jx12n 5ed2edb211 feat(m11): quorum-acked writes — ack=leader|quorum, commit index, durable frontier reports (m11p3)
ack=quorum gates replicated writes on a majority of the replica set durably
holding them: followers push their durably-applied frontier (ReportApplied,
once per apply round, decoupled from ship acks), the leader folds frontier
reports + ship-ack hints + heal resumes into a leadership-scoped CommitIndex
(k-th-largest durable mark), and handlers await it through an async
watch-channel bridge (zero parked threads per waiter). Honest timeouts:
retryable 503 naming the laggards; x-tidal-seq on every cluster write.
Follower blob applies are batched under group-commit fsyncs (22x seeding).
Exit gate: 167/167 leader-SIGKILL kill points, zero acked-write loss.

Seven-dimension review pass (all confirmed findings fixed):
- WAL blob drain now ABORTS on the first write failure instead of reusing
  the failed seqno mid-drain (a torn record buried mid-segment would
  truncate every later acked record on replay)
- apply_replicated_blobs waits every staged append even after a mid-batch
  failure, parses metadata once, and moves records into Arcs shared with
  the WAL writer (no deep clone per record on the follower apply path)
- CommitIndex: zero-peer fast path now respects demotion (active checked
  under lock before the single-replica return), k-th-largest uses
  select_nth over a reused scratch buffer
- await_quorum: re-reads the index once after the deadline fires (no false
  503 for a write that committed in the race window), warns when the
  commit-watch bridge dies outside shutdown, zero-peer path checks active
- notify_applied report failures: WARN on the first failure of a streak,
  INFO on recovery (a silently stalling frontier reads as unexplained
  quorum 503s); receiver skips re-notifying unadvanced frontiers
- x-tidal-deduplicated: 1 marks dedup-suppressed signal writes (relayed
  through forwards) so durability cursors can tell dedup from no-seqno
- docs: 167/167 kill-point record corrected in CHANGELOG; rolling-upgrade
  order (leader first — a pre-m11p3 leader silently downgrades quorum
  requests to leader-ack) in CHANGELOG + runbook §8; monitoring note for
  report-loss diagnosis on the quorum-timeout alert

Verified: workspace clippy -D warnings (incl. cluster-e2e targets), full
tidaldb/tidal-net/tidal-server/tidalctl suites green, tier-3 multi-process
quorum suite green (8/8 kill points, zero acked loss, partition gate/recover).

//! Tier-3 quorum-ack suite (m11p3, REAL multi-process cluster).
//!
//! Two pillars:
//!
//! 1. **Quorum semantics under partition** — `ack=quorum` writes succeed
//! while a majority is reachable, fail fast (retryable 503 naming the
//! laggards) when it is not, never disturb `ack=leader` traffic, and
//! recover after heal.
//! 2. **The ledger checker (the m11p3 exit gate)** — SIGKILL the leader
//! under concurrent `ack=quorum` load, across many distinct kill points,
//! and prove ZERO acknowledged-write loss: every write the client saw a
//! 2xx + `x-tidal-seq` for is present on the promoted survivor.
//!
//! The proof is two-layered per kill point:
//! - **Frontier**: a quorum ack for seqno S means some follower's
//! CONTIGUOUS applied frontier reached S (durably — m11p3 acks are
//! post-apply). The operator rule "promote the max-applied survivor"
//! therefore guarantees the promoted node holds EVERY acked seqno:
//! `max(acked seq) <= max(survivor applied_events)` is asserted before
//! the promote.
//! - **Content**: every acked ITEM is found via `/search` on the new
//! leader (the frontier can't lie about data it doesn't have, but this
//! catches a frontier that lies about data it has).
//!
//! Kill-point count: `TIDAL_QUORUM_KILLPOINTS` (default 8 for CI; the
//! exit-gate run is 100 — see docs/planning/milestone-11/phase-3.md for
//! the recorded run).
//!
//! Run: `cargo test -p tidal-server --features cluster-e2e --test cluster_quorum -- --nocapture`
