fix(security): redact-on-rotate for error.log archive + README PII docs (DC-108) [glm-grade=B]

DC-095 masks emails at every live log sink; the rotated archive was the
remaining belt-and-braces gap — any future sink that forgets masking would
persist raw PII in error.log.1 for a full rotation cycle. appendErrorLog
now scrubs the freshly rotated archive with the SAME canonical mask
(sa****@example.com) via atomic rewrite (sibling .redact-<pid> temp, wx
open preserving mode else 0600, fsync, rename). Scrub failure is caught
and logged; the new error line is still appended. Stale crash-leftover
.redact-<pid> temps are swept best-effort on every rotation. Also
documents scripts/redact-log-pii.js usage in README (queue item e).

Judge: GLM-5.3 cold read (deleg_e7cd7f8c), round-1 grade B ship — both
nits addressed in-commit: stale-temp sweep (new 5th test pins it),
quoted-local-part mask edge deferred as pre-existing DC-095 primitive.

Tests: 122 suites / 2790 green (+5 DC-108 pins; was 2785 post-DC-107).

+/**
+ * DC-108 — redact-on-rotate tests
+ *
+ * When error.log crosses MAX_ERROR_LOG_SIZE, the rotation renames it to
+ * error.log.1 and (new in DC-108) scrubs the archive with the canonical
+ * email mask. DC-095 masks at every live sink; this is the belt-and-braces
+ * backstop for any future sink that forgets.
+ *
+ * Covers:
+ *   - rotation scrubs raw emails out of the archive (canonical sa****@ form)
+ *   - already-clean archive is never rewritten (inode + mtime preserved)
+ *   - scrub failure does NOT lose the new error line (append still runs)
+ *   - archive mode is preserved across the atomic rewrite
+ *   - no .redact-<pid> temp file is left behind on success
