feat: background syncer for github_rpm remotes (#108)
## Why Builds on #107 (merged), which derives `github_rpm` RPM metadata lazily on the client request path, single-flighted per replica. Two problems remain: the derive still happens per replica, so across a multi-replica deployment the same releases are scanned and re-derived N times, multiplying GitHub queries; and a cold cache blocks the first request on a full derive. GitHub's rate limits are low (~60/hr unauthenticated, ~5000/hr authenticated), so this needs a single coordinated syncer with a shared rate limit and conditional requests. ## How - Add a single per-process background syncer (started at boot, cleanly stopped on shutdown) that owns a deduped/coalescing work queue, a worker pool, and one global token-bucket rate limiter (`golang.org/x/time/rate`) bound onto the github provider so every GitHub call (releases list + each ranged asset GET) acquires a token first. - Re-check each `github_rpm` remote for new/changed releases on its existing `mutable_ttl` cadence; derive only new/changed assets incrementally and prune assets that disappear upstream. Repodata is served from primed DB rows. - Prime metadata in the background on remote creation; the create call returns immediately. - Send the stored releases-list `ETag` as `If-None-Match`; a `304` derives nothing and is not counted against GitHub's rate limit, so an unchanged repo is nearly free. - Coordinate replicas through a `github_rpm_sync_state` row (`last_synced_at`, `etag`, `sync_lease_owner`, `sync_lease_expires`): a periodic scan runs only for the replica that atomically claims the lease, bounding total GitHub load to ~once per `mutable_ttl` regardless of replica count; the ETag is shared through the same row. - Keep the request path fast: serve current cache, enqueue a prime on an empty cache, and return a bounded wait then a retryable `503` rather than blocking on a cold derive. - Add `GITHUB_SYNC_RATE` / `GITHUB_SYNC_BURST` / `GITHUB_SYNC_WORKERS` / `GITHUB_SYNC_POLL_INTERVAL` config with conservative defaults (1 req/s, burst 5, 3 workers, 60s tick) and document the syncer in the README. ## Tests - Unit (httptest, Range/ETag-aware fixture): `304` releases response derives nothing; incremental derive fetches only the newly added asset; the shared limiter caps request rate; work-queue enqueues coalesce to one job; prime enqueues a job; a held lease stops a second replica from scanning; cold-start serves `503` while warm cache serves `200`. - DB integration (testcontainers postgres): the real lease SQL — one holder at a time, recency gate blocks a too-soon periodic re-claim, prime (freshness 0) bypasses recency but respects a live lease. - Docker e2e re-run: `dnf install dotvault` works; prime-on-create derives in the background at ~1 req/s (global limiter); `dnf makecache` served fast from the priming cache (no cold block); clean shutdown mid-scan, no panics. ## Notes - Reuses `mutable_ttl` as the check interval (no new per-remote field), per brief.
