fix(ingestion): close the PR #159 review findings on the symlink tripwire
- Startup passed on ANY scan error: WalkDir stopped at the first
  unreadable dir and Scan discarded what it had found, while search
  kept walking and served a planted symlink. Scan now records
  unreadable dirs and keeps going; startup refuses on symlinks or
  unreadable dirs and only lets a missing brain dir pass.
- Watch went silent while a scan error persisted, and marked a set as
  reported before Notify, so an ntfy outage lost the alert. It now
  alerts on unreadable dirs and scan errors too, and records a set as
  reported only after Notify succeeds (retried each tick).
- Only the root .git is skipped; a nested .git is scanned.
- A non-positive BRAIN_SYMLINK_SCAN_INTERVAL fell into time.NewTicker
  and crashlooped the server; it now falls back to the default.
- Findings are quoted in alerts, so a newline in a name cannot merge
  two sets; alertingWarnings names the tripwire when ntfy is unset.
- Test names match what they assert (two-set dedupe, symlinked entries
  inside a symlinked root, nested .git).

Flipped: startup ignoring unreadable dirs, .git skipped at any depth,
and no retry each turn a test red. Watch tests stable over -count=10
and under -race.
