feat(pipeline): skip extraction when the source has not changed (#105)

Ingest now stamps source_hash — sha256 of the ingested body, frontmatter
excluded — onto the source page, and compares it before doing any work. An
unchanged source returns Skipped with no LLM call at all.

This is cost and signal, not correctness: #103 already made a re-ingest
byte-identical, so a repeated run was harmless but not free — a full
extraction over every chunk to produce a result that merges to nothing.
Building this first would have put idempotency in the guard rather than in
the write, which is the wrong dependency direction.

Body-only hashing on purpose. A re-crawl that stamps a new fetch date has
not changed the source, and treating that as drift would re-extract the
whole corpus every time a crawler ran. A missing or unreadable hash always
means "extract": a missed skip costs one extraction, a wrong skip loses an
update silently, and silence is the failure mode this repo keeps paying
for.

The skip is reported (Result.Skipped plus a warning naming the hash), not
silent — a run that does nothing must say so, or "the pipeline is fine" and
"the pipeline stopped working" look identical (#107).

Storing the hash required settling who owns which frontmatter field. #103
made the on-disk block win wholesale, which protects human-set metadata
from a regenerating writer but froze fields the generator legitimately
owns. wiki.Merge now refreshes an explicit generatorOwned allowlist —
last_updated and source_hash — and keeps everything else on disk. An
allowlist rather than a carve-out, so a field nobody has thought about
stays human-owned by default. That also retires the last_updated
limitation #103 shipped with.

Refs #105, #103, #107, brain#21.
