claude b0d63c807b style(prune-cache): rewrap the settle-window comment; drop an overclaim
Review nits on #2, both cosmetic.

The sentence added last round left its paragraph at 127 characters in a file
that otherwise wraps comments at 78-79 — the rewrap after the insert simply
did not happen. `awk 'length($0)>80'` over both files now reports one comment
line, the pre-existing 93-character usage string at :4.

Scenario 14's header called its fixture "the only shape that can tell the two
timestamps apart". The property it needs is old mtime with fresh ctime; an
old directory renamed a moment ago is the production instance of that, not
the only construction of it. "Production's shape" was already carrying the
argument.

No behaviour change and no assertion change.

# Regression test for prune-cache.sh. Builds a real scratch git repo standing
# in for `origin` and a real scratch directory standing in for the cache root,
# then runs the ACTUAL script against both — not a simulation of its logic.
#
# What each scenario demonstrates, and why the controls matter as much as the
# fixes (a scenario that always passes proves nothing):
#
# 1. DEAD BRANCH PRUNED, not gated on disk pressure — a cache whose branch
# no longer exists on origin is removed even with plenty of free space.
# Waiting for pressure to notice means paying for dead caches until then.
# 2. LIVE BRANCH SURVIVES despite being OLDER than the dead one — liveness,
# not age, is what decides pass 1.
# 3. PROTECTED REFS NEVER EVICTED under forced disk pressure, even when
# their caches are the oldest on disk and would rank first for LRU.
# 4. LOCKED CACHE PROTECTED even when dead, old, and under pressure — and
# the pass's closing summary agrees with the decline it just logged,
# rather than reporting that it found nothing.
# 5. STALE LOCK NOT HONOURED FOREVER — the same cache with a lock older than
# STALE_LOCK_SECONDS is evicted, so a crashed job cannot pin a directory
# permanently.
# 6. LIVENESS UNAVAILABLE FAILS SAFE — origin unreachable: a genuinely dead
# cache is NOT pruned, the log says so plainly, and the pressure fallback
# still works independently. "Unavailable" degrades to pressure-only, not
# to no eviction at all.
# 7. TARGET DIRS EVICTED BEFORE SNAPSHOTS — the ordering that differs from
# the obvious one. A snapshot is hardlinked to the caches cloned from it,
# so evicting it frees almost nothing while costing every future PR its
# warm start.
# 8. SELF-CLEAR REPORTS LOUDLY to the job summary, not just a log warning.
# 9. OWN CACHE NEVER EVICTED by a sibling pass.
# 10. SCOPED TO THE CACHE ROOT — a decoy outside it (standing in for another
# project's volume) is never touched.
# 11. A LIVE READER MARKER PROTECTS A CACHE the same way a lock file does — a
# directory somebody is hardlink-cloning this instant is not a candidate,
# however dead and however tight the disk.
# 12. AND SO DOES ONE PUBLISHED INSIDE THE CHECK-TO-UNLINK WINDOW, which is
# the property a check-then-delete eviction does NOT have. This is the
# one that fails against the pre-fix script.
# 13. A DEFERRED EVICTION IS RECLAIMED, but not while its reader is live.
# Nothing else globs a dotted name, so an unswept one is disk lost for
# good on the volume whose whole problem is disk.
# 14. AND NOT WHILE ANOTHER PASS MAY STILL BE EVICTING IT. An aside with no
# readers is indistinguishable from one a concurrent pass has just
# renamed and not yet decided about; reclaiming that one lets `rm -rf`
# empty a tree its owner may still restore under a live cache name. Its
# fixture is an OLD directory renamed a moment ago — production's shape,
# and what lets it tell the two timestamps apart.
