unkin-agent 7f65fc377c Document sync_interval for deb/alpine and fix created_at gate on existing rows (#176)
`sync_interval` is documented only for github_rpm, and the claim gate holding back remotes created inside the current slot also blocks remotes that already have a sync state row: the gate filters the INSERT SELECT, so ON CONFLICT never runs and a failed cold-cache prime waits a full slot instead of its backoff.

- document `sync_interval` for github_deb/github_alpine and in the caching field table
- apply the created_at gate only when no sync state row exists
- test 0→N and N→0 interval changes and the insert-only gate against Postgres
- test that a negative `sync_interval` on update returns 400

# `github_alpine` remote
Shared classification, TTL and eviction rules: [caching](../common/caching.md).
| Type | Mutable (auto-detected) | Immutable (auto-detected) |
|---|---|---|
| `github_alpine` | `APKINDEX.tar.gz` (synthesized) | `.apk` (redirected) |
## Release sync
A background syncer re-scans the GitHub releases list per remote, sharing one
lease per remote across replicas through `github_alpine_sync_state`.
- **`sync_interval`** (seconds) re-checks once per interval at a stable
per-remote offset, so remotes on the same interval spread out instead of
syncing together; its first scheduled sync waits for that slot (a cold-cache
request still primes at once). Unset, it re-checks no more often than its
`mutable_ttl`.
- A failed scan keeps serving the last good index and retries with exponential
backoff.
