beardthelion 317841ee24 fix(node): fence the release publish so an abandoned upload cannot win
acquire_write now reads the archive's ETag under the advisory lock and the guard
carries it, so release publishes conditionally on the generation it actually
refreshed from. An upload abandoned by an earlier writer no longer overwrites a
successor's archive: the store rejects it, because the ETag it was written
against is gone.

A refused precondition gets exactly one supersede-retry, never a loop. The
distinction that makes this sound is that a 412 is a definite answer, unlike the
timeout arm where nothing is knowable, and the retrying writer still holds the
lock, so whatever landed underneath was written without one and its tree is not
the authority. Two losses in a row refuse instead of escalating.

That retry is what keeps ordinary pushes working now that init publishes
create-only: a first push racing init's upload of the empty repo loses once and
then wins, rather than surfacing a 503 on the most common operation there is.

release returns a must-use outcome and the four publishing handlers propagate it
before any trust bump, webhook, or success body, so a publish the store refused
reads as a retryable 503 instead of a 201. The three release(false) sites
deliberately do not map it: they publish nothing, and a 503 there would shadow
the 403 or 404 the route means to return.

The download-failure fallback also publishes fenced now. That arm knows the
stored generation (its HEAD succeeded, only the GET failed), so publishing
unconditionally from it would reintroduce the same overwrite.
