test(unread): cover refresh after stale cursor repair

[mindfn]

What

Add one Redis-backed acceptance sequence to visibility-cursor-unresolved-read-policy.test.js:

1. repair an unresolvable legacy read anchor through POST /read/latest;
2. reconstruct RedisThreadReadStateStore to simulate browser/API restart;
3. verify acknowledged history remains at 0 unread;
4. append a genuinely later message and verify exactly 1 unread.

Why

Upstream #1331 landed a stronger #1304 implementation than this PR originally proposed: strict caughtUp settlement, optimistic badge rollback, and overlapping-ACK failure aggregation. The original Web implementation was therefore dropped during rebase.

The upstream suite still lacked the explicit refresh/reconstruction boundary reported by the operator. This PR is intentionally test-only and preserves only that unique regression guard.

Issue Closure

• Refs Bug：历史已读游标失效导致未读数刷新复活，并把旧对话顶进“最近” #1304.
• The issue remains open until the merged implementation is activated downstream and the two reported historical threads pass live refresh acceptance.

Original Requirements

“点开后提示读了，但是刷新页面又还原了；真实新消息仍必须保持未读。”

Reviewer check: the test must prove durable read state survives reconstruction without swallowing a genuinely later message.

Base / Scope

• Base: upstream/main@54c9c37f1ddabee8562fccdc80804815defb575c
• Exact head: 7032eefd17cff9033405949717ce1fe162a1bbb5
• Diff: one test file, +17 lines.
• No production-code changes.

Tips Contribution

• tips_exempt: test-only regression guard; no new user action or capability

Tradeoff

• Dropped all original Web changes because sync: publish A2A reliability, Host Broker, and meeting intake #1331 contains a more complete implementation.
• Kept this integration-level assertion rather than duplicating the new frontend unit tests.

Risk Assessment

• Behavior: none — test-only.
• Data: none — isolated Redis test namespace; no production data.
• Security: none.
• Contract: low — asserts the existing read/latest durable cursor contract.
• Irreversible: none.

Test Evidence

• pnpm --filter @cat-cafe/api build: pass.
• Isolated Redis unresolved-policy suite: 15 passed, 0 failed on redis://127.0.0.1:6398/15.
• Upstream ACK settlement / rollback frontend targets: 24 passed, 0 failed.
• git diff --check: pass.
• sync: publish A2A reliability, Host Broker, and meeting intake #1331 GitHub CI: Build, Lint, Test Public, Test Windows, and Directory Size Guard all pass.

Review Provenance

• Previous review covered the pre-rebase implementation and is not being reused as final approval.
• Scoped independent review for the test-only exact HEAD is pending.
• Cloud review: not selected; this is a single deterministic test hunk with local stateful review.

Thanks for isolating the remaining read-ack lifecycle gap and covering every terminal transport path. The distinction between “the request settled” and “the server confirmed catch-up” is real, and #1304 remains accepted.

Maintainer verdict for this PR: POLITELY-DECLINE / WRONG_LAYER.

The canonical source landed a stricter superset before this PR was opened:

• caughtUp === true is the only confirmation truth;
• every terminal response path settles the local ACK lifecycle;
• if any member of an overlapping ACK batch is unconfirmed, the optimistic unread/mention snapshot is restored after the batch drains;
• durable canonical read anchors preserve unread truth across retention and refresh.

In the current branch, confirmUnreadAck and settleUnreadAck both reduce to the same balancing lifecycle. That prevents the pending suppression counter from leaking, but an error or caughtUp: false does not preserve the stronger rollback/overlap contract already present in source.

These files are export-managed shared source. Merging a weaker target-side duplicate would create temporary divergence and then be overwritten by the next outbound sync. Please do not spend more time revising this branch; we will carry the canonical source through the normal outbound path and keep #1304 open until the target rollout and live refresh acceptance are complete. You may close this PR when convenient.

Closing per the maintainer POLITELY-DECLINE / WRONG_LAYER verdict. The canonical #1304 implementation is already in upstream main via #1331; export-managed target files must not carry a divergent test-only patch. The local test evidence remains documented on #1304, which stays open for downstream activation and live refresh acceptance.
