Scan Host Still 98% Full After the Big Log Was Deleted

Depot scan uploads are being refused.

Briefing

Ferrymark's scan-ingest-02 turns barcode scans from 40 depots into the parcel tracking events customers see.

Dev wants to clear the nightly database dumps in /var/backups to buy room, and Sam suspects journald.

The fix is yours to find: hints, the recovery checks and the debrief unlock inside the incident.
