alone. POST /api/admin/housekeeping runs the sweep on demand. Caught while testing: the same block of markup had been pasted into the create-notebook dialog as well, where the state it referenced did not exist — the dialog crashed on open.
