+ * Room archive: a durable, searchable local copy of a GroupMind room's whole history.
+ *
+ * Why (petrus, 1 Oct 2026: "can you index the room so you have a memory here? add it to IAK"):
+ * agents answer from whatever is in their context, and the room is far deeper than that. The
+ * per-poller RoomHistory (src/common/room-history.mjs) keeps the last few hundred messages for
+ * reply context; this archive keeps EVERYTHING it has seen, so "what did petrus say about the
+ * display?" is a search, not a guess.
+ *
+ * Storage: one JSONL file per room (one message per line, append-only, deduped by id on load),
+ * under `room_archive.dir` (default ~/.ide-agent-kit/room-archive), directory 0700 and files 0600
+ * (the room can hold private material). Nothing is ever deleted. A small <room>.state.json keeps
+ * an unfinished sync's resume point, so a page budget that runs out never leaves a permanent gap.
+ *
+ * It is a SNAPSHOT: a message edited after it was archived (and older than the next sync's
+ * overlap) and a deleted message are not reconciled. Search results say so.
+ *
+ * Crash safety, precisely: tests inject an exception at every page save and every state save
+ * and require a full recovery. That covers a process dying between those steps; it is NOT a
+ * power-loss / fsync guarantee (writes are not fsynced). Offline, search serves the archive
+ * labelled stale; a server refusal (401/403/404) serves nothing. State files written before
+ * gaps carried `until` keep the older id-based stop for those gaps.
+ *
+ * Sync pages BACKWARDS with `before=<created_at>`: the room API returns newest-first pages of at
+ * most 100 and ignores offset/page/until (they answer 200 with the same newest page, which looks
+ * like success). The timestamp carries a "+00:00" offset, so it MUST be URL-encoded or the server
+ * answers 500. An incremental sync stops at the first page that is entirely already-archived; a
+ * backfill keeps going until the room's beginning or the page budget.
