Phase 4: access rules live in the instance database

Phase 4: access rules live in the instance database The ACL was one acl.json on refs/vole/acl: a ref only the server writes, read on every push and every request. It is configuration the instance owns, keyed by account id, and keeping it in git cost a commit, a compare-and-swap retry and a rev-parse per read to store a handful of rows — the argument that already moved the roster out of data/system.git, applied to the rules that name its accounts. It is now a row in data/users.db beside the roster, in the same file as the ids it refers to: - access.Store: repo_acl(repo_id, acl, updated, updated_by), one row per repository, keyed by the stable repository id so a rename moves nothing. - Meta.ACL reads the row; a repository with no row is deny-everything, exactly what a missing ref meant. - Meta.SetACL is one upsert, so SQLite orders concurrent edits and the CAS loop with its retries is gone. The author stays in the row and in data/audit.log, which is what the commit message used to say. - Deleting a repository forgets its rules, after the directory is gone. - repo.Store.ImportACLs reads refs/vole/acl once at startup for any repository without a row, so an existing instance keeps its rules. It never overwrites a row, and a second run imports nothing. - The index's acl_sha is a digest of the rules rather than the ACL commit id. - pre-receive reads the rules from VOLE_USERS_DB and makes GIT_DIR absolute before deriving the repository from it, since git hands a hook ".". What the ref bought — rules that travel with a clone — is what this gives up, deliberately: the rules are account ids, so a copy in a clone is unreadable without this instance's roster, and the backup that holds the accounts now holds them too. Measured: internal/repo imports rules from a real refs/vole/acl commit and is idempotent on a second run; internal/access covers round-trip, replacement, deletion and the audit line; the full suite — auth, site visibility, transport and pushes — runs against rules read from SQLite.
