Adds the two wonder rows that were deliberately withheld on 2026-08-11
while the pre-55f2889 SHA was unsettled. It is settled: b948e69 (08-09)
and 0a9715d (08-11) were never competing claims about one binary, they
are two deploys two days apart.
What settled it is worth recording as a technique in its own right, so
it goes in as a fourth way to identify a build: each Server.bak.<ts>
holds the exe that deploy REPLACED, so a VersionInfo sweep across the
backups reconstructs a host's deploy history from the host alone — no
repo access, no deploy record. The subtlety that makes it readable is
that a backup's timestamp dates the NEXT deploy, not the build inside
it. Reading a file version is non-destructive, unlike opening a SQLite
store in a backup directory.
Also records the full garbage version stamp recovered from the 08-09
binary, because the failure mode is a false positive rather than a
blank: "0.1.2+fatal:..." reads like a version that succeeded and then
picked up noise, when the leading 0.1.2 is just the static base <Version>
every build carries. For a binary in that window the commit is not
recoverable from the binary at all, so finding nothing is the expected
result rather than evidence against a SHA established another way.
Provenance is stated per cell rather than uniformly: the worker SHAs on
the new rows are carried forward and marked unconfirmed, b948e69 rests
on PDB hash plus the contemporaneous record and never on a stamp, and
55f2889 was read from the live stamp, which is trustworthy only because
it postdates 0152180.
