Deleting a post, editing media out, replacing an avatar or a header, and removing a whole root deleted no file: every
one stayed on disk and publicly served from /media/files with a year-long immutable cache, its row orphaned. Now every
upload is a row, profile pictures too (Kind avatar or header, ProfileOfAvatarId), and each of those acts trashes what
it held, as does an upload never posted for a day and a dropped scheduled post. A trashed row is marked in one
conditional update (an upload attached meanwhile is left alone), its files move into media-trash, beside the media
root and outside what /media/files serves, and the janitor deletes them a day later. Nothing is deleted for looking
unused.
Along the way: a profile picture that isn't an image, or can't be read, answers 422 instead of being silently ignored
with a 200; a removed root's scheduled posts are dropped, so nothing of it publishes later; media rows get indexes
(they had none), and the janitor's first pass comes five minutes after boot instead of an hour.
`PrivaPub admin media audit [--fix]` compares the disk with the database. With --fix (as www-data) it gives the
pictures personas show today a row, and trashes media of deleted posts or personas, rows whose files are missing, and
files nothing holds: the leftovers of every deletion until now. MediaLifecycleTests covers each act, that the trash is
never served, and the audit.

POST /api/v1/statuses with scheduled_at no longer posts at once: the post is
kept as asked (at least five minutes ahead; 300 waiting, 25 a day, as
Mastodon allows), its media kept from the janitor, and a PublishScheduled job
publishes it at its time as the persona. scheduled_statuses lists, moves and
drops them; a moved post's old job finds it not due. Idempotency-Key holds
for scheduling too.
