The admin surface over the Phase 4a engine: two screens, twelve routes and the
reach preview. Nothing in the engine changed; what changed is that an operator
can now reach it.

Four decisions settled by the org lead before any code:

  - segments get their OWN nav entry, "Audiences", not a tab of the rules screen
  - the on/off switch is its own PATCH route, not a full PUT
  - the reach preview is a count only, on demand
  - a rule can be hard-deleted; the send log survives it

The switch is the one with real content in it. A PUT re-validates against the
registries as they are NOW, so the rules a re-validating toggle cannot switch
off are exactly the three an operator most wants stopped: a rule whose module
was uninstalled, one naming a channel that is gone, and one whose trigger has
since narrowed its ceiling under a saved audience. PATCH .../enabled writes one
column and always works. Switching ON unvalidated is safe because the engine
re-checks the ceiling at send time.

The preview calls the engine's own resolver rather than a second query that
agrees with it today, and answers a count and nothing else - the resolver's
output for a module-declared segment is a set of players derived from game data.
It reports `capped` at the 5000-row bound (the count is a floor, not a total),
`reason` for an `owner` audience (which resolves per event and has no advance
answer), and `permitted` so the editor cannot show a healthy number beside a
save the server will refuse.

Two defects found by walking it against a live server, both in Phase 4a's code:

  1. A rule pointing at a DORMANT segment read as healthy. listAnnotated asked
     only whether the segment ROW existed. The other shape of the same failure
     is a segment sitting exactly where it was whose every audience belongs to
     an uninstalled module: same outcome, nothing deleted. Uninstalling a module
     under an enabled rule produced a rule the screen showed as on and firing.
     The expression walk now lives in engagement/segments.js as
     `missingAudiences` and both lists ask it.
  2. "1 rule still use this segment" - the delete refusal pluralised the noun
     and not the verb, in the sentence an operator reads when told no.

Also: a rule's trigger is now a stated rule rather than an omission in the
UPDATE statement (its cooldowns, queued sends and history are all about one
trigger id); a condition tree the editor cannot render is shown read-only rather
than flattened, because flattening changes which events fire the rule; and
literals are coerced client-side to the type the trigger declared, with anything
that does not parse passed through unchanged so the server's refusal names the
variable.

Tests: 21 new server tests (test/engagementAdmin.test.js) and 25 client ones
(client/test/engagementRules.test.js), all green. The single failure in the
server suite (`the committed manifest matches the declarations in the tree`) is
the known Windows CRLF artifact and fails identically on clean edge.

Phase 4 of docs/website/ENGAGEMENT.md, split 4a/4b at the org lead's direction.
This is 4a: the engine, server only, with no HTTP surface at all. A fired trigger
now produces outbox rows and send-log entries; Admin - Engagement - Rules and the
segment composition UI are 4b.

Five tables (rules, audience segments, cooldowns, outbox, sends), the sweep
worker, audience resolution, condition evaluation, the grace window and its
cancellation, and the save-path validation 4b's form will call. engagementEmit's
Phase 2 log line becomes the engine call.

Two settled questions this phase was blocked on:

  Q2 (multi-instance) - neither SKIP LOCKED nor documented single-instance: the
  outbox claims each row with a compare-and-set into the 'sending' state the ENUM
  already carried. It makes the outbox safe for two instances, not the deployment.

  Q4 (admin surface) - its own top-level nav group, built in 4b.

Two defects in the plan's own section 4, both found by building it:

  The global UNIQUE(dedupe_key) was data loss. A dedupe key names the EVENT, and
  one event is one row per (rule, user, channel) - so a fifty-person audience
  would have had one row admitted and forty-nine silently ignored. Scoped.

  Section 4.1's single INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE cooldown claim always
  passes against this codebase's pool: the mariadb connector defaults
  foundRows:true, so a no-op update reports affectedRows 1 rather than 0. It is
  two statements now, with the interval guard in a WHERE clause.

The second defect is why there is a second test file. The stubbed suite was green
against the broken claim, because a stub can only agree with whoever wrote it;
engagementEngineSql.test.js runs the raw statements against a real MariaDB and
skips when there is none.

Verification: 43 new tests green in engagementEngine.test.js, 12 more against
MariaDB 11.8, and the whole path exercised end to end against a live database -
per-subject cooldowns, conditions, the CAS claim, the send log's honest failure
detail, and dormancy on uninstall. The three pre-existing Windows-only CRLF
failures in the generated-artifact tests are unchanged from clean edge.
