docs: record what is still outstanding, and unstale the scanner section

Nothing here is broken — these are decisions not made and cleanups not done,
written down before the session's context is lost.

The two that can actually cost something: no daily stories run is scheduled,
and stories are the one surface that cannot be backfilled; and the `seeded`
flags in the state file were reconstructed by hand from a log rather than
derived from the archive DB, so losing artms.db without also clearing the
state file would leave those sources permanently unseeded and re-download
everything.

Also corrects "Scanner work (not done yet)", which shipped in 53b1f80 —
the three .json shapes are told apart structurally in gallery-dl-sidecar.ts
and isReel comes from the sidecar's type. That file lives on main: it parses
archives at display time and is viewer code, not tooling.

## Scanner work (not done yet)
## Scanner work done
`useArchiveScanner` currently treats any `.json` in the tree as a possible
manifest. Adding gallery-dl sidecars needs it to distinguish three things:
Shipped in `53b1f80` ("read gallery-dl sidecars for reel type and post dates").
`useArchiveScanner` tells the three `.json` shapes apart **structurally**, not
by filename, in `src/lib/gallery-dl-sidecar.ts`:
1. Instagram export manifests (`posts_1.json`) — existing path.
2. Instaloader `.json.xz`existing path, GraphQL node shape.
3. gallery-dl `.json`new, flat shape, identified by having
`post_shortcode` + `type` at the top level.
1. Instagram export manifests (`posts_1.json`) — top-level `media` array.
2. Instaloader `.json.xz`GraphQL node under `node` / `__typename`.
3. gallery-dl `.json`flat, `post_shortcode` + `type`, none of the above.
Once (3) is read, `source`/`isStory` and the reel flag should come from `type`
rather than from the directory and the lone-video heuristic.
`post.isReel` now comes from the sidecar's `type`, which is Instagram's own
classification, and beats every fallback in `post-tabs.ts`. Post dates are
ranked rather than last-write-wins (`src/lib/post-dates.ts`): sidecar beats
filename beats mtime.
Note those files live on **`main`** — they parse the archive at display time
and are viewer code, not fetching tooling.
