Move orientation normalization to the Source-ingest boundary and delete the
ProcessingArtifact subsystem it was built to serve.
Stored pages are now already upright, so nothing downstream derives a rotated
copy: every stored byte is the byte a provider is later sent. Rotation runs in
store_source_file ahead of hashing, so source.file_hash and file_size_bytes
describe exactly what is on disk. normalize_orientation becomes bytes-in /
bytes-out, and JPEG output reuses the source quantization tables and chroma
subsampling instead of re-quantizing at a fixed quality - measured at 50.3-56.1
dB PSNR at -6% size, against 50.0-53.5 dB at +38% for quality=95.
ProcessingArtifact held 2 rows against 77 successful transcriptions; the
subsystem effectively never ran. Deleting it removes the artifact cluster from
sources.py, the derivative resolution in workflows.py, the pre-provider commit
that only existed to make an artifact row durable, and the artifact evidence
dump from the Source detail page. The transcription_quality_warnings payload
folds into execution_attempt.normalized_metadata, so that feature keeps working
without the table.
tools/migrate_v46_to_v47.py carries steps 1 and 2: it rotated the 58 stored
images carrying EXIF orientation 3 in place, updated their recorded hash and
size, dropped processing_artifact and removed its one external file. It is
idempotent, keyed on state rather than a version marker.
tools/migrate_v45_to_v46.py is deleted. That migration is complete, and after
V4.7 it would restore a V4.5 backup into a schema that no longer matches.
Also fixes tests/test_config.py, which read the developer's local .env and
failed whenever WORKER_MAX_RETRIES was set.
