Purging history refuses outright when the file cannot be safely rewritten

Sessions

Purging history now fails loudly if the history file can't be safely rewritten.

What

Counting and rewriting history.jsonl now raise an error saying the file was not rewritten when the history file is a symlink or not a regular file, or when the read or rewrite is declined, instead of failing quietly.

Details
  • The code prefers an optional storage backend for the paged scan and rewrite; that backend is never constructed in this build, so the existing line-by-line path is what actually runs.
  • Failure telemetry is now reported per failure code, with multiple_failures when more than one code occurs, rather than a blanket config_write_failed.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
