Chris 77a36d92a3 fix(decommission): let a failed start roll back its own activation (#8752)
* fix(decommission): let a failed start roll back its own activation

A fresh decommission start whose peer reload failed could not roll back:
the pool metadata stale-write guard from #6604 refuses any save that
clears a persisted active or queued decommission, so the pool stayed
active with no worker until the watchdog or a leader restart picked it
up.

The rollback save now carries the activation that start committed. The
guard exempts a pool only while its persisted record still equals that
activation field for field, so a worker checkpoint or a later start
keeps the rejection. A canceled record is not an active decommission
and is cleared by the rollback as well. Every other save path passes no
activation and is guarded as before.

A peer may already have reloaded the activation and started a worker
before the rollback. Saves are now fenced by decommission generation: a
write carrying a start_time is rejected when the persisted record
belongs to a later start, or has no decommission state and was updated
after that start_time, so such a worker cannot make the pool active
again. Its queued promotion and progress checkpoint also adopt the
persisted record and stop the worker.

* fix(decommission): fence terminal writes of a withdrawn decommission

Terminal records carry no start_time, so the generation fence did not
cover them: after a start rollback, a peer worker of the rolled back
generation that failed (for example on a bucket completion) could still
persist a failed record over the restored pool. The merge now rejects a
failed, canceled or complete record over a persisted record without
decommission state; every attempt persists decommission state first, so
no legitimate path writes a terminal record there.

Peers also drop a withdrawn decommission sooner. A pool metadata reload
replaces a running decommission with a newer record that withdrew it,
even under an active worker; bucket completion adopts such a record like
promotion and progress checkpoints do; and a withdrawn progress
checkpoint stops the worker instead of logging a failed save and moving
more entries.

Tests cover the peer failure mark, a rollback retry that sees a worker
checkpoint land between attempts, and the reload withdrawal. A heal
fixture that wrote complete records over a fresh pool.bin now persists
the active attempt first.

* fix(decommission): fence peer writes after a retry start rollback

A retry start replaces a failed or canceled record that keeps its
unresolved ledger, so its rollback restores that terminal record rather
than clearing the pool. The withdrawal checks only recognized a record
without decommission state, and the generation fence ignored a persisted
record without a start_time. A peer worker of the rolled back retry
could therefore checkpoint the pool back to active.

The generation fence now compares the persisted last_update whenever
the persisted record has no start_time of its own (cleared, terminal or
queued). The progress checkpoint also checks the generation against the
record read under the pool metadata lock, as bucket completion already
does, and the save-path withdrawal check treats a terminal record newer
than the running view as a withdrawal, so the peer adopts it and stops.

A reload still never lets a newer terminal record replace an active
worker's view, so after a retry's rollback a peer worker stops at its
next bucket completion or progress checkpoint rather than on reload.

Tests cover the retry rollback against a peer checkpoint and direct
write, and a peer bucket completion after a fresh start's rollback.

* fix(decommission): keep a retry rollback's restored record intact

After a retry start rolls back, the restored record is failed, so a
peer worker's own failure mark passed every merge guard and replaced
it. A failure mark now saves through save_current_pool_meta_checked,
which runs the withdrawal check against the record read under the pool
metadata lock and adopts that record instead of writing.

The withdrawal check compared the restored record with the worker's
in-memory last_update, which a rejected save had already raised, so the
peer never adopted the rollback and the watchdog kept resuming it. It
now compares against the running generation (start_time), and a
rejected unresolved-entry save undoes its in-memory change.

save_current_pool_meta_for_decommission_start is also compiled for the
test-util feature again; a test-util helper still calls it, which broke
the workspace clippy and Connect builds.

* fix(decommission): keep an unresolved entry when its own save fails

The rollback of a rejected unresolved-entry save also dropped the entry
on transient failures such as a quorum or lock-fence error, so the
following failure mark persisted a failed record without it and an
operator could clear a decommission that skipped an unreadable object.
Keep the entry and undo only the last_update bump, which is all a
withdrawn worker needs to still see the withdrawal.
