⚠️ cron gotcha (bit us 2026-08-28): cron's PATH lacks `/usr/local/bin`,
so the scripts call `/usr/local/bin/restic` by absolute path.

## Closure (2026-08-28)
Documents recreated from a local re-sync, old library trashed → trash
emptied → `seaf-gc.sh -r` (78 m) retired its ~4.9 M fossil commit
objects. **Final: 515,842 inodes (from 24,885,504, −98 %), blocks
590 G (from 867 G), 8 libraries / ~120 k live files / 703 GB.** The
`@pre-gc` snapshot can be destroyed once the new Documents library has
proven itself for a few days (it pins the freed space until then).
