The window used to count every terminal row, so 50+ failed deploys pushed the last good artifact out of it.
Now the newest KeepSealed (>= 1) Sealed rows keep their blob, failed rows are prunable unless referenced in
the ReferencedDays window. Pinned: 60 TimedOut + 1 old Sealed -> Sealed retained, 60 TimedOut emptied.

Every deploy stored the whole gzip'd fleet snapshot in Deployment.ArtifactBlob forever (R03:1.2).
DeploymentRetentionActor (admin singleton, proxy-less) sweeps every Deployments:Retention:
IntervalMinutes (60): terminal rows (Sealed / PartiallyFailed / TimedOut) older than the newest
KeepSealed (50) and not referenced by a NodeDeploymentState started/applied within ReferencedDays
(30) get their blob EMPTIED — never deleted, never NULLed: the column stays NOT NULL and every
reader already treats zero bytes as "no artifact" (#485), so no schema migration and no reader
change. In-flight rows are never touched; MaxRowsPerSweep (200) bounds one sweep.
