Sightings: a Reader report defers a Poll of a solitary Series (#103) (#108)

Closes #103.

A userscript PUT already carries the Latest Chapter the Reader's own browser read off the Series page. It may now stand in for a Poll, under one restriction and one ceiling:

- **Solitary Series only** — a Series two Readers share is Polled on schedule however recently it was sighted, so one Reader's mistake can never reach another's list.
- **One rest of standing**, and a **six-rest ceiling** (`sightingCeilingRests`, counted in the Site's own Rest): however many Sightings arrive, an unpolled Series is Polled.

Both live in the due query's HAVING clause (`Store.DueForLatestCheck`) — the same place the schedule has always been decided, so no timer and no second code path can disagree with it. No new query per scheduler round.

Judgement costs no extra request. `Poller.checkOne` already compares what the Site publishes against what is stored: a lower number contradicts the Sighting (Reader and both numbers logged), the same number confirms it, a higher number is the Site publishing and clears the attribution instead. Three contradictions stop that Reader deferring — their reports still write the Latest Chapter — and twenty consecutive confirmations forgive them, as does the owner's clear-marks control from #102.

One client change was required: both userscripts skipped the PUT when the number had not moved, so the case the whole mechanism exists for — visiting a Series with nothing new — never reached the backend. `reportLatestChapter` sends it, skipping only the local write and the re-render. A numberless PUT (favourite toggle, progress from a chapter page) is no Sighting and defers nothing.

Schema: migration `0011_series_sightings.sql` adds `series.latest_sighted_at` and `series.latest_raised_by`. Trust model, thresholds, and rejected alternatives with their citations: `docs/adr/0011-sighting-deferral-trust-model.md`.

Reviewed on both axes (spec against #103, standards against the repo's rules); the blocker — attribution surviving a Poll that overtook the report — is fixed and has a test that fails without the fix.

Verification: `go test ./...` green (needs Docker), `node --test userscript/test/*.test.js` 66 pass.

**Sightings** (issue #103, ADR-0011) let a Reader's own page read defer a
Poll: `Store.RecordSighting` — called by the PUT handler *before* the Upsert,
because the raise test needs the row as it stands — stamps
`series.latest_sighted_at` and, when the report raises the stored number,
names its Reader in `series.latest_raised_by`. The due query's HAVING clause
is where deferral lives: a Series is skipped only while it has exactly one
Bookmark, was sighted within one Rest, and is under the ceiling
(`sightingCeilingRests`, six of that Site's rests) since its last Poll. So a
shared Series is never deferred, and no Series goes six hours unpolled
whatever arrives. `checkOne` judges the named Reader off the comparison it
already makes: a lower number is a contradiction (logged with the Reader and
both numbers), the same number an agreement, a higher number the Site
publishing and neither — that last one clears the attribution instead, since
the value the Poll then stores is its own and a later retraction is not the
Reader's fault. Three contradictions
(`store.SightingDisagreementLimit`) stop that Reader deferring — their
reports still write the Latest Chapter — and twenty consecutive agreements
(`store.SightingAgreementsToClear`) forgive them, as does the owner's
clear-marks control. Deferral is recomputed from live facts every round, so
nothing needs invalidating when a Series gains a second Bookmark; the one
input read earlier is the Reader's marks, checked when the Sighting is
recorded, so crossing the threshold or being cleared takes effect from that
Reader's next Sighting and the standing already bought lasts out its rest.
